Funniest scene opinion

I crack up EVERY time I see the scene where Gene (Frankstein) tells Igor, Inga, and Frau that he must convince the monster he is loved. He says 'I will convince him, even if it costs me my own life. No matter what you hear, do NOT open this door.

The second he gets in the monster moves and groans and Gene jumps in fear, runs back to the door (within seconds of walking in) and says 'Get me out... Get ME the hell out. Open the door. I WAS JOKING!'

Love this scene so much.

Anyone else have a favorite scene?

I like it when Frederick gets ticked off about the Monster not coming to life and starts choking him and beating on its chest. As he is being dragged off, Igor looks at us and says, "Quiet, dignity, and grace." He is being sarcastic because Frederick had just said that before he went nuts and then didn't believe it.

My son and I text funny quotes to each other from this movie all the time. Helps break the monotony of the workday. There are so many funny scenes/lines in this movie.

I love pretty much the entire movie, and would never begrudge anyone their opinion of the funniest scene, but I would suggest that the scene in the laboratory from the moment the monster first awakens to the arrival of Inspector Kemp is a strong contender for one of the funniest scenes in cinema history, not just this movie.

You'd think my favourite scene would have changed between seeing it in the theatre first-run at the age of 10 and today, but no:

"What knockers!"
"Oh, thank you, Doctor!"

I crack up towards the end when Igor adds the little horn part to the music they're playing over the loudspeaker.

The whole bit with Gene Hackman, especially when he lights his thumb on fire - omg!

There are so many but I'll go with the "What knockers!" scene. Inge's grin and "thank you, Doctor" is the perfect response.

"Chicken soup - with a *beep* straw."
