Watchmojo suggestion: a list of one take movies or films shot in real time
Two words: Bigus Dickus
"Why is your family scottish"
"Why is your family Ross ?"
Chandler is the best on that show 😂
Damn right
Indeed with Joey number 2.
Chandler is a relatable legend
@@Gayredheadbitch94 I just hated the back and forth between him and Rachel got really repetitive (he'd be called out as a simp today)
@@Gayredheadbitch94 not shitting on Ross he has his moments
Jennifer Aniston totally broke the character with the bagpipes scene , it was hilarious
And when ross was 'playing' the keyboard as well.
@@varunsrinidhi2618 all the hand motions!
true
That was hysterical, one of my favorite bloopers from that show
That was the funniest! Ahahahaha
"When the f*ck did we get ice cream" that cracked me up so much
It's weirdly realistic too. The team might be disabled and limited but they're still people, not props.
If you tried the same thing with a grumpy 5-year-old you might get the same result.
I volunteered with the Special Olympics for over 15 years. Some of the things they say or do will put you in stitches laughing. Random moments and some of the most fun times I ever had. If I could have weekends off I would so go back. I miss those days.
My uncle and I quote this all the time and because the movie is a bit obscure everyone just looks at us weird whilst we are losing it.
Lmfao same!
No matter how many times I watch it always gets me
The beauty of Robin Williams' ad-lib about his wife farting was funny because it made Damon laugh. It was genius because he brought it right back to the script and the point the character was making about the charm of intimacy involving more than the good things we learn about our lovers. It would have been well worth the 10 or 20 seconds to keep the genius of that move.
both actors are booring the hell
It's a funny scene and all and it's funny that it made Damon break character. But this video was the "Top 20 scenes where actors couldn't keep a straight face". Counting them down from 20 to 1 implies that they are ranked in order by degree of funny. That scene was probably the least funny of all on the list.
They shot it several times and Williams made up a different story for each take. This one totally busted up Damon and they used it.
@@JB-uc4zv Just enjoy the video. Commenters fighting over the rankings in very single video is getting old as hell.
"You better hide that big ass forehead" so this is what the beef is about 😂😭😂
Lmao tyrese seemed butt hurt
I'm glad they kept Ludacris's spit-take in the movie & that it was genuine. It was great, so funny and it made it so much better knowing it was authentic 👏
I don't know if this counts, but literally any skit in the Carol Burnett Show with Tim Conway has Harvey Korman struggling to hide his laughter, Tim is truly one of the most legendary comedians ever
Sorry missed this comment but totes agree
Tim Conway's Mr Tudball calling Misssses a Wiggggins still cracks me up 😂😂😂
The Dentist Skit Was The Best!
@@snisbet721 absolutely. Just comedic genius!
Tim Conway broke character a lot😂❤
This would be a lot funnier if the narrator didnt talk so much. She literally explains each scene twice. Each scene is comprised of 3-8 seconds of footage along with around 30-90 seconds of just narrator babble.
I just posted the exact same comment. Waffle waffle
Dang so true!!
YES, INDEED! I just commented on that. I never make it far~ that damned yacking gets on my nerves!
@@MrTalklikeapirate Me, too.
Go watch CNN and see how they babble
It would be blissful and torture to work with Jim Carrey and that's what makes him so precious.
Watch the outtakes on 'Liar, Liar'. Carrey went off script so much and you see how many times the cast just lost it even though during the actual scene they remained stone faced.
100% agreed.
Imagine a film with Jim Carey and Ricky gervais nothing would get done
With that paranoid drug addict anything is possible
watch the documentary on Jim Carrey when he was making Man on The Moon. super great look into how he transforms into his character.
Carell's chest waxing scene is easily my favorite, because his reactions are genuine. I didn't realize until 5 years after I watched it that he actually got his chest waxed.
I always yell "ahh Kelly Clarkson" when I'm in pain
Nothing beats “My Cousin Vinny” during the stuttering Lawyer scene. The background shows Pesci and Macchio in tears.
Idk how they were able to shoot 3rd Rock from the Sun. Lithgow's character Dick was so funny and out there, trying to keep a straight face must have been seriously difficult.
Lithgow could hide the occasional smile because he was playing a smug, arrogant doofus.
