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!

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

Came here to say this! Love that film. Also, when they are driving the burnt out car, get pulled over and the officer says 'does anything on this car work?' And John Candy replies 'yes officer, funnily enough the radio is still working just fine'
Brilliant film 😂

East is East

I will stick that fanny over your bastard head 😂

Some of Ros Myers one-liners in Spooks were very funny.

Nearly all of Father Ted, but a favourite is when the romantic novelist visits the island and Mrs Doyle is outraged by the bad language in the novels - and then proceeds to quote bits to Father Ted.

Oh! Just thought. The bit in the first Paddington when Mr Brown is on hold to the insurance broker and suddenly realises what may be going on in the bathroom...

Anything with Jim Carrey
Bridesmaids

“How are you going to get it stuffed?”

”I’ll get a man.”

“And what’s this man going to stuff it with?”

“Sage an onion.”

Og God, I'd forgotten about that. I was late to appreciate FND, but love it.
"A bee bit me" springs to mind.

APushbikeNamedReluctance · 03/01/2025 10:13

Remembered another - Modern Family when they parody The Godfather - specifically when the door is closed on Claire.

Am I the only one who got way more out of Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom than their DCs? So many LoL moments in that.
We still re watch Old King Thistle's birthday episode every year, to sing the birthday song to DH 😆

Lyrics
King Thistle is old
Old, old, old and today he’s even older
King Thistle is old
Old, old, old
Old, old, old, old, oooooooold!

And it was genius when they parodied 'Game of Thrones' in the opening credits!

When DS was smaller I loved Ben and Holly and Hey Duggee for exactly that reason, the most popular kids programmes are often the ones that manage to work on a level of humour aimed at the under 10s, and at the same time work in jokes aimed at their parents.

Phineyj · 03/01/2025 12:03

I got DH a Father's Day card once with Duggee on and "You've got your parenting badge. A-woof!"

"Oh sorry. Wrong church" from Hugo and Alice's wedding in "The Vicar of Dibley".

The food poisoning scene in Bridesmaids. I don’t normally like gross-out humour, but their reactions are hilarious.

The funeral scene in the IT Crowd, when Roy’s phone goes off and he thinks he’s dying.

Homer’s skateboard accident in The Simpsons. When the ambulance sets off and hits a rock.

This Country, when Kurtan gets a job with Kerry’s dad. There’s a scene where he’s trying to get a full wheelbarrow up a ramp that is a genius piece of physical comedy.

That funeral scene is brilliant. My favourite moment is when the son does the eulogy and introduces Auden's poem as 'here's a poem I heard on 4 Weddings and a funeral'. Unfortunately I can't ever take it seriously now even on the saddest occasion as I think of this line.

Folkwhore · 03/01/2025 15:27

Pretty much all of Car Share but particularly the scene where Kayleigh goes to rescue a hedgehog in the road and John's door ends up flying off 😂

wholettheturnipsburn · 03/01/2025 15:31

Yes to the app who said the Song for Europe episode of Father Ted. "Just play the fucking note"

The work outing on IT crowd, especially the slow chair lift scenes at the minibus

Martin Goodman and his lucky tin of meat

Agree with many already mentioned - IT Crowd Theatre Outing, Frasier Little People episode stands out as well as the already mentioned Big Nose one, The Odd Couple, Curb. The Murder in Successville episodes with Jamie Laing and Richard Osman always make me laugh. Also Mick Jagger and Keith Richards running the corner shop in Stella Street.

Ooohh murder in Successville. Lots of LOL moments

Chris Kamara and Ellie White interview. She keeps corpsing. Soooooo funny

MissRoseDurward · 03/01/2025 15:48

Many scenes from the early series of New Tricks,

I forget how funny some of those early episodes were, until I catch a repeat. And they dealt with serious and sensitive crimes at the same time. Like the episode set in the sweet factoty.

Brilliant cast that worked so well together.

Car Share was so funny. I love the one where they kidnap a monkey, the Smurf episode, and Stink Ray singing Here Comes the Hotstepper when Kayleigh has a hangover.

Pingu and the Seal

Shaun the Sheep

The seal in Pingu is the stuff of nightmares!

The Valentine episode of Frasier where Niles decides to iron his trousers is magic.

Edited

Came here to say this one!

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - Ruprecht's response to "what did we do when Uncle Ted was here?" and Ruprecht during dinner "excuse me, may I go to the bathroom first?"

I'm going to have to watch it again now 😁

Also when Michael Caine first takes his new girlfriend to meet Ruprecht and he's playing with his saucepans. Always makes me laugh.
