I nominate two. The first time I saw “Save bandit!” while bingeing _The Office_, I had to pause the stream for about five minutes to recover. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/ZOavX5qYRTQ/maxresdefault.jpg "SAVE BANDIT") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOavX5qYRTQ) Second one. “Fold it in” isn’t as literally laugh-out-loud hilarious, but no matter how many times I see it, it makes me laugh. “David, I cannot show you everything” is just so . . . so perfect.

An episode of _The Goodies_ (a British comedy) in 1975 apparently killed somebody laughing. > **[Kung Fu Kapers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Fu_Kapers)** > > "Kung Fu Kapers" is an episode of the British comedy television series The Goodies. It caused a viewer to die from laughing. > This episode is also known as "Ecky Thump".

A couple of scenes and episodes of _Coupling_ spring to mind. The dinner party scene at the (ahem) climax of “Inferno” in which Jack tries to explain the plot of a porn film is just brilliant. The entire episode of “The Girl With Two Breasts” is brilliant. And I forget which episode it was, but the monologue about cushions is a classic. I think _The IT Crowd_ has been mentioned already…for me, there’s little than can reduce me to hysterical tears faster than “I’m…leg disabled.” Jen’s disbelieving double takes at Roy (who’s having to fake needing a wheelchair) and Moss (somehow pretending to be a bartender) are comic gold.

Best thing about that one is it never stops being funny. I’ve probably seen that movie fifty times and every time I crack up into helpless giggles. Also “Somebody’s gonna have to go back and get a shitload of dimes!” Classic. > [@griffin1977](#): > > Not that I hate Meaning of Life Mr Creosote. > [@veryfrank](#): > > The stoning scene in Life of Brian gets my vote. (“Who threw that?” “I thought we’d started.” “Go to the back…there’s always one, isn’t there?”) “Makin’ it worse for myself? How can it get any worse? Jehovah, Jehovah!” _starts kicking sand_ Slays me, every time. ---

I know Jackass Forever is not a scripted comedy, but I have not laughed in 2022 as hard as I did watching Jackass Forever. I could not believe it at times. Very funny movie. ---

Jerry Lewis in “The Ladies’ Man”. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/QxuUi7qDcIE/hqdefault.jpg "Jerry Lewis as "The Ladies Man" - houseguest #1") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxuUi7qDcIE) I can’t find it, but there is another scene later in the movie where Herbie (Jerry Lewis) is working on the elevator engine. His hands are covered in grease, when the doorbell rings. He opens the door to see this same guy, Willard C. “Killer” Gainsborough (Buddy Lester)… DRESSED IN A WHITE SUIT!
