Top 5: Funniest Movie Moments: Ice Cube & Charlie Day

The premise for Fist Fight sounds like something you'd produce in the eighties featuring a scrawny nerd against a bully. In fact it actually is a loose remake of 1987's 3'O Clock High. It's an undoubtedly familiar trope that only really got my attention due to the new spin: this time around it's two teachers played by Ice Cube and Charlie Day with an R-rating. So in honor of the duo's upcoming fisticuffs, I've picked five of their funniest movie moments.

#5 Young Blood in Lottery Ticket

For most of his movies, Ice Cube plays the straight man to an energetic partner mugging for the camera and reacting as necessary. In Lottery Ticket he gets to go gloriously against type as wise, though presumably full of it, former boxer named Mr. Washington. After witnessing the well-intentioned Kevin Carson (Bow Wow) get his ass handed to him by a local gang leader, Washington steps in to defend the young man and delivers a haymaker for the ages with a one liner to match.

#4 "SPACESHIP" from The Lego Movie

For most of The Lego Movie's run time, Charlie Day's Master Builder Benny has been itching to build a vehicle that matches his astronaut attire. Sadly, the suggestion has also been rejected every single time...until now. Finally given the green light, Benny is unable to contain his joy and constructs a "SPACESHIP!" that plows through hoardes of enemy vehicles as Benny repeats his cathartic battle cry over and over again.

#3 "Bye Felicia" from Friday

In a moment that's more iconic now for its persistent use in pop culture than anything else. The dismissive line in question comes after Felicia attempts to get keys and a joint off of Smokey (Chris Tucker) and Craig (Ice Cube). Having pleaded her case and getting reamed by Smokey, Felicia turns to Craig for support. His response is dismissive perfection.

#2 Parents' Weekend from 22 Jump Street

Jump Street's stereotypically angry captain lives up to the hype when he comes to visit his daughter's college for parents weekend. Why? Well as it turns out, the girl Schmidt (Jonah Hill) had bragged about sleeping with was Capt. Dickson's daughter. Unable to attack Schmidt for fear of breaking his cover, Cube begins to have a breakdown at the buffet slamming food down on his plate one fistfull at a time.

#1 Banter from Horrible Bosses

While the idea of getting revenge or killing your boss from hell is this film's main gimmick, the hook of the film is the ongoing banter between our bumbling trio played by Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, and Jason Bateman. In scenes that were likely improvised, the three each lean heavy into their typecast, (Bateman as the deadpan, Sudeikis as the smooth talking idiot, and Day as the wildcard,) and make simple actions like doing recon or even sharing their daily struggles hilarious stuff,
