Favorite Comedy Moments in Movie History

Here are some of my favorite comedy moments in movie history. By no means am I talking about Best Comedies, I'm only talking about a funny scene or moment that stands out. There’s no order to it because I really don’t care for top-10 lists, I just wanted to share. So, everyone, pitch in with some of your favorites:

When Harry Met Sally
The fake orgasm scene is by far one of the classics in comedy. Granted, the film is a remarkable romantic-comedy, but the scene alone rivals most comedies made today.
OLD LADY: "I'll have what she's having"



The Pink Panther
In particular, the ending scene where we see an old man in a quiet village set a chair outside his home to watch an inevitable car-crash in the making. The scene still makes me chuckle to this day!

Dr. Strangelove
There are many scenes with Peter Sellers that are classic, but watching Slim Pickens ride that nuke is tops!



Austin Powers: Goldmember
The opening scene is bar far worth the price of admission. Granted, the film overall ended up being a rehash of old Myers jokes and didn’t offer a lot of new material. However, the opening scene probably holds record for more star-cameo appearances and is a total belly-buster every time!



The Nutty Professor
The scene at the family dinner table made Eddie more worthy of an Academy Award more that any film he’s done. The entire scene is gut-busting classic and one of Eddie’s best scenes in movie history.

Blazing Saddles
Of course, the campfire scene with beans as the musical fruit. Mel Brooks claims it’s the first time farting had ever been done on film – I wouldn’t know enough to argue with him but I’ll take his word for it.
SIDEHAND: "Want some beans Mr. Taggart?”
MR. TAGGART: "I’d say you’ve had enough!”

Bar none my favorite comedy is....

Plains, Trains and Automobiles
The late great John Candy with Steve Martin made one of the best comedy duos of all time. The movie had so many great parts to it, but I loved when Steve Martin tried to get a car rental from the fat lady at the airport after trudging through the snow for an hour.

I can't help but laugh just looking at John Candy, that guy rocked!

1. Young Frankenstein - First meeting of Dr. Frankenstein and Eegor, pronounced Igor.

2. The Big Lebowski - "OVER THE LINE"

3. Lost in America - Albert Brooks' resignation

4. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - "Are ya crazy? The fall will probably kill ya."

5. Bull Durham - The meeting on the mound.

Steve Martin droppin' the "F" bombs at the car rental is classic!

Uh... I guess this is a 'comedic' moment from the DVDTOWN Msg Bd....

(posters5) Eddie says: "I gave you an order!"
(hehe)

The sleeping-car scene from "Some Like It Hot," with Jack Lemmon, Marilyn Monroe, and Tony Curtis.

John

When Dark Helmet had them stop the ship when they went to ludicrous speed in Space Balls.

"Smoke 'em if you got 'em."

I agree with Austin Power's Goldmember beginning scene, funny...and that Anderson guy in Barbershop...

STRANGE BREW
When Bob and Doug's dog runs down the street, jumps into the air and grows a Superman cape and flies to Oktoberfest......When Bob says "I got to take a leak so bad I can taste it". Bob and Doug giving each other shock treatment. They need to make part 2......

Indiana Jones shooting the Indian guy (I think?) who was trying to intimidate him with swords.

40 Year Old Virgin had quite a few halirious moments as did Me, Myself and Irene.

Blades of Glory when Will Ferrel grabbing a handful of Napolean Dynamites nuts while holding him up in the air. There were a few really funny scenes in this movie.

There are so many but I'm too tired to think right now :p

"Stonehenge"-Spinal Tap
"The Shootout"-Harlem Nights
"Anakin and Padme"-Attack of the Clones

The Man with Two Brains:

When Steve Martin is so "frustrated" after his new wife yet again has a headache, he gets up and looks out the window breaking the lower pane of glass with his ... then right after gets his hat to go out and accidentally drops it, but his hat is caught by his... and hanging on it.

Pure slapstick I know, but even thinking about that scene makes me crack up.

Dumb and Dumber - the whole damn movie.

Bill Murray > Caddyshack when he is whacking the flowers as if he is golfing at the Masters.

John Belushi > Animal House his rant towards the end about quiting.

Sixteen Candles > Anthony Michael Hall the panties in the bathroom.

Christmas Vacation > Pretty much the whole movie

A Christmas Story > " I triple dog dare ya!!!"

Something About Mary > The hair "GEL" scene.

Raising Arizona > Nicholas cage robbing the store for diapers.

Me Myself and Irene > The scene when his personality changes for the first time and he drops scat in his neighbors yard.

And there are soooooo many more!!!!!!!

Stripes
Boot Camp graduation scene.

This entire movie...





"Billy, have you ever been to a Turkish prison?"


"Looks like I picked the wrong time to quit sniffing glue!"

Jake - "I hate Illinois Nazis!" (said after witnessing a local protest by the Illinois Nazi party)

Jake - "Say, what kind of music is played at this bar?"
Bartender (female) - "Oh, we have BOTH kinds of music, country -and- western"

Loved the entire movie...

40 year-old virgin, right!

