Funniest Part?

Leslie Edwards: "Have you ever been in love, Mr. Hunt?"

Bartholomew Hunt: "Oh I've had my head under a petticoat or two ;)"

Leslie Edwards: "Must you and the others reduce everything to their crudest terms?"

Bartholomew Hunt: "Uh... I thought I cleaned that one up pretty nicely there for ya"

IMO everything involving Bidwell is gold, I especially love the scene after he's been mauled by the bear, its been a while since I've seen it but it goes something like

Bidwell "I've been to hell and back! Now I imagine you'll form a hunting party to slay the terrible beast?!"

Leslie "We could do that, but in ohhhh about 10-15 years the ravages of time will do far worse than we ever could."

Bidwell "Revenge is sweet!"

Yeah I know I probably butchered that scene brutally, and then of course comes the ear part.

I have a few:

-When they all start shooting at the squirrel.
"IT'S GOT SOMETHING IN ITS HAND!!"
it's also great when hunt is telling about the animals.
"I seen a badger with paws the size of frying pans. They'll rip your right off, just right-theres nothing you can do about that!"

-When Hunt says
"Well uh, I've had my head up a petty coat or two * wheezes * "
and that whole scene is just hilarious!
"Oh my god...alright, from here on out, you keep your distance."

-When Edwards takes the medicine, and when Hunt has to get the Eagle egg, classic!

-When Higgins tells the story about the sheep *beep*

-When Edwards is trying to teach hunt how to read.
"This is the upper case,A!"
"ah, the, upper case,A"
"and this is the, lower case..a!"
"the..l-lower case..a..*makes weird noises*"
"the is the upper case-"
"ENOUGH!! DO YOU WANT MY HEAD TO EXPLODE?! THATS ENOUGH FOR ONE NIGHT!!"

-There's more but those are the ones I've thought of.

The part that cracked me up specifically was "under the shade (arm motions) of an elm tree."

There was one scene where Hunt was about to get his tooth pulled out by the barber. He just sat there with a stupid look on his face, and the barber hit him in the head with a mallet. Then he started yelling at the barber and the barber hit him again. Physical comedy at its best.

Definitely the scene with the eagle, and the line "Who's idea was the corn?". And also the beginning when Hunt was about to be hanged.

Mine is the scene from when chikina takes a shower and Hunt sees fonteno also taking a shower

never underestimate the power of the mind

I particularly loved Edwards' reaction to the medicine (I wonder if it was unscripted), Fontenot spitting out Bidwell's ear ("'ee saw 'er breast!"), every line Fontenot speaks with that hilarious accent, of course the eagle and Hunt's expressions, Hunt's descriptions of the various wild animals (soon followed by the expedition wasting their ammo on a tiny squirrel), Edwards' lines spoken while delusional from the fever, Hunt learning the alphabet and throwing a tantrum at the upper-case B, Edwards objecting to Hidalgo's taking the Indian woman and Hidalgo sizing up Edwards ("Don't... take her! ...Take me, instead!" "Put your hands on your hips..."), everything with the Indian warriors, "Say puppy!", and probably lots more. Had great laughs throughout the whole film; probably one of the most underrated comedies of all time.
