Laughing lifts our spirits and improves our moods, and relieves stress.
It has been said laughter is the best medicine, plus it can also help improve our life as well.
I think making people laugh so hard is actually a difficult skill. More than the words themselves, people laugh from one’s expression, how they tell the story, how they act naturally while telling the story.
I‘m more like easy to laugh at any kind of thing which is more natural.
Because when I feel a person is trying to make me laugh, it often doesn’t work for me. Laughing taste may be different depending on the person.
Which films made you laugh from the bottom of your heart ?
Here are my top 10 funniest films,
1. Money pit
This is an old movie (1986) but it’s still unbeatable. Not only I couldn’t stop laughing but I got stomachaches, could not breathe from laughing too hard, and rolling on the floor with laughter.
There are so many funny scenes in this movie. One of the funniest scenes was where Tom Hanks got stuck in the carpet under the floor,
(Money Pit Floor scene) only his face was still showing above the floor, and he couldn’t move at all.
His expression was priceless. There are more funny scenes.
Like in the kitchen, while he was waiting for the turkey and other foods baking in the oven, suddenly there was an electric spark,
so he starts looking to find the source of the issue, but as he’s checking, the electric short circuit just keeps getting worse and worse and he ends up blowing up the whole kitchen,
and the turkey which was in the oven at the time, goes flying out the window from the explosion and ends up flying into the bathroom where his wife was , and the turkey flies into a baket there !!!
2. Bruce almighty ( Jim Carey, Jennifer Aniston, Morgan Freeman, Steve Carrey )
This story is one of my favorites. The funniest scene was when Jim Carey used his magic power against his rival, a news announcer played by Steve Carrey, who had taken his position as main newsman, and Jim Carey changed Steve’s voice and talking by using his magic, and the way Steve talked made me laugh like a crazy.
Also, the scene when Jim Carey first realizes he has god like powers, and is in a restaurant eating tomato soup, he starts testing his powers and he makes his bowl of tomato soup part in the middle with waves on either side, like a miniature version of the movie “ The Ten Commandments “. This scene cracked me up so hard.
There’s another scene where he imitates Clint Eastwood’s facial expressions, it’s pretty hilarious as well.
3. Funny farm ( Chevy Chase )
This movie also has many funny scenes . After a happy couple moves to a new place, everything seems to be going from worse to worse. And the way how they made the movie and the actors expressions were so funny.
Such as the part where the movers who were moving all the couple’s stuff , get lost for a whole day and get stuck with their truck on an old rickety bridge, in the middle of nowhere .The bridge ends up falling apart while the movers barely escape with their lives.
Another scene while the husband was peacefully typing his book in the second floor of the house, next to the window , the camera pans out so you can see out the window, and you see his wife who was gardening, starts getting chased around a tree by a bumblebee, batting her arms like crazy to escape the bumblebee, then the camera pans back to Chevy Chase‘s face, peacefully writing, blissfully unaware of what’s going on outside. So many funny scenes.
4. Duplex ( Ben Stiller, Drew Barrymore )
This movie also has many hilarious scenes. Like the one where Ben Stiller tries to be nice by taking his neighbor, an elderly lady, out shopping and for medicine supplies.
Ben ends up getting annoyed as hell because the old lady turns out to be a real pain in the @/&% .
She’s counting her medicine that she orders at the pharmacy, slowly, pill by pill, then she loses count, and starts counting all over again, while Ben tries to be patient waiting, the look of frustration and utter irritation on his face just absolutely hilarious.
Then when they arrive at the supermarket, the old lady sees a huge pile of grapes, and she starts counting again, counting the number of grapes that she wants, the same way, slowly, as with the pills. , and Ben’s irritation reached his limit and finally, Ben is so irritated that he grabs the plastic bag from her and starts doing it himself, grabbing bunches of grapes as fast as he can to put in the cart.
But when he finishes with the grapes, she finds another food item she wants to count
and exclaims
“ Oh, Blueberries ! “.
The camera then goes back to a close up of Ben with a completely dejected look on his face. This scene totally cracked me up.
There are many more.
5. Las Vegas Vacation ( Chevy Chase )
This movie made me laugh from the very beginning, the husband’s blissfully unaware and ridiculous driving which made other cars have accidents or troubles while he didn’t notice anything because he is too happy to think about the vacation he just got and he’s singing.
