What was a moment in a movie that had you laughing because it was so absurd?

The 18 wheeler launched her into a bingo hall just as the guy yells “YEAH I WON!”

I laughed reading this lmao

That was amazing

They also use a small child’s doll as a miniature prop in that same one I believe

His name is iceburgh and yes that scene is incredible

Martin Crane Voice

Like you saw that coming!

YOU NICKNAMED MY DAUGHTER AFTER THE LOCH NESS MONSTER???

Whenever I carry my fiancee I'll say "hold on tight, spider monkey" and she will burst out laughing lol

Vampire baseball, the wolf guy wants to bang a baby, Kristen Stewart acting her ass off, the dream fight. Just an all around great franchise, real big snub at the academy awards

I saw this in the theater. I was way too young for the movie but my sister had a thing for Brad Pitt. Most of the people there were couples. At least three different guys burst out laughing when Pitt got hit by the cars. One of them really pissed his date off by doing so because she made a scene and stormed out. It was the most entertaining part of a very slow-burning film.

I read this as Jack Black and was trying to remember which movie this was 

I've always felt it was intentionally silly. Martin Brest did comedies before his more serious movies and even his serious movies have plenty of humorous scenes.

I'll add in Brad Pitt's Jamaican accent. Such an uncomfortable moment.

The bit where he gets stabbed and Imhotep runs up to him from offscreen, gets down on one knee, and yells "Noooooo!!"

I cry laughing every single time

I remember seeing it in theaters as a kid and thinking "wtf my ps2 has better looking cgi"

That was me but in the 6th movie. I saw it in theater. It felt like the movie where they really jumped the shark. But the scene where Vin Superman flys over a bridge, catches Letty, then lands on the hood of another car both unscathed was hilarious. I was laughing so hard and got a lot of looks from big bros like wtf is so funny???

The one where John Cena was introduced (9?). Vin Diesel literally uses the wheel well and front wheel of a car to Tarzan over a ravine. I laughed so hard my face hurt.

Mine is when they rammed a car through a high rise only to have it safely crash and drive through ANOTHER high rise!! I was laughing for a solid minute.

Pulling a 20 ton safe behind sports cars like it was a pinball

The moment where he's shoving the drawings in his mouth always got me

The yelling of "DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY FOODS LOOK LIKE DICKS?" Just fuckin kills me each time

Ending credits get me every time. 

Like... Real professional artists got paid to do that.

Also, made me up my game. If I'm drawing a penis on something it's going to be elaborate.

So my friends and I were watching this one day while baked out of our minds. My one buddy is just sitting on the couch naming every picture as they played, “Triumphant Penis, Open-Heart Penis, Wild West Penis”. I’ve never laughed that hard in my life and now every time I watch the film I wait for the end credits and laugh my ass off remembering his improv’d names for each pic!

The sequel, GI Joe retaliation, has an even better one and I've brought this up in like six reddit comments now, but I genuinely feel like it's my mission to proselytise this movie so that as many people see it as possible

The president of the United States, who's secretly a cobra agent in disguise (and played by the ever excellent Jonathan Pryce), invites all the nuclear equipped nations to a summit discussing nuclear disarmament. 

At the summit, he declares war on every head of state present at the table, and launches America's entire nuclear arsenal at all of their countries. Enraged, everybody pulls out their nuclear briefcases and launches their own nukes at america while the president literally plays angry birds on his phone.

Once every nuke is in the air, he then unilaterally deactivates all American nukes "in a show of good faith", and we dont know if it's the emotionally charged situation causing lapses in judgment or that every president in the GI Joe universe has been dropped on their heads as babies, but they think america was just pulling a wild move to disarm everyone's nukes, and subsequently blow their own nukes out of the sky.

It is at this point cobra commander appears, with the biggest briefcase of them all, revealing the orbital superweapon they had built in secret. They immediately destroy london to force all world leaders to comply.

This is such a completely insane sequence of events with so much stupidity, that I feel the script writer should have won an Oscar in a new category just made for this film. One of my all time favorite villain plots.

“I asked Michael why it was easier to train oil drillers to become astronauts than it was to train astronauts to become oil drillers, and he told me to shut the fuck up. So that was the end of that talk.”

space dementia

Incredible movies, my buddies and I were drunk as a fuck watching Crank 2 and when the card saying "14 seconds later" and the dude is still running at full tilt we howled man.

100% and 100% awesome! So ridiculous you just have to let go and go along for the ride

I’m still waiting for Crank 3 where they turn Chev Chelios into a cyborg. I’ll still watch it over and over 😆 those movies are some of my biggest guilty pleasures films.

Those movies were so insane, they were fun!

On a similar note, Bridesmaids when they all get food poisoning.

