Title: Comedy movies with side splitting scenes
Post by: Jolly Blue Giant on June 02, 2024, 08:22:03 PM
Not really jokes, but not sure where to post them without starting another thread...sooo, another thread. Things that make me laugh is poop scenes, and body-switching scenes - especially when the person discovers they're in another body

Anyway, funny clips from "A Million Ways to Die in the West", "Hall Pass", and "Changeup", and other movies of body switching. A million ways to die in the west doesn't quite rival "Blazing Saddles", but that was its intent. Some knee slapping scenes, and some duds in the movie...good for a few laughs. But here's the best of them. I loved seeing Ned Beatty in a film. Last time I remember seeing him in a movie was "Deliverance" while he was climbing up a hill naked and squealing, with a toothless hillbilly on his back telling him to squeal like a pig, and John Voigt tied to a tree with another hillbilly admiring his mouth, but I digress. Some hilarious scenes:

The yearly fair:

The gunfight:

Trailer:

Another poop scene that makes me laugh from "Hall Pass"...a funny movie where two wives give their husbands a weeklong hall pass to do whatever they want, including finding and having a one-night stand with no repercussions. One of them finally get a woman to go to a motel with him (Jason Sedakis)

What the heck, another from "Changeup" where happily married Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) and player/bachelor Dave (Jason Bateman) switch bodies, so David goes to bed with Mitch's wife after being told by Dave not to touch his wife...anyway
But first...discovering they've switched bodies from a freak occurance as they were pissing in a fountain

An old movie that I loved, starred Ellin Barkin as a sleazebag/womanizer (Steve) who is killed by angry women, but God sends him back to earth to prove a female can actually love him...but the caveat, God sends him back to earth as a woman (Barkin)

And one of the best body switch comedies ever is "Hot Chicks"

This is one of my favorites, and with Gene Hackman in a surprise role.
Hilarious!

I laugh all the way through that movie. Every scene is hysterical, such a classic.

When I was a young man and saw this scene I couldn't stop laughing.

Lloyd Bridges was a serious man in"Seahunt", but once he got into comedy, he was hilarious. A couple of my favorite episodes of Seinfeld were because of Lloyd Bridges

As a kid, I loved this scene. I recently shared it with my son and it cracked him up.

This is how I remember Lloyd Bridges as a kid


Somewhere along the line, he switched to slapstick comedy "Airplane" and "Hot Shots". He was one of a kind

Glad to be back with you guys again.

Great topic

Truly some of the best comedic scenes have already been mentioned. The Frankenstein scene with Gene Hackman is just hilarious as well as Petwer Sellers in all the Pink Panther movies.

A few others that I will always laugh at

From the movie Slap Shot--The Hanson Brothers debut



Take your lick of hilarious scenes from My Cousin Vinnie




Monty Python and the Holy Grail--Killer Bunny



There's Something About Mary--The Zipper scene


As an umpire, The Naked Gun



Major League--Just a bit outside


And the classic, The Naughty Nineties--Who's On First

Hilarious Lenn (BTW, good to have you back)

My Cousin Vinny
had so many scenes that made me laugh, I don't know where to start. Even if it wasn't funny in parts, Marisa Tomei was great eye candy

Ahhh, Marisa

This one made me laugh so hard

Notice: "A Million Ways to Die in the West" is NOT a kids' movie. It is filled with the "F" word, nudity, less than "normal" sex, vulgar, horrifying deaths, etc. It's a Seth MacFarlane film who always stretches the limits of acceptable subjects...probably because he was determined to match "Blazing Saddles" for raw comedy, hitting all the unacceptable subjects that are not considered "tasteful" by some. Anyway, just a heads-up should you have it on your watch list

Here are some of my favorite scenes from "Blast From the Past" (a five-star comedy if there ever was one). If you're not familiar with the movie, a kid born in a bomb shelter comes out to meet other humans for the first time. His mother (Sissy Spacek) was his teacher and taught him to dance, speak French, and have impeccable manners; hence, people think he's crazy once he enters the real world. He believed when he came out from the bomb shelter, most humans would be mutants from a nuclear war. After his father (Christopher Walkin) has a heart attack, he goes into the real word for the first time as a 30-year-old man with zero social skills for the time. All he has is a suitcase with thousands IBM, Polaroid, stocks bought in the 50's as well as a cigar box of his father's baseball card collection with all the old baseball stars. He tries to sell his baseball cards to get some walk around money; hence, how he meets a girl to help him, but she thinks he's a mental patient and has him committed. And all he wants is to find a girlfriend


Here she is trying to help him get a girlfriend who isn't a "mutant"


Finding out what he's worth after having him committed to a mental asylum

Trailer if interested...probably have to rent it for 3.00 or so on Netflix or Prime, or maybe for free on Roku with ads

When a strong Southern accent gets a man in trouble






I was going to show Frank the Tank streaking in "Old School", but the clip is a little too crass for the board

I know it is a Christmas movie, but I can watch these scenes from Home Alone every day. Never gets old.

It's all person opinion, but I can't do a list of funny movie scenes and not have this one somewhere near the top of my list.

Bad language warning up front for anyone who has an issue with that. Fair warning. This is R rated to say the least. But in my opinion it's a true movie classic:
