I laughed SO hard the first time I saw this.

And I was probably about 19 years old.
Planes, Trains, & Automobiles isn’t my favorite John Hughes movie (that would be Uncle Buck), but he knew how to get the best out of John Candy. You don’t need to know anything about the plot in this movie in order to appreciate this scene. Trust me.
And because it’s unfair to even MENTION Uncle Buck and not SHOW you some of it, here’s the greatest scene of any movie of all time. My brother and I still have NO IDEA why the schoolteacher yells “BLASPHEMER!” You’ll see what I mean. Also, when Buck pulls his Cadillac right up to the front door of the school, and that MUSIC starts playing ahahah, I always think of Joey Hyndman hahahahaha. This is for you Joe.

How did John Candy get both his feet on that break pedal?!? Great clips. KUTGW (Keep Up The Good Work)

Yeah ahahahh I’ve always wondered the same thing. It must be one of two things. Either:
a. Those aren’t his real feet.
b. That’s a HUGE brake pedal hahahaha

I think teach calls her a blasphemer cause she said a swear!
i had no idea of an un-lame way to say that.
i think my favorite part of the whole movie is when miles(?) is waiting in front of the door for chanice and for some reason there’s a picture of a mariachi band in the mail slot. what?!

Yeah, but his reaction is so out of place. If they were in a catholic school maybe I could see that. Heck, maybe they are.
I love that part when he sees those three guys. Obviously they’re playing on how exaggerated a child’s fear can be. I mean, just the other night I imagined a troll woman hanging out in my kitchen.
I’m no kid, but it freaked me out. She was wandering around like she was lost or something. It was 3am. I’m not proud.

I’d ask for a new post, but every time I check I have to watch these clips….and I’m running out of underwear.

P.S. Answer is B. It IS a huge break pedal.

“Liverpool meanwhile, were nullified. It’s no secret that if Gerrard and Torres are kept quiet, they have very little goalthreat from elsewhere, and tonight, for the most part, they were as quiet as a mute mouse sucking on an everlasting gobstopper in a monastery.”
What!?!?!?!
