Whenever I just want a laugh I watch the scene in **Rat Race** where the air traffic control tower pulls the jeep up the tower to the strains of “Hall of the Mountain King” by Edvard Grieg. The rest of the movie is somewhat funny but I find this truly hilarious. ---

The scene from _The Pink Panther Strikes Again_ where Inspector Clouseau has just destroyed a piano… Mrs. Leverlilly: You’ve ruined that piano! Clouseau: What is the price of one piano compared to the terrible crime that’s been committed here? Mrs. Leverlilly: But that’s a priceless Steinway! Clouseau: Not anymore! ---

Tim Conway is a comedy god. My contribution is from Anchorman, when Ron Burgundy jumps into a bear pit in order to rescue his lady. The first words out of his mouth are, ‘‘I immediately regret this decision!’’ ---

Other than Pythons, I’d say I can watch Dumb & Dumber any time [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/YHDhls0kJYM/hqdefault.jpg "Dumb & Dumber - Bar scene, Waiting for Mary.") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHDhls0kJYM) The whole scene is great but the ending is so over the top but hillarious 😃 ---

> [@shantih](#): > > One that just hit me on the second viewing is from the end of _Up_. Carl and Russell are sitting on the curb outside the ice cream shop, happily licking their cones and playing the game Russell used to play with his Dad before he turned distant. One counts each red car that goes by, the other counts all the blue cars, and the one who ends up with the higher number wins. Dug the dog is sitting loyally beside them. > > After a few lines from Carl and Russell – “I see a red car.” “There’s a blue one!” Dug chimes in with: “I see a grey one.” > > It totally slipped past me the first time I saw the movie and so it hit me extra hard when I _got_ it. Dug is a dog! He can only see black and white! He saw a grey car because he can’t identify the colors! I think I giggled for 5 minutes. The first line from Alpha literally had me laughing so hard I nearly fell out of my chair. I was having a fit. Shear comic genius. ---

In the French Bond spoof, _OSS 117: Cairo: Nest of Spies_, our hero is bedding a beautiful femme fatale. He lays her down on the bed, kissing passionately. The music swells as the camera slowly pans away from them, across the room… and onto a mirror in which we can see 117 frantically dry humping the woman’s leg as he fumbles with his fly. The camera does a double take, then quickly looks at the floor. ---

So many from Christmas Vacation “Merry Christmas, shitter was full!” “Hallelujah and holy shit!
