Fletch Quotes: 30 Of The Funniest Quotes From The Movie Fletch

Here are some of the funniest Fletch quotes from the 1985 film. How many of these do you find yourself quoting or paraphrasing on a regular basis?

Picked by Chevy Chase himself, Fletch is one of his favorite roles from his acting career. Here are some of the funniest Fletch quotes from the brilliant 1985 film.

With comedy classics like Christmas Vacation, European Vacation, and Caddyshack under his belt, the 1985 film Fletch often takes a backseat when remembering Chevy Chase‘s greatest film roles.

Named by Chase himself as one of his favorite roles of all time, Fletch is a fun film to quote. And you might be surprised to learn that most of the classic Fletch quotes from the film weren’t even in the script. Chase ad-libbed them. In a 2004 Entertainment Weekly interview, Chase reminisced about the film and named some of his favorite Fletch quotes: “It’s my favorite role because if anything, it represented my comic ability and was closest to what I’m really like. I was able to make up anything. ‘Dr. Jellyfinger.’ ‘I’ll have a steak sandwich and… a steak sandwich.’ ‘John! John Cocktoaste’ I did most of it on the fly.”

The movie Fletch has a very loose plot. The film is about an arrogant undercover reporter named Irwin “Fletch” Fletcher. The storyline creates the perfect backdrop for Chevy Chase to wear bad physical disguises, invent ridiculous fake identities, and use his classic one-liners.

Here are some of the funniest Fletch quotes from the 1985 film. How many of these Fletch quotes do you find yourself quoting or paraphrasing on a regular basis?
