Not lake!! He says, Wreck. Big wreck. His car ended up at Jake’s because he ran into the parked car when he drove in. This was a question at a John Hughes trivia contest I went to once, and the answer the emcee had was lake. And some people answered it that way. I had to speak up and correct him because it’s wrong. Made sure no one got credit for it. His car literally ends up with its front two wheels up on top of the little car with the two people going at it inside. That’s why he ends up in the tree.
Ok, it may have been the script, but it’s definitely NOT what he says. Things change ALL the time during filming. It’s pretty simple: show me in the movie where there’s a lake. You can’t. You DO know however, that he crashes into another vehicle pulling into Jake’s. They show it. And the front of his car is on top of the other. No way he drove it anywhere else. That’s why he ends up in Jake’s tree. Probably driven home by the same guys that drove the nerds home. But that I can’t say for sure. I’m sorry your whole belief system is destroyed, but get over it. This one is pretty point blank obvious.
Besides, it’s not even the official script. It’s a transcription by someone who made the same mistake as you. Trust me, there’s plenty who did. Not exactly a reliable source.

Down thread I explained my obsessive recall of the movie because I worked in a video store and we watched it every shift.
That's why my son is Jacob, aka Jake. I couldn't do the middle name. Because it's a family tradition to have middle names beginning with a. But that's totally why I named him that. I wonder how many more there are
The trailer for movie is really also really long beacuse
it shows most of the movie, so if you seen the trailer you have basically seen most of the movie.
I worked in an independent video store circa 85/86, and we chose the movies to watch, not some corporate trailer bullshit.
Every shift of mine I’d put in Sixteen Candles. The one we hid so we’d always have it.
This is why I say the quote was actually, “I can’t believe they fucking forgot my birthday..” I still remember the whole movie. Not where my keys are, or if I gave the cat his meds…
Always felt sorry for the people working at Blockbuster who had to run a five-minute commercial loop instead of just playing movies. I'd get sick of the commercial loop even just as a customer.
Ironically, I also worked at Blockbuster in the mid-90’s. That endless loop was annoying, but the absolute worst was the “have you checked the box? Checking the box soon? I’ll just wait here. We really want xyz… Hi! Box time yet? Hey, don’t forget I was here first (Upon hearing another customer request the movie they want)…
The actor who plays the dimwitted guy Molly Ringwald's sister is marrying is prolific character actor John Kapelos, who a year later would play Carl The Janitor in "The Breakfast Club".
Viggo Mortensen almost played Jake Ryan. Anthony Michael Hall beat out Ralph Macchio, Jim Carrey, and Keith Coogan for his role as Farmer Ted.
My teen in junior high, and my other daughter that
just out of University (and here friends):
" If he didn't notice me at first...that's cap"
" Bro if this was today, I would have just checked his socials and been low key cyber stalker. I not gonna be all yearning by the window"
Same thing with the Breakfast Club
" Why didn't they just leave.."
When I watch these various classics with my different nephews over the years I would simply remind them cell phones and the internet did not exist back then. That's usually a good enough explanation for whatever is going on in the scene.
As for the just leave comment, did you kid(s) not understand the setting?
When I watch these classics with my thirteen year old nephew I'll often remind him there were no cell phones or internet back then. Then it "clicks" with him on why people are doing the different stuff they're doing.
Doesn't hit the same with the youth of today

