About This Quiz
Nothing is out-of-bounds for humor in Caddyshack. Do you remember where the orange golf ball hit Ted Knight (Judge Smails)?

But go ahead and try to recall them all by taking the quiz right now.
For a film made in the '80s, no one had ever pushed the envelope of crude humor quite like Caddyshack. And the one-liners followed suit, from the Bishop saying, "Rat farts!" to Lacy Underall saying, "Wanna tie me up with your ties,Ty?" But what else would you expect from the brash and obnoxious Rodney Dangerfield, the hilarious Bill Murray or the legendary funny man, Chevy Chase? Plus, Caddyshack was written by Harold Ramis, who co-wrote Animal House, Stripes and Ghostbusters.Â
