Maybe a second viewing when it's still 1985 and you're still on dope and in high school, but today, in 2009? You couldn't pay me to watch it. I'll quote it from memory, but I'll never want to watch it again. So it's in the same category as Clerks -- quotable doesn't equal funniest.
A good test is, would I pay $30 to get it on Blu-Ray? Many things on people's list, the answer is yes, but not Elf, not Clerks, not Better Off Dead.

I remember Clerks as a funny movie and I have watched it more than twice. Then again, I like exchanges like "My girlfriend sucked 37 cocks!" "Dude -- in a row?"
I don't have a Blu-Ray player and I wouldn't spend $30 on Clerks if I did, but that's more because I don't see the point in buying movies anymore, with Netflix and now Netflix OnDemand so easy and cheap. I do have a Clerks DVD from some time ago, can't remember what it cost.
Apparently, I don't exist, at least in your opinion.