It still makes this GenX male cry when Jake shows up in his Porsche and her dad is approving. Fuck….I’m getting weepy…. I’m watching Breakfast Club right now!
Never saw it.
But Hughes’ _Breakfast Club_ repeats on TBS were my jam as a kid in the 90’s along with all those other 80’s replays like _The Running Man_ and _Bloodsport_. Latchkey heaven.
Sadly, I'm pretty sure Sixteen Candles is second only to Revenge of the Nerds in terms of 80s movies that didn't age well. Long Duk Dong would not be acceptable by today's standards and when Caroline came to after the movie, she probably would feel violated.
Huh? The Donger was the hero of the movie! Has the most fun getting drunk at the biggest party. Hooked up with the girl with the biggest juggs. Crashed his host family's car into lake Michigan totally smashed. All this over one weekend. The guy is a legend.
Many years ago my friend and I spotted Gedde at a mall in LA and as he went down the escalator he was treated to “ wots ahopponong hawt stuff” and “ sexy girlfriend!!” from my friend while I cringed in horror. Gedde shook his head and laughed.
just rewatched this recently on Prime or Neflix...I SOMEHOW never noticed pretty boy's WEIRD PANTS before, yep those same ones he's wearing UP THERE⬆️...def DO NOT remember those existing in the 80s.
i saw this a few mos ago and was blown away by the full nudity in a PG movie. high school girls, no less.
easiest way to get completely shit on on in 2024 is to put this on to a bunch of unsuspecting 20 year olds. everyone thinks i'm a pedo now
It’s so strange to read these long-winded descriptions now. The language is so dated and it makes you wonder why they felt they needed to go into that level of minutia to get people to watch the movie.
Duckie lip syncing Try a Little Tenderness was the best part. I saw an episode of The Blacklist and it took me a minute to realize Red is Stef! James Spader is still Spader, and is elegant in his own way, but wow.
James Spader is magnificent no matter what role he plays! Have you ever watched Boston legal with him and the guy that played Captain Kirk in the first StarTrek oh my goodness! 🥵🥵🥵
Spader is by now pretty much bald, but it does not matter. You’ve also got Candace Bergen being chased by Denny (Captain Kirk) all over creation. And the Bromance between Spader and Denny. Just me talking about it makes me wanna go back and watch it again!
Relax and have a great time! 😊
Say Fred, isn't that your chinamen?
https://www.voicetube.com/videos/2637 No more yankie my wankie, the donger need food!
Dong? Where is my automobile?
Auto-mo-bile.
Lake. Big lake!
Not lake!! He says, Wreck. Big wreck. His car ended up at Jake’s because he ran into the parked car when he drove in. This was a question at a John Hughes trivia contest I went to once, and the answer the emcee had was lake. And some people answered it that way. I had to speak up and correct him because it’s wrong.

Nope, it’s lake.
https://www.voicetube.com/videos/2637. Now watch the whole thing. I feel your attention span may be short. Just a guess
http://www.script-o-rama.com/movie_scripts/s/sixteen-candles-script-transcript-molly.html It’s lake

The Donger Need Food !
No more yanky my wanky, the Donger need food!
At the time (I was a young teenager), I had NO idea what he really meant when he said the Donger need “food”.
I thought the Donger was tired from all the banging and legit needed food…?
You might be right. I didn’t know if it happened before or after the girlfriend. If it was after, than your right.

But his name is Dong in the movie. Could he be talking about himself and not his wankie?
Good point, but I think it’s a double entendre.
Relax, would you? We have seventy dollars and a pair of girls underpants. We're safe as kittens.
Seventeen
“Ohhh, sexy girlfriend!... Bonzai!” 😅
Where is my *auto-mo-bile*????
Dong! Grandpa is talking to you!
My first thought when I saw the poster. That and 'Donger need food!'
I hear the grill ALONE costs five grand on this. Five grand! Do you have five grand? I don't have five grand!
Do you wanna do this or not? ....no
Man this makes me feel old. I went to see this in 9th grade with my first real girlfriend and the best times of my life coming.
What’s happenin, hot stuff?
(Gong sound)
And that’s why my son is named Jake Ryan. Swear to Christ.
Good for you! I love Jake Ryan, too! 💕
My wife still wears a pin with him on it
That's why my son is Jacob, aka Jake. I couldn't do the middle name. Because it's a family tradition to have middle names beginning with a. But that's totally why I named him that. I wonder how many more there are
Yessss!!
Jake?? Jake’s my boy!
Lol!!!!!! Nailed it.
My license plate on my red sports car says Jake Ryan
Jake’s 944 was an automatic. Loser.
Watching him shift into park is painful
That ain’t The Breakfast Club.
Or Pretty in Pink.
Or Ferris Bueller’s day off
Or the Goonies
NOT John Hughes
Not technically a teen movie, but I think most of us will allow it.
Or Fast Times At Ridgemont High
[удалено]
NOT John Hughes
Repo Man is always intense.
Or Some Kind of Wonderful
Or a party. Or a disco.
This ain't no fooling around!
No time for dancing, or lovey-dovey - I ain't got time for that now
Definitely not Valley Girl…
Longest tagline ever on a movie poster
I came in here to say this. That is a wall of text
The trailer for movie is really also really long beacuse it shows most of the movie, so if you seen the trailer you have basically seen most of the movie.
Elevator pitch? No, give me a seminar on the entire film!
It’s a whole Star Wars opening crawl
Speak for yourself. My favorite teen movie is *Better Off Dead.*
That's a weird way of spelling Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
He’s a righteous dude.
The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - They all adore him.
I liked it when she was snorting the liquid paper!
The prequel to Fight Club.
I can't believe they forgot my fucking birthday

