It was really a mistake to try to upstage George Lucas's comic genius. The scene where that Eopie (yes, I had to look up the name of that fuckin' thing) farts in Jar-Jar's face might be the funniest moment ever committed to film. When Binks follows it up with the classic "PEE-YOUSA" line, every comedic scene in cinematic history was basically rendered irrelevant. Just out-and-out hilarity. Anybody who has seen The Phantom Menace is probably still laughing after that one. I know I am.

Don't even get me started about the scene when Jar-Jar steps in shit. Lucas packed more laughs into that 5-second moment than Monty Python could achieve in their entire careers.

Whenever I'm feeling depressed I'll just watch the scene in Episode II where 3PO gets his head switched with the battle droid. When he starts spouting puns I just laugh until the tears are running down my face.
