Super Troopers

Super Troopers

The fine art of handing out a freeway speeding ticket gets a deviously funny twist in this smart-alecky farce written and performed by the comedy troop Broken Lizard (consisting of Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske). These pranksters in patrol cars (led by their long-suffering commander Brian Cox) are little more than overgrown frat boys in a campus rivalry with the brawling Vermont bullies of the local police force, and they know how to have fun on the highway patrol. This skit-like collection of comic moments clumps from one scene to another like a variety show, but the gags are more hit than miss, thanks largely to terrific ensemble work and inspired motorist mind games. With a nod to such 1970s comedies as Animal House and Caddyshack, this "boys in blue just wanna have fun" farce is hardly sophisticated, just clever, raucous fun. --Sean Axmaker

Altered State Police
It's their highway. You're just driving on it.
You don't mess with the law. The law messes with you.

O'Hagen:
Farva. Forgot the coffee.

Farva:
My bad, Cap.

O'Hagen:
All right, all right; let's get started. I got the latest sh*t list, gentlemen. It's down to Flagstone, Deer Lick, and us. And you can bet your sweet butts if we keep up these low numbers, we're gonna get the big, ugly axe.

Mac:
Who'll bust heads on the highway?

O'Hagen:
The goddamn local cops, that's who! And you better believe that Grady and his goons have got a copy of this list, so we need to step it up.

Farva:
Who wants cream? Nobody? Okay, no cream.

O'Hagen:
Foster, how many tickets did you issue last week?

Foster:
Uh, I don't have my figures here in front of me...

O'Hagen:
Three.

Foster:
Can't make 'em speed.

O'Hagen:
Try hiding.

Thorny:
And grow a goddamn mustache, would ya?

Foster:
Hey, I haven't shaved in two weeks! I swear!

Farva:
Coffee served! No, no, that one's for Rabbit!

Rabbit:
Oh look, a bar of soap.

Farva:
Oh ho ho, Sh*t I got you good you f***er!

Mac:
: [With mocking voice and fake lisp] Awesome prank Farva.

Farva:
It's better than the sh*t you pull, Mac!

O'Hagen:
Look, guys... every Thursday night I come in here, to play cards, and they always have my favorite game on the table. I like that. I like it here. [Sees the troopers ignoring him] Oh, hell, give me the Goddamn soap! [Grabs the bar of soap Farva placed in Rabbit's coffee cup, bites off a chunk of it and spits it out] We got fifty miles of highway here! That stretch of highway is ours, and I'll be damned if we're gonna let Grady and those buttheads get their hands on it! Thorny, you're the ranking officer here. Let's do our jobs and keep this place open, huh?! Let's do it! Farva! Your suspension continues. Hit the radio!

[Foster and Mac have pulled a man over for speeding and are deciding what game to play]

Mac:
All right, how about "Cat Game?"

Foster:
Cat Game? What's the record?

Mac:
Thorny did six, but I think you can do ten.

Foster:
Ten? Starting right 'meow?'

[Mac laughs - they walk up to the car, and Foster taps on the driver side]

Larry Johnson:
Sorry about the...

Foster:
All right meow. Hand over your license and registration.

[the man hands him his license]

Foster:
Your registration? Hurry up meow.

[Mac ticks off two fingers]

Larry Johnson:
Sorry.

[the man laughs a little]

Foster:
Is there something funny here boy?

Larry Johnson:
Oh, no.

Foster:
Then why you laughing, Mister... Larry Johnson?

[pause]

Foster:
All right meow, where were we?

Larry Johnson:
Excuse me, are you saying meow?

Foster:
Am I saying meow?

[Mac puts his hands up for the fourth one, but makes an "eehhh" facial expression, as he is considering the last one]

Larry Johnson:
I thought...

Foster:
Don't think boy. Meow, do you know how fast you were going?

[man laughs]

Foster:
Meow what is so damn funny?

Larry Johnson:
I could have sworn you said meow.

Foster:
Do I look like a cat to you, boy? Am I jumpin' around all nimbly bimbly from tree to tree?

[Mac is gut-busting laughing]

Foster:
Am I drinking milk from a saucer?

[feigned anger]

Foster:
Do you see me eating mice?

Foster:
[Mac and the man are laughing their heads off now] You stop laughing right meow!

Larry Johnson:
[Stops and swallows hard] Yes sir.

Foster:
Meow, I'm gonna have to give you a ticket on this one. No buts meow. It's the law.

[rips off the ticket and hands it to the man]

Foster:
Not so funny meow, is it?

Foster:
[Foster gets up to leave, but Mac shakes his hands at him, indicating only nine meows] Meow!
