Martin Short - the most underrated comedian.

Martin Short is just too quick. I love him!

[Brandknob]

Martin Short is still the funniest guy in every room he's in.

[Tiberius]

Damn, that was like 20 killer off-the-cuff jokes in roughly three minutes... they should have their own late-night show: "After Hours with Martin & Short".

[JustNess]

I didn't realize Three Amigos was Martin's first movie. Wow! What a way to start his movie career! Three Amigos is a classic :)

[Shelleybean]

Steve Martin nearly sitting on Martin Short's lap, his arm around Bromance! I Love them soooo much! I need to have them both over for a dinner party....at which I wouldn't be able to eat, because I'd be laughing too hard the whole time. 🤣🤣🤣

[fireside]

Legends. Can watch these two have casual conversations for hrs. Brilliant comedic minds.

[gasser]

[kimboslice]

Their chemistry is gold. Btw Three Amigos is still one of the funniest movies ever. One if my Top 3... Had it memorized as a kid.

[jaimhaas]

I just showed this movie to my 4 yr old son. He is overcome with joy. We are still singing "buttercup" a few weeks later. That Amigo "salute" is legendary.

[FreshSqueezedLightning]

Three Amigos is one of the only movies I have almost completely memorized lol

[TalkAsSoftAsChalk]

I am gonna go rewatch Father of The Bride and Three Amigos now.

[Amehta]

[kathrynmolesa]

Martin and Martin are like two squabbling brothers who really do love each other.

When I was younger The Three Amigos was my favorite movie of all time. I would watch it over and over and over again. NONSTOP. I appreciate these guys and there work. Love ‘em.
