What are some of your favorite comedic movie scenes? (maybe some spoiler alerts)

[MissMillie]

Some of mine (in no particular order)

1) Springtime for Hitler from (1967) The Producers.

2) Dustin Hoffman revealing he's a man in Tootsie

3) Robert Preston performing in drag at the end of Victor, Victoria

4) (Not so much a scene, but a running gag) The whole "what is it?" gag in Airplane. "We've got to get these people to a hospital!" "A hospital? What is it?" "It's a big building with sick people but that's not important right now."




I know I'm leaving some out, but these are the ones that come to mind this morning.

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. When the coke bottle falls beside Xi

an Australian bushman and his efforts to throw it away. The Gods Must be Crazy is one of the funniest films I've ever seen.

A very close second would be the "beans" scene in Blazing Saddles. I was only 21 and it was the FIRST movie I'd ever seen in a movie theater. I almost hurt myself laughing.

[MissMillie]

9. Mel Brooks is a genius

And whenever Madeline Kahn appeared in his movies... good times.

[Ferrets are Cool]

49. Hey MissMillie

I've missed you. Great to see one of your posts again.

[MissMillie]

145. I've been around

mostly in the Cooking & Baking group.

It's good to see you too.

[MaryMagdaline]

32. Coke bottle scene was great! Laughed to death

[Ferrets are Cool]

48. ...

That "cock" bottle scene must have been in the outtakes. I missed that one.

[MaryMagdaline]

69. You missed the best part

Seriously I’m correcting it now

[Ferrets are Cool]

70. LOL

[Beartracks]

102. I am SO glad you brought up this movie!

It was one of the funniest too for me, my brother, and a good friend. Our friend literally -- really -- fell out of his seat into theater aisle because he was laughing so hard.

I'm almost afraid to rewatch it after all these years, afraid it wouldn't hold up to that time and place. 😬

========

[Ferrets are Cool]

104. I watched it a second time with my mother...

she loves slapstick so it was a fantastic experience. Sadly, it doesn't hold up well. At least to me. If you are gonna watch it again, make sure it is with someone who has not seen it. Then you can laugh along with them.

[red dog 1]

117. "Are there more beans, Mr Taggart?"

["Whew! I think you've had enough"]

[Ferrets are Cool]

118. LMAO...still after all these many, many years. nt

[TlalocW]

151. Mel Brooks said

That he ran into John Wayne at the studio commissary before shooting had begun, and Wayne asked him if he was really doing a cowboy movie where a bunch of them sat around a campfire and farted. Brooks said yes and handed him a script and said he would love to give Wayne a part in it. Wayne laughed and refused because his image would suffer but then added, "I'll be the first in line to see it though!"

TlalocW

[Siwsan]

2. Peter O'Toole walking out of the toilet stall in 'My Favorite Year',

Along with Selma Diamond's reaction. Apparently it was something that actually happened with Errol Flynn. I looked for a clip, but couldn't find one. Fortunately, for me, it's on TCM, right now.

Come to think about it, almost every Peter O'Toole scene in that move is hilarious!

[MissMillie]

5. Such a wonderful movie!

Thanks for adding it.

[NanceGreggs]

85. My fave comedy scene is also from that movie.

But it's a different scene - the one where O'Toole goes to Brooklyn for dinner at Mark Linn-Baker's mother's place, and his aunt shows up late after finding something suitable to wear for dinner with Alan Swann.

SWANN: That's a lovely dress.

AUNT: Do you like it? I only wore it once before.

Don't want to be more specific - and ruin it for those who haven't yet seen the movie. To this day, every time I watch the flick, I have to hit pause after that scene - because it sends me into hysterics every time.

[Skinner]

3. "A Place Called Slaughter Race"

The movie itself (Wreck-it-Ralph 2) was so-so. But this was without a doubt the most enjoyable comedic movie scene I watched in the last year:

[MyOwnPeace]

4. Another Blazing Saddles..............

Slim Pickens and his marauder gang waiting in line at the "toll booth" that Jim & Bart (Gene & Clevon) had erected to slow down the attack into the fake village.

[MissMillie]

6. Asolutely!

That's a good one.

[MyOwnPeace]

10. It was tough to decide........

Dom DeLuise coaching the male dancers at the end of the movie was also WAY over the top!!!

