I think George C Scott is great in this film everyone always talks about Sellers but that one slap on his beer belley at the beginning was hilarious as shit no dialog needed at all
@@davidsenger4833 I read that Scott was angry at Kubrick when the film was released. He said that Kubrick told him, "George, show me some takes where you go over the top - wild stuff, crazy stuff. i'm not going to use it, but I want you to loosen up so you're relaxed when we shoot it for real." Then, Kubrick DID use Scott's 'over the top, crazy' takes. You see it when Scott is so excited he does a back roll and jumps up. Kubrick promised he wouldn't use those takes, but he did and it made Scott really mad. Personally, I love Scott's crazy antics.
The funniest moment I've ever seen was on the original Rosanne show; Rose discovers a quart carton of milk has gone bad... and puts it back in the fridge. Jackie goes to use it, reacts... and puts it back in the fridge. The running gag continues with the kids, with each reaction becoming more extreme... but the milk always gets put back. Finally, during the closing credits, Dan comes in the kitchen; with no one around, he decides to take a healthy gulp right from the carton. The ensuing 'death scene' is hilarious on its own. John Goodman forces blood into his face until it looks like it might explode, as he gasps and struggles, only to do a cartoonish pratfall onto the floor. There is a ten second pause.... suddenly, with every ounce of strength he can muster, he drags himself up to the table... and with his final effort before completely collapsing... puts the carton back into the fridge. Brilliant.
The scene where john travolta accidentally shoots Marvin in the face is just one of the funniest accidental movie deaths because Sam Jackson got so angry
That plays a big part, I agree, but it's not ONLY because of that: coupled with Samuel Jackson's reaction we also have the dark consequence of Travolta's stupidity in handling the gun and, of course, HIS casual and unfazed reaction: "oh man, I just shot Marvin in the face".

You forgot a big category. The "running gag". Perhaps only mildly amusing at first, each time it repeats, sometimes with variations that add surprise, it gets funnier.
I love the drawbridge sequence from "The Pink Panther Strikes Again." It is repeated with variations at the castle, then visited again at the end when the bed acts like a drawbridge to sling Clouseau through the wall of the hotel into the "moat" outside.

I find the actually funny thing about the duel of the wits from "The Princess Pride" is the revelation that both glasses had been poisoned but that Westley is immune.

Props to CineFix for actually taking a look at comedies. I feel like, for the most part, comedies don't get their time in the spotlight when it comes to serious film analysis. For whatever reason, it's seen as something 'lesser' than dramas or tragedies - when, as this video proves, there's just as much thought put into a good joke as something more dour. Also, hot DAMN I had forgotten just how amazing Jim Carrey and Steve Carell were in Bruce Almighty.

Exactly. That was a funny scene but it seemed more placed on dialogue. If a scene like that won the category I feel like Han Solo's "Uh, had a slight weapons malfunction. But, uh, everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?" scene from 'A New Hope' would win that battle, better still that it was improvised.
Honestly not even the funniest exchange in His Girl Friday, nor an especially uniquely framed paraprosdokian, even for the time. Ninotchka, The Major and the Minor, Bringing Up Baby (even mentioned in the video) and To Be Or Not To Be all came out around the same time and all did it better. Don't blame the time period for a bad clip.
For me, the number 5 scene is easily one of the funniest scenes of all time. My favourite from the list. It doesn't rely on the actor that much, but it's hilarious!
Or "your father was a hamster and your mother smelt of elderberries". That movie is #1 on my list of funniest movies! But many of the other selections are as great. Spaceballs, Office Space, Marx brothers... And BTW, these are also on my personal top 10. One that isn't mentioned that makes a great inconguity joke is the bomb scene early in Last action hero. The countdown for the bomb is perfect! "5, 4, 3, 2... It's a bomb!"
One of the funniest moments in "His Girl Friday" is when Cary Grant is giving a physical description of Hildy's Fiancee and he says ... " He looks a bit like that Actor fellow,what's his name Ralph Belamy!"
The inside joke. Another category? Don't forget from this film, "Get back in there, you mock turtle!" and "Listen the last man that said that to me was Archie Leach just a week before he cut his throat." Both are references to Cary Grant.
I always crack up, in literal tears, at the telephone scene from Dr Strangelove. Even a short clip of it here, without the context of the film. Peter Sellers was a fucking genius.
Look for the video of Peter Sellers impersonating Laurence Olivier, playing the part of Richard III while reciting the lines from the Beatles, "Hard Days Night". Others have recited lines from a song in a serious manner to show us the incongruity but no one has done it in such a convoluted way, in such a funny fashion.
+hootypatootie I disagree. I think understanding the mechanics behind things can deepen your appreciation for them and amplify the quality you're learning about. I think that's part of why I enjoy all the videos from Every Frame a Painting so much. He goes into depth to explain a very narrow aspect of film and it makes me appreciate it all the more. Imagine one of these list points stretched out to an entire video and being presented by an actual filmmaker and lover of the craft. For the best example, see his video on Jackie Chan and physical comedy. Sheer brilliance.
***** Isn't finding something funny just appreciating how funny it is? I see the two as linked. I don't think knowing WHY something is funny makes it any less funny.
The Stonehenge sequence is one of the funniest moments in cinema. I was amused by the whole sequence but what pushed me over the edge was the line "Stonehenge was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf!" I laughed and laughed, For around 5 minutes. I couldn't stop. I managed to pause the film and had to lie down until it stopped. My stomach hurt, I felt light headed, but my goodness it was spectacular.
