Strange, random, out of place things in film that make you laugh.

[bgmnts]

Inspired by this weird bit in Silence of the Lambs:

https://youtu.be/YlRLfbONYgM?t=113

"OR PUPA"

It just takes me out of the scene and makes me piss myself everytime. There is also that odd "Ohhh gawwd" that Lambert cries out when the chestburster pops out to say hello in Alien.

Anyone have any favourite weird little moments that make you laugh in film?

[Ballad of Ballard Berkley]

When that big burly fisherman in Jaws says, in the campest possible fashion, "A whaaaaaaaaaat?!"

Is that bit supposed to be funny or not? Is the guy implying that Hooper, with his fancy scientific claims, is some sort of homosexual? It just comes out of nowhere and gets me every time. There are lots of deliberately funny bits in Jaws, of course, but that bit has always perplexed me slightly.

[Ballad of Ballard Berkley]

I've just watched that scene again, and all Hooper says is that they've caught a tiger shark. So it's not as if the guy is supposed to be mocking a fancypants metropolitan intellectual spouting scientific jargon, he just sounds confused by the very idea of a tiger shark.

Ten seconds later, he's being all macho and threatening to stuff Hooper's head into the dead shark's mouth. It's nuts, I love it.

There's a bit in Deathwish IV (The Crackdown!) where Chuck Bronson is working undercover as a bartender for some druglord or other. The evil drug king shoots one of his men and orders one of his other flunkies and CB to carry the body out to a car outside. You see the two men carrying the body, but shot from behind. As both CB and the dead guy were wearing white shirts, the dead guy's hanging arms look like they are attached to Bronson's, giving the impression of him having long dangling orangutan arms as he waddles awkwardly out of the door. I was pretty baked when I watched it with my pals, so it caused uproarious fits of laughter to the point we had to stop the film and rewind it about 15 minutes because, being the stoned idiots that we were, we missed so much due to extended bouts of giggling.

It might actually be the most I've ever laughed at a film, comedy or otherwise (but that's drugs for you). I've got the DVD now (someone left DWs 1-5 on DVD in the free pile at my local library - what a score!) but I haven't watched that scene again, because I'm pretty sure the effect would be lessened in crystal-clear digital on a LED as opposed to the fuzziness of a well-worn rented VHS on a 14" portable.

EDIT: I found it on YouTube - still makes me laugh. https://youtu.be/kI9ObpC1XoY?t=45

[bgmnts]

That is brilliant!

[H-O-W-L]

Fucking cracking that.

[Shit Good Nose]

Know what - I've seen The Crackdown more times than is necessary or healthy (more times than 3, in actual fact), and I've NEVER noticed that.  Brilliant.  Up there with Rambo turning into a small child/midget at the end of First Blood 2.

Gales of laughter here.

Superb.

Brilliant. The music really adds to it.

[Shaky]

Fuck me, that did not disappoint. Brilliant.

Fantastic stuff there. Reminds me of Rambo transitioning into a small child for the freeze-frame:

There's a really good bit in the first Planet of The Apes film (first one I think), where a loads of apes are attacking Nova.  It looks quite scary at first, but then she starts giggling like she's being tickled.  It's lovely.

I also like the bit when the blokes go skinny dipping and there's a scene where it looks like they're all giving each other blowjobs.

[idunnosomename]

does the bit when the guy falls off the stern of the Titanic and hits his head on the propeller on the way down count? love that bit. makes up for the rest of that shitty film, it does

Blue Velvet: Kyle MacLachlan looking at Laura Dern and saying her character's name "Sandy" in what seemed like a John Travolta impersonation from Grease just before the finale song.

Lovely stuff 10/10 Would watch again.

Another upvote for DW4 above. Fuck me that's a perfect storm of acting, stage direction, editing and composer.

This scene from Live and Let Die takes me out twice within 30 seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnFa-ORMbhk (Dr. K at 0:13 finger pointing "Look James there's a shark" is worse than the end to be honest).

Although that bit amuses me, I do think it works in the context of the film.

Look at the state of the inflatable puppet they used when it was just hanging around the set.



Ian Fleming was nodding approvingly from racist heaven.
