The “Dang it!” moment in Napoleon Dynamite
Napoleon Dynamite is full of classic comedy moments, but there’s one off-the-cuff remark in the movie that really stands out. Kip (Aaron Ruell) places a Tupperware bowl behind the rear tire of his van and back up over it. They planned for the bowl to deform and pop back into shape, but it was utterly destroyed. How could it not, seeing as how a van ran it over?
As he shatters the Tupperware bowl, he lets out a soft “dang it!” to show his disappointment and slight shock. He wasn’t supposed to say anything since the bowl wasn’t supposed to break into a million pieces. He drives away with his shoulders slumped in defeat.
