1. W C Fields.

Priceless.

[femmocrat]

2. The evil dentist in "Marathon Man"--- Ouch!

Played by the great Lawrence Olivier. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon_Man_%28film%29

[Kolesar]

3. Michael Palin did that in "Brazil" eom

[jmowreader]

18. Michael Palin played a torturer, not a dentist

Okay, there's not MUCH of a difference...

[Brigid]

4. You beat me to it.

I wonder how many people cancelled dental appointments after that movie came out.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

14. I've built websites for several dentists...

...and one of the things we always discuss is how to present them in the best possible light, to put potential patients' minds at ease, and invariably, that movie always comes up.

:rofl:

5. I'd have included him but I didn't think it was safe.

:evilgrin:

[TheManInTheMac]

9. "Is it safe?"

Damn that scene makes your blood run cold.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

6. No love for Dr. Waldowski, the "Pride of Hamtramck?"

This is the character who inspired the MASH theme song. Not to mention inspiring Lt. Dish.

[Richardo]

12. "You might say ... he's the best-equipped dentist in the US Army"

"Ooooooooo" :rofl:

[jmowreader]

19. The "Painless Pole" chapter in the book was better than the movie

They had to change it because (1) there was no sex involved in the book and (2) they could have made a full length movie out of the Painless Pole.

[Orrex]

7. I liked Jeffrey Tambor on that episode of Three's Company

But favorite film/tv dentist overall would have to be Olivier.

8. Sheldon S. Kornpett, D.D.S. - The In-Laws

There's redtape in the bush?

[Richardo]

11. "Tremendous red tape - they're protected under the Guacamole Act of 1938"

:rofl:

[riderinthestorm]

17. Serpentine Shel! Serpentine!!! LOL!! One of my favorites. nt

[CBHagman]

29. That would have been my choice too.

"Serpentine!"

:rofl:

[PassingFair]

10. NOVOCAINE!

I love that movie.

I think about it sometimes when it
seems my life is getting WEIRD.

My life is pretty stable compared to
what happens to him.

I like protagonists that are clueless
about their REAL situations until the
veil is ripped off.

Loved HBC in this AND Laura Dern too!

[Ptah]

13. Fred Flintstone

[IcyPeas]

15. monty python

eric idle

Lemming, Lemming ... Lemming of the BD ...Lemming of the BD ... BD, BDAyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

28. Harvey Korman was the Jimmy Fallon of his day

in that neither were able to hold it together when working with funny material.

[pintobean]

[Gidney N Cloyd]

26. oops. dupe

[GomezLives]

22. Stu, the dentist from The Hangover

[nolabear]

23. Jack Weston's character in The Four Seasons.

I can't rememeber his name, which would be just what he'd expect.
