The combination of Michael Bay's recently released movie, The Island, and the recent reminder of one of the worst movies of all time (starring Ben Affleck) brought to mind this gem of a song from Team America:

Pearl Harbor
I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark
when he made Pearl Harbor.

I miss you more than that movie missed the point
and that's a lot girl. And now, now you've gone away
and all I'm trying to say is Pearl Harbor sucked
and I miss you.

I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school.
He was terrible in that film.
I need you more than Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part.
He's way better than Ben Affleck and now,
all I'm trying to say is Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you.

Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies.
I guess Pearl Harbor sucked just a little bit more than
I miss you.

And of course, that brought to mind my favourite bits of the show. There're so many but the ones that came up first, thanks to Wikiquote, are:

This, because it's so guai lan.
Gary Johnston: A flying limo? Now I've seen everything.
Spottswoode: Really? Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
Gary Johnston: No.
Spottswoode: So you haven't seen everything.

This, because it's so melodramatic.
Gary Johnston: I was just a boy when the infidels came in their Blackhawk helicopters. The infidels fired at the oil fields and they lit up like the eyes of Allah. Burning oil rained down from the sky and cooked everything it touched. I could only hide myself and cry as my goats were consumed by the fiery black liquid death. In the midst of the chaos, I could swear that I heard my goats screaming for help. As quickly as they had come, the infidels were gone. It was on that day I put a jihad on them. And if you don't believe it, you'd better kill me now cause I'll put a jihad on you.

This, because it's just so stupid.
Spottswoode: Gary, this is a dangerous mission. If you happen to get found out and they capture you, you may want to take your own life. Here take this. (hands Gary a battered hammer)
