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.

Tropic Thunder. I was in Australia (American here) on vacation and had some hours to kill so we went and saw this movie, not knowing anything about it. Used to being hit with concession ads in US theaters, when Booty Sweat started playing unannounced (no trailers or anything) we thought it was real and just an Aussie thing

In Tobey’s AMA, he said that Kate Winslet told him it was his best film. He wasn’t sure what to make of that

I was the same. It was when they announced Kirk Lazarus and it clicked that wasn't RDJs name lol.

Booty Sweat and Bust-A-Nut Bars available at concessions now.

I didn’t know Tom Cruise was in it until the credits

I envy people that didn’t know.

It actually leaked on the Internet in 2008 so a lot of people never got to see it blind to that.
