The Farrelly Brothers had an impressive string of movies I thought were really funny back in the 90s (Kingpin, Dumb and Dumber, Something About Mary, the script for the forgotten and underrated Outside Providence). I’m not sure why their style of comedy doesn’t work anymore, exactly, but it’s hard to watch them try to force that same kind of movie past its sell-by date over and over again (Heartbreak Kid, anyone?). Anyway, this one’s called Hall Pass, and it stars Owen Wilson and the eminently likable Jason Sudeikis as guys whose wives give them a week off from their marriage to do whatever they want. They get so excited that they start eating pot brownies and wearing motorcycle helmets indoors like two 13-year-olds who’ve never heard of a prostitute.

I’d rather watch the other half of this movie where these two dudes’ wives spend the entire week getting hollowed out by the biggest, blackest, dickiest guys they can pick up.
I tried to watch Dumb and Dumber again recently. It was fucking longer than Ben Hur. Still laughed at the snowball fight though.
My wife says it’s ok for me to fuck your mother whenever I want. We call it a Hotdog-Down-a-Hall Pass.
I’m not sure why their style of comedy doesn’t work anymore
My theory: because reality TV and the internet have taught us that real life is way more fucked up than anything the Farrelly brothers could imagine. Their career ended the day “2 Girls 1 Cup” went viral.
I have a pretty good deal going with my wife. She lets me nail any women twice her age. We call it a “Shawl Pass.”
That’s weird, ragoner, because my wife lets me nail any women half her age. We call it a “Crawl Pass.”
Jason Sudekis is adorable. I could watch him do the “What Up with That?” dance forever.
Everything they did subsequent and including Shallow Hal has been horrifically unfunny. Its like being in the presence of Jason Alexander doing anything other than George somehow sucked the comedy out of them.
Oh- and Fever Pitch unforgivably tainted what should have been one of the greatest sports moments of my life.
That’s weird, keyHo, because my wife doesn’t let me nail any women and . . . I don’t want to play this game anymore.
My wife, when we were married, would withhold sex if she thought I was even looking at another woman. We called it blue ball pass.
Haha, Erswi’s got a Doll Pass.
There’s Something About Mary still holds up better than Cameron Diaz’s face
If your wife gives you the week off, she’s really doing it for herself. A whole week of the toilet seat being down and not having to pick sticky socks up off the floor would be glorious.
George Michael’s boyfriend gave him a Stall Pass.
My wife lets me bang any backwoods “Nell” type girls I find down here in Tennessee. We call it a y’all pass.
My wife lets me nail any girls I pick up in AOL chatrooms, we call it my “LOL Pass”.
My wife lets me nail dead hookers, we call it my “Pall Pass”.
My wife lets me nail any woman who is willing to fuck me after she sees my dick.
…
…
Yup, I’ve got a “Small” Pass.
@noMo
Yes but then it’s only fair that your wife learn how to cook some new meals during that time off
My wife lets me nail whatever I want as long as I use real nails and a hammer. We call it my Maul Pass.
Let me guess the end to this one: They finally get whores willing to get tagged then they pussy out and cry for their wives. “hope you had the time of your life” plays and i dismissively wank.
My husband lets me bang anyone I want, any time I want.
It’s called my “I’ve-got-you-by-the-balls” pass.
Outside Providence really was terrific.
I still love the line “My brother Jackie is paralyzed. Freak accident….we were playing football and he fell off the roof.”
And of course “You’ve received a letter from someone named Drugs.” “Delaney?” “How many people named Drugs do you associate with?” “Just the one.”
My wife lets me nail her own mother. We call it the ADRHRHGRHGHHAAHHH!! pass.
My wife lets me….oh wait, I’m single. I can have all the sex I want!
I call it the ALL pass bitches.
