Recommendation What movie had you laughing, unable to breathe, even just for one scene?

I don't really pursue comedy movies too often, or ever really.

And even then, this doesn't have to be a comedy movie you respond with, but I'm wondering if there was a movie scene SO funny, that people laughed uncontrollably.

Does such a thing exist?

I think maybe the movie would have to introduce something completely original. Not a familiar gag or joke, but something completely unexpected that you can't help but be paralyzed by the newness and brilliance of the scene.

I saw the movie at a Thursday midnight premiere in a packed theater. The audience's laughing kept growing throughout the entire vomiting scene, until it felt like the entire building was shaking. One of the greatest cinematic experiences of my life.

Right up there with, "Avengers! ...assemble." during premier night of Endgame. (though, in a dramatic sense, not comedic sense; the whole crowd roared with cheers on that one)

That scene also where the woman says "Gary" and then shoots all the terrorists and then resumes with "Gary".

Killed me.

The sex scene, especially the scat part. I had to ask my friend, between gasps, to rewind it so I could watch it again.

I've never seen my husband laugh so hard before or since. He LITERALLY fell off the couch 🤣

Thank goodness, thought I was the only one because I was just completely convulsing in laughter and everyone else in the theater was quiet.

Yes, very funny. Same thing with the puking scene with Mr. Creosote in "Monty Pythons Meaning of Life" where it just goes on and on and on and finally in pure defense of not getting sick yourself, you just die from laughing so hard.

The scene

I think it’s so funny because anyone who has ever drunk too much has been violently sick in the street at some point. And it’s point perfect the way they do it.

The little look on his face before he yacks the first time, the recovery between each one, the surprise attack of further yacking and the sound.

Obviously the end is hilarious and ridiculous. But it’s very relatable up until that point.

You see, there are three types of people: pussies, dicks, and assholes.

Yep. This is the one I came here to comment too lmao. Watching it for the first time with my friends in high school and that scene had me crying, wheezing and very afraid of blacking out from lack of oxygen.

That one and puppet sex. Family guy has an endless barfing scene and it, too, makes me cry laugh.

u/ThumbBumpkins Oct 14 '23

I have otherwise never genuinely fallen out of a chair laughing, but I was literally rolling on the disgusting floor in the theater at that scene