I think you misunderstand pat of your "His Girl Friday" example. Cary Grant's character knows he has the wrong man. He is using the fake misunderstanding to further infuriate Hildy and, as a bonus, her real fiance.
Exactly it is a passive aggressive act, a test to see how the fiance reacts. The character is a cocky person who does things for their own entertainment & gain.
1: Crowded Cabin (A Night at the Opera) 2: The Pellet with the Poison's In the Vessel with the Pestle (The Court Jester) 3: The New Sheriff (Blazing Saddles) 4: French Taunter (Monty Python and the Holy Grail) 5: Mirror Scene (Duck Soup) 6: Captain Oveur Hitting On Joey (Airplane!) 7: Confusion over Virgil Starkwell's Holdde-Up Note (Take the Money and Run) 8: Cary Grant in the Bath Robe (Bringing Up Baby) 9: "Nobody's Perfect" (Some Like It Hot) 10: Wheel of Fish (UHF)
Yes to the French castle in the “Holy Grail!” Inspired silliness. And yes to “Take the Money and Run.” That kind of disrespect is what Woody Allen does best. So funny.
The scene from "All of Me" where Steve Martin's character is fighting w/ Lily Tomlin's character, whose soul has entered his body, is hilarious. One of my favorites. That whole _movie_ is great.Steve Martin also has a great scene from "Parenthood", the one where he's trying to make up an interesting story for a bunch of kids. "And I was slipping around on his guts".🤣 Funny stuff.
One of the funniest things I've ever seen was in Betelgeuse. Catherine O'hara dancing around the dinner table to Day-o. The shock and confusion on her face cracks me up every time I watch it.
'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World'.......Everything about that scene at the beginning, when the guys run down the side of the cliff & find Jimmy Durante.
What about unintentional humour? Just imagine a category in which "The Room", Shyamalan movies and Neil Breen movies etc. were all mentioned in the same bracket?
For me "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" is the funniest movie of all times. I've seen the whipping scene dozens of times and it still makes me laugh to tears. Perfectly scripted, acted and timed. Plus the locations are beautiful.
You’ve probably heard this a million times but I absolutely Love that you Love movies as much as I do, nay, way more so! The way you explain and dissect the movies and scenes and ground them with logic and respect and the passion in you voice makes me really tear up about finding a movie buff soulmate. Thank you for all your videos Cinefix! I will never not recommend them.
as much as I love Dr.Strangelove and Sellers delivery is pitch perfect...the one side of a two way phone conversation routine really should be credited to Bob Newhart.
Cris Edbauer, 1. Newhart never did that in a movie. 2. They never said he originated it, just that he played it perfectly. 3. Newhart’s gag was based largely on the incongruity/impossibility of the person he was speaking to being able to use a phone, or talk in 1960’s hipster speak, because they were all characters from history.
mklaing09 Newhart did his phone routine in uniform with a walkie-talkie in Hell is for Heroes, a 1962 WWII flick. Newhart’s character pretended to talk to HQ for the Germans to overhear via a microphone left behind when they withdrew from the bunker Newhart is taking cover in, and it was a classic bit of comic relief in a pretty grim war movie.
I just rewatched this and my brain dug up an homage to the mirror scene in Lucille Ball’s post-I Love Lucy show. Harpo Marx was the guest and he was Lucy’s mirror image. She kept up quite well.
the whole movie is flat out amazing. As is The God of Cookery. Watch KFH with someone who is a native Cantonese speaker - they can fill in some of the other jokes that get lost in translation.
Ethe[R] Music oh sorry I thought it was movie... oh wait it was. calm down. have you ever seen Gummo or any other Harmony Korine movie? All he does is mix comedy and the disturbing... bro.
jack mihoff Oh shit just looked at my comment and realized I came off as stubborn and shit hahaha. Didn't mean it like that man, I was trying to say how I thought it was sad and can't see anyone as finding it funny, in a "really nigga?", punch in the shoulder kinda way, you feel?. I've seen Gummo as well and I see what you mean, he definitely does combine disturbing and comedic but in my opinion, the scene with the no legs guy was communicating the Kids' naivety. Notice how Telly was just telling Casper about how he really wanted to fuck that disabled girl he saw, but when a disabled guy with no legs on a skateboard came past them, they both looked at him in shock and Casper even gave him a coin. Only good deed in the whole film came from the two boys being exposed to something they were completely naive to and a part of reality they hadn't yet experienced, because at the end of the day, they are still KIDS. This is also one of the very few times in the film where the camera pans away from the kids, as they are still learning and unaware of their sorroundings. Anywho, thats just my interpretation, just looked over it again and I can see that getting some easy laughs, sorry for my unintended arrogance earlier
Kung Fu Hustle is soo funny, but it's soo dark also, the Black Axe Gang, and the two people sat at that musical instrument the notes come out of, I was gobsmacked at that scene, so didn't expect that in what I thought was just a comedy. If you have not seen it, please go and watch it.
