Subject: Funny Scenes In Great Movies?

They don't even need to be classified as "Comedy", but something YOU find is very funny. If you have a YouTube link, even better.. I tried finding one, but it's 3.5 hours long, and it's in Japanese (some videos don't allow subtitles), so I'll try to describe it as best as I can....
In "Seven Samurai", there's this hilarious scene. Takashi Shimura is the ronin - the elder samurai, wise, and leader of the clan. He tells the other younger guys how to test a samurai. The ronin stands to the side of the door, and says you can tell a true samurai when he enters. If he's aware, he won't just walk into danger and get clobbered during his entrance, since they have been hired to take on a hard mission, with most unwilling to help.
Toshiro Mifune wants to be part of the clan. One of the samurai who is in the group of six (they want seven, but are short on time) sees Mifune fight and tells the ronin,
"Hey, I just found a real tough samurai. There was a huge fight. They were no match for him. Never seen anything like it. He's like a wild dog. He's on his way. Shall we give him the usual (the door test)"
A guy gets ready for "the test". Someone cries out, "That's a dirty trick..... He's drunk". The ronin replies stoically, "A true samurai won't get hit." The concerned samurai isn't convinced, "But this guy's drunk!" "A samurai never drinks enough to dull his wits." says the ronin
Mifune enters, and CLOCK! So much for a true samurai
"Who hit me?"
Mifune then sees the ronin. "I see that bald head of yours in my dreams! How dare you say I'm not a real samurai I may look like hell, but I'm a real samurai! Look at this! This is my family tree. All my ancestors are here. My honorable self is right here."
The ronin asks, "So this Kikuchiyo here would be you?" "That is correct" replies Mifune The ronin smiles, ""Kikuchiyo, born February 17, 1574." "What's so damned funny?" "You hardly look 13 years old to me. If you are in fact the Kikuchiyo listed here, you'd now be precisely 13 years old.
Everyone realizes the ruse, Mifune gets angry and wants to fight. And the others are still laughing, and want to tease him, luring him into some friendly fighting, calling him "Thirteen" as if it were his name, and other pejoratives associated with this bullsh*tty "I come from a long line of samurai family" scrolls (yet, he can't even stand up straight!)
"Goddamn it, you son of a bitch! "What's wrong, teenager? Here you are."
"What's wrong, Lord Kikuchiyo?" "What's the matter, junior?"
Before Mifune passes out from being too drunk, he utters, "Screw samurai!" - Is he really a samurai? - In his own mind, anyway.
(The next scene is pretty amazing, too.. but for completely different reasons)

Hi,
Some of the fun'est things I have seen were in an Italian film, "The Icicle Thief" ... which was a satire film and then some ... but one of the greatest things in it, is that they allowed a kid, probably a year or so old, to run a muck, and they filmed everything, and while some bits were probably dangerous and scary, most of them were incredibly funny and you can't help getting up off the couch and go ... stop! stop! ... as the kid spills the hot food from the oven skillet and then laughs! You can't help it ... you end up laughing!

Horror films should have comedy moments to make them work. I would nominate Dog Soldiers in that regards and also the Spanish film Rec3. They are are an absolute blast. Trying to pick scenes is difficult but in Rec3 it looks as if its going to be a boring 'found footage' horror flick then the guy just chucks the camera away when he's being chased by a zombie saying ' ''f**k that'' and then we have a normal film. That made me laugh!

The scene in "Duets" where the character played by Paul Giamatti is getting up in the morning. Priceless.
