Unintentionally hilarious moments in movies

Post Reply New Topic

I was just wondering what moments in movies made you laugh despite the fact that the moment was meant to be serious. Post clips if you wish.

One that comes to mind is the fridge scene from 1408, especially since John Cusack sounds like an angry duck towards the end of the scene.

Made me laugh out loud and I love John Cusak. I never saw 1408 so it seemed especially ridiculous.

I've seen this movie. I laughed at that part too.

Well I think that I found the the serious death in the movie 'L: Change the World', there was a part where a doctor injects himself with a virus so they would have incinerate himself in the work place. Now it is suposed to be a sad moment, but the I found it hilarious, and I don't usualy find those things funny, but he just takes so long thrashing around with sores appearing on his skin. The acting is pretty bad for this, and over the top then he thrusts up his head and bleed from the eyes, like in the picture below, and if he isn't dead yet they incinerate the room, and then afterwards he manages to throw himself at the window with his burnt corpse rubinng against the window simular to in the movie Inderpendance day.

i think "who's afraid of virginia woolfe" is hilarious.

i could not watch it in real time on the TV because i laughed so much that i could not get the whole essence from all the acts, and i wanted to replay so many scenes to succulate on their details, so i downloaded it .

it is my favorite movie. i find it extremely funny.

it is not supposed to be funny to average people.

the movie starts out with a woman in her 40's (e.taylor) who is interested in a strapping young athletic man (george segal ("just shoot me" was his most recent job i think)), and invites this strapping 24 year old hunk and his wife over to her house because she wants to seduce him.

e.taylor (martha) is also in a delusion about an imaginary son. she has a 45(?) year old husband (richard burton) called "george".

i so much identify with the character of "george" (played by r.burton), that i laugh hysterically at the accuracy of his portrayal of how i mostly am.

in a strange twist, the young mans wife seems to like the older george in preference to her husband, while the young man likes the older martha in preference to his young wife.

but "martha" actually loves her "george" more than she could ever love her new young sexual interest.


the young woman is hysterical and rather insignificant to the conduct of the proceedings, but she seems to be interested in a basal way in old george before she gets sick from the alcohol.
the link i am going to post is only 10 minutes inside "who's afraid of Virginia Woolfe"

i think it is hilarious and you should get the whole movie because it is a classic. (no one else i know thinks it is hilarious, but i so much identify with george that i cannot help but laugh (strange reaction i guess))

I don't have a clip, but in "The Mummy" from 1990's the male lead rears up and profoundly pontificates (as the moral lesson, no less) how "Remember the pyramid has three sides to symbolize the eternal family of a father, a mother and their child!" What balderdash! How inane? They did a whole movie and no one pointed out that a Pyramid has FOUR sides???


rediculous! and very funny. However I did notice I was the only person in the theatre laughing.

probably doesn't tie in, but in 'Who's afraid of Virginia Woolfe' Elizabeth Taylor is secually frustrated (and eating her ice cubes). After she's alone with the young guy, suddenly you can hear ice cubes in her glass...things that make ya go 'hmmmm'....

Shortliy before or after the movie Titanic came out, there was a preview for a short foreign movie called 'Chambermaid on the Titanic'. The whole audience broke out in laughter. By the time it actually reached the US, the Titanic reference was lost.

I hear that when the movie 'Free Willy' was prequeled in the UK, the audience lost it, because 'free willy' means something else over there...

Nevermind unintentional moments, I thought Titanic was one of the most unintentionally hilarious films I've ever seen! Me and a friend saw it at the cinema, and laughed pretty much from start to finish. Why? Well, perhaps something to do with the fact that the most solemn scenes were acted badly and fitted with bad, cheesy dialogue.

Remember that bit where the ship is standing up in the water and begins sinking, and all those people start falling off and bouncing against the hull of the ship and spinning wildly through the air? We laughed our heads off!

Remember the bit where the captain of the ship is standing there, the water rising around him, and suddenly a window smashes and the water blasts in? We laughed our heads off!

Remember the bit where a huge part of the ship falls on top of Leo DiCaprio's immigrant friend as he's trying to swim to safety, completely pummeling him? Yeah, that was hilarious!

But we almost couldn't cope with the scene where Leo DiCaprio is in the water at the end, blue-lipped and white-faced, croaking on about how Rose has "to go on" and all that.

Damn, that film was soooo corny!

Much of Kes (1969) made my family laugh even though it's not a comedy, especially when the brother is looking for Billy in the toilets and finds a boy in the cubicle.

"Oy 'ave you seen our Billy?"
"Aye 'e's in 'ere wiv me!"

Had to stop the tape to recover from laughing.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, when Senator Palpatine goes "Nooo... NOOOOO!" and makes that comical "O" shape with his mouth. I don't think there was a single person in the theater who WASN'T laughing.

This is kinda unrelated, but I find this funny.

The Land Before Time was the #1 movie in its opening weekend. And guess what the #1 the previous weekend was?

Child's Play

What's funny is that a horror film preceded a family flick at opening weekends. And I just found that out through Wikipedia.
