Film and TV bits you find unreasonably funny

I was just talking to a friend of mine about films and Runaway Bride came up. She said one bit has her mum in stitches. Its the bit where Julia Roberts jumps on a FedEx truck and someone asks 'where is she going?' and Hector Elizondo says 'i dont know, but wherever it is she will get there by 6pm tomorrow'. For me where she gets stuck on the church bell and Richard Gere says 'sanctuary, sactuary' just gets me and i dont know why!

The 'well we'll call you Lord Rodney' line in OFAH kills DH every time

How about you?

The sketch in (I think) The Innes Book of Records where two blokes are standing by a canal facing each other and doing a hoppity-skip dance whilst slapping each other with tiny fish. So magnificently ridiculous.

And the frozen fox in Friday Night Dinner

Speaking of OFAH, this has me in stitches every time:

Del: (sarcastic) During the war...
Uncle Albert: I wasn't gonna say 'during the war'
Del: Good
Uncle Albert: During the 1939-1945 conflict...

Spoiler!

The eating the dog episode of The Peep Show.

The 'wrong guy' mixup at the BBC when a person called Guy turned up for an interview as IT assistant and was interviewed as some kind of IT news expert.

purrswhileheeats · 05/03/2021 19:51

Chandler's 'I'm not great at the advice but can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?' gets me every time Smile

MirandaShepherd · 05/03/2021 19:57

Derry Girls, Season 2 episode 1 - Clare is hanging off the side of a rock face while rock climbing and shouts out in panic about the Protestant lad who she’s paired with, and then Erin’s response of “Jesus Christ”. It gets me every time.

Tomcullenisahero · 05/03/2021 19:59

The part in Bruce Almighty where Bruce makes Evan speak in a squeaky voice and talk nonsense while presenting the news. Tears run down my face every time, my family think I'm nuts. I watch it on YouTube when I need cheering up

Redannie118 · 05/03/2021 20:06

Jen on the Tea trolley in the IT crowd
Danny Devito stripping in friends
Pretty much the whole of the Danger USB episode of OFAH but esp the bit where they are carrying out the dolls wearing their dead mums clothes !!
In SATC when the girls are at a tantric sex class and the old man doing the demonstration " Fires off" and hits Miranda in the faceGrin

The episode of The IT Crowd when they go to see Gay : The Musical. I had to pause it because I was laughing so hard I was crying, and couldn't see it or breathe and I needed a wee.

Also The Dinner Party episode is magic.

Anything involving Ron Swanson in Parks and Rec but particularly his ex wife Tammy

adawong · 05/03/2021 22:00

The Biggus Dickus scene in The life of Brian.

Loveacoseynightin · 05/03/2021 22:05

For me the Stifler dance off in American Pie the Wedding no idea why though but gets me every time.

Airplane don't call me Shirley

WhoWants2Know · 05/03/2021 22:18

Father Jack and his brick 😁.

@WhoWants2Know

Father Jack and his brick 😁.
And the cows. And the nuns REVERSE!!
WhatFreshStartIsThis · 05/03/2021 22:32

The wolf fleece moment in the first series of The Apprentice

HelplessProcrastinator · 05/03/2021 22:33

Father Ted ‘these cows are small, those cows are far away’. Also Graham Norton river dancing in a caravan.

Jen in the IT Crowd wowing a conference with ‘the internet’.

InterfectoremVulpes · 05/03/2021 22:36

You bumDAR!!!

IveMadeAHugeMistake · 05/03/2021 22:36

Any time Ben has to interact with the police in Parks and Recreation.

Nigel Tufnel and the miniature food in Spinal Tap.

ShipshapeShore · 05/03/2021 22:37

Oh yes, the IT crowd episode with the musical is just brilliant. When Jen goes to the bar and Moss turns round and asks "what can I get you?" 😂.

The bit in Get Him to the Greek when Sergio sends a text - "Where the fuck are you? Smiley face." Actually, most of that film. Stroke the furry wall!

ImWorriedAboutThis · 05/03/2021 22:39

What happens in Vegas - when they are giving each other fake compliments in front of the councillor and Ashton Kutcher says “her candles smell AWESOME!” The way he says/shouts it really tickles me.

Loads from OFAH but one of them is - When Del tells Uncle Albert to act shocked that Rodney is taking a girl out on a date. Uncle Albert keeps gasping and Del keeps saying “not yet!” And then he hits him with his newspaper when he misses his cue.

Friends - again loads, but when Ross declares to everyone that he is sooo over Janine, and then she walks into the coffee shop and he says “janine!” Over excitedly.

The Office - when Keith tells Dawn that bum bags are called fanny packs, because out there fanny means your arse, not your minge...then takes a bite out of a scotch egg.

workworkworkugh · 05/03/2021 22:42

Nearly all of The Heartbreak Kid with Ben Stiller.
Especially the scene where they're having sex and she's screaming "cock me harder" and he's like "I AM cocking you" and just starts pumping furiously 🤣🤣

LunaNorth · 05/03/2021 22:46

‘Stupid Sexy Flanders’ and ‘Constance Prudence Chastity Sexwon’t’ from The Simpsons.

David and Moira Rose making enchiladas in Schitt’s Creek: ‘Fold the cheese. Fold it!’

Rachel head-butting Ross while giving birth in Friends.

‘GET IN THE VAN!’ from Withnail and I.

The bit in Bridesmaids when they all have food poisoning. It makes me retch and cry with laughter at the same time.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 05/03/2021 22:46

Lots in Friends. Namely the bit where Pboebe joins in Ross' bagpipes playing, and the one where Joey does a dance (because he got the part) and Chandler says "well, either he got the part in that play or Gloria Estefan was right, the rhythm is going to get you"

LunaNorth · 05/03/2021 22:48

Also...

When Father Ted is waving his arms about in front of a smudge on the window that makes him look like Hitler.

When Mrs Doyle offers Ted a biscuit with cocaine in it.

The Tunnel of Goats at the Craggy Island fair.

So many Father Ted moments...I’d be here all night.

LunaHeather · 05/03/2021 22:49

No one will know this will they?

Tim Vine in Not Going Out "I'm in a rock band now, my Elaine Paige days are over".

Also Lee confronting the noisy neighbour and being asked "do you want a naughty naughty spanky bum bum?" 😂

ShipshapeShore · 05/03/2021 22:50

Oh I forgot the Friends episode in Vegas. The scene where Ross and Rachel are drunk in their room makes me howl. That must be our alcohol and beers! Grin
