Home Alone is a Christmas classic and has many iconic scenes. From the fake gangster movie to Kevin McCallister's sadistic traps for the burglars, it is a fun holiday film that will get you in the spirit.
While Home Alone 2: Lost in New York isn't quite as good as its predecessor, there are still plenty of moments that make this sequel stand out. The addition of cast members such as Tim Curry and Rob Schneider creates some hilarious moments that deserve to be remembered. Here are the 10 funniest quotes from Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
10 "Kevin's Not Here"
While the quote itself is not actually funny, it's the comedic timing and the nonchalant delivery that makes this line funny. After getting off the plane, Kevin's family slowly begins to realize he's not there after they tried to pass him his bag and noticed he is missing. Even his mother says it at first without realizing it.
Kevin's dad is the only person who recognizes the severity of the situation. The audience is then given another great "KEVIN!" shriek from Catherine O'Hara. This quote uses comedic timing and delivery to perfect effect.
9 "I Believe You.....But My Tommy Gun Don't"
One of the highlights of the first Home Alone was "Angels with Filthy Souls," a fake gangster movie with incredibly convenient dialogue. In the sequel, there is another fake gangster movie featuring the same over-the-top gangster from the first film. This line is perfectly timed to scare the hotel staff who are trying to apprehend Kevin. It's a hilariously corny line that is boosted by the reactions from the hotel staff who believe it's real. It's a shock Arnold Schwarzenegger hasn't said this exact line in any of his action movies.
8 "Don't Gimme That. You've Been Smooching With Everybody"
This line catches the hotel staff completely off guard. When they barge into Kevin's room, the fake gangster movie has a scene where one of the characters is accusing another of cheating on him. However, the hotel clerk played by Tim Curry believes he is being accused of smooching with many people including Snuffy, Al, Leo, Little Moe with the gimpy leg, Cheeks, Bony Bob, and Cliff. It's even funnier when Cliff turns out to be the names of one of the hotel employees, causing mass confusion.
7 "Beat That, You Little Trout Sniffer"
Buzz is constantly bullying Kevin and getting away with it. After pulling his prank on Kevin at the Christmas choir concert, he delivers an apology to his family that shows his talents as an actor. Then, he whispers to Kevin this killer insult. It isn't clear what a trout sniffer is but it certainly is original. It seems to be someone who sniffs fish is insulting in this family. Buzz is an annoying sibling that many people have to deal with, but it's doubtful any sibling has ever heard this insult.
6 "Get Outta Here You Nosy Little Pervert, Or I'm Gonna Slap You Silly"
This quote isn't funny in its initial scene. Kevin is recording his uncle singing in the shower and his uncle understandably shouts this quote at him. However, it's the second time this quote appears that's hilarious. When the hotel clerk played by Curry begins to peep around in Kevin's room, Kevin plays this recording of his uncle to scare the clerk out of the room. It's a funny scenario and shows just how much of a sadistic genius Kevin actually is. Most ten-year-olds are not nearly as crafty as Kevin and the way he reuses the audio shows his craftiness and his sick sense of humor.
5 "There's Nobody Dumb Enough To Knock Off A Toy Store On Christmas Eve." "Oh, Yes There Is."
Marv certainly isn't the smartest out of the two robbers and it shows here. Harry is trying to express that nobody would catch them because nobody would believe anybody would rob a toy store on Christmas Eve. Marv, however, doesn't understand the expression and claims they are both dumb enough to do the deed. Marv and Harry have fantastic chemistry with one another and feel like something out of a Looney Tunes cartoon. Harry sometimes can't believe how dumb Marv is but Marv's stupidity is absolutely hilarious.
4 "Herbert Hoover Once Stayed Here On This Floor." "The Vacuum Guy?" "No, The President."
Most ten-year-olds probably aren't going to know who Herbert Hoover is. In fact, there may be plenty of adults who still don't know who Hoover is. Rob Schneider's bellhop character tells Kevin this interesting tidbit in hopes of impressing him, but Kevin thinks it's the vacuum company. This funny quote shows some childhood innocence and while Kevin is very clever, he may need to become more knowledgeable of American politics.
3 "I Hope Your Parents Got You A Tombstone For Christmas
Harry really hates this kid. Understandable, however, after suffering two nights of terror at the hands of this kid. Harry has made several threats at genuinely killing Kevin but at least this quote has some Christmas joy.
It's doubtful that Kevin's parents got him a tombstone for Christmas, but congrats to Harry for trying to guess the present. Next time, just give Kevin a lump of coal in his stocking instead of a tombstone.
2 "Don't You Know A Kid Always Wins Against Two Idiots?"
Kevin always manages to outsmart Harry and Marv, but Kevin is much more crafty than most ten-year-olds. However, this line really sums up how ridiculous these movies are as Kevin sets up violent, but comical traps for the two burglars. Kevin even manages to outsmart an entire hotel staff, causing them to make fools of themselves. There doesn't seem to be a problem that Kevin can't figure out how to get out of. He even survives in New York City without any parental guidance. Now that is a Christmas miracle.
1 "Two Scoops, Sir?" "Two? Make It Three, I'm Not Driving"
Most parents tell their kids that too much sugar is bad for them and will make them extremely hyper. This funny exchange with a hotel worker shows that Kevin confuses alcohol rules with sugar & ice cream. There are several jokes in this quote. First, Kevin is ten, so he can't drive anyway. Second, ice cream typically doesn't impair your ability to drive unless of course the ice cream is spiked or you eat so much that you slip into a food coma. It's nice to be reminded of how innocent Kevin is before he almost murders two burglars.
