Good call on Some Like it Hot. Also pretty much any film with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.

That part of The Odd Couple when they think Lemmon overdosed, eveybody panics.
Matthau: "RELAX! He coulda taken vitamins, he could be the healthiest person in the room!

Also Woody Allen, watch Sleeper and take your pick of classic movie moments.

The bit in Old School when Will Ferrell accidentally shoots himself in the neck with the tranquilliser gun.

Prior Of Taize

Trains Planes And Automobiles...Steve martin at the counter to complaion about his rental car that didnt exist...he said f*ck 19 times in 1 minute
only bad thing about the scene was it reminds me that steve martin isnt this funny any more

the commitments when Colm Meaney replies to an elvis bashing comment with "ELVIS IS GOD!!!"..colm Meaney in general is a very funny guy.

Feckin classic film

Two scenes from Team America for me.
1. The 'Karate' at the start of the film... excellent
2. when the actor is asked does he know 'the signal' if he gets in trouble, pure comedic genius.

BigCon

One of my favourites is the Cohen Brothers "Raising Arizona".
Listen to the attachment for a sample when the lads are robbing a bank (or store) and Gale (John Goodman) tell's everyone to "freeze and get down on the ground" - an old timer questions him...

In Airplane when Lloyd Bridges is giving orders to everyone in the airport and it's capped off by "Your wife is on line 2" and he just picks up the phone saying something like "I want the kids in bed, the dogs put out and leave a note for the milkman 'No More Cheese!!!' " and hangs up straight away - Brilliant!

Rantorama

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Steven Martin pretending to be handicapped to win the lady/sympathy:
Goes behind the hedge with steps down to the beach gets out of wheelchair, pushes own wheelchair down steps while screaming in terror. She runs after him and finds him slumped on sand with his wheelchair (which he placed there seconds earlier) by his side.


Spinal Tap moments:
This goes up to eleven,
D.J.'Where are they now'?
None more black


Kingpin Bill Murray’s hair: The more intense the bowling comp got the more lunatic his combover got

Gotta love the scene in The Big Lebowski when he nails a piece of wood in front of his door to stop it from being opened, then falls off his chair when the guys who are after him *pull* the door open to get in

I think I ruprtured something first time I saw it.

Big Lebowski - So many great scenes, but i'll stick with:

The Dude: Mr. Treehorn treats objects like women, man.
Malibu Police Chief: Mr. Treehorn draws a lot of water in this town. You don't draw ****, Lebowski. Now we got a nice, quiet little beach community here, and I aim to keep it nice and quiet. So let me make something plain. I don't like you sucking around, bothering our citizens, Lebowski. I don't like your jerk-off name. I don't like your jerk-off face. I don't like your jerk-off behavior, and I don't like you, jerk-off. Do I make myself clear?
The Dude: [after a pause] I'm sorry, I wasn't listening.

and then the coffee cup off his head

Tommy after beating Billy Batts to death:
Sure, mom, I settle down with a nice girl every night, then I'm free the next morning.

John Doh

Tommy: You know Spider, you're a ****in' mumbling stuttering little prick. You know that?

John Doh

[Henry, Jimmy and Tommy are digging with shovels to find Batts' corpse. Henry is sickened by the stench, but the others don't appear to be bothered]

Tommy DeVito: Hey Henry, Henry, hurry up will you? My mother's gonna make some fried peppers and sausage for us. Oh hey, Henry, Henry. Here's an arm.

Henry Hill: Very funny, guys.
Tommy DeVito: Hey, here's a leg. Here's a wing.
[He laughs]

Tommy DeVito: Hey, what do you like, the leg or the wing, Henry? Or do you still go for the old hearts and lungs?
[Henry vomits]

What's the funniest movie moment you've seen?

E.G. In Dumb & Dumber when Harry gets the squirts, that's funny but second only to the moment of realisation as he is told the toilet he just "landscaped" doesn't flush!

Or of course the classic "Biggus Dikkus" scene in Monty Python's Life Of Brian!

Spinal tap, when he can't get up during the solo, the "Sure, I"d vote for you, you're the only guy in school with a moustache" from Napoleon Dynimite, the phrase the Duder in the Big Lebowski, If you can dodge a wrench, the muffin man thing in Shrek...So many possibilities!

shewolf

nearly every scene in dumb and dumber, pure classic film - "ya wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!" then harry and lloyd start arguing about whos it and ur man reaches for his gun, brilliant

Wacker

Its not a comedy per se, but I think Pulp Fiction has some of the funniest moments ever. Especially:

"I shot Marvin in the face!"

Also, the bit in the Blues Brothers when the Blues Mobile starts essentially flying and the Illnois Nazis fly off the incomplete freeway. It makes so little sense!

Loaded weapon is class, that part at the start in the convenience store is brilliant.

Scene: Entire store is wrecked and on fire, all Indian guys shouting at Emilio Estevez. "No, No, its okay. Don't thank me, I'm just a cop, doin my job."

Pure hilarity.

Also the part where he walks into his caravan, and outside its tiny, inside hes in a massive hallway with marble pillars and a twenty foot ceiling.

"Yeah, I painted it light colours to make it look bigger."

An honorable mention the to the scene where hes talking about missing Clara so damn much, sob story, etc, then he looks at the photo frame and its a red setter dog. Class.
