1. This Is Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman and Best In Show.

All of the scenes in all of them - though the Stonehenge scene in Spinal Tap is epic.

[debm55]

3. Thank you Ocelot II. Great selections.

[applegrove]

4. Never saw Spinal Tap all the way through. I just

watched 'A Mighty Wind' on DVD and really laughed. I will have to try watching Spinal Tap again when I get the chance.

[JenniferJuniper]

31. Spinal Tap II is due out this spring.

[debm55]

63. Thank you applegrove.

[livetohike]

51. That's what I was going to post. The Stonehenge

scene is the best.

[ProfessorGAC]

55. "No, We're Not Doing Bloody Stonehenge!"

Epic is the correct word!

[electric_blue68]

101. It was ok to me BUT the Stonehenge scene was -Hilarious-!!!

I'm laughing inside picturing it.

[cloudbase]

2. In Dr. Strangelove,

the scene where Major Kong (Slim Piickens) is going through the inventory of each survival kit.

[debm55]

5. Thank you cloudbase. I agree.

[Ocelot II]

12. Or, "Gentlemen, you can't fight here! This is the War Room!"

[Harker]

23. Given the assassination of JFK, they dubbed in "Vegas" where he'd said "Dallas" in that scene. n/t

[applegrove]

6. Robert Deniro as the revolutionary air conditioner

repairman in Brazil. Have not seen it in years.

[debm55]

11. Thank you applegrove.

[Laffy Kat]

148. I also love that movie.

You don't see it on any of the streaming services.

[applegrove]

149. I don't remember much about that movie. I have not

seen it in almost 40 years.

[unblock]

7. Eddie Murphy perfectly breaks the fourth wall in "trading places"

?si=_Bap4D2jsa6kx9ID

[debm55]

13. Thank you very much for sharing with us unblock.

[Omnipresent]

8. Almost all the scenes from 'The Naked Gun', with Leslie Neilsen.

[debm55]

25. Thank you Omnipresent. I think all his movies were a laugh a minute.

[sop]

9. Charlie Chaplin's Roll Dance from 'The Gold Rush'....pure comic genius.

[debm55]

[debm55]

28. Thank you Ziggysmom. That is so darn funny.

[Butterflylady]

14. It isn't a movie but it's the only thing that make me

Laugh all the time. It's the Thanksgiving special where they are throwing live turkeys out of helicopter. Funniest thing " honestly I thought turkeys could fly. "

[unblock]

15. As god as my witness I thought turkeys could fly!

[debm55]

30. I edited my OP Thank you Butterflylady. Great scene.

[Figarosmom]

100. From WKIP IN CINNCINNATI?

That was classic

[leftieNanner]

127. WKRP!

Lots of great laughs

[lastlib]

16. Every scene in "Blazing Saddles"! n/t

[debm55]

32. Thank you lastlib. That is a movie full of laughs.

[Paladin]

42. I don't know about EVERY scene, lastlib...

...but that campfire farting footage still cracks me up, after all these years and all the times I've seen it.

[debm55]

64. Agree Thank you lastlib.

[CousinIT]

17. Interview with the Vampire - the latest one with Sam Reid

He's on a train that Claudia is on. She ran away, and he went after her. He gets to the luggage car she's hiding in and drains the porter on the way in. He is so damn campy and steps inside the door to the luggage car with the porter's head in his hand and says: "Oh, CLAUDIA!" and then tosses the porter's head up on one of the shelves.

IT CRACKS ME THE FUCK UP. Maybe there's something wrong with me, but I've watched that scene repeatedly.

Later, the conversation in the car is with Lestat, a dog in a crate in the luggage car with them, who Lestat briefly lets out to lick the porter's blood off of Lestat's hands. Lestat speaks to the dog, but the camera focuses on Claudia as Lestat says, "Get back in your cage now."

The entire scene is beautifully done, campy as shit, somehow funny (to my sick mind) and filmed perfectly.

I adore this version of Interview with the Vampire.

The one with Tom Cruise and that another whatshisname was a bore. Other film versions I've seen were bland as well. But this one—the writing is superb, and the sets, acting, and filming are masterful.

[debm55]

35. Thank you very much CousinIT. I will have to look for it . Agree with the Tom Cruise one.

[Unwind Your Mind]

74. Ooh I haven't seen that

I’m an Anne Rice fan and agree with you about the older movie

I’m watching the Mayfair witches right now, it veers off from the books quite a bit already, season one, episode 7 or 8

I’ll look for this one next

[CousinIT]

87. Interview with the vampire is going on its 3rd season.

It veers from the book somewhat too. But it’s REALLY well-done, IMO. It’s on AMC.

