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.
On "Friends," the Thanksgiving episode where Rachel makes the British trifle, but the pages get stuck together in the cookbook, so it has beef in it.
And Joey's, "Beef, good. Jam, GOOOOOOOOOOD!"
(ETA: Or, what Dana said. Either way, it's the drawn-out "goooood" that makes the moment.)
On the Daily Show, the clip of a city councilman who was under investigation throwing a rock at the news people outside his house, and JS's reaction to it.
Joey with the turkey on his head makes Joe pee himself.
Oh Lord, half of Christina Ricci's lines as Wednesday Addams in both movies...
Wednesday Addams: Because we're going to play a game.
Pugsley Addams: What game?
Wednesday Addams: [strapping him in] It's called, "Is There a God?"
Amanda Buckman: I'll tell you what. I'll buy a cup if you buy a box of my delicious Girl Scout cookies. Do we have a deal?
Wednesday Addams: Are they made from real Girl Scouts?
[Nanny holds up puppet]
Polly/Nanny: Hello, I'm Polly the Puppet.
Nanny: What do you think we should do today?
Polly: I know, lets all clean our rooms!"
[Wednesday holds up Devil-like puppet]
Wednesday: Hello Polly, I will clean my room... in exchange for your immortal soul.
Amanda Buckman: I'll be the victim!
Wednesday: All your life.
Amanda Buckman: Why are you dressed like somebody died?
Wednesday: Wait.

TV moments that made me fall out of the chair, laughing: the finale of Newhart, when Dick/Bob wakes up next to Emily; the power walk in "Smile Time"; the GWTW Carol Burnett skit.
Movies that did the same: Airplane! (just about any scene, but on my first viewing at the age of 14, the one that sent me into hysterics was the automatic pilot getting a blow job from Elaine); Blazing Saddles (especially "I'm Tired"); and Who Framed Roger Rabbit ("My Uncle Thumper had trouble with his probate, and he had to take these biiiig pills..." "Not prostate, you idiot--probate!").
hat dialogue between Woody Allen and Diane Keaton in Love and Death that manages to reference every major work of Russian fiction in about 20 seconds
"Excuse me, will you hold my bosoms while I adjust my belt?"
"Uncle Fucka" during the South Park movie.
My brother and I should never have been allowed to see that movie together. We laughed so hard through the whole thing that I think we made people get up and move away from us. Particularly the "Les Miserables" montage in the middle-end.
In terms of recency, the scene in Wedding Crashers where Vince Vaughn's character is getting the hand job at the dinner table had me so distracted with laughter that I was glad the filmmakers didn't expect us to pay attention to anything else. At least, I'm hoping they didn't.
Nick's song "Lady L"
That was hysterical.
His Girl Friday and The Awful Truth are the classic movies that I find funniest. That scene in The Awful Truth when Cary Grant and the music instructor are beating each other up off-screen and Irene Dunne is trying to pretend that nothing is going on -- comedy gold.
And I think the episode of The Office (UK version) where they have the training seminar is about as funny as 30 minutes can be. I often think about the "postage stamps as legal tender" bit.

"You know, because...dogs."
I even have the song on my iPod. But I think the funniest Office bit is still the midget/dwarf/elf conversation.
