The Other Guys (2010) has an absurd number of running gags and callbacks

I was rewatching The Other Guys the other day and again realized how densely-packed it is with running gags and callback jokes. These include (in no particular order):​“Captain Gene” (3)TLC references (5)Allen is inexplicably popular with women (7)Allen’s “Gator” alter-ego (5)Allen’s Prius keeps getting damaged in various ways (7)Terry shot Derek Jeter (6)Little River Band / mellow music doesn’t match the scene (5)Captain keeps taking away Allen’s weapon (3)Dirty Mike and the boys (3)Terry is ironically good at something artistic (3)Other cops bully Allen for trying to be nice (4)“I’m a peacock. You gotta let me fly.” (4)Allen’s apps (narration app, fashion app, Faceback) (4)Allen keeps saying that his perfect wife (Sheila) is shitty (4)Allen and Sheila have a very aggressive sex life (3)Allen loves Ershon’s water (3)Martin and Fosse keep trying to be the next super cops but fail (4)Desk pop / apartment pop (3)Allen gets too detailed with animal references (2)Terry keeps coming on to Allen’s wife (3)Weirdly specific threats (3)Fresh starts (2)Terry thinks everything is related to drug dealers (3)Terry thinks ex is going out with guys who are clearly gay (2)Ershon keeps trying to bribe Terry and Allen with tickets to things (3)Ershon is into weird sex stuff (3)Bad guys keep taking Terry and Allen’s shoes (3)Danson and Highsmith go on absurd chases (2)People keep making fun of Allen’s Prius (3)Bob rambles on at a bad time; Terry yells at him (2)Captain’s son is bisexual (2)Captain has another job at Bed Bath and Beyond (2)​The number in parentheses indicate how many times the joke is used or repeated. Such a good comedy that much more deserved a sequel than Daddy's Home. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2T9uuiw
