Gutbusting hilarious film scenes

While not a film scene, I love the scene in Taxi where the Reverand Jim is taking his drivers test with the rest of the cast coaching him. "What does a yellow light mean"? "Slow down". "What..........does..........a..........yellow...........light...........mean?" "SLOW DOWN" etc. Had me rolling on the floor when I first saw it.

Two literal gut-busters are the baked bean scene in "Blazing Saddles". I watched this at school with other boys aged 13 - 17. The next scene was drowned out by the hysterical laughter. It's not always the sophisticated humur that gets you.

Mr Creosote in "The Meaning of Life" (as Michael mentioned) The Wahfer theen mint kills me.

 

Agreed. The Edgar Kennedy hat-swapping scene in Soup, the stateroom and contract negotiation scenes in Opera, and the "tootsie-frootsie ice cream" scene in Races are especially effective for making my sides ache.

The scene in My Cousin Vinny when the defense attorney (Austin Pendleton) is trying to make his opening statement and can't stop stuttering.

Another one from Woody: the scene in Radio Days when the rabbi (Kenneth Mars) discovers that the kid (Seth Green) has stolen collection money for the Jewish National Fund, and he and the kid's parents (Michael Tucker, Julie Kavner) all take turns hitting him and arguing over who's best qualified to mete out discipline.

 

Movie:What's up Doc. Scene: A man being chased by trash cans.

"It's only a waffer theen!"

 

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - the scene at the table.
The movie is one brilliant scene.

 

A scene in "Clockwise", a lesser known John Cleese work, where he gets his car stuck in the mud. I laughed so hard in the theater that my wife actually left out of embarrassment--and for her that's saying a lot, since I'm usually the one laughing loudest already. I've only seen the movie that one time, so I don't know how I'd react now. Perhaps it was just a confluence of time and place and mindset.

My parents went to Blazing Saddles during its original theater run, and the entire theater was rolling the aisles on the scene. As an eight year old, I think this was one of my first tear inducing comedy experiences. I mean -- this scene actually physically hurt me from a laughter standpoint. Good stuff.

 

John--it's just as funny with repeated viewings! I used to have the VHS version and, foolishly, I lent it to a friend. It was the last time I saw that one! Great movie though.

"The sign... on the back of the car... said 'Critters Of HOLLYWOOD,' you dumb ****!"

 

Love and Death. Woody and Diane, impersonating Don Francisco and his sister, being introduced to Napoleon's aide.

Aide: "It's a greater honor for me."

W: "No, no, it's a greater honor for me."

Aide: "No, it's a greater honor for me."

W: "Well, perhaps you're right, it is a greater honor for you."

Aide: "And you must be Don Francisco's sister."

D: "No, no, you must be Don Francisco's sister!"

 

My favorite actor - John Cusack in "Say Anything" as Lloyd Dobbler, explaining what he wants to do with his life:

"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought or processed, or repair anything sold, bought or processed--you know--as a career. I don't want to do that. My father's in the Army. He wants me to join, but I can't work for that corporation. Um...so what I've been doing lately is kickboxing, which is a new sport, but I think it's got a good future."

 

Good one! I always thought Woody and Diane were "channeling" Groucho and Chico for that scene.

More Woody: the scene in Take the Money and Run where the chain gang is holed up in the old lady's apartment and the sheriff's deputy arrives and questions them. The specific part that never fails to crack me up is when one of the convicts has to answer the call of nature, forcing the whole group to shuffle into the bathroom en masse.

 

The "Mighty Joint" scene from "History of the World - Part I"

This is also one of my favorites!

Leslie Nielsen is in most of my favorite gut busters. The, "and don't call me Shirley," scene from, "Airplane," is one of his best. His reply is so straight-faced, when the line sinks in -- damn funny! And there's just so many from, "The Naked Gun," it's hard to think of all of them. The pistachio scene is right up there, him and Kennedy at the stakeout with red fingers, then Nielsen not being able to open his squad car door.

 

Or that poor VW van that tips over from being rammed so many times. Or this?

Who are you?
I-i-i-i am (H)ugh.
Stop saying that!!

That whole movie is 100% silly fun.

"There once was a plaid overnight bag..."

 

In 'Ghost World' where the Kung Fu dude with the mullet gets kicked out of the 7-11 for not having a t-shirt on. "Rock and Roll, Man! Freedom of Speech!"

In 'High Fidelity' where Jack Black puts on his Monday morning mix tape and starts pantomiming to 'Walking on Sunshine'

In 'Clerks' where the guy behind the counter starts reciting all the video titles a customer has overdue, including the pornos.

In 'It Happened One Night' where the bus driver keeps saying to the wisecracking Clark Gable, "Oh Yeah?" "Oh Yeah?' and Gable finally says, "OK, ya got me. Yeah!"

In 'Sunset Blvd' where the loan shark enforcers come to roust William Holden in his apartment and as one of them threatens to break his bones he replies sardonically, "You say the cutest things."

That is a great scene!! Forgot about that one.

 

Coming to America

"I'd like you all to welcome to the stage tonight, a guy that you all know as Joe the Policeman, from the 'Whats Going Down' episode of 'Thats My Momma', put your hands together for Jackson Height's own...Mr Randy Watson!"

"I'd like to thank Reverand Brown. He has been my Reverend ever since I was a little boy and I love him dearly. Round of applause for my band Sexual Chocolate, they play so nice, don't you agree?"

 

The last scene in Martin Scorsese's AFTER HOURS.
