Funniest bit of the film?


I'd say it was one of 3 moments....

1. Where Vinny punches JT and takes the money he's owed

2. When Vinny can't get to sleep cos of all the stuff that's happening outside (such as the owl and him going "Wtf was that?!?")

3. When the judge says to Vinny "What did i tell you about the strictdress code we have here?" (or something like that) and he replies with "what, you were f***ing serious?", then it cuts to him going back to jail... XD

I watched this for like the 10th time last night. Nothing else was on and I always liked this movie. I know this line was used to death especially in the trailer for the film, but it still cracks me up even though I know it's coming. ; ).

"The two what? Did you say yutes? What's a yute"?

"Oh, excuse me; the two youthhhhhes."

I also loved the look on Vinny's face during this dialogue:

Bill: "But Vinny, you graduated from law school six years ago. What have you been doing?"

Vinny: "Studying........for the bar."


The way he said it as-a-matter-of factly, keeping his jaw openend upon saying "bar", the way he looked at Bill giving him the feeling that that was a real stupid question to ask. Of course he studied for the bar, what the hell did he think he was doing all the time? Bum around?

"Hey, Ma. We're in prison...Ma! We didn't do it....Murder. Ma! Ma!..."

The part when Stan meets Vinny in jail.

The deer bit.

The owl.

The stuttering public defender.

"Explain that...outfit."

The ambulances will just have to wait their turn...

Soooo many funny scenes in this film....

Some of my favorites are:

Biological Clock Scene and Vinny's response
Two Yutes
About to Go Hunting....Imagine you're a deer
Vinny's excuse to the Judge when he shows up wearing a bell boy outfit
Vinny and Stan in the cell together
All those scenes when vinny is woken up by the noises
and sooo many more....lol

I love the stuttering part at the opening of the trial. Members of the jujujujujujujujuju JURY... I love it.

Such a classic film...some of the most funny parts deal with simply the way the actors spoke the lines- for example, the part near the end after the sheriff goes on the stand and every1 knows the case is over cause they're innocent- the judge hilariously questions the DA, "Mr... Trotterr??"
Another funny part to me is when Trotter is giving the opening statement, he says "the word verdict, comes down from England, and all our little old ancestors" then it cuts to an African-American member of the jury and her facial expression is great.
So many little parts like that make this movie so great.

Okay, I'm reading your favorite lines...and I am dying laughing right now! I agree with you smgfan26, it's the delivery of these classic lines that is so damned hilarious. Oh, and I too love that wonderful "verdict" shot of the juror. I just got the DVD for my birthday. It's my favorite comedy of all time. Here's another funny bit that I haven't seen mentioned yet: When William and Stan meet with Vinny in the jail and they interview him about his law background and find out that he has never tried a murder, in fact has never been in a courtroom, and has only done personal injury cases over the past six weeks. William says, "But Vinny, you graduated from law school six years ago. What have you been doing?" and Vinny replies, "Studying...for the bar." and Stan says, "That's a lot of studying." and Vinny says that he has to be honest, that he did not pass on his first try. Stan says, "that's okay, you probably passed on your second try" and Vinny says no. Then, "three times a charm?" and Vinny says, "Not for me it wasn't. No, for me, SIX times was the charm." The looks on the faces of the two youts cracks me up every time.

This has probably already been said, but:

Vinny: "Your honor, I request permission to treat Ms. Vito as a hostile witness."

Mona Lisa: "You think I'm hostile now, wait until you see me tonight."

Judge: "Do you two know each other?"

Vinny: "Yeah, she's my fiance."

Judge: "Well, then that would explain the hostility."

There are just too many to mention them all. This movie is priceless.

But for me; Austin Pendleton stole the show with an incredible performance as John Gibbons, the public defender.

"But they didn't kill anyone ... he, he ...(heavy sigh)"

The best part was when he cockily waved to the judge after giving that abysmal opening statement.

Gibbons: "I get a little nervous."
Stan: "A little nervous?!"
Gibbons: (annoyed voice) "But I'm getting better!"

Let's not forget questioning Tipton.

"Well now, Mr Ttttttttt .. Ah, Tipton!"

Gibbons: "How far away were you?"
Tipton: "About 50ft."
Gibbons: "Well now is that close enough to make a positive i .. i ..i .. identification?
Tipton: Yes.

I loved the look on his face when Tipton answered 'yes'

Another vote for the first meeting between Vinnie and Stan in the jail cell. Vinnie's trying to be friendly, and Stan thinks he's going to be a prison bitch.

Awesome movie with many classic scenes.

Here is one of my favorites:

Vinny: Holy *beep* you did it honey, the case cracker. Me in the shower!

reply

Couple of hilarious lines that people missed or skirted right around:

"I wore dis....ridiculous ding.....for you"

Vinny (when he finishes with a witness): "I have no more use for dis guy!"