In several of these films, you've misread the humor entirely. In His Girl Friday, Cary Grant's Walter hasn't made a mistake at all, and isn't fixated on trying to impress the "wrong" Bruce. He is having a dig at his ex-wife by pretending that surely her fiance must be the little old man. It's all part of his friendly banter with her and his "forgetting" to hold the door for her and his little comments; this is how they interact, and she's used to it. You can see it in her expression the whole time that she knows he's doing this on purpose to rile her. And in Office Space, the humor lies not in the incongruity of the music with the scene, but in the fact that the music is absolutely in complete congruity with how the men see themselves in their heads. It's funny because the music reveals to us how they feel. The scene from the Dragon Tattoo that you try (and fail) to compare with it doesn't have the same setup at all -- the music may clash with the scene, but it does not serve as a window into the character's self-image.
Exactly thank you **hoof bump**. With all of these there are many different levels to the humor & it seemed like they were just attempting to apply one theory to each scene rather than actually dissect & analyze it.
Yeah. I felt like Fincher really wasn't going for humor or levity in that scene from Dragon Tattoo. It takes place at a point in the story where you're still reeling from the realization that Martin Vanger is a sadistic killer, and that Mikael Blomkvist is in an increasingly hopeless situation, and you're not sure if Lisbeth will get to the scene in time to save him. The cheery sounding music clashing with the hopeless situation is supposed to heighten the feeling of discomfort, and fear of the brutal murder you're certain is about to take place. It makes me think of that squirming feeling I get in my gut when I think about the prospect of watching actual footage of real people dying (yeah, I know. How silly of me to get uncomfortable with the idea of death. I just don't like seeing people get hurt for real.).
Danny Kaye's confusion in The Court Jester: the vessel with the pestle has the potion that is poison and the flagon with the dragon has the brew that is true. Or something like that.
agree. soooo clever. especially when he says 'there's been a change...; is the danny kaye scene where he becomes magnetized vial a lightning strike and keeps being pulled into metal things in that movie? that is hilarious!
And the scene where he is being made a knight and the king tells them to speed up the ceremony...it gets faster and faster ua-cam.com/video/oskCypnfoA8/v-deo.html
I agree that this movie should have made the list for at least one of several scenes that were hilarious. How 'bout the scene where Danny Kaye is disguised as the old man with his daughter who can't talk and uses sign language? They're being interrogated by the "bad guys" and the 'daughter' is giving a long, drawn out answer via sign language and Danny Kaye gives the interpretation as, "No." "Why did it take her so long," the interrogator asks. "She stutters," came the explanation.
Brother, you missed the entire take on the His Girl Friday scene... the Grant character deliberately chose the old man to demean the couple, it was no case of mistaken identity.
i heard that apparently he did the deadpan thing so well because he genuinely didnt find the movies he was in funny. like he understood why it was funny but it wasnt his cup of tea.
Can I just give a shout out to a little movie called About Time? Several scenes in this movie slay me, but the one at the daughter's first birthday party, where Rory brings a giant teddy bear, says "I've heard you're never supposed to bring a gift smaller than the baby" and the camera pans to Harry who has a tiny teddy bear and sunglasses on with this look of "Shut the fuck up." Love it.
I think you kinda missed it on the his girl-friday one. He knew the whole TIME that the old man wasn't her fiance. He was intentionally insulting her by pretending to THINK he was. He was essentially saying; this is the best I think you can do for a prospective husband, then acting shocked that she actually landed something better. The pretending the old man had caused the mix-up was just icing on the cake.
Just to name a few "Duck season! Rabbit season! Dusk season! Shoot!" from Bugs Bunny, Ace Ventura walking, talking in reverse, "singing" while sliding the door, Red Bull scene from Yes Man, whole Spaceballs, Buddy Love laughing at Reggies jokes.
I think you forgot one type of joke, the gut punch. A joke that comes right out of no where and hits you hard. This can be a line or an action. Best example I can think of is the grade school line from fight club
What I love about the glass scene in The Princess Bride is that it is constant reversals of superiority. He could have just picked the glass in front of Westley, but he also needs to feel superior. He switches the glasses because he thinks he'll make Westley feel superior but then be torn down by "dying" from the poison, where he starts laughing about being superior before he dies because he was wrong.
#3 I have to thank you for including this scene. I laughed harder than I ever had in my life during that scene. I was in a VERY small theater with only about 30 seats. There were only three people in there; a couple and me. All three of us laughed so hard we literally fell out of our seats.
Karen Brown but does he REALLY need to elaborate the obvious? I understand a good or funny follow up point, but these are funny moments (that we all came to see without all the blah blah) that really don't need ANY further explanation... I mean my God, he's ruining GREAT FUNNY moments!!!
4 out of these 10 picks - *"Timing"*; 10 out of these 10 picks - *"SURPRISE".* Hahah, you didn't mention _the two_ elements that create comedy, from which all those other factors are way easier to explain. But heck, I love the work you put into this video, into writing, voice delivery (by the way impeccable!) and editing.
Thanks Daniel. Good to see you in the comments again. The Incongruity Theory actually does a really good job accounting for surprise - it suggests that comedy comes from a SUDDEN REALIZATION/COLLAPSE of incongruity, which... in your terms... is essentially surprise. We just failed to make that (obvious) connection. And you're totally right. Wasn't Clint on fire with this VO? I specifically told him that whatever secret sauce he's using to keep using it.
***** ! Your replying made my day! I guess I'mma read up on Incongruity Theory now (See the folks complaining about "explaining jokes" down here? I'm totally guilty along with you guys - I'll theorize the sheet out of humor (so I can do it too!)).
