What was the funniest scene to you? To me, the part where Tommy is sitting on a bench with Richard and he's complaining about how much life sucks and then the bench just collapses beneath him. I laughed so hard I was literally on the floor laughing. I have to rewind it multiple times when I watch it.
shareI could never pick a favorite line, but my favorite scene in the movie is where Tommy does the "puppet show" with the model cars... gets me every time!!
shareI'll list the scenes or a line from the ones I think are the funniest:
The "puppet show" with the cars/fire
"Fat guy in a little coooooooooat!"
"Richard, were you watching Spanktravision?"
The entire diner scene "Oh I love my pretty little pet...."
When Tommy sees his new office for the 1st time "You can put 6-packs of be-uh soda in here.....!"
One of the guys at the wedding reception, when he says something to the camera like "Oh would I love to get me some of that!" Then he figures he goofed and tries to get the camera back to try and erase it.
When Rob Lowe loses his shirt to the automatic mail-sender thing.
When David Spade plays the housekeeping lady.
By far the best scene is when Tommy is ginf the "brake pad" show with the manager's cars. The whole scene is funny to watch because you know by looking at Spade's face, they had to edit it really good. He just kept laughing.
Another great scene was a quick one but I will write it out.....
Zalinski - Went a little happy there on the pine tree perfune, huh son?
Tommy Boy - Sir, it's a taxi cab air freshener.
Zalinski - Good you've pinpointed it, step two is washing it out.
I crack up on that scene everytime....

Far and away the puppet show. Imagine how many takes that must have taken. I've seen this movie over 100 times (no exaggeration. kept track up until around 70 something, which was back in high school), and this scene puts me on the floor every time.
Next would probably the "2...4..niner" scene.
then anything involving the line "shut up, richard"
And as we wind on down the road...
how can you pick the funniest scene? there are just too many.
apart from the ones listed above, my favs include;
- tommy running into the fence that is just being put up
- the two of them in the car not wanting to change the song, then it cuts back to the two of them belting out the song with tears running down their faces
- the cow tipping and washing off the mud on tommy
- the deer waking up in the back seat
- tommy doing kung-fu with the hooks in the shop
and im sure theres many more i havnt included......clearly this is one of the best comedies of all time.....and certainly the most under rated of all time.
The 'puppet show' with the model cars, my eyes literally teared up I was laughing so hard. =D

I like the scene where Richards hair blows off
And when Richard tries to wake Tommy up in the hotel to tell him they sold those brakepads
I love the part where the hood comes up out of nowhere. To add insult to injury it comes up again right before they almost hit the truck or whatever it was head on.
shareWhen Tommy is trying to sleep and Richard is pretending to be house cleaning and Tmmy yells NO GO AWAY LET ME SLEEP FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! When he is trying to change in the little bathroom. and when they are singing and the hood flies up on the car and they start swerving around on the highyway.
shareWatching the M&M's roll across the dash of Richard's car and down the vent and the fight between Tommy and Richard.
shareBEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. lol the funniest thing ever
=================================
***Carved my Name in My face to Recognize***
I always crack up when Tommy Boy wigs out in the guy's office "I just wanna jerk the wheel into a goddamn BRIDGE ABUTMENT!!!" everyone's facial reaction always has me in tears.
shareDEER!!!!!
The "puppet show" with the cars is by far my favorite.

The fight scene outside of the Prehistoric Forest. When Richard nails Tommy across the face with a 2 by 4, that makes me laugh out loud.
And the next scene, when he's talking to the waitress about sales and he uses the dinner roll as his "pretty little pet", when he tears it up and shakes violently, that is hilarious
"Follow my lead. Throws open car door. BEES!!!!"
Halo: Secretary of Treasury of Survivor IMDb
hilarious movie
and the car puppet thing is great.
also:
i love the 'you're coming pretty fast' thing with the machinery at his dad's factory, when he was talking to the machinery and ends up in a karate duel thing
the LOOK on tommy's face is PERFECT when he and the girl are out on the boat, and he yells at the kids on shore, the first time, and when he sits back down and says "and you were saying..." you can tell in Farley's eyes that he KNOWS that the kids are gonna yell again, and that it is funny that you know that he knows.....PERFECT
the look on his face when he makes the first sell brake shoes sale to the old guy
when he falls on the table, drunk, in the beginning at the frat house
and DON'T FORGET the flashdance thing with the water, after the cow tipping. then the 'did you paintchips as a kid?" why???

