5. “Napoleon, Don’t be Jealous ‘Cause I’ve been Chatting Online with Babes All Day” Kip
Napoleon’s older brother, Kip, has a slue of hilarious Napoleon Dynamite movie quotes, and this is just one of the many. When Kip is mastering the art of chatting up women in internet chat rooms, he likes to rub it in Napoleon’s face just a bit, especially because he’s going to be a cage fighter one day.
The brother rivalry is apparent in this line, and makes for a hilarious quote since we all know Kip isn’t skilled enough to be a cage fighter, or to really be chatting with ladies all day.

4. “Napoleon, Give Me Some of Your Tots” Randy
Lunchtime. Notorious for the most riveting conversations and being way too quick to actually eat anything. The same happens for Napoleon, except he gets the crispiest of tots known to man, unlike most lunches.
During lunch, Napoleon asks his classmate, Randy, if he’ll finish his, then quickly shoves them into his pocket. Later in the movie, you can see Napoleon munching away at said tots and hear Randy in the back begging for a bite at some of the delicious treats, making it a weird, yet best one of the many Napoleon Dynamite movie quotes.

3. “Tina, You Fat Lard, Come Get Some Dinner” Napoleon
Yet another wacky and just absurd moment is when Napoleon is trying to feed the family’s llama, Tina. It’s a hilarious interaction that serves no purpose but to question what is going on and have a chuckle or two.
One of the best Napoleon Dynamite movie quotes is when Napoleon is getting frustrated with Tina about said dinner, she doesn’t seem into eating whatever is on the spoon, so Napoleon flings the food at her and says “Get some dinner!” The not-so-cute pet name of Tina being a “fat lard” is hilarious when Napoleon first walks out of the house as well and is just an overall hilarious scene.

2. “Your Mom Goes to College” Kip
There are so many Napoleon Dynamite movie quotes that really don’t make sense. This is to emphasize the awkward, goofball behavior and personalities of the characters. And one of these lines comes from Kip once again.
Early on we see Deb showing up to Napoleon’s house to promote her photography services and hand-made crafts. While Napoleon doesn’t seem interested, Deb tries her best to persuade him, saying that she’s trying to save up money for college. Then, of course, we hear Kip’s amazing response in the background, a thorough insult of “Your mom goes to college,” that doesn’t really make any sense, but is funny nonetheless.

1. “You Think Anybody Wants a Roundhouse Kick to the Face While I’m Wearing These Bad Boys?” Rex
By far the best Napoleon Dynamite movie quote that even those who haven’t seen the movie can recognize is said by Rex, the karate instructor in the film. While his character isn’t entirely relevant to the movie, it’s still one of the best lines that they included. So when Kip noticed a commercial featuring Rex’s karate studio, he had to jump on board to become a cage fighter.
So when Rex gets on screen, hilarious stuff ensues. The man is prepared, wearing safety goggles while he instructs and bright clothing, like his star-spangled sweatpants, because who would want a roundhouse kick while wearing those bad boys? It might not make sense, but for Kip it did, and that’s all that matters.