Also known as 'the John Cleese method' :P
“If you’re a fan of the song playing right now...” “If you like what you’re hearing...” Alas, that’s rarely the case, WatchMojo
Agreed. I had to mute the audio three times during this. Too much blah blah blah
I wonder how much those people pay for those promos just for no one to listen lol
I'm a massive fan of alt music, but the bands they play are pretty awful. I do appreciate the effort though.
Too wh-ite I’d say
Tyrese: "Hey, Mia, you better hide your baby oil."
Rock: "You better hide that Big Ass Forehead."
Ludacris: SPITS OUT WATER, DYING!
Best scene, lol!
so funny that Ludacris even forgot he was holding a drink for a while
I love how Tyrese stayed in character, definitely one of my favorite scenes.
That’s why spit takes are so funny. They could happen at any time
I still cant stop laughing lol
John Lythgow is so good. Being hilarious in 3rd Rock and being stone cold psychopath in Dexter
And he did a great job playing the villain Eric Qualen in Cliffhanger with Sylvester Stallone
Lord Farquad in *_Shrek_* (2000)
In the movie " the proposal" Sandra Bullock laughs in to a napkin when the waiter says "it's wash and wear" love that movie. 😂🤣
Kenan and Kel on All That. Theyalways used to break character whenever they did a sketch together.
That's what makes Kenan so great, he knows he's funny and he owns it, to me it makes him more personable to see him crack himself up.
It's unprofessional.
Omg I used to love Kenan and Kel. I watched it literally every day.
Bruh, Kenan and Kel was epic, although I never seen All That, maybe because I’m a late 2000s kid, wasn’t there a reboot of it though?
Jim Carrey: the king of improvisation
I’m sorry, Jim Carey tries too hard and always looks for the camera. Robin Williams couldn’t help himself whether a camera was in the room or not. My opinion.
RW is king
Robin Williams also...
Always the theatrical ones.
Carrey, williams, chappelle, Brady, Grier, ivory wayans, Cheri Oteri... Etc.
@@ellicooper2323 i wish they acted together in something.
I personally think the best line of The Ringer is, "You picked up my CD in broad daylight, and you SCRATCHED it."
Loved the camera man getting in on the laughs with Matt and Robin. You can see the camera moving as the two actors are laughing their butts off
I think the camera man too.
You're right on point. Sometime ago I saw somewhere that the camera operator was laughing to the point of shaking the camera.
When the f**k did we get ice cream, pass the gas priceless
I agree
Agree
@@theotherside5253 the other side,wicked name
@@michaelscriver5395 thank you!
@@theotherside5253 your welcome it's different and I like different
It's always brings mixed feeligns seeing Robin Williams. He's a comedy genius, sure, but knowing he killed himself in dispair is like a stab to the heart. The world is a much diminished without him.
Absolutely 100% agree....🥺
Agreed 😥
The funniest people are the saddest. 😔
He had a disease called lewy body dementia. My uncle has it. His body is shutting down then his mind will go. My uncle is confined to a wheelchair and his mind is shutting down like normal dementia.
@@cmorris9494 I'm sorry to hear.
" When the f**k did we get ice-cream? ".
There's always that one friend🤣🤣
THEY'RE COMING IN THROUGH THE BACK DOOR! GRAB THE CHILDREN! SAVE THE CHILDREN!
I often quote this as loud as possible at random times.
We get used to seeing actors "laughing", when they actually laugh it's like an "oh yeah that's what real laughter looks like" moment
Yeah... Some of these moments on this Mojo list aren't actual genuine moments of laughter
"When the F*CK did we get ice cream?!" I hated that movie but I just died. 🍦👀
Same I chocked laughing at this
She stated that Glenn uttered the line but it was actually Winston.
That and "monstertard"
I laughed so hard, I had hiccups for like 10 minutes.
I hated it at first but it took a second watch to get the beauty of this movie. And the fact that The Kids of Widney High are an actual band with videos on CZcams is just awesome.
FRIENDS. Ross yelling "PIVOT". To this day I yell "PIVOT" when I'm trying to get past someone around the house or I get behind a slow driver.
I JUST USED THE "PIVOT" LINE THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY MOVING FURNITURE!! the funniest but ever on friends!
That scene is hilarious omgggggg
The first ever "circle" in That 70's show had all of the actors breaking characters...
and at the strip club when Kitty starts dancing and goofing off, you could see them trying to keep it together... and then the blooper reel shows exactly how much they were all laughing, because some of them were turning purple and the stripper couldn't even do one armed push-ups anymore because he was laughing too.