[Paladin]

19. The Beans Around The Campfire scene still gives me great pleasure. (nt)

[hotrod0808]

106. "Someone needs to go back and get us a shitload of dimes!" (NT)

[red dog 1]

119. "Qualifications?"

Last edited Wed Feb 13, 2019, 03:19 PM - Edit history (1)

"Rape, Murder, Arson and Rape"

"You said rape twice"

"I like rape"

[Firestorm49]

7. "Mawwiage". Princess Bride

[MissMillie]

11. Another great one: Princess Bride

"Have fun storming the castle!"

[empedocles]

39. . . . the poison drink contest

[Ferrets are Cool]

50. Love that one too.

[DetlefK]

8. "Now" from Spaceballs

[MissMillie]

14. another pearl from Mel Brooks

"Spaceballs! It's gone to plaid!"

[frazzled]

12. Aside from ...

almost the entirety of Some Like It Hot, in which every scene is a comedic gem, here are two (among many) that make me laugh:

(1) Irene Dunne and Cary Grant in The Awful Truth. They're a fun-loving upper class couple who have decided to divorce, and when Grant soon becomes engaged to a society woman, it doesn't sit well with Dunne. When the new fiancee telephones Grant one day, Dunne is at his apartment and picks up the phone. He explains the presence of a woman's voice by saying it is his sister visiting from abroad. The clip here is the scene where he is meeting the fiancee's high-toned, staid family and "sister" Dunne suddenly shows up at the door, dressed as a hard-drinking floozy. The dance she performs for them has stuck in my mind ever since. (Comes near end of clip.)

(2) The Flamenco scene from Mike Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky. Sally Hawkins plays a hapless, ditzy, but endearing working-class woman, learning how to drive a car in London. Her friend convinces her to go to a Flamenco class. I don't know why, but the "my space" antics and the instructor's ultimate breakdown just crack me up.

[MissMillie]

13. Some Like It Hot is a gem

saw it for the first time last year.

I am unfamiliar with the other two you posted. I'll look into them. Thanks for the heads-up.

[Stuart G]

96. I had forgotten to mention that."Some Like it Hot" a gem, but a great movie also.

If you have not seen it, it is one of the funniest movies made..and a great movie too.

[blm]

16. Some Like It Hot for me, too. Also, entire Galaxy Quest scene at the con was LOL

Including the set up with the young fans.

[bullsnarfle]

44. Galaxy Quest (one of favs) -

Sigourney, looking at the Chompers - "I won't do it! This was...badly written!!"

More -

"You scene-stealing hack!"
"Oooohhh, that is just wrong!"
"Oh those poor poeple!" (Gilligan's Island)
"Give him a big hand folks, he's British"

bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

157. The Chompers: "Why is this thing here? it makes no sense!"

"That was a badly written episode!"

[hunter]

71. Fred Kwan in Galaxy Quest... "That was a hell of a thing."

One of my favorite movie characters ever.

He just rolled with all of it and fell in love too.



Galaxy Quest is magnificent.

[blm]

72. My guilty pleasure movie

.

[Zoonart]

77. Me too...helluva thing.

[hfojvt]

154. it's all real, and we need your help

Where are you going with all those fireworks?

[smirkymonkey]

180. I love "The Awful Truth"!

That was such a great scene! In fact, I just watched it again (for about the 10th time) about a week ago. They were such a great pair.

[MissMillie]

15. I'm going to add another one

5) My Cousin Vinny: when Vinny shows up in the jail to meet w/ Bill and Stan for the first time.

[rationalcalgarian]

92. Good catch!

Still one of my favourite comedies!
That feeling you get watching that scene, along with the "two yutes" that says "OMG, what are we getting ourselves into?"

[red dog 1]

120. I love the scene where Vinny gets out of the car & immediately slips in the mud

while wearing his new suit.

I'm cracking up just thinking about it.

[Mendocino]

169. I take pride in my grits!

[red dog 1]

172. VINNY at restaurant: "What's a grit?"

[customerserviceguy]

17. From "The Blues Brothers"

1. Elwood leaping the Bluesmobile across a raising drawbridge. "Our Lady of Blessed Acceleration, don't fail me now!"

2. Carrie Fisher's character taking a bazooka to the building where Jake and Elwood live, destroying it, and they just brush off the dust will slowly extricating themselves from the rubble.

