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?

The ENTIRE scene with Gene Hackman! OMG, I laugh so hard each time I see it! The soup. The coffee mug breaking with the look on "the monster's" face! and the final line (which I use here!) I was gonna make Espresso! Dear Lord, perfection!

Wait! Wait! Where are you going? I was gonna make Espresso!

That priceless moment when the monster realizes his thumb is on fire...."OoooWOWWW!!!"

Maybe my favorite line in the movie, though: "SEDAGIVE?!!"

"You may have come on no bicycle, but that does not say that you know everything."

Yes! Yes, that is priceless!!!!! My youngest son likes, "Not the THIRD switch!!!" Its funny cuz it makes no sense what-so-ever!!!! I adore that movie! I even changed my signature from Jagged Edge to ...... 😀😀

Wait! Wait! Where are you going? I was gonna make Espresso!

Yeah, I like your ending quote. It's such a great sign-off. I got mine from an odd - but entertaining, if you're as weird as I am - book called 'The Second Policeman.'

A friend from England came to the US to visit, once, and we spent some time watching my favorite comedies. I couldn't get so much as a giggle out of him until we were watching YF. The scene at the train station: "Igor, would you help me with the baggage?" "Soitenly. I'll take da blond, you take da one in da toiban." And the moment where Igor tries to deflect Frankenstein's wrath by nuzzling his shoulder like a pet dog.

"You may have come on no bicycle, but that does not say that you know everything."

Thanks! and I have never seen The Second Policeman. I will have to watch it ASAP cuz I am weird too! But I was wondering about the quote!!!

As for the Brits, my son has a few pals from there and they stayed here for a couple weeks. VERY different sense of humor from us "Yanks"! :) But we had a blast. Ya, that train station scene is a riot!! I cracked up so hard. I mean everything is!!!

Wait! Wait! Where are you going? I was gonna make Espresso!

'The 3rd [did I call it '2nd?'] Policeman' is a novel; never was made into a film. By Flann O'brien (sp?). I highly recommend it. If you want weird MOVIE content, you can't do much weirder than 'Cars That Eat People,' which I also recommend.

"You may have come on no bicycle, but that does not say that you know everything."

For me it's the blind hermit scene. I laugh every time. In fact, I'm so bowled over by this scene, I can't watch the "straight" original version anymore without doing an MST3K on it while it's running. I laugh as soon as I hear the violin playing. Sorry, Mr. Karloff... it's Peter Boyle's and Gene Hackman's fault for being way too funny.

Oh wow! A Mistie! What do you say to yourslef when you mistie that sequence?

[–] irishm 8 years ago

I usually start with "walk this way" when the hermit invites the Monster in.

- Would the doctor care for a... brandy before retiring?
- No. Thank you. Some varm milk... perhaps?
- No... thank you very much. No thanks.
- Ovaltine?
- NOTHING! Thank you! I'm a little - tired!
- Then I will say... goodnight, Herr Doctor.
-Goodnight, Frau Blücher.
