* Celeste kissing Steve as Bag teaches her how to in My Stepmother Is An Alien.
* "Love means never having to say you're sorry." "That's the dumbest thing I ever heard." from What's Up Doc?
* Don't forget the climactic chase scene.
* Or the court scene after that.
* The test for anyone whose seen Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood. Yell: "I WAS FOOLIN' Y'All. THOSE WAS JOKES!" If they crack up, you know they've seen it.
* In Being There, scenes like Louise the maid's diatribe about Chance the gardener's sudden rise in social status and Ben Rand misinterpreting his comment about "the room upstairs" are crowd pleasers, but arguably the show-stopper comes near the end: Chance (Peter Sellers) is watching the original Thomas Crown Affair on TV, and has just reached its big kissing scene. As per his tendency to imitate what he sees on TV almost subconsciously, he immediately begins to imitate the actors' lip movements. Then Eve Rand (Shirley MacLaine), who desperately needs him, comes in; he grabs her and begins to furiously snog her, even turning themselves around to match the whirling camera in the film. (Bonus points for being a likely inspiration for a similar scene in E.T.!)
* Noises Off is full of these from beginning to end, most of them coming from the inestimable Carol Burnett, but one in particular stands out as having made this editor come close to sliding out of his theater seat onto the floor from laughing so hard:
*
* Also, "I thought you was in...Sardinia!"
* And "Am I in Spain? No I'm not in Spain, I'm in agony, that's where I am!"
* Then there's the entire middle third of the film, which follows the complex (and nearly wordless) mayhem going on backstage during a performance.
* Any time Andre Moreau as delegate to the National Assembly is challenged to or enters the Assembly late after winning a duel with a nobleman in Scaramouche.
* Quite a lot of the dialogue in U2's film Rattle and Hum qualifies, but the interviews before and after the film's version of Desire are absolutely priceless, in 's opinion. "Well, it's a musical journey..."
* There's also the moment when Adam is giving a long and rambling speech about the artistic merits of their current album -- but everyone else is watching Larry instead, who's sitting next to him and imitating all of the random hand gestures Adam is making throughout (before finally just pretending to wrap an imaginary present and tie it in an imaginary bow).
* 'I. DRINK. YOUR. MILKSHAKE'! A Narm, Crowning Moment of Awesome or Black Comedy depending on your view, but hilarious any way you slice it.
* Why can't it be all three?
* The metaphor was supposedly Based on a True Story. Taken out of context, however, it quickly fell subject to Memetic Mutation.
* The rooftop shoot-out in Shoot Em Up, that ends with the letters of a large glowing sign being shot out by Mr. Smith to spell "Fuck You." Then an annoyed Hertz shoots out the last word of the sign to read "Fuck You Too." Priceless.
* Master and Commander: "The lesser of the two weevils".
* Bob Uecker's performance as sportscaster Harry Doyle is the single best reason to watch the Major League movies. This troper's personal highlight comes from the second film:
*
* Also: "Welcome back to Major League Baseball. Sort of."
* And from the first movie:
* Jumanji: After being smashed up and torn apart in every way possible (and yet still working), Officer Carl Bentley's police car finally gets swallowed up by a Man-Eating Plant. His response? "FINE! TAKE IT!"
* In and Out: "Exploring your masculinity".
* Bowfinger has two, Eddie Murphy crossing a freeway and "Fake Purse Ninjas".
* Another one from Bowfinger was when the crew accidentally discover that Kit actually has plutonium.
* How about when they follow Kit through a carpark with Bowfinger's dog dressed in high heels?
* "THUNDERCATS ARE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
* Don't forget the part where Juno talks about Paulie Bleaker's expression when they had sex. His :O face cracks me up every time.
* In "Guest House Paradiso", Richie repeatedly corrects the mispronunciation of his surname, Twat (it's pronounced "Thwait"), and when someone gets it right, he corrects them to "twat". The Crowning Moment of Funny comes later when the same character (Gina) talks to him again:
* Parodying the scene in Spider-Man where Norman realises Peter is Spidey is this unexpected gem from Superhero Movie:
* Charlie's Angels had the funniest Shout-Out to the original series ever.
