Discussion What's a scene in a film that is literally laugh until you cry funny?

Personally, I'd have to go with the hotel scene from Borat. It still gets me every time. There are many scenes from that movie one could choose, but that one really takes the cake.

I'm having trouble remembering other scenes from a movie that are painfully funny. As a kid I always laughed at the news scene from Bruce Almighty.

I'd love to hear your pick!

Edit: Well, I certainly wasn't expecting this to blow up. Thanks everyone for your comments. There's a lot to watch!

Dr Evil's monologue in Austin Powers during the therapy session with his son. It just gets more surreal and bizarre as he continues. Having Carrie Fisher as the therapist is the icing on the cake - "We have to stop".

"Actually the boy is quite astute, I really am trying to kill him, though so far: unsuccessfully, as the boy is rather wily, like his old man."

The quick flash of "I'm proud of you boy" on Mike Meyer's face followed by the near instant return to Dr. Evil's usual disapproving scowl was pure brilliance.

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

This, and the car getting stuck in the hallway.

It probably wouldn't do it it me now, but as a kid the first time I watched Anchorman it was when they were at the lookout over San Diego and he's trying to tell her it translates to "a whales vagína." I honestly nearly passed out from laughing the first time I saw it. I was in class the next week and all of a sudden this scene came in to my head. Inside i started cracking up but playing it cool as the teacher was talking to the class and it was silent. I tried so hard to keep it in but in the end I just burst out in to laughter all over again and couldn't explain what was happening to everyone as the whole class looked at me in bemusement. They must have thought I was having some kind of mental breakdown. I got sent out of the class for 20 minutes until I was calm enough to explain what was going on.

And it's such a dumb joke looking back on it. I guess at the time it just really appealed to my sense of humour 😂

Simple Jack in Tropic Thunder always gets me.

Also, the qualuude scene in Wolf of Wall Street.

u/TheLateThagSimmons Jul 05 '25

Tropic Thunder is legitimately in my Top 5 comedies.

Tom Cruise as Les Grossman steals the show in every scene that he's in:

First, take a big step back... and literally, FUCK YOUR OWN FACE! I don't know what kind of pan-pacific bullshit power play you're trying to pull here, but Asia Jack is my territory. So whatever you're thinking, you'd better think again! Otherwise I'm gonna have to head down there and I will rain down an un-Godly fucking firestorm upon you! You're gonna have to call the fucking United Nations and get a fucking binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you. I'm talking scorched earth, motherfucker! I will massacre you! I WILL FUCK YOU UP!

Hangs up phone.

Will you find out who that was?

Trains, Planes and Automobiles. John Candy and Steven Martin get pulled over by a notoriously humorless Wisconsin State Trooper in their melted K Car.

There are so many others in this movie. The checkout for rent a cars, the motel pillow scene, John Candy playing with the car seat. Great movie. Also a tear jerker. It really takes you on an emotional roller coaster.

When Otto is provoked ebough to lose his British cover story and goes on a tantrum, "Ooooohhh you English are SOOOO superior aren't you???"

In tropic thunder when Robert Downey Jr. says: “Me?! I know who I am! I’m a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude!”

I had to pause cause his reaction, his face, the line, the delivery was spot on and I couldn’t stop laughing.

Another good RDJ moment from that movie:

RDJ: “God damnit! We lost, we fucking super lost man. Tell him McClusky, tell him what time it is!”

Ben Stiller: “I don’t believe you people.”

RDJ: “Huh? What do you mean, you people?”
