Why These Quotes Still Matter
A 2019 study on humor and memory found that people remember funny movie quotes 42% more than serious dialogue (Journal of Experimental Psychology). That explains why Step Brothers lines stick with us years later.
Plus, the film’s improvised moments (like Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly’s ad-libs) add to its charm. Director Adam McKay revealed that 30% of the script was improvised (Vanity Fair).
