Happy Gilmore: The Price is Right

Happy Gilmore had a great character with Joe Flaherty as the jeering fan (we'll call him 'Joe').  With Bob Barker in the movie, the film could have tied in Happy, Bob, Joe and the Price Is Right with a funny backstory.

Follow:

When Shooter McGavin recruits Joe, Joe could say something like "Don't worry about Happy.  I know how to push his buttons.  I've done it before. Ha ha..."





When Bob and Happy meet, Bob says something like, "I remember you.  You better not cause any trouble this time." and Happy answers, "That wasn't my fault.  You saw how I was provoked.  You were there!".





This is all tied together during during the end credits, where a title sequence says "A few years ago" and we're at the Price is Right.



Joe and Happy are contestants and Joe is having fun bidding $1 more than Happy each time.






With the next prize up for auction, Happy bids $600.

Bob: We come to Joe.  What do you bid?




Happy: Look, you creep, if you say $601, I'll break your freaking neck!!!"

Bob: I'll have to ask you to calm down, Happy.  This a family show.

Happy: Look, Bob, I want to have fun but this jackass keeps bidding a dollar extra on my bids!

Bob: It's part of the game, Happy, and keep the language civil, please.  What's your bid, Joe?

Happy: You better not say 601...

Joe (evil smile): 602.

Happy loses it and attacks Joe.  Bob gets involved.  

Pandemonium!!

Seinfeld Finale: How The Last Scene Could Have Went Instead

The last scene of the finale of Seinfeld ends with Jerry doing a stand-up routine in a prison.  Instead of that, it could have gone something like this.



After the commercial, we're back with the four in the holding cell: 



Elaine: I can't believe we're going to the big house... 

George: It's big..I wouldn't call it a house....Oh, my god, I'm too vulnerable and pretty to be in jail. 

Elaine: You'd better suck it up, pretty boy! (she makes a sucking sound with her lips)

Jerry looks at Kramer, who's lost in thought and looks like he's had a epiphany. 

Jerry: Kramer, what's up? Hellooo! 

We're now back at Monks, to the scene where they've decided to go to Paris. 



Jerry: Yo, Earth to Kramer!! 

Kramer shakes his head.
 

Kramer: Hey, where am I? 

George: You're at the coffee shop. Where'd you go? 

Elaine: Yeah, it's like you zoned out for a while. 

Kramer: Uh, I don't know. I just had some kind of vision. 

Jerry: That would be a first. Anyway, we're flying to Paris!!! 

George and Elaine cheer. Kramer looks stunned. 

Kramer: Fly to Paris?? We can't do that. We'll have a mishap and be forced to land and be put on trial and have our terrible lives exposed. I can't let that happen!! I have to change my miserable ways!!! 

He lets out a yelp and runs out of the cafe. 


Elaine: My God, what happened to him? 

George: I've never seen him act that way, even for Kramer. 

Jerry (starts to get up): Poor guy, we'd better go after him. 

Elaine and George also start to get up, then the waitress comes with their food. 

Waitress: Here's your order. 

The three sit back down, instantly forgetting about Kramer. 

Seinfeld: It's about time. 

Elaine: Yeah, I'm starved. 

Waitress: Is your friend coming back? 



George: Probably not. Here, I'll take his dish. I'm starving. 

The three start to chow down.
