I know Bringing up Baby always has me in stitches, but I can't recall any particular scene that's amazingly funny except for the disentegrating dinosaur skeleton.

What Matt said.

Also, The Pink Panther movies. And Withnail and I, esp "Get in the back of the van!"

what movie (or mass entertainment) scenes made you laugh the hardest?

Any number of scenes between Groucho Marx and Margaret Dumont, or between Groucho, Chico and Harpo. Harpo Marx in general.

The Tarzan, Tonto and Frankenstein scene from SNL where they're all being interviewed on a talk show, and Lovitz does something to make Hartman crack up so hard he has to just stand up and say "FIRE BAD" in between giggles, and goes crashing through the back wall of the set, just to get off stage and lose his shit.

Just about any sequence from News Radio, especially any scene with Jimmy James.

A bunch of stuff from both animated and live-action Tick, though nothing specific is coming to mind right now.

And I think the GWtW Caroll Burnett scene may just be the funniest thing of all time.

Tim Conway's elephant bit.

Ah Robin, sharing the Marx Bros love with me.

Michael Palin driving the steamroller in A Fish Called Wanda was a definite high point too.

Pretty much that whole movie had me in danger of peeing myself from laughing so hard.

Tim Conway's elephant bit.

You know it's funny when even the professionals can't keep from laughing.

Kramer slammming the money down, "I'm out" in the Master of my domain episode of Seinfeld.

Another great moment from The Carrol Burnett show as in a Mama's Family skit. I forget what the set up was -- I think they were playing some kind of game -- and Tim Conway goes into this long story about Siamese twin elephants that are joined by the trunk. He makes everyone lose it.

That's the elephant bit Aimée mentioned.

I remain amazed that Vicki Lawrence didn't crack up during that scene. But it was her "You think the little !@#$% is finished?" that completely destroyed everyone else for the work day.

During the mid-'80s, Tom Hanks hosted SNL (Sade was the musical guest). I saw the ep in a crowded dorm lounge.

The final sketch was a Greek-fisherman thing, with Hanks and one of the regulars in costumes that included fake mustaches. About halfway through the sketch, Hanks' mustache started sliding out of place. For the rest of the sketch, we couldn't hear the dialogue because everyone was laughing so hard at the mustache going here, there, and everywhere except Hanks' upper lip.

The two movies that destroyed me were The Return of the Pink Panther and The Pink Panther Strikes Again.

I have a hard time keeping them straight since I saw them in theater when I was at that very ripest age for physical comedy, my pre-teens. Your handy guide to keep them apart would be: Return has Christopher Plummer in it (god, he would've made a perfect Bond) and Herbert Lom hasn't gone mad yet; Strikes Again is less grounded in reality and has a madman Lom setting all the international assassins in the world after Clouseau.

So many scenes killed me. Clouseau inspecting the burglary site and quickly destroying the museum; Cato in the refrigerator; Clousseau and his melting nose; Clousseau's turn on the parallel bars; The inflatable hump; in disguise as a hotel room electrician (so cunning, so crafty) and the vacuum cleaner on the boobs and the light socket and...; the end of Strikes Again with the ultimate spy-sex-bed scene gone horribly awry (I still vividly remember my Dad absolutely convulsed in laughter during that scene).

"Does your dog bite?"

Also, was completely and utterly wrecked by seeing The Upper Class Twit Of The Year for the first time. My first real exposure to Python.

The second time I saw Bringing Up Baby, slightly tipsy on champagne and surrendering to it's insane pace and logic. Giggling madly through the whole thing.
