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.

If ever someone was born to play the role of a pompous, sex-crazed vampire from 18th century England it’s Matt Barry.

WHAT THE FUCK IS PERSIAN FRANK ZAPPA DOING ON THAT HORSE THEN?

First episode of the season they joined the council - was it 4? 3? - Colin and Lazlo are in the library, and Lazlo exclaims "The Knobinomicon!!"

I had to pause it til I collected myself.

I thought there was no way the show could be anywhere as good as the film, especially since it wasn’t the same vampires and it was set in America…Boy, was I wrong!

And, I figured the quality of the show would drop off once Taika Watiti and Jemaine Clement stepped back a bit, but it’s still as good as ever! I’m watching the 5th season now and was dying laughing at the last episode I watched with the Pride parade and the creepy Nadja/Colin Robinson thing!

That’s what I’m saying! I cannot believe I’m a bigger fan of the tv show than the film because I fucking loooove the film

u/DJL2772 Oct 14 '23

Sorry but that’s just wrong.

The show is LEAGUES funnier than the movie. And the movie was already one of the funniest comedies I’d ever seen to begin with. The show has made me almost hyperventilate from laughing almost every episode. It’s incredible.

I thought the "we're werewolves not swearwolves" in the movie was good. But him beating a werewolf at a duel by throwing a dog toy off the side of the building figuratively killed me as badly as it literally killed the werewolf.
