Funniest movie scenes… I need to start with this: I laughed so hard I choked on a tortilla chip.

Not exaggerating. Not proud. But hey, that’s the kind of danger you sign up for when you rewatch the funniest movie scenes of all time while eating crunchy snacks alone on your couch at 11 PM.

I don’t even know why I did this to myself — again. It’s like that weird urge to rewatch your most embarrassing childhood video or text your ex after two sips of wine. You know it’s gonna wreck you, but you do it anyway.

Anyway. Let’s talk about it. These scenes? They’re more than just “haha that’s funny.” They’re “I had to pause the movie because I couldn’t breathe and my dog was concerned.”

1. The Anchorman Newsroom Fight (Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy)

I don’t know who decided it was a good idea to put Brick Tamland in a battle involving a trident, but give them a raise.

This entire scene is like if The Avengers was written by your drunk uncle. Out of nowhere, all these rival news teams show up like it’s West Side Story, but with more mustaches and absolutely zero logic. Weapons get pulled. Someone’s on fire. Brick straight-up murders a guy — and nobody blinks?

“I killed a guy with a trident.”
“Yeah, I saw that. Brick, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that…”

Genuinely, it’s so chaotic I think I burned calories laughing.

2. The Airplane Jive Scene (Airplane!)

Okay, Airplane! is basically a fever dream stitched together by one-liners, sight gags, and jokes you feel guilty for laughing at.

But that jive-talking scene? I cannot.

Two guys are speaking “jive” fluently (which is wild on its own), and then this sweet old lady — like crocheting-grandma energy — suddenly leans in and goes,

“Excuse me, I speak jive.”

And she translates.

Perfectly.

I mean, how do you write that? And more importantly, how do you not collapse laughing?

3. The Dinner Scene (The Nutty Professor – 1996)

If you’ve never watched Eddie Murphy play every single family member at dinner… you need to stop what you’re doing and go now.

This scene is just pure ridiculous genius. Farts. Shade. More farts. Random singing. I once showed it to my grandma and she said, “This is disgusting… put it on again.”

Also, how did they even film this? It’s just Eddie Murphy talking to himself over and over and over — and making each character so hilariously specific. Like Auntie wants to fight, Grandma wants to flirt, and Buddy Love is just… Buddy Love.

4. The “She’s Gonna Spew!” Scene (Wayne’s World)

Ah, puke comedy. Timeless. But somehow, Wayne’s World made it elegant.

They’re in the car. Garth turns around.

“If you’re gonna spew… spew into this.”
He offers a teeny-tiny paper cup. Like… a communion cup. WHAT?

This is one of those blink and you’ll miss it moments, but if you catch it? You’ll be laughing in the most unattractive way possible. I guarantee it.

5. Step Brothers – The Drum Set Incident

I have actual rage for anyone who hasn’t seen this.

Will Ferrell walks into the room, sees the drum set. And you know what he’s about to do. His brother warned him — “Don’t touch my drums.”
But does he listen? Of course not. He touches them. Then he… um, does other things to them.

When he gets caught?

“I swear, I was just looking at them.”

No, sir. You were not.

10/10. No notes.

6. Dumb and Dumber – The Most Annoying Sound in the World

You ever meet someone on a road trip who won’t shut up and you just want to launch yourself out of the car?

That’s this scene.

Jim Carrey’s character literally says:

“Hey, wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?”
And proceeds to destroy your soul with a high-pitched screech that could summon ghosts.

I once played this in a group chat. Haven’t been invited back since.

7. Bridesmaids – The Dress Fitting Disaster

Let me paint you a picture: You’re in a fancy bridal shop. Trying on dresses. It’s all lovely and ladylike… until food poisoning hits like a tsunami of doom.

This is chaos on heels. Melissa McCarthy crawling into a sink. Someone squatting in the middle of the street. The line “It’s happening. It’s happening. It’s coming out of me like lava.”

I mean. Who writes that?! I cried-laughed for real. It’s honestly art.

8. Tropic Thunder – “I’m a Dude Playing a Dude…”

Robert Downey Jr., in full Method Actor meltdown mode, says:

“I’m a dude… playing a dude… disguised as another dude.”

And you know what? I don’t even fully get what it means, but I quote it at least once a year. It’s so meta it folds in on itself like comedy origami.

Also, bonus chaos from Tom Cruise randomly dancing in a fat suit? This movie was just full unhinged energy and I respect it.

9. The Zoolander “Walk-Off” Scene

Who decided that two grown men should settle their fashion beef via an underground runway battle complete with backup dancers and glitter?

I love them for it.

Ben Stiller vs. Owen Wilson. Zoolander does Blue Steel. Hansel does a backflip and rips off his underwear mid-strut. It’s so dumb. So iconic. So… beautiful.

I swear I almost tried it once in college. (I would’ve faceplanted.)

10. The Caddyshack Pool Scene (You Know the One)

Okay, you remember this. The candy bar in the pool. Everyone panics like it’s radioactive waste. Pool is cleared. Sirens. Total horror movie energy.

And then Bill Murray, deadpan as ever, walks up. Picks it up.
Sniffs it.

Takes a bite.

If that isn’t peak dumb comedy, I don’t know what is. I once made my cousin watch it and she screamed, “WHY WOULD YOU SHOW ME THIS?” Then she watched it again.

Wrapping My Brain Around This funniest movie scenes

Listen, comedy is subjective, sure. But these funniest movie scenes are like the Avengers of laugh attacks. You might not love every single one, but if even one of these didn’t make you lose it a little… are you okay? https://kohopoho.com/funny-inspirational-quotes/.

Also — I didn’t even get to Monty Python, or Hot Rod, or literally any animated movie (because Shrek alone deserves a blog post). Might need a Part 2.

And if I missed your favorite scene? Tell me. Actually, yell at me in the comments. Bonus points if it involves poop, pratfalls, or passive-aggressive moms.

Anyway. Be careful watching these. Not because they’re dangerous — but because if you’re eating tortilla chips? You will choke.