Life is Beautiful’s “seven seconds”, “Praying to Mary for a new hat”, and “Maria, the key!” cracks me up every time along with most of the first half of the film where we fall in love with the family before our hearts break. His Girl Friday is more funny because Cary Grant’s character knows full well who the real husband is. He’s just playing the fool to play a joke on his ex and the fiancé.
Leslie Neilson was involved in several of the movie scenes that make me laugh the most consistently. "I am serious, and don't call me Shirley," tops it for me.
I’m not saying this is necessarily my favorite comedic scene, although I do love it, but I’ve never seen a crowd react in hysterics like the “Franks and Beans” scene from There’s Something About Mary. The entire sold-out theater was convulsing in laughter.
I was sixteen years old when i saw Dr. Strangelove and I remember one thing. I went alone to the movies and sat on an aisle seat. When Peter Sellers, playibng the German scientist starts spinning in his wheel chair and his arm uncontrollably keeps giving the nazi salute... I FELL OUT OF MY SEAT AND INTO THE AISLE WITH UNCONTROLLABLE LAUGHTER. I never did that before or since. I found the scene so funny that I actually ached because my sides hurt from laughter. i wish I could feel that 'release' again. The closest I ever came to it was reading some things in Mad Magazine, but I never fell out of my chair from laughter. I read that Kubrick originally ended the movie with a pie fight in the War Room. He filmed it but never used it. Instead, he used videos of nuclear bombs exploding and a happy, peaceful song is playing in the background. He made the right choice. Thanks, Stanley Kubrick for my wonderful experience of uncontrollable laughter.
I nearly died when they only showed a clip of Lancelot's Charge from "Holy Grail" not only because of the hilarity of it, but also because of the scene's tension and anticipation, followed by it's release and relief from the first stabbing through the hilarious massacre that follows, and THEN, to top it all off, the incongruity of the conversation afterwords. That scene has it all and it's elfin' hilarious! Screw it, imma watch it now.
literally for years I would laugh at the scene in "Men in Tights" right after Robin and Little John are fighting over crossing a bridge. John looses his step and fall into a trickle of water. With screaming fear of death from drowning begs for help. Sorry, to me that was one of the funniest scenes ever.
I also love Kung Fu Hustle, but I think the problem is that it's a really "tough sell" to new watchers. There just isn't that much crossover between "kung-fu flick fans" and "looney tunes fans" but that's who it's made for.
A clever addition to the 'Princess Bride' scene is that Vizzini is completely correct. During his verbal gyrations, he concludes that he "can clearly not choose the wine in front of you, can clearly not choose the wine in front of me."; given that both goblets contained the poison, Vizzini actually figured it out! He just didn't realize it.
What! Not even a mention for "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" or "What's Up Doc?"...?? These are classics that combine wit, slapstick, and overall pace. Thanks for the nods to Dr. Strangelove, The Producers, and Holy Grail! 😊 This was a lot of fun!
What's with the people complaining about Clint explaining or talking too much? Don't they know these videos aren't the conventional top 10 where they simply show clips? This channel and these videos in particular are more of film analysis so why are they so surprised/upset he analyzes these moments? By the way, this video was very fascinating and can't wait for more. Oh, I also recommend watching Every Frame a Painting, particularly his videos about Edgar Wright visual comedy, The Art of Buster Keaton and one about Jackie Chan to supplement this theme of comedy and funniest movie moments.
In My Girl Friday, Cary Grant knows perfectly well that the old man is not her husband. He’s teasing his ex-wife and making fun of the new husband, who earnestly believes him, whereas the exwife knows better.
Abby Barron, while Grant is underrated as an actor, this seen has long been held up as sublime. Perhaps you’re confusing having been forgotten by later generations with being underrated.

Exactly. That was a funny scene but it seemed more placed on dialogue. If a scene like that won the category I feel like Han Solo's "Uh, had a slight weapons malfunction. But, uh, everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?" scene from 'A New Hope' would win that battle, better still that it was improvised.
Peyton DiGregory totally agree
Honestly not even the funniest exchange in His Girl Friday, nor an especially uniquely framed paraprosdokian, even for the time. Ninotchka, The Major and the Minor, Bringing Up Baby (even mentioned in the video) and To Be Or Not To Be all came out around the same time and all did it better. Don't blame the time period for a bad clip.
For me, the number 5 scene is easily one of the funniest scenes of all time. My favourite from the list. It doesn't rely on the actor that much, but it's hilarious!
That Django mask scene is absolute comic gold and the fact that Don Johnson is part of it makes it all the better.
Hilarious!!!!
U need to add “Unchained,” every time
You totally misinterpreted the scene in "His Girl Friday." Grant's character knew the old man was not her fiance, he simply wanted to humiliate her.
AND him
Couldn't agree more. How do cinefix, with their obvious intelligence, miss this? Bizarre frankly!
@@pjn3459 They're just smug, it sounds intellectual but isn't.
13:05 ""GOD ***M"" comment the by host UNCALLED FOR ...
He gets it all wrong because he completely forgot his original premises?!
Monty python is just.....amazing. Same with Mel brooks.
Thank you Cinefix for finally putting the film titles at the bottom of your videos!
black letters with a white border are the best subtitle letters. (hint hint)
That Django unchained scene was so hilarious it deserved more than a honorable mention in my opinion
"always look on the bright side of life" sang by a dozen or so guys who have just been crucified. How comes that didn't make it?
Too Soon?
Maybe because crucifixion isn't funny?
Monty python.
