Scenes that have made you fall over laughing.
Of course, it’s always funnier to fall off the couch laughing when someone is sitting next to you. This one made me and my son completely lose it—seriously, one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on a TV Show:

This next clip is one my husband and I nearly died laughing over:
After it was over, and we’d stopped laughing, he said, “That’s funnier when you’ve actually had that happen to you.” I practically fell on the floor laughing. He used to drive an old ’58 Chevy that was literally falling apart. He once had the hood flip up and block his vision while he was driving. He also once took a corner and saw his own wheel go rolling past. He had time to say, “Is that my wheel?” before the the car tipped over.

Oh and I meant to say: Happy Friday, everyone.
Rat Race.
My father-in-law and I watched this movie together and both of us just about lost it we were laughing so hard. Even for a few hours after the movie, I’d think about a scene and start laughing uncontrollably.
The scene where Jon Levin’s character is pressured into taking his daughter to the Barbie museum, and the ensuing chaos that follows … I think that’s the one that made me laugh the most. But there’s a lot more in there.
Then again, it might just be me. I’ve suggested the movie to others and they don’t seem to enjoy it as much.
I know there have been a few, but the one I can remember off hand is the toilet scene in Dumb and Dumber. I was in high school at the time so I’m not that embarrassed that I laughed so hard at a poo joke. But it’s still a funny scene.
Rat Race was good – especially when Seth Green was hanging onto the balloon and hitting cows.
Mine is the boardroom scene in Liar Liar. When he took that guy’s toupee off and stuck it to the wall I swear I couldn’t breathe for the next 10 minutes. I cried because the laughing hurt so much.
And I love pooping/farting scenes. The “Who does number two work for?” from Austin Powers was nearly the same reaction. And in Dumb & Dumber when Jeff Daniels is on the toilet, stomping his legs, and then the toilet is broken (I laugh thinking about it). And also that scene in “White Chicks” when he goes to the women’s bathroom and lets it all out in a stall.
The Happy Gilmore fist fight with Bob Barker.
You guys are a bunch of philistines. Here’s a good one.
The scene in Superbad where Seth talks about his childhood drawing issues.
The chase scene and the courtroom scene from “What’s Up, Doc?” is usually enough to get any group of YM-aged boys ROTFL. I find it hilarous too, but these days I seem to laugh more at their reactions that to the movie itself.
The Columbian drug lord scene from Bedazzled. Every darn time.
Every other scene in “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”
I like the puppet vomit scene in TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE and when Ben Stiller gets his “pork and beans” caught in a zipper in THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY.
Any scene involving Tom Hanks in A league of their own. Start this clip at about the 8:00 mark and prepare to wet your pants.
I thought this scene from the Dick Van Dyke Show was funny enough to deserve its own blog entry. (And just like Susan’s husband, all these things have actually happened to me.)
The first time I saw the Matt Foley sketch I was in tears.
Also, from the Will Ferrell collection:
“I’ll be honest, I could have used a little more cowbell.”
“I drive a Dodge Stratus!”
“If the moon were made of spare ribs, would you eat it?”
Also, Brian Regan’s I Walked on the Moon DVD is priceless. I hurt after watching it.
Here’s a clip. Click on the Doctor bit.
Most episodes of Curb your Enthusiasm make me laugh out loud, but the last thing I remember really making lose it was the Family Guy episode when they all drink Syrup of Ipecac to see who can go the longest without puking. I love that scene and have it permanently saved on my TIVO.
Unfortunately I could not find a clip to link to.
Stripes: “It’s like going to Wisconsin!” What a fantastic movie.
The scene in Blues Brothers when John Belushi is finally confronted by Carrie Fisher and takes off his glasses, does a bunch of BS, kisses Fisher, and then drops her in the mud and walks off.
The first time I saw the Patrick Swayze / Chris Farley as Chippendale Dancers sketch.
John Cleese in A Fish Called Wanda when he’s naked and the home owners came in.
#15: if you’re going to bring in stand up, then Jim Gaffigan has to be mentioned. He’s funniest when you watch his entire routine—taking bits out of context doesn’t work quite as well. But our family constantly sing “hot pockets” to each other. “Is your hot pocket cold in the middle?” “It’s frozen. But it can also be served boiling lava hot.”
Demetri Martin is also good.
Gaffigan is great. He did an entire set on bacon the other night on Letterman. “How many bacon jokes does this guy have?”
Demetri Martin is one of my favorites, too. “Whenever I see a guy with no arms and no legs being hanged, I start yelling out letters.”
Amen re: Team America. Here’s the clip. Skip to about 1:45 though, otherwise you’re going to be treated to a whooooooole lot of profanity and the ideology of the entire movie. Still immensely funny though.
Wow. That Tommy Boy scene is the exact scene I thought of when I read the title of this post. I literally fell off my chair laughing the first time I saw that.
You have good taste Susan.
The scene in Soapdish when Kevin Kline is trying to read the words off the teleprompter without his glasses is really good. My wife and I often quote it.
“I’m afraid she has a case of brake fluid. Um, bran flavor? Brain fever!”
I’m going to enjoy watching all the clips posted here tonight. =)
The bit in “Young Frankenstein” where Gene Wilder attempts to stop the rotating bookcase by blocking it with his body gets me every time. The scene is perfectly edited so that the carnage of what happens to Wilder takes place off-screen, but only at the last minute. Then you get the reaction to what must have happened on Teri Garr’s face, and it’s all just so perfect.
The Columbian drug lord scene from Bedazzled.
Huh? Bedazzled is one of my favorite movies but I don’t remember this at all. Unless you’re talking about the Harold Ramis remake, which I have not seen.
The part in Young Frankenstein where they roll in the hay cracks me up. As does the scene in Blazing Saddles where the guy punches the horse. I don’t like Blazing Saddles (especially the ending) but that’s a great scene.
I liked the Bruce Almighty revenge scenes:
rival newscaster scene
confrontation scene with gang members
“You men are all alike. Seven or eight quick ones and you’re off with the boys. To boast and brag. You better keep your mouth shut! Oh, I think I love him….”
Madeline Kahn was one of a kind.
‘Puttin’ on the Ritz’ from Young Frankenstein.
“Huh? Bedazzled is one of my favorite movies but I don’t remember this at all. Unless you’re talking about the Harold Ramis remake, which I have not seen.”
Yup. The remake. Not the scene that cracks me up, but it’s close: http://youtube.com/watch?v=sw6rOTD_VKU
