Funniest scene I ever seen...

Jonathon Winters 'gas station' scene in It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. When the scene cuts to him riding that broken down bicycle after Phil Silvers leave him stranded, I just howl! That is comedy at it's best. :eusa_clap

I must admit too, whenever I see Chico Marx playing piano in a Marx Brothers Comedy, I can't help but laugh out loud. lol
Watch the faces on the girls in the background on this clip!

cagney and clark was funnier lol

 

[The Wolf]

Obviously the Marx Brothers, Abbott and Costello and Laurel and Hardy had some hilarious scenes but my first thought was a scene From Star Spangled Rhythm. Betty Hutton tries to get over a studio wall and asks for help from a couple of passing men. The following crazy gymnastic scene makes me laugh out loud.

Sincerely,
The Wolf

My vote goes to Ginger.

Seen here in "Vivacious Lady".

I love Ginger's reply about taking the last piece of her mind

 

[Pilgrim]

I don't know if it's THE funniest, but I have a couple of favorites.

One is the fistfight scene from McClintock, with everyone sliding down into the mud pit, and Maureen O'Hara sticking John Wayne with the hat pin.

Another is from The Great Race, when Peter Falk is dressed as a friar, wants to spring The Great Leslie from the prison and is carrying a lead pipe under his cassock...he follows the guard around the corner, says 'Bless you, my son", and hits him on the head with the pipe "TOOOONG!".

....and when Professor Fate learns that Leslie has "escaped with a Friar", he screams "Leslie escaped with a CHICKEN??"

On reflection - perhaps my all time favorite is in Animal House. It's the scene where Dean Wermer is taking with the Mayor in his office, and the dead horse is laying hooves-up behind the couch. While they're talking, a workman comes in, measures the width of the doorway, walks over and measures the horse, shakes his head and - standing next to the horse - picks up a chainsaw. As he pulls the rope to start it, the camera cuts to the secretary in the outer office, who hears the chainsaw and her eyebrows climb all the way to her hairline!

 

[Mahagonny Bill]

Charlie Chaplin in "The Circus". Specifically the scene where he is on a tightrope, doing a striptease, crawling with monkeys. That right...on a tightrope...doing a striptease...with live monkeys crawling all over him.

I don't want to post the clip. It's surreal by itself, but makes sense in the context of the whole film. Anyone who has not see "The Circus" should put it at the top of their list.

[blacklagoon]

Laurel and Hardy,when they play sailors.They are put in a bowl and concrete is poured in,but instead of being dropped in the water,they just roll around screaming.

Walter Huston in "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre."

Carl La Fong!

I like when in the Bank Dick, WC is trying to pass along the sales pitch for getting the Beefsteak mine.

In the Man On the Flying Trapeez the entire Burgalars singing in the basement scene.

L&H delivering the piano in the Music Box.

 

[SamMarlowPI]

a whole bunch of scenes from It Happened One Night and The Thin Man series...

 

[ScionPI2005]

and The Thin Man...

Speaking of The Thin Man, the scene in (I think its the second Thin Man movie) where Nick is talking to Mrs. Charles' male relatives who are gathered around the dinner table after the meal snoring. Nick Charles keeps up a one-sided conversation until he is asked to join a conversation in the other room.