Ah, yes. The murder of the younglings. The funniest thing I ever saw
Ah yes the scene a comedy it is
What would you do for love?
Idk why that shit was hilarious
@@cashnomoney2884 Maybe he was laughing at the falseness of it. They looked liked they were sleeping and just had to comment on how bad of the fact that the Company behind the film didn't do any makeup work to make you believe otherwise. They could spend money to make Jar Jar Binks come alive, but they won't spend money to make an eight second screen shot look believeable. Really?
@@beauxr.benoit1374 are you upset? Or am I misinterpreting what you're saying? Is this comment sarcastism? I'm just asking
That rock comeback was exactly how I expected it to be😂🤣
And the fact that it was so smooth. No stuttering, no pausing just like it was straight out of the script
I'm very surprised at the star wars one. I mean yeah you might crack up at even the most serious of moments, but the way Mcgregor put his hand over his mouth to hide a smile, we all took that as him covering his mouth because he's shocked, hurt, and can't believe what is coming out of his own mouth. Great improvised moment.
I'm still not convinced it's a smile. Seems like dramatic effect (but who knows)l
Besides Jim Carrey and Robin Willians who are masters at this, the scene with Steve Carell, Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen are priceless for me.
Life of Brian's Biggus Dickus scene, the guards couldn't hold in their laughter
Credit to Michael Palin for going along once he saw the two guards laughing. He basically made the rest of the “Biggus Dickus” scene into a game of cracking the two guys up 😆
From what I understand, they told the extras they would be fired if they laughed, so they tried not to. I think it's on imdb or TV Tropes. Obv they didn't fire them...
it was scripted
@@hishamkhedarun4419 No it wasn’t .
There are so many Monty Python scenes where they are cracking each other up…
Young Frankenstein deserves at least an honorable mention for the scene when Madeline Kahn's character arrives at the castle, and Marty Feldman repeatedly cracks up the cast. It took two days of filming for a 30-second bit, and director Mel Brooks finally decided to just use the best take he had and move on. You can still see Gene Wilder cracking up in the final cut.
Yeah,but the video isnt about us cracking up. It's about the actors not being able to hold their laughter in.
@@xScooterAZx you mean like Wilder cracking up in the final scene?
@@stephenrussell5269 Yeah. :}
I don't blame Gene in the least. No matter how many times I watch the movie "Sure. You take the blonde, I'll take the one in the turban." delivered by Marty Feldman cracks me up to no end.
I didn’t know Ewan McGregor was laughing in that scene. I thought he covered his mouth as a sign of grief.
Same 😂😂😂
It's cuz he already knew the dialogue in the script was soooo bad 🤣
he definitely wasn’t smiling, idk what crack they’re smoking lmao
Yeah, a lot of this list is stupid.
Some of these are dubious guesses at best
The scene from Cannonball Run with Burt Reynolds and Dom Deluise where they are both losing it is pure gold. The outtakes are some of the funniest I've ever seen!
So, I married an axe murderer is my favorite comedy, and so underrated. Love that you guys featured it on the list 🥰
That movie was hilarious 🤣
HEAD MOOOOVE
Children: get slaughtered
Ewan and prequel fans: funniest shit i’ve ever seen
I’ve never experienced such comedy before
It's hard to deny the absurd dialogue in Star Wars, it's well documented how mmany problems the original cast had with it, and the term younglings alone is so out of left field and weird. I can definitely understand that reaction.
Well, at least Darth Vader wasn't yet wearing a cosplay. 'cause that is gold! The man loses both legs and has to get an armor with shoulder pads? Come on, it's ridiculous. /s
The funniest line, though, is by far "You underestimate my powers..." I giggle any time I hear it... 😅
What makes the Robin Williams monologue priceless, is that Matt Damon is not the only one losing it and laughing hard. If you watch closely, you'll notice that both cameramen are shaking, probably cause they can't help but laughing.
@8:20 LMAO !!! That was pure gold 😂😂😂
They forgot the scene from Everybody Hates Chris episode, "Everybody Hates Homecoming," where Chris' family was laughing at dinner while Chris was trying to keep a straight face
Whats funnier is that Drew was throwing waffles at Chris and Julius didn’t get mad at Drew for wasting food 😂
@@whyphy2213 It was bread
@@waheedabdullah6371 oh yeah
Is there a clip on CZcams?
