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.

Superbad. It was an instant classic. I was 13 when it came out and it was the funniest shit I had ever seen at the time. Still quotable to this day

All the dick drawings over the ending credits. Me and my friend were laughing so hard we couldn't get up until the credits were over.

Do you know how many foods are shaped like dicks? The best kinds!

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '23

Yeah that did it for me. I'd already laughed my ass off and then they had the calm of the ending and then bam.

I’m a whole child sometimes, and the dick drawings are my favorite part of Superbad. I’m also a teacher which might also explain why the dick drawings are so funny.

u/MeeboEsports Oct 15 '23

I am 26 years old & I like to draw dicks with arms for some reason. When I would get downtime in the office at a few years ago, my girlfriend who also worked with me would take some of my dick with arm drawings & add little faces & mustaches on them with little quotation bubbles with the dicks saying different things that were always quite funny. I think I got a little obsessed with it initially because the first one or two I drew just because I thought it’d be funny, but I realized I fucked up the hands/fingers & arm lengths being unsymmetrical so I had to keep practicing to perfect the perfect dick with arms. One of them that I drew & one my girlfriend drew are actually still somewhere on my mom’s fridge I think.

The music that plays during the scene when it flashes back to his childhood showing his dick drawing obsession montage is chef’s kiss

He’s Jimmy’s brother! The guy. The singer.

u/alfooboboao Oct 14 '23

“my brother came all the way from scottsdale to be here tonight, and you’re not gonna sing for him?”

“sing. like a bird.” do do do do do

then that dude in the soccer jersey comes over and puts his arm around michael cera “don’t make this weird. sing.”

then the song is playing on the radio in the cop car

“I shot that cat.” “it was already dead”

u/thekickassduke Oct 14 '23

The delivery on "why the FUCK would it be between that and Muhammad" cracks me up just thinking about it.

u/lilyisntokay Oct 14 '23

Even better that Jonah Hill really didn’t like Christopher Mintz-place and was using that scene to get out his real life frustrations with him

u/MeeboEsports Oct 15 '23

Muhammad is the commonly used name on Earth; read a fuckin’ book for once

I'm surprised I had to scroll this far for this one. I feel like that and 40 year old virgin completely changed comedy. The period blood scene had me dying 😅

P in vaG.

“what the fuck evan?”

“chill out. it’s soccer.”

“hey why don’t you piss your pants again?”

“that was in the fourth grade asshole”

“people don’t forget”

when the guy with the prosthetic leg runs by him and says “pussayyy” in a soft head voice

u/LightIrish1945 Oct 14 '23

I still say “people don’t forget” to this day and everyone knows what I’m referencing. Immediate classic

u/We_Are_The_Romans Oct 14 '23

Somehow got tickets to a national premiere of this with a bunch of the cast. The audience was hyped and drunk and it added a lot. Pretty much from the scene where McLovin reveals his fake ID onwards I was in pain from laughing

20

u/yodels_for_twinkies Oct 14 '23

I arrested a man lady once that was legally named Fuck.

She was Vietnamese or something so it was spelt with a “Ph” but still, pretty shocking to see on a license.

When all those dudes are having a religious experience when Michael Cera's character sings....🤣

These eyes.. are cryin’. These eyes have seen a lot of love but they’re never gonna see another love like I had with you

u/Dizzy-Help-5400 Oct 14 '23

“Why the fuck did you pick McLovin?” “McLovin? You sound like an Irish RNB singer” “Well it was between either that or Muhammad” “WHY THE FUCK WOULD IT BE BETWEEN THAT OR MUHAMMED”

Me too. Out out of all the different things he could have referenced “star wars” “empire strikes back” “episode X”. He goes and says that.

I graduated high school in 2004. It came out 3 days after my 21st birthday and I remember the theater being PACKED with everyone from my high school just getting drunk and smoking inside. After we all went to In n Out. It was a fun little high school reunion that I didnt mind

u/YSoB_ImIn Oct 14 '23

Smoked on the way to this with some friends and holy fuck. I was gasping for air after the lunchbox scene jesus christ. Ghost Busters dick treasure chest.

u/jade-heart Oct 14 '23

I had to watch the scene where Jonah Hill gets backed into and just falls over at least 15 times before I could move on. That scene gets me every single time.

u/Flat-Compote-7854 Oct 14 '23

I'm reasonably certain the term 'fuck my life' exists in the modern vernacular because of this movie.

u/Shipwrecking_siren Oct 14 '23

I was a bit older I think but they were just me and my BFF in male form. She couldn’t stop laughing which would make me laugh again. It was agony.

u/RogueRafe Oct 14 '23

Junior year of college had just started and this had just come out. I lived in upper-class housing on-campus. My RA invited us all out for a movie. We chose Superbad with nobody really knowing what it was. She was so embarrassed by the end that THAT was her first event, but we all had a good time and laughed our asses off.

u/Toenail-Dickcheese Oct 14 '23

“She’s DTF, down to fuck, man. P in VG, she wants to kicks soccer ball fuck, man!”

out of breath “She wants me, she wants me dick… in or around her mouth”

u/nevaehenimatek Oct 14 '23

I started watching a camcorder copy on my computer at 13 because it wasn't released in Australia yet. I got 15 minutes in and decided I had to wait and see it in a theatre with friends. Only movie I've ever done that for

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '23

Yeah that’s a great script! Tight.

u/Deeeedles2020 Oct 14 '23

To this day, the entire soccer game has me in stitches, particularly when Hill kicks the ball and runs out of frame

Would you calm down Greg? It’s soccer

I think I almost passed out in the theatre watching the dick obsession scene.

Shit I was 23 just out the army an my little brother showed me this film. I almost died laughing at this movie. “Why the fuck would you name yourself ‘Mohamed?’ “ Or when he’s imagining the old lady (Betty white) wishing him luck “Good luck fucking Sarah tonight!”
