Men in Black II (2002)

Question: After J neuralizes the video store guy he says 'Hey Ma' and then picks up a shovel. What was he going to do with that, kill his mom?

Answer: Yes. That was the joke. He was told something like 'get rid of your mother, and get on with your life'.

He was not told to "get rid of your mother, and get on with your life"! He was told to "move your bum ass out your mother's house."

Answer: It gave you the assumption that he was gonna kill his mom in order to leave her house. Maybe even inherit money to go to Cambodia. People say the neuralizer influenced the man. What people forget is, the shovel was there the whole time. He didn't go looking for a shovel. He already has it in front of him.