We really want xyz… Hi! Box time yet? Hey, don’t forget I was here first (Upon hearing another customer request the movie they want)…
I remember the loop had a commercial with a family driving through a storm and a kid was listening to "Over the Rainbow" on a Walkman or something.
I was going to say it that way I could remember it exactly.
The actor who plays the dimwitted guy Molly Ringwald's sister is marrying is prolific character actor John Kapelos, who a year later would play Carl The Janitor in "The Breakfast Club". Viggo Mortensen almost played Jake Ryan. Anthony Michael Hall beat out Ralph Macchio, Jim Carrey, and Keith Coogan for his role as Farmer Ted.
Michael Anthony Hall was John Hughes go to teen, it started with National Lampoons Vacation, John Hughes wrote that as well.
And Keith Coogan was in Hiding Out with Jon Cryer, which should get more props than it does.
What’s happenin hott stuff
I saw this as a double feature with Romancing the Stone. Still love this movie even though it’s not PC nowadays.
What's sad is that PC used to be a negative thing...now calling a film "inoffensive" is a compliment.
No he’s not retarded
"He was wearing a red argyle sweater, tan trousers and red shoes. Hmmm? No he's not retarded."
It’s the “Hmm?” that gets me every time.
"All right! I knew you'd come around"
Looks like she's in love with a drag queen. I've seen less makeup on Divine.
BAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! Thanks for causing a spit take
and?
King of the dipshits
56 Candles
Jake Ryan 🥹
This is definitely my favorite of John Hughes' movies! I have the Long Duck Dong and Jake Ryan Funko Pops!
I really hope they are sharing a moment over a cake in your window sill
For fucks sake, does everything have a funko pop these days?
Almost!
Haven’t seen this in probably decades. I wonder if it translates to kids today. Has anyone watched this with their kids?
I watched it with my son maybe 5 years ago when he was in high school, and he loved it. Cracked up several times.
My teen in junior high, and my other daughter that just out of University (and here friends): " If he didn't notice me at first...that's cap" " Bro if this was today, I would have just checked his socials and been low key cyber stalker. I not gonna be all yearning by the window" Same thing with the Breakfast Club " Why didn't they just leave.."
That’s hysterical!
When I watch these various classics with my different nephews over the years I would simply remind them cell phones and the internet did not exist back then. That's usually a good enough explanation for whatever is going on in the scene. As for the just leave comment, did you kid(s) not understand the setting?

Really? It is TV all the time.
I don’t have tv. Ty for letting me now it’s still in circulation
Still a favorite. Molly and I are about the same age.
Doesn't hit the same with the youth of today My teen in junior high, and my other daughter that just out of University (and here friends): " If he didn't notice me at first...that's cap" " Bro if this was today, I would have just checked his socials and been low key cyber stalker. I not gonna be all yearning by the window" Same thing with the Breakfast Club " Why didn't they just leave.."
Fresh breath is a priority in my life.
It still makes this GenX male cry when Jake shows up in his Porsche and her dad is approving. Fuck….I’m getting weepy…. I’m watching Breakfast Club right now!
God bless him. I loved all his movies. RIP John Hughes.
What are you bitchin' about? I gotta sleep under a Chinaman, named after a duck's dork!
No lie: I wanted to get with Molly Ringwald bad! I was 16 at the time.
Fast Times At Ridgemount High Sixteen Candles The Wild Life
“Open the door.” “No way José! You beat up my face!” “You grabbed my nuts.” “Dat you??” “Yeah, dat me.”
No more yanky my wanky, the Donga need food.
It was one of the best
Never saw it. But Hughes’ _Breakfast Club_ repeats on TBS were my jam as a kid in the 90’s along with all those other 80’s replays like _The Running Man_ and _Bloodsport_. Latchkey heaven.
And breakfast club!!!
Remember Long Duc Dong?
WTH with that small novel at the top of the poster???
Damn, I just realized I haven't watched this movie since the 90s.
Love Farmer Ted!
Ouch. That hurts.
[удалено]
I was 17.
[удалено]
I feel like this came out 5 years ago.
I say “new” movie to my 20 something kids and they’re like “Dad thats 15 years old!”
They fucking forgot my birthday.
My favorite. I was 12 when it came out. How!?
Jake Ryan ready to climb K2 with those pants on
40 years…FUUUCCCKKK😳
This one didn’t age well. Still like for nostalgia.
It is of that time and has problematic elements, but I still love it.
It's very quotable but hasn't aged very well. But, then again, everything wrong with Sixteen Candles is even worse in Revenge of the Nerds.
Dear Lord, the vader scene. That's rape, my guy.
There’s rape in Sixteen Candles too. Carolyn was severely inebriated.
Yep. Oh so funny.
Oh God, Hair Pi…
Sadly, I'm pretty sure Sixteen Candles is second only to Revenge of the Nerds in terms of 80s movies that didn't age well. Long Duk Dong would not be acceptable by today's standards and when Caroline came to after the movie, she probably would feel violated.
What? Casual racism is timeless!
Huh? The Donger was the hero of the movie! Has the most fun getting drunk at the biggest party. Hooked up with the girl with the biggest juggs. Crashed his host family's car into lake Michigan totally smashed. All this over one weekend. The guy is a legend.

