Pluto Nash may suck as a movie, but this joke where Eddie Murphy is fighting himself is pretty great. https://t.co/Izf1qOc2bc pic.twitter.com/uE6R6oGGee

The misdirect. Where you think you know where the scene is going and they do something you would never expect. Like in UHF, when the guy is told by his boss to take that ridiculous thing off (he wears a big goofy hat) but instead, he removes his mustache. https://t.co/wVLhe6AGnX pic.twitter.com/HOELPRo4HQ
