The Funniest Movie/TV Series Scenes

This is really difficult and I can not even think of the funniest anything ... since there are so many films that do this and that and then you get the American films that are more about their sketches (TV styled!), and to me not half as funny ... and then you see a guy mix a cartoon with the real film, and we don't think it is funny ... or seeing something from a different country, and it is not funny because two thirds of the world did not have the kind of film and TV presentations that America and Europe did at first. It's not like Japan did not have it either, but we don't seem to find anything funny in the East, and some of their anime is nutz and then some!

I really have no favorite and would love to have watched some of the things that Bald Jean mentions and others. All the American stuff, is NOT that funny for me, and some of the folks are ridiculously unfunny, and just cardboard actors.

Btw, one of my favorite bits, that I had to stop the film and laughed for half an hour, was Michael Keaton doing his Monty Python bit in that Shakespeare play ... now that was completely and utterly ridiculous and funny, and he took it to the end, something many actors can not do. 

But all in all, nothing, or anyone is as funny as the voices and characters that Peter Sellers had in THE GOON SHOW ... and in some 12 years or so, no one did more with a character than he did, and it was insane ... totally insane, and amazing to watch ... but he had the "best" character sense, of anyone I have ever seen on screen. 

 

However, the funniest (cleverest) scene I've seen is from "Top Secret!", the Swedish bookstore scene:

 

 

 

 

I think so.  I certainly don't get what's funny about it.

Can you explain it to me?

This is another example of German humour, a mockumentary about a certain Georg (called "Schorsch") Aigner (played by German comedian Olli Dittrich who also wrote the script) who, as this 40 minutes feature claims, often acted as a double for famous soccer player Franz Beckenbauer. The mockumentary is from 2015.

The funny thing about this mockumentary is that it sounds absolutely plausible. The people appearing in this video all play themselves except for Dittrich. Ralph Siegel really is a famous music producer in Germany, Uwe Seeler is another famous German soccer player who played in the German national team alongside Beckenbauer, Dieter Kürten is a famous sports journalist in Germany, and all the events mentioned in this mockumentary REALLY happened, except for the fact that there never was a double for Franz Beckenbauer. Or was there? At a certain time in his career Beckenbauer really scored two own goals within one week; the movie claims that this was when Georg Aigner, who allegedly is a bad soccer player, played instead of Beckenbauer.

Olli Dittrich gets Franz Beckenbauer down to a T and even looks like him. The whole movie is an elaborate hoax and brilliantly funny. For a German viewer, that is.

The mockumentary won a Grimme award in 2016. The Grimme awards are the most prestigious TV-awards in Germany and given in several categories; they can be compared to the Emmie awards in the USA.