* From Clean Slate, when Dana Carvey's character stumbles into the middle of a speech and is forced to improvise because the original speaker never showed, and because there's a thug on his trail, sitting in the audience waiting for him to finish. At one point, there's a map of Africa displayed on the screen behind him, and Carvey explains the map to the audience like this:
* While Caddyshack II is considered one of the worst sequels ever, the "Peter Blunt system" is genuinely funny.
* The "penis cookie" scene in Death to Smoochy. Rainbow Randolph's freak out after Smoochy tries to pretend it's a rocketship is priceless:
* Wet Hot American Summer. "I want you inside me! Oh, um, hey... from before..." is the first of many.
* From Mortal Kombat: Johnny Cage's textbook-perfect Groin Attack on Goro, followed shortly by...
* The Street Fighter scene from City Hunter - specially Jackie Chan's Chun Li cosplay
* Waiting when trainee Mitch finally gets to speak and slaps down the entire restaurant staff, before unleashing "The Goat"
* Life Is Beautiful: Guido 'translating' the concentration camp rules.
* Baseketball: You're excited? Just feel these nipples!
* "ROADKILL: Caught On Tape!"
* Remer staring up at a bird on a branch.
* Doomsday. The cancan dancers. In fact, that entire sequence, but the cancan was what tipped it over the edge.
* There was also the fact that the song playing was "Good Thing," by the Fine Young Cannibals. Guess what everyone snacks on five minutes later? Then the person-roasting contraption came with the little labeled settings "Rare," "Med," and "Krispy," and the leader, his strippers, and the cancan dancers are passing these little plastic plates to the crowd like it's a fucking school barbeque...
* There's a Bentley with the good guys in it. There's a bad guy on top of the car trying to get in. There's a bus blocking the road. The protagonist speeds up and goes straight through the bus. The bad guy's head gets cut off in the crash, and comes sailing still-screaming out of the subsequent explosion to crash into and splatter all over the goddamn camera.
* Two Words - exploding bunny.
* Roberto Benigni's Johnny Stecchino is basically one big laugh riot, but two moments in particular stand out in my mind. The first is Dante at the theater, taking all the bananas. The second is the whole sequence with the Cabinet Minister, which stumbles right through most of the movie's Running Gags and sets off a few Chekhovs Guns in the deal.
* He also had several good moments in Down By Law, playing a man with only a sketchy grasp of English. In one scene, he sketches a crude shape on the wall of his shared prison cell:
*
* There's also the moment where he ends up leading first John Lurie and Tom Waits, and then an entire prison, in gleefully shouting, "I scream! You scream! We all scream for ice cream!"
* Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle: They find the runaway cheetah and take time out of the night for the three of them to get stoned.
* Or any of the scenes with Neil Patrick Harris.
*
* Or Kumar's dream sequence where he imagines dating, having sex with, marrying, and domestically abusing a gigantic bag of marijuana.
* And their scenes with that ugly tow truck driver guy with the hot wife. "I heard everything you just said."
* From the sequel, Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay: When the old woman sees Kumar sitting some seats ahead of her, she briefly imagines him with a beard and turban, laughing at her, and imitating an airplane with his hand, falling out of the sky and making an explosion sound.
* The scene where Neil Pattrick Harris does musrooms and has a vision of himself on a unicorn. Even better, he's being questioned by a police officer the entire time. Not once does the cop even suspect that anything is wrong.
* The movies of Stephen Chow, regarded as the master of comedy in Hongkong cinema.
* Kung Fu Hustle: Stephen as the protagonist Sing stands up against the Beast, and as a result is beaten within an inch of his life, to the extent that his head is halfway into the floor - despite this, he manages one Last Act of Defiance and picks up a piece of rubble with one hand, giving the Beast a knock on the head with the bit of strength he has left.
