NFT: Re: Dirty Work (the movie)

jnoble : 12/14/2020 6:48 pm
Anyone else a fan of this? It's one of my favorite comedies and a guilty pleasure. Like I know its low brow juvenile and obviously done on a low budget but I enjoy it anyway and often quote from it with a couple friends

Norm MacDonald mentioned in interviews that they could tell something was going on with Chris Farley during filming in summer 1997 since he had ballooned up to even bigger proportions and was uncharacteristically in a bad mood throughout
Also Howard Stern was offered the role of Satan but turned it down
It's been a while. Is Artie Lange in this?

I noticed how in the scene before that when Mitch was telling the prostitutes what he needed then to do, there were at least 7 or 8 of them in the room but later when he pulled his dead hooker in the trunk gag there were only 3 or 4 actually used in the cars

Like pulling out.
Farley owned that movie.

Norm: Now I’m in my thirties, I can’t hold a job, I go with women I don’t even like. And worst of all, I take crap from absolutely everybody. Ah well, things could be worse, y’know, I uh… [louder] I coulda got my nose bit off by a Saigon whore!

Farley: [Slow burn revealing his bitten-off nose] You… bastard!

I love the last Farley scene. Didn’t make any sense outside of ‘hey, let’s write Farley into another scene and we’ll put it at the end.
Underrated

Gem. Norm, in general, is a complete genius.
farley was tremendous in that movie.

I think "almost hero's" with Matthew Perry was his last one, funny how that one is like the forgotten Farley movie.
both came out in '98  
japanhead : 12/14/2020 11:16 pm : link
but almost heroes was filmed/released first.
almost heroes was an underrated classic tho.  
japanhead : 12/14/2020 11:18 pm : link
great supporting cast and farley was incredible as always.
Love this movie

the Don Rickles scene was classic. “Baskin Robbins called, they’re down to only five flavors.”

Norm is a master troll and comedic genius
The scene with all the dead hookers in the trunks

Always makes me chuckle.
I've been watching

a lot of Norm videos on YouTube lately. So much about comedy is delivery, and no one has a delivery like him. Such a funny and weird dude.

This was a really strong cast for a comedy with Norm, Artie, Farley, and Don Rickles. All of those guys are very funny, but I agree that Farley definitely stole the show in this one. I've heard Norm say that Farley was the funniest person he has ever been around.
Love Norm and I like Artie  
Moondawg : 12/16/2020 12:54 pm : link
I enjoyed Dirty Work alot. Few YouTube wormholes are as satisfying as deep dives of Norm, esp. his guesting on talk shows.

Such a great scene.

movie I watched when it was on PPV when getting one of those boxes.
Also I have used the line from Don Rickles "He has the personality of a dead moth" a few times here at work.