3. The car chase scene in the shopping mall. No CGI in those days, that was genuine mayhem!

[bullsnarfle]

43. From "Blues Bros" -

As they go off the end of the bridge, passenger nazi turns to driver nazi and says "I have always loved you".

bwahahahahahahahahaha

[customerserviceguy]

76. Yeah, that one, too! n/t

[nocoincidences]

18. The Ritz movie, made in 1976

is one long howl for me, from beginning to end, but Rita Moreno as Googie Gomez is one of her best comedic moments!

[First Speaker]

20. Almost everything in *Arsenic and Old Lace*, but especially...

...the scene where Cary Grant is explaining the absurd plot of a bad play he's seen, about someone being stalked by a mad killer, and all he has to do is turn around and see the killer...all the while, Raymond Massey, as a real mad killer, is stalkin g him, and all Cary Grant has to do is turn around...

[TNNurse]

21. Every moment of Young Frankenstein.

[red dog 1]

168. "What knockers!"

[sarge43]

22. Mine

121. "Wait, I was going to make espresso!"

[sarge43]

136. "A mute (pat, pat), an incredibly big mute." n/t

[JTOL]

23. Romantic comedy

" I'll have what she's having"

[Haggis for Breakfast]

146. That's from "When Harry Met Sally"

Meg Ryan showing Billy Crystal how easy it is for women to fake orgasms.

That was wicked funny.

[ChazInAz]

24. "Fraulein Blucher...."

Neeiigghh!

What knockers....

[packman]

25. Biggus Dickus

[FiveGoodMen]

54. (pause) ... "He has a wife, you know ..."

The timing is perfect.

[smirkymonkey]

181. "Incontinentia Buttocks"

[Miigwech]

26. Charlie Chaplin cracks me up. Anything Meel Brooks!

Charlie Chaplin was a big influence for Mel Brooks. You can see the example of this in Charlie Chaplin's movie "The Great Dictator"
This is Chaplin's talkie not silent movie. So many gut busting scenes in this spoof of hitler.

[Ohiogal]

27. Practically the whole movie

Peter Sellers in "The Party" --A clerical mistake results in a bumbling Indian film star being invited to an exclusive Hollywood party instead of being fired. Hilarious!

[blue neen]

29. That movie is hilarious!

Comedy Gold!

[MissMillie]

40. Another genius

I always remember Peter Sellers in Being There.

"I like to watch."

[Beringia]

66. Love that movie

[Locrian]

110. so many good scenes!

[mikeysnot]

28. Duck Soup Still cracks me up to this day.

[Beringia]

67. Yes, Duck Soup!

[MaryMagdaline]

30. The grocery store scene in Mr. Mom

“I was never in aisle 5”

[exboyfil]

31. Danny kissing up to the judge for a scholarship

in Caddyshack.

Danny Noonan:
I've always wanted to go to college.

Judge Smails:
Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too.

I used that as motivational line for my daughters growing up when they tried to slack on their studies.

[AmandaRuth]

33. some like it hot has already been mentioned

but this is the first scene I thought of

And about every scene from Spinal Tap

[lunasun]

42. ++I thought of the final scene first . This movie has so many great comedic scenes

https://m.

[Lifelong Protester]

82. That movie is funny through and through.

But I always wait for the last scene.

[red dog 1]

123. "Daphne had a proposal last night!"

[eppur_se_muova]

34. The alien spaceship scene in "Life of Brian" ...

It so totally doesn't fit into the story, and then it's over, and back to the story !

[red dog 1]

124. "What did he just say?"

"He said the Greeks will inherit the Earth"

[PupCamo]

35. the courtroom scene in My Cousin Vinnie and the dinner scene in Beetlejuice

Marisa Tomei deserved an Oscar for that scene

[bullsnarfle]

41. From "Vinnie" -

"...da two yoots."

"Yoot? What's a 'yoot'"??

bwahahahahahahahaha

[PupCamo]

189. hehe

love that movie

[SWBTATTReg]

36. The Coneheads, the entire movie! nt

[Turbineguy]

37. The Great Race

Professor Fate playing the Toccata and Fugue in D.

[empedocles]

38. Butch Cassidy, Paul Newman's laugh [best ever], at Sundance who won't jump because . . .

. . . Sundance - 'can't swim'. ['hell, the fall will probably kill ya]

[Mendocino]

173. Think you used

enough dynamite there Butch?

