movies/tv Big Lipped Alligator Moments

[DEEcat98 5]

What scenes from movies or tv shows do you think are Big Lipped Alligator Moments? For those of you who don't know what is means. Here is what it is.

 

A scene that comes right out of nowhere, has nothing to do with the plot, it is over the top, and after when it is over, no one ever speaks of it again.

You seem to find that kind of stuff in movies and shows that are genuinely bad like "the nutshack"

I haven't seen any bad movies or TV shows lately so I can't recall

   Hah! That is VERBATIM right there! Hah, brohoofed, fellow Nostalgia Critic fan!

 

    I think that's an important distinction there too. Usually a B.L.A.M. (... just noticed the acronym for that...Lol!) will last for several minutes & take a hefty chunk of the movie/episode. Alot of shows these days will have cutaways or other small, nonsensical Non Sequitur (french for 'It Doesn't Follow) for the sake of a gag, but a B.L.A.M is a full-on production that lasts for several minutes & a whole musical number or production, clearly intending to draw attention to itself as if it were important when there's no decipherable reason for it to be there. Hence its initial example in All Dogs Go To Heaven. There's this whole song & dance about some oddly designed Alligator character that is never brought up again. Basically, I'd say its not a B.L.A.M unless you get the vague uneasy feeling that you either just suffered a small brain hemorrhage or got slipped something in your drink.

 

   I KNOW  i've seen a notable amount, but I can't think of any right now.

     Never watched WaterWorld myself, but NC does bring it up I think. There's this Old Guy the villains keep down in some impossibly large oil tank on some small boat seemingly without any light, food or anything else. They just shout down to him from time to time apparently to get a measurement of how much oil they have, then lock him back up in there. We only see him twice & only do that second time because the oil somehow gets lit on fire & we hear one last grateful exclamation from the spindly, abandoned & abused gent before he meets an epicly explosive end.

 

    ... I don't know... maybe ALL of WaterWorld was one big Big-Lipped Alligator Momment...

Well I don't really if it exactly counts as a Big Lipped Alligator Moment, the scene in Doctor Strange in which the ancient one sends Strange's astral body throughout the multiverse is super trippy, like really really trippy, and I don't think he mentions it again, but it is the part of the movie of where the ancient one convinces him that magic is real and all that kinda jazz, so it is kinda important, but it is still super weird, and that experience is never really brought up again.

There's a scene in the Woody Allen film Take the Money and Run where he's attempting a prison break and catches the Warden's daughter kissing another inmate.

 

Virgil (Allen's character): "I got your daughter!"

Warden: "Hold your fire, men!"

Virgil: "Let me go or she gets it!"

Warden: "What's she doing down there?"

Virgil: "She was kissing Kowalski!"

Warden: "Is Kowalski a midget?"

Virgil: "No!"

Warden, turning to the other officers: "He's not a midget."

 

That scene never made any sense at all.

Whenever Peter Griffin suddenly fights Ernie The Giant Chicken for no reason.

 

Of course, that's actually a good BLAM, IMO.

oh god theres been several, but my brain is struggling ot think of any great ones. How about the whole of Lion King 3/1 1/2 

 

but of course the original All Dog's Big Lipped Gator scene is the best XD

Honestly I thought those got old by the 3rd fight, especially with how long that dragged on
