07.23.09 FORGOTTEN CLASSICS: ‘BINGO’, THE DOG PIMP
Movie news can get a little slow at times. Luckily, movie olds is a bottomless well of hilarity – and dog movies! Long story short, that’s why we have the Forgotten Classics segment.
As you may have noticed, Forgotten Classics skews heavily in favor of dog movies, but 1991’s Bingo may be the best one yet. The Washington Post calls him “a bona fide star, sort of a canine Macauley Culkin.” Seriously, they did! In the trailer, Bingo proves that he can:
- Get busted for DUI
- Pick up on bitches
- Hammer beers in his dog house
- Drive a truck
- Wave at other dogs with his paw
- Get involved in a prison riot
- Get the drop on a grizzly bear
- Snort coke with a clown
- Skateboard
- Testify in a court of law
And most importantly, he can cover his face with his paws. Dog-covering-his-face-with-paws is like the money shot of a dog movie, only more satisfying. I’m pretty sure Bingo is the long lost cousin of Birthday Dog and Party Dog. Party Dog knows where the bitches at, yo.

He’s still a little messed up from when that farmer “had” him.
He’s B-I-*Clap clap clap*
I think I actually remember this.
I actually saw this.
If I remember correctly, the kid’s Dad is an NFL place kicker and gets traded from the Broncos to the Packers….
*has a moment of clarity*
Fuck! This is where I am in life?
Bingo was kind of like the Benji for cool kids.
I wanna hit the B-O-N-G-*clap*
What the fuck, he is clearly ripping off the dog from the classic movie Summer School.
And holy shit, Pauly jogged my memory. I remember this movie, it was awesome.
Now way madman, the Summer School dog is wearing a lei.
Mark Harmon.
At the end of the Snoop Dogg “What’s My Name?” video, he turns into Nick Nolte.
“He likes his dog food wet, and his women wetter”
Haha, i love you bingo

I literally did all these things the weekend before last.
i cut the trailer off just as don lafontaine was saying “more hip…” and i like to think the line was going to be “more hip than an octogenarian.”
because theyre old you see and they need new limbs.
pauly, you shouldnt refer to her as a grizzly bear, she had a nice personality…but you did get the drop on her!
Speaking of getting the jump on a Grizzly Bear…..
I’m headed for the fucking Yukon in about a week for most of August. I’ll be bringing you bird rapists back a either a bear skin rug, or the bear will be bringing you back a Rock Strongo-skin rug. I assume either works for you.
Is your place of business punishing you for something?
most would think that, yes… but for full disclosure, I’m a PhD student in geology… so, yeah… field mapping
I have a PhD.
Pretty huge DICK!
Pauly, I’ll be taking your word on that one
I wish I had a PhD :(
Even if Chino did have a Phd, I’d still have the hots for her.
(as long as she kept it tucked)
But can he stare down Cupcake Dog?
(No. No one can stare down Cupcake Dog.)
That motherfucker still hasn’t got his cupcake?
It has to be stale by now….
I bet the Taco Bell dog can out stare Cupcake Dog.
BOOSH!
True Story: “Bingo” and “Home Alone” were the first movies I ever owned.
Guess my age!
Animal abuse is funny
Twelvety.
^ correct!
Eleventeen.
Went to see Bruno this evening. Had some big laughs.
*Spoiler alert, kind of*
When the cocks start flashing, right after the great Harrison Ford interview, two couples who were sat in front of us stormed out in disgust. God knows what movie they thought they were going to see.
I saw it opening day with a bunch of older couples.
No one walked out, and I was sorely disappointed.
My secret shame, why couldn’t you stayed burried? I saw this movie so many times as a kid. I even had a movie picture book version from Scholastic.
BTW, Sledge Hammer (title character of a criminally under appreciated show) aka David Rasche is in this.
i walked out at that part too…and then came back in sweating and smoking a cigarette
*covers face with paws*
*inserts lipstick in Pauly’s butt*
i suggested the movie as a forgotten classic. as soon as i saw the poster, i instantly knew that it deserved the honor.
Party Dog is totally bros with the List Wolf http://www.putthatshitonthelist.blogspot.com