@@jguenther3049 it is if we are Talking about Monthy Python. They can make everything hysterical.
Let's not forget about the "Walk like John Wayne" scene in La Cage aux Folles.
I'm sad to say, I've never seen This is Spinal Tap, but that Stonehenge gag was fucking amazing!
"but this one goes to 11"
I've watched it now and it was great. Thanks, Netflix.
When i saw that Monty Python and the Holy Grail was on the list I was expecting the "She turned me into a newt" line!
Or: "He must be the king...he ain't covered in shit like the rest of us!"
A newt!?
"...got better."
Or "your father was a hamster and your mother smelt of elderberries". That movie is #1 on my list of funniest movies!
But many of the other selections are as great. Spaceballs, Office Space, Marx brothers... And BTW, these are also on my personal top 10.
One that isn't mentioned that makes a great inconguity joke is the bomb scene early in Last action hero. The countdown for the bomb is perfect! "5, 4, 3, 2... It's a bomb!"
One of the funniest moments in "His Girl Friday" is when Cary Grant is giving a physical description of Hildy's Fiancee and he says ... " He looks a bit like that Actor fellow,what's his name Ralph Belamy!"
The inside joke. Another category? Don't forget from this film, "Get back in there, you mock turtle!" and "Listen the last man that said that to me was Archie Leach just a week before he cut his throat." Both are references to Cary Grant.
I loved all the honourable mentions and was "meh" about all their actual choices
Same here. At some point I just felt they were trying too hard to pick something not so popular just to look smart.
@@juanmikan8289 Other than Duck Soup, all the top picks are popular.
I always crack up, in literal tears, at the telephone scene from Dr Strangelove. Even a short clip of it here, without the context of the film. Peter Sellers was a fucking genius.
"Of course I like to speak to you! Of course I like to say hello!"
Look for the video of Peter Sellers impersonating Laurence Olivier, playing the part of Richard III while reciting the lines from the Beatles, "Hard Days Night". Others have recited lines from a song in a serious manner to show us the incongruity but no one has done it in such a convoluted way, in such a funny fashion.
A fine example of how over-explaining makes things unfunny.
hootypatootie Not if you've seen the movies and enjoy them. Like the scene in This Spinal Tap, Monty Python: Holy Grail or Bruce Almighty.
+hootypatootie I disagree. I think understanding the mechanics behind things can deepen your appreciation for them and amplify the quality you're learning about. I think that's part of why I enjoy all the videos from Every Frame a Painting so much. He goes into depth to explain a very narrow aspect of film and it makes me appreciate it all the more. Imagine one of these list points stretched out to an entire video and being presented by an actual filmmaker and lover of the craft. For the best example, see his video on Jackie Chan and physical comedy. Sheer brilliance.
Shrigis Being funny and deepening the appreciation are two different things. The OP is talking about the former.
+Shrigis Totally agree. Tony's videos on visual comedy great at explaining the rudiments of how to do it right. This video has similar intent.
***** Isn't finding something funny just appreciating how funny it is? I see the two as linked. I don't think knowing WHY something is funny makes it any less funny.
I haven't seen that Marx Brothers Mirror scene for decades. even after that brief moment it has me in tears laughing .. brilliant!
The Stonehenge sequence is one of the funniest moments in cinema.
I was amused by the whole sequence but what pushed me over the edge was the line "Stonehenge was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf!"
I laughed and laughed, For around 5 minutes. I couldn't stop. I managed to pause the film and had to lie down until it stopped. My stomach hurt, I felt light headed, but my goodness it was spectacular.
I think you misunderstand pat of your "His Girl Friday" example. Cary Grant's character knows he has the wrong man. He is using the fake misunderstanding to further infuriate Hildy and, as a bonus, her real fiance.
I thought the same thing as I watched ..the joke is that he intentionally goes to the wrong person
Correct. His character winds people up. He knows what he is doing.
Exactly it is a passive aggressive act, a test to see how the fiance reacts. The character is a cocky person who does things for their own entertainment & gain.
And, Hildy gets it right away!
Sammy Ariel, you’re right in your 2nd statement, but it’s not “passive aggressive”.
1: Crowded Cabin (A Night at the Opera)
2: The Pellet with the Poison's In the Vessel with the Pestle (The Court Jester)
3: The New Sheriff (Blazing Saddles)
4: French Taunter (Monty Python and the Holy Grail)
5: Mirror Scene (Duck Soup)
6: Captain Oveur Hitting On Joey (Airplane!)
7: Confusion over Virgil Starkwell's Holdde-Up Note (Take the Money and Run)
8: Cary Grant in the Bath Robe (Bringing Up Baby)
9: "Nobody's Perfect" (Some Like It Hot)
10: Wheel of Fish (UHF)
I was thinking the same!
The pellet with the Poison!!! classic
"I just went *_GAY_* all of a sudden!"
Springtime for Hitler! from The Producers
Yes to the French castle in the “Holy Grail!” Inspired silliness. And yes to “Take the Money and Run.” That kind of disrespect is what Woody Allen does best. So funny.
In True Lies when Jamie Lee Curtis falls while pole dancing on the bed is one that gets me EVERY TIME!
The scene from "All of Me" where Steve Martin's character is fighting w/ Lily Tomlin's character, whose soul has entered his body, is hilarious. One of my favorites. That whole _movie_ is great.Steve Martin also has a great scene from "Parenthood", the one where he's trying to make up an interesting story for a bunch of kids. "And I was slipping around on his guts".🤣 Funny stuff.