* Earlier in the movie, Sing and his fat partner's attempt on the Landlady's life with throwing knives goes so horribly wrong it must be seen to be believed.
* "What, have you never seen an ice cream thief before?"
* Shaolin Soccer: "Why did you make yourself look like an alien?... Go back to Mars! Earth is very dangerous!"
* Also their replacement goalie's CMOA appearance is ruined when she walks into the goal post... of the other team.
* The opening of From Beijing with Love, a merciless spoof of 007 movie openings, culminating in a silhouette of Stephen shooting one of the writhing female forms several times.
* From the 2001 crime/action film Bandits-
*
* The little girl (who is actually Bruce Willis' daughter) burping.
* The scene where Kate hits Terry with her car, and accidentally hits him again with the car door when he tries to get up.
* Those aren't pillows!!
* Tampopo: The ramen-making training montage, and Tampopo fainting on seeing the pig's head.
* Slither, Brenda pregnant. She literally looks like a gigantic human beach ball. And then she explodes into a tsunami of slugs. Alternately, the Soundtrack Dissonance scene with "Every Woman In The World," finishing over the Mayor chowing down on an arm.
* Bill Pardy, upon first seeing the Grant-Monster: "Ho...ly...shit."
* Gran Torino: practically every scene Walt disses on someone. One of the best:
* From Thunderheart: "That's a rock, these are ray bans!".
* Pretty much the entirety of Idiocracy
* Brawndo: It's got electrolytes!
* "Welcome to Costco, I love you."
* Down With Love: The er....suggestive Split Screen phone call between Ewan McGregor and Renee Zellwegger and the entire conversation about men's socks.
*
* And Renee Zellwegger's character giving The Summation in about a minute at eighty miles an hour.
* And Ewan McGregor's facial expression after said Summation.
* The Incredible Hulk: Betty Ross getting angry at a NYC cab driver. With Bruce telling her that he knows how to calm down!
* Split Second, the Rutger Hauer Scifi movie set into the far future of two thousand and eight, after witnessing the killer tear through a metal wall: "We need bigger guns!"
* In the film of Get Smart, Maxwell Smart infiltrates the enemy base and is confronted by the Big Bad's henchmen.
*
* It does; Let proposition A represent Max is CONTROL, B represent Siegfried is dead, and C represent Max is dead. The propositions A implies B, and A implies C, may be accepted as true; since neither B nor C are true, A cannot be true. The logic is sound, even if the assumptions aren't.
* The Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace scene with a deaf and mute bridegroom in Four Weddings and a Funeral. Made even funnier because the groom is the one who "translates" the sign language.
* A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum:
*
* There's also the gut-busting reprise of "You're Lovely" in which the male character pretending to be Philia has to be reassured that his crossdressing will fool Miles Gloriosis. What makes it even more hilarious is that it parodies the original's "Falling in Love" Montage shot for shot with two men, one of them in very unconvincing drag.
* While The Proposition isn't necessarily the happiest film in the world, Nick Cave still shows he has a sense of humour when Officer Dunn shoots his toes off, and Officer Stanley, asleep in a chair, jolts awake and runs to see what just happened...straight into a closed door.
* Starsky and Hutch: Will Ferrell as the prison inmate with the dragon fetish.
* Short Circuit: Nearly everything Benjamin says is hilarious ("So instead of $11 million on the loose, we have $22 million." Ben: "And plus, we are needing gas money!"), but one line stands out:
*
* The scene where Johnny 5 dismantles that guy's car (in about 10 seconds), lays the pieces out in order, drops the manual and says "simple!"
* Hamlet 2 isn't the funniest film but the "Raped In The Face" song is worth listening to.
* This troper thoroughly loved Hamlet 2 and can testify that it is better than it sounds. There are many gems of hilarity to be found.
* Any movie by Todd Phillips must have The Dan Band. Who either shouts an F word during an otherwise clean song (Old School) or sings 50 Cent's "Candy Shop" (The Hangover). These are usually the funniest parts of those movies.
* Check them out.
