This movie isn't typically laughing out loud hilarious, but it's still funny and has a lot of great quotes.
20140330:
Many comedy films have a way of being hit or miss on a person to person basis and Zoolander is a real hit for me.
However, trying to put aside the fact that Zoolander is a personal favorite comedy, the movie as a whole is a decent, average comedy.
Instant Comments:
5: "Wow, you're ridiculously good-looking."
5: "Well I guess I'd have to answer your question with another question. How many aboriginals do you see modeling?"
4, 5: "That Hansel's so hot right now."
5: Haha. "I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that."
5:
4, 5: "Orange Mocha Frappuccino!"
5: At the funeral, the camera briefly switches over to a man watching from afar, a detail I probably missed from earlier viewings
5: "Or do you think I was too stupid to know what a u-goo-galy was?" (eulogy)
5: "We could call it... The Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read... Good."
4, 5: "MerMAN!" ::cough:: ::cough, cough, cough:: "MerMAN!"

5: "Mugatu!" "Slaves, Derek."
5: Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter.
4, 5: "So why male models?" ... "But why male models?"
5: "Bulimic." "You can read minds?"
5: Oh my goodness. The makeup.
5: References 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).
4, 5: "They're in the computer." "They're IN the computer!?!" Hahaha. [...] "In the computer, it's so simple."
5: "One look!?! One look!?! I don't think so!"
Credits:
5: Oh my goodness. I've seen this movie several times now, but this is the first time that I found out (from the end credits) that the role of Katinka was played by Milla Jovovich.
5: What I did already know, however, is that Jerry Stiller (Maury Ballstein) is Ben Stiller's father and Christine Taylor (Matilda) is his wife. What I didn't already know is that his mother Anne Meara and sister Amy Stiller are also in the film.
