For a while now, I’ve wanted to put together a Guide concentrated solely on the all-time funniest scenes in movies, but it’s an impossible task for one person to put together. It’s too subjective. And there are too many scenes I’d want to include, and too many I’d surely miss. It’s an undertaking I wouldn’t want to do by myself.
And that is why, tonight, I’m outsourcing the job to you all. What’s the funniest scene in any movie you’ve ever seen? It doesn’t even have to be a good movie. It could be a crappy movie with a brilliantly funny scene (there’s one in Jim Carrey’s Liar, Liar that springs to mind). If I could amass enough suggestions and get a little consensus, then perhaps this Guide can come to fruition.
For me: It’s not an easy choice, but if I had to choose one scene as the funniest from any movie I’ve ever watched, it’d have to be this one, from The Jerk (also, feel free to add YouTube urls to your favorite scenes in your comment. Use the website blank in the comment form).
For me, it's the one where the bathtub crashes through the ceiling and into the first floor in The Money Pit. Tom Hanks hysterical laughter has me rolling on the floor every single time.

The mirror scene from Duck Soup. Often imitated; never equalled.
Two immediately jump into mind just because of the amount I laughed the first time I saw them:
1) It may have been run into the ground after repeat viewings, but Farley in Tommy Boy truck tire demonstration destroyed me.
2) A little demented, but in Pulp Fiction when Travolta shoots Marvin in the face, and the aftermath while they're still driving, just totally unexpected and fantastic.

Buster Keaton in The General, battling with his own train.
Added bonus: Annoying people cannot over-quote the scene and make it un-funny.
The first one that leaps to mind that had me crying from laughter was the scene in American Pie where Jim doesn't know that he's being watched via web cam by about the whole school and he's trying to score with Nadya and does that little dance and comes too early and busts out the porn, etc.
It was a really long scene and I was doubled over the whole time. A true raunchy classic.
Posted by: wandereraz at August 13, 2009 9:19 PM
It was hard to pick one, but I had to go with the classic:
Well, I can't find a youtube video, sadly, but there's this scene in The Ten Commandments, after the last plague, between Charlton Heston (as Moses) and Yul Brynner (as the Pharoah) that kills me every time I see it. The Pharoah's son has just died because of the final plague, and so Yul Brynner tells Moses to go "And take your cattle with you!" (or something like that) and then he does that overly dramatic hiding-your-face-in-your-elbow move, and Charlton Heston walks off, muttering about god, for like, four minutes. He just keeps muttering, even when he's offscreen, and Yul Brynner just stays there in this awkward pose the whole time. Kills. me.

I'm curious what part of Liar, Liar you enjoyed. I laughed hysterically through nearly the whole thing. But them I could be a 12 year old boy, in which case it wouldn't be surprising.
Also, I don't know how to make things go linky linky :(
Hands down, the dinner scene from While You Were Sleeping. The disjointed conversation sounds exactly like every family dinner I've ever had. Favorite line to quote: "These mashed potatoes are so creamy."
i didn't even smile. this is horribly outdated and not even remotely funny.
Charles Bukowski put it best when he once said 'steve martin the jerk, he got paid eighteen million dollars for that movie and i fell asleep in the middle of it.'

That's it? I thought there was some technical HTML code I had to know. Thanks, gp!
The school auditorium scene in The Addams Family, both the peppy sing-along part (the family's reaction shots are hilarious) and the bloody scene with Wednesday and Pugsley.
We rented Planes, Trains, and Automobiles literally the day before John Hughes died.
The most memorable part, for me, of almost any movie is when they flip out while scraping through the semis. They're screaming hysterically, and Steve Martin looks over at John Candy and he's dressed up like the devil (why the fuck?) and laughing most menacingly...
The climax of airplane, when the guy goes, "looks like I picked a bad week to quit sniffing glue," The landmine scene in Galaxy Quest, and just about any scene in Dumb and Dumber.

I tried to find one of the earlier scenes in Punisher: War Zone on StupidTube, but I can't. It's the first bit of murderin', the one where he kills all the mob guys and he's spinning on chandeliers and shit. I laughed my ass off at that scene.
*DISCLAIMER* I was jacked on muscle relaxers when I watched it, but I maintain that the scene would have been funny anyway. I will not, however, be surprised if someone tells me that this scene is not actually in the movie.

