What are some movie moments that were not meant to be funny, yet for some reason you laugh at them?

For me...Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) Jerry (The guy with the glasses) finds Pam (girl on the hook) in the freezer and she sits up, then Leatherface comes behind him with a sledgehammer; Jerry starts screaming and gets hit in the head.

Batman...When the Joker shots Bob.
 
In the end of Return of the King, when they're all playing with each other in bed or something like a bunch of fairies. I think it was the 15th ending sequence of that movie, I am not sure.:cmad:
 
LOL
DefinitelyDefinitelyDefinitely

In Dante's Peak, they're all trying to escape the volcano on a raft and between Pierce Brosnan and these healthy kids and a woman I think, they're only a couple yards from the shore and the "heroic" (******ed) Grandma jumps off the raft LOL....into the burning acid lava water LOL....to push the raft the last few feet.

LOL, as she's lying there dying, her scalded legs looking like burnt bacon, her grandson or something comes up and hands her a necklace or something and says, "I want you to have this." and then she dies.........'cause she...jumped out of the raft, a few feet away from safety. :huh:
 
The most recent one is in Grudge 2, where the man on the bus is suppose to be playing peek-a-boo with the little cat boy Toshio. Everyone ends up laughing instead of being creeped out.

That scene always makes me laugh. Also the fact that heroic Pierce Brosnan is in there, yet it's the old woman who saves everybody. Even Linda Hamilton can do action hero, and yet they sit there waiting to die whilst the grandma saves them all......unintentional comedy on a grand scale.
 
Everything Keanu Reeves does in Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula is classic unintentional comedy. Just the idea of Keanu Reeves, of all people, playing a 19th century English gent is comedy.
 
Hahaha. Never saw that movie, but I'm picturing that right now.

EDIT: Referring to Dante's Peak.
 
Coppola's Stoker's Dracula.
Convoluted title. :huh:
 
Nearly all of The Brothers Grimm.

I'm glad you saw it.
And to make it even funnier, on a personal level...The only reason I saw it was that I worked at a movie theater at the time. The 2 managers and I were drinking heavily throughout the night, and when the last show went in, we were waiting for manager #1 to get off to go to this party.

So manager #2 and I went into the back of the Dante's Peak theater, wasted. We were howling with drunken laughter during the Grandma scene, and a woman came out and complained to manager #1.

He laughed and said, "okay"...but did nothing, so we were cracking up still and she ended up writing a letter to the regional manager complaining that people were laughing during "the saddest part of the movie" and the drunk manager did nothing.
Which made us laugh even harder. :)
 
Dante's Peak when Pierce's boss dies. Cant remember exactly by he got flung off a bridge or something into rushing water.

And i think I saw a movie a while back/ I was drunk and barely remember it, but I remember seeing someone use a shotgun as a bong and shot himself in the face while he tried to take a hit. That might have been made to be disturbingly funny though.
 
Ah, the prequels had a few
"Are you an angel"
"I hate sand."
"ONLY a Sith deals in absolutes."
- When Padme sits there by the rosy firelight in her low-cut Dominatrix gear heaving her breasts at Anakin telling him they can't be lovers.
 
When Obi-Wan and Yoda (or is it Mace Windu? :huh: ) are reviewing the footage of Anakin killing all the little Jedi. :woot:
I'm sorry, but that scene is incredibly funny. Ewan McGregor is a fabulous actor, but not even he could bring any sort of pathos to that scene.
 
I laughed my ass off at a lot of things in the first Grudge, first thing that comes to mind is when the girl pulls back the covers and the monster girl thing is laying on top her, mouth wide open, looking like she's about to go down on her.
 
Superman II

- When Non and Ursa are about to throw the bus, Superman says "No! Don't do it, the people!". When they focused on his face during the first part of the quote, I could swear he cracked a smile because he thought the whole thing was funny. They cut away and panned back to him and he was ultra-serious and back in the moment. Me + watching that scene = chuckling.

- Near the end, when Superman lifts Zod after he zapped their powers, you can see a sweat spot under his arm. I always got a laugh out of that.

Most of Emperor's scenes in ROTS.
His "No! No! No!" deal when confronted by Windu was hilarious.
 
Halloween 6 when the guy/girl I can't remember which is electrocuted so much that their head explodes. I busted out laughing in the theaters when it happened and this women down from us *****ed me out for laughing.

The obvious body double/voiceover for Luthor in the Fortress is so bad it makes the classic Godzilla look like Jurassic Park. :o
And it's hilarious. :woot:

Yeah, I couldn't stop laughing.

And also the same was with Anaking bowing to him. That was so dumb and unserious!

LMAO! never thought of it as dominatrix gear. I'll definitely have to watch it again! :D

damn...... I'll definitely have to watch it again. :(
 
Without a doubt the scene where Frodo and the hobbits were jumping around on the bed together.....that just creeps me out.
