"Emperor's New Groove" is the single funniest thing David Spade has ever done. The comic bit in the diner where he and Eartha Kitt trade lines over a food order is brilliant. That movie is -obviously a straight up Looney Tunes homage by the Disney animators.
"Galaxy Quest" is my must-see-if-it-comes-on-tv movie. There are so many gut busting scenes. But the single biggest laugh for me (I get the giggles even thinking about it) is Tommy Laredo (Darryl "Chill" Mitchell's character) taking the spaceship out of drydock and scraping the hull. Sweet mercy, that's good stuff. My mom owned a frighteningly massive Lincoln back in the 70s and that scene reminded me of her trying to drive it out of the garage without taking off a side mirror. My siblings and I would even do that silent body English to urge the vehicle in the right direction, just like in "Galaxy Quest"!

And Patrick Warburton is so, so, so funny as the evil queen's sidekick. Like, it almost ruined his awesomeness as Puddy on Seinfeld, because it was only 50% as funny as his awesomeness in TENG. |

There's something about "Squeak Squeak Squeakedy-squeak" delivered in a barrel-chested baritone that sends me into gales of giggles.  My personal laugh-fest faves: What's up, Doc?, Silent Movie, and Better Off Dead. Oh, and The English Patient. Well, I laughed. |

Oh, and The English Patient. Well, I laughed. Wasn't as funny as Sack Lunch. |

I was always a sucker for comic murder mysteries and could quote whole scenes of Clue by heart. Even when I didn’t know what it meant. “You lure men to their deaths lik a spider with flies.” “Flies are where men are most vulnerable.” “That’s right!” I didn’t get it. So innocent.
I also love Murder by Death. It makes no sense, and some of the comedy is just too easy and silly, but I adore it. Now that I’m older, of course, I get that all those characters are knock-offs of famous fictional detectives. Dick and Dora Charleston? Sam Diamond? Jessica Marbles? Cheap and easy, but it still cracks me up when the blind butler (Alec Guiness) tries to deal with the deaf-mute maid or when Lionel Twain loses it because Mr. Wang won’t use pronouns.
It’s not necessarily the funniest movie ever, but one scene that still makes me laugh out loud is in The Lady Eve: the horse. Henry Fonda’s spouting some romantic gibberish to Barbara Stanwyck (the exact same junk he spouted to her earlier in the film when he thought she was someone else) and his horse just keeps getting in the shot, nuzzling his head. Stanwyck’s amusement, Fonda’s frustration, and the horse’s constant intrusions just crack me up.

Madeline Kahn is so hilarious in that movie. I've always wanted to screech "PLEEEEEASE!" and throw my wineglass in the fire.