"Is it true that if I don't use it, I lose it?..." or something like that, HILLARIOUS!!!

40 year old virgin

If I hear Michael McDonald any more Im shoot myself in my fuckin head.
Something like that, if you've ever worked at a best buy type place that was hilarious.

Its in the hole! its in the hole!

Airplane and Cadddy shack still the two funniest movies of all time.

nnnooooooooooo TICKET!!! Indiana Jones LC

Back to School
Scene with Sam Kinison rippin' Rodney and female student a new one!


"SAY IT, SAY IT, AH AHHHHHH!!!!!"

Tommy Boy...

Tommy: Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of shit. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from me.

for sheer roll on the floor, cannot get your breath...the first two Home Alone movies where Joe Pesci and Bruce Dern get caught in all the traps set for them...the best is Joe's hat catching fire and him doing a head stand into a toilet full of paint thinner to put it out in the second one...whoosh!!!

InvisibleBiker, was it the original Vacation movie where the girls were talking about who the best french kisser was, and the hick girl says "my father says I'm the best" or something like that? Man, that one just send me over!

FYI... (May 2 Update)

Jimi Love,

The thread is about "Favorite Comedy Moments", not a shill add for one of the crappiest films ever made.

Tim.... perhaps you missed Falcon's comments on PAGE 2 of this thread (3rd post on the page) - as he (like myself) enjoyed the humor of Will Ferrell (yet again) here in this flick. Besides, DVDTOWN's prior announcement of this movie's home video release (last year) is not coded at the moment to allow posting this new updated info, of the forthcoming Blu-ray release May 20. And this is what I found on the Msg Bd search engine.

Falcon's comment - "Blades of Glory when Will Ferrel grabbing a handful of Napolean Dynamites nuts while holding him up in the air. There were a few really funny scenes in this movie." And Falcon posted the following image on PAGE 8 of this thread - (do try to keep your attention focused Tim)

Yes Love, he posted what his favorite "moment" was, not an ad for when a disc version was to be released, so please don't polute my thread with your ad salads. Thank you and perhaps it is YOU that needs to stay attention focused. Again, it's about "Comdey Moments" not a full blown movie ad for Brooo-ray releases.

Well... (sigh) - since your being sensitive (again), here's a 'favorite comedic moment' I found tonight (pic of your buddy Eddie) - one that Chris previously posted on another thread... enjoy the comedy Tim!

I love how when I point out that Love is doing his usual spew or ad salads that I'm being sensitive! lol

Jimi Love, the issue is about staying focused on topic. Go to page ONE, first post, or just look at the TITLE of the thread. Everyone has participated by giving their "Favorite Comedy Moment". If you insist on posting ad salads, then go start a thread posting all your ad salads so you can look important. I mean, come on dude, it's just simple message board ethics and not that hard to figure out.

[Post edited by Tim Raynor on May 3, 2008]

OK, Jimi, I give you credit for remembering that beautiful poster I made just for Eddie.

I'll take the Big Lebowski.

"Nihilists? Fuck me. I mean, say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, but at least it's an ethos."

or

"I'm a brother shamus!"
"What, like an Irish monk?"

OMG Tim... apparently you don't even browse your 'own' thread, as I've posted a few COMEDIC movie preferences on page 2 of this thread....!!

Now, take a deep breath, and start over.... look on Page 2

Yep, you did and I never said you didn't, however, you just did your usual ad salad and went completely off topic. I am just kindly asking that you go start your own thread if want to post ad salads, as this thread is about "Comedy Moments" and not full blown ads for you favorite comedy film. Say it with me now real slow, "Coooommmmeeeeedddyyyy Mooooommmmeeennntttsss . . . "

Well... IF you've seen Will Ferrell in BOGlory, it's obvious his ENTIRE performance here is one long, um, ...."Coooommmmeeeeedddyyyy Mooooommmmeeennnttt..."

Keep tryin' Tim... controlling one's ego is really not that hard, if you work at it. Maybe some company will release a Blu-ray 'counseling' program on attitude improvement.

For your own peace and contentment, maybe you shouldn't be so quick to respond to one of my informative posts... although I know you're a real fan... (good night)

Umm, yeah, I'm going to have to go with NO on that one. It's one of Ferrell's worst films to date and barely worth a rental. My daughter insisted on seeing it when it was released and even she didn't care for it. Oh, well, back at'cha Love, Keep trying!

Comedy's supposed to be funny, isn't it?

To each his own. But I watched this movie with my friend and his 10 yr-old daughter and she said "That was stupid." Smart kid!

Chris,

Haven't you heard, just because it's in Brooo-ray it makes it an instant comedy classic! LOL

Inspector Clouseau interrogating the suspects at the end of "A Shot in the Dark."
Mr. Hulot destroying a beach house in "Mr. Hulot's Holiday."
A dozen things in "Dumb and Dumber," but the dead bird is classic.
Speaking of classic, the dead parrot routine in "And Now for Something Completely Different."
Matt Dillon electrocuting the dog in "There's Something About Mary"

John

Oh yeah, John. And the entire night club scene in Playtime too. Hulot rules!