What about
"The Man With Two Brains"?
One of the funniest things I've ever seen was in Betelgeuse. Catherine O'hara dancing around the dinner table to Day-o. The shock and confusion on her face cracks me up every time I watch it.
THANK YOU for putting the name (and year) of every movie. Now I love you even more. :)
The funniest moment? The end of SOME LIKE IT HOT when Jack Lemmon reacts to Joe E. Brown's line "well, nobody's perfect."
'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World'.......Everything about that scene at the beginning, when the guys run down the side of the cliff & find Jimmy Durante.
What about unintentional humour? Just imagine a category in which "The Room", Shyamalan movies and Neil Breen movies etc. were all mentioned in the same bracket?
KissMyAsthma as much as they are funny, they lack techniques to analyse
I agree, it ain't nothing "learnable" in their humor.
KissMyAsthma I imagine that it goes along the idea of the superiority theory. We can laugh at the incompetency of these directors and actors.
Dysturbed1 You got it.
KissMyAsthma superiority definitely
For me "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" is the funniest movie of all times. I've seen the whipping scene dozens of times and it still makes me laugh to tears. Perfectly scripted, acted and timed. Plus the locations are beautiful.
"NOT Mother?" and
"May I go to the bathroom?"
It's a very good one. Similarly, "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles".
steve martin! yeah they need to stick to drama, this list sucks
The movie that this was a remake of was better. "Bedtime Story" with David Niven and Marlon Brando in his funniest role.
My mom and I quote it when we call each other. I'll say 'Mother?' and she'll respond 'not mother?' The best!
You’ve probably heard this a million times but I absolutely Love that you Love movies as much as I do, nay, way more so! The way you explain and dissect the movies and scenes and ground them with logic and respect and the passion in you voice makes me really tear up about finding a movie buff soulmate.
Thank you for all your videos Cinefix! I will never not recommend them.
Peter Sellers is THE KING!!! No matter what he tackles he makes it hysterical!!!
Sole exception IMHO:
"Being There"
as much as I love Dr.Strangelove and Sellers delivery is pitch perfect...the one side of a two way phone conversation routine really should be credited to Bob Newhart.
"Now how do you think I feel Dimitrie ?"
"You know how we always worried that something would go wrong with the Bomb? The Bomb, Dimitri. The Hydrogen Bomb?"
Cris Edbauer, 1. Newhart never did that in a movie. 2. They never said he originated it, just that he played it perfectly. 3. Newhart’s gag was based largely on the incongruity/impossibility of the person he was speaking to being able to use a phone, or talk in 1960’s hipster speak, because they were all characters from history.
mklaing09 Newhart did his phone routine in uniform with a walkie-talkie in Hell is for Heroes, a 1962 WWII flick. Newhart’s character pretended to talk to HQ for the Germans to overhear via a microphone left behind when they withdrew from the bunker Newhart is taking cover in, and it was a classic bit of comic relief in a pretty grim war movie.
I'm not sure Newhart was the originator. You should look up Shelly Barman.
Duck Soup is one of my most favorite comedies of all time, I could watch that movie every day and keep on laughing.
SpiderMwa Hail, hail Fredonia
"I'll teach you to kick me!"
"You don't have to teach me, I know how!"
_"Gentlemen. You can't fight in here. This is the War Room!"_
I just rewatched this and my brain dug up an homage to the mirror scene in Lucille Ball’s post-I Love Lucy show. Harpo Marx was the guest and he was Lucy’s mirror image. She kept up quite well.
Veeta-Vita-Vegamin!!!
It was also beautifully handled by Bette Midler in "Big Business".
@@michaeljordan5224 Everyone did a nice job in that scene.
the Kung Fu Hustle knife scene is just gold

you forgot that moment in KIDS when the homeless man on the train comes out and sings "I have no legs" lol
lold
Ethe[R] Music oh sorry I thought it was movie... oh wait it was. calm down. have you ever seen Gummo or any other Harmony Korine movie? All he does is mix comedy and the disturbing... bro.
jack mihoff
Oh shit just looked at my comment and realized I came off as stubborn and shit hahaha. Didn't mean it like that man, I was trying to say how I thought it was sad and can't see anyone as finding it funny, in a "really nigga?", punch in the shoulder kinda way, you feel?. I've seen Gummo as well and I see what you mean, he definitely does combine disturbing and comedic but in my opinion, the scene with the no legs guy was communicating the Kids' naivety. Notice how Telly was just telling Casper about how he really wanted to fuck that disabled girl he saw, but when a disabled guy with no legs on a skateboard came past them, they both looked at him in shock and Casper even gave him a coin. Only good deed in the whole film came from the two boys being exposed to something they were completely naive to and a part of reality they hadn't yet experienced, because at the end of the day, they are still KIDS. This is also one of the very few times in the film where the camera pans away from the kids, as they are still learning and unaware of their sorroundings. Anywho, thats just my interpretation, just looked over it again and I can see that getting some easy laughs, sorry for my unintended arrogance earlier
Holy shit thats awesome that you saw him. How's he doing, like is he living on the streets?
Well at least you gave Kung Fu Hustle an honorable mention.
Kung Fu Hustle is underrated.
