50 Most Rewatchable Movie Scenes - 26. Whiplash - A Caravan of Pain

Whiplash

YouTube - Caravan Ending

Whiplash: A Caravan of Pain, it's a psychological terror of a movie wrapped in drumming. This is J.K. Simmons best character. He's like a dad you really want to please, but you never will. The Inception ending (will the top stop spinning, is it wobbling?) comes down to this smile that Simmons gives. It's either the same fake front he gives this entire scene or it's genuine which is a creepy thing.

The Miles Teller vs J.K. Simmons scenes are all rewatchable on their own, but Caravan is extra awesome. "Not quite my tempo" might be the most famous line from the movie.

I'm not sold the success of this movie has much to do with Teller specifically due to how well the short film also went.

And finally, the second scene between the two. Andrew Neimann learns a very painful lesson about going too fast.

50 Favorite Adult Swim Characters

I tried to get a good variety and yet be fair to what I like the most. I'm sure there are one I've missed and some that might be surprising but if it aired on Adult Swim - I can use it. I didn't use any characters from either Robot Chicken or Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! as they are basically clip shows and while good, the re-occurring characters aren't used enough. Also, it turns out H. Jon Benjamin is the voice for half these shows. 50. Chains     Fat Guy Stuck in Internet 49. Assy McGee    Assy McGee H. Jon Benjamin plays the mayor. 48. The Mayor    Tom Goes to the Mayor A Picture of Jeff Goldbloom instead of the Mayor, but this was by far the funniest thing on the show. 47. Inuyasha    Inuyasha 46. Satan     Lucy: The Daughter of the Devil Wears Bill Cosby sweaters and is always trying to kill his daughters boyfriend DJ Jesus. Yeah... One of the H. Jon Benjamin voices...

Vexing Devil Giving an opponent a choice is never a good idea. However I really feel like it's win win here in the aggressive deck. A 4/3 for one will almost always be worth a card. So the real question is - is it worth a card to deal 4 damage for a red? It's not quite Flame Slash good in a control deck, or as great top deck as Thunderous Wrath but better than Thunderbolt or Lava Axe . 19. Scute Mob Not a true one drop. But by turn six hopefully you are going get a hydra-like insect that will quickly get insanely huge if not dealt with. My biggest issue is that it doesn't have trample. It's still a great costed creature that can do some work if unchecked. There are lots of ways to give it Trample in Green not named Rancor . 18. Dragonmaster Outcast And yet another non-true o...
