The Princess Bride – It’s Inconceivable!

ByJohn P.

Inconceivable!Ok. Since everyone and their dog has been abusing the word “inconceivable” since I used it the other day, we’re going to round out our Princess Bride movie quotes with this last one before I start moving on to other movies!

The background story is that Vincent, a Sicilian who is employed to start a war by kidnapping a princess, tends to overuse the word inconceivable. So, here’s a little compilation of the phrase throughout the movie. Frankly it is inconceivable to me that anyone took the time to put this together!

  1. This is one of my all time favorite films. I can’t hear the word inconceivable without thinking of the death is on the line scene. I am still holding out hope for a sequel with Fred Savage reading to his son or to Peter Falk!

  2. The overuse of “inconceivable” does seem like old style SEO keyword stuffing, doesn’t it….heheheheh!!!!

  3. LOL, john you can find some of the most crazy out of sight videos at times, real good one. Sometimes I find myself using the same word at times.

  4. Guess I’ll have to take this into my own hands since its now totally conceivable that you will never post the greatest quote of this movie:

    Vizzini: You only think I guessed wrong! That’s what’s so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha…

    Second best has to be this exchange:

    Inigo Montoya: That Vizzini, he can *fuss*.
    Fezzik: Fuss, fuss… I think he like to scream at *us*.
    Inigo Montoya: Probably he means no *harm*.
    Fezzik: He’s really very short on *charm*.
    Inigo Montoya: You have a great gift for rhyme.
    Fezzik: Yes, yes, some of the time.
    Vizzini: Enough of that.
    Inigo Montoya: Fezzik, are there rocks ahead?
    Fezzik: If there are, we all be dead.
    Vizzini: No more rhyming now, I mean it.
    Fezzik: Anybody want a peanut?
    Vizzini: DYEEAAHHHHHH.
