One of the funniest ever, 2 March 2005
10/10
Author: malcolm9999 from United States

Normally parodies don't age well and become dated, but this one just keeps on giving, with quotes like.

"Blech, these grapes tastes like Fresno".

Billy Joe Bob (idiot) to court appointed (female) attorney, "I just want my wife to stay home, cook my food and have babies, you know, to be in her place. You can understand that, can't you ma'am?".

Same idiot, "Dang it, we shouldn't have killed Martha, we should have killed Kane" - (I'm not going to explain this one, just trust me, I'm laughing right now just thinking about it ... 19 years later.).

And lastly, never for get, "No, I hadn't thought of that .... until now!".

I would pay between $50 and $100 bucks for this one on DVD (a legit copy, that is).
