Comedy in scenarios which really shouldn't be funny...

The bit in Boyz In Da Hood, where Trey & Ricky meet the self hating black policeman. Whenever I watch i can't help remembering the spoof of it that Bernie Mac does in Don't be a menace to south central while drinking yo juice in da hood. Boyz in Da Hood in spite of its overt preachiness is at times actually a very moving film, except that scene.

The Elf bits in Lord of the Rings. Why are they speaking so slowly? That's rubbish.

Anything in Drag me To Hell that is meant to be scary. In fact its hiarious and the "funny" bits are just cringingly bad.

Specifically, comedy in scenarios which really shouldn't be funny. Does anyone else have these moments? And I'm not talking of the 'so bad its good' variety. I realised last year that I make a horrible companion to horror films because I often laugh at the scenes of extreme pain and torture. I was the one person in the screening of Antichrist absolutely howling with laughter at all the grotty happenings, they were just so goddamn funny.

Please.... tell me I'm not the only one.

I'm definately one of those people! Funny that you mentioned Antichrist because I literally couldn't hold in the laughter during the erm, 'grotty happenings'. I did also almost piss myself when the fox turned round and said, "chaos reigns" or whatever. That killed me!

In an otherwise serious and moving film, I found myself laughing with tears at the end of "Schindler's List", when they give Liam Neeson that ring and he starts crying and saying that he should have sold his car and his suit or whatever, to save more people. It was maybe also a little bit of a hysterical laugh, because of the stress of watching the movie, but I still think they exaggerated in that scene. It was uninspired, and too long.

Oh man, too many.

Assembly - when one of the troops is about to throw a molotov but it engulfs him instead.

The Wrath Of Khan - Kirk's infamous scream. He's so pissed he echoes in space, y'know?! hahahahahaa

The scene where Edward Cullen is seriously telling Bella that he can't see her anymore, it's supposed to be a solemn moment where a couple who are in love are breaking up.
Of course the whole 'serious' note of the scene is over ruled by "i don't want you to come bella" "but i want to come" "i dont want you to" "you...dont...want me to come?" "no."

HAHAHAHAH.

When Anthony Hopkins and the kid start crying together in Shadowlands after the death of whatshername. I wet'em.

the bit in seven pounds where will smith says he's going to "clean the beast." not sure they'd even got jiggy at that point.

When Jack dies in "Titanic"! It was probably made even more funny seeing in a theater with everyone sobbing loudly around me, so I couldn't contain myself and had to start laughing hysterically.
