Chevy Chase - Skitsnackets gudfader

Hans karriär gick utför fortare än Brann Dailors trumfills, från att vara en av världens ledande filmkomiker till att vara med i skräp som svenska Hjälp!. Tiden emellan gjordes allt från upplivningsförsök ( Vegas Vacaton), hundjobb (The Karate Dog) och diverse inhopp i serier som inte gjorde någon glad. Chevy kan dock ändå luta sig tillbaka och vara jävligt nöjd, han har trots allt varit kung i filmer som Foul Play, Fletch, Fletch Lives, Caddyshack, Seems like old times, Ett päron till Farsa (en svensk titel slank in), Three Amigos, Funny Farm, Spies Like us och en hyffsad Memoirs of an Invisible Man.
Hans kungliga repliker bestod oftast av spydiga kommentarer och han spelade fumlig i mer eller mindre varenda roll. Man skulle kunna säga att han inte spelade en karaktär, han var bara Chevy Chase. Just därför är det en fröjd att se honom i ovan nämnda filmer, man slipper se honom försöka vara djup och seriös, han glider liksom bara, regerar och levererar dräpande kommentarer.

Seems like old times:
Warren: *Could we use your phone? We're having a bit of car trouble.*
Nick(Chevy
): I'm sorry I don't have a phone.
Warren: That's ok, we don't have a car.
Nick: I'm afraid I don't understand.
Warren: [Pulls out gun] Does this clear it up for you?
Nick: No, I'm afraid not, you see, I'm blind.
[BeeGee and Warren look at each other as Nick tries to close the door on them. They apprehend Nick in the kitchen.]
Nick: It's not a permanent condition. It comes and goes.

Caddyshack:
Ty Webb(Chevv): You're rather attractive for a beautiful girl with a great body.
Lacey Underall: My uncle says you've got a screw loose.
Ty Webb: Your uncle molests collies.

Fletch:
Madeline: I'm sorry, who are you again?
Fletch: I'm Frieda's boss.
Madeline: Who's Frieda?
Fletch: My secretary.

Dr. Joseph Dolan: So where do you know Alan from?
Fletch: We play tennis at the club.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: Really? California Racquet Club?
Fletch: Right.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: That's my club too. I don't remember seeing you there.
Fletch: Well, I haven't been playing in a while because of these kidney pains.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: Right. Now, how long have you had these pains, Mr. Barber?
Fletch: No, that's "Babar".
Dr. Joseph Dolan: Two B's?
Fletch: One B. B-A-B-A-R.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: That's two.
Fletch: Yeah, but not right next to each other. I thought that's what you meant.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: Arnold Babar. Isn't there a children's book about an elephant named Babar?
Fletch: I don't know. I don't have any.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: No children?
Fletch: No elephant books.
