Unintentionally hilarious moments in movies

Post Reply New Topic

I just saw Burn After Reading again.

I giggle whenever John Malkovich says, "memoir."

The old movie, "Whatever happened to Baby Jane" with Bette Davis. She was terrorizing her sister and the scenes where she served her the dead rat and bird were supposed to be shocking, but I was laughing nonstop!

A scene out of Apocalypto when the chief at the top of the building tosses a head down. All I could think of was "Here's the Big Chief going for the 7-10 split!" LOL!!

I don't know that anyone else found it funny but in the original TMNT liveaction from 1990 right at the of the scene where the "Foot" burn down April's antique shop just th last second before Casey Jones ducks out through the trap door, when the flame has finally burnt through the phonecord and the answering machine falls on the foot soldier's head knocking him out. I don't find it funny because it knocked him out but because when the thing hits him his body shutters as though he's been mildly electrocuted rather than hit over the head with something.

I have to agree with that one. It was pretty funny.

guess what? When it first came out everyone was laughing too! At the time was a type of humor called 'camp' and believe me, the old movie icons Bette Davis and Joan Crawford were knee deep in it. They were playing caricatures of themselves, mostly and camp was hilariously funny to 'some' people and perfectly horrid to others. Also called the 'theatre of the absurd'. I was in high school and we screamed with laughter at the seeming 'horror' of it all.

I know this is lame...but here goes.

Both my friend and I had to hold back our laughter during the first Harry Potter movie during Snape's first potions lesson.

During Snape's (Alan Rickman) introduction to the subject of potions, he pauses for a second and stares at Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) and then continues his introduction in a somewhat seductive voice. This is broken up by Snape noticing that Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is writing notes rather than looking at him. Still funny, nonetheless.

I present: Pedophile! Snape:

The premiere of "The Two Towers" at my local cinema, when Smeagol/Gollum has his schizophrenic moment and talks to himself. The audience couldn't stop laughing, no one expected to see that in the film!

Every line of dialogue in ShowGirls is hilarious!!
The sex scene in the pool is my favorie part!!
One of my all time favorite guilty pleasures!!

The skeleton battle in "Jason and the Argonauts"

And this other one may be less noticeable. In Kenneth Brannagh's "Much Ado About Nothing", during the second wedding scene, there's one of the wedding guests in the background who tries to jump over a bench and trips. I guess no-one noticed that when they were cutting the scene!!

When I saw it, everyone in the entire theater was howling with laughter at that part.

It was awesome.

Could that maybe have been one of those little silly bits that some directors like to slip into the background? If it's obvious from the scene itself that this is not the case, of course, never mind. Either way, though, it would be funny.

As for Brannagh, his version of Hamlet has many laughs in it. Some of course were written by Shakespeare, the bit about how they would find the freshly dead Polonius under the staircase sooner or later... by smell, if later. And, "He will stay until you find him." But the choice of actors is the source of much merriment. Billy Crystal was funny, because he played a funny character. Jack Lemmon was funny because what on this green planet was he doing playing Shakespeare?!? And Kenneth Brannagh was funny partially because of the white-blond hair and partially because Hamlet has been done so many ways and so many times that a man would be hard put to turn in a fresh performance and still deliver the lines in such a way as to keep the story moving and keep their meanings clear to a modern audience... and he fails to achieve any of this. He rambles his lines as though he knows what he means but we, sadly, seldom catch on. Horatio was much better.

Oh, and I agree also with that bit from Revenge of the Sith. Ho-ly crap that was funny. And I mean it was "How did this ever get to be the director's favorite take?" kind of funny! I only watch this movie with Rifftrax playing alongside anymore. Thus it is all put in its place when Sidius says, "You shall be called Darth..." and hesitates, and Mike Nelson of Rifftrax chimes, "Timberlake!" I still laugh aloud when I think of it.

After waching the "Austin Powers" movies, I cannot go through any spy film without cracking up! Because the Evil "Genius" will always put the hero in a place in wich even a 5-year-old could find an escape.

Like in "The Phantom Of The Opera" (the new movie) ther is a quote from the Phantom, "...nothing can save you now, exept perhaps ..."

That always get me laughing.

the sex-scene from spielberg's "Munich"

its just tragicomical..
