Friday (1995)

Steve picks the ultimate quotable comedy Friday (1995), and the dads dive into Ice Cube and Chris Tucker's hood classic that basically created its own language. From "Bye, Felicia" to "puff, puff, give," this movie spawned more everyday phrases than Shakespeare.

Set over one day in South Central LA, Friday follows Craig (Ice Cube) after he gets fired and spends the day on his porch with best friend Smokey (Chris Tucker), who's got a serious problem. Smokey's been smoking Big Worm's weed instead of selling it, and now they owe $200 by 10 o'clock or they're both dead. What starts as a lazy Friday quickly becomes a neighborhood adventure featuring crackhead Ezel, neighborhood bully Deebo, and a cast of characters that feel like real people living real lives.

The guys celebrate how Friday broke new ground as the first comedy actually set in the hood, treating it as a normal place where families live rather than just a backdrop for violence. Steve and Nic geek out over John Witherspoon's legendary bathroom scenes, DJ Pooh's hilarious Red, and Chris Tucker's shoulder twitch that still makes them laugh every single time.

They also dig into the film's incredible quotability, noting how lines like "you got knocked the f*** out" and "that's my pleasure" have become part of standard American English. Steve admits the movie suffers slightly from Anchorman syndrome where the source material gets blamed for annoying quoters, but both agree this holds up as brilliant character-driven comedy that launched Ice Cube's screenwriting career and put Chris Tucker on the map.