This movie just gets funnier from there and doesn’t let up.
6. Envy ( Ben Stiller and Jack Black )
This is another one of my favorite stories. Ben Stiller’s acting and his expression cracked me up !
In the beginning, Ben Stiller is in a good position in the car tire company and above Jack Black in the company and he starts teaching Jack Black that if he want to have better life, and get better position in the company same as him, he had better to “focus” better and he lets Jack Black sit in his more comfortable chair in his comfortable office which is higher quality than Jack Black’s. office and chair.
Jack Black starts sleeping while hearing Ben Stiller’s lecture and only hears the one word “ focus “ and he suddenly stands up and says “ Right, focus is the word ! “ and he starts focusing.
But his focus is on much bigger dreams than Ben Stillers comfortable chair and office. No, that‘s not enough, Jack focuses to be a multi-millionaire. Soon, things change , and with the help of a scientist friend, Jack discovers a hilarious way to make dog poo disappear.
A doggie poo spray, and he gets huge success marketing this product, starts living in a huge dream house ( right across the street from Ben Stiller‘s small house ), buys a bright yellow Lamborghini Diablo, gets a white horse, and Ben Stiller’s facial expression everyday when he looks out the window to see Jack’s latest outrageous buying sprees and purchases, is so hilarious.
He has to see his neighbor Jack Black’s family’s wealthy life every day .
One of the funniest scenes was when Ben Stiller and a guy who he meets in a bar while drinking and carrying on about his unsuccessful life, end up accidentally killing Jack’s beloved horse and having to carry the dead horse on top of their car to try and hide it somewhere ( it’s a long story, and I won’t go into this part here, but it’s funny when you see it ).
In the end, all’s well that ends well and both Jack and Ben get huge success. I do really love this kind of success story.
7. Young Frankenstein ( Gene Wilder, Teri Garr)
Director Mel Brooks made several funny movies, and this is one of them. It’s a spoof on the old Frankenstein story, and it’s absolutely side splitting hilarious, from beginning to end.
It’s also very well made, the setting, the castle, and everything is genuinely spooky. And the funny situations the actors find themselves in, and the humor, never stops. You have to see it, and expect to get stomachache from laughing so hard.
8. Shallow Hal ( Jack Black, Gwyneth Paltrow )
I love this story. After a psychologist / hypnotist ( played by Anthony Robbins ) hypnotizes Jack Black, his taste in women changes to opposite of his former self.
Originally, he was so picky and only likes beautiful women, but he sees everything opposite now and all the ugly women he now perceives as gorgeous.
From that point, he gets into all kinds of funny situations, especially after the hypnotism spell wears out.
9. The Terminal ( Tom Hanks, Catherine Zeta Jones )
Tom Hanks challenged to act as a Eastern European guy from a very small country who went to the New York, USA, and was stuck at the airport for 8 months, because he didn‘t have the proper visa to leave the airport.
And there are several scenes which made me laugh so hard while he was staying at the airport and handling many situations, and eventually finding and making many opportunities, and romance, and the best out of the situation.
An amazing actor.
10. Pop star on ice ( documentary of Johnny Weir’s skating life)
This is not a comedy story, but there are several scenes which made me laugh because of Johnny’s sense of humor and his natural expressions.
As I’ve been a fan of Johnny and seeing his career since 2006 Torino Olympics, and I was seriously heartbroken to see many of the results and scores he received and what happened, but in this film, the directors made it very well and some parts had a lot of humor including Johnny’s reaction and expression, etc.. in some parts were so funny.
TV series “Be good Johnny Weir “ is even more funny, especially Johnny as the Russian reporter.
___________________________________________________________________
There must be many funny movies which I’ve never seen, but these are the movies which cracked me up the best so far.
I found three of them are similar stories, a young marriage couple moved to a new place and having trouble after that. But they are all too funny in a different way.
Actually, trouble itself is nothing funny, but the way how they express and react to the trouble can be so funny.
It’s good if we don’t take trouble so seriously and could make humor with laugh, things may go well after the trouble, because laughing can change our moods and can boost our spirits up.
It has been said laughter is the best medicine, plus it can also help improve our life as well.
I think making people laugh so hard is actually a difficult skill. More than the words themselves, people laugh from one’s expression, how they tell the story, how they act naturally while telling the story.
