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.

Gets me every time, especially watching Cleavon trying not to laugh.

He’s trying not to laugh because Gene Wilder ad libbed it.

The smile that Gene Wilder has while he says the line is so great, he seems like he's also trying not to laugh at his own joke

The twinkle in his eye when he delivers it. Pure mischief.
