Most things on 3rd Rock are gut-busting.
There was one where Tommy was insisting that they call him Tom, and Mary comes over when the house is empty and says "Tom? Dick? Harry?" Then she just freezes and thinks for a second, realizing the joke for the first time. I fell off the couch laughing.
Also, many things that Chandler does on Friends are quite hilarious.
But the big numero uno for me is Xander quickly covering for why the gang is always in the library, and he says "Yes, to read makes our speaking English good." I have that quote on a t-shirt now.

The Simpsons Halloween special where Flanders becomes a zombie and Homer blows him away with a shotgun.
Bart: "Dad, you just blew away the Zombie Flanders!"
Homer (confused): "You mean Flanders was a zombie?"
What killed me in that scene was the whole idea that Homer didn't know - he just had always wanted some excuse to blow Flanders's head off!
Family Guy, Season One. The TV is on in the background, on Wheel of Fortune. All we can see of the puzzle is "GO _UCK YOURSELF". Turns out it's "Go tuck yourself in". :)
American Dad: The mom is working from home as a realtor, with Roger (the alien) helping out. Roger's chatting on the phone with Tammy, one of his female friends, when the mom jumps on him about getting back to work. Roger says into the phone, "Gotta go, Tams; the boss is being a real See You Next Tuesday..." I just simply could not believe they managed to get the "C"-word onto primetime network TV like that.
Chandler trying to get out of an awkward situation on Friends, jumping over the back of the couch with his backback, screaming, "Oh my God, this parachute is a knapsack!!"
And pretty much all of Arrested Development. And all of South Park, Season One.

Here are some of mine: though honestly I have a reaally low standard for hilarity...
Bruce Almighty: "eeerroooodddding"
Too many to list in Dragnet with Dan Akroyd and Tom Hanks.
Dumb and dumber: specifically when they cry about the phone commercial.
Josie and the Pussycats (with real people): "the walls are mooshy!"
JoY RiDe: "ya, we're fine...now that were not murdered..."
So I married and ax murderer: "they're e-vil. fru-its from the de-vil."
Family guy: The whole firetruck seen "the ambulances will have to wait their turn..." OMG!
When he was tryin' to think up a fake name, looks around the room, spots a pea "pe-." He looks again to find a tear in someone's eye "-tear." Then he looks around once more and a giant griffen busts through the window and starts attacking some guy sitting in the restaurant. "Griffen...oh dammit."
When he hurts his knee and spends two minutes going "ahhh....ooooo....ahhh" they did that later again for a shorter amount of time in the A-Team ep.
Ya, there are a lot...this was fun...now i'm more happy. yay!

Okay I just have to throw a few in here.
Big Trouble in Little China - When that eyeball creature appears, Jack's response is gold, "Oh God what is that, don't tell me!"
Family Guy - Peter having a flashback to the whole family being held captive and tortured in a dungeon. While he is being whipped "If anyone sees the dungeon master can they tell him his grandmother was just down here trying to work me over." Taunting a guy while your family is in peril...priceless!
Almost anything with Chris Farley. Two in particular from Black Sheep. When he pulls the bucket out of the well and sees it is filled with snakes. Proceeds to freak out and run like hell while exclaiming "It looked at me!" The
other moment is when there is a bat in the cabin and he realizes it has attached itself to his back. No dialogue but the expression on his face is perfect.

Probably in that new movie The Benchwarmers. There is a part where some fan in the stadium at one of the baseball games says "I want a little man too." The guy sitting next to him picks up a miget from off screen says, "here ya go," and puts him on his lap.
It was so funny I just couldn't stop laughing. People were looking at me cause I was the only person in the theatre laughing.

Ah, I forgot to mention:
Much of The Princess Bride
All of Big Trouble (the Tim Allen movie)
And the Dungeons and Dragons movie, 'cause seriously, how can you not watch that and laugh at every single part? Every horrible, horrible part.
Also, any Zucker Brothers movie. Loooove them. (Stop calling me Shirly!)

