Funniest scene i've ever seen on tv...


it came from this show. the episdoe where the kid takes his first steps. the dad had taped it, but it happened in a casino, where he wasn't supposed to be. he edits it so it appears that it happened in a park, only the kid ends up walking right off land unto water as the husband is showin the tape to his wife. i was literally on the floor gasping for air while watching this scene!

reply

Yeah, that was the scene that pretty much made the pilot successful enough for it to go to a series. Definitely one of the funniest moments I've ever seen.

reply

It was hilarious, yeah. But my favorite is the whole scene where Jimmy tries to be an umpire. As a baseball fan, I haven't laughed harder in years.

reply

That was probably my favorite part of the series as well. When Jimmy points at the 2nd base ump who yells back "What? You've got to be kidding me" I nearly lost it all.

reply

I think one of the funniest scenes of the series was the "Blue's Clues" segment. That's the one where Greg has watched the video with Sammy so many times that he dreams of being in the video himself. Classic.

reply

I like the one with Tim Conway and he flies the rc plane into his junk. I laughed for ten minutes.

reply

best scene was when everyone visited Don and Jenny, and Jenny was looking for placemats. Jimmy mistook Jenny for Christine and began rubbing her backside, saying, "how did such a sweet, sweet ass come out of such an evil woman?" Don kept snickering; Jenny stood up, livid, and Jimmy was speechless. I was in tears.

I think my Favorite Episode and the funniest in my opinion ,, i can't find the name but,,anyways.

They thing Sammy may have problems in school or something and each of the parents including Jimmy and Christine think about the time they may have caused brain damage to him because of hitting him on the head at some point or another. Even the Doctor who hands Sammy a sucker and Sammy says its the wrong color and the doctor thinks back to where he had hit him on the head with the MRI machine.

But in the End was my favorite part Jimmy and Christine come in with a Washing Machine and a blender,, and Greg and Kim ask whats that? Jimmy's like,, oh we decided that we want to replace everything we broke of yous,, Sammy comes and sits up on top of the washing machine Jimmy exits and comes back with a lookalike Sammy sets him up next to the other and take the Popsicle from Sammy that was already there and gives it to the new Sammy and goes,, "Okay we're good"

I was laughing my head off.

I think I have a tie for 2 funniest moments in this episode. Ironically, it has to do with both their dads. First one being when Greg's dad (tim conway) gets into it with gray davis at the lakers game. You don't seriously chase someone like that at an nba game! Haha. 2nd, was when the guys went to vegas, and the misadventures that faced Jimmy's dad, (jerry van dyke) I seem to remember him getting ungodly sunburned, and then beat up by some monkeys?!? Haha.

reply

Actually, mrham1, both those incidents happened to Greg's dad. It was Tim Conway that got unGodly sunburned, and beaten up by all those monkeys.

I loved "The Usual Suspects" reference when both couples went to a therapist, and Greg told the story about him at camp, using objects in the office to name people and places.

reply

The two episodes that me me laugh for 10 minutes were when Tim Conway got beaten up by the monkeys and when Christine beats up Jimmy in the boxing ring. When lands that last punch and Jimmy drops like a ton of bricks I just lost it.

reply

That's probably my favorite scene in the series. It shows just how evil Greg really is LOL

reply

I LMAOed at that....found out it was a real video and HAD to buy the male and female versions. (The pottytraining video)

reply

the toilet training video is classic..but i love the episode where they all flash back to whenever they think they were responsible for Sammys's mental problem by smacking his head really hard..i think the one with Greg was the funniest, he's in the kitchen and hits Sammys head on the counter or something, the look on his face priceless

reply

Like another poster said my favorite is when Jimmy is an umpire. There's a close play at the plate and Jimmy asks the 2nd base umpire to make the call, I never laughed so hard.

I have 2 favs. The first is the episode where Jimmy and Christine meet the Swinger couple at the park but don't know it until Greg and Kim weasel their way into hanging out with them too. Then, when Christine finds out what the couple is really in to, she pushes them off on Greg and Kim... PRICELESS.

