Again in my boredom or more accurately my pracrastinative state, I perused the venerable youtube. I came across some clips put together by people. Funny about that. This internet thing is so clever, but it’ll never catch on.
Anyway I digress. These clips were cut together pieces of movies under the title “funniest movie scenes ever“. Big call. They had the usual suspects – Mike Myers, that guy from Rush Hour (not Jackie Chan), Ron Burgundy, and some Monty Python. Funny? Yes. Original? Maybe not, except for the goonish Monty Python blokes.
So I’ve had another peek to see if I can find some of my favourites:
Peter Sellers asking about a dog
Sorry…Peter Sellers at a Party
Who’s on first?
Steve Zissou does his dance
Oh, I could go on, but I can’t find the clips.
Except for 1 of my top 2:
Fast forward to 4 minutes and see a slapstick master in action (the rest of the clips are great as well)
My other favourite is of Bill Murray’s Bob Harris character in Lost in Translation. He’s on some gym equipment and it’s running backwards while yelling at him in Japanese (if you find the clip send it to me!).
Anyhoo – I’m sure you won’t find my favourites as funny as your favourites, but that’s just taste. Enjoy.
