Will Ferrell and Adam McKay are most famous for giving us one of the well-nigh iconic and quotable comedy movies ever fabricated, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Merely four years later, they fabricated some other movie that is just every bit quotable – if not more – and while Step Brothers wasn't ostensibly every bit successful as Anchorman, information technology has gained a huge cult post-obit in the decade or so since its release.

There's often been talk of a sequel, but nothing concrete has come through and it remains a mere possibility. So, in the meantime, hither are the 10 Funniest Quotes From Stride Brothers.

Updated on May 1st, 2020: Always since Footstep Brothers hit theaters, there have been rumors about a sequel. Adam McKay and Volition Ferrell manifestly have a story for the sequel that they're happy with, simply information technology's taking a while to come together. With McKay shifting into dramatic piece of work and the duo breaking up their production partnership, a Footstep Brothers sequel seems less likely than ever. But the original is still a timeless classic, so we've updated this list with a few more than entries.

15 On James Joyce

"Brennan, I thought you were incredibly brave. And I mean that in strictly the virtually clinical and professional sense possible, with no emotional, intimate, sexual, or any other undertones that you could possibly infer." "God, you're gonna make me weep. What verse form is that from? Is that James Joyce?"

When Brennan's therapist comes to the Catalina Wine Mixer, purely because he threatened to impale himself if she didn't, he mistakenly takes information technology as a romantic gesture. Even though she explains her intentions in very clear terms, he only thinks she'southward quoting a famous poet.

14 On Humor

"That'southward so funny, the last time I heard that I laughed so hard I fell off my dinosaur."

When Brennan and Dale first run into, they're instantly contentious with 1 another. Brennan barbs Dale for singing most his junk, suggesting he only drank his first beer, so Dale snaps dorsum with a line almost how sometime his joke is.

13 On Watching Cops

"Why are y'all so sweaty?" "I was watching Cops."

Right before Dale finds a bit in one of his drumsticks and launches into a tirade against Brennan, he finds him lying on the burrow, drenched in sweat, watching Tv set. He's sweaty from playing Dale's drums, but he's forbidden from touching them, and so he has to make up a lie.

When Dale asks Brennan why he's sweating so much, he tells him he's been watching the reality series Cops, which is supposedly and then intense that it made him break into a sweat (although Dale's onto the prevarication, because he knows that Cops doesn't get-go 'til four).

12 On Alice'due south Singing Abilities

"Flat. It's and then flat, I can't even...I don't even know. You lot don't even look adept while you're singing. The worst thing I've always heard. This is twelve hundred dollars a week for voice lessons, and this is what I go? Okay, I'chiliad gonna save information technology with the solo..."

The introduction of Derek and his family in Footstep Brothers is hilarious. Derek forces his wife and kids to sing Guns 'n' Roses' "Sweet Child o' Mine" in the car, and while his kids are into information technology, his wife looks like she'd rather be anywhere else. And it doesn't aid that when she's singing, Derek is constantly criticizing her pitch.

11 On Ruining Stories...And Possibly Evenings

"Listen, gang, don't be mad at Dale for ruining the story...and peradventure the evening."

Brennan doesn't fifty-fifty stay in the firm when Derek comes over for dinner. Dale does, but he learns soon plenty what a jerk Brennan'due south biological brother is.

ten On introductions

"I'grand Brennan." "I'm Dale, but you lot take to call me Dragon." "You have to telephone call me Nighthawk."

You tin can tell these guys like '80s cop shows and Jean-Claude Van Damme movies from the offset based on their chosen monikers. They demand to be called these nicknames (which they're pretty much never called again) right earlier the title of the moving picture appears betwixt them on-screen.

This is an important moment in the pic, because it's the starting time meeting of the fundamental duo. At first, they hate each other, just they'll somewhen grow to love each other. That'southward sort of foreshadowed here by how much they have in common.

ix On becoming friends

"Listen, I know that we started out as foe. But after that courageous act that yous showed me against the i they telephone call Derek, maybe someday we could become friends. Friends who ride majestic, translucent steeds, shooting flaming arrows across the span of Hemdale." "I would follow you lot into the mists of Avalon, if that'due south what y'all hateful."

At the start of Step Brothers, Dale and Brennan detest each other. But then they discover a common enemy in Derek, Brennan's brother who wants to sell their parents' house and kicking them out. Every bit presently as Dale punches Derek in the face, they're the best of friends.

eight On stepfathers

"Robert improve not get in my face...'cause I'll drop that motherf**ker!"

