this thread is dedicated to the subtle jokes in movies and TV shows that you didnt pick up on the first time you saw it but the second and third time you finally picked up on them.

The Office - Pilot

dwight telling ryan about his camarro

Dwight - "yea, picked it up for $2,400, put a new engine, transmission, and exhaust in it, now its worth almost $3,000"
Michael - "Yep!, and thats all profit."



so what are some good lines yall picked up on the second go around?

"Are you, Alice, menstrating right now?"

I think we all know where this came from. Had no idea what meant as a kid.

"She came in from the garden carrying flowers. She put roses on the piano and tulips on the organ." - St. Elsewhere.

The "Seaward" - Arrested Development.

All the jokes in Lebowski that are about stuff that hasn't yet happened in the movie at that point and you only get the 2nd/3rd/20th time through.

It's an old as hell movie, but it was years before I heard it.When Arthur (Dudley Moore).gets his arse beat at the wedding and the father in law pulls that giant knife out of the cheese wheel. Arthur says 'you think he wants some cheese??"

Idk why, but when I finally heard him I laughed forever

Not sure which one but St. Elsewhere was supposedly a book that Dr. Craig had written. Tulips - two lips.

The "Seaward" you almost have to see. They are talking about a ship and the mom overhears and thinks they are talking about her. (c-word).

not really a line but the beginning of super troopers, they pull the kids over in the middle of the day and Jay Chandrasekhar has his flashlight on peering in the window

the best two examples of this I can think of are Arrested Development and MacGruber.

Arrested Development obvious.

Watch MacGruber more than twice and you will catch endless amounts of jokes you initially missed