* The Firemen's Choir in Bud Spencer's movie Watch Out, We're Mad. Seriously, if there is an antonym to Crowning Music of Awesome, that song is. Alas, Poor Assassin...
* Also the following scene, with the violin.
* Death At A Funeral. The entire movie is one big one, all the scenes with Alan Tudyk or Peter Dinklage have them, but the biggest one has neither of them, right before Credits Roll.
*
* Another good one is when Martha first finds out that Simon is stoned. Funniest background ever. Also, when Peter is found to be alive, and the expression on Simon's face is the ultimate "I KNEW IT".
* The whole window cleaning platform scene from The First Wives Club, especially the part where Duarto has to divert Morty's attention from the window.
* The Devil's Brigade, for a war film, has a bunch of them during the unit's first combat mission. With nary a shot being fired and minimal casualties (on all sides), the sequence includes two truly funny bits.
* A German officer commanding a small detachment and having two of the soldiers at a time peeling off to stand guard...only for each pair to be taken down in turn by the Canadians and Americans, the last pair as he's still walking. He turns around to issue his final orders and has a completely stunned expression as all of them have simply disappeared.
* Throughout the entire sequence, they cut to scenes of the garrison's commanding officer getting out of bed, having a bath, dressing, eating a civilized breakfast. And then he goes out on the balcony and sees his entire force neatly assembled (some half naked, having been captured in the shower) as prisoners and the Allied captors with the biggest shit-eating grins imaginable.
* Arsenic and Old Lace: Jonathan has Mortimer tied up and gagged and is about to torture him to death when Dr Einstein finds the poisoned wine and suggests a toast. Just as he and Jonathan are about to drink, Teddy blows a loud bugle signal outside, making them both jump and drop their glasses... and Mortimer goes right back to looking terrified.
* THIS FUCKING FRIED RICE STINKS!!
* In Date Night: Phil and Claire pole dancing. Just...Phil and Claire pole dancing!
* "Would you like to recieve a collect call from-"oh god this phone smells like urine!!""
* The rowboat.
* In the outtakes at the end "I have to go home now and look at my vagina with a hand mirror."
* "I have to go home now and fart in a shoebox."
* Phil and Clair pretending to be hipsters.
* "Zip your vagina!"
* Charlie Bartlett audtions for a school play:
* From Igor, after Igor creates life:
* Most considered Renée Zellwegger's Oscar for Cold Mountain a Consolation Award. This troper found her so hilarious he considered it a deserving prize (highlights: decapitating an annoying rooster with her bare hands and "So, you have never wrapped your legs around this Inman?").
* From Porky's: "A police line-up... So that can you can identify his tallywhacker? Can we please call it a tallywhacker? "Penis" is just so... Personal!"
* Hamburger the Motion picture: when the class is running the restaraunt and the little girl tries to steal the cookies, prompting every on of them to instruct her, so politely, to return them at once.
* Stir Crazy: "We bad!"
* Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder's first day in prison
* The Hospital Scene
* "Down in the valley...The valley so low...."
* Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
* Titanic 2 - an elevator full of passengers is about to descend to the lifeboats. Another passenger runs up and tries to force his way in... and is promptly punched out by a steward. Especially given the rest of the film, it was hilarious.
* In the Loop: Toby Wright has just been balled out by his boss, Simon Foster, for oversleeping and turning up to the end of a meeting, obviously hungover.
*
* The deleted scene where Simon brings it up again while Toby is eating a stolen pastry:
* "AAAAAAAHHHHH!!" thonk, flipflipflipflip, splash. (Immortalized by Billy Crystal, in his hilarious song-and-dance Oscar routine, as "Propeller Guy".)
* Tombstone: The Cowboys watching a juggler perform. "Professor Gillman? I seen him before in Bisbee, he catches shit!" "Hey professor, catch this!" (Shoots one of the clubs out of his hand)
* In Empire of the Sun, Basie says he'll "bet his life", indicating his copy of "Life" magazine.
