People Are Sharing The Most "Accidentally Funny" Movie Scenes, And I Gotta Agree With Some Of These

Good, compelling drama is hard to pull off, especially in film. If a performance, a shot, or a piece of music is just slightly off, the big dramatic moment you were hoping for can end up being...well, just kinda funny.

Bravo

Recently, Redditor u/throwaway294837384 asked, "What movie scene was not intended to be comedic but you can’t help but laugh every time you see it?" The responses are a who's-who of movie moments gone wrong (or right, depending on how you look at it). Here are some of the most-upvoted responses:

1."Dude falling off the Titanic into the propeller."

—u/Big-Challenge-1652

"I saw that movie several times in the theater, and without fail every single time somebody laughed when that happened. I personally don't get it, but you are not alone."

—u/jenglasser

Here's the clip, wherein the guy ricochets off at a weird angle:

2."The pool sex scene in Showgirls. Oh god I can't help giggling by just thinking about it."

—u/squashireland

I can't embed the whole clip here because ~reasons~, but you can watch it by following this link.

3."Nic Cage getting tortured in The Wicker Man was basically me laughing out loud by myself in the movie theater."

—u/fugly16

THE BEEEEEES:

4."Lord of the Rings: The moment when Legolas — with an absolutely serious and absolutely dumb facial expression — states the obvious: 'A diversion!' Thanks, Sherlock."

—u/chickennoudelsoup

Start right around the 1:00 mark for the best effect:

5."I still don't honestly know if the death scene in Meet Joe Black was intended to be as hilarious as it was, but I almost didn't watch the rest of the film because I just kept rewinding that scene over and over."

—u/Patorama

This one's so good that it went viral on Twitter a few years ago:

6."When Dakota Fanning tossed the vampire baby into the fire in Breaking Dawn."

—u/MandeeLess

Yeet:

7."There’s a scene in the Conjuring 2 where a guy says to an interviewer that while he was in the haunted house, 'a Lego brick few off the floor and hit me in the face. It drew blood!' When I saw the movie in the theater that line made me laugh out loud. No one else laughed. It was super awkward. When I rewatch the movie now and then, it still makes me chuckle. It’s the way the guy says it for sure."

I couldn't find this clip, nor have I seen Conjuring 2, but I'll take this person's word for it.

8."Chris Pratt choking a dilophosaurus in Jurassic World Dominion. I keep rewatching that one scene because it makes me laugh so much it hurts."

—u/Miss0verkill

Yep, he straight-up chokes a dinosaur:

9."When Voldemort does the laugh."

—u/random_username_96

"You don't have to explain further. We all know lol."

—u/HELLOhappyshop

Heh heh heee:

10."'He's got space dementia!' — William Fichtner in Armageddon."

—u/Earlvx129

It's a real thing, we swear:

11."Gremlins. When she is telling the story of how her dad died by dressing as Santa and trying to climb down the chimney. 'And that's how I learned Santa isn't real.' I'm a heartless bastard I guess, because I cracked up."

—u/Secret-Activity-1342

The '80s were a weird time, okay?

12."'I did not hit her. It's not true. It's bullshit. I did not hit her, I did not! Oh, hi Mark!'"

—u/TailsxCream4Eva

Give The Room a late Oscar:

13.“Somehow Palpatine returned."

—u/scarlettforever

The way poor Oscar Isaac hangs his head in shame before delivering this line:

14."Revenge of the Sith when Darth Vader was mad and he said noooooooo! That was the cherry on top of such a shit movie."

—u/nothingbeatagoodshit

Take a look and renew your anger at George Lucas all over again:

15."My sibling burst out laughing when Anakin got his arm and legs cut off, which made the entire family laugh, and then he caught fire and we laughed even harder. We were f**king dying."

—u/ambermanna

It's the little roll he does down the hill, for me:

16.And finally: "The scene in Furious 7 where The Rock flexes his cast off."

—u/SexyNeanderthal

I don't know what they're talking about, this is cinematic genius:

Are there any movie moments that weren't supposed to be funny that always make you crack up? Let us know in the comments!
