mollyringleFollowing are quotes from some of my favorite comedies, those that have inspired and influenced me over the years. To make a game of it, I’ve left blanks in the quotations. How many can you fill in? How many sources can you name?
Since it’s a long list, I won’t give the answers in the comments. I’ll post them sometime tomorrow instead.
All are from films, except the first two, which are from TV. Some sources have more than one quotation listed. Googling counts as cheating. Your grade will not go on your permanent record. Let the games begin!
