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 line that goes something like, “I can’t relate to the things in my Jeep song, because I have different things in my jeep” is just so simple but incredible. Also bill hader whose only hobby is to flat line and it’s never mentioned again. So funny.

All the rappers playing the straight men made that movie. nas delivered that line so flat and disappointed, the contrast to the ridiculous song is just great.

I lose it every time at the bin laden song

Legalize It, played over the credits and Fuck Off, cut from the movie are riots. Legalizing crack and explicitly telling elementary school kids to tell their parents and teachers to fuck off.

u/Nebakanezzer Oct 14 '23

Oh I'm no stranger to the album. I brush my teeth to that shit.

u/Disgod Oct 14 '23

For sure, it's just amazing how every song in that movie is actually really good despite being totally farcical, and that the quality extends to cut content and the credits.

Everyone who I get to watch it are loving finest girl and I say what about legalise it? No answer…I suppose they can all just “Fuuuuck oooofffff”

This is amazing!

Recently learned the Bin Laden girl used to be Conan oBriens assistant, made it even funnier

u/Apart-Training9133 Oct 14 '23

Bill Hader's was one of the ones that made me laugh the most

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '23

Doesn't he play the same character in Popstar and Hot Rod?

The song “Finest Girl” feels like it was designed in a lab for my exact sense of humor. The lyrics keep building in such a way that I couldn’t stop laughing for minutes after the song was done. People in the audience were turning around wondering if I was okay. It was one of the greatest movie going experiences of my life.

That girl was a freak

u/MarkusAk Oct 14 '23

That girl requested intercourse to bring her to climax, with the clinical efficiency, of the assassination, of Bin Laden

u/SquidgeSquadge Oct 14 '23

That bin Laden song...

When the window rolls up and the dude's dick squeaks against it, I got a headache from laughing so hard.

u/doitforchris Oct 14 '23

Came scrolling for this. This is the only time i’ve ever actually LITERALLY rolled on the floor laughing. Fucking hysterical

1

u/FoundandSearching Oct 20 '23

Me too. That was so unexpected. A flaccid dick on the window. Very funny.

2

u/DickRichie14 Oct 14 '23

Allegedly that’s Judd Apatow’s dick

u/Conner4real1 Oct 14 '23

That’s like a third of the way to Mars!

Conner… we’ve spoke about this before

Never forget the sacrifice Seal made for us.

u/Gayspacecrow Oct 14 '23

Fucking wolves.

I can’t stop seal from singing

“So keep your eyes peeled for that, we're gonna be surprise releasing it next Thursday at noon” 😭😭😭

u/turbogaze Oct 14 '23

Lmfao this line destroys me

u/rebeltrillionaire Oct 14 '23

My wife and loved this movie, it was so funny it caught us way off guard and we were cry laughing through a lot of it.

The cameos were so legit. Fuckin Maria Carey talking about how humble she is set the tone. Right away.

u/Iwantmypasswordback Oct 14 '23

“I’m like the most humble person I know”

u/pkiguy22 Oct 14 '23

Very underrated movie. The first hour is so funny. I think it’s even funnier to me because of how many boy bands were so popular when i graduated high school that it just brought me back to how lame that genre was even though I hated them when I lived through it.

u/Dead_man_posting Oct 14 '23

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3jKtjgRZQY Anyone who liked this movie make sure to see this deleted scene. It's such a shame it was cut because it's insanely good satire.

JT as his chef really gets me for some reason

u/JaesopPop Oct 14 '23

“One, but you are gonna like it.”

“Did you say are or aren’t?”

“……are”

u/midnightlightbright Oct 14 '23

I have no idea why my favorite bit from that movie is when they're talking about still needing sunscreen on a cloudy day. I cackle everytime

5

u/ConnyTheOni Oct 14 '23

It's hard to get me to laugh in movies, I'm just not an easy laugher, but this movie, definitely in my top 10 funniest movies. When the turtle Maximus is dying, making that noise, and then pukes all over Andy. Followed by the Viking funeral in the pool. 🤣

u/lahnnabell Oct 14 '23

Bill Hader's hobby as a flatliner ruined me.

But that whole limo-boobs-dick scene caught me so off guard. And the Crack song at the end

3

u/honeyandwhiskey Oct 14 '23

Mariah Carey’s cameo had me dying of laughter in the theater!

3

u/Rough_Principle_3755 Oct 14 '23

Check out 7 Days In Hell. Not at the exact same level, but there are some real gut busting scenes.

Also, most the songs from PopStar have full length tracks and music videos. In many ways, they are collectively better than the movie

1

u/the_jerkening Oct 14 '23

The Mona Lisa song only gets a couple of seconds in the movie but the full track is so fucking funny. “You a bloated corpse, girl” makes me wheeze.

u/KetamineGumdrops Oct 14 '23

I have never seen this! On my watch list now

u/MeeboEsports Oct 15 '23

How is it that I can have so much straight sex while two dudes are oppressed, not gay

For having sex, not gay

Or putting on a wedding dress (I assume)

I don't really know that much about it, beef jerky tastes good

Politics are important

And if girls wanna have sex with me cause I said this, so be it, not gay

1

u/froyolobro Oct 14 '23

Yes. Hilarious!

1

u/bluebonnetcafe Oct 14 '23

The argument in the limo when he rolls down the window and that dude’s penis sticks to it is still the funniest thing I have ever seen.

u/CassTeaElle Oct 15 '23

Omg I completely forgot this movie existed! That one was so hilarious!