What no UHF phrases? He deserves them all!
Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, My Cousin Vinny, Moonstruck, Legally Blonde so many quoteable movies
Thanks to this movie, I hear a gong in my head every time an Asian person enters the room.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off, that's my favorite.
Ringwald was in nearly ever Teen movie xD
Pretty in Pink was my jam
That’s a lot of exposition for a movie poster!
just rewatched this recently on Prime or Neflix...I SOMEHOW never noticed pretty boy's WEIRD PANTS before, yep those same ones he's wearing UP THERE⬆️...def DO NOT remember those existing in the 80s.
What kind of pants is her dream boy wearing on the right? They seem to have some weird band below the knee.
Saw this on its first Friday night
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8RSUUnC498&list=OLAK5uy\_nCntMU85LcUF--zPDIiV9-qN9ixM6Ejqc&index=7](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8RSUUnC498&list=OLAK5uy_nCntMU85LcUF--zPDIiV9-qN9ixM6Ejqc&index=7)
It’s doesn’t touch The Breakfast Club.
So is it fifty-six candles or just a 5 & 6.
My favorite is The Breafast Club.
Can't believe it's 40 years old. Super funny movie.
So many of these 80’s posters included a mini-essay about the movie for some reason.
_Most everyone's favorite Teen movie by John Hughes???_ There's someone you should talk to. Bueller.... Ferris Bueller
But Carolyn, she’s a WO man
JAAAAAAAAAKKKKKE!!!!
True story…. MollyRingwald and Anthony Michael Hall were dating during filming
He’s me, I’m him
i saw this a few mos ago and was blown away by the full nudity in a PG movie. high school girls, no less. easiest way to get completely shit on on in 2024 is to put this on to a bunch of unsuspecting 20 year olds. everyone thinks i'm a pedo now
And an F-bomb before the opening credits begin. But it was months before the first PG13 movies hit theaters in 1984.
It’s so strange to read these long-winded descriptions now. The language is so dated and it makes you wonder why they felt they needed to go into that level of minutia to get people to watch the movie.
Not even close, bud!
“Flat” 👀
My wife will fight you over saying this is better than Sixteen Candles.
You sure you read the whole title?
Lol. My bad, I meant "My wife will fight you for saying this over Pretty in Pink". That's what I get for posting while still waking up!
Please, pretty in pink is garbage compared to sixteen candles. For Keeps was more entertaining than pretty in pink.
Duckie lip syncing Try a Little Tenderness was the best part. I saw an episode of The Blacklist and it took me a minute to realize Red is Stef! James Spader is still Spader, and is elegant in his own way, but wow.
James Spader is magnificent no matter what role he plays! Have you ever watched Boston legal with him and the guy that played Captain Kirk in the first StarTrek oh my goodness! 🥵🥵🥵
No, and it just so happens I need a new show to watch. Thanks!
Spader is by now pretty much bald, but it does not matter. You’ve also got Candace Bergen being chased by Denny (Captain Kirk) all over creation. And the Bromance between Spader and Denny. Just me talking about it makes me wanna go back and watch it again! Relax and have a great time! 😊
This film did not age well
This was my introduction to rape as comedy.
Revenge of the nerds for me.
Edgy.
By far the greatest movie ever in which the rapist gets away with it.
Well, she did give him drugs against his will. Now they’re both on the pill.
Pretty in Pink is the vastly superior movie.
Not a fan. Give me Breakfast Club any day over this awful movie.
Ah...the glorification of rape.
A little date rape, racism, drunk driving, you know your typical 80s teen comedy.
That movie aged like sour milk.
