Funniest thing that has ever happened during a movie?


Well, this is always one of the more fun threads, so why not start one here?

So, me and my girlfriend went to go see this today, and during the movie, in one scene (SPOILERS!) carells charachter has to catch his 3 daughters as they jump to him, as the last one is jumping, a guy in the front yells as loud as he can, "He dies trying to save her!" and an extremely ticked dad in the back yells, "SHUT THE *beep* UP!"

Everybody in the theatre lost in completely, funniest thing that's ever happened during a movie to me.

So... what is the funniest thing that has ever happened during a movie for you?

I went to see Superbad with a friend. Right before the movie started, a bunch of drunk kids came in. They talked all through the previews, and texted constantly. About ten minutes into the actual movie, one guy got to his feet, and seemed to try and whisper: *beep* man! I gotta take a pi.ss!" He took two steps and fell flat on his face. Best part of the night for me.

This happened so long ago that it was before theaters typically had carpet. Fortunately, the movie hadn't started but the lights were already down for the trailers.

Someone near the back dropped what sounded like a 5 lb box of Skittles onto the bare, slanted concrete floor. Sounding like a freed bag of marbles, they started speeding down the incline with a tink, tink, tink as they hit the back of the metal feet of the chairs. The sound got faster and wider as they passed us and rolled all the way to the front row.

Hilarious -- and the best surround sound EVER.

I was at the midnight showing for Star Wars Episode 3, the 20th Century fox logo disappears from the screen and "a long time ago in a galaxy far far away" comes up, there was a guy a couple of rows ahead who during that moment of silence lets out the biggest, wettest squelchy fart ever and a second or so later yells "oh *beep* he had followed through and had to get up and go out a minute later. I swear I missed almost the entire opening battle of the film because I was laughing so hard which was causing everyone round me to start laughing too.

i was watching 9 with my friends and just before the first scene some guy made a tiny squeaking noise. i can't even describe why it was funny, it just...was. we missed the whole first scene because we couldn't stop laughing at it.

and similarly, i saw pirates 4 with my girlfriend last year and again, just before the film when the lights went down some guy said in a really pathetic voice "i'm scared of the dark". we missed most of that first scene too.

I went to a New Bedford, MA movie cinema to watch ALIENS, when it first came out. Five tough guys came in and sat a couple of rows behind me. They were all brave and talking like they were the baddest bunch around. I figured they were too young to have scene ALIEN in a theater-like setting and had only seen it on a little TV, and wondered if they were ready for the ride of their young lives at that point. So, not too long into the movie I noticed they were quiet as church mice and had lost all their bravado. I didn't hear anything else from them until the drop-ship returned to the Sulaco and the alien queen made her surprise entrance, which made one of the now vanquished, tough guys yell out with this voice that was quaking with fear, "AINT THIS MOVIE EVA GONNA END". The feeling must've been a mutual one for everybody in there, because nobody said a word after their initial gasps. I laughed a little on the inside, but I have to admit to sharing those feelings, after all my heart-rate had to have been pegged at 120+bpm, from about the time the Marines first entered the atmosphere processor.
I've never, to this day, heard anybody as scared as that at the movies, and I will never forget the sound of that guy's voice.

"That's it man! Game over man! Game over! What the *beep* are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do?"
"Maybe we can build a fire, sing a couple of songs, huh? Why don't we try that?"

I saw "Taken" back in the January of '09 and since the theater was extremely packed, this really annoying lady had to sit next to me. During the preview she turns around to face the projector in the back to yell and complain that it was too loud. She then asked me if I thought it was too loud as well, and I practically ignored the foolish woman. People practically kept telling her to shut up, and one hilarious individual then shouted out "it's too loud!" in a mockingly bitchy tone, causing the woman to reply with a screechy "shut up!" At that point I believe she was escorted out of the movie theater by security.

I was watching the Footloose remake in the theater, the old one is one of my favorite 80s movies. The part near the end when Ren gets out of his bug to pick up Ariel for the prom is one of my favorite parts, Kevin Bacon was just so cute in that one moment, as was Kenny Wormald. Anyways, as soon as I saw him in that burgundy tux, I yelled "Yeah!" The whole theater cracked up laughing :)

I happened to be the cause for a good laugh in Matrix 3...
When they said something about their brainwaves looking like being jacked into the Matrix but they aren't connected via anything, I couldn't help blurting out "Hah! Wireless LAN!"
Cue laughter starting from my buddies and circling outward.
Nobody complained...
