"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

There's a full length mocku-drama to go with those clips:

Nothing really rocks and nothing really rolls and nothing's ever worth the cost...

I'm not sure the actual full movie is available on line. It's from History Channel UK and I don't see it on Netflix or Amazon Prime.

Somebody did a lot of work. That's impressive.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I'm kind of doubtful a whole mockumentary film actually exists. It seems more like a History Channel in-joke.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Actually, the full film is available out on certain parts of the internet. Just not the 'legitimate' ones...  C:-)

Well, it doesn't seem available to buy from the History Channel site (linked above), or from Amazon, or from Amazon UK.

I have a buddy who has a bunch of this stuff. I gotta admit it looks fun:
