I love that scene from Good Will Hunting. Such genuine laughter. You can't watch that scene without at least smiling, even if you think the joke's not that funny.
Walter Shmitty Matt Damon and Tom Hanks also did it in Saving Private Ryan where Ryan is telling Captain Miller a story about the last time his brothers were all together and in the barn as that story was not scripted but made up by Damon on the spot.
I can't believe you guys forgot the classic scene from "Dumb and Dumber." Jim Carrey improvised the "wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?" line, and the editors had to cut away from Jeff Daniels because he busted up into laughter. You can see him start to laugh.
I cried like a friggin' baby when Robin passed on, even if somebody was to talk about how much he suffered I would get anxiety, shake, and start bawling rather if I'm in public or not!!
Man, for me is one of the greatest comedy/drama actor of all time, Robin make laugh a whole generation, I'm 37 years old by the way and I miss him dearly.
I had no idea that the lineup in the usual suspects was supposed to be serious! It works best that they are laughing. We know they are innocent that way.
The very first episode when Hyde is talking about the car that runs on water, the episode when Eric killed Donna's cat Kurtwood Smith breaks character when they're talking at the table, Eric's Hot Cousin episodes when Donna and Jackie are hitting each other when they got bad tans and I can recall two more but I can't remeber the episodes xoMsImperfect
One of my favourites is the 'Biggus Dickus' scene between Michael Palin and the Roman soldier in Life of Brian. Both of them are on the verge of cracking up during that scene.
+Helmut McFranklinstein yeah that really should be on this if they were to do a gameshow one qi's insane giant tortoise and parthenon one should be on the list
+Olly Hursey Actually this scene is even better than that -- the actors playing the guards were told that if they laughed they wouldn't get paid and so are desperately trying to keep a straight face. And Michael Palin improvised new lines in each take, so they had no way to prepare for what they would hear. Python were brutal, man :3
The part in the lineup scene in Usual Suspects where Stephen Baldwin hits Benicio in the arm then Benicio hits him back is absolutely brilliant on the spot acting. I feel like it always gets ignored because of the funny line readings (which are great). That one moment tells you more about those characters, their past, and how they view the police and the whole situation more than any dialogue.
Ned Lightowlers There's plenty of monty python scenes where you can see someone breaking charachter, in the Biggus Dickus scene Pilate almost laughs at one point
And as I said, t's a common myth that it was unscripted. The truth is that the guards were always supposed to be holding back laughter. Looking back, the scene wouldn't even have as much punch if the actors weren't laughing, nevermind the fact it's fairly obvious they're acting.
My favorite scene would be in 3rd Rock from the Sun, when John Lithgow was wearing leather pants that would squeak when he walked and Jane Curtain was cracking up so badly that they had to change cameras to give her a moment to compose herself so she could finish the scene.
I love 3rd rock from the sun., especially the laugh when Tom and Harry are feeding Mrs. Dubchecks grandchild and end up spitting it back in his face 😂 Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) couldn't keep his face straight :)
Ross Miller There must have been so many scenes like that on that show, also Seinfeld had some scenes, why the fuck did they use Friends but not Seinfeld or 3rd rock? THE BASTARDS!!!
+Ross Miller Any time those usually considered serious actors do something that would get a smile from a comedian's joke, it is incredibly funny as it is unexpected.
I don't think Star Wars bit was him hiding a smile. But instead him trying to portray great grief, as if he were crying. Classic move taught to every theatre student.
Does anyone else agree with me? On this channel, they talk waaayyyyy tooo much. Why explain eeeeverything that is about to happen and then show like 6 seconds of it. Way too much narration.
I don't think it qualifies though. Because ultimately the director *wanted* them to laugh/giggle in that scene but told the guards *not* to laugh in order to make their efforts realistic. So it was intentional.
Obiwan was laughing in Revenge of the Sith because he realized how much of a tool George Lucas was for making up a word for children. Younglings indeed.
That made me laugh watching it!!! There is a scene in Suite Life of Zack and Cody where Brian Stepanek's character improvises I do believe and u see the female in the scene begin to crack up
Friends is the funniest one. Especially the fact that Jennifer looked straight into camera when she was trying to hide her laugh but editors still left this take. Awesome!