"What'd ya do???"
"DEEEEEEEEEEEEERR!" (For some reason this was the funniest line for me, something about the facial expression and the way he just screamed it made me nearly pi$$ myself).
"YOU'D BETTER PRAY TO THE GODS!... OF SKINNY PUNKS!... THAT ABSOLUTELY NO WIND PICKS UP!... CUZ I WILL COME OVER THERE, AND JAM AN OAR UP YOUR *SS!!"
The Airplane Restroom is the funniest scene of all right next to the child size life preserver.
sharethis movie is so damn funny. i just saw it for the first time yesterday,love it.
funniest scenes were the mud washing "i'm a maniac!"lol
when they're singing in the car together and crying,I laughed so hard
when tommy is in the boat screaming to the kids.
"they call me the seeker"
I always liked the scene where David Spade is getting directions from that Gas station guy.
shareIt's the way that fight scene ends for me - Tommy's knocked cold, Richard looks up..."Hey, Prehistoric Forest!"
shareMy favorite scene is the date by the lake where the kids completly *ockblock Tommy during his time alone with Michelle in his sailing boat (which isn't moving, in the middle of the lake). I know this scene word for word lol :)
Kid 1: Hey tubbo, you ain't moving!!! hahahaha
Tommy: Yeah, needs a little wind here
Kid 1: No, it looks like you need to drop a couple hundred pounds BLIMP!!!
*kid 1 laughs again, along with friends*
Tommy: I guess that's your theory...(then to Michelle) Kids these days...
Kid 2: Hey!! your sail is limp...like your dick!!
Tommy: WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE IN FRONT OF THE LADY PUNK!!! (to Michelle) I'm so sorry about those kids, they're so--
Kid 1: Hey Gilligan, did you eat the skipper???
Tommy: YOU BETTER PRAY TO THE GODS OF SKINNY PUNKS THAT THIS WIND DOESN'T PICK UP, BECAUSE I'LL COME OVER THERE AND JAM AN OAR UP YOUR A$$!!!!
All 4 Kids (sarcasticly): OOOOOOOOHHHH
Tommy (to Michelle): I'm so sorry about, these kids are so immature right now--
Kid 3: Hey lady look out, theres a fat whale on your boat!!!
Kid 4: Yeah, FREE WILLY!!!
*Tommy gets up to say something, but Michelle tells Tommy to sit down so she says something to the kids*
Michelle: LISTEN UP YOU LITTLE SPAZOIDS, I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE AND I'VE SEEN WHERE YOU SLEEP. I SWEAR TO EVERYTHING HOLY THAT YOUR MOTHERS WILL CRY WHEN THEY'VE SEEN WHAT I'VE DONE TO YOU!!!
*kids look at each other, then run off in fear*
Michelle: (long pause afterwards)....That was a lie, I don't even know where they live *smiles and laughs*
Tommy: Cool *laughs*
Bees part and the part where Richard says, "I just barfed in an anthill. Looks like they're pissed."
"You have deeeee railed."
"Shut up Richard!"
That whole sequence
"Look mommy, the rhino's getting too close to the car."
"Him just afraid he's a little guy."
"Alright that's it fat boy I'm going to wail on you."
"Hey look boys and girls it's Papa Smurf!"
"You don't want none of me; think it through."
"Just gimme your best shot, I'll give you a free one."
Richard punches Tommy
"That was it? Come on you can do better than that, can't you Captain Limp Wrist? Try again!"
Richard punches Tommy
"Hey everybody, is there a window open; I feel a draft!"
Richard punches Tommy again
"If I wanted a kiss, I'd call your mother!"
Richard hits Tommy with a 2 by 4
"That was a good one."
Tommy falls down
"Hey, Prehistoric Forest!"
The huge red mark on his face.
"I thought I hit you in the arm? No, my arm is fine. But my face really hurts. Is there anything on my face?
Nope, tip top shape.
It doesn't really hurt here or here but right here."
"BEEEEESSS!!!!! And they're sting crazy!!!!"
For me its near the end:
Tommy: "RT, I lost my virginity to your daughter.......Rob you were there...."
The ones already discussed are quite good too
The TOO many! But here's my favorite 3:
1) The part where Tommy puts the M&Ms on the dashboard and they go inside the car.
2) The bank scene, where they think Tommy's gonna rob them.
3) The whole airplane scene.
