Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie (2012)

A brutally hilarious and endlessly re-watchable anti-comedy that is set in a dead and decaying American shopping mall; Spencer's has been substituted with a full-blown sex shop, because why bother with any pretense of having at least a modicum of taste. You've also got "Dan's Tiny Baby Outlet" (which is only open for two days a week, as John C. Reilly informs), a retailer that specializes in used toilet paper, and other worthless space-fillers. The new age "Shrimm Healing Center" has forever altered my perception of Ray Wise, and there is a parody of the Panera Bread restaurant that leaves me in tears every time I see it.

This movie also sets it's crosshairs on assorted loathsome clichés, such as a character stealing his best friend's date à la Dumb and Dumber. Unlike film adaptions of so many other, more respected comedy shows -- Beavis and Butthead, South Park, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, etc. -- this one never compromises or looses steam over the course of it's full-length run time.

Lilo & Stitch, to the point where I actually have the entire movie script memorized in my head.

I was obsessed with the franchise as a kid, and I still kind of am.

Even as I get older, I've learned to appreciate it even more; basically, the story of two misfits from two different worlds, both coming together to form a really strong bond.
