re: Underrated movie scene/line that makes you laugh

I am an unapologetic fan of Armageddon. So many funny little parts like that. I love the scene where Owen Wilson says "what's the deal, is it just me or is Watts really hot?" and Buscemi makes that little smirk and nod. So great.

Not sure if underrated or not, but lots of just hilarious off the wall stuff in Fletch-- especially when he makes up names on the fly:

"Well, you know that and I know that, but somebody's buckin' for a promotion... probably that pederast, Hanrahan..."

"It's John!"
"John who?"
"John Cock... toast.. tone"
"That's a beautiful name!"
"Well, it's Scotch-Romanian"

"Oh, for ga-da-da!! Who is it, Mr. Sinalindin?"

"What kind of name is Poon, anyway?"
"Comanche indian"

"Hmm...Arnold Babar. Isn't there a children's book about an elephant named Babar?"
"I don't know. I don't have any"
"No children?"
"No elephant books."

"May I help you Dr...?"
"Oh, it's me, Dr. Rosenpenis. I'm just here to check out Alan Stanwyk's file."
"Dr. who?"
"Dr. Rosenrosen, I'm here to get to the records room."
"What was that name again?"
"It's Dr. Rosen, I want to check the records room."

"Can I borrow a towel? My car just hit a water buffalo..."

"Muchas gracias, Senor!"
"Tierra del Fuego"

"As I pulled up to my imitation palatial apartment building, I noticed the familiar red Oldsmobuick of one Arnold J. Pants, esquire, attorney to the former Mrs. Irwin M. Fletcher."

"Can I get you something?"
"Yes, do you have the Beatles white album? Never mind, get just get me glass of hot fat. And bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia while you're out there."

That part of Forrest Gump where he goes to Memphis to see Jenny at the strip club. She starts singing with nothing on and a guitar covering her naked body. You here one guy in the background go "somebody get her a harmonica".

I crack up every time I hear that part of the movie.

One of my favorites has always been from the movie Antz.

They just finished a battle between different ant groups and the Woody Allen character picks up the head of an older ant from his side and the detached head says "I can't feel my legs..." and I died laughing. Still makes me laugh to this day.

also from Wedding Singer:

pretty much every scene with Buscemi

George singing and then the off screen YOU SUUUUUUCKKKKKK

Can the boy tell time?

Oh, dear God, no.

I’m not talkin about dance lessons. I’m talkin about puttin a brick through the other guy’s window. I’m talkin about takin it out and choppin it up.

We’re all dead. Burnt to a crisp.

We forgot Buckley.

Doesn’t matter.
