Haven’t seen the film yet, but years ago I was getting my hair cut at an overpriced West Hollywood salon and out of nowhere, I hear the loudest scream I have ever heard - and I can tell it is a man. I was sure Louie The Icepick was in the next room trying to get a loan payment from some poor sap. Ten minutes later, the guy who had his first back wax came out and he looked pretty much like Louie The Icepick actually had worked him over. My guess is that was his first, and last, back waxing. ---

Didn’t laugh, but I didn’t want to wake people up. Funny scene from a very funny movie, and the way the wax-er was losing it was especially amusing. By the way, it wasn’t Katie Couric, it was “KELLY CLARKSON!” ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > By the way, it wasn’t Katie Couric, it was “KELLY CLARKSON!” Well, that isn’t very funny then, is it? 😛 Actually, I thought _The Forty Year Old Virgin_ was probably the funniest movie I saw this year – but the waxing scene didn’t do a lot for me. Maybe if it hadn’t featured so heavily in the trailer, punchline and all… I totally lost my shit when Andy’s grandfatherly co-worker was going through the litany of stuff that life isn’t about, though. Jesus. ---

Looking down at one’s own hairy (no, not nearly _that_ hairy, but still…) chest and wincing. :eek: I’m waaaaay too much of an empath to find most scenes of physical pain, even those done with comic intent, funny. ---

Hilarious scene from a side splitting movie. I didn’t laugh because I’m at work, and that may cause some unwanted attention ;). [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/photo-dare-you-not-to-laugh/337352.md?page=1)
