The Funniest Movie/TV Series Scenes

This comes to my mind:



I can relate which makes it funny. I have also needed to piss before, but not in Church unless I had imbibed a little too much of the holy spirits.

British humour is great, haha. Pee-p Show. 

Sometimes sense of humour does not translate, because of cultural differences or lingual disparities. For instance the humour here cannot be understood by a person who only knows Turkish. Also, the "joke" cannot be translated to Turkish literally. You've gotta explain it, or make a different joke. See? Pepsi Free (of sugar). "Bedava Pepsi" would come to mean Pepsi Free (can be acquired without payment) or Şekersiz Pepsi (Pepsi without any sugar in it). Free only means without any payment or independent in Turkish. Free (of sugar) can be said as "şekersiz" and it cannot be mingled with the "freedom" concept. Şeker is sugar, and şekersiz means withoout any sugar in it. Here "free of sugar" is a word construction, while in Turkish "sugar" takes a suffix (-siz), so you cannot put the concept "without sugar".

Most of the comedy shows I watch are British. I do like those Austin Powers films too (Mike Myers being a Canadian playing a Brit).

I like comedy that often has some psychological aspect to it, or philosophical, is a comedy of embarrassment, some of it can have a horror element, or is just plain absurd. And I like to when it tells a story more so than just a gag. And it's not just the situation or dialogue that tends to "get me, it's the comedy of character (especially characters that I can relate to, and often who are in situations that I can relate with)

This is a favourite scene of mine from The Meaning of Life:



I do tend to appreciate dark comedy, and so I like Harold and Maude a lot:

YES ! All of it ! The scene where he beats his car with a tree branch. The Germans. The Reno. it just goes on and on. I used to get to see it on late night/early morning TV channels when I was on the road.

Some of the best comedy moments of the last couple of decades came from Peep Show IMO. Love that show to bits.

Taskmaster is my favourite British TV show right now.

Have you seen Toni Erdmann Logan? Its a brilliant germen black comedy film very strange yet cool. There is one very funny scene in particular in it.
