If you want to know where the joke for this one came from, comment. It's too much to essplain on here.

#6: D.W. Griffith's Follow-Up to Birth of a Nation:

"Hahaha. Yeah, guys, I was just kidding with that whole KKK thing. I mean, come on, the studio made me change my ending! Originally there was a big black and white rainbow and lots of hugs. And everyone got along. So really, Intolerance is my response to that awful, awful racism that is just so not me. I mean, you guys get that! I mean Intolerance is what made the Jews Bad Guys kill Jesus, and what made those ugly women prohibitionists go all crazy and steal babies! That actually happens! Babylon! The Medici Family! CRADLE ENDLESSLY ROCKING PLEASE DON'T LET THIS RUIN MY CAREER!"














Hint: it ruined his career. The film was so over-financed and expensive that, even if it was relatively popular, it still hardly made enough to get Griffith out of that barrel he had to wear. A barrel that said "definitely racist" on it in big red letters.

#5: The Marx Brothers

We watched Duck Soup in my film class, and it was kind of terrible.

#4: Salvador Dali is Curious

Ya rly.

Side note: Can you imagine Salvador Dali as a mustache-free, slightly curious but modest fellow who dabbled in art a few times but really just liked to watch birds with his friends, and try to invent his own flavors of tea with the flowers and plants that he grew in his small, homemade greenhouse? Watching HDTV and Myth Busters, sending Christmas Cards three weeks early just to make sure that you get them, and never ever hating women. Letting himself go bald and wearing Eddie Bauer. Dali: the friendly neighborhood years.
