I gotta roll with busymom on this one.
Blazing Saddles is horribly, horribly crass and politically incorrect on every.single.level. - - and totally of the charts funny. It would NEVER be made by today's standards. Can you post that in authentic frontier gibberish? No, but I kin tell ya where da white wimmen are at . . . .

That movie was made to offend EVERYONE. White, Black, Irish, Women, everybody! I'm embarrassed to say I laugh when MONGO slaps down that horse. Can you imagine the fit the animal rights organizations would have if they tried to film that today? (Yes, that horse was trained to fall down at just the right time...)

Went looking for something funny and thought this qualified.

The scene in Dragnet when Tom Hanks and Dan Akroyd are driving to the air port and Hanks is singing Christmas carols in terror.

Love love love that movie. It's probably not the funniest scene, but when he shouts "STOP BREAKING THE LAW, ASSHOLE!" I lose it, because I want to yell that at work every.single.day.

I'd have to say Goldie Hawn in Private Benjamin. That was hilarious! www.quotes.net/movies/9064 Too many to pick. I don't know if it was the funniest or the most shocking (back in the day) but the Longest Yard with Burt Reynolds with "I think he broke his fucking neck!" scene was really hilarious to us. They redid it with Sandler but I didn't watch that one.

I have to agree with Blazing Saddles ....... Absolutely ir-reverent, non-political correctness, totally off the wall funny.
Love Lily's saloon song.

I"m a big fan of the Robin Hood Men in Tights fight scene in the castle.... Blinkin goes after the post with a greatsword. But basically everything Mel Brooks has touched is Comedy gold. "A black SHERIFF " 'It worked in Blazing Saddles' *Nods of agreement*

I love a scene in the not PG-13 movie Orgazmo, where the main character asks for a sign whether he should act in a porno or not.

Monty Python's Black Knight: Come back and fight, you coward! Or the plague scene: I'm not dead yet!
The Office: gutting fish on the TSP reports.
Fried Green Tomatoes: Ramming the young women's car 5 times after they parked it in the space she was signaling for. "Face it, honey, I'm older than you and have better insurance."
The Hangover, when they wakes up in Vegas and discover the rooster stalking around, and the Mike Dyson's tiger in the bathroom, and missing teeth, and finally a baby in the closet.

We saw 'Young Dr. Frankenstein' last night on stage and it was typical Mel Brooks. Between each laugh we had to stay quiet to catch the next laugh.
I agree with 'Robin Hood, Men in Tights' also. Hilarious.
The only Mel Brooks thing I got very tired of was 'History of the World'.

I love lots of corny/funny movies... top secret, police squad, etc.
My most recent was "Kingsman". There are several hilarious and WHAT!!!!??!?! scenes, but i'd put the church scene and the closing scene with the princess down as shocking and funny. Not the closing scene for us, but when Eggsy was first going to rescue her and got interrupted and she wanted him to come back. My DH said, "WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY"? so loudly in the theatre, I told him he'd heard her correctly and we cracked up! Good thing it was mostly empty, but my gosh that was so funny...
blazing Saddles fan here, but not the TBS version, it has to be with the original off-color jokes.

I can't pick just one.
Bill Murray's "Old Yeller" speech in "stripes". John Belushi's "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" speech in "Animal House". Also loved the credits at the end where they showed what happened to them all after graduation. Cleavon Little's fake hostage scene in "Blazing Saddles". Credits there, ending in a Busby Berkeley- type musical, also hilarious.