[rationalcalgarian]

45. Not a movie scene, but...

I was always a big fan of the TV series M*A*S*H, but after forty years or so, I've pretty much stopped. Unless Colonel Flagg is in it, then I have to watch again! Edward Winters was brilliant as Colonel Flagg!
My favourite Flagg moments:

1) The black market episode where he lets the suspect escape then has to beat himself up to make it look like an assault. Comedy gold!

2) "Alright, Pierce, I've got you now! You saved a yellow red before a white American and that's pretty pinko to me!"
"You're even boring technicolor!"

3) Col. Flagg enters Col. Potter's office wearing an Italian army officer's uniform.
"What do you want, Flagg?"
"I'm not Col. Flagg!"
"Oh? Who are you?"
"I'm Ling Pao of the Chinese Intelligence service."
"Funny, you don't look Chinese."
"Neither would Ling Pao if he was dressed like this. Follow me?"
"As far as I 'd like to."

Just thought I'd throw that in.

[BigmanPigman]

47. I love the one where they are playing poker with Klinger

and someone shoots a gun and they all duck. Flagg says to Klinger, "Up close you're a man" and Klinger replies, "Far away too". He is wearing a red tam hat and rhinestone glasses.

[rationalcalgarian]

63. Oh, yeah!

[rationalcalgarian]

90. Flagg vs. Sidney Freedman

"You think you're smart, Freedman, but you're not. You're dumb. Very dumb. But you've met your match in me!"

I get the feeling that Mike Farrell's laugh following that wasn't acting!

[BigmanPigman]

93. Flagg is my favorite guest character.

[Ptah]

46. 'Just hit the pillow'

[TexasBushwhacker]

78. Speaking of pillows - Planes, Trains and Automobiles

[The Genealogist]

51. Flames...flames...on the sides of my face...

Nt

[KT2000]

52. Borat - the wrestling scene

truly thought I was going to die laughing

[red dog 1]

125. How about when his chicken gets loose in the subway car?

Also when they are staying overnight at the B & B owned by the nice Jewish couple:
[cockroaches crawl in under the bedroom door & they throw dollar bills at them]
"They've shapeshifted!"

[lilactime]

53. Pretty much any scene from This Is Spinal Tap makes me laugh

but this one just makes me howl
https://m.

[subterranean]

57. One of the few comedies that made me actually laugh out loud!

The Stonehenge scene and the scene where the band gets lost on the way to the stage cracked me up, too!

[lilactime]

58. Those always crack me up too! I really think that is the funniest movie ever made.

[red dog 1]

128. I'm cracking up just thinking about that scene where the band gets lost backstage

"Rock and Roll!" they shout. while they keep getting lost in the maze of hallways, trying to find the stage, and always coming back to the same guy working backstage.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

147. And how they can't manage to keep a drummer !

[red dog 1]

171. One of their drummers "spontaneously combusted"

"It happens all the time!"

[Nac Mac Feegle]

133. For some reason, I always think of the airport security scene

when I go through Security at a airport. The TSA people are always wondering why I'm grinning or laughing.

[Number9Dream]

55. "Play It Again Sam" / Woody Allen + Diane Keaton + Bogart's spirit

Fast forward to couch scene at 3:30 min to end:

Awe, heck, let's just say the whole movie.

[Blue1963]

64. Did you guys ever watch the show?

[Flaleftist]

74. Yeah. Funny movie

I liked the scene when the whole crew made the space jump to the ship.

[House of Roberts]

65. The Thrill of it All (1963)

James Garner arrives home from work, and drives his convertible directly into the swimming pool that wasn't there when he left that morning. The look on his face is priceless!
Then he furiously kicks the soapboxes into the pool, and over night the back yard becomes a mountain of soap suds.

[BHDem53]

"Igor, would you give me a hang with the bags?" "Certainly, you take the blond and I'll take the one in the turban!"

[Glorfindel]

79. The nitrous oxide/fake dentist scene from "The Pink Panther Strikes Again"

is the funniest thing I've ever seen:

[applegrove]

80. Charles Grodin and Robert Deniro pretending to be police to rip off a bar

for food money in the movie Midnight Run.

The candles on the head at the dinner scene in The Ref.

[TexasBushwhacker]

81. Ruby Sparks

If you haven't seen this movie, you should really hunt it down. A young novelist with writer's block writes about his dream woman and she materializes. The scene where he tries to prove to his brother that she is his creation is amazing.

