Most male friendships are built on a healthy diet of casual insults (that may or may not involve “your mum”), sports trivia and movie quotes. The stag do is perhaps the most male of male weekends so to go in unprepared is social suicide. So, while we can’t arm you with jokes to stick it to your best mate’s mum (insert ‘stick it to her’ joke here), we can give you some of the greatest movie quotes ready for the big weekend. “You talkin’ to me?!?”
