Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle?
No, Hackman and Boyle. The hermit scene.
My favourite scene from “Raising Arizona”:
Police Squad! - Locksmith
I hope animation is OK in this thread. The Animaniacs - Who’s On Stage?
I prefer this one.
Oh yes, Porky’s is one of the funniest movies ever made (for males of a certain age at least).
The ‘Lassie’ scene got a big laugh in the cinema too.
As I commented 11 years ago, for my money, this clip from Everybody Loves Raymond ranks up there with “Yes you did, you invaded Poland!” It’s set up, blocked and filmed PERFECTLY! You have Ray’s and Robert’s horrified reaction, Amy’s “uh-oh” expression, then the s-l-o-w reveal of Marie.
I love long setups.
From The Dick Van Dyke Show, “All About Eavesdropping”. The punch line comes 90 seconds later.
Start.
You all know how this ends: Ramona asks to share credit, and Sheldon angrily says, “GET OUT”. This follows.
One of my favourite Father Ted moments:
The Four Yorkshiremen sketch from At Last the 1948 Show (in 1967):
Often this sketch is referred to as being by Monty Python. Monty Python didn’t do it in their original show. They did it in some charity benefit shows they put on after their show left the air:
I first saw a version of this sketch on a show called Dean Martin Presents the Golddiggers in London which aired in the summer of 1970, where it was changed into a two-person sketch with Charles Nelson Reilly and Marty Feldman doing it.
Thanks for that, I had forgotten. I’ll nominate any of the court room scenes from The Odd Coiuple
SNL did it too.
Key and Peele Respect!
I think the best version was in the Secret Policeman’s Balls film, with Rowan Atkinson and three Pythons. Which reminds me…
Peter Cook was priceless:
“One Leg Too Few” has perhaps the single funniest, and most clever line ever in a skit:
What episode? A couple of Monty Python members were hosts. Is the sketch available online?
They did it a few times. Four guys trying to outdo each other with tales of bad things. They’d pause and sing a line from a song, like, Even though we ain’t got money.
I hope someone else remembers
Are you thinking of ‘Hee Haw’ ???
If I weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all, Gloom Despair and Agony on Me!
This is a funny sketch, but I don’t see any nontrivial resemblance to the Four Yorkshiremen sketch.
