This is beautifully played out in "Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang"

Harry: Umm, clearly I'm interrupting. I feel badly. Let me... What are you drinking?

Harmony: Bad.

Harry: Bad? Sorry... feel...?

Harmony: You feel bad.

Harry: Bad?

Harmony: Badly is an adverb. So to say you feel badly would be saying that the machanism which allows you to feel is broken.

Later, Harry tries to use his newfound knowledge on Perry:

Perry: Go. Sleep badly. Any questions, hesitate to call.

Harry: Bad.

Perry: Excuse me?

Harry: Sleep bad. Otherwise it makes it seem like the mechanism that allows you to sleep...

Perry: What, f**khead? Who taught you grammar? Badly's an adverb. Get out. Vanish.
