Stepbrothers is a 2008 film about two middle-aged men still living with their parents. When this film hit the theatres, it became a fan favorite, and fans started saying the quotes from step brothers are still funny, and these quotes are still as hilarious as when they were first said in the film. Apart from the funny plot, the cast, Will Ferrell (Brennan Huff) and Adam McKay (Dale Doback), did a great job in the film, and the audience believes that this was one of the most iconic roles these two have ever played.
The film is still a fan favorite, and the quotes from step brothers are still funny among the fans. This film is a timeless classic, and here are the 15 quotes from step brothers that are the funniest and would make you laugh till your stomach hurts.
1. On humor
Dale Doback: “That’s so funny; the last time I heard that, I laughed so hard I fell off my dinosaur.”
This was one of the first iconic quotes from the film Dale Doback and Brennan Huff met for the first time, and both of them had an argument. Brennan pointed out Dale for singing his junk, so Dale had a comeback with this line about how old Brennan’s joke was.
2. On being friends
Brennan Huff: “Listen, I know we started out as foes. But after that courageous act that you showed me, against the one they call Derek, maybe someday we could become friends. Friends who ride majestic, translucent steeds, shooting flaming arrows across the bridge of Hemdale.”
Dale Doback: “I would follow you into the mists of Avalon if that’s what you mean.”
The fans of the movie would remember that Dale Doback and Brennan Huff were not the best friends and both of them hated each other, but their hatred was kept aside when they found a common enemy in Derek, he is Brennan’s brother who wants to sell their house and wants to kick them out. But their friendship starts when Dale gives a straight jab at Derek, and Brennan loves it so much that they become best friends.
The phrase ‘who ride majestic translucent steeds shooting flaming arrows across the bridge’ means that the two will stick together through all the ups and downs. Even though the phrase will sound weird to a normal person but a fan would know the essence of these lines.
3. On Watching Cops
Dale Doback: “Why are you so sweaty?”
Brennan Huff: ” I was watching cops.”
This was one of the best lies I have ever heard, and the scene, as well as the dialogue delivery, was so funny that I laughed till my tummy hurt. When Dale found a chip in one of his drumsticks and before he started criticizing Dale, he was lying on the sofa, watching TV, and he was drenched in sweat. He was drenched in sweat because he was playing Dale’s drums, and he was not allowed to go near his drums.
When Dale asked Brennan why he was covered in sweat, he answered that he was watching the reality TV series Cops, which is extremely intense and a thriller so intense that it made him sweat so much.
4. On James Joyce
Denise: “Brennan, I thought you were incredibly brave. And I mean that in strictly the most clinical and professional sense possible with no emotional, intimate, sexual, or any other undertones that you could possibly infer.”
Brennan Huff: “God, you are gonna make me cry. What poem is that from? Is that James Joyce?”
Brennan Huff is madly in love with Denise, his therapist. And things got escalated when Brennan threatened Denise to come to Catalina Wine Mixer, solely because he threatened her that he would commit suicide if she did not come to the location. Poor Brennan mistook this as a romantic gesture by Denise. However, Denise clearly expressed her intentions to Brennan, and he thought that Denise was quoting a line from one of the books of James Joyce, an Irish novelist.
5. On Alice’s Singing
Derek: “Flat. It is so flat; I can’t even… I don’t even know. You don’t even look good while you are singing. The worst thing I’ve ever heard. This is twelve hundred dollars a week for voice lessons, and this is what I get? Okay, I’m gonna save it with the solo.”
The audience was first introduced to Derek, and his family was extremely unorthodox and hilarious. Derek forces his wife and his children to sing “Sweet Child of Mine” by Guns ‘n’ Roses. While his kids are happy to sing the song, his wife seems annoyed, and she wants to be anywhere else. Even though she is singing, Derek is constantly complaining about her pitch and how bad of a singer she is.
This is one of the best step-brothers’ quotes, and it was funny because Derek was criticizing them, not because she was singing poorly. Her pitch was off, but because he was paying twelve hundred every week and his wife singing poorly, makes him sad because his money was being wasted.
6. On Ruining Stories and Evenings
Derek: “Listen, gang, don’t be mad at Dale for ruining the story and possibly the evening.”
The audience is introduced to Derek, and they realize that he is a jerk. This is the reason Brennan Huff did not even bother to stay in the house when Derek came over for dinner. But Dale Doback stayed in for the dinner, and soon he realized how big of a jerk Derek can be.
7. About Dale
Dale Doback: “I work at a college as a janitor even though I feel like I’m smarter than most of the people who go there. Sometimes, I see an equation written on a blackboard like half an equation and… I just figured it out.”
