I love Kurt's unseemly nature when he says "Chinese girl, all right, I never done that."
Or:
"It's all in the reflexes."
That flick's full of 'em!

My biggest laugh was probably when Buffy said to the demon "Wanna see my imitation of Ghandi?" Then she struck the guy dead. Her friend looked at her as if to ask a question, and Buffy followed with "You know, if he was really pissed."
Gets me every time.

Miss the old days when you and Zoid posted more often, Mal.

Raise you hand if, 'Eeewwue' Chrisisall

Gene Wilder pulls the hood off Clevon Littles head so he can ask, "Where are the white women?"
Okay, so pretty much all of Blazin' Saddles killed me.

Madeline Kahn as Lili von Schtupp in Blazing Saddles - when she does her song "I'm Tired".

Tim Curry as Wadsworth the Butler in Clue when he's doing the run-through of what's happened so far in the movie.

Mal: "With a s-what?" in Shindig.

Spike watching Angel from the roof. "I'm almost out of the nancy-boy hair gel I like so much. Quickly, to the Angel-mobile! Away!"

Faith, as Buffy, telling Spike "It's wrong." Gets me every time.

Alan Rickman as the Sheriff in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. "You! My room, ten minutes. You, ten minutes later! Bring a friend!"

Miracle Max's wife Valerie in the Princess Bride, when she chases him round the hut going "Humperdinck! Humperdinck!"

When Wesley Snipes (as Noxzeema Jackson) plays basketball in To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar.

When Alan Tudyk jumps out on Vince Vaughn in Dodgeball. "Steve be a bit short for the rent this month! Yarr!" That whole bit. And the bondage coat. :)

When Mal says to Jayne, "The days of me not takin' you seriously are comin' to a middle."

Wash doing the first dino bit. You know. The "this land - betrayal - die! - arrrrgh" section...

Too many bits of A Knights Tale to mention. But mostly the bit when Wat sits up, half asleep, and shouts "Tansy Cakes!" and the bit where Chaucer gets called Master Nude by Roland. And when Roland describes William's tunic to the maid Christiana. And... :)

Oh, and Alan Cumming in X Men 2, when he says "I am Kurt Wagner. But in ze circus zey called me ze Incrrrrrredible Night Crrrrawler..." - it's not funny in itself, but after my friends have repeated it a dozen or so times, it gets me sniggering for some reason...

Mrs W

ETA: I forgot. Joss as Numfar, in No Place Like Pltz Grb (or whichever one it was) doing the Dance of Shame. I nearly died laughing. I love that bit.

O my gosh, there are too many! Let's see, anything Monty Python, specifically the Holy Grail- the coconut scene is the best! Also anything Mel Brooks- I nearly died the first time I saw the Puttin on the Ritz scene from Young Frankenstein A lot of mine have been mentioned already...let's see...Princess Bride- the whole Miracle Max scene and right after when they bring Wesley back to life and his head is flopping around. Ace Ventura's impression of a dolphin (it's been awhile since I've seen it but I remember laughing for at least ten minutes straight). And last but not least- Zoolander, the whole thing is hilarious!
EDIT: I can't believe I forgot Firefly! You all know the good scenes- I won't bore you with a list.

Dang! I forgot Clue! I love that bit. Tim's just so frenetic. ("To make a long story short..""Too late!")

You also made me remember another one from "Angel"...Lindsey and his 'evil hand' at the W&H board meeting.

Well the whole movie Hot Shots Part Deux is funny, but one line really gets me (probably not 100% accurate, but it'll get the point across):

(Pointing on globe) "And then we strike!"
"Sir, that's Minnesota."
"Dammit, man. That's the genius of my plan! We'll fly them over here, their families too. We can teach 'em how to ice skate..."

I loved the line in Wedding Crashers when Owen Wilson tells the joke after the discussion about the two rich families being joined through marriage (I think I was one of 3 people who laughed at this joke, I don't know why):

"And then you can challenge the Klingon Empire for interstellar domination."

And as far as TV, in Clerks the animated series (yet another good show that was cancelled) when the jury's deliberation was replaced by japanimation...it just came out of nowhere.

one in the Simpsons were the guy is robbing Apu (again) and Apu pushes a button and it announces throughout the store "Silent alarm activated"

also a scene in Family Guy were he is talking to the pirate who has all wooded limbs-
Peter- so did you get in an accident or something
Pirate- no, me father was a tree

Scary movie three when a kid throws a bunch of crayons at the door and Brenda says "now who the **** did that!!"

oh and of course-
Willow- ...B-I-T-C-H
Giles- I think were all a little too old to be spelling things out
Xander- A Bitca?

It's a real burden being right so often.