He just told about someone he loved murdering children. I think it’s pretty normal to have the character cover his mouth as though he’s sickened by it. It was a huge stretch for them to include that.
Honestly he looked embarrassed lol like he thought the line was stupid and braced himself to have to say it out loud, right before "killing younglings" xD that's the one i watched like 10 times and couldn't stop laughing!
@@AtlasCompleXtheProd Thing is, it's genuinely impossible to tell either way. Even if he did break (which Ewan McGregor himself has denied several times), it's too small and fast for it to be remotely noticeable since his hand covered his mouth immediately after saying the line and as others have pointed out, it's also a believable physical reaction for anyone to have when they're talking about their best friend being responsible for murdering very young children. For a #3 spot on a top 10 list, it's quite a rubbish choice - especially when the others further down are obvious that the actors couldn't help laughing and some of those scenes had more of an overall impact to the film. At best, it just deserved an honourable mention (though personally I wouldn't even give it that much).
The Birdgage with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. The scene where Robin Williams almost falls in the kitchen as he's getting the peasant soup. That still cracks me up.

#6 was a huge stretch... not only could you barely see the smile, but, arguably, it was an intentional, smile of satisfaction/relief that the ordeal is over. It's like it was chosen because you were desperate to make the list long enough. And wow... #3 confirms it... you take a perfectly delivered line... with no hint of cracking... but because you considered the line ridiculous (though it wasn't) you only assumed his hand over his mouth must have been a cover up of him cracking.
DefinitelyNotOfficial The line wasn't ridiculous... there was nothing ridiculous about it... and the hand over the mouth a very normal gesture... so is in no way awkward.
***** No, it just doesn't look natural. The delivery was very weird. A different delivery would have given it a different meaning and it would probably not be ridiculous.
DefinitelyNotOfficial Your seeing what you want to see to confirm your opinion. Just like you claiming the line was ridiculous, when there was nothing ridiculous about it.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer. When Buffy tells Giles, she's sleeping with Spike. Anthony Head really bursted into laughter and Sarah Michelle Gellar couldn't hold it as well. Brilliant scene, when the ridicule of the dramatic words causes real laughter.
The Carol Burnette Show and Tim Conway's Siamese Elephant story was one of the best from that show. Everybody was just gone after Vickie Lawrence's one utterance after the story. That is another honorable mention.
40 yr old Virgin, I was laughing all the way through, but that scene!! You could tell they were expecting to cut the shot anytime, and still rolling! Loved it!
There's another scene from Friends, which is actually my favourite. Chandler confronts Janice with her cheating on him. She breathes in a bag, because she gets so nervous and at one point Chandler demands a straight answer. He squeezes the bag and it kinda scares Janice. The actress (Maggie Wheeler) laughed so hard, she kept her face in the bag, but you still see her eyes laughing.
What about the scene from harry potter and the deathly hallows part 2 where dean thomas ( the character) tried to hold back laughter from voldemort being weird
+Zann Zepar it's where if the child actor screws up to many times during a scene the jar is knda like paying th epiper each time and they can lose money during the scene
In Beverly hills cop, when Eddie Murphy was giving the "super cops" speech. The guy behind him was laughing so hard his face turned red. That one was always funny
Ya, just read my comment on that too. Plus bogamil had to pinch his nose and rosewood had to pinch his thigh from the inside of his pocket to keep from busting a gut. Plus that was the first time Eddie ever had tried coffee. They did that take right after a long 8 hours of previous scenes and everyone was beat. Which in my opinion made that scene more epic. Sorry but i am a Unitarian geek girl with aspergars.
It is too bad that live acting sequences were excluded, otherwise Carol Burnett and friends would have dominated, topped off by Vicki Lawrence absolutely crushing everyone after Tim Conway kept running on about siamese elephants. That is a classic that deserved at least a passing reference.
I love the scene from The Office, where Jim pokes a hole in Dwight’s bouncy ball thing. Jim couldn’t keep a straight face while doing it so he had to jump out of the scene real fast hahaha
+Eduardo Régis Some people think The Usual Suspects is kind of, you know, not an entirely terrible movie. Even that Spacey guy managed to not fuck it up like he always does
One scene I'll always love is from Stargate S-G1. They brought Dom DeLuise in for and he was only supposed to be seen by the main cast. But when he started doing a routine a soldier behind him was doing everything in his power to not laugh or smile. Poor guy was breathing heavily and trying to look away and basically not stand at attention the entire time. The next time Dom did a routine the put the guard in the shadow so that he could smile the whole time!
Also, the waxer that did the scene for Steve Carrell wasn't trained like she said she was. So she had no idea what she was doing which is why it hurt so much.
I think they were trying to say it was a badly written like, and McGregor covered his mouth to hide a smile from laughing at it. Personally, I thought it was all done for effect.
tommapar88 There might be something to it. If you listen to his cadence when he delivers his lines he does sound like he started to crack a bit when he gets to "killing younglings". I think it is rather subtle cracking because he's trying to go for a dramatic kind of trembling voice but for a second he's seems like he thought about how ridiculous "killing younglings" sounds. Then he appears to cover his beard to save the take which if that's what he actually did it worked because it made it to the screen. Who knows? Ewan has stated though that Star Wars was the most sterile unenjoyable experience of his acting career. I don't know that scene has always been incredibly ackward to me but so have many scenes in the prequels...
I think it's because of him saying, "I saw a telegram of him..........killing the younglings." As you could probably tell, there's a bit of a hilarious innuendo there. Buts that's just me.
My favorite is from ‘Tropic Thunder’ when Robert Downey Jr. says “What you talking books scripts shit spit that shit out” and smiles it’s so funny and awkward
Where's Chris "Ludacris" Bridges from Fast Five scene??? He literally laughed so hard he spit out water when Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson told Tyrese Gibson to "hide his big ass forehead".
Apparently she leans her head on a tree (facing the tree) and tries to stop laughing but can't. Eventually the director slaps her across the face and she finally stops.
I'm a true Ozoholic. I know a bunch of trivia and every line of dialogue. I have every obscure book about the movie. I even have a book that Toto "wrote" called I, TOTO. And I have a Wizard of Oz cookbook. I've seen Wicked at least five times but I hated the book...too weird
I think my favorite is in the Holy Grail, during the witch scene, John Cleese was experimenting with his timing each take, and in the take they used, he took so long to answer, that one of the other pythons playing a peasant actually bites his prop to avoid grinning and laughing
I cannot believe you didn't include the scene from The Birdcage when Robin Williams slips and falls. You can straight up hear him laughing. It's fantastic.
You should've included The Ringer where Johnny Knoxville almost broke character when someone said the line "When the f**k did we get ice cream?" which was not in the script.
In Pulp Fiction. Travolta laughed and turned his face when Samuel L. Jackson said: " Goddamn, Jimmie! This is some serious gourmet shit!" It made it to the final cut. Look the scene up.
Johnny Knoxville in The Ringer. When one of the actors asked "When the f**k did we get ice cream?" Knoxville couldn't keep a straight face. My favorite
8:14 lol. There goes Lucas not being able to convey emotion without the character saying something to convey what they are feeling. In film-making, the rule is show don't tell. Something that Lucas forgot about.
You forgot the scene from Jaws where they were talking about The US Indianapolis and Brody starts singing, "Show me the way to go home". Completely improved, but Hooper and Quinn started cracking up and to quell the laughter, they started singing along.
I like the Friends episode when Ross buys a sofa and the delivery charge is almost as much as the cost of the purchase. He gets Rachel to help him carry home When they get there and are try to get it up the stairs with Chandler's help. They have the sofa jammed in a way it's going no further and Ross starts yelling pivot that sounds something like PIVAAAT. They all lose it.
They missed "Blazing Saddles". When the Waco Kid (Gene Wilder) is comforting Sheriff Bart (Cleavon Little) after the sheriff has to take himself hostage. Poor Cleavon's eyes are teared up, he's trying so hard not to laugh. When the Waco kid finishes with "you know, morons" Cleavon snorts and collapses in laughter.
Guys at WatchMojo... one friendly suggestion; Please stop showing the best moments even before the countdown begins, that's a very American TV way of storytelling, not entirely enjoyed by all everywhere (which is what the internet caters to). In any case, its just a suggestion.
You missed The Return of the Pink Panther with Peter Sellers and Catherine Schell. The scene in the night club where Sellers delivers the line "Here's looking at you kid" in his Clousseau voice had to be shot many times due to Schell laughing hysterically every time. Even the take left used in the film has her choking on her drink due to genuine and uncontrollable laughter.
