33 Movie Scenes People Laughed At So Hard, They Think They May Be The Funniest Of All Time

Recently in a thread on r/movies, redditor u/Calm-Hovercraft9858 asked the age old question, "What was the hardest you laughed during a movie?" and movie lovers came through with answers ranging from very famous to very, very random!

Warner Bros.

So, with that in mind, here are just a handful of the most popular responses shared:

1.Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997)

"I can tell you the specific scene: the slow steamroller. Austin and Vanessa are very Britishly making 'Shoo!' motions at the dramatically screaming henchman in front of them, when the big James Bond-like music abruptly pauses and we cut to the wide shot revealing they're absolutely ages away and the guy is making no effort at all to save himself. I was absolutely inconsolable. I laughed so hard I missed a good chunk of the film after that until I rewatched. I laughed until tears ran down my face and I could feel myself sweat like I'd run a marathon. It felt like I had the bends. For some reason that joke just hit me square in the brain and it is, to this day, the most I've ever laughed at anything."

3.Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)

"The fight scene and aftermath — I recall that breaking my brain at the time I saw it. I was in college when it came out, and it's kind of hard to understate how much of a phenomenon it was. Everyone was saying the lines from it constantly for way longer than usual with big new comedies. I thought there was no way it could live up the hype, so when I finally rented it on DVD, and it blew my away, that's when I knew it was a real instant classic."

6.The Other Guys (2010)

"When Mark Wahlberg busts into the ballet class and then, mid-argument, he says, 'You think I can't do this shit?' and then does a perfect pirouette. I was in tears. I don't know why necessarily, but the complete surprise and absurdity of it all."

7.Christmas Vacation (1989)

"The thing that makes me cackle like an idiot every time I see it is when Clark falls down the ladder and can’t figure out what to do with his arm to get back on the right side."

8.Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

"Jason Segel singing the Dracula song for the first time. That first 'It's getting kind of hard to believe things are going to get better' and everyone in the tiki bar reacting to the accent absolutely killed me."

9.Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995)

10.The Three Amigos (1986)

"In high school, we had a sub for one of our classes, and they didn’t know what to do, so they put this movie on. There’s a scene where this bar in Mexico has been told that three of the most dangerous criminals in Mexico are about to arrive, and they can be identified by their flamboyant clothing. In walk Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short — who are not the criminals — completely oblivious. The entire bar goes silent, and the three of them think the entire bar is starstruck because they're actors, so they start singing a song while the absolutely terrified bar patrons are forced to play along. I. Fucking. Died. The worst part was, no one else in my class thought it was funny, so I was literally crying with laughter, while every other kid in my class just stared at me."

11.Steel Magnolias (1989)

"It's not a comedy by any means, but it featured one of the most welcome laughs I've ever had in a movie. After an anguished Sally Field breaks down following the burial of her beloved daughter, her longtime friend Olympia Dukakis breaks the tension of the moment by literally offering up Shirley McClaine as a punching bag. The result was an enormous and tension-relieving laugh after a moment of great sorrow. This was the moment all the tension was released, and we were reminded of the power of friendship."

13.Young Frankenstein (1974)

"Last night I watched this FOR THE FIRST TIME. I always figured it passed me my whole life, so I just never bothered sitting down and watching it from start to finish. I was stupid and wrong. Gene Wilder has so many lines that had me dying laughing. It has become the funniest movie I’ve ever seen within 24 hours."

27.Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016)

"For me it was the scene when Andy Samberg sings 'Finest Girl.' I don’t think anyone could imagine where the lyrics would go when the song started. If you’ve never seen it, stop what you’re doing, see this movie immediately, and be rewarded with one of the funniest moments of your life. I laughed so hard, so uncontrollably, and so long that people in the audience turned around to see if I was okay. It just hit my sense of humor in the perfect way. Those Lonely Island movies are underappreciated."

I've never seen 50 Shades, but watching this movie, I could tell this guy has serious acting chops, and I sensed there was a meta-joke in his casting for the role. I looked him up just before the song. Anyway, the joke totally worked for me."
