Hidden Gems in Comedy Movies

[JM4CY]

While bored in quarantine I have pondered through various hidden gems that lie in comedy films. While this isn’t meant to be a thread about the quality of the movie in and of itself. Rather a particular scene in a movie that is hilarious.

I’ll start. Paul Rudd in Wanderlust

NSFW

 

[Mr Janny]

Willem Dafoe as Klaus in "The Life Aquatic"
He's supposed to play it fairly straight, which he does, but his performance just makes me laugh

I don't know how far to stretch "comedy" but J. K. Simmons in "Burn After Reading".

There is a Blake Griffin scene that is so amazingly hilarious in this movie:


One of the best comedies I've ever seen love it:

Strange Wilderness got terrible reviews, and probably rightfully so. But some of the voiceover "facts" are gold.

Every line by Paul Rudd in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

A couple i just rewatched that i was reminded are decent:
30 Minutes or Less (Jesse Eisenberg/Aziz Ansari/Nick Swardson)
Rat Race (older, but great cast and Lovitz is a gem in it)

That was one of my most enjoyable in theater moments. For some reason I don't think the trailers did justice to how funny that movie was. I went in with low expectations and laughed my *** off for 90 minutes straight.

I think that was the last comedy movie I saw in theaters lol and I had the same experience haha. Jonah Hill and Jack McBrayer's characters are gold too. I gotta rewatch that one soon.

Rat Race is a great movie, completely forgot about that one haha

Basically anything in the Naked Gun movies is classic.

There are so many one liners that, without paying attention, you'd miss.

Very subtle comedy.

I gotta ask.. is your Avi of your Family in Bob's Burgers animation?

The accidental Hitler scene in Rat Race is comedy genius.

Oh, agree completely....along with his daughter talking about prairie dogging a turd, lol.

Seth Green and his brother's characters are great

"When Life gives you lemons, **** the lemons and bolt."

This always slays me:



"Got a guy on the other line pretty interested in a set of white walls"
