Despite being a horror movie, there are quite a few gut-busting moments to be found here.
- Dave, struggling with writer's block, decides to demo some new riffs he's been working on. However, his bandmates point out that they're from songs he's already written.Pat: So... "All My Life?"Taylor: Dude, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait. That- That's a great fuckin' song. It's called "Everlong," and you wrote it about twenty years ago.
- "FUCK MEDITATING IN THE ASS, RAMI!"
- Lionel Richie: "We all have writer's block, you know? But that's my fucking song."
- Right before Dave's first nightmare:Dave: (just got woken up) Taylor? Sleep in your own bed.
- Pat's habit of sleeping in the kitchen.
- This exchange right before Chris is brutally murdered:Nate: Hey Shifty! Need a beer or anything?Chris: Yeah! To shove up Dave's fucking ass!Nate: (casual thumbs-up)
- Rami trying to dispel the tension after Chris leaves:Rami: We should get Dave one of those magnet bracelets. His energy's way offTaylor: (shakes head)
- This exchange:Pat: I was back here eating chips!
Taylor: (rolling eyes) Big surprise. - This exchange:Rami: It's a code! She's been trying to warn us!
Taylor: You just want to fucking bang her, Rami.
Rami: Yes, I want to bang her. But I also want to not get decapitated! - When they're trying to get Sam's attention:Rami: (making bird noises)Pat: That's you?! I thought we had an infestation of yellow warblers!Rami: That was the wood thrush, genius!
- This moment happens when Sam is explaining the supernatural properties of the Encino mansion the Foos are recording at:Sam: We are standing on a nexus that allows spiritual entities to cross into our world.Taylor: (makes ghost noises)Sam: Can it, drummer boy.
- This bit of Mood Whiplash after Sam tells the remaining Foos about the house's history:Taylor: You guys were ghost fuckers?
- Pat when Nate suggests calling the cops. "Oh my God, that's such a good idea! "Hi! Dave Grohl's been possessed by the spirit of Greg Nole! Now he's on a murderous rampage!" Best idea I've heard since "Hey! Let's move into this house!"
- Rami's incredibly questionable decision to not only have sex in a horror movie, but also to wear a leopard-print thong AND shave his chest hair in the shape of a heart. (If anyone cares, Rami was around 49/50 during production)
- Before doing the deed, Rami decides to put some music on the stereo to set the mood - it's "The Lumberjack" by Jackyl, which famously features a chainsaw solo... so the song unintentionally becomes a Cacophony Cover Up for the sound of an actual chainsaw being used as a murder weapon.
- The entire sequence where Nate and Pat are finding out the signs of demonic possession.
- The first of these is digestive system failure, and Dave has the most casual reaction to projectile vomiting ever.
Dave: No more oatmeal beer bongs for Davey!- The second is floating, with Dave casually gliding in a corridor.
- The third is incessant masturbation.
Pat: Dave! What are you doing in there?! Sounds like you're playing patty cake! With a soft chicken dumpling!- Even funnier is that Dave already did this, causing Nate and Pat to almost disqualify him. Until they read that sign number four is an insatiable hunger for meat (human flesh in particular).
