Super Troopers is high on my top ten list of classic comedies, something that isn’t a statement on my lack of a sense of humor but rather the amazing speed in which the breakthrough Broken Lizard movie ramrodded through barriers in establishing its place in the pantheon.

What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards.
