Funniest moment ever?

one of the funniest moments ever...without a doubt.
matter of fact, i had just picked myself up off the floor after laughing myself silly during that scene. hbo ran an "extras" marathon, and that episode was later in the marathon. it was not the first time i'd seen the episode (or the scene), though. i do remember the first time i saw it: my knees buckled, and i hit the floor laughing then, too. when that water explodes from the bottle, and he has shove it into his mouth, while trying to look cool in front of her (l.o.l.)

"when Andy goes to hit on the woman and the bottle of fizzy water explodes so he stuffs it into his mouth to stop it from spilling. I almost died laughing."

Yeah, there were many moments I laughed out loud but THIS one just almost killed me. :)

Brilliant series all in all anyway.

The water bottle scene brought tears to my eyes. Incredible.

Nobody mentioned the part when he walks into his Agent's office and he's touching himself over the naked woman on the pen? lol.

i liked when chris martin was on and he did the "are we having a laugh" line for the first time. it was hilarious.

and when darren was flushing the poo and using a whisk to mash it. haha

and all of dan radcliffes scenes too

Oh, yea- The girdle exploding was hilarious!!!

My theory is that he's not just doing comedy. He's acting. :)

The latter is actually performing the role of a character. One of the things that makes Basil Fawlty funny is that he has absolutely no idea how funny he is. He takes himself seriously. That's because John Cleese is acting.

"Doing comedy", OTOH, is just telling jokes and pulling funny faces, and perhaps wearing funny wigs and using stupid catchphrases like: "Are you havin a laff? Is he havin a laff?"

I loved any scene with "Barry from Eastenders" and Steve Merchant. They are hilarious together. I particularly loved the scene in the CarPhone store when they sold the girl a phone and they were dancing to the tones of the phone. So funny.

They just started playing this show in Canada, so I haven't seen many of the eps mentioned here, but for me, the most eye-wateringly hilarious moment i've seen was when Kate Winslet was cupping her breast and miming phone sex behind the pervy boyfriend's back. The whole "my husband's going to be cleaning out my cellar and i'll be polishing his oscar." was just screamingly funny. I laugh whenever I think of it. Patrick Stewart's movie idea was also just too funny... and "you're single, no girlfriend.. and you've never watched star trek? good lord." LOL

Yeah, that was an awesome bit. The look on Andy's face as soon as she says his father is still alive. You could see that he was already well ahead of the group on the faulty math. His shattered response to her was so perfect. Painfully brilliant!
