    • Alternate versions

      • "My thingy smells like lamb chops"
      • "Did you know he can put his penis in his mouth, the whole thing?"
      • "His poor rectum is absolutely pulverized, which is not usual for a sheep in this region."

    RIP Harold Ramis
    "Just wait right there. I'll be right back to cut your pen*ses"

    Harold Ramis' final film before he passed away in 2014. May his soul rest in peace. His works will continue to inspire and make people happy.