Should've included the drive-in theater scene from The Outsiders where Dally falls off the chair and everyone laughs. Wasn't supposed to happen but they kept it in.
haha! i knew that looked too real... also in another video it shows him fall in slow motion and the other actors looked surprised and turned their head and they seemed to laugh genuinely lol so funny
Great collection. I'm reminded of the many times the performers in the Carol Burnett show couldn't keep a straight face. But the moment first evoked was that scene from the Mary Tyler Moore show, that funeral for the clown whose name has escaped me. Dunno if she was acting her way through or genuinely couldn't keep from laughing, but oh man I laughed all the way through her laughter.
Honestly the scene from the 40 Year Old Virgin should have been Number 1. That scene is legendary in the fact that it was entirely real and unscripted. Yeah, you heard me. Steve agreed to actually have his chest waxed. When they hired the lady to do the waxing, she had actually lied to them about her experience and did it wrong. The guy that walked out of the room, couldn't actually stomach it. It was comedic gold.
The best one is in the spinal tap deleted scenes. David st hubbins is supposed to sing the lyric "a grateful nation waves its goodbyes", but instead sings "a grapefruit nation waves its goodbyes" and you can tell in his voice that hes really fighting to suppress laughter
From Carol Brunett show, Tim Conway's description of Siamese elephants on a bit they called "Mama's family" is the funniest scene ever recorded (youtube it)!! Good list.
ROBIN WILLIAMS MADE THE CAMERA MAN SHAKE THE CAMERA FROM LAUGHTER I THINK HE DESERVED A HIGHER SPOT ON THE LIST
Definitely.
agree
+Potter Perfect "Actors like Robbie Williams" Umm.. he was one of a kind lady.
***** that's bullshit

Knowing that scene from Good Will Hunting was improvised makes me love Robin Williams so much more
Yeah, enjoyed his sense of humor incredibly.
R.I.P Robin Williams
Watch "Mrs.Doubtfire" if you haven't it's what made me love his acting so much!
I miss him :(
RIP RW ❤️
That smile in Robin Williams' eyes... that's pure humanity shining onto us. How dearly he is missed :(
I love that scene from Good Will Hunting. Such genuine laughter. You can't watch that scene without at least smiling, even if you think the joke's not that funny.

Yeah i keep a straight face too (regarding the reply above) It isn't all that funny to me at all yet everyone makes a great deal about it
***** maybe we just don't have the right sense of humor for the scene.
I can't believe you guys forgot the classic scene from "Dumb and Dumber." Jim Carrey improvised the "wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?" line, and the editors had to cut away from Jeff Daniels because he busted up into laughter. You can see him start to laugh.
+ROCKaholic oh i cant believe they forgot that to that was hilarious!
Ikr??? And thank God he improvised that! It is the most memorable moment of the movie! 😂😂
+ROCKaholic That while scene in the car was improvised. By both Jim Carry and Jeff Daniels
+ROCKaholic He also improvised "WE LANDED ON THE MOON!"
Jim Carrey in general improvised most of his funniest stuff in his movies.
Man, I fucking miss Robin Williams
I cried like a friggin' baby when Robin passed on, even if somebody was to talk about how much he suffered I would get anxiety, shake, and start bawling rather if I'm in public or not!!
I don't
Ukkeli523 - You have absolutely NO TASTES in wonderful actors AKA Geniuses
I miss him too though ... one of a kind actor\comedian :)
Such talent....the man could play a variety of characters....make you laugh, make you cry, make you cry from laughing so hard.
That scene from, The Usual Suspects, is hands down the greatest scene on this list. Good choice for the top spot.
That robin williams scene was so beautiful.
Not gonna lie, I know it's supposed to be silly but considering everything that scene is a roller coaster of emotions for me...
@@williamfugimoto8526 I agree with you wholeheartedly and to this day I still miss Mr. Williams.
I'm surprised that WatchMojo never mentioned that the camera was shaking because the cameraman was laughing
Man, for me is one of the greatest comedy/drama actor of all time, Robin make laugh a whole generation, I'm 37 years old by the way and I miss him dearly.
@@Killua_Morales Wow I didn't know the cameraman was laughing in the background when that "She used to fart in her sleep" scene was shot.
