View Full Version : Funniest movie or funniest scene in a movie?
Funniest scene in a movie - seeing Brad Pitt and George C cry over an Oprah episode (Oceans 13). That was so funny!:D
Funny movie scenes, you have to see Jack Nicholson in 'Something's Gotta Give' and of course the two best movies of the present era: Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers.
De Niro and Dustin Hoffman are totally brilliant in the second one, and Barbra Streisand as a sex therapist telling the story of Ben Stiller's character's circumcision, just hilarious.
This kid is really funny I laugh just looking at him doing this! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXRBELZpKak)
This is from Meet the Fockers.
Then there's 8 Heads in a Duffel bag - that's just funny from start to finish.
This is what hitmen do with nasty old women! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L46bzDt8kGU&feature=related)
Then there's Weekend at Bernies, the funniest of all of those - the first one, the others were just silly.
Little Fockers is coming soon ;)
@Vebidia
Thx for reminding me - those two (Meet x 2) were just brilliant!!!
Certain scenes in Something about Mary, and now I'm thinking about American Pie movies - also good!
Not a movie, but Homer when he heard they're going to Little China, said in the Simpsons "Wait, I'm just going to get my little passport"
And in the Batman movie "The Dark Night", the Joker said he likes a woman with a little fight (in her), then Batman says, "Then you'll love me". Not the funniest. but pretty good.
The Dark Knight is just brilliant all round!
I don't like Something About Mary but that could be because I don't like Diaz.
Other funny movies, there's a WWII one that the older folk might remember, it's called "Don't look now we're being shot at!" with Terry Thomas as an English Officer in France.
That movie has got some really funny un-PC moments.
And Carry on Cleo, and Carry on up the Khyber - also un-PC but very funny!

I agree with the carry on movies - they were hilarious - wish we could see them again. It was great to see the ad for the carry on collection a while back. Please any chance we could see those on MNET Stars??!!! Christmas Present?!
I think they're too politically incorrect for today's audiences.
But we can try - Carry on Cleo is really funny.
The Carry On movies, together with a weekly magazine, are currently being sold by CNA at R99.95 each. Building up the entire collection of about 30 films would eventually cost a few thousand rand, which is definitely overpriced as far as I am concerned. So come on, M-Net Stars, give us a Carry On Festival, including the early black-and-white classics such as Carry On Sergeant, Carry On Nurse and Carry On Screaming!
Does anyone remember the “Doctor” films starring Dirk Bogarde? There was Doctor in The House, Doctor in Love, Doctor At Large and several others. I also enjoyed every movie that Terry Thomas appeared in. Good old British humour!
American comedies from the 1980s I enjoyed were the “Porky’s” movies, which had nothing to do with the pig of the same name! They were banned by the puritanical South African film censors, but could be seen at Sun City or obtained under-the-counter from certain video stores. Hilarious stuff!
In similar vein to Porky’s, there was the Lemon Popsicle series from Israel. They were very funny and had a terrific soundtrack of rock ‘n roll hits. Alas, they also proved to be too much for the Censor Board. Today’s kids have no idea of the stringent censorship that ruled their parents’ lives, which is why so many of us get upset at even the slightest television cuts or bleeps.
The original Pink Panther series, starring Peter Sellers, was also brilliant. The second installment, entitled ”A Shot in The Dark”, had some very funny moments in a nudist camp, in which Inspector Clouseau attempts to conceal his nakedness with a guitar (I think) but trips and goes flying into the pool.
While I also enjoy much modern comedy, it is always the old movies that spring to mind first. While the old films such as the Carry Ons were risqué, many modern movies are just vulgar. But that is just my opinion…
You're spot on on this one Dennis, but again, I have to disagree about Porky's but I'll give you that one a lot of men do like it, it was a bit too rough for me.
Terry Thomas was a great comedian.
And the original Pink Panther movies, Peter Sellers was hilarious, trying to remake them with that American, I can't think of his name, is just wrong. And what about Peter Sellers in The Party:

@ Verbidia –
Yes, the opening scene of The Party was probably the funniest start to any movie ever. Thanks for reminding me about it. Birdie num-num!

Ditto to all of the above posts. I thought that Carry on Sergeant, maybe because it was the first one I saw, was the best of the lot.
Why can Multichoice not obtain some of these older British comedies and show say one or two a week?
These are the types of movies that a lot of us would love to be able to see on TCM. Along with the other genres of course.
I don't watch TCM anymore because they seem to show the same 7 movies every day,
There are some old movies I really loved until TCM made me hate them.
But I do agree why is it that some old movies just never get shown and others get shown ad nauseum? The rights I suppose.
There's another funny movie. The original In-Laws with Alan Arkin and Peter Falk.
