That's so fonny...

OK, I'm lauhging at the lyrics in the Looney Tunes thread, and I posted something at Frederator's blogs about Chuck Jones' autobiography and his cartoons, and I gotta ask...

in a similar vein as the Looney Tunes thread...

What's the funniest things you've ever seen, heard or read? TRY and get some animation or animation-related things in there, but I'll let you color outside the lines a little bit. Try to be specific. Don't just say "The AIRPLANE Movie." Which part?

Here I go:
1) Duck Amuck. A cartoon gets increasingly tormented by its creator.

2) Chuck Jones' story in his autobiography "Chuck Amuck" where he talks about his Uncle Lynn ("Unclynn") and his magnificent, unstoppable liver.

3) Tim Conway on the Carol Burnett Show, during a sketch of "Mama's Family," where he described two Siamese elephants joined at the trunk, and when one sneezed, the other's eyes WOULD GET REAL BIG.

4) Calvin and Hobbes, with the three snowmen checking out the fourth that has just been hit by a car.

5) Snoopy pretending to be a vulture.

6) Daffy Duck to Bugs and Elmer: "Aha! Pronoun trouble!" and "He does not have to shoot me now. He can wait 'til we get home."

7) Yosemite Sam at a drawbridge: "Open that drawbridge! *wham* Close it! Close it! Close it back up again! CLOOOOSE ITTTT!"

8) Pretty much all of "Top Secret," but since I said you couldn't do that... the "I know a little German... he's over there!" part.

9) The finale of "Blazing Saddles," which is basically just a live-action cartoon, anyway. "Not in the face!"

10) I wanted to put a classic comedian here, like Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, Robin Williams, George Carlin or Steven Wright... just to have something here, I'll say Eddie Murphy's "Mr. T." skit about scrunchin' up yer butt-cheeks.

I call them my peeyerpants moments.
They have to be genuine uncontrollable laughter. (no particular order)
1) I think it was Marx Bros. Coconuts where they all dress up like Groucho at night and Harpo and Groucho end up doing the mirror routine. I was 10 when I frst saw that and I was slayed.
2) Jerry Lewis in The Patsy. He's taking singing lessons from Hans Conried for some reason and is supposed to repeat the scale. The piano lid falls on Conried's hand and Lewis keeps repeating his painful wails.Saw this part about a million years ago; that's all I can remember.
3)Peter Sellers in The Party where he has to go pee and is trapped between Claudine Longet and a waterfall.
4) I think it's the Pink Panther movie where there's a chase scene from a costume party and a drunk is onlooking.
5) The intro and first sequence from Corny Concerto. Agian, I was like 10 when I first saw that and killed me. It would be 15 years before I would see again.
6) I'm not a Ren and Stimpy Fan but the Door-to-Door Rubber Nipple salesmen ep. I saw that at work and thought they'd have to put a straight jacket on me.
7) An old Hal Roach Laurel and Hardy pie Fight where the whole street erupts in a riot of everyone pulling down everyone else's pants. L & H walk off in one pair of pants.
8) A recent ep of Gags ( a candid camera like show with no dialogue). A cop pulls someone over to share how his girl broke up with him and winds up crying on their shoulder. The actor who was the cop was priceless. Of course becasue he's a cop and these are nice Canadian people, they never tell him where to go.

I've recently read a little story on a website called postsecrets.com , which I shall paraphrase here:

"On the floor of the bathroom where I work, there is an old crushed Skittle...and every time I go pee, I am tempted to eat it."

I don't know why I think this hilarious. But I do.

That is all!

Oh, was that on "Just For Laughs"? They have some neat ideas! I really liked the clips with the elderly nun out of whose bible drop porn pics unsuspecting people picked up. Or the pinata they set up in that mall to leave participating passers-by standing around around alone and blindfolded, whacking thin air.
