Funniest scene

It's been decades since I've seen this. I don't remember very many laughs, really the only scene I remember is the sneeze in the helmet--worth the price of admission. Funny stuff!

It is so good to find other people who enjoyed it! I watched it five times in the Eighties, I think. There are really too many to list, but here are a few favourites:

(Lugubrious, slow voice over intercom) "Would all Section 7 personnel scheduled for decontamination please proceed to the Decontamination Unit in the Decontamination block for immediate decontamination."

Farmer: GET OFF MY LAND! (fires shotgun at Colonel Matterson.)
Colonel Matterson (calmly): Have that woman shot.
(Bang!)

M1 policeman (looking down from flyover at chaos on the road after the spaceship made its landing): We've got a bit of congestion here from junctions nine to...(he glances down and makes an experienced judgment)...say twenty-three.

Sandra: Graham? Gra-ay? Julian's got 'is finger stuck in the tap!

When Des takes charge of the podule and flies it away:
Sandra: Don't play with it, Des, you don't know how to work it! Desmond, put it back where it wa-as!

When the Morons are holed up in Graham's flat, and Graham's editor is trying to persuade Graham to let him in so that he can get an exclusive:
Editor: Didn't my own wife suckle you at her breast?
Graham: No she did not!
Editor: Would you like her to?

When Graham confronts the rioting crowd:
"These people have come millions of miles to see us, and how do we greet them? With rocks, and - and with avocados!" (And a voice in the crowd adds "'Ow much are avocados, anyway?")

When Des accidentally triggers the "dump rubbish" switch, and is showered with garbage, while a patronising female recorded voice says "Keep Space Tidy - Thank you! Keep Space Tidy - Thank you!"

Bernard's encounter with the bin has already been mentioned. Also after that, when he's picked up by the ambulance, at first lightly injured, but gets battered by careless handling on the way to the hospital. As they charge him through door after door, butting them open with his head, a nurse reads out his injuries, something like this: "Dislocated shoulder [CRASH!], severe bruising to the temples [CRASH!], possible concussion [CRASH!], loss of blood [CRASH], SOMEBODY GET A DOCTOR, WE'VE GOT A SICK MAN HERE!" And at that point they butt into another door which is locked, and Bernard is knocked off the trolley altogether.

When someone has been asking Julian about his planet, and we see the scientist reading back his words: "'It's bluey sort of greeny sort of all bright colours...covered in all wispy clouds...and all in all, a funny old place.' Is there nothing else you can tell us about your planet?"

After the crash, Julian asks after Des:
Sandra: I think he's dead.
Des (picking himself up): No...No, I'm not.
Sandra: Pity.

And am I the only one who noticed when the podule has crashed and Des picks himself up out of the wreckage, the screen behind him is showing the BBC Test Card?