I have to second/third/fourth the Stonehenge scene in "This is Spinal Tap".
The reveal of the killer rabbit in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".
Their first stop at Circus Circus in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". "Dogs fucked the Pope, no fault of mine!" Kills me everytime!
Oh, and the singing telegram in "Clue".
But I will pretty much laugh at anything.
Posted by: Quorren at August 13, 2009 10:15 PM
Mixed Nuts with Steve Martin is not a great movie by any means.
But Madeline Kahn, stuck in the elevator singing along to a tiny keyboard? It SLAYS me.
The first one, I couldn't find a video for it. But its the scene in Punch Drunk Love where he gets in the car wreck then beats the shit out of the brothers...love it.

I howl every time I see the "Putting on the Ritz" scene in "Young Frankenstein".
I also second the Black Knight scene.
I don't know if anybody on the board ever played "Battle Chess", but the animations for each capture were different. (Queen takes knight was different from Queen takes Queen, etc.). Knight takes Knight is an homage to this particular scene. Watching the captured knight hopping around on one leg was hysterical!

Linda Kozlowski nearly getting eaten by a rubbery cartoon crocodile in Crocodile Dundee. This was right after she bared her ass in a black thong. I couldn't help but laugh at that fake croc's expression!
What makes it so hard is, not that you had it bad, but that you're that pissed that so many others had it good.
Also, watching Jeff Lebowski Bridges dropping his joint on his crotch while driving and then freaking out by pouring his beer all over himself. Cracks me up every time.

Drat. No videos for either. But as follows.
The puppet show in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Yes the karaoke comes out of left field but the darn vampire puppets have darn vampire babies. Even darn vampire puppers have darn vampire sex. Eat that, Twilight.
And Super Troopers, which I never fail to try to type out as Sooper Troopers. Cause I don't like that restaurant, even with the mozzarella sticks and the goofy shit on the walls.

I prefer my comedy absurdist.
Every David Wain movie has at least one scene in it that absolutely kills me. In Wet Hot American Summer, there's the bit where they get the news about the kids going over the falls, and they freak out trying to find a phone and it's just a lot of screaming and breaking things. Plus, the part where David Hyde Pierce says "Oh, fuck my cock!"
In The Ten, there's the "Vagina" bit.
In Role Models, there's the entire battle sequence at the end. Awesome.
I'm also an Apatow fan. The hotel room scene in Knocked Up is pure brilliance. And the speed dating in 40 Year Old Virgin. And oh god, when Jason Segel is in his sweatpants in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and screams "You shall not pass!", I kill myself and go to comedy heaven.
Then, there's the classics. The scene at the theater in Blazing Saddles. The Black Knight (and several other scenes) in MP and the Holy Grail. The monologue about fluids in Dr. Strangelove.
But I have to be honest. Possibly my favorite comedy scene ever is the "punch dancing" scene in Hot Rod followed by the most comically awesome fall in the history of film.
the scene in tropic thunder when the director's head blows off and then ben stiller holds it up and thinks it's fake.... the look on the face kills me!!
the intro to pineapple express...when the government guy comes out in the deep sea diving costume to re-light the joint and the dude freaks out!
god, i wish i could think of 'em all....
Posted by: maxpurr9 at August 14, 2009 12:53 AM
Sorry for any repeats (the links for some of these are so bad I'm not bothering)
All Of Me - Steve Martin Wrestles with the ghost of Lily Tomlin possessing him on the sidewalk. Also notable - the swami's 'Back in Bowl' bit...
Clue - singing telegram chick - blam!
Princess Bride - six fingered man runs away.
Three Amigos - 'My Little Buttercup' scene. Also, 'Sew Like the Wind, old one'.
Sixteen Candles - farmer ted under the glass (sorry to reiterate, but holee shit that cracks me up)
The Sure Thing - John Cusak spazzing in the rain, trying to break into the camper.
Blues Brothers - the dance scene in the chapel with all the flipping.
Spaceballs - the Officer Lady reports while the President is in the bathroom. The look she gives.
Canadian Bacon - any of the 'huthut' 'huthuthut' scenes.
...oh I'm forgetting a million things! Back later when my 'Oh! Oh!' happens...
Posted by: replica at August 14, 2009 12:54 AM
Replica, OH MY GOD I forgot about All of Me. I LOVE that movie!!!! Fucking classic.
cracks me up every time. Also, the end of 40-Year-old Virgin, when Catherine Keener asks Steve Carrel how it was (the second time) and he immediately busts out singing "Age of Aquarius". I fell off the couch laughing the first time I saw it, and when I re-watched it recently my husband was deeply about my laughing until I cried.