The second is the Wild Goose Chase when Christine realizes Jimmy isn't listening to her on the phone and pyschs him out by getting him to agree to do something but he doesn't know what. So he and Greg spend all day trying to figure out what it is.

reply

Best episode is the flashback where Kim and Greg are in college visiting Jimmy and Christine and Greg stands up for Kim's honor when Jimmy's friend Bryan keeps calling her a slut. Each time Greg says "take it back" and when Bryan refuses Chicago's "Fight for your honor" comes on and Greg tries to attack Bryan, each time getting more and more beat up. I lose it every time I see it.

reply

Haha!

I JUST watched that episode the other day, and everytime the music came on, and he looked up into the ceiling, I just lost it.

reply

for me it's a tie too!

My first favorite scene is from the end of the episode when they let Sammy finally do things on his own. It's when there's a spider on the table and when Greg goes to kill it it goes to slow motion with "i believe I can fly" playing. Just him reacting to the spider being on him in slow motion and then just running out of the room is hilarious!!

My other favorite scene is from the episode where Greg's trying to find a new hobby for his dad. When he's trying models out on him and it cuts to his dad with the model car glued to his forhead and then Greg turning to Jimmy and seeing he accidently did the same thing and saying "look at that", I just laugh so hard very time I see that scene!!!!

reply

I think the one where Sammy walks in the park, and on water was funny, the Halloween episode, The one with the Squirrel where Greg is Kenny Rogers, the one where they think Sammy has a mental problem, especially when Jimmy ran through the doorway and hit Sammy's head on it, the one where they go to the Grand Canyon, the one where Greg eats the Cavior and starts coughing and Kim has to give him a shot, the one where that guy Brian beats Greg up for not taking back about what he said about Kim, and a few more. I haven't seen them all, but those were funny.

reply

the spider part was funny, but when sammy got his straw but forgot the napkins and greg goes to get them and slips on his ass....I laughed so f'ing hard at that.

reply

The BEST scene of the whole series is when Greg goes to work early on casual Friday wearing his aqua Izod shirt and walks around the studio like he's on a catwalk. With "I'm Too Sexy" playing. I die every time!!

Or when he's roller skating down the street and doing tricks at the end of one of the episodes. The one where Kim won't let him go to the Final Four I think?

I can't get enough of this show.

reply

that def did have me rotf

my fav is when each of the 4 have flash backs about having their babies. the difference between what Kim and Greg remember is so ridiculous! its something like

Kim: "by the power of Satan I curse you to eternal damnation in the 7th circle of HEELLLLLL"

Greg: "and breathe"

then the water breaks and shoots him against the wall...LMAO

Abraham Lincoln once said, "If you are a racist, I will attack you with the North"

reply

This Whole Series Makes Me Cry Laughing, But One Of The Most Hilarious Moments To Me Was After Jimmy And Christine Move Out Of The Guest House To The House Next Door, Jimmy Wants To Chop Down Greg's Lemon Tree, So He Can Play Horseshoes. Greg Explains That He Picks A Lemon Everyday For His Morning Tea, Then Proceeds To Jump Out Of His Window Onto The Tree And Stays There When Jimmy Starts The Chainsaw... Then, To Make It Even More Funny, When Greg's Not In The Tree, He Gets Christine To Sit In The Tree In His Place... Absolutely Hilarious!!!

A few scenes come to mind:

Where Billy is working in the bathroom and Kim comes upstairs with Sammy and says something like, "mommy's really gotta go poopie, Sammy. She really has to go" then opens the door and Billy is there.

Several episodes where Greg is imagining what could have been with a series of different people, riding a scooter thru the house, playing that game with the strings, baking cookies, etc. While playing in the background is "Hard Habit to Break."

The baby fight club scene.

Here is the first steps scene from the Pilot :)

Would've been even funnier if someone in a canoe paddled by!
