    Zhou Xingchi's work of the same name is still a reference to this one. The film adopts a sardonic tone, criticizing and mocking the field of American TV and film in the last century. A rather bizarre event, a bitter interpretation experience. It is more like a violent accusation against the solidification of the class to be the king of the night than to be a boring person for a lifetime, and the popularity after being released from prison is also an irony. The characters in Martin's works are...

    Consistent with Travis, a variable input into a stable mechanism (election/talk show) will disrupt the waves, make all the well-dressed people devastated, and it is public opinion that saves the situation. Lao Ma has condensed all the mockery of elitism into his cameo role. Inside the building, the camera is precise, and the streets flow freely. After all, these are two...

    I deliberately compared the English name with the movie of the same name of Xing Ye, one with "The" and one without. The difference of one article is the difference between Scorsese's all-in-one and Xingye's one-to-one. Similarly, when I read some online articles commenting on Ge You's acting skills, I suddenly realized that the painting styles of De Niro and Ge are the same. But one thing is that when they performed the thousands of people in the play, they did not forget who they were. Acting...

    I'd rather be the king of the night than be a scumbag for the rest of my life! Only by kidnapping the big shots is the only way for me to enter the show business circle. The joke is on the outside and the irony is on the bone. Although the story is a little fake, it is still a proud masterpiece in terms of overall completion. After this end of the road, fortunately, you will eventually become the king of...

    I really have no idea about stand-up comedy, and I personally think that De Niro didn't perform stand-up comedy well. Although there are not many stand-up comedies, De Niro's actions are really only those few. I personally think The stand-up comedy can't only be funny in the things it says, but also in the actions... Maybe it's because I don't like most of the characters played by De Niro in the films I've...

    Great comedy! A must see for talk show lovers. De Niro's acting is amazing. I didn't expect Director Martin to have such an interesting...

    My own bitterness will become a joke when I say it by myself, and I can't help but feel sad when watching the last talk show of the male protagonist. We are all in the sea, please ask yourself for more happiness. Viewed at the film...

The King of Comedy quotes

  • Rupert Pupkin: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Let me introduce myself. My name is Rupert Pupkin. I was born in Clifton, New Jersey... which was not at that time a federal offense. Is there anyone here from Clifton? Oh, good. We can all relax now. I'd like to begin by saying... my parents were too poor to afford me a childhood. But the fact is that... no one is allowed to be too poor in Clifton. Once you fall below a certain level... they exile you to Passaic. My parents did put the first two down payments on my childhood. Don't get me wrong, but they did also return me to the hospital as defective. But, like everyone else I grew up in large part thanks to my mother. If she were only here today... I'd say, "Hey, ma, what are you doing here? You've been dead for nine years!" But seriously, you should've seen my mother. She was wonderful. Blonde, beautiful, intelligent, alcoholic. We used to drink milk together after school. Mine was homogenized. Hers was loaded. Once they picked her up for speeding. They clocked her doing 55. All right, but in our garage? And when they tested her... they found out that her alcohol had 2% blood. Ah, but we used to joke together, mom and me... until the tears would stroll down her face... and she would throw up! Yeah, and who would clean it up? Not dad. He was too busy down at O'Grady's... throwing up on his own. Yeah. In fact, until I was 13 I thought throwing up was a sign of maturity. While the other kids were off in the woods sneaking cigarettes... I was hiding behind the house with my fingers down my throat. The only problem was I never got anywhere... until one day my father caught me. Just as he was giving me a final kick in the stomach for luck... I managed to heave all over his new shoes! "That's it", I thought. "I've made it. I'm finally a man!" But as it turned out, I was wrong. That was the only attention my father ever gave me. Yeah, he was usually too busy out in the park playing ball with my sister Rose. But today, I must say thanks to those many hours of practice my sister Rose has grown into a fine man. Me, I wasn't especially interested in athletics. The only exercise I ever got was when the other kids picked on me. Yeah, they used to beat me up once a week... usually Tuesday. And after a while the school worked it into the curriculum. And if you knocked me out, you got extra credit. There was this one kid, poor kid... he was afraid of me. I used to tell him..."Hit me, hit me. What's the matter with you? Don't you want to graduate?" Hey, I was the youngest kid in the history of the school to graduate in traction. But, you know, my only real interest right from the beginning, was show business. Even as a young man, I began at the very top collecting autographs. Now, a lot of you are probably wondering... why Jerry isn't with us tonight. Well, I'll tell you. The fact is he's tied up. I'm the one who tied him. Well, I know you think I'm joking... but, believe me, that's the only way... I could break into show business... by hijacking Jerry Langford. Right now, Jerry is strapped to a chair... somewhere in the middle of the city. Go ahead, laugh. Thank you. I appreciate it. But the fact is, I'm here. Now, tomorrow you'll know I wasn't kidding... and you'll think I was crazy. But, look, I figure it this way. Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime. Thank you. Thank you.

  • Secretary: Is Mr. Langford expecting you?

    Rupert Pupkin: Yes, I don't think he is.
