For those who don't get the reference, it's from Adam Sandler's movie Little Nicky. Hitler is in hell and has to take a pineapple up the a$$ every day.

Uh no. The pineapple was a sensation when it was brought back by Columbus. Wealthy people then had a greenhouse arms race to try to cultivate it in Europe. Because it was super expensive and a luxury it became a symbol of wealth with ridiculous schemes like renting a pineapple for your party to show off or buying one and having it sit as long as possible. Decorative Architecture then incorporated the pineapple as a symbol of hospitality and that is why you see lots of pineapples pop up in architecture.

Oh you’re entirely accurate but sometimes you just want to sit back and watch a perfect five out of seven.

You should definitely rewatch it. I hated it is a kid for some reason. Watched it again a couple years ago. It is hilarious, hold up as well as Big Daddy, Happy Gilmore, or Billy Madison