[Thunderbeast]

88. So glad you mention Ruby Sparks

On a personal note, directors Dayton and Faris dedicated this film to their colleague and my wonderful nephew, Jay Kaplan who died the previous year at the age of 28. His wife, Eleanor appeared in the film.

[TexasBushwhacker]

89. I thought Ruby Sparks was really special

It's a shame it didn't do better in the box office. It's one of those quirky films that's hard to market I guess.

I looked up your nephew. So sorry for your loss.

83. Better off Dead,

86. Favorite Movie Scenes (and lines)

"The Producers" (1968)
The "Max he's wearing a dress" scene with Roger De Bris
The audition scene: "Will the dancing Hitlers please wait in the wings? We are only seeing singing Hitlers."
The first Franz Liebkind scene
"Hitler... there was a painter! He could paint an entire apartment in ONE afternoon! TWO coats!"
"Not many people know it, but the Fuhrer was a terrific dancer."
and the brilliant "Give me my blue blanky! Give my blue blanky!" scene

"Take the Money and Run"
Where he plays the cello in a marching band.

"Play It Again, Sam."
Diane: "What were you thinking about while we were doing it?"
Woody: "Willie Mays."
Diane: "You always think of baseball players when you're making love?"
Woody: "It keeps me going."
Diane: "Yeah, I couldn't figure out why you were yelling, 'Slide.' "

[red dog 1]

170. From "The Producers"

(off the top of my head..might not be exactly right)

LEO BLOOM
"Max, he's wearing a dress!"

DIRECTOR
"I see you're looking at my dress
We're going to the Choreographer's Ball tonight, and they give a prize for the best costume.
I'm supposed to be the Countess Anastasia, but I think I look more like Tugboat Annie.
What do you think, Mr Bloom?"

LEO BLOOM
"Where do you keep your wallet?"

[Stuart G]

87. From.."The Producers"...Where the Dick Shawn aditions and sings.."LOVE POWER"....

..and three people sitting in the audience watch, with their mouths open in amazement on how bad
the audition is..never having seen worse in their entire lives...............and

Zero Mostel yells out, ..... "That's Our Hitler"...........and here is that scene.(you got to wait a moment):

[rationalcalgarian]

91. Yes!

Dick Shawn was brilliant casting!

[rocktivity]

112. And just before that

rocktivity

[consider_this]

94. Office Space

many scenes, but these are classic:

When they go ballistic on the printer.

When Peter is dreaming about Lumberg, his coffee cup, and <ahem> - ' she __ck_d Lumberg!"

[smirkymonkey]

182. One of my favorite all time movies!

Peter's interview with the two Bobs.

[consider_this]

186. OMG - yeah!

That scene is so classic.

[mac2766]

95. A couple of mine

The Man Who Knew Too Little - one of my favorite movies. My favorite scene is the "Time Out" scene. This is the only trailer that I could find with a portion of the scene in it.

Pee Wee's Big Adventure - Paging Mr Herman

Elf - Several scenes

The Balad of Rickey Bobby - Baby Jesus

Walk Hard - "Dewie, I'm cut in half pretty bad"

So many funny scenes in so many funny movies to really pin down a single or maybe even a few "favorites". I'm a big fan of anything Monty Python and/or Mel Brooks. Especially Young Frankenstein. I do like the scene where Igor says "You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turbine".

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

97. Steel Magnolias - "Here, hit her!"

HA!

[yellowdogintexas]

99. I love that crazy movie!!! nt

[yellowdogintexas]

100. Mayhem in the Parisian cafe when the cockroach escapes from Julie Andrews' salad

Robert Preston doing the Shady Lady from Seville number in drag
Every scene with Lesley Ann Warren

Professor Fate doing anything in The Great Race Jack Lemmon was just the best!

[El Mimbreno]

108. Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Weasel searching Jessica, reaches down her cleavage, comes out with a bear trap on his hand.
Detective says, "Nice booby trap."

And as far as Mel Brooks movies, there are just too many moments to count!

[Alpeduez21]

175. You mean you could've got out of those handcuffs anytime?

Not anytime. Only when it was funny.

[IrishEyes]

109. The Apartment with Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine

I love the whole movie. I like the scene when Shirley MacLaine character's tough angry overprotective brother in law comes to the apartment to find her. Fran and Bud are having an innocent conversation but it doesn't sound that way. Jack Lemmon's character keeps talking and digging himself into a hole until he gives up and accepts his (undeserved) fate.

