Mauling Movie Quotes

The5thMaryThe5thMary Shipmate
edited January 2024 in The Circus
I'm sure this game has been played before but let's trop it out again, shall we?

I'll start by quoting the real line from a movie, say Dirty Dancing: "Nobody puts Baby in the corner!" and the I'll maul the innocent line by changing the last word.

And we can use new quotes when this one has been thoroughly mangled. I'll start, naturally.

"Nobody puts Baby in acid!"

* * * * *

Suggested Rules clarification, added by Wesley J, Circus Host:
  • Start by quoting the real line from a movie, say Dirty Dancing: "Nobody puts Baby in the corner!"
  • Maul the innocent line by changing the last word.
  • After 3 mangled versions of the same quote, start with a new quote from the same movie, or with a new quote from an entirely different movie for mangling.

    Trot, I meant.

    I'm not exactly clear what you want us to do here.

    Does this imply that we keep parodying the same quote repeatedly, until we get tired of it, and then someone suggests a new one?
  • The5thMaryThe5thMary Shipmate
    Yeah.
  • The5thMaryThe5thMary Shipmate
    Bad idea?

    Nobody puts baby in the senate.
  • GallovidianGallovidian Shipmate
    Is it just the last word we can change?

    Well, it's a somewhat subjective criterion as when to stop, but the overall game sounds pretty good. No objections from me.

    Any boundaries around games in The Circus are set by the hosts: @la vie en rouge , @Piglet or @Wesley J. I am sure this will be fine @The5thMary .

    To be frank, I am not quite sure right now what the suggested rules are in this game here. To avoid further confusion, I am closing this thread for the moment.

    @The5thMary - can you please PM me and explain your rules a bit further? Once this is clear, we can re-open the thread and update the rules. Many thanks indeed..

    In the meantime, there are plenty of other games to apply your playfulness to. Thank you for your patience. :)

    After giving this some thought and after some discussion, these amended rules might work:
    • Start by quoting the real line from a movie, say Dirty Dancing: "Nobody puts Baby in the corner!"
    • Maul the innocent line by changing the last word.
    • After 3 mangled versions of the same quote, start with a new quote from the same movie, or with a new quote from an entirely different movie for mangling.

    I'll put the rules also as an add-on in the opening post.

    Off you go, manglers...! :)

    I may be misunderstanding, but I think this game is maybe getting mixed up with Four Letter Words. My understanding of @The5thMary's OP was just to change the last word of a film quote to give a different, (possibly humorous) meaning, and each answer was a one-off entity?

    Changing one letter at a time was, I think, the premise of Four Letter Words.

    If I've got this completely wrong, please ignore this post!

    Thanks,

    Piglet, Circus host

  • The5thMaryThe5thMary Shipmate
    Nope. I wanted the last word to be changed. Thanks, Piglet.

  • la vie en rougela vie en rouge Purgatory Host, Circus Host
    There is much sherry!
  • The5thMaryThe5thMary Shipmate
    The last word of the quote is the word that needs to be changed, la vie en rouge
  • CameronCameron Shipmate
    Where is much sherry?!