Just about every scene from "Some Like It Hot" - but especially the scene where Jack Lemmon is telling Tony Curtis about his date the evening before with Joey E. Brown - I must have seen this hundreds of times and it still makes me laugh!
Posted by: Julia at August 14, 2009 1:17 AM
Office Space - the Bobs
I cannot find a clip of the Bobs.
Christmas Vacation - Just name a damned scene. The whole movie makes me laugh so hard I cry.
YES on Clue. Flames on the side of my face is such a classic bit. Honestly I still die in Birdcage when Nathan Lane walks into the room in all black and tries to act straight..But OHH those pink socks.
Also anything Hank Azaria does as Agador in Birdcage. God I almost pee everytime he does "Conga." "Come on Gloria"
I totally agree with the singing telegram from Clue, just thinking about it makes me laugh! Not sure if these were mentioned at all, but I love love love:
Man, it is surprisingly hard to remember funny scenes.

Although any scene with Marty Feldman in Young Frankenstein is gold, I'll go with a couple others
Ken and the dogs - especially dog #2 - in A Fish Called Wanda (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qguwpiDbMws)
Corky's "you're bastard people!" speech from Waiting for Guffman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De6AkndwRpM), with an honorable mention to this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zOhG0XCOKw&feature=related).

Love and Death, the "Airplane" of 19th century Russian literature.
Funniest scene for me, ever, was Martin Lawrence and Tim Robins in 'Nothing to Lose'. The spider scene still puts me in to fits of giggles, and the backing track of Scatman is just perfect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1juqa7Njj7w
Posted by: Cadence at August 14, 2009 7:12 AM
some I haven't seen mentioned yet:
The dinner scene in "The Ref". Also the confrontation with mother.
"Ken is coming to k-k-k-kill me." in A fish Called Wanda.
Kevin Kline giving the investors a zoo tour in "Fierce Creatures". Flawed movie, but damn funny scene.
The fight between Cage, Goodman, and Forsythe in "Raising Arizona".
Brad Pitt's extortion phone call in "Burn After Reading."
The makeover scene in "Dumb & dumber" culminating in the 2 entering the hotel in those incredible tuxes and Jim Carey just hammering Jeff Daniels in the back of the legs with his cane.
When Chevy Chase emerges from the desert in "Vacation": "Ya thirsty, kids?"
Rodney Dangerfield walking into the country club to "Boogie Wonderland" in "Caddyshack"
Corky asking for $100,000 in "Waiting for Guffman"
Jack Black singing the ridiculous song he made up in "School of Rock": "How can you kick me out of what is MIIIIIIINE?" and the awkward silence following his performance
Semen in hair in "Something About Mary" (Okay, I'm totally lying about that. I hate that movie and always found it overrated, especially that stilted scene.)
The Diaper Chase scene from Raising Arizona still brings tears to my eyes.
Anything from Dr. Strangelove.
Dumb and Dumber: "That John Denver's full of shit, man."
And of course, The Big Lebowski:
When Jesus warns Walter if he pulls that gun shit on him, he'll snatch the gun out of his hand, "shove it up your ass and pull the trigger til it goes *click*."
Dude: "Jesus."
Jesus: "You said it man. Nobody fucks with de Jesus."
Walter, his face priceless throughout, turns to The Dude and says, "8 year olds, Dude."

