I saw an interview with Emo Phillips where he bragged about still getting residuals from UHF. Then he showed a check for $0.10.

UHF was an underrated comedy. I'd love to see Weird Al team up with the Zucker brothers (Airplane, Naked Gun) and do, well, about anything.

But, I still like Belushi. He understood what today's "comics" (Jack Black, Will Ferrell) don't get.... less is more. One raised eyebrow beats the hell out of overplaying a scene, every time.

Heck, the best laugh Jack Benny every got was from dead silence. ("your money or your life!!" ....................................................................................................................................................................)

I'm Thinking! I'm Thinking!

one of the great lines of all time.

another is from Bob Newhart's bit about a cheap airline "I'm sorry sir but I can't hear you over the roar of our engines.... Oh! Wait, they've stopped.
