...smaller, more concentrated doses, go back to the supporting roles. The Wayne's Worlds were good, the first one quite so. But here's one you may have passed over: Billy Madison (1995). Easily the quirkiest of the Idiot Pack films, (by that I mean the late-model SNL alums) this one's a winner. And Farley, ah, Farley, driving the bus, baring his belly, just yelling . . .

The list goes...
...idiot was Tyson. The former champ and eternal bully, having already lost the first two rounds, decided to retaliate for an accidental head-butting cut over his eye by biting part of Holyfield's right ear off with 40 seconds left in the third round. The reigning champ jumped up in pain and walked away in anger, blood streaming from the ear. Tyson then ran after Holyfield and shoved him in the back before referee Mills Lane intervened. During an ensuing four-minute delay, a physician examined Holyfield and determined that he could continue, while Lane deducted 2 points from...
