Funniest bit or moment in a movie?

[johnnie]

I was just thinking about the first time I saw "This is Spinal Tap" and that 18" Stonehenge came down and the "dwarfs" were dancing around it. I fell on the ground because I was laughing so hard and I still almost fall out of my chair when I see that.

I know there are funnier moments in films, but that has to be one of my favorites.

What's yours?

[Mz Pip]

1. That scene also ranks as one of my top favorites.

Woody Allen's "Everything You ALways Wanted to Know About Sex" What is Sodomy? segment. Gene Wilder and the sheep had me gasping for breath I was laughing so hard.

:dem:

[johnnie]

3. I've never seen that movie

I liked Woody Allen's "Take the money and run", but I haven't seen too many more of his. Not that I wouldn't, I just haven't.

[malta blue]

6. My favorite part of that movie is the sperm segment

[underpants]

2. "Work work work work work" Blazing Saddles

I don't know why but that line (the whole scene) just kills me. The "Woof they was darker than us" bit by Mel was likewise a real sidesplitter.

[johnnie]

5. Mel Brooks was/is a funny man

He had a lot of funny things in his movies.

[NMDemDist2]

35. my favorite scene in that movie is when the trail boss yells

"Now somebody has to go into town and get a whole shitload of dimes"

it cracks me up every time

[sarge43]

49. Margo riding into town on the bull - that's when I lose it. n/t

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

76. In the governor's office

The governor (Mel Brooks), taking events very seriously, said something like "we need more harrumphing, we need to protect our phony-baloney jobs, gentlemen!"

When things get crazy on my job, that scene is like a mantra.
:rofl:

[terrya]

4. "Joey...have you ever been to a Turkish prison"?

One of many, many, many funny scenes from "Airplane!"

[johnnie]

7. "Airplane" was my favorite comedy until Spinal Tap

Yeah, I like stupid humor. I wish the Zuckers (sp?) would have done more movies, they crack me up. I remember seeing "Naked Gun" in the theater and I was laughing so hard, I thought I was going to get tossed out. But then again, the whole place was laughing that hard.

[begin_within]

31. Also Barbara Billingsley translating jive.

[NewJeffCT]

42. that was a classic!

"Shee-it"

translation: "golly"

[DS1]

8. most of Dumb and Dumber

it made my face hurt

[Richard Steele]

28. Every time I think you couldn't possibly get any stupider, you go and do something like this...

...and COMPLETELY redeem yourself! :rofl:

[Joe Fields]

9. A classic blazing saddles scene, near the end, when the

big fight broke out, and Gene Wilder chased Harvey Korman to a theater, where Blazing Saddles was playing. I still haven't gotten over that one.

[Mz Pip]

10. If you like old movies

check out the old B & W Preston Sturgis movies. "The Palm Beach Story" with Claudette Colbert and "Unfaithfully Yours" with a very young Rex Harrison have some hysterical moments.

:dem:

[Jade Fox]

50. I was just thinking of "The Palm Beach Story".....

when I read the title line of the original post. I haven't seen that movie in a long time, but Sturgis rules!

[RebelOne]

11. A scene from the movie Cat Ballou starring Lee Marvin

and Jane Fonde, released in 1965. Lee Marvin played a gunslinger who was drunk most of the time. Someone was killed or died and the coffin was in a room surrounded by candles. Well, Lee Marvin came in drunk and started singing "Happy Birthday to You" when he saw the candles.

[johnnie]

14. Never seen it

But that made me laugh just reading it. I have seen clips, but never got around to watching the movie.

[momophile]

21. what about Marvin in Paint Your Wagon

"there's a woman in Atwell's pressing her breast to the saloon." and so on and so on. He was wonderful!! And a wonderfully played drunk!

[Bjornsdotter]

51. One of my favorites

....always cracks me up.

cheers

[Bjornsdotter]

53. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

.....just about any scene, but the one that makes me cry every time is when the cat gets fried under the chair.

