Derek is definately my favorite character. He wants so badly to be more than just a bass player. Don't we all.

Salut Derek.

That too was superb. Very clever. The tuning bit just took it to an extra level.

exactly. i was on the floor when he kicked the guitar standing on the rack, after the violin action i laughed so hard i couldn't breath. i remember lying on the floor, desperately trying to catch some air and still laughing hysterically.

Yes!

And " I don't know, - what are the hours?"

I use "currently residing in the 'where are they now?' file a lot as well.

In the extras on the dvd, there is a scene where the band is being driven to the Airforce base gig. Nigel is bitching to Janine about how he doesn't want to do this horrible show and she responds with some blah blah on upcoming astrological shifts and then yells over all the bitching,

"It's to'al joy from now on!"

Lovely.

the scene where Derek Smalls gets stuck in the plastic pod thing
the Derek Smalls cucumber scene at the airport
the midgets dancing around the Stonehenge model
the piano song called lick my lovepump

The cucumber scene is great. Wrapped in aluminum foil?

My other favorite is the very brief bad review of the album Shark Sandwich.

Also from Rob's beginning rap:

"Seventeen years and fifteen albums later, Spinal Tap is still going strong, and they've earned a distinguished place in rock history as one of England's loudest bands."

That was thee best part of that opening scene - I love how when he delivers that line, he stands up proudly and crosses his arms, only to immediately drop them in a really awkward fashion. It is so perfect.

I laughed for 2 days straight.

The scene on the extras disc where Tufnell meets St. Hubbins' son is incredible. The look on Tufnell's face. Total disgust.

Spinal Tap! You are to bring the funny like no other film maybe!
