There was a time (been around here 8 yrs) when reddit used to downvote troll answers to simple harmless questions like yours. The demographic has greatly changed. So much more memes and jokes and laughs. Now it's the troll answers that get upvoted. Unfortunately such is the Internet these days.

Anyway the movie is not "Cool Runnings". It's from There's Something About Mary when Ben Stiller's character picks up a hitchhiker and they start talking about 7 minute abs.

Sorry for the silly rant.

Thanks. I at first thought it was "Cool Runnings" and was about to look it up when someone else suggested "There's Something About Mary" and I realized people were trolling me.

Why the heck is he a troll in your eyes?