Holy crap! I can't watch the videos at work, but there are some great things listed here...thanks for mentioning Colin Farrell "In Bruges" and the "family of fuckin' elephants." Kills me!
Not yet mentioned:
nearly all of "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?" but especially when they are in the car with BabyFace and he starts shooting the cow..."Oh, George, not the livestock!" and the cop car hits a cow. For some reason, I am on the floor every time.
Butch & Sundance: Butch on the bike, riding outside the window, talking to Etta..."Miiiiiine....ALL MIIIIIIINE!"
The opening scene of "The Philadelphia Story"...oh, hell, that whole movie!
Galaxy Quest...again, the whole damn thing, but "It's a ROCK...it doesn't HAVE a motivation!" "Can you form some sort of rudimentary lathe?"
Love Actually....when the Prime Minister is meeting his staff:
Natalie: Hello, David. I mean "sir". Shit, I can't believe I've just said that. And now I've gone and said "shit" - twice. I'm so sorry, sir.
Prime Minister: It's fine, it's fine. You could've said "fuck," and then we'd have been in real trouble.
Natalie: Thank you, sir. I did have an awful premonition that I was gonna fuck up on the first day. Oh, piss it!
Also from Love Actually, any scene with Billy Mack (Don't buy drugs! Become a pop star then they give them to you for free!) or language issues between Jamie & Aurelia.
I don't know if this would have the same effect on me now, but I will say that when I saw this for the first time at age 14, it took me hours to stop laughing. There were tears streaming down my face from laughter.
The scene I'm talking about is the (badly) animated one in Monty Python/Holy Grail when the characters are in grave peril from the multi-eyed monster until the animator suddenly has a heart attack and dies. The cut to the animator falling back in his chair had me hyperventilating.
Dunno if I'd still consider it the funniest ever, but it is the one that sticks out to me the most.
Damn this site is slow today.
Funniest scene in an otherwise mediocre movie would make a better list, and a lot easier to think of some good choices.
For me, I'd go with #3) the scene in Flashback (a thoroughly forgettable Dennis Hopper & Kieffer Sutherland movie) where Hopper's character meets a couple of hippies in a bar and does a hysterical Mussolini impersonation; #2) the scene in Flirting With Disaster where Ben Stiller's character finally meets his parents, and for #1 the "laughing gas" scene in Revenge of the Pink Panther.

I'm glad to see the love for Holy Grail, Lebowski, Spinal Tap, and the Marx Bros
(my favorite is the final football scene in "Horsefeathers" where they toss out
banana peels to make the defense slip)
Anyway, the one scene that made me laugh the loudest EVER was the shower
scene from the multiple Oscar-winning movie, Porky's:
Starts with:
Tommy Turner sticking his ding-a-ling in a hole in the wall of the girl's shower.
"Hi I'm Paulie the Penis. And I just love to have fun. Ha Ha Ha"
It's discovered by Beulah Balbricker who tries to yank it off through the wall.
When that fails, she asks the principal for a nude lineup to find the culprit. She
will recognize the offending penis because it has a mole...
Ends with:
Coach Brakett: Mr. Carter, I think I have a way out of this. We, uh, call the
police, and we have 'em send over one of their sketch artists. And Miss
Balbricker can give a description. We can put up "Wanted" posters all over
school...”Have you seen this prick? Report immediately to Beulah Balbricker.
Do not attempt to apprehend this prick, as it is armed and dangerous. It was
last seen hanging out in the girls' locker room at Angel Beach High School."
PURE GENIUS!
Posted by: swingdude at August 14, 2009 9:30 AM
The first scen I can recall falling out of my seat over, was from one of the Pink Panther movies, & it's at the 4.00 minute mark here. But watch the whole thing if you have time, it's worth it. Peter Sellers was a physical comedy genius.
To go way back...Mr. Hulot's Holiday, where Jacques Tati accidentally ends up at a funeral where an attendant takes his leaf-covered spare tire as a wreath.
Posted by: keith at August 14, 2009 9:43 AM
I'm adding mine before reading others' but I KNOW someone else had to have mentioned this:
Spaceballs: Dark Helmet with his dolls. I crack up every time at the look on Rick Moranis' face when he gets caught. "No sir! I didn't see you playing with your dolls again!"
Bonuses: Ghostbusters: the roof scene with Gozer. The Princess Bride: Vizzini vs. the man in black. The Philadelphia Story: a drunken Conner visits C. Dexter Haven. Ferris Bueller: the whole beginning, with Ferris still at home and trying to coax Cameron out. A League of Their Own: No crying in baseball.

The stoning scene from Life of Brian brought me to tears the first time i saw it, its so dang funny.
In no particular order
- The scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail where they first encounter the French castle
- The scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail where the King has imprisoned his son and he's leaving instructions to the two clueless guards not to let anyone enter
- The scene in Up In Smoke where they smoke the "Led Zeppelin" joint.
- The scene in Stir Crazy when Prior and Wilder are put in the jail cell while they wait for their trial and Wilder eventually slaps that guy in the head, "That's right we bad..."
- The scenes in A fish Called Wanda when Michael Palin is trying to kill the elderly lady
-The stoning scene in Life of Brian.
- The scene in Animal House where they kill the horse, "HOLY SHIT!" the scene with the PLEDGE PIN!, the scene where they go into the bar where Otis is performing, the whole food fight scene
- In Caddyshack where the Priest plays golf in the rain with Murray as his caddy, "It's in the hole!"
- In Caddyshack where Rodney first makes his appearance in the pro shop, "Oh this is the worst hat I ever saw..."