[happybird]

18. You're my boy, Blue!

Old School is one of my cheer-me-up movies. Never fails to make me laugh.
The tranquilizer dart scene is hilarious, as well.

Anchorman still makes me giggle, too.

[debm55]

36. Thank you very much happybird.

Rodney Dangerfield's arrival by boat.

[debm55]

40. Thank you Chipper Chat. That movie was so funny.

[dutch777]

22. Many of the scenes in As Good As it Gets with Jack Nicholson

Hard to pick a fave but the one where Jack's character tosses the neighbor's little dog down the trash chute and the building super finds him and brings him back. The dog gleefully licks his owner's face when the super tells the owner, "Yeah, he was licking the dirty diapers".

[debm55]

67. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Thank you dutch777, I remember that.

[leftyladyfrommo]

111. Thank you for reminding me of that movie.

Those were simpler times.

[debm55]

112. Yes they were

[leftyladyfrommo]

113. I wouldn't want to go back to the 50's but

I loved the hippy thing. We had so much fun. I am hoping that I get more and more lost in the past that I stop in 1967.

[debm55]

114. Thank you very much. I feel the same way sometimes.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

27. Almost any scene from My Cousin Vinny... just thinkin about that movie makes me laugh!!!

The episode where Bart imagines himself a rock star.

[debm55]

71. HAHAHAHAHA. Thank you LakeArenal for your two selections.

[Glorfindel]

34. Just about every scene in "Rat Race."

Especially anything featuring the two idiot brothers, Blaine and Dwayne (not sure of the spelling).

[debm55]

72. Thank you Glorfindel.

[nocoincidences]

38. It's a movie rarely seen, made in the Sixties

that is so outrageously politically incorrect that you have to laugh, kind of like Blazing Saddles, and not worry about the fact that it is fucking hilarious.

It's called the Ritz. It has tons of good actors in it but Rita Moreno is extraordinarily funny as Googie Gomez. She is over the top and spot on.

[debm55]

75. Thank you nocoincidences. That is over the top

[Sequoia]

39. Marx Brothers in A Night at the Opra

When they were moving the furniture from room to room.

[debm55]

So funny

[debm55]

88. Thank you very much FullySupportDems. I remember watching as a kid. Loved her show

[FullySupportDems]

95. Me too!

It was a golden age of television I think. I loved her show, and Sonny and Cher and Laugh-In. So many good ones. And Mash. We saw some great shows. All for the cost of one tv set, and on just a handful of stations. So different now.

[Rhiagel]

96. The scene in Barney Miller where they're all eating the hash brownies.

Talk about "enlightened" cops...

[debm55]

105. Thank you Rhiagel. I agree. Always watched Barney Miller.

[Upthevibe]

129. Rhiagel .................

One of my favorites too....

Wojo to Barney: "To err is human to forgive is divine. Forgive me Barney. Be Divine."

[LogDog75]

98. Monthy Python's Funniest Joke in the World

I believe the sketch is from their movie And Now for Something Completely Different. Actually, there are two sketches. The sketch is of a man in the room trying to write a joke. He comes up with one and dies of laughter. His mother or wife comes into the room and is shocked to see him dead. She looks at what he wrote and dies of laughter. Soon, the police have cordoned off the home and try to isolate the joke. The British Army breaks the joke down into single words and translates it to German. British troops are running toward Nazi troops each saying their word and the Germans begin laughing their heads off and dying.

[debm55]

106. Thank you LogDog75, I agree---so funny.

[ailsagirl]

99. Practically everything on "Barney Miller"

Superb writing
Lovable characters (except Scanlon)
Subtle acting, which is the best kind for a comedy show (IMO)
😄

[debm55]

107. Agree ailsagirl. One of my favorite shows when I was yournger.

[ailsagirl]

124. It won the highly-coveted Peabody Award in 1979

"The Peabody Award is a highly regarded award in the media industry. A panel of scholars, critics, and media professionals select the winners each year. They consider content that was aired or distributed during the previous year."
From Google

[electric_blue68]

102. So Much of Mrs Doubtfire! Mash. One particular scene in Lou Grant.

For instance:
The social worker visiting Mr Hillard.
The scenes w Mrs D and "Dude Look Like A Lady" song over.
Mr Hillard describing to Mr Lundy (TV boss) how boring the Science guy was, and how he would do the dinosaur info.

MASH
Hawkeye, ribbing Frank, later Charles. The time Hawkeye jumped on the mess hall table to demand was it ?better food. Klinger and his shenanigans.
So much more!