BUD
You know what we're going to do
after dinner?

FRAN
The dishes?

BUD
I mean, after that?

FRAN
What?

BUD
You don't have to if you don't want
to --

FRAN
I don't?

BUD
We're going to finish that gin game.

FRAN
Oh.

BUD
So I want you to keep a clear head.

The door bell rings. Carrying his martini glass, Bud crosses
to the door, starts to open it.

BUD
Because I don't want to take
advantage of you -- the way I did
yesterday in bed.

By now the door is open, and Bud is speaking to Fran over
his shoulder. He turns, finds himself face to face with Karl
Matuschka, who is standing grimly in the doorway.

MATUSCHKA
Baxter?

BUD
Yes?

Matuschka shoves him roughly aside, strides past him toward
Fran, who has risen to her feet.

MATUSCHKA
What's with you, Fran -- did you
forget where you live?

FRAN
(to Bud)
This is my brother-in-law, Karl
Matuschka.

BUD
(friendly)
How do you do, Mr. Matuschka?

MATUSCHKA
(pushing Bud away; to Fran)
Okay, get your clothes on. I got
the cab downstairs.

BUD
Now, wait a minute. I know what
you're thinking -- but it's not as
bad as it looks --
MATUSCHKA
(shoving him away)
It's none of my business what you
do, Fran -- you're over twenty-
one -- but your sister happens to
think you're a lady.

BUD
All we were going to do is eat and
wash the dishes --

MATUSCHKA
(grabbing him)
Look, Buddy-boy -- if there wasn't
a lady present, I'd clobber you.

FRAN
(separating them)
All right, Karl -- I'll get dressed.

She exits into the bedroom, removing her dress from the
door, and closing it. Matuschka leans against the wall
beside the hall door, eyeing Bud truculently. Bud raises a
finger to remonstrate with him -- then breaks into a nervous,
ingratiating smile.

BUD
Care for a martini? Champagne?
(Matuschka continues
glaring at him)
How about a little spaghetti with
meat sauce? Made it myself.
(Matuschka just scowls)
Your sister-in-law sure is
terrific --
(realizes his mistake;
switching abruptly)
Must be murder driving a cab in New
York -- I mean, with all that
cross-town traffic --

He gestures with the martini glass, spilling the contents
over his shirtfront. Through the partly open hall door, Dr.
Dreyfuss sticks his head in.

DR. DREYFUSS
Hi, Baxter.

He steps into the apartment, passing Matuschka without
seeing him.

DR. DREYFUSS
How's the patient?

BUD
(quickly)
Oh, I'm fine, Doc.

DR. DREYFUSS
Not you -- Miss Kubelik.

MATUSCHKA
(stepping forward)
What's the matter with Miss Kubelik?

BUD
Oh, this is Mr. Matuschka -- he's
Miss Kubelik's -- he's got a cab
downstairs --

MATUSCHKA
(to Dreyfuss)
Fran been sick or something?

Dr. Dreyfuss looks at Bud.

BUD
No, no -- just had a little accident.

MATUSCHKA
(to Dreyfuss)
What does he mean, accident?

DR. DREYFUSS
Well, these things happen all the
time --

MATUSCHKA
What things?
(grabbing Dreyfuss)
Say, what kind of doctor are you,
anyway?

BUD
(hastily)
Oh, not that kind. He just gave her
a shot and pumped her stomach out --

Behind them, the bedroom door has opened, and Fran comes
out, wearing her coat over her dress.

MATUSCHKA
What for?

FRAN
(coming up)
Because I took some sleeping pills.
But I'm all right now -- so let's go.

MATUSCHKA
Why did you take sleeping pills?

BUD
(promptly)
On account of me.

MATUSCHKA
(whirling on him)
You?

BUD
Who else?

Matuschka lashes out with a left to Bud's jaw, and while he
is off balance, catches him with a right to the eye. Bud
falls back against the Christmas tree, which topples with a
crash. Fran pulls Matuschka away from him.

FRAN
Leave him alone, Karl.

She kneels beside Bud.

FRAN
(tenderly)
You fool -- you damn fool.

MATUSCHKA
Come on, Fran.

FRAN
Goodbye, Mr. Baxter.

She kisses him on the cheek, rises, starts toward the door.