I had no idea that the lineup in the usual suspects was supposed to be serious! It works best that they are laughing. We know they are innocent that way.
yea for real
yup deserve the top 1 :)
Ummm...except that one of them _wasn't_ innocent...
Classic!!
Saw another vid where they said nobody could stop laughing because one of the dudes kept farting every take. Real laughter.
I'm always a sucker for video when actors break character lol
Me too! That's one of the reasons I got into SNL. And for That 70's Show I can definitely recount all the times they've broken character.
Christal J SNL has some great ones too!
Christal J Can you name a few from That 70s Show? I'd love to check them out :)
The very first episode when Hyde is talking about the car that runs on water, the episode when Eric killed Donna's cat Kurtwood Smith breaks character when they're talking at the table, Eric's Hot Cousin episodes when Donna and Jackie are hitting each other when they got bad tans and I can recall two more but I can't remeber the episodes xoMsImperfect

I expect The Usual Suspects will be #1 xD
You did the vocals for Work It Tavi omfg
One Ticket Ride Yeah :)
+Pink Mist xjv
What about the scene from harry potter and the deathly hallows part 2 where dean thomas ( the character) tried to hold back laughter from voldemort being weird
+PokemonFan 05 holy shit i thought i was imagining that lol
guess i am not that crazy
The child actors actually kept a "corpsing jar" to keep from breaking up on film.
+Brian Shaddock What is that? Sounds interesting, and funny!
+Zann Zepar it's where if the child actor screws up to many times during a scene the jar is knda like paying th epiper each time and they can lose money during the scene
+kent trenholm Gotcha - thank you. 👍🏼
In Beverly hills cop, when Eddie Murphy was giving the "super cops" speech. The guy behind him was laughing so hard his face turned red. That one was always funny
Ya, just read my comment on that too. Plus bogamil had to pinch his nose and rosewood had to pinch his thigh from the inside of his pocket to keep from busting a gut. Plus that was the first time Eddie ever had tried coffee. They did that take right after a long 8 hours of previous scenes and everyone was beat. Which in my opinion made that scene more epic. Sorry but i am a Unitarian geek girl with aspergars.
It is too bad that live acting sequences were excluded, otherwise Carol Burnett and friends would have dominated, topped off by Vicki Lawrence absolutely crushing everyone after Tim Conway kept running on about siamese elephants. That is a classic that deserved at least a passing reference.
The siamese elephants holy shit
salvador dali so true
So true!
I loved it on the carol burnet show when harvey korman lost it, with tim conway just kept going while korman just gave up
I love the scene from The Office, where Jim pokes a hole in Dwight’s bouncy ball thing. Jim couldn’t keep a straight face while doing it so he had to jump out of the scene real fast hahaha
This FRIENDS's scene is a classic... should be at number one.
+Eduardo Régis Some people think The Usual Suspects is kind of, you know, not an entirely terrible movie.
Even that Spacey guy managed to not fuck it up like he always does
What's your point? Did I said anything about the movie at all?
The friends one always gets me
One scene I'll always love is from Stargate S-G1. They brought Dom DeLuise in for and he was only supposed to be seen by the main cast. But when he started doing a routine a soldier behind him was doing everything in his power to not laugh or smile. Poor guy was breathing heavily and trying to look away and basically not stand at attention the entire time. The next time Dom did a routine the put the guard in the shadow so that he could smile the whole time!
#1 Benicio Del Toro:
HandmedafugginKeysYouCockSucka WUTDAFUUUU
Its hilarious
Surprised that 'better hide that Big Ass forehead' didn't make it
TheBasileman that was the best line ever
TheBasileman
That's in another video
I love when the improv is organic and it just flows
Obi-Wan was probably like "HA nice" but then realized Padme was there so he to cover it up
"Everyone loves a good comeback-story. Rocky, Cinderella"
"Kim Kardashian. In the video, she gets come on her back"
Will Ferrell is hilarious . “Grab the children, save the children” 😂😂😂
The word "younglings" would crack me up too.
I loved the Usual Suspects line up. Watching Kevin try to keep a straight face is funny as hell
Also, the waxer that did the scene for Steve Carrell wasn't trained like she said she was. So she had no idea what she was doing which is why it hurt so much.
I see Kramer scenes in Seinfeld were not eligible, since virtually anyone could keep a straight face around that character.
