Watched 'Romy and Michele's High School Reunion' last night with DCs and the dance scene still absolutely cracks me up.
Reminds me of what the posters on the MN Strictly threads call contempo waft 😆

Which film or TV scenes do it for you?
Links welcome!

Funnily enough, we watched the Life of Brian the other night, and I still cry laughing at the Biggus Dickus scene! I said to my husband that it will never not be funny.

Also the scene in Saving Grace where the two elderly ladies drink hash tea by mistake!

I've been watching Big Bang Theory (re watching for the millionth time) and much of that still makes me LOL - but one bit that always does, Penny and Amy are having a conversation about star trek, and Penny corrects Amy saying it's star WARS. Amy asks what the difference is and Penny replies
"THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE"
The way she says it cracks me up every time.

Also, season 2 episode 1 of IT Crowd always has me crying with laughter

How I met your mother, the scene where marshall and ted go to a gig and they've either eaten or smoked weed beforehand. They go looking for nachos for lily and it's the funniest scene ever. I crease up every time I watch it.

I watched Planes, Trains and Automobiles the other day and the bit where they wake up together in the motel room.. “those aren’t pillows!!” Hilarious. Also when they then stand up in horror and start talking about the football game in butch voices. Brilliant.Grin

"There's too many chairs" hotel room scene in Knocked Up.
In Pretty Woman, the scene where JR proceeds to eat some green decoration on a dessert. It's her face as she realises it's inedible.
A real oldie. Cheech & Chong and when the massive amount of acid kicks in when the Cop shows up at the car. Very funny.

The scene in The IT Crowd where Jen calls tech support and can’t understand what the man is saying. Also Donald O’Connor pulling faces during the ‘Moses Supposes’ routine in Singing in the Rain.
On the other hand, from when I first saw The Railway Children in 1970 all the way up when it was on TV to a couple of days ago, I sob when Jenny Agutter shouts, ‘Daddy, my Daddy!’ Every time.

YourChirpyFatball · 02/01/2025 08:46

@Theflopside 1976 my Dad died just before Christmas and that was on TV. I cried so much at that scene. 😭

MoodySky · 02/01/2025 08:48

Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse in their office Christmas do a few years ago "procurements" 😂

Moss in court in the IT Crowd.

The prank on Rachel in Friends when 'Ross' falls down the stairs - hilarious!

shellyleppard · 02/01/2025 08:52

@PuppyMonkey my favourite bit is where Steve Martin starts washing his face..... with john Candy's characters underpants 🤢🤢🤣🤣 it's such a good film 🎥 i

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 02/01/2025 08:55

The scene in the Penrith tearoom in Withnail and I. The whole film, actually.

Small and Far Away in Father Ted.

Don't tell him, Pike! Dad's Army.
Most of Fawlty Towers.
Some Like It Hot.

Lots and lots, actually.

The 'puny god' scene in The Avengers.

The guidance counsellor's erotic fiction excerpts and pep talks in 10 Things I Hate About You.

The 'gimme the cash' scene in Fifth Element.

Giles chasing Professor Walsh after being turned into a Feorl demon in Buffy.

Red Dwarf - Mr Flibble, and 'if he comes near me I'm going to rip his nipples off'.

Missymarple · 02/01/2025 08:59

An episode of Frasier called Ham Radio. Frasier is attempting to put on an old fashioned live radio drama for Halloween, I think. The whole thing is just wonderful, especially Niles as he gets more annoyed at Frasier's overbearing directing, but the line that gets me every time is Bulldog's girlfriend who rehearses her line very carefully, then when her time comes yells out LOOK OUT, HE'S GOT A NUG!

TickingAlongNicely · 02/01/2025 09:00

Big Bang Theory

Bazinga.

Cocolapew · 02/01/2025 09:04

The (US ) Office opener where Dwight sets a fire to see how they cope in a fire drill. "Save Bandit" and "the fire is shooting at us".
Same show, the cpr scene where Kelly randomly gets up to dance.

BashfulClam · 02/01/2025 09:05

Malcolm Tucker in The Thick of it describing Star Wars ‘he’s got a tin foil pal and a pedal bin!’

JackieQueen · 02/01/2025 09:05

The pot of pish in Still Game.

WinWhenTheyreSinging · 02/01/2025 09:07

The Thriller dance scene in 13 Going On 30 makes me cry laughing every time, I have no clue why.

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 02/01/2025 09:08

Olaf in Frozen: my legs! I can't feel my legs!
Those are my legs!

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 02/01/2025 09:08

Many episodes of Would I Lie To You.

Slightly embarrassingly, some of the earlier episodes of Top Gear. The MPV convertible was very funny.

Baconking · 02/01/2025 09:14

The Money Pit.

When Tom Hanks character falls through the floor and gets stuck 😂

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 02/01/2025 09:29

The official dinner in Carry on up the Khyber.
Laurel and Hardy singing In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
The Meaning of Life 'death' dinner party (' I didn't even eat the mousse)
The reveal scene on the stairs in Tootsie
And so many parts of the original radio series of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