Puppet sex scene in Team America: World Police
Posted by: shelleyh at August 14, 2009 11:53 AM
Couldn't find clips for this, but the scene at the end of Wet Hot American Summer where Katie breaks things down for Coop is hilarious:
"Listen, Coop - last night was really great. You were incredibly romantic and heroic, no doubt about it. And that's great. But I've thought about it, and my thing is this: Andy is really hot. And don't get me wrong, you're cute too, but Andy is like, *cut*. From marble. He's gorgeous. He has this beautiful face and this incredible body, and I genuinely don't care that he's kinda lame. I don't even care that he cheats on me. And I like you more than I like Andy, Coop, but I'm 16. And maybe it'll be a different story when I'm ready to get married, but right now, I am entirely about sex. I just wanna get laid. I just wanna take him and grab him and fuck his brains out, ya know? So that's where my priorities are right now. Sex. Specifically with Andy and not with you."
I don't know if I can pick just one either! But a few faves:
1) The scene in Half Nelson where Ryan Gosling is in his car and the little girl calls him an asshole, and he retorts, "Bitch!" For a mostly serious movie, it was totally unexpected and cracked me up
2) In Pineapple Express, when James Franco tries to kick open the windshield and ends up with just his foot busting through the glass
3) Old School, when Will Ferrell gets the dart in the neck
dammitjanet, that is one of my favorite moments from Galaxy Quest. Although that whole movie cracks me up.
However my vote goes to All Of Me. Steve Martin out on the sidewalk with one half of his body trying to get inside the building and the other half trying to stop it is hysterical.
Also, when Mongo punches the horse in Blazing Saddles. There's funnier parts in that movie, but that one makes me laugh the hardest.
the first scene of The Producers (1968), which is essentially half the movie and is non-stop genius. If I have to narrow it down it's 'Hold me, touch me.'
Nothing on Youtube, so I suggest you watch the whole flick (the original, NOT the stupid musical from a year or two ago) and thank me later.
Hold me, Touch me: And after that, we'll play, "The Abduction and the Cruel Rape of Lucretia", and I'll be Lucretia.

Okay, Clue was funny, but Murder by Death did it first. Any scene with the Butler or Cook. And Lionel correcting Sidney's grammar when he's hiding behind paintings.
Also, Airplane, the drinking problem scene. And also "Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol!"
The Jerk, "All I need is this..."

Late to the party as always, but the classroom scene in Stripes gets me every time.
"I met her on a Monday and my heart stood still..."
"De doo ron ron ron, de doo ron ron!"

Kikker - you killed it right there - Zoolander still leaves me with a sore stomach from howling...Just in case Dustin actually does compile a list I'll agree with your choice, plus Farrell's brainwashing scene! OMG!
I think that The Jerk was LOADED with some of the all time funniest moments. Mine is "Are you Awake", Steve Martin tell Bernadette Peters how long their relationship feels like it's lasted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkVzspuCkxg
But my second choice that comes to mind is the Life of Brian scene where John Cleese teaches Graham Chapman proper Latin syntax
I haven't seen it in ages, but in Half Baked, there's a scene where one of the characters gives candy to a diabetic horse, thus killing it. Don't think I have ever laughed so hard.

Alot of these are hilarious. Especially from the Big Lebowski
I gotta add another from Half Baked (which I think was full of hilarious stuff) but Sampson Simpson talking on the phone to Thurgood and telling him to get ' his Jamaican ass' down to his headquarters now will forever have me in tears.

The bit in The Big Lebowski where The Dude's talking to the Police Chief and all of a sudden the guy throws his coffee mug at The Dude's head destroys me every single time. And when The Dude does the detective trick of scribbling on the note pad Jackie Treehorn was writing on. And the way The Jesus polishes his bowling ball.
Also, Ghostbusters: "Yes, it's true. This man has no dick".

This clip from Evil Dead 2 always cheers me up when I'm down, as does the Viva Friends scene from Survive Style 5+

Come on... "Born in East L.A.," the various scenes with the house-sitting cousin who thinks the phicture of Jesus is talking to him.
REALLY need a clip from "Stripes" for my ESL students: the night class for learning English, where students are taught to sing ? "De doo run run run, de doo run run." Can't remember the name of the song.

Does anyone remember what movie contained the scene where the "city girl" is out in the country and picks up a rotary dial phone and starts pushing the numbers in the dial?
