@@davidsenger4833 I read that Scott was angry at Kubrick when the film was released. He said that Kubrick told him, "George, show me some takes where you go over the top - wild stuff, crazy stuff. i'm not going to use it, but I want you to loosen up so you're relaxed when we shoot it for real." Then, Kubrick DID use Scott's 'over the top, crazy' takes. You see it when Scott is so excited he does a back roll and jumps up. Kubrick promised he wouldn't use those takes, but he did and it made Scott really mad. Personally, I love Scott's crazy antics.

The funniest moment I've ever seen was on the original Rosanne show; Rose discovers a quart carton of milk has gone bad... and puts it back in the fridge. Jackie goes to use it, reacts... and puts it back in the fridge. The running gag continues with the kids, with each reaction becoming more extreme... but the milk always gets put back. Finally, during the closing credits, Dan comes in the kitchen; with no one around, he decides to take a healthy gulp right from the carton. The ensuing 'death scene' is hilarious on its own. John Goodman forces blood into his face until it looks like it might explode, as he gasps and struggles, only to do a cartoonish pratfall onto the floor. There is a ten second pause.... suddenly, with every ounce of strength he can muster, he drags himself up to the table... and with his final effort before completely collapsing... puts the carton back into the fridge. Brilliant.

In several of these films, you've misread the humor entirely. In His Girl Friday, Cary Grant's Walter hasn't made a mistake at all, and isn't fixated on trying to impress the "wrong" Bruce. He is having a dig at his ex-wife by pretending that surely her fiance must be the little old man. It's all part of his friendly banter with her and his "forgetting" to hold the door for her and his little comments; this is how they interact, and she's used to it. You can see it in her expression the whole time that she knows he's doing this on purpose to rile her. And in Office Space, the humor lies not in the incongruity of the music with the scene, but in the fact that the music is absolutely in complete congruity with how the men see themselves in their heads. It's funny because the music reveals to us how they feel. The scene from the Dragon Tattoo that you try (and fail) to compare with it doesn't have the same setup at all -- the music may clash with the scene, but it does not serve as a window into the character's self-image.

Yeah. I felt like Fincher really wasn't going for humor or levity in that scene from Dragon Tattoo. It takes place at a point in the story where you're still reeling from the realization that Martin Vanger is a sadistic killer, and that Mikael Blomkvist is in an increasingly hopeless situation, and you're not sure if Lisbeth will get to the scene in time to save him. The cheery sounding music clashing with the hopeless situation is supposed to heighten the feeling of discomfort, and fear of the brutal murder you're certain is about to take place. It makes me think of that squirming feeling I get in my gut when I think about the prospect of watching actual footage of real people dying (yeah, I know. How silly of me to get uncomfortable with the idea of death. I just don't like seeing people get hurt for real.).

Didn't mean it like that man, I was trying to say how I thought it was sad and can't see anyone as finding it funny, in a "really nigga?", punch in the shoulder kinda way, you feel?. I've seen Gummo as well and I see what you mean, he definitely does combine disturbing and comedic but in my opinion, the scene with the no legs guy was communicating the Kids' naivety. Notice how Telly was just telling Casper about how he really wanted to fuck that disabled girl he saw, but when a disabled guy with no legs on a skateboard came past them, they both looked at him in shock and Casper even gave him a coin. Only good deed in the whole film came from the two boys being exposed to something they were completely naive to and a part of reality they hadn't yet experienced, because at the end of the day, they are still KIDS. This is also one of the very few times in the film where the camera pans away from the kids, as they are still learning and unaware of their sorroundings. Anywho, thats just my interpretation, just looked over it again and I can see that getting some easy laughs, sorry for my unintended arrogance earlier

I agree that this movie should have made the list for at least one of several scenes that were hilarious. How 'bout the scene where Danny Kaye is disguised as the old man with his daughter who can't talk and uses sign language? They're being interrogated by the "bad guys" and the 'daughter' is giving a long, drawn out answer via sign language and Danny Kaye gives the interpretation as, "No." "Why did it take her so long," the interrogator asks. "She stutters," came the explanation.

This channel and these videos in particular are more of film analysis so why are they so surprised/upset he analyzes these moments? By the way, this video was very fascinating and can't wait for more. Oh, I also recommend watching Every Frame a Painting, particularly his videos about Edgar Wright visual comedy, The Art of Buster Keaton and one about Jackie Chan to supplement this theme of comedy and funniest movie moments.

Thanks Daniel. Good to see you in the comments again. The Incongruity Theory actually does a really good job accounting for surprise - it suggests that comedy comes from a SUDDEN REALIZATION/COLLAPSE of incongruity, which... in your terms... is essentially surprise. We just failed to make that (obvious) connection. And you're totally right. Wasn't Clint on fire with this VO? I specifically told him that whatever secret sauce he's using to keep using it.

What I love about the glass scene in The Princess Bride is that it is constant reversals of superiority. He could have just picked the glass in front of Westley, but he also needs to feel superior. He switches the glasses because he thinks he'll make Westley feel superior but then be torn down by "dying" from the poison, where he starts laughing about being superior before he dies because he was wrong.