It's not piece of cake to have to get to know a new stepparent. Information technology would be great if everyone could get along and it could be a seamless transition from the former situation into the new state of affairs, but it's tough.

Of course, information technology should be a little easier than Brennan makes it, since he's twoscore years one-time, but his childish response to the situation is what makes the joke of the picture work so well. He expects a serial of fights to happen between him and Robert to decide who's the alpha male person.

7 On boats 'n' hoes

"Boats 'northward' hoes, boats 'n' hoes / I gotta have me my boats and hoes."

When Brennan and Dale neglect to get hired at any of their joint job interviews, they decide to give upward on their pursuit of employment and exit on their own to get-go a multinational entertainment company called Prestige Worldwide. Their kickoff clients are Huff 'due north' Doback, their own hip hop duo, whose debut rails is "Boats 'n' Hoes."

six On beingness a dinosaur

"When I was a kid...I wanted to exist a Tyrannosaurus Rex more than anything in the world. I made my arms brusque and I roamed the lawn, I chased the neighborhood cats, I growled and I roared. Everybody knew me and was afraid of me. And one 24-hour interval, my dad said, 'Bobby, you're 17. It's time to throw kittenish things aside,' and I said, 'Okay, Pop.' But he didn't actually say that, he said, 'Stop beingness a f**king dinosaur and get a task.'"

Richard Jenkins doesn't become many funny lines in Footstep Brothers. Rather, the humor of Robert's grapheme comes from his reactions to Dale and Brennan's antics. But this monologue is hysterical.

5 On being a prisoner

"This house is a f**rex prison!" "On Planet Bulls**t!" "In the milky way of This Sucks Camel D**ks!"

Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly play Brennan and Dale as the most ungrateful pair of children who ever lived. They're forty years former and still get handed everything by their parents, and all the same they're however not happy.

They claim to be prisoners, just because they were grounded and lost their TV privileges for a week afterwards destroying one-half the house in a "savage fight" that attracted the entire neighborhood'due south attending. What'south great virtually this line is that it takes things a few steps farther, possibly with improvisation from the actors.

4 On reputations

"I've been called the songbird of my generation."

Will Ferrell sings in a lot of his movies. In The Other Guys, he sings that depressing vocal well-nigh children getting pinkeye and having their Harry Potter books burned with those guys at the bar. In Elf, he sang a duet with Zooey Deschanel while she was in the shower (and didn't know he was in that location).

And in Step Brothers, he sings "Por Ti Volaré" like a 18-carat opera vocaliser, with backing drums performed by John C. Reilly. His phonation does sound like a combination of Fergie and Jesus, to be fair.

iii On threats

"You're embarrassing yourself, yous geriatric f**k! Two things: You keep your liver-spotted hands off my beautiful mother. She's a saint! So yous sit down and you write Dale and Brennan a check for $10,000. Or I'm gonna shove one of those faux hearing devices so far up your a**, you tin can hear the sound of your small intestine as it produces s**t!"

Brennan and Dale expect to premiere their "Boats 'n' Hoes" video to glowing reviews from anybody at Derek'south altogether dinner, followed by anybody getting out their checkbooks to invest. When that doesn't happen, Brennan gets a little testy towards Robert.

2 On Shark Week

"Dad, what are y'all doing? It'south Shark Week!"

Footstep Brothers was conceived later director Adam McKay saw the hilarious chemistry between Volition Ferrell and John C. Reilly in his previous motion picture, Talladega Nights: The Carol of Ricky Bobby. And so, he came upwardly with a weird, piffling, absurdist comedy nigh a pair of 40-year-old men who notwithstanding alive with their parents, and have to alive with each other when their parents get married.

While Ferrell is predominantly a comedy guy and Reilly is better known as a dramatic actor, the latter holds his ain comedically and has only as many memorable lines and scenes as Ferrell.

i On living in a house of learned doctors

"You lot and your mom are hillbillies. This is a house of learned doctors." "You lot're not a medico. You're a big, fatty, curly-headed f**m!"

The whole sleeping accommodation scene on Brennan'south first night in the new firm is full of memorable quotes. Every bit it devolves, they start talking well-nigh what they're going to practise when the other one falls asleep ("I'm gonna make full a pillowcase full of bars of soap and crush the due south**t out of y'all!"). But information technology's Dale'southward delusional declaration that he's a "learned physician" and Brennan is a "hillbilly" that takes the prize for most memorable quote in the scene.