When Dale Doback went to the therapist, he asked Dale to introduce himself before the therapy could begin. Dale started telling the plot of Good Will Hunting, and even though the therapist says that it sounds similar to the plot of Good Will Hunting and things became funnier when Dale said that the name of his best friend was Ben Affleck. Stepbrother’s movie is funny, and this movie has a pretty awesome collection of quotes and references to popular movies and actors.
8. On Introductions
Brennan Huff: “I’m Brennan.”
Dale Doback: “I’m Dale, but you have to call me Dragon.”
Brennan Huff: “You have to call me Nighthawk.”
In the movie Step Brothers, a lot of cop show references have been shown, and Jean Claude Van Damme’s movies from the offset are based on their names. The two unlikely friends demand each other to call by their preferred nicknames, and this was a very important moment in Stepbrothers as they did not get along at first and eventually became great friends. It also showed how the two had common things that both of them liked.
9. On Boats n Hoes
Brennan Huff / Dale Doback: “Boats n Hoes, Boats n Hoes/ I gotta have me my Boats n Hoes.”
When Brennan Huff and Dale Doback failed to secure a job in their interview, they decided to give up on employment and start up their own multinational entertainment company called Prestige Worldwide. Their first clients are Huff n Doback, their stage names, and they are a hip hop duo, and their debut song is titled ‘Boats n Hoes.’
The hip hop duo shot the music video on the boat of Robert Doback, and the lyrics of the song were “Nachos and Lemonheads on my dad’s boat/ You won’t go down, ’cause my dick can float!” and they went a step ahead by crashing the boat on the sea rocks.
10. On living in a house of learned doctors
Brennan Huff: “You and your mom are hillbillies. This is a house of learned doctors. You’re not a doctor. You’re a big fat curly-headed f!”
This bedroom scene was the most hilarious in Stepbrothers; Brennan Huff said this to Dale Doback, and it melts into a scene where the two characters talk about what they are going to do when the other friend falls asleep. It led to another hilarious dialogue “I am gonna fill a pillowcase full of bars of soap and beat the crap out of you!”
Stepbrothers are famous for the plot and the character sketch, but these step-brothers’ quotes are the primary reason why people still love this movie, and this scene will take the prize for the funniest scene in the movie.
11. On Shark Week
Dale Doback: “Dad, what are you doing? It’s Shark Week!”
This movie refers to the movies and shows of that time, and Shark Week is also one of the shows to enjoy. Dale said this to his dad after he switched off the television. The movie was hilarious, and Step Brothers came into existence after Adam McKay saw the amazing chemistry between Will Ferrell and John C Reily in their previous movie, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
12. On Dog shit
Brennan Huff: ” I have a belly full of white dog crap in me, and now you lay this shit on me.”
This is one of many funny step-brothers’ quotes; one day, when Brennan and Dale are on a walk, they run into some young bullies. They were beaten up badly, as they got punched in the face and the bullies seesawing their heads. In the heat of the battle, Brennan was forced to lick a white dog crap. And when they returned home, Nancy Huff told them that they had to move out. Brennan said this iconic line.
13. Ball Fro
Dale Doback: “Suppose Nancy sees me coming out of the shower and decides to come on to me. I’m looking good; got a luscious V of hair going through my chest and pubes down to my ball fro. She takes one look at me and goes, ” Oh, my God, I’ve had the old bull, now I want the young calf,” and she grabs me by the Weiner.”
This is the funniest line from their stepbrothers, and Dale said this to his father when Nancy Huff and his stepbrother Brennan Huff were moving to their place. Since Dale did not accept his father’s marriage, he is saying this to aggravate his father.
14. Threats
Brennan Huff: “You’re embarrassing yourself, you geriatric fuck! Two things: You keep your liver-spotted hands off, my beautiful mother. She’s a saint! And then you sit down, and you write Dale and Brennan a check for $10,000. Or I’m gonna shove one of those fake hearing devices so far up your ass; you can hear the sound of your small intestine as it produces shit!”
During a dinner with Derek and the investors, Brennan and Dale showed their parents their music video, and in the video, Robert saw his yacht crash. As a result, he loses his cool and drives them back to the house, and he starts threatening Brennan and Dale. Eventually, Dale loses his cool and says this iconic quote and fans of the film watch the stepbrothers listen to this and their favorite Step Brothers quotes.
15. Getting grounded
Brennan Huff: “This house is a fucking prison!” “On Planet Bullshit!” “In the galaxy of This Sucks Camel Dicks!”
When Dale found out that Dale touched his beloved drumset and then he caught him red-handed touching his drum set with his testicles. Dale lost it, and the two stepbrothers broke into a fight. Their parents separated them, and after Robert said that they were grounded, Dale said this line.
