City Slickers, Jack Palance & Billy Crystal... Billy says "Kill anybody today, Curly?", Jack's reply, "Day ain't over yet."
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza work in a Sake bar, Anna is very drunk at work.. again. When she's told off by her boss she slurs... "I am a strong, independent woman and I will get on the table and shake my tits to Rhi Rhi, it's my right. America! Feminism!" and then lifts her tits up with both hands. Her boss baffled at that... "Did you just life your tits up and say Feminism?"
A Fish Called Wanda, The best part is more the scene with Kevin Kline saying... I'm sorry.. for the first time and meaning it after he's attacked John Kleese in his home.
Also.. every time he says.. "Don't call me stupid"...and him Driving around London yelling "A**hole!" This is a laugh-fest of a film. "Avoid the green ones.. they're not ripe yet."

I hardly ever crack up laughing at a joke. What really get's me entertained the most, those scenes that causes some kind of pain, hilariously! Not something like somebody fixing to die or anything. Just something that out of the blue, unexpected sh*t. For example....
The 40 Year Old Virgin.. Steve Carell get's his chest hair waxed and yanked off.
The Rundown...Dwayne Johnson gets his ass handed to him by that small ass native. Also the scene with the baboons 
.
So many other movies with funny sh*t like that. That's what I call "Milk Thru the Nose Funny"
@WEBHEAD🕸️ I laughed my ass off with the chest hair waxing too. Something about seeing men suffer thru that is hilarious to me.
@Egor17 Yes,in fact,I want to buy a man's heavy duty shaver,cause womens' stuff wears out quickly.Anyone recommend a long lasting one?thanks!
@clarachan1355 Electric; Remmington make a very good range. Blade; Always Gillette. I don't know about open blades.
@WEBHEAD🕸️ What about Danny McBride fight scene in Pineapple Express funniest thing ever! I'm obsessed with Danny McBride he is beyond funny!

Since Team America was released, I can't take any big action movie seriously anymore - No matter from which country it originates from. I just hear the theme song playing in my head.
Cheesy, over-dramatic lines make me laugh out loud.
Also - Any movie or TV show that feels the need to explain really, really simple things as if they were talking to 8-year-olds.
@DemandingFemale My husband loved Team America, he also loves Ron Burgundy the stupid ridiculous funny movies.
@Teeny💋 I love Ron Burgundy, too! I love the silliness of Will Ferrell movies. I also really like Paul Rudd.
If my husband and I are watching an action movie together you can bet one of us will sing the Team America song at least once lol. We also use it to describe the things we watch alone.
Him - "How was the movie?"
Me - "It was alright, a bit Team America, though"
@DemandingFemale I love it! My daughter got me the soundtrack for Christmas that year... the title song.. is longer on the album.. so funny. What I like about the South Park boys is they take the piss out of everybody.
@DemandingFemale "See, there are three kinds of people: d**ks, pussies and a***oles. Pussies think everyone can get along and d**ks just want to f**k all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your a***oles. And all the a***oles want is to sh*t all over everything. So pussies may get mad at d**ks once in a while because, pussies get f**ked by d**ks. But d**ks also f**k a***oles! And if they didn't f**k the a***oles, you know what you'd get? You'd get your d**k and your pu**y all covered in sh*t!"
Best motivational speech, ever!

"Steve Carell get's his chest hair waxed and yanked off." That is not funny. Just very painful. Like the doctor saying the nylon melted to your leg will be funny as we peel your skin with it.
Dwayne Johnson getting his ass handed. Noo that was seriously a good laugh funny.

Almost everything The Flash said or did in the movie Justice League cracked me up.
Every single time one hero was introduced to another hero in Infinity Wars. Actually, most of that movie was hilarious.
I'm not even sure what category that type of humor falls under?
@michael59 Have you seen the new commercials he is in playing candy crush? They are funny
@Teeny💋 I love Ryan Reynolds but my favourite is still Waiting, all of it but here's one.. "With women, there are only two options. Either she doesn't sleep with you and there really isn't any reason to call her again..or she does sleep with you and there really isn't any reason to call her again."
@ginger666 I was hoping for very nice dimentia,soon(I am 71)but my brain is pitifully in good shape from writing,thinking,and playing Mozaki Blocks,a computer puzzle game.Mozaki is sposed to exercise yer noodle.
THAT'S IT,HOME MADE NOODLES!I should make pasta!
@ginger666 WOW WHAT IS HE LOOKING FOR,IN A WOMAN ANYWAY?--ANSWER; ABOUT 2 OR 3 HOURS.
@michael59 I read all the comics as a child and totaly love the movies. I have a slight bias towards the Marvel ones than the DC. Both are great.
@Egor17 AAAHH, I miss being a kid i was either happy or not,and i did kid things to make me happy.I hate being an adult,all the "necessary accomplishments"did not work out.--I was supposed to be successful,mostly i was sick.I was too ill all the time.--nothing worked.So,yeah,stay being a kid.its better.
@michael59 "It's like a pirate and an angel had a baby." .. "Kick names, take a**". The first Die Hard.. everything is funny. It's action/comedy but... they don't say that, which is even funnier.
@ginger666 Exactly!!
How hard did you laugh when they asked if Kevin Bacon was a member of the Avengers?
I almost fell out of my chair laughing.
@ginger666 “This Is Farewell And Good Luck, Morons.”
I don't know how he managed to deliver that line with a straight face. lol

"The Sweetest Thing"
Selma Blair who was giving oral to her well endowed new boyfriend that had a piercing. She gets stuck and her friends come in and no one can pull her off of his equipment. Before long the whole bedroom is filled with people, firemen, police, EMT, etc. Someone says I heard singing relaxes the throat muscles. They start singing Sweet Surender, I've added a clip below.
but funny.