* Why is Adam Sandler planning an English remake for a Swedish movie like Kopps? Probably because of one of the single funniest scenes of the whole movie history (the dialogue is dubbed in Italian, but don't care, it's just your usual bunch of robbery lines). Doubles as a Crowning Moment of Awesome that mixes Rule of Cool with Rule of Funny.
* Bye Bye Birdie: Albert sneaking his speed pill to a conductor who then conducts Tchiakovsky's "Sleeping Beauty" at a very fast speed...the poor ballet dancers!
* True Lies, being an example of an action comedy done right, has lots of very funny moments, and is probably the best showcase of Arnold Schwarzenegger's comic timing. There is the magnificent Mood Whiplash of Aziz making an angry threat video when the camcorder runs out of battery, the absurdity of a horse-and-motorcycle chase, Helen's Accidental Aiming Skills, Aziz getting a Groin Attack by way of the Harrier jump jet's tail, the "THE BRIHZZ IZZ OOOOOUUT" sequence, Harry and Gibbs threatening threatening Simon, and almost everything Gibbs says.
* Evil Dead II has Ash being beat up by his own hand.
* The Borrowers: Pete Lender's (rather pathetic) attempts at trying to get his dad to pull the car over:
*
* Especially when you realize he could have just said he forgot something in the house...
* Total Recall: Ahnold's animatronic "big lady" disguise fails him, so he pulls off the fake head and throws to a guard coming for him:
* The Party. Peter Sellers. Trumpet playing. That's all.
* He discovers the PA system with the oscilloscope. Birdie num-num. Howwwwdy partanar!
* Despite it's dark nature, A Clockwork Orange has some scenes that are actually pretty funny:
* The fight scene involving the Cat Lady and Alex. And this earlier exchange:
*
* Mr. Deltoid drinking out of a glass of water containing a pair of dentures.
* A doctor and a nurse making out behind some hospital curtains and rushing out half dressed when they realize Alex has regained consciousness.
* A little scene from Chinese Ghost Story 3 managed to burn itself in this troper's memory. The hero, a young monk, had his golden buddha stolen from him. Seeing him running after the thief, the customers of an inn give him a hand and stop the guy. Leading to this:
* The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe - he's a violinist in an orchestra, he's in an affair with the harpist, who is married to his friend the tympanist - suspicions form, they're all on pins and needles at a concert playing Mozart's 40th Symphony, missing their cues, playing the wrong tune, and driving the conductor mad.
* The plot of the movie has him marked as a decoy agent by an intelligence head to get his in-house rivals to expose themselves pursuing him. At the airport he's being surreptitiously photographed by several agents while he has a big piece of chewy candy in his mouth - every picture they take of him has his face contorted as the candy sticks in his teeth.
* How Toy Story 3 Should Have Ended--where to start? The mock Randy Newman song? The subtle sex joke with Woody's "you did everything with her?" comment, or even the entire "play" scene with Bonnie and Andy? All are hilarious, but the clincher has to be...well, watch for yourself: U En VE Pa CH 8 A&feature=related
* Jack Nicholson (as Darryl Van Horne) gets an epic and hilarious rant in The Witches of Eastwick.
* A Hard Day's Night - Grandpa is hiding out in the tv studio basement forging autographs. When he hears the manager looking for him, he gets up and accidentally starts the elevator platform he's on - and rises up to a stage into the middle of a romantic opera duet.
* Starballz is an odd film... but it does have the line: "When I fuck a garbage can, I gotta fuck it in the ass." Delivered seriously.
* The 2004 adaptation of The Punisher, starring Thomas Jane, when the Cold-Blooded Torture of an unfortunate Mook is revealed to be a farce to scare him into talking. Frank has the man upside from the ceiling as he lights up a blowtorch and describes in great detail what will happen to him as the superheated flame touches his body: he'll smell burning meat and won't feel pain, at first, but rather a terribly cold sensation as the nerves die. He then walks behind the mook, roasts a steak with the blowtorch and begins jabbing him in the back with a popsicle.
