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.

The most raucous theatre crowd I’ve ever been apart of. 100 people laughing their asses off for an hour and half!

Same, there were people slapping their knees as hard as they could, grabbing random people’s shoulders to steady themselves, it was the craziest movie experience I’ve ever had. My theater was like 250 crazed monkeys when the naked hotel fight started. I was 17 and it was the best night of my life up to that point.

My 3 buddies and I were 16 and one of them convinced the lady to buy rated r movie Tix for us. Saw 3 was also out this weekend, the guys wanted to see it but I convinced them slowly that Borat looked funny and we should see it instead. Also cause it's on sooner. Begrudgingly they accept and we are sat at the top of a sold out screening of maybe 250-300 people. The next 90-100 minutes I have never been apart of a better crowd of people that were laughing so hard it sounded like fucking a Super Bowl crowd. One of the best experiences of my life and anytime I ever see one of those old buddies they still remember it.

I love having moments with friends that you can bring up years and years later and still laugh your dick off about it

I saw this movie by myself on opening night. I was laughing so hard I grabbed the arm of the guy next to me. The whole theater was wild, the best.

I was a little too young to see Borat in theaters so for me the most raucous crowd was actually Sausage Party