I didn't get the killing younglings one :/
I think they were trying to say it was a badly written like, and McGregor covered his mouth to hide a smile from laughing at it. Personally, I thought it was all done for effect.
***** XD
tommapar88 There might be something to it. If you listen to his cadence when he delivers his lines he does sound like he started to crack a bit when he gets to "killing younglings". I think it is rather subtle cracking because he's trying to go for a dramatic kind of trembling voice but for a second he's seems like he thought about how ridiculous "killing younglings" sounds. Then he appears to cover his beard to save the take which if that's what he actually did it worked because it made it to the screen. Who knows? Ewan has stated though that Star Wars was the most sterile unenjoyable experience of his acting career. I don't know that scene has always been incredibly ackward to me but so have many scenes in the prequels...
+Acoustribute So weird because Ewan made the prequels actually good. Mustve got tired of carrying the movie on his back
I think it's because of him saying, "I saw a telegram of him..........killing the younglings." As you could probably tell, there's a bit of a hilarious innuendo there. Buts that's just me.
My favorite is from ‘Tropic Thunder’ when Robert Downey Jr. says “What you talking books scripts shit spit that shit out” and smiles it’s so funny and awkward
Where's Chris "Ludacris" Bridges from Fast Five scene??? He literally laughed so hard he spit out water when Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson told Tyrese Gibson to "hide his big ass forehead".
Chris Farley, "I live in a van....down by the river!!"
That moment where you know more than watchmojo. They left out so much about every back story of all these scenes
The scene in The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy first meets the Cowardly Lion and is trying not to laugh is one of my favorites.
Apparently she leans her head on a tree (facing the tree) and tries to stop laughing but can't. Eventually the director slaps her across the face and she finally stops.
@@jujubee2141 Yup. I'm familiar with that as lifelong fan of The Wizard of Oz.
I'm an Ozoholic! I know a lot of trivia about it and almost every word of the dialogue 😊
I'm a true Ozoholic. I know a bunch of trivia and every line of dialogue. I have every obscure book about the movie. I even have a book that Toto "wrote" called I, TOTO. And I have a Wizard of Oz cookbook. I've seen Wicked at least five times but I hated the book...too weird
@@jujubee2141 Cool. I can't wait for the movie version of Wicked in a couple years.
How about the dinner scene in ET when the Elliot calls his brother "penis breath" and Mary just breaks character for a split second 😂
I think my favorite is in the Holy Grail, during the witch scene, John Cleese was experimenting with his timing each take, and in the take they used, he took so long to answer, that one of the other pythons playing a peasant actually bites his prop to avoid grinning and laughing
"Did you ever find bugs bunny attractive when he'd put on a dress and play a girl bunny?"
I find big chungus attractive
No
I'm not convinced Ewan was going to laugh
I cannot believe you didn't include the scene from The Birdcage when Robin Williams slips and falls. You can straight up hear him laughing. It's fantastic.
how the hell did that star wars scene make it in here and one of the honorable mentions didnt?
You should've included The Ringer where Johnny Knoxville almost broke character when someone said the line "When the f**k did we get ice cream?" which was not in the script.
In Pulp Fiction. Travolta laughed and turned his face when Samuel L. Jackson said: " Goddamn, Jimmie! This is some serious gourmet shit!" It made it to the final cut. Look the scene up.
Johnny Knoxville in The Ringer. When one of the actors asked "When the f**k did we get ice cream?" Knoxville couldn't keep a straight face. My favorite
8:14 lol. There goes Lucas not being able to convey emotion without the character saying something to convey what they are feeling. In film-making, the rule is show don't tell. Something that Lucas forgot about.
There are so many times she's holding back laughter when trying to seem angry and serious.
I lost it at the bagpipes omg !!
Any scene with Tim Conway and Harvey Corman. Or just about any scene from The Carol Burnet show period.
Yeah, watching those 2 together is something I never tire of!!
You forgot the scene from Jaws where they were talking about The US Indianapolis and Brody starts singing, "Show me the way to go home". Completely improved, but Hooper and Quinn started cracking up and to quell the laughter, they started singing along.
even with a 30 sec friend's scene i crack up. best series ever made.
