Just recalled the scene from Clone High where an entire audience is befuddled by the meaning of Joan of Arc's clone's expressionistic student film...except Freud's clone. "You love Abe! You love Abe!"

I saw maybe two episodes of that show and they were both great.

• The "Fujisawa Monster Kick" sequence from the anime El-Hazard. Literally fell out of my chair laughing the first time and my friends and I had to rewind and re-watch about 5 times.

• Many, many moments from Red Dwarf

• Likewise, many moments from Animaniacs, though the Warner's going to hell and Wakko fetching a snowball to note forlornly "They were right, it never had a chance" sticks out.

There's a lot more, stuff from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Army of Darkness, The Boondock Saints, etc that I know have struck me as absolutely hysterical, but I can't summon the exact moments to mind.

I can't believe I forgot to mention a bit that literally almost had me falling off the couch, which is the Medieval Times scene in The Cable Guy.

When they started playing the Vulcan battle music in the background, I just about died.

Which reminds me: everything set at the convention in Galaxy Quest. EVERYTHING.

Yeah, I admit I didn't appreciate it enough when it was on. How can MTV not even rerun it? I saw a rumor it would come out on DVD soon-- not that that's particularly credible. If it does, however, I recommend it.

Oh, Galaxy Quest also gave us that scene with Sigourney Weaver's and Tim Allen's characters having to run that gauntlent of random chomping presses, with Sigourney saying "Whoever wrote this episode should DIE!"

"As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly," on WKRP.

Oh yeah, that one one of the funniest TV moments ever. Along with the attack of the godless communist tornados.

Which reminds me: everything set at the convention in Galaxy Quest. EVERYTHING.

Yes, this.

I remembered two more while flipping channels tonight and catching an episode of Whose Line is it Anyway?

• British version. Game is Superheroes. Ryan Stiles as "Tight Underwear Boy".

• American version. Game is Green Screen. Colin Mochary (sp?) in front of the screen, which is (unknown to him) displaying a collection of clips of him from the show. The best part is early in the bit, he says the reason for the "news" he's supposedly reporting is "A bald joke gone horribly wrong" or some such.

Really, I think the British Whose Line is probably the most consistantly responsible for unable to breathe bouts of laughter than any other program for me.

British Whose Line, worst thing to say on meeting the Queen, Stephen Fry: "Oh, that reminds me, I must buy a stamp".