Maya Rudolph going from a run to a walk, to sinking to the ground in the middle of the road all while saying, “It’s happening… it’s happening… it’s happening… it happened.”

Weirdly the whole movie up until then I found hilarious but the ending made me genuinely unsettled for some reason

I used to go to a lot of horror conventions. One of my favorite memories is standing in line to meet her, and the guy in front of me just bails. She looks at his companion, girlfriend, whatever, and goes "where's he going?" Then looks at the guys retreating back and yells, "you don't have to leave! I don't actually have a dick!"

The only thing missing was the Wilhellm scream.

BONG!!! 🤣

I was ten and I just busted out laughing when this happened. The fact my dad was snorting trying to keep it in was the icing on the cake. Mom did not find it amusing.

Sentences you can hear, lol.

Cool beans.

Nobody laughed at that?! That scenes iconic. I'm glad that movie gets the love it does these days.

no one else in the theater even chuckled

You’re about to make tears come out of my face

"Hwhy do I say hwhat, hwhat hway?!"

“I’m a peacock sir, you gotta let me fly!” No matter what he’s doing, that’s all that echoes in my head. He did a whole Planet of the Apes movie.

He actually originally did it in Part VII (new blood AKA Jason vs Carrie) but the scene was almost completely cut due to censorship.

They had him do it again in Jason X, and this time it was mostly uncut, which is why it's often remembered as being from that one instead.

That whole movie was ridiculous. But in a good way because the movie, filmmakers knew it was ridiculous

That whole movie is ridiculous to be honest. And it still made me tear up.

Chekov's Butt Plug. As soon as i saw that award, i knew there was a butt plug joke coming, and it still made me crack up.

That and Racacoonie had me in hysterics. What an insane movie.

Somehow Palpatine returned

To keep it on Star Wars, palpatine’s plan to kill Padme in Attack of the Clones is the funniest shit if you break down the plan step by step.

Palpatine wants kill Padme.

He tasks count dooku to kill her instead.

Count Dooku hires a bounty hunter to do it instead.

The bounty hunter hires another bounty hunter who’s also a shape shifter to do it instead.

The bounty hunter uses a robot to do it instead.

The robot then uses worms to do it instead.

What the fuck.

The shape shifter then tries to hide from the Jedi, but doesn’t use her shape shifting powers, so the bounty hunter being a shape shifter serves absolutely no purpose in the plot so WHY DID YOU MAKE THEM A SHAPE SHIFTER GEORGE?

And then, while the Jedi are chasing the shape shifter, Padme is completely unguarded, but instead of any of the previous 3 people just going and killing her, they have Jango Fett kill the shape shifter.

Also, after all this goes down, Obi Wan learns that the clones are being produced, and he learns that the guy the clones are being made from is evil. And he learns that the same guy that’s evil that the clones are being made from is working for another evil Sith. But never once does anyone put 2 and 2 together to say “maybe the clones, who are clones of an evil guy working for our greatest enemy, are also evil.”

This movie fucking irritates me.

Or when Rey magically lined up that sith dagger against the death star wreckage.

Good question! I don't even really recall exactly how they ended up there, since that movie got quite boring about an hour and a half before that. 

A good question....for another time.

They fly now?!?!

That's like the best scene from a humor standpoint in that movie tho. I cried laughing the first time I watched that scene.

I read that as "Elvis jumping over..." -- I would definitely watch that version of Tolkien.

So many good ones in Austin Powers.

When “mini-me” is first revealed, Dr. Evil turns to him and does a little startled jump when he sees how small he is.

And then?

What does mine say? "DUDE!" What does mine say?

I watched it last year and was amazed that it held up so well. Possibly funnier now than when I watched it back in the day

It's so stupid it's genius.

Man, and here I thought I was the only one that liked that movie. I’ve never met anyone else that does, and all of my friends hate it.

Really!?!

Firstly, picking anything from UHF is akin to cheating.

Secondly, how is THAT the most absurd thing?

“You get to drink from the fire hose!”

“What’s in the box!? Nothing!!! Stupid! You are so stupid!!”

Spatula fucking City.

The only thing worse than that (albeit not so funny) was when she learned Han had been killed by her own son after she talked him into trying to reason with him, and she runs past longtime friend Chewbacca to hug this new girl she just met.

God it would have been the perfect send off if they just killed her. Kylo would've killed both his parents, and then we wouldn't have had to deal with the CG Leia.

obligatory " hidey- ho officer we've had a doozy of a day."

When the movie gave up all pretense of being a horror movie.

“It’s not a good time to be a Nazi.”

Fun fact, I actually saw that movie at the midnight screening in that museum. It's the Udvar-Hazy Center in Dulles. The whole crowd went fucking wild when we realized that Blackbird was only 200 feet from where we were sitting.

But I want to say they took some kind of portal to that desert.
