I like this scene - but it pales in comparison to the "full retard" dialogue!
This was a very funny movie. I'm glad the writers didn't load it with too much ridiculous talk (like the "Full-Retard" bit - still funny). Lines like the one posted provided a good balance of really funny scenes to go with the funny, over-the-top stuff.
Stiller caught a lot of flack over some of that controversial dialogue, but he saved the movie with some other gems like "I know what dude I am. I'm the dude playin' the dude, disguised as another dude!" and "You know back before the war broke out I was a saucier in San Antone. I bet I could collar up some of them greens, yeah, some crawfish out the paddy, yo'! Ha! I'm makin' some crabapples for dessert now, yo! Hell yeah, ha!"
