Funniest scene? place your nominee


First, brilliant funny movie!

I would like to nominate 2 scenes both with Andy Nyman as Howard.

- The first is the scene where he walks trough the room towards the coffin with that huge fake grin on his face.
- The second scene is the look on his face when the coffin makes a ticking sound during the speech of Daniel.

Place your nominee!

When Martha explains to Justin how intelligent and stable his upcoming husband is. Right after that, Simon is pulling ejaculated spit back in his mouth and laughs without any clothes on. That was one of the funniest ones ^^.

yeah I almost laughed myself crippled with that one!

I can't get over the expression on Peter's face while he listens to them discussing how many pills he has just been force-fed.

I love the scene of him jumping on the couch.

I love the scene where neurotic Howard is asked about his rash by the guy who has been totally left out of the real action (his name slips my mind, but he was the jerk) and Howard replies calmly that he had forgotten all about that when he got Uncle Alfie's sh*t in his mouth, and then gets up and walks calmly away leaving whatsisface's mind absolutely boggling. Howard has come a long way in a very short time, and will never be the same man again.


Justin... was his name

Alan Tudyk sitting in the bathroom unspooling toilet paper: "Keep coming, join the others..." until it ends and he makes this hilarious noise of dissappointment. I almost cried from laughing at that one.

Ditto, as well as him walking through the grounds with the shrubbery.

Best part goes something like this:
He has these pictures.
Uh-huh.
Of him.
Yeah.
Of him and Dad.
Ok, yeah.
Of him and Dad at parties and riding the bus-For God's sake he was shagging Dad!
...Flock off!

I loved this scene!

I absolutely crack up at Alan Tudyk's various antics..

I love the scene of him with his head stuck in the hedge, just as the guests are arriving for the funeral. Talking to the lawn ornament, touching the feathers on the grieving widow's hat. Walking, then stopping as if with intent, and then walking again with no reason.

Uncle Alfie on acid ; "everything's so f^$%ing green!"

Yes!! Two votes there!

I was laughing hysterically almost throughout the whole movie, but the highlights were Matthew Macfadyen's expressive eyebrows (seriously his eyebrows should've won an oscar for this movie) and Andy Nyman's scenes (especially the one OP mentions.) Generally, I think the whole cast did a fine job; this movie was hilarious.

When Simon, Alan Tudyk's character, was locked in the bathroom and Martha kept calling "Simon" and he responded by repeating "Simon" every time. Then she just called "Si" and he quietly replied "men." I don't know what it was that made me laugh out loud at that scene but it really stuck with me.

When Peter Dinklage jumps out of the coffin with his crazy eyes drugged out of his mind.
Or when Simon was talking and petting the widow's hat feathers, seriously even though the movie has a great cast I think Alan Tudyk takes the prize for the funniest. I just love Alan Tudyk!

Simon up on the roof and out in the back yard. He's a crack-up and delivers a neat English accent as well.

reply

To me Alan WAS the prize of this movie!!
