> [@burpo\_the\_wonder\_mutt](#): > > The original “The Taking of Pelham One Two Three” has some of the funniest black comedy dialogue, EVER. The first 37 seconds of [this scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKt3TZ08CYI) make me roll on the floor, every single time. But the whole movie is almost hysterically funny. Love me some black comedy. “How the hell you supposed to run a goddamn railroad without swearing?!” ---

You may be familiar with Harold Lloyd’s iconic [Safety Last](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEcTjhUN_7U) scene. But, this _variation of the theme_ scene from Feet First ([part 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nVzewhsmM0) [part 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkjoubNNyB8)), though including some sign-of-the-time racial stereotyping, is equally funny. He’s pretty funny in a car, too ([Hot Water](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMneroBlKho)). I can’t think of many comics who’ve given more to their craft than [Lloyd](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Lloyd), doing most of his own stunts and even losing a thumb and finger doing a publicity stunt. ---

Another vote here for the Birdie Num Num scene in The Party. It gets me every time. ---

This short clip of the incomparable W.C. Fields playing a game of billiards in \*\*Six of a Kind (\*\*1934) never fails to make me laugh.

Micheal Palin as Uncle Jack bunging out the catch-basin in the “Curse of the Claw” episode of “Ripping Yarns” series is the funniest thing Wallace ever saw on telly. ---

OK, There are too many scenes to list, but Napoleon Dynamite has a bunch that make me laugh out loud. My very favorite one is when Uncle Rico is driving along and his van is hit with an orange. His scream/reaction is gold. The scene where Uncle Rico hits Napoleon with the steak is equally goofy. Uncle Rico was a great character. ---

Bringing Up Baby: “Hey that’s my ball!” “Oh! That’s alright, I’m not superstitious.” "Your golf ball, your car. Is there anything in the world that doesn’t belong to you? The Ref “I think we’re going to need a ruling on this one.” Raising Arizona “Watch you don’t hurt yourself Mordecai!” “You mean you busted out of jail?” “No, ma’am. We released ourselves on our own recognizance.” “What Evelle here is trying to say is that we felt that the institution no longer had anything to offer us.” “and when there was no meat, we ate fowl and when there was no fowl, we ate crawdad and when there was no crawdad to be found, we ate sand.” “Dammit, are you boys gonna chase down your leads or are you gonna sit drinkin’ coffee in the one house in the state where I know my boy ain’t at?” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/funny-scenes-in-movies/721465.md?page=5)