@@whyphy2213 isn’t this where the kool-aid man busts through the wall?
Man even if he’s not with us Robin Williams still makes me laugh
The fact that she says the cast of Easy Rider only “might” be stoned is the funniest thing on this list.
I miss Robin Williams. He was an amazing actor. The Fisher king and Good Will Hunting are just 2 of my favorites!
I feel ya...I miss him as well.
The Fisher King was exquisite
@@tjvirginia1319 I've gotta watch it again it's been years. I love that movie!
World's Greatest Dad is my favorite performance from him.
There was a scene from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix that featured Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson bursting out laughing when she said the line, "just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon..." According to David Yates, the director of the film, it wasn't in the script, but it was such a natural reaction that he decided to keep keep it in. Sometimes the best moments in TV/film are the unscripted moments
Tyrese got all sensitive after that comeback 😂
Absolutely hilarious. I love gag reels. I'm disappointed when DVD/blu ray releases don't include the bloopers.
“When tf did we get ice cream!?... did u get ice cream..?” 😂😂
I can watch the Fast and Furious one over and over again, and still laugh. Just the play off, and Luda's reaction!
Almost every scene in the comedy series Martin, the cast would break character everytime Martin Lawrence would start in with his physical comedy. The scene where he was holding back a stuffed dog from attacking the rest of the cast still takes me out lmao
That scene gets me to this day!
I was looking for this comment lmao! One of the funniest scenes on tv history.
Cole! Sit yo 5 dolla ass down fo I make change!
When Ryan Gosling hosted SNL there was one skit where he was cracking up during Kate McKinnon’s off-script rant 😂
The episode of Martin when his CD player goes missing, so he parodies the New Jack City table scene is one of my favorites. Tommy breaking character gets me every time!!!
One of my all-time favorite moments!
Watchmojo idea:
Top 20 scenes that took under 1 take.
That's a good one.
Meryl Streep. Sophie's Choice.
...Under 1 take?? So they did it in zero takes?
Congrats! Watchmojo has HEARD you
In the Show "Perfect Strangers," which ran from 1986 to 1993, actor Bronson Pinchot who played Balki constantly broke character in almost every episode. He always had an unmistakable smirk on his face during his own and his co-star's manic antics.
I love Supernatural. It's so funny it's been part of my TNT morning routine for many years
How in the hell could you not have Young Frankenstein in there? The scenes when Madeline Kahn shows up showed Gene Wilder cracking up all through it!
You miss one in the movie 48 hours when Nick Nolte gave Eddie Murphy the candy bar from the vending machine the look on Eddie Murphy's face priceless
How could you not laugh at Benecio Del Toro talking like that 😂😂😂😂😂
And when Benicio gets smacked on the arm by Steven Baldwin he returns it back. Like school boys. LOL
All hilarious. Must not forget practically every Carol Burnett & Friends episode especially with the late Tim Conway.
SO TRUE!! They were always losing it! I loved that show.
So when Matt Damon laughs very hard he squeaks and his right nostril flutters. That's wild. At least he's not crying like me. I could never continue after a scene like that.
Fun Fact: The scene in Goodwill Hunting where Robin Williams tells Matt Damon about his wife farting in her sleep, when they break out laughing, the shaking of the camera is due to the cameraman laughing while trying to keep the camera steady.
Oceans Twelve when Elliot Gould delivers the "I'm gonna shit on your feet" line, and Scott Caan loses it. One of my favorite scenes in that movie.
The leather pants was pure comedy gold. John lithgow is truly a master at his craft. Pure genius 😂😂😂
why didnt you include the time in Yellow Fever for Supernatural when Jensen screams? he totally made Jared and the crew fucking DIE lol
"That was scary... 😅" Makes me die every time too!!! 🤣🤣🤣 He's such an underappreciated actor, especially for his comedic ability!
Rob Lowe as #2 busted out laughing when Dr. Evil was throwing the globe at his face in The Spy Who Shagged Me.
Honestly, I don't know how anyone whose ever worked with Jim Carrey was able to keep a straight face.
Leading it off with Benicio's laugh was perfect.
"you better hide that big ass forehead". ..LMAO!! SPRITE CAME OUT OF MY NOSE JUST NOW!!! I feel Ludicrous!!
