The backwards scene in Top Secret might not necessarily be the funniest ever (though still pretty funny), but it certainly deserves a nomination for its creativity

I'm rather fond of the driving scene at the start of Alpha Papa, because it totally encapsulates the Partridge character, whether you've seen him before or not, largely through the medium of mime.

What am I, a schmuck on wheels? Gimme the fuck money, AAaaarrrr

what's the visual though?

Him being throttled and his wig coming off at 1.06. After all the "Morrie's wigs don't come off" claims.

Then he answers the phone as he is being strangled.

The brilliant dialogue kind of overshadows all of that

 

[UrbaneFox]

"Fuck him in the ear. Fuck him in the other ear". Jimmy Conway advances...

Reminds me I was going to post this Chaplin scene from Pay Day

I watched the 1966 film Batman, The Movie at the weekend, this scene of Batman trying to dispose of a bomb cracked me up.

 

[SpookyFrank]

David Duchovny and Michael McKean did this pretty much beat-for-beat in the superb Dreamland X-files episode...

 

[Indeliblelink]

Max Linder & Charley Chase had both done the gag in films before the Marx Brothers perfected it.

It even predates film and was done on stage long before.
