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.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

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

"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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
"Uncle Fucka" was freakin' awesome.
His Girl Friday and The Awful Truth
Oh yeah. I love those movies.

I can be brought to a helpless state by a good use of (ring ring) "Cock."

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Oh! Pretty much any part (or ALL) of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels will reduce me to helpless, howling laughter.

Much of the first few seasons of Coupling, but especially Lesbian Spank Inferno, and the one with the Israeli chick. I know one day at krav the word shadayim is going to slip from my lips unwarranted.

Just David Brent's hand gestures alone in that scene crack me up.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I know I'm in the minority on this one, but Christian Bale's little speech in American Psycho about the deep meaning behind Huey Lewis & the News' music, and the little quick dance he does to "Hip to Be Square" leaves me cackling every single time.

Only because most people are CRAZY. That scene's hilarious.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Recent Cartoon Funny: Venture Brothers - pretty much anything with The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend; Sealab "I'm a sexy little sea otter" - stands out among many others; Manger Babies on King of the Hill; The Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight - "I've got a gimmick, baby! High explosives!"; also I almost choked in the scene where The Tick was hallucinating and Speak, the moist furry avenger, speaking in a low, cultivated British voice simply said, "I love you."; Timmer on South Park (South Park has odd moments of sweetness); Robot Chicken - Headless Ponch.
I need Ple to come by with Newsradio selections and Jon to do likewise with The Simpsons.