Cheers

[Lyric]

57. That cat had nine lives. He just spent 'em all!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

One of the best comedies of all time :hi:

[Bjornsdotter]

58. I love that line!

:hi:

[LibraLiz1973]

70. SQUIRREL!!!

My other favorite part of that movie is when the neighbor asks Clark where he's going to put that huge tree and Griswold says "Bend over and I'll show you"

[Steven_S]

54. I saw that in the movies when it came out...

that was a good one.

[Turbineguy]

68. It was Cat Ballou's

Dad.

[Shine]

12. I have to say: there are many hysterical moments in "Best in Show"

I LOVED that movie! :rofl: and I'm not even a "dog person".

another funny scene that just popped to mind:
In "There's Something About Mary", when Ben Stiller gets his privates caught in the zipper. LOL.

[Zavulon]

13. Major League, the first one...

...just about anything spoken out loud by Bob Uecker.

[BOSSHOG]

15. He hates those cans, stay away from the cans - Steve Martin, The Jerk

[JoePhilly]

40. How about in a Fish called Wanda ...

It's Kkkkkk -Ken, cccccccc - coming to kkkkkk - kill me. (Ken is in a steam roller).

[krispos42]

63. The funniest scene in that movie...

When Ken is trying to kill the old lady. He's tried twice before, each time managing to kill one of her three little doggies instead of her.

She comes out of her flat with her little dog, and he shoots out the wedge holding a giant building stone suspended from a pulley above her with a rifle, and the stone starts plummetting down towards here. She hears the rumble of the rope being yanked through the pulley, thinks it's thunder, steps back into the alcove of the building, and starts to open her umbrella. The stone thumps to the pavement, competely flattening the last little doggie. Ken, the animal lover, horrified that he killed the (last) little doggie instead of the old lady, slumps down behind a wall in horror and regret.

Oblivious to the fallen stone, the old lady finishes opening her umbrella and starts walking down the street. The retractable leash clicks and clicks as it extends from the walking lady to deep unerdeath the fallen stone until it finally runs out of of line. She gives it a couple of yanks, turns, and walks back to the stone, the leash clicking as it retracts. She around the stone a little bit, then as the realization that the leash terminates underneath the stone, collapsed to sidewalk in shock and dies.

Ken, hearing the disturbance, runs down stairs, crosses the street, pushes his way through the crowd gathered around the old lady, sees that she is dead, and runs off, laughing maniacally and saying "She's dead! She's dead!".


THAT scene always cracks me up!

[Mad_Dem_X]

44. There are many hilarous moments in that movie

"I'm picking out a thermos for youuuuuuuu..."

The dog named Shithead.

"You mean, I'm gonna STAY this color?!"

:rofl:

[ET Awful]

16. Shaun of the Dead - the scene when they're planning how to pick up his mom

and his girlfriend :P

[Smooth Operator]

17. Home Alone 2

just saw it last night. Joe Pesci turns on a light and lights his hat on fire. Looking for water to douse the flames he does a headstand into a toilet bowl thinking its water, its paint thinner. The next scene is an exterior shot of the house that is followed by a flash of flames in all the windows. That scene almost makes me pass out from laughing, that and the bald spot on his head.

[momophile]

18. all-time funniest - dating-form scene from Harold & Maude

When Harold's mom is filling out the dating-service form for Harold and he is faking suicide. Her answers to the questions are hysterical and he is so fun to watch, first pointing the gun at her and then at himself.

[begin_within]

32. "I would say that's a no..." I loved Vivian Pickles in that movie.

[idgiehkt]

19. just about every minute of the movie "Survivors"

81. I start talking like the paperboy...

whenever somebody mentions two dollars.

What about when the French exchange student is trying to describe why she doesn't like Ricky? "He puts his testicles on me."

[Gormy Cuss]

25. From "The Jerk"

For those who don't remember the movie Steve Martin played Navin and he was raised in an African-American family.

Navin : I'm not? You mean I'm gonna STAY this color? "
