My Top Fifteen Favorite Motion Picture Comedy Scenes

This was a difficult list to compile. Your mileage may vary and I'm sure I left out some killer scenes, so feel free to chime in. I essentially chose these scenes based on how hard I laughed when I first watched them.

Anyway, here is my list (in no particular order -- viewer discretion is advised on some of these videos):

(1) The Marshall Lucky commercial in "Used Cars"
(2) The Don't Take Those scene in "Up In Smoke"
(3) The Oktoberfest scene in "The Pink Panther Strikes Again"
(4) The Filth Farmers scene in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
(5) The Master Exploder dream from "The Pick of Destiny"
(6) The Gene Wilder in Blackface scene in "Silver Streak"
(7) The part in "Tootsie" where Dustin Hoffman reveals his identity
(8) The fight scene in "Borat" (not suitable for viewing anywhere)
(9) The de-thawing scene in "Austin Powers" (here is part of it)
(10) Peter Sellers' final scene in "Dr. Strangelove"
(11) The Sex Scene in "Team America" (unrated version)
(12) The I Have a Gweat Fwiend In Wome Scene from "Life of Brian"
(13) Unkle Phukka from "South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut"
(14) The Weed Fantasy scene in "Harold and Kumar I"
(15) The Ruprecht scene in "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"

Honorable Mention: Mongo's arrival at Rock Ridge in Blazing Saddles, The Sweating Scene from Broadcast News, the "Stupidest Man On Earth" scene in Ruthless People, the "That's Our Hitler!" scene in The Producers, the "Nobody F*cks With The Jesus" scene from Big Lebowski, the scene in All of Me where Steve Martin is trying to walk, the "Severed Hand v. Man" fight scene in Evil Dead 2, the "Go to Eleven" scene in Spinal Tap, the scene in Office Space where Peter meets with the Two Bobs, the "Pros From Dover" scene in MASH, the "Boy Visits Cockpit" scene in Airplane!, and the Battle of Wits in The Princess Bride.