FRAN
Goodbye, doctor.

She follows Matuschka out. Bud looks after her, starry-eyed.

DR. DREYFUSS
I don't want to gloat, but just
between us, you had that coming to
you.
(tilts Bud's chin up,
examines his eye)
Tch, tch, tch. Are you going to
have a shiner tomorrow. Let me get
my bag.
(he starts out)
BUD
(calling after him)
Don't bother, Doc. It doesn't hurt
a bit.

He is on Cloud Nine.

Don't snort popcorn through your nose. Hurts like a mofo.

[Honeycombe8]

[Auggie]

126. Eating Raoul

The Hot Tub Scene

"At the store, can you buy a new frying pan? I'm a little squeamish about using the one we use to kill people."

"Mary, if we call it the Country Kitchen, can the specialty still be the Bland Enchilada?"

"Why don't you go to bed, honey? I'll bag the Nazi and straighten up."

[red dog 1]

130. So many great scenes from "The Odd Couple"

Sports reporter Walter Matthau's covering the baseball game and the phone rings:

"Oscar, it's for you!"

[Oscar turns around to take the call] "Hello?"

[Felix] "We're having franks & beans for dinner so don't eat any hot dogs"

[The other reporter to Oscar] ] "You just missed a triple play!"

[LakeSuperiorView]

131. A bit obscure, but in Twilight Zone the Movie

The bit actors who are Viet Nam era soldiers, as they are crossing a rice paddy, one says "I told you we shouldn't have killed Lt. Neidermeyer!!". Neidermeyer, of course, was destined to be fragged by his own troops the the closing credits of Animal House. My room-mate and I bust a gut laughing and we were the only ones in the theater that laughed.

There something about being the only ones to find the Easter Egg...

[yonder]

140. I remember that, but didn't catch it the first time I saw it.

[alfredo]

132. A Fish Name Wanda and this from Monty Python "Holy Grail."

134. Marx Brothers state room Scene in A Night at the Opera.

[lkinwi]

135. Have to do Three Stooges

https://m.

[3catwoman3]

138. The diner scene in"When Harry...

...Met Sally,” as mentioned up thread.

Any number of scene “The Odd Couple.” Two favorites of mine are Walter Matthau’s lines about having green sandwiches and brown sandwiches, and taking 2 weeks (can’t remember the exact number) to figure out that the FU at the bottom of Felix’s little notes didn’t mean Fuck You.

[red dog 1]

161. (Off the top of my head, but I think it's right)

"You leave little notes on my pillow...How many times have I told you I HATE little notes on my pillow!...'We're out of corn flakes, F U'..
It took me 2 days to figure out F U meant Felix Unger!"

[3catwoman3]

163. If not exact, it is...

...close enough.

That was one damn funny movie.

[yonder]

139. I've got two:

1. John Candy in Trains, Planes and Automobiles. The cigarette butt catching the upholstery on fire just as Candy's coat gets caught on the seat, etc. I was in tears first time I saw that.

2. John Belushi in Animal House. With him jogging the ladder on the sorority house scene. The whole theater went nuts at that.

3. One more: I don't remember the name for sure, maybe "A Fish Called Wanda". Where the girlfriend comes over, uses the bathroom, discovers and uses some "hair gel" that is really some ejaculate. What a hoot that was.

[MissMillie]

141. That was Cameron Diaz

in Something About Mary

[yonder]

143. Yes, thanks. Something About Mary and thanks for this great OP, MM!

Sight gags can make or break a movie. We're just scratching the surface

[red dog 1]

162. Another great scene in Something About Mary was when Ben Stiller touched

Cameron Diaz's brother's ear, and he immediately got punched in the nose.

Very funny movie!

[red dog 1]

167. From "Planes, Trains & Automobiles"

STEVE MARTIN
"Where's your other hand?"

JOHN CANDY
"Between two pillows"

STEVE MARTIN
"THOSE AREN'T PILLOWS!!!"

[yonder]

178. yep. Great line: "Those aren't pillows!!" Two comedy greats in one movie. RIP Mr. Candy

[red dog 1]

188. John Candy died way too young

He was only 43

[rurallib]

142. "Three Billboards Outside Of Ebbing Missouri" had me just roaring

I can't remember specific scenes at this moment sadly.
Vaguely remember a scene with a priest that almost had me in tears.

Was that supposed to be a serious movie?