I like the Friends episode when Ross buys a sofa and the delivery charge is almost as much as the cost of the purchase. He gets Rachel to help him carry home When they get there and are try to get it up the stairs with Chandler's help. They have the sofa jammed in a way it's going no further and Ross starts yelling pivot that sounds something like PIVAAAT. They all lose it.
It's Schwimmer's too!
PIVOT! Barely got through it!
I love these because it reminds people that actors are merely human with a sense of humor
Old Tim Conway skits from The Carol Burnett Show. Particularly when Vicki Lawrence turned the tables on him during the elephant skit.
7:59 - In the case of the prequels, there was more bad lines than good.
Yeah but the Originals had some bad stuff to. Don't get me wrong the originals are the better but C3P0 and R2D2 lines were just dumb and boring.
***** I never said that the originals were perfect.
Yeah, there are plenty of cheesy lines in the OT, but the good far outweighs the bad.
They missed "Blazing Saddles". When the Waco Kid (Gene Wilder) is comforting Sheriff Bart (Cleavon Little) after the sheriff has to take himself hostage. Poor Cleavon's eyes are teared up, he's trying so hard not to laugh. When the Waco kid finishes with "you know, morons" Cleavon snorts and collapses in laughter.
Guys at WatchMojo... one friendly suggestion; Please stop showing the best moments even before the countdown begins, that's a very American TV way of storytelling, not entirely enjoyed by all everywhere (which is what the internet caters to). In any case, its just a suggestion.
Yeah it's very annoying
agree
We don't need the narration either.
....
They aren’t Americans tho, nice try!
A lot of mine were from Liar Liar. Holy cow I was dying of laughter from Jim Carrey shenanigans.
You missed The Return of the Pink Panther with Peter Sellers and Catherine Schell. The scene in the night club where Sellers delivers the line "Here's looking at you kid" in his Clousseau voice had to be shot many times due to Schell laughing hysterically every time. Even the take left used in the film has her choking on her drink due to genuine and uncontrollable laughter.
Benicio del Toro was so fucking gorgeous. That's not why Usual Suspects is one of my favorite movies, but he sure was nice to look at.
Doesn't he remind you of a Latino version of: Brad Pitt?
Peninah-Isobella Hmmm...interesting. I never noticed, but now I'm gonna have to check that out...
I loved him in Traffic.
What do you mean "was"?
@@chapablo No kidding. I had to look him up to make sure he was still alive.
Should've included the drive-in theater scene from The Outsiders where Dally falls off the chair and everyone laughs. Wasn't supposed to happen but they kept it in.
haha! i knew that looked too real... also in another video it shows him fall in slow motion and the other actors looked surprised and turned their head and they seemed to laugh genuinely lol so funny
+kimmyfreak200 yeah you can tell by Ponyboy's laugh that it's genuine haha love it though!
Great collection. I'm reminded of the many times the performers in the Carol Burnett show couldn't keep a straight face. But the moment first evoked was that scene from the Mary Tyler Moore show, that funeral for the clown whose name has escaped me. Dunno if she was acting her way through or genuinely couldn't keep from laughing, but oh man I laughed all the way through her laughter.
Honestly the scene from the 40 Year Old Virgin should have been Number 1. That scene is legendary in the fact that it was entirely real and unscripted. Yeah, you heard me. Steve agreed to actually have his chest waxed. When they hired the lady to do the waxing, she had actually lied to them about her experience and did it wrong. The guy that walked out of the room, couldn't actually stomach it. It was comedic gold.
Why do we need to hear you? They said it was unscripted in the video! And they said he'd agreed to have his chest waxed.
"Smell the glass" hahahahah. XD
The best one is in the spinal tap deleted scenes. David st hubbins is supposed to sing the lyric "a grateful nation waves its goodbyes", but instead sings "a grapefruit nation waves its goodbyes" and you can tell in his voice that hes really fighting to suppress laughter
From Carol Brunett show, Tim Conway's description of Siamese elephants on a bit they called "Mama's family" is the funniest scene ever recorded (youtube it)!!
Good list.
But that was live. Otherwise I’d say that was HANDS DOWN the best example.

"THEY'RE COMING IN THROUGH THE BACK DOOR! GRAB THE CHILDREN!"
Oh my god, my fucking stomach hurts I cannot stop laughing
Top 10 lines from Star Wars episodes 1, 2 and 3 that you can't believe DIDN'T make people crack up.
