- BULLSHIT! Just stop this thing! I order you, STOOOOPPP!
History of the World, Part 1
Some Leslie Nielsen police squad:
Clerk’s
Animal House
“The city’s no place for a woman… but pretty men go thar.”
One of the greatest sight gags ever filmed: The Nazi Pinto falling from higher than the John Hancock building in The Blues Brothers.
The sheer absurdity of it – they drove off an unfinished highway off-ramp and fell thousands of feet – had me absolutely busting a gut the first time I saw it.
The checkers scene in Bad Santa. That kid is a comedic genius.
My favorite comedy, by far, is Life of Brian. So i easily go with What Have the Romans Ever Done For Us
The Nazi scene in Death to Smoochy.
Note on link - the link is to a YouTube clip of this scene but it’s been dubbed in German (I couldn’t find it on there in English), but I think the German actually adds something to it.
“You get me my Cheez Whiz, boy?”
Dick Shawn as Hitler in The Producers:
“Du liebe mir, du liebe mir nicht. Du liebe mir, du liebe mir nicht…du liebe mir nicht!”
“I liebe ya, baby. I liebe ya. Now liebe me alone.”

The bank robbery scene in Raising Arizona
-
"Oh yeah? Well, I just happen to have Marshall McLuhan right here!
You beat me to it.
John Candy: “Oh, they must be drunk. How do they know where we’re going?”
Steve Martin: “Yeah! How would they know!”
The expressions on Steve Martin’s face, going from puzzlement to terror as it’s slowly dawning on him what’s happening are priceless.
The mirror scene from ‘Duck Soup’
The famous Laurel and Hardy Piano move scene, and the payoff at 14 minutes, yeah its quite long, but its legendary.
This isn’t a movie scene, its not even a regular tv show scene, its Tim Conway going off script in a live show, the comedy timing is just exquisite, just watch how he waits each time to give his next line, just watching the reactions of the rest of the cast is a treat.
The last line though just destroys them, its got to be one of the funniest ad lib lines ever
B.B. King: Did you know that every 7 minutes, a black person is born in this country with no soul?
The popcorn you’re eating has been pissed in. Film at 11.
Dick Shawn as Sylvester in It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad world:
“I’m coming to save ya, momma!”
Oh, absolutely!
Numerous scenes from Monty Python’s Life of Brian rank among the funniest ever as far as I’m concerned.
I’ve watched this about a hundred times, and it cracks me up every time. It just cracked me up again watching it on youtube:
Biggus Dickus
And of course, the best.stoning.ever:
The Stoning.
It’s clear, then. Robin Hood: Men In Tights aside, Mel Brooks is damn funny.
“I can SEE! WHAM …Nope. Guess I was wrong.”
Seriously, this whole thread could be purely made up of quotes from Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein and I for one wouldn’t feel cheated.
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.
And the thread wouldn’t be complete without: “Nobody’s perfect.”
“I don’t want to say over the phone. All I can tell you is that I killed her last night.”
