Best Performance in Caddyshack?
« on: April 20, 2007, 12:52:20 PM »
I was watching it on HBO last night and admiring the incredible comic performances.  That led me to wonder, who was the best and why?  Here are your choices in no particular order:

Chevy Chase
Rodney Dangerfield
Ted Knight
Bill Murray

Despite all being brilliant, my answer would be Ted Knight.  The reason is that he was given the only character which was by design supposed to be unlikeable (compare Rodney's character), yet found a way to be as funny as the others.

What do you think?

Bill Murray. 

Almost a cop-out answer.  But, he's just funny.  Some of the lines that were made up on the spot are hillarious even today.

So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.
