reno 911 the movie

I’ve been a fan of the TV show, Reno 911, since it started on Comedy Central. I initially was attracted to the show for one reason - Lt. Jim Dangle, as played by Thomas Lennon. You see, I’ve been a fan of Thomas Lennon since he was on an MTV show in the 90’s called “The State”, with people like Kerri Kenney, Ben Garant, David Wain and Michael Ian Black. (Kerri Kenney is on Reno 911 as Deputy Trudy Wiegel, and Ben Garant plays Deputy Travis Junior.) Anyway, when I saw that he’d be on Reno 911, I started watching.

You can only imagine how excited I was when I heard Reno 911 was being made into a movie! Deputy Travis Junior…err, Ben Garant directed Reno 911! Miami The Movie, and he and Thomas Lennon wrote the script. And it is pure comedy people. I love fart jokes and potty humor, but most of all, I love these characters. Jim Dangle, as played by Thomas Lennon, was my favorite. Where else can you find a copy who wears short shorts? And the fact that he’s in charge of the group called in to help after a terrorist attack? Lord, help us if that’s ever the case. Reno 911! Miami The Movie is 2 hours of laughing so hard your sides hurt. Here’s a clip of why Dangle is my favorite - he’s so damn serious! He leads this ragtag crew, and he wants to be a great leader, but, well, he just isn’t. I can’t explain it! But his legs are FAB!

   Wow. I thought I was the only one who remembered “The State”. It’s still the funniest sketch comedy that I have ever seen.
