You know, I think all the Most Romantic TeeVee Comedy Moments in my head are ones I half-remember from freaking Family Ties and involve Alex and Ellen.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Apparently I need to go to ita's family reunions!!
Honey, you would clean UP.
I cannot think of anything romantic or comedic. My brain is farted. Uh...Wonderfalls? So I make love like a black man?
I got nothing. Taught a class today. I'm not supposed to teach on Thursdays. I suspect I might be dead. I am certainly hungry, yet home where no food is.

I'll email youse just because I don't think I have the new phone number, or at least I don't have it handy.
Romantic: Pride and Prejudice. Particularly the scenes at Pemberley, and the scene when Darcy hands Elizabeth the letter. I think I almost died the first time I read that scene.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sounds good.

How about half the scene from Bull Durham.
CRASH
believe in the soul, the cock, he pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, long foreplay, show tunes, and that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap.

I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, I believe that there oughtta be a constitutional amendment outlawing astro-turf and the designated hitter, I believe in the "sweet spot", voting every election, soft core pornography, chocolate chip cookies, opening your presents on Christmas morning rather than Christmas eve, and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last for 7 days.

Princess Bride! There is a shortage of perfect breasts in this world.
Huh. Not many of my movies are romantic. Or that funny.
Oh, is it Lethal Weapon III that has the scene with the scar comparison before they tumble into bed?

I think Strega's right on the people acting different. One of the most romantic scenes I know is the bit in Anne of Avonlea where Gilbert begins to ask her to marry him, and she puts him off, and he says, "Please say yes," and his voice just breaks a little. In a series where everyone is so polite and cultured all the time, to have someone be so exposed, so vulnerable, just for a second--it just gets me.
So, vulnerability, yeah. That's really romantic. Because of the trust, or because they can't choose not to expose themselves.
