I was the only one in the theatre laughing at the end of Adaptation--though in that cause, the laughter was appropriate and silence was not.

I died durring the whole "english mother f'er, do you speak it" speech in pulp fiction (actually the entire scene)
I am not sure if it was intened as a joke or not but I laughed at the part where Clarence says on the billboard "I'm kind of glad that when I pulled up your dress, you didn't have a dick"

Christopher Walken's line in True Romance: I haven't killed anyone. Since 1984.

Well til this day..nothing has made me laugh so hard in theaters than Species 2!


I was rolling on the floor with laughter when the incest sister stomach starts expanding & she wabbles backwards falling on her ass screaming as it bursts open & a alien baby comes out.

The general with the glass eye who resembles Archie Bunker in away.

The stereotyped black guy

All the dialogue had me in stiches

The dramatic father son reunion scene where as they hug pleading "i'll help you son!"..only to have the son kill his dad with tentacles bursting through his body a microsecond later.

+ just everything about the film was making me laugh uncontrollably.I did my best not to laugh to loudly in the theater & was almost successful.Yet when it was over...i was litterally on my knee's in the lobby dieing of laughter i could not breath!


Oh yeah..everyone else in theater must have been expecting a serious film.That when they saw it was a all out exploitation film & nothing else.They were more shocked by it..& didn't find it funny at all & really thought i was insensitive for laughing at parts of the film.Now thats scary!



We We're Soldiers got some laughs from me.Just from the sheer hokiness of it all. From the too perfect to be true family & troops.The blatantly forced patriotism which rather than being rousing & makes you proud.Felt phony & very corny.The dumb attempts at humor such as "They only allow white clothes to be washed there!" joke.

When that one black guy dies in the field..& says something like "I'm glad i died for..ughh my ughhh country" before croaking. When they delivered the letter to his wife was a real hoot.Just watch the expression on her face as she tries to act tough & heartbroken.

She gets defensive trying to keep her posture..then "Nuhhh"..."NUhhhhhhhh" fighting to hold tears back...then starts breaking down badly....really had me laughing.

May seem insensitve...but this film was to much for me.At least the war scenes were actually powerful & brutal.Yet every other attempt at drama to make you care about the people was to forced & corny that i was not able to buy into it for a moment.

Yeah that one was a good comedy.

I remember when i saw Traffic,in the very beginning of the movie when the two Mexican cops arrest the drug dealers one of them says to the dealers,"get on the floor,sweetie" in spanish,i swear i almost busted a gut. Everyone was looking at me strange,probably because i was the only one there who spoke and understood spanish.

At the begining of Biker Boyz, an audience member in the backround says "Man, he died already" and we all busted out laughing even though it was a touching moment.

In Sixth Sense where Stuttering Stanley yelled out, "SHUT UP YOU F-F-F-F-FREAK!"

There was a guy nearby who laughed just as hard as I did.

I laughed at a lot of American Psycho. Not because it's bad, but because I'm sick.

Chris Walken being the one delivering the monologue didn't help matters. That's still one of the best written bits I've ever seen in my life.
Thought this monologue was funny as hell but apparently noone else in the theater did.

I was the only one laughing when the Punisher's family was getting killed in The Punisher. Just something about it was hilarious, especially when the mom was pulling the son out of the car and he said "oh my arm". Maybe i was just in a weird a mood but that whole movie was hilarious, even the somewhat serious parts.

I laughed from beginning to end during Van Helsing due to its sheer cheese factor. No one else was laughing with me

Just reading through the thread...it seems that some people react to things that make others uncomfortable by laughing. Is this a macho thing to cover ones own discomfort...or do people really find some of the stuff funny. Hard to say.

Anyway....went to see Schindler's List with a friend and he laughed out loud when the pot bellied Nazi was picking off people from the balcony with the high powered rifle. I wanted to sink into my seat it was so mortifying.

The most recent laugher for me was every time George Clooney kissed Katherine Zeta Jones in Intolerable Cruelty. It looked like he was eating her. Its at that point I realized that maybe George Clooney and Kevin Spacey might not be too disappointed to be marroned on a deserted island together ;-)

the kama sutra line from the Bill Murray film "Scrooged" my friend and I hooted - we were the only ones who found the line to be funny.

Just the other day I laughed at the triple X-rated flick at the local porn theatre - the two women on screen's rhythmic in-tandem orgasmic ah- ah-ahing was insanely funny (they sounded like they were about to break out into song.) - I laughed, needless to say I quickly sunk into my seat in embarrasement.

I laughed my ass off during Cold Creek Manor when the snakes were all over the house. I guess it was appropriate to laugh, god damn joke!
