Simple but hilarious comedy moments

The scene in BIG where Tom Hanks has some sort of puppet in his hand and punches himself on the chin...still makes me laugh!

Ahh, watched that yesterday and remember the bit you mean.He was perfect for that role.

The scene in Jurassic Park where the fat guy gets devoured by that funky-looking dinosaur with the collarbone problem had me rolling in the aisle.

The scene from "Clue" where Mrs. White (Madeleine Kahn) is incoherently trying to explain something ...

WHITE
(detached)
Yes . . .
(pause)
Yes, I did it.
I killed Yvette.
I hated her . . . so . . . much . . .
I-It-It--flame--flames . . . on the side of my face . . .
breathing . . . breathle--heaving breaths . . .heaving--

I must have seen this movie a dozen times or more and I still wet myself laughing when she does this scene. I can't explain it.

Clue

-How many husbands have you had
Mrs White-Mine, or other womens
-Yours
Mrs White-5, yes, just the 5.Men should be like Kleenex, soft strong and disposable.

Love that film, a total classic.

2 plus 1 plus 1.....

-Thers just one thing I dont understand!
-Onnnne Thing!!


-Too late.


-Im gonna go home and sleep with myyy wife.

The scene in A SHOT IN THE DARK with Peter Sellers is in the nudist colony.
Danny Kaye's "vessel with the pestle" scene in THE COURT JESTER
A more recent one is the knife scene in KUNG FU HUSTLE.

A scene from Mr. Mom

-Do you wan't a beer?

-It's 7:30 in the morning!

-Scotch?

thieoflight-I saw a trailer of Kung Fu Hustle a few weeks back, cant wait to see it!!

material girl - yesss, another "Clue" fan!

Oh god, that was hysterical and one of my favorites as well. FLAMES! FLAMES!... on the side of my face -- and her expression. Holy God, that was funny.

THATS RIGHT!

My friend and I love it.I thought you were her for a second when I first read your post.I thought the film only had 2 fans!
The scary thing is our favourite quote IS 'I hated her...so...much..flames...on the side of my face...heaving....'.Weve managed to get it into conversations at times.
I love the way that film has 3 different endings, its fun to try and keep up with who the suspects are.
I havnt seen it for years.Goes to show a film needed be a multimillion pound blockbuster to be superb.

Love Miss Scarletts/Leslie Ann Warrens green dress.
Eileen Brennan is fabulous and Tim Curry is hilarious.I love it when he does his Rocky Horror/Frankenfurter armswinging walk towards the camera when he is trying to explain a murder.

One of my favorites is the chase scene on the vending cart in "What's Up Doc?" which has Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal careening down the streets in San Francisco chased by spies. Another scene in that movie that is hilarious is Madeleine Kahn being dragged out of the ballroom after a case of mistaken identity.

Of course, the movie is based on "Bringing Up Baby," with its own collection of great comedic scenes including the climax where Katherine Hepburn climbs up on the painstakingly constructed dinosaur bones to get to Gary Grant.

Sight gags can be a lot funnier that even the funniest dialogue.

Simple, but hilarious: "It's a Mad,Mad,Mad,Mad,World", Spencer Tracy walks into his office, Tosses his hat towards the hat rack, it sails out the window; caught me off guard, i cracked up.

The inspiration for the Zuckers? Of course, sight gags go back to Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplain. On the Panavision Cinerama screen the final scenes from "Mad, etc. World" were incredible.

But I can't forget the first scene in "Some Like It Hot" where Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon show up at the train station in bad drag with Marilyn Monroe dodging steam vents!

The way Jaques Tati "soars" into a canal after a ridiculously funny cycling episode in "Jour de Fête" is one of the few cinema moments that made me laugh out loud.

In "My Cousin Vinny" the local bully holds a handful of money, annoucing he has the wager money, as Vinny is about to walk past him, with something else on his mind. Vinny leaps into his chin with a punch, picks up the money, thanks him, and moves on without missing a beat. Exquisite timing.
