Television Results[edit] The 50 Funniest Scenes in the History of Film. By Dustin Rowles | Guides | April 22, 2011 | Comments (0 View Coming up with the 50 funniest scenes in the history of cinema turned out to be much easier than I expected, thanks to the stellar efforts of our readership, who essentially nominated hundreds of clips to choose from. Narrowing it down to 50 was another matter, and then attempting to rank them in order of hilariousness was an almost impossible task. But we rank, therefore we are. There's not a lot of fun to be had in a perfect list; it forecloses the possibility of discussion.
And if I haven't left off a few of your favorite scenes, then you haven't seen enough comedies, and if you're completely happy with the way these scenes are ranked, you are either an idiot, separated at me from birth, or both.

How else to describe the amount of films that request us to root for any allegedly adorable misfit whose passion is clearly delusional? Will Donner (Tom Sturridge), now well into his 20s, has structured his existence round his passion for Emma Twist (Rachel Bilson), the childhood closest friend/sweetheart he last spoke to once they were in elementary school.