Lou Grant (The Newspaper Show)
This scene is personal to me.
The production team doing old fashion paste ups, and mechanical goes on strike.

So Lou, and his staff have to do them instead. They sit on these high stools, working on these slanted desk tops, where the newspaper's thick paper "boards" are put to add the headlines, subs, text, ads, and indicator places for photos to be dropped in later at the printers.

Copy is generally parsed out space wise but never completely accurate. Thus the editor comes in, and directs - cut and paste editing; sentences, a word or two. Like all the way down to "commas", and "periods " as the tiniest adjustments! They on TV, and I in real life weld an exacto knife precisely!

While not remembering the exact name I will make one up...
One of Lou's associates drops a word on the floor. He's bending over on the stool looking for it, maaaaybe has to get down on the floor...
"I've lost The Queen of England", he announces. Baaaahahahaaaaa!

[debm55]

110. Thank you very much electric_blue68 I enjoyed all three of your selections.

104. The Holy Grail -

The peasant gives King Arthur a lesson in political science.

“Strange women, lyin about in ponds distributin’ swords, is no basis for a system of government!”

[debm55]

108. Thank you very much perfessor. Great scene.

[lark]

116. Taxi, Jim Ignatowski taking a drivers test asking his friends a question and the answer is slower.

His response to that is pure comic genius, I can watch that over and over and will always laugh.

[debm55]

118. I know which one you are talking about and everytime I see it I LOL Thank you Lark.

[Niagara]

117. I'm sure there's plenty more that I could list

1. Mr. Mom- 220, 221...whatever it takes

2. Meet the Parents- Milking Cats

4. Half Baked- Scarface quits his job

5. The Birdcage- How to act like a man

6. The Birdcage- Naked Greek bowls

7. Dogma- Behold the Metatron

8. Django Unchained- Broomhilda reunited with her husband Django. The quote "You silver tongued devil you" is what makes me laugh

9. Groundhog Day- Too early for flapjacks?

Various scenes and quotes from Death Becomes Her, Old School and Back to the Future movies.

[debm55]

120. You're welcome, Debbie. I'm happy that you laughed at all!

[debm55]

[Upthevibe]

130. debm55....

I have a lot of favorites but this is definitely one of them:

[debm55]

143. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. I remember watching that on television. Everytime that scene comes up , I laugh. I't a classic.

[Pris]

131. Planes, Trains and Automobiles

They are driving the burned out car and get pulled over by police. John Candy says, "She doesn't look like much but she runs."

[debm55]

144. Thank you very much Pris. Also welcome to DU

[KitFox]

132. 😂Laughing all through these posts. One that

hasn’t been mentioned: 9 to 5 They think they poisoned the boss with rat poison “She thought it was Skinny and Sweet. When they have the boss (Dabney Coleman) kidnapped and hooked up to the garage door opener mechanism. Jane Fonda’s ex husband shows up and she tells him she’s into “M&M” and says “And I smoke pot!” Lily Tomlin, Dolly, and Jane. What a fun combination. Lily Tomlin on Laugh In and she and Jane Fonda in “Grace and Frankie”.

[debm55]

142. Thank you very much. KitFox.for the scenes in the movie.

[yellowdogintexas]

134. some of my favorites

The Great Race: all of Professor Fate's attempts to destroy The Great Leslie and of course the pie fight
Blazing Saddles is just one long laugh, but I love the toll gate scene. It is like a live action Warner Brothers cartoon !

In Victor, Victoria Julie Andrews sets off a riot in a restaurant when she smuggles in a cockroach so she can find it in her food and get her meal free. Also, when Robert Preston steps in for Julie in "The Shady Dame From Seville".

[debm55]

141. Thank you very much yellowdogintexas . I have seen all three, and I agree with you.

[Jeebo]

135. There's a scene in "Bringing Up Baby" (1938, Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn)

The question: "Why are you looking for George?" (George is the dog.) Cary Grant responds, "Because he knows where my intercostal clavicle is!" That scene just cracks me up every time, no matter how many times I've seen that hilarious movie.

I'm not going to try to explain that. You just have to watch the movie, to get the context and understand the humor.

— Ron

[debm55]

140. Thank you very much, Jeebo.

[sarge1943]

136. "Biggus Dickus" scene, The Life of Brian

[debm55]

139. Thank you very much, sarge1943

[vanamonde]

146. Christmas Vacation

"Sparky" Griswold's rant when he opens his measley bonus check.

Also, "Shitter was full!"

[debm55]

147. HAHAHAHAHAHHAH. I agree. Thank you vanamonde.
