i love your sleeve…
Talk about unique pickup line. This person took the cake, perfectly showing Napoleon’s clumsiness while also showing his kind heart. He really means compliments when he says it in the movie, but he can only pull together a comment that literally describes the outfit.
It works, doesn’t it? I mean, if a woman’s shirt or skirt has nice sleeves, it should also have nice sleeves. There’s nothing wrong with pointing out the obvious and trying to take it as flattery.
Things are getting serious…
The recollections of Kip, Napoleon’s brother, and his feelings about his relationship with “girlfriend” LaFawnduh are perfect, showing that the simplest gesture, perhaps even very trivial, must be means a relationship is being raised to a new level. level.
What’s especially hilarious is that in the movie, Kip is just talking to LaFawnduh online when he says this. They have never met. However, he believes their relationship is serious because they chat online for hours every day. Think about this movie before Facebook and social media exploded.
Vote for pedro
Say those three words and anyone who’s seen the movie knows what you’re talking about. The main plot of the story is that Pedro is running for class president, and he and his friends repeatedly urge their classmates to “vote for Pedro” while handing out flyers and badges. Regardless of your political leanings, Pedro is always the best.
eat your heart
Uncle Rico swore he could make it to the NFL, so this hilarious meme means a lot to anyone who remembers him ever mentioning how great of a football player he was. when I was young. Sorry, Uncle Rico.
lucky!
It’s all about word variation: when you raise your voice an octave or so and say “luck-ee!”, you have to emphasize the second half of the word.
This is one of Napoleon’s favorite comments, often made when something is mentioned that he considers favorable. This is the perfect meme to send to friends to express innocent envy because they had a day off, received a great gift, or snatched the last potato from a restaurant.
Don’t touch my baby!
At lunchtime, if it was a sandwich, Napoleon could eat it or not. Cup of pudding? potato salad? French fries? Um. But don’t mess with the men’s mashed potatoes.
They’re great for lunch or even tucked in your pocket for later. This meme says give me something small – or any food I want – or walk away. But not very well.
awkward debate
Sure, Deb is clumsy, but super cute and equally as social as Napoleon. The ponytail over there? That’s everything. But, she was still a shy, oddly dressed girl who didn’t attract much attention in high school.

God!
napoleon dynamite It’s really just an hour and a half of awkward dialogue, no eye contact, and lots of quotes. Two other words that Napoleon liked to express his feelings, usually anger, annoyance, and frustration, were “Idiot!” and “God!”
As noted in this meme, the word “Gooosh” was introduced to really let you know that he just wanted to be alone in his room and practice dancing. Can’t learn some hip hop? It’s a great way to show how apathetic teenagers can be.
do not be jealous
As mentioned earlier, Kip spends the day at home chatting with his girlfriend, LaFawnduh, whom he eventually meets and falls madly in love with. But this meme is an appeal to anyone who has ever sat behind a computer screen chatting with someone they don’t really know and developing a “real relationship”.
Are they all “babe”? Sure is not. They may not even be what you think they are. Curiously, the movie came out before social media took over and catfish became part of everyday lingo. Fortunately, Kip met the woman of his dreams. So maybe his story gives hope to others that they can enjoy the same luck in love as he did.
sorry i can dance
Anyone who’s seen the movie and heard the 90s Jamiroquai song “Canned Heat” will want to jump right in, or at least imagine the film’s most iconic scene.
In the film, Napoleon takes the stage at school and ends up showing off everything he’s learned from the VHS “How to Hip-Hop” that he uses in his room every night to practice. The action and acting are horrible but you can’t help but take your eyes off it. Hey, his gyroscope has finally been picked up, so it’s all worth it.