"Cheesy, over-dramatic lines make me laugh out loud. " said by DemandingFemale.
Yes, that to. But, off cuff, 'accidental' quite lines. Tis;
"where are my socks?" after getting breath back. Re-wind the movie, so I can watch the 5 mins I lost loosing my socks. Laughing that hard is good for your lungs if not your socks.
@DemandingFemale This brings me back to a summer of Wayne's World and a few too many joints. I remember laughing a lot but never remembering the film the next day.
I have grown up and trying to prevent my kids doing the same (halfheartly)
@---BOX--- I remember the year well, and for almost the same reasons lol.
I bought the soundtrack from my Saturday job wages. Tia Carrere was awesome!
The Bugs Bunny clip was the best scene from the film. You can actually see the moment Dana Carvey (Garth) thinks of the question LOL - Watch from 0.30
@DemandingFemale those two made a very funny movie--and the singing in the car!!and he goes for this Chinese chic,who has a band;so he goes out and learns Cantonese(not an easy feat)just to talk to her!!his blonde side kick is hysterical!!HAHHAH

Twisted - dark comedy but never the regular stuff found in general comedy films/series. Eastbound and Down made me laugh out loud ... Black Jesus... Time Traveling Bong... just to name a few.

Then men wonder "why do I have an extra or short a sock?"
Was it the washing machine doing it's extra dimension thing again? Someone somewhere must really need odd socks.
Ask a man about socks.

Noo there is a thing "Comment is hidden. Why?"
I do not hide a fart in a hurricane why someone want's to hide their comment. Or care about spit in the ocean.

I loved Madtv thought that was the funniest thing ever created! Loved SNL when Will and Kristen Wigg was in it but Kate McKennon is pretty funny, love old time comedians like Chevy Chase and Steve Martine love anything with Danny McBride and yes Paul Rudd and Melissa McCarthy.....thought Bridesmaids was one of the funniest movies ever.
Also like random funny clubs on YouTube normally of just stupid people just been themselves like this guy.......

I like humor from unexpected places. Like a character who is always serious suddenly being goofy and totally out of their usual character. IE: If Groot who only ever says I am Groot, suddenly gave a middle finger. I'd probably be rolling. I find Rick and Morty hilarious. The Orville has become my new favorite since it's premiere. Serious moments mixed with WTF is going on really? I love stuff like that. Movies along those lines of funny out of nowhere. I'm trying to think of an example but I've been on a sci-fi & fantasy binge for awhile. I guess Pineapple Express is the only comedy I can think of right now but I'm kinda rushing so.. lol
@Teeny💋 I sometimes sleep with cartoon network on and I got tired of hearing the theme song when I was half sleep. So one night I just said screw it and got up and watched it. Was soooo good!
@Teeny💋 lol, I used to catch that sometimes. lol That one hair sticking out of meatwad used to urk my nerves.

Lots of very different stuff. Especially if I’ve watched it with my son. We have the same sense of humour, except he’s a 21 year old male and laughs at some stuff that is too crude to be funny in my opinion. But things like Drax being invisible in Avengers Infinity War, or the Jeffery scene in Get Him to the Greek “Keep stroking the wall!”, Doug Glatt’s monkey / Pierce Brosnan dream speech in Goon: The Last of the Enforcers (omg just thinking about it, “Best Wishes, Doug Glatt”, makes me giggle). Johnny English lip syncing along while watching himself lip syncing Abba’s Does Your Mother Know while having been recorded on a hidden camera in his bathroom or him trying to find an E flat acapella to bounce the sound off the walls in the dark. Matthew Perry smashing into the screen door and then trying to talk to Bruce Willis and Amanda Peet in The Whole Nine Yards. And off the cuff things like nicknames, whether it was Sawyer’s many, many nicknames for everyone in Lost or Robert Downey Jr. ...

I will add some more later but I would love to hear from everybody what makes you laugh in a movie??
@Teeny💋 Well, my list would be looong and diverse, so...
Spontaneous humour that grabs me combined with physical humour (this can be as little as timing the speech and the look of the eyes and/or facial contortion, or as much as physical contortion of the body), and a splash of clever phrases well placed...
That combination is the mainstay of every belly laugh I've ever had and can be found almost anywhere when the actor is proficient at displaying the aforementioned attributes.
:)
@ There is nothing like a REAL laugh, the deep belly laugh that is uncontrollable and has you crying and gasping for air. Wow it sounds awful describing it that way but it wonderful. I also get that same joy seeing someone else laugh that way, especially my husband. It makes me smile
