If you can make it through the campfire scene without at least smiling you are dead inside.

As a college student, I went to see the original theatrical release. Bought a big tub of popcorn and was stuffing my face with it. At the campfire scene popcorn tried to come out my nose. No warning. I could have choked to death right there on popcorn like Mama Cass on a ham sandwich.

Among the many great lines, some I still use myself:

Say boys, where de white wimmin' at?
Is that a ten gallon hat or you just happy to see me?
I didn't get a harrumph outta that guy!
The Sheriff is a n-BONG (church bell rings).
What did he say?
He said the sheriff is near.
No! Dad blame it! I said the sheriff is a n-BONG!
Allow me to whip this out.
