Favorite scenes in comedy movies ...

Great scene, he mimics the singing frog bit from the cartoon One Froggy Evening

 

Yes a great scene.

Of course you meant Peaceful Easy Feeling


Play It Again Sam - In Woody's apartment when the first date arrives and Woody tries to impress.

 

I can't watch that scene without clenched teeth.

 

The Jon Lovitz "Hitler" scene in the the turd of a movie "Rat Race" is by far the funniest thing I've seen in a movie the last ten years.

 

Spinal Tap- Stonehedge

"And the children danced, oh how they danced..."

 

Several scenes in Bananas: the one where Woody goes to the drugstore and the cashier loudly requests a price check on Orgasm magazine, the pantomime bit where he's accosted by muggers (including Sly Stallone) on the subway, and the final scene where Howard Cosell is giving a running account of Woody and Louise Lasser in bed.

 

CLASSIC!

 

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels "Can I go to the restroom" scene is excellent. Actually a lot of great scenes for one movie. Michael Cane and Steve Martin at their best

 

Better Off Dead is fantastic. Catholic School Girls in Trouble always gets me laughing like crazy, and usually the people who I'm watching with haven't seen it before and go "wha?"

I've always thought that the Producers was the definitive comment on postmodernism, even if it was made before that term or worldview was widely known/held...

 

My favorite line from that film: "Comb the desert!"

Return of the Pink Panther:

Clouseau--"How can a blind man be a lookout?"
Dreyfus--"How can an idiot be a police man?"

Shot In The Dark:

Dreyfus--"Francois? Call a doctor...ad help be fide by doze!"

Arsenic & Old Lace: "Oh no, Johnny please! Not the Melbourne method! Ew...two HOURS!"

 

I'm a god, not the God, but I'm a god.-Groundhog Day
Yeeehaa! Yaahoooo! Whooeeee!-Slim Pickens riding the bomb down on Russia
I'm from the government, I'm here to help-what movie was this is?
Blame Canada-South Park Movie
Sanity Claus? Sanity Claus? Nooo-you no fool me-I know that there's no such thing as a Sanity Claus. -Chico Marx
-Harpo Marx

 

Let's not forget the whole "vessel with the pestle/chalice from the palace" bit in The Court Jester.

Oh, and how about Stan, Ollie, and Jimmy Finlayson tearing each other's car and house apart, respectively, in Big Business?

 

Big Business is one of the funniest comedies ever!

What's a gub? - love it. , but the marching band is especially funny to me as I've played in them. I also like the interview with the parents wearing Groucho masks to protect their identities

 

Woody holds up a bank; he hands the teller a note that's supposed to say "I have a gun". He misspells "gun" as "gub". It's hilarious!

I think this'll get a spin in my DVD player this weekend....

JEFF!

 

Forgot Jack Benny imitating the Nazi General and pasting on the goatee with the unconscious guy in "To Be Or Not To Be." Hilarious.

JEFF!

 

Being There - Chauncy Gardner telling Eve "I Like To Watch, Eve"
Chauncy (Peter Sellers) meaning TV of course, but Eve misinterprets the comment .

Tommy Boy - "That's Gonna Leave A Mark" !

 

"You tell Raphael..." - the outtakes are hilarious.

JEFF!

 

How about the bit in My Cousin Vinny, where Pesci has to explain to Fred Gwynne what "yutes" are?

And has anyone mentioned "Springtime For Hitler" yet?

 

The Commitments: "Say it loud - I'm black and I'm proud"
Diner - Daniel Stern and the art of proper record organization
High Fidelity - reorganizing the record collection

 

The Three Amigos-------the scene where the amigos are in the Mexican bar and launch into 'My Little Buttercup.' I never laughed so hard in a movie theatre in my life. It took me completely by surprise. I knew they were going to sing a song, but, my gosh, those lyrics.

One of my all time favorite comedy movies, and grossly underappreciated. I don't think I have ever heard a better score in a comedy---from Randy Newman's hilarious and brilliant songs to the authentic western score by......wasn't it Elmer Bernstein??? To actually get a composer who has scored classic westerns to provide the music for this picture was just plain brilliant.

I believe Randy Newman actually had a hand in the script, didn't he? I know Lorne Michaels of SNL did.

 

"Lost In America". Albert Brooks explaining to his wife played by Julie Haggerty the "nest egg concept" after she blows their entire savings in a gambling binge at a Las Vegas casino. Anyone remember this flick?
