What Comedy Scenes Do You Love?

New York City is icy cold, so to warm up the day, I’d love to ask: what funny scenes do you like in movies and TV shows? Here are five that make me laugh every time…

In Broad City, Ilana realizes how much time Abbi spends at Bed Bath & Beyond. The secret handshakes are genius.

Every moment with Kelli in Insecure.

Palm Springs, when Andy Samberg (while stuck in a time loop) knows exactly how to dance along with everyone at the party.

Fleabag Season 2! Hair IS everything.

Discussing oral sex in Bridesmaids, hahaha.

What scenes do you love in movies and TV shows? So much comedy gold out there!

P.S. Nine couples with the best on-screen chemistry, and the ultimate TV guide, if you’re looking for something great.

– Any scene from the Dinner Party episode of the Office.
– Also the Office, when Kevin spills the chili he made and uses various office supplies to desperately try to sweep it back into the pot, timed with his voiceover, “Chili…is probably the thing I do best.” https://youtu.be/WcYG-5b7448

The first time I remember crying with laughter at a scripted show was Ross and Monica’s dance in ‘Friends’. I’d have been about 14 I think.

Melissa McCarthy on SNL movin’ that goddam White House podium around saying “Don’t make me move this podium.” I was dying.
Bill Murray in “What About Bob”?”. As a dinner guest him chewing his food while repeatedly going “Mmmm. Mmmmm. Mmmm. Mmmm. Mmmmm.” I was gasping for air.

Love it! I have a youtube saved list named “cheer up” that I will soon be updating with all these happy suggestions.
A couple from my list that I haven’t seen mentioned yet: Paul Rudd lip syncing to Tina Turner on Jimmy Fallon https://time.com/10106/jimmy-fallon-paul-rudd-lip-sync-tonight-show/?jwsource=cl and Snoop Dogg and Kevin Hart’s commentary on the Olympics https://youtu.be/cmJOdI3UJP8

Steven Toast as a voice artist recording the word “Yes” and taking notes from a booth full of hipsters never fails to make my sides ache from laughter! https://youtu.be/0bYY8m1Lb2I

The movie itself is pretty meh but the scene in Wanderlust where Paul Rudd tries to rev himself up to have a one night stand is comedy gold https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajzqGVB0rY

The scene from The Office when they are all learning how to do CPR. I watch this when I am sad. It always cracks me up and makes me feel so much better.

SNL’s opening monologue from Kevin Hart where he talks about the thug raccoon trying to break into his house.
Also another SNL with Kevin Hart playing James Brown: “I think we’re pretty good where we’re at funkwise”
SNL with Melissa McCarthy as Coach Sheila Kelly is also hilarious!

SNL with Melissa McCarthy as anything is hilarious! My favorite is when she did the Hidden Valley Ranch dressing focus group and was desperate for cash.

Going back to Bridesmaids, the scene where Annie attacks the giant cookie at the bridal shower gets me every time. Top rate physical comedy!

The scene in the office where Stanley yells at Ryan. Hands down the funniest scene for me in that show. https://youtu.be/ugwj8452Ucs

Definitely the outtakes from Seinfeld when Elaine and Frank Costanza go after each other. Cannot stop laughing. https://youtu.be/L2LdHH0hmHY

SNL skits. Bill Hader is an older man married to Cecily Strong and once his cialis kicks in he screams out, “Jeanie, it’s here now”. The scene just keeps getting better and better.

When Ryan Gosling can’t get over the font Papyrus.

He’s so mad at it and it is amazing!!!

In Community Donal Glover says the most amazing lines. “Kettle Corn, That’s a fun time snack”

Or when Troy meets LeVar Burton

Tom Hollan and Zendaya’s lip sync battle! Some of the older comments are so funny-tom brought a tank to a knife fight.

I love George on Seinfeld’s late comeback line – “well the jerk store called and they’re running out of you!” I’ve tried to retell that show anecdote and usually only one or two patient people will stick with me through the end to the final punch line. I think that’s more due to my deficiencies in storytelling than the comedic value from Seinfeld. Look it up it is very very funny!

In Parks and Rec, when Ron Swanson pretends to take out a tooth with pliers and Tom faints. It gets me EVERY time!

So many laugh out loud moments in “As Good as it Gets” Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson. Same with “Family Stone”

In the wake of both Bob Saget and Norm Macdonald passing away, ive watched some old SNL clips and LMAO. Highly recommend tripping down that rabbit hole for a minute.
