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?

The funniest and most embarrassing moments for me watching a movie wasn't at the movies but at a girls night at home. I had some friends over when I was a teen and we were watching the original Nightmare on Elm Street.

Anyway, there is a part at the end where the main girl goes to sleep to pull Freddy into reality and she wakes up in bed. There is chilling music as she starts calling out for Freddy and all of a sudden Freddy jumps up from besides the bed. At exactly the same moment my mother jumped up from behind the couch with a roar and I screamed the loudest and most high pitch scream imaginable. She scared the crap out of me. Mum couldn't stop laughing.

There are two incidents I remember

one: during a very quiet and peaceful scene in 'brokeback mountain' you could see the flock of sheep coming up a hill and one of them is zoomed in when the woman next to me stated with an absent-minded voice: "sheep are such dumb animals." the mood was ruined but it was definitely worth it

two: I was watching "Click" with a friend and the only other people in the cinema were three or four teenageboys two rows behind us. In one scene David Hasselhoff who plays Adam Sandler's boss tells him something like: "Japanese are always busy, they don't even have time to cook their fish" (I watched a dubbed version) About one minute after this joke the guys behind us start laughing because they finally got it- we totally lost it

Okay, me and my wife are early for our movie. We're in a multiplex, so we duck in to see the end of the movie in the theater next door - Seabiscuit. There's a scene about 10-15 minutes from the end when the doctor says to Tobey Maguire that if he rides Seabiscuit in the final race, he could die.

My wife says, "Oh, sure, like they're really gonna kill off Tobey Maguire. He's the hero of the movie."

So I turn to her and say, "Don't you know the story of Seabiscuit? He DOES die. But Seabiscuit goes on to win the race anyway! That's why they made the movie!"

"Really?"

I was able to hold my sh!t together for about 15 seconds, and then I lost it. And then my wife lost it. We are laughing like idiots, and the whole theater is pissed!




I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

whilst i was watching silence of the lambs a guy behind me at the point they run into the room in Buffalo Bills house with all the butterflies said

"OHHHHH so that's why he's killing them, to feed his moths."

Many years ago, when Dolby Sound and THX were just getting established in the greater movie theaters in San Francisco, the show would begin with the logo of the sound company taking up the entire screen, and a crescendo of one note building to a chord filling the whole theater.

And one guy yells "hey, can you turn it up?!!!"

It still cracks me up.

during "minority report," right before max von sydow's character is about to kill colin farrell's character, MVS asks "do you hear that?" right then, someone's cell phone rang, and the whole audience busted out laughing!

this one needs a little set-up: "alien nation" came out in the summer of 1988, during the summer olympics. there was a canadian runner in the olympics named ben johnson who shattered the world record for one of the races and won the gold medal, only to be later stripped of the medal since he was found guilty of using performance enhancing drugs. there's a scene in "alien nation" where terrence stamp's character overdoses on an alien drug, which makes him super strong, and he starts running. right at that moment, my friend leans over to me and says "it's ben johnson!" i started laughing my ass off, but i'll never forget, the guys behind us heard my friend's comment, and they both started laughing hysterically.

My mom told me about seeing a Western in the theater with her friend in the '30s or '40s. A character falls off a cliff and is obviously killed, and the other characters in the scene go to the edge of the cliff and look down. Just then my mom's friend says out loud, "Are ya hurt?" Apparently it brought the house down.

I saw "The Man from Snowy River" in the theater with my sister. [SPOILER ALERT] At the climax, as we see our hero has rounded up the horses and is bringing them in, I said aloud (louder than I realized), "Book 'em, Dan-o!" My sister still harasses me about it. (You probably had to be there.)