[yonder]

144. It was pretty dark, but had plenty of humor.

One scene that comes to mind is the pet turtle crawling about the deputy's mom's lap.

[sweetloukillbot]

148. So many in Pink Panther Strikes Again

The interrogation scene
The fight between Clouseau and Cato with Dreyfuss spying through a periscope.
Clouseau trying to cross the moat
"Does your dog bite?"

[Haggis for Breakfast]

149. Some oldies, but goodies

"Big Trouble," from a book by Dave Barry, starring Tim Allen, Rene Russo, Stanley Tucci, Dennis Farina, Omar Epps, Jason Lee, Tom Sizemore, Janeane Garofalo, Heavy D, Johnny Knoxville, Zooey Deschanel and a lot of cameos. The story involves the Mob, a nuclear bomb, Russians, a newly-divorced man, a FSU vs. UofF football game, a garbage disposal, the Miami PD, an unhappy housewife, TSA, hit men, the FBI, the Miami Airport, Joes' Stone Crabs (the restaurant), goats, a confused dog and a psychedelic toad. When I am in desperate need of a 90 minute laugh fest, this is the DVD that always does it for me.

"Airplane"

"Captain Ron," with Martin Short, Marykay Place and Kurt Russell. Pirates, an ancient sailboat, Cuba, guerillas, and a shower scene that will make you howl.

"The Ref," with Dennis Leary. Nuff said.

"Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels."

"Spinal Tap."

"Cobra," it's not a comedy, it's a LAPD detective, good guys vs. bad guys movie. It's a vehicle for Stallone to look tough in, but the acting is SO OVER THE TOP, that it's a laugh out loud riot.

"Police Squad" all three of them. Leslie Nielson had great comedy timing. Every time.

[shanny]

153. not a movie but

the scene in Sherlock when the hopped-up title character (Benedict Cumberbatch) is reciting Henry V while shooting up his flat. Mrs Hudson disarms him.

actually, that series and particularly that episode was...epic. Smart and funny is the new sexy.

[TlalocW]

155. These 3 seconds from, "A Night at the Opera." (Marx Brothers)

TlalocW

[Basic LA]

156. When Inspector Clauseau ...

... sticks his nose in the cold-cream jar!

Played by Peter Sellers in the 1964 "A Shot in the Dark."

[red dog 1]

164. From "The Birdcage"

Gene Hackman playing Sen. Kevin Keeley
Nathan Lane, in drag, plays the mother of Val, who's going to marry Hackman's daughter.
Hackman likes "her" a lot; but after Val's real mother shows up, Hackman becomes confused.
His wife, Louise Keeley, tried to tell him that Nathan Lane isn't Val's mother, and isn't even a woman, but Hackman, as Kevin Keeley, still doesn't get it.

SEN. KEELEY
"I don't understand!"

LOUISE KEELEY
"He's a man..They're both men!"

SEN KEELEY
"Can't be, you can't be Jewish"

LOUISE KEELEY
"No, Kavin, Kevin, Kevin..THIS is a man!

SEN. KEELEY
"What?'

LOUISE KEELEY pulls off Nathan Lane's wig
"They're both MEN"

SEN. KEELEY
"I don't understand"

[MissMillie]

165. Such a hilarious movie

I love Hank Azaria in that one!

[red dog 1]

166. Hank Azaria is a gifted actor...He can play straight roles as well as funny roles

I remember him from way back in the short-lived sit-com "Herman's Head"

[BeyondGeography]

176. Lost in America, various nest egg riffs

[SaveOurDemocracy]

177. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest leaves me in a puddle every time, BUT I love the 'Doctors'

fishing scene. Oh, and Mister Harding of course.

Anything that John Lithgow says or does.

185. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Michael Caine and Steve Martin.

Dinner with Ruprecht ...

[lpbk2713]

187. The Russians are Coming (x2) has several.

One that cracks me up every time ... when the old guy turns around and says (with his New England accent) "Muriel, whatcha doin' hangin' up thaya on the wall?"

[Mendocino]

190. Emergency,

everyone to get from street!

I lost my ID too, but it wasn't in no flood.

You're just a doorman, doorman,...doorman....DOORMAN!

You ever been on a real shrimp boat? No, but I've been on a real big boat.

Pulver, Pulver...no he wouldn't have the guts.

Waiter, she has snails on her plate!

Here's a good stick to beat the lovely lady.
