Favorite Comedy Movie Scenes
Hi all, let's get the ball moving.
In Planes, Trains, and Automobiles:
On the plane out of New York, John Candy's character, Del, takes his shoes off, then his socks, then starts starts spinning his socks in in attempt to air them out. The phrase "Oh, Oh, my dogs are barking!"
Everytime I see that, I about lose it!
Also the scene while waiting for the plane, when John Candy and Steve Martin aknowledge their previous encounter with the cab downtown!!
What are your favorite scenes?

I can't really put my finger on one specific scene but I think the movie "Big MAMA's house " Oh wait, I remember! When Martin Lawerence was dressed as Big Mama he put duck tape on his neck to cover up the split in his mask.
It's so funny. It makes me laugh every time. I also liked "the Nutty Professor I". I like the way Eddie Murphy portrayed diffent people at the Dinner Table. This was fun, let's do it again.

Oh man, no doubt!! Especially the scene when Sherman brings Carla home to dinner with the family! That part when all the gas passing happens makes me bust such a gut!! And just the general obnoxiousness of the "Buddy Love" character. Yes let's keep this going!
The barbershop scene in "Coming To America" with Eddie and Arsenio? as old time guys debating Joe Lewis and Rocky Marciano, it was great!

Hi Wanda, received your e-mail. I liked the original "Vacation" much more. One scene that is my favorite; Clark is attempting to act cool (trying to impress Christie Brinkley) eating a sandwich, he takes a bite just as Ellen says the dog (aunt Edna's) pee'ed in the sandwiches!! Of course he tries to recover best he can. Don't know if Christie was impressed.......
One more: Clark is trying his best to be nice to Ellens relatives. They sit down for lunch to "hamburgers" Ed says, I don't know why they call it hamburger helper, it taste good all by it self! And then Clark attempts to put this nasty ketchup looking stuff on his "burger" and says "uh, real tomatoe ketchup Eddie?" "nothing but the best Clark!" John Candy had only a small role at the end, as the security guard at Wally World, but the movie would have been much different without him.
This is fun, more of this please....

I was having a brain fart last night when I typed that reply... I knew his name was Clark... anyway, that scene with him and the sandwich is too funny.. his tongue and the bologna (or baloney) are a hoot in that scene... and then when they put Edna on the roof!!!! OMG... And John Candy... that scene was made just for him!!!
Do you watch any stand up?

Wanda,
I made that movie my official Christmas must see every Christmas movie, or its not Christmas. I love that movie so much, I asked my son one year that all I wanted for Christmas from him & his wife was the movie "Christmas Vacation". So he found it for me & gave it to me about 3 years ago, now if I miss it on t.v. , all I have to do is shove it into the vcr, dont have it on dvd yet,d@mn that will be next! LOL

Hey Mike,
I have one for you. "Dumb & Dumber" the part when Harry(Jeff Daniels) is at the home of Mary Swanson(Lauren Holly), and he has to make a emergency bathroom run,because Lloyd (Jim Carrey) had poured alot of laxative in his coffee before he left for Mary's house. So Harry gets into the bathroom and sits on the toliet and passes gas and "lets it go!" Mary hollers to him from the other side of the door that the toliet is broke.. Its so funny to watch Harry's expressions on his face the whole time.
One of my all time fav's..
