Best surprise funny lines in movies and TV

I believe that was an ad-lib, too.

I’m not sure I get the mousse joke. Was that a reference to Holy Grail?

Here’s the scene.

More from AD. After getting back from Mexico:

Lindsay: “Hey, you’re back already.”
Michael: “Yeah, we won.”

I laughed for 5 minutes…

Watching an old Buffy last night Willow has just come from tending to a very ill Angel. She is talking to Oz, who is very low-key:

Willow: “He thought I was Buffy.”
Oz: “You too, huh.”

From last week’s episode of Royal Pains:

“I just spent all day trying to convince those girls that I wasn’t a douchebag but then I sent them home smelling like vinegar and water.”

When Harry Met Sally

‘I’ll have what she’s having.’

From Monsters vs. Aliens:

“Oh man it’s hot. Did it get warmer out since we were in prison? Cuz that would be a really convenient truth.” I laughed so hard at that, and nobody else did.

Another Simpsons, from that all time classic “Homer’s Phobia” when Homer is driving through Santaland and hits a deer:

Homer: D’oh
Lisa: A deer
Marge: A female deer

Sealab 2021. Two guys out swimming in the ocean. One gets eaten by a shark. The other? “So long, chum!”

I remember that scene. Laurie’s delivery is simply perfect, it really made me laugh.

Nitpick: That’s from Bart Gets an Elephant. Homer was driving through a tar pit.

The first episode of Firefly, the much not-as-loved-as-other-episodes The Train Job, had a couple of gems:

Mal: [backed up against the edge of a cliff, facing the drunks from the bar] Oh, ho-ho! There’s just an acre of you fellas, isn’t there? This is why we lost, you know. Superior numbers.
Zoë: Thanks for the reenactment, sir.
Wash: Did he just go crazy and fall asleep?

Crow: Keep the money. Use it to buy a funeral. It doesn’t matter where you go or how far you fly. I will hunt you down, and the last thing you see will be my blade.
Mal: Darn. kicks Crow into running jet intake FWOMPHSSSS

Another House gem:

They have to give an endoscopy to a patient, but for some reason can’t use any sedatives of painkillers, and Cameron is objecting.

Cameron: Do you have any idea what it feels like to have a six foot tube shoved up your rectum?
House: No, but now I have a lot more respect for whatever basketball paper you dated in college.

My all-time favorite throw-away line is from The Godfather: “Leave the gun, take the cannolis.”

Cannolis

For my money, when you’re talking about funny lines in The Godfather, you can’t beat

In The Godfather, my favorite was:

“Why don’t you tell that nice girl how you feel, Micheal? I love you, I miss you, if-a I don’t-a see you a-soon I’m-a-gonna die!”:smiley:

The Godfather was funny?

You must have forgotten this scene. :smiley: (Sorry about the commercial before the video.)

“I have a position for you on my penis.”
