I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I was thinking about hilarious movie scenes last night on my drive home, and thought I'd bring the idea up in thread today: what movie (or mass entertainment) scenes made you laugh the hardest?

While the cumulative effect of the second viewing of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was to laugh so hard I lost my voice, there wasn't any one scene that did me in.

So the nod has to go to Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, when they start singing Hold On.

Every single time I see it, I keep thinking it can't be that funny, and every single time it's funnier than I remember.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I don't often succumb to comedy, but the Anchorman news-team gangfight was pretty effing good. Double points for Tim Robbins in a white-man's fro and pipe, and for the amputation outtakes later on the DVD.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Springtime for Hitler in The Producers had me literally rolling on the floor.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

In Anchorman, when Ferrell is in the phone booth and he can't finish the sentence, he just bellows his pain...OMG. Couldn't. Stop. Laughing.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle

Oh my God, the bag o' weed montage. I nearly killed myself laughing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, when they start singing Hold On.

OMG, I think I broke something laughing during that scene.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Anchorman - "Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident!"

That was a perfect scene.

One of my lifetime faves is the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, when Indy shoots the swordsman.

I know there are others - I just can't think of them....

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh my God, the bag o' weed montage. I nearly killed myself laughing.

YES.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

For me, there's "Springtime for Hitler," and then there's everything else.

Though the two stateroom seduction scenes in The Lady Eve (first with the shoes, then with Gene* describing her dream man to Hopsy) and the train confession scene near the end, and the sequence in Unfaithfully Yours in which Rex Harrison abominably fails to carry out his revenge fantasy are awfully close.

*I've seen it spelled "Jean," but since she makes a point of stating that her full name is Eugenia, I can't see how it could be anything but Gene.