I laughed out loud several times at these. Thanks, I needed that.
When the fuck did we get ice cream is my favourite line from The Ringer
Did you get ice cream? Did you? Was I asleep or something? 🤣🤣🤣
it's difficult to go through this without smiling or laughing
omg Ross playing the bagpipes is still one of the funniest episodes!
Not laughing when someone is funny is hard
You know John Lithgow was working those leather pants. As much as I know we've seen him in serious stuff, let's not forget the man's talent for mining comedy gold.
When Tyrese says “I was just joking” bro I lost it at 3:30am! 🤣😂
The usual suspects is one of my favorite movies. Who is Kaiser Sosa ? Classic 😁
_So I Married An Axe Murderer_ is goddamn perfection.
Amen to that. I love the poem in the starting
It's honestly so underated
couldn't agree more
Michael Myers was terrific in this, vastly underrated.
The Monty Python movies have several scenes where this happens, they should have been included in this list.
Two words. Biggus Dickus.
Bruh i almost spit out my drink with Luda😂the Rock delivered that amazing
That bagpipe scene and steve carrel scene is historically funny.but imagine the pain that carrel going through 😂😂😂
One of the intense challenges of becoming an actor/actress
There is the Jamie Foxx Show driving school episode, where Mark Curry made Jamie Foxx laugh so hard that he had turnaway from the camera when Mark Curry in a drill sargeant uniform slid into a fall...
Yooooo I remember seeing that episode live. That way the heat episode out of the whole series. Underrated show. Martin Lawrence show had plenty of scenes like that. Good day's
" _Why is your family Scottish_ ?"
" _Why is your family Ross_ ?"
Lmmfao 😂
This just became my favorite line of the show 😁
RIP Matt 💐
Weird Science had a great laugh scene when Chet (Bill Paxton) confronts the teens (Anthony Michael Hall) about a missile being in the kitchen and the grandparents being catatonic in the closet. 🤣
I do love it when Stephen Baldwin hits Benicio!!!! 🤣
And you can hear an annoyed Bryan Singer trying to reign the guys in. He and screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie are the two cops in shadow.
The scene was supposed to be completely serious, but with Benicio’s farting (according to Kevin Pollak) & then Stephen Baldwin’s manic line reading cracking the entire lineup cast, Singer gave up and compiled the best of the takes from the entire sequence
The best part about the fart joke in good will hunting was the camera man laughing and shaking the camera
On the Jamie Foxx Show, the traffic school scene. Hilarious 😂😂. Everybody broke character
"So I Married an Axe Murderer" is one of my favorite movies of all time. Still think it's one of Mike Myers' best works.
There's another prized Jim Carrey moment where your can catch someone laughing from his actions.
In Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. When at the Mental Institution following the Doctor down the hallway. He spots the door he needs to get into, so he does his crazy distraction. When he slams his head on the bench. You can catch the Doctor chuckle quickly before the camera cuts to the next scene.
The scene where Dick Solomon (John Lithgow) turns up in leather pants and dyed black hair was hysterical. Third Rock From the Sun was always funny.
"When the *Beep* did we get ice cream?" lmao
Jim Carey is a comedic genius! Every time I see that scene from the Cable Guy I die laughing! Too funny!
The scene in friends when Ross realises his grandmothers ring is missing and Matt Leblanc starts laughing behind them
I’m laughing at the Robin Williams one and I can’t stop! 🤣😂
Dr. Strangelove - Peter Sellers arm is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Catching the whole scene is worth it.
Paul Rudd is freakin hilarious! If you haven’t already seen it, I highly recommend watching the clip from Wanderlust of him in the bathroom talking to the mirror 😂😂😂
If the episode of Martin parodying New Jack City not on this list I’m goin be upset
I was hoping someone would mention this one. They were all trying to stay in character, but Tommy was clearly losing it. Can't believe they missed this obvious one.
Black culture often gets looked over
I’m not surprised smh
That and the episode when Martin got beat up by the boxer and Tisha Campbell's face trying to console him 😂😂😂😂 classic
Oh the Jim Carrey most annoying sound used to be my ringtone for my mother... for about a week. LMAO My dad got a kick out of it. I of course changed it after I was able to share it with them.
Lol
Tim Conway was the best at making his scene partners break character on The Carol Burnett Show. 😂