Kung Fu Hustle is soo funny, but it's soo dark also, the Black Axe Gang, and the two people sat at that musical instrument the notes come out of, I was gobsmacked at that scene, so didn't expect that in what I thought was just a comedy. If you have not seen it, please go and watch it.
That one is gold.
W. C. Fields' "It's a Gift." I hurt myself laughing.
These are the most well thought-out, best list videos on UA-cam. Definitely my favorite channel.
In several of these films, you've misread the humor entirely. In His Girl Friday, Cary Grant's Walter hasn't made a mistake at all, and isn't fixated on trying to impress the "wrong" Bruce. He is having a dig at his ex-wife by pretending that surely her fiance must be the little old man. It's all part of his friendly banter with her and his "forgetting" to hold the door for her and his little comments; this is how they interact, and she's used to it. You can see it in her expression the whole time that she knows he's doing this on purpose to rile her.
And in Office Space, the humor lies not in the incongruity of the music with the scene, but in the fact that the music is absolutely in complete congruity with how the men see themselves in their heads. It's funny because the music reveals to us how they feel. The scene from the Dragon Tattoo that you try (and fail) to compare with it doesn't have the same setup at all -- the music may clash with the scene, but it does not serve as a window into the character's self-image.
Exactly thank you **hoof bump**. With all of these there are many different levels to the humor & it seemed like they were just attempting to apply one theory to each scene rather than actually dissect & analyze it.
Yeah. I felt like Fincher really wasn't going for humor or levity in that scene from Dragon Tattoo. It takes place at a point in the story where you're still reeling from the realization that Martin Vanger is a sadistic killer, and that Mikael Blomkvist is in an increasingly hopeless situation, and you're not sure if Lisbeth will get to the scene in time to save him. The cheery sounding music clashing with the hopeless situation is supposed to heighten the feeling of discomfort, and fear of the brutal murder you're certain is about to take place. It makes me think of that squirming feeling I get in my gut when I think about the prospect of watching actual footage of real people dying (yeah, I know. How silly of me to get uncomfortable with the idea of death. I just don't like seeing people get hurt for real.).

@@sdnpls Thank you for contributing so much to the conversation with your sparkling wit.
You dont know him you cant judge him look at your own life he do wha he want
Danny Kaye's confusion in The Court Jester: the vessel with the pestle has the potion that is poison and the flagon with the dragon has the brew that is true. Or something like that.
I was waiting for that too! Cant believ it didnt make it in the list.
agree. soooo clever. especially when he says 'there's been a change...;
is the danny kaye scene where he becomes magnetized vial a lightning strike and keeps being pulled
into metal things in that movie? that is hilarious!
And the scene where he is being made a knight and the king tells them to speed up the ceremony...it gets faster and faster ua-cam.com/video/oskCypnfoA8/v-deo.html
I agree that this movie should have made the list for at least one of several scenes that were hilarious. How 'bout the scene where Danny Kaye is disguised as the old man with his daughter who can't talk and uses sign language? They're being interrogated by the "bad guys" and the 'daughter' is giving a long, drawn out answer via sign language and Danny Kaye gives the interpretation as, "No." "Why did it take her so long," the interrogator asks. "She stutters," came the explanation.
The pellet with the poison is in the vessel with the pestle. The chalice from the palace has the brew that is true.
Brother, you missed the entire take on the His Girl Friday scene... the Grant character deliberately chose the old man to demean the couple, it was no case of mistaken identity.
@@an5uuu
hilarious
Exactly. I haven't seen the movie but from the ex wife's reaction it was obvious she understood what he was up to
I can't believe that of all Jim Carrey moments that one got a place on the list.
no comedy list would be complete without leslie nielsen, the man was a comedy genius.
Which is great when you know that he started out as a serious dramatic actor. If i remember right Airplane was one of his first comedic roles.
exactly, he started off as a serious actor but after the 1980's Airplane a comedy legend was born.
I think it came from his experience in serious roles giving him the ability to just make a complete deadpan delivery of any line
I'm not sure how I fee that he was used for examples, but didn't make the list.
i heard that apparently he did the deadpan thing so well because he genuinely didnt find the movies he was in funny.
like he understood why it was funny but it wasnt his cup of tea.
I never stop laughing, because of Monty Python.
It looks like I picked the wrong week to watch cinefix.
"In studying, you must have learned that man is mortal." One of the greatest deadpan lines ever
Can I just give a shout out to a little movie called About Time? Several scenes in this movie slay me, but the one at the daughter's first birthday party, where Rory brings a giant teddy bear, says "I've heard you're never supposed to bring a gift smaller than the baby" and the camera pans to Harry who has a tiny teddy bear and sunglasses on with this look of "Shut the fuck up."
Love it.
yess! that scene made me go crazy😂
Alex Bisel
That is a brilliant moment. 😂😂😂
That movie made me laugh so hard, but also made my tears falling...
I think you kinda missed it on the his girl-friday one. He knew the whole TIME that the old man wasn't her fiance. He was intentionally insulting her by pretending to THINK he was. He was essentially saying; this is the best I think you can do for a prospective husband, then acting shocked that she actually landed something better. The pretending the old man had caused the mix-up was just icing on the cake.
Just to name a few "Duck season! Rabbit season! Dusk season! Shoot!" from Bugs Bunny, Ace Ventura walking, talking in reverse, "singing" while sliding the door, Red Bull scene from Yes Man, whole Spaceballs, Buddy Love laughing at Reggies jokes.
