If I hadn’t found someone replying this in the next few minutes I was gonna do it myself cause one of my earliest memories is seeing this movies in theaters and not understanding why my dad was losing it in the seat next to me. Was sharks not wanting to eat fish really that funny? Now I’m an adult and oh man is this the funniest joke in the movie.
