Oh c'mon, man. Not the Pythons. How can you not laugh at those French taunts?
Mine might be that whole 'chalice in the palace/poison in the pestle' bit, or whatever it is, from Danny Kaye's The Inspector General. Supposedly hilarious, it's never raised even a smile from me. I admit, Kaye makes me cringe anyway, so that probably has a lot to do with it.

The stateroom scene in A Night at the Opera was an exercise in tedium for me.

that stupid assed 'clue' type movie. murder by death.
never heard of it until that clue versus mbd thread. I held off on voting until I saw mbd. clue hands down and that was within the first 5 minutes.
the 'where's the Tylenol?' tirade in christmas vacation. any scene with randy quaid's kids telling about there being no santa claus. that really isn't funny at all. that is the reality in the south Bronx.
never understood the hype of gilda Radner or jane curtain in Saturday night live. neither were funny just being themselves. heck. gilda was painful.
Sandra burnhard in anything. shoot me blind and stick a fork in my ears!
bridesmaids and the food poisoning or whatever.

I watched a Buster Keaton film in a classroom with a bunch of Canadian college kids and many were laughing hysterically at the ol dynamite substituted for a candle gag. I am sorry, but after seeing that in a million Bugs Bunny cartoons, it just is not funny in live action, especially a silent Keaton comedy. Maybe I would have found it amusing without the idiot chorus though. I was distracted by their cultural ignorance.

The real kicker is how many of those silent Keaton gags were copied by the Warner Bros. animators for those Bugs Bunny cartoons. With zero credit to Keaton, needless to add.

Pardon me but did you lose this?
*Elmer hides-the dynamite fizzles out*

I love and miss Gilda Radner. Thought her characters and performances were as strong as any of the guys on SNL.
Saw 'Gilda Live' at the Winter Garden in NYC. Still have the 'Lisa Lupner' glasses magneted to my fridge, plus a magnet picture of Emily Littela

I smirked, but only because everyone else thought it was funny. Meg Ryan's fake orgasm scene over lunch in When Harry Met Sally. They also plugged this sequence in the advertising and sold this flat film on that premise. I didn't find any of it funny. They also stole the 'I'll have what she's having' line from a cereal commercial

I generally don't like Billy Crystal in movies, with the one exception; I do like Forget Paris. Maybe Crystal played better opposite Winger than Ryan.