I think you forgot one type of joke, the gut punch. A joke that comes right out of no where and hits you hard. This can be a line or an action. Best example I can think of is the grade school line from fight club
BRBPancake I think I know why they didn’t feature this line though.
Every vine ever.
That would still count as expectation subversion
What I love about the glass scene in The Princess Bride is that it is constant reversals of superiority. He could have just picked the glass in front of Westley, but he also needs to feel superior. He switches the glasses because he thinks he'll make Westley feel superior but then be torn down by "dying" from the poison, where he starts laughing about being superior before he dies because he was wrong.
#3 I have to thank you for including this scene. I laughed harder than I ever had in my life during that scene. I was in a VERY small theater with only about 30 seats. There were only three people in there; a couple and me. All three of us laughed so hard we literally fell out of our seats.

4 out of these 10 picks - *"Timing"*; 10 out of these 10 picks - *"SURPRISE".* Hahah, you didn't mention _the two_ elements that create comedy, from which all those other factors are way easier to explain. But heck, I love the work you put into this video, into writing, voice delivery (by the way impeccable!) and editing.
Thanks Daniel. Good to see you in the comments again.
The Incongruity Theory actually does a really good job accounting for surprise - it suggests that comedy comes from a SUDDEN REALIZATION/COLLAPSE of incongruity, which... in your terms... is essentially surprise. We just failed to make that (obvious) connection.
And you're totally right. Wasn't Clint on fire with this VO? I specifically told him that whatever secret sauce he's using to keep using it.
***** ! Your replying made my day!
I guess I'mma read up on Incongruity Theory now (See the folks complaining about "explaining jokes" down here? I'm totally guilty along with you guys - I'll theorize the sheet out of humor (so I can do it too!)).
Incongruous!
Ronald Reagan thought the Dr Strangelove War Room was real and asked to see it.
Life is Beautiful’s “seven seconds”, “Praying to Mary for a new hat”, and “Maria, the key!” cracks me up every time along with most of the first half of the film where we fall in love with the family before our hearts break.
His Girl Friday is more funny because Cary Grant’s character knows full well who the real husband is. He’s just playing the fool to play a joke on his ex and the fiancé.
Leslie Neilson was involved in several of the movie scenes that make me laugh the most consistently. "I am serious, and don't call me Shirley," tops it for me.
Leslie Nielson as dracula no you come no no you stay

The entire sold-out theater was convulsing in laughter.
I always assumed that scene from My Girl Friday was his character being a troll & knowing exactly what he was doing.

I was sixteen years old when i saw Dr. Strangelove and I remember one thing. I went alone to the movies and sat on an aisle seat. When Peter Sellers, playibng the German scientist starts spinning in his wheel chair and his arm uncontrollably keeps giving the nazi salute... I FELL OUT OF MY SEAT AND INTO THE AISLE WITH UNCONTROLLABLE LAUGHTER. I never did that before or since. I found the scene so funny that I actually ached because my sides hurt from laughter.
i wish I could feel that 'release' again. The closest I ever came to it was reading some things in Mad Magazine, but I never fell out of my chair from laughter.
I read that Kubrick originally ended the movie with a pie fight in the War Room. He filmed it but never used it. Instead, he used videos of nuclear bombs exploding and a happy, peaceful song is playing in the background. He made the right choice.
Thanks, Stanley Kubrick for my wonderful experience of uncontrollable laughter.
I nearly died when they only showed a clip of Lancelot's Charge from "Holy Grail" not only because of the hilarity of it, but also because of the scene's tension and anticipation, followed by it's release and relief from the first stabbing through the hilarious massacre that follows, and THEN, to top it all off, the incongruity of the conversation afterwords. That scene has it all and it's elfin' hilarious!
Screw it, imma watch it now.
literally for years I would laugh at the scene in "Men in Tights" right after Robin and Little John are fighting over crossing a bridge. John looses his step and fall into a trickle of water. With screaming fear of death from drowning begs for help. Sorry, to me that was one of the funniest scenes ever.

The hardest I've ever laughed at any scene is Old School when "Stiffler" shoots the tranquilizer dart into Will Ferrell's neck.
.....YES!
.. That's awesome!
A clever addition to the 'Princess Bride' scene is that Vizzini is completely correct. During his verbal gyrations, he concludes that he "can clearly not choose the wine in front of you, can clearly not choose the wine in front of me."; given that both goblets contained the poison, Vizzini actually figured it out! He just didn't realize it.
What! Not even a mention for "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" or "What's Up Doc?"...?? These are classics that combine wit, slapstick, and overall pace.
Thanks for the nods to Dr. Strangelove, The Producers, and Holy Grail! 😊
This was a lot of fun!
What's with the people complaining about Clint explaining or talking too much? Don't they know these videos aren't the conventional top 10 where they simply show clips?
This channel and these videos in particular are more of film analysis so why are they so surprised/upset he analyzes these moments?
By the way, this video was very fascinating and can't wait for more.
Oh, I also recommend watching Every Frame a Painting, particularly his videos about Edgar Wright visual comedy, The Art of Buster Keaton and one about Jackie Chan to supplement this theme of comedy and funniest movie moments.
Enrique Prieto exactly! Some people are either dumb or don't know how this channel works.

Look at it this way - if you can watch this and still laugh at the scene later, it proves just _how_ masterful the joke really is.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. "No Ticket". I've never seen a theatre explode in laughter more that at that moment.