Wow!
Everyone's got some really good ones! Funny, because I'm reading the list and thinking, "Oh, yea! I remember that! That was funny!"
No, the funniest thing I've ever seen on tv, and god help me I'm not sure why, was an episode of the Howie Mandel show. Mel Gibson was his guest, and I don't know what set them off - I don't know what the heck they were even trying to talk about - but they were both so funny that they couldn't stop laughing!
And it was that infectious laughter that once it starts it doesn't stop? And the whole audience was laughing! Mel would get half a word out and start laughing again! Howie would manage like three syllables and that would set them off.
It was hysterical.
And I don't even know WHY!! What were they even saying? Hell if I know! Why was it funny? Heck if I know! But I laughed so hard that I almost cracked. I'm laughing now just remembering it!

Dood. Great call on BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA. An absolute favourite of mine. I love the whole supposed hero speech he gives when they are preparing to go in:
"So ok you stay here, hold the fort keep the homefires burning... If we're not back by dawn... Call the president!"
However I forgot one that perhaps falls into my favourite! For many reasons, but mainly because I always loved John Candy. He came across as the loveliest man on earth and he entertained me no end when I was a kid growing up watching all his films. I kinda liked him when he was at his goofiest and putting his foot in his mouth but no better than in UNCLE BUCK when:
[at a meeting with the assistant principal, who's got a big unsightly growth on her face]
Anita: I'm Anita Hoargarth.
Buck Russell: [Staring at it] I'm Buck Melanoma. Moley Russell's wart. Not her wart. Not her wart! I'm... I'm the wart. She's my tumor. My... my growth. My... uh, my pimple. I'm Uncle Wart. Just old Buck "Wart" Russell. That's what they call me, or Melanoma Head. They'll call me that. "Melanoma Head's coming." I'm s... uncle! Maisy Russell's uncle!
It's all in his performance - to make that work it really needs a quality comedic actor and he was certainly that! RIP JC

.... Oh man I just thought of loads more :(
Joe Dante films always make me laugh for the 'in jokes'
Gremlins : The scene where the dad is calling Billy from his inventors conference and it intercuts between the two characters. The dad is in a room where there is a scientist in a white coat sitting in the original 'Time Machine' from the 1960 film and when the cut goes from Billy back to his dad the scientist has disappeared and all these other guys are looking around bemused as to where he's gone!!! Brilliant !!!
Gremlins 2, the new batch: I much prefered this one for the Tex Avery style humour and there is SOOOOO much of it.
Chistopher Lee walking into scene holding a 'Pod' from the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers
The Cow with a contraption on it's head walking across shot and a voice saying " I enjoy giving milk....:
The automated voice that kicks in whenever someone enters the executive toilets:
"Welcome to the MEN'S room!" [in macho voice] + "Hey buddy I sure hope you washed those hands!!!"
There's loads more but I wanna move onto...
THE BURBS I love this film. The stuff Art says and does is priceless!! But that stand off between him and Tom Hanks son in the kitchen when they are hypothesizing what the Klopeks are and they are munching on food while they do it!! Cracks me up.
The cut-out shape of art in the shed roof from when in fell into it earlier is hysterical.
Tom Hanks going on how he's been blown up! The entire scene when they first go into the Klopeks' house and Tom Hanks has to eat a pretzel and a Sardine!!! The noise as he picks out the sardine from the tin is genuis!
The dramatic music as the neighbours look on at the Klopeks house and the final shot is on Walter's dog (Some kinda poddle) :D
I should stop but I have to mention:
THE EXPLORERS and the mouse who has speaking pads in his cage. When the blue ball goes ape around the basement destroying everything in the room if you listen carefully in all the commotion; aswell as the human characters yelling to "Stop!" You can hear the mouse going : "Help! Help me!" in typical mouse voice!! Just hilarious!!!
Also he says "I L.O.V.E. Cheese!!" - dunno why but that gets me everytime :D
Ok I really should stop.... Work to do.
Cheers
