Funniest Quotes From the 'Napoleon Dynamite' Movie

'Tina, you fat lard' Heads the List

Still from 'Napoleon Dynamite'
(Fox Searchlight)

Years after "Napoleon Dynamite" was released, the movie still is quoted frequently by fans of offbeat films. There's something about the delivery by Napoleon (Jon Heder), best friend Pedro (Efren Ramirez), brother Kip (Aaron Ruell), hapless Uncle Rico (Jon Gries), the object of Napoleon's affection, Deb (Tina Majorino), and others that make the film endlessly quotable. 

Here are a few of the most memorable lines from this quirky indie comedy:
