00:00You are tearing me apart, Lisa!
00:02Why are you so hysterical?
00:04Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the funniest movie scenes that were meant to be taken seriously.
00:10We'll be getting into spoilers, so consider this your warning.
00:13What is that? What is that? What is it?
00:16Oh, no, not the beast!
00:19Number 10, Earth Moving Backwards, Superman.
00:30There's no denying that this movie is one of the greatest comic book films of all time, but not everything about it is a standout.
00:37You don't even care where the other missile's headed, do you?
00:42Certainly I do.
00:45I know exactly where it's headed.
00:47Hackensack, New Jersey.
00:51For example, the scene in which Superman decides to undo Lois Lane's death is iconic for all the wrong reasons.
00:57He achieves this by flying around the planet in such a way that he reverses its rotations and essentially goes back in time.
01:07It's a stunning display of his power.
01:09At least, that was the idea.
01:10The entire act, however, just looks a bit goofy.
01:13Maybe it's the complete ridiculousness of how he went back in time,
01:16or maybe it's the constipated look on his face as he soars through the skies.
01:19Either way, this Superman scene is super corny.
01:22Number 9, Darth Vader shouting no.
01:25Star Wars Episode 3, Revenge of the Sith.
01:27Darth Vader is a lot of things.
01:29An expert swordsman, a master of the Force, one of the greatest Sith Lords of all time.
01:34What he's not is somebody who's good at conveying emotions.
01:37When he discovers that his wife Padme was killed, he belches out one single word.
01:45It's a moment where this Dark Lord wallows in his pity.
01:48However, the way he says no is so over the top, it borders on parody.
01:52He screams like a toddler who doesn't want to take a nap.
01:55It's just like how Anakin delivers that line about not liking sand.
01:58I don't like sand.
02:01It's coarse and rough and irritating.
02:05Sorry, but there's no way we could take this seriously.
02:07The fact that this scene has been a meme for decades only proves that.
02:11Number 8, Emo Peter Parker, Spider-Man 3.
02:18In the third installment of the Raimi trilogy, Peter Parker gets infected by the Venom symbiote,
02:23which causes ripples across both his regular life and his life as Spider-Man.
02:26In fact, he undergoes a radical personality change.
02:29Your shots are so good.
02:31I'd love to show you sometime.
02:34Peter Parker.
02:36Instead of busting down bank robbers, he's busting out sick dance moves.
02:40Instead of web-slinging, he's hair-whipping.
02:42Bully Maguire, as he's been dubbed by the internet, is a hysterical glimpse at a Spider-Man with no moral compass.
02:47But you've got to admit, the whole thing is pretty funny.
02:50I'll pay you the usual rate.
02:52If you want the shots, I'll take the staff job.
02:56Double the money.
02:57Sure, he's a jerk, but he's an entertaining jerk.
03:00You can't help but laugh every time he tries to get people's attention,
03:02with his signature hair and signature attitude.
03:05Careful, or else he'll put some dirt in your eye.
03:07I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye.
03:11Number 7, Why Kate Hates Christmas.
03:14Gremlins.
03:15Talk about a scene that comes straight out of left field.
03:17As the gang tries stopping the mayhem made by the gremlins, Kate, played by Phoebe Cates,
03:21interrupts everything so that she can rant about why she hates Christmas.
03:24She delivers a wild tangent about how they found her dad dead in their chimney dressed as Santa Claus,
03:29and that's why she dislikes the holiday.
03:31The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas.
03:35Oh god, it was so horrible.
03:41Um, okay.
03:43There's a time and place to discuss something like this, but it's not now.
03:46The sudden complaint about Christmas is so laughably bizarre,
03:49you cannot but wonder if it's supposed to be a joke.
03:51The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire,
03:55and that's when I noticed the smell.
03:58It'd be like if Ripley took a break during Alien to complain to the Nostromo crew about Thanksgiving.
04:03Many viewers were baffled by the scene's inclusion, and rightfully so.
04:06And me and mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird,
04:10and instead they pulled out my father.
04:12Would you be able to tell that this is an Academy Award winning actress from this clip alone?
04:23Neither could we.
04:24In her final moments, Talia al Ghul fails to bring Gotham to its knees.
04:28There's no way this bomb will be stopped.
04:34Not long after that, she passes on.
04:36Unfortunately, there's hardly any intensity to this scene.
04:39She pretty much just closes her eyes and turns her head, and that's it.
04:42It's a cheesy piece of acting that fell flat with audiences everywhere.
04:46My father's work is done.
04:49Even Marion Cotillard wasn't a fan of this scene.
04:57Talia should have been remembered as the heiress to the League of Shadows,
05:00and an enemy who nearly killed Batman.
05:02And though I'm not ordinary,
05:05I'm a citizen.
05:08Unfortunately for her, she's mostly known as the character with the most anticlimactic death in history.
05:13Number 5. Fake Baby.
05:14American Sniper.
05:15Make no mistake about it.
05:17This is a serious film that explores mature themes surrounding PTSD.
05:21However, there's one part of American Sniper that's not like the rest.
05:24I'm making memories by myself.
05:29I have no one to share them with.
05:30When Chris is holding his newborn daughter in his arms,
05:33he's really just holding a prop.
05:34It's so glaringly obvious, you have to wonder what they were thinking.
05:38It's really hard to get reinvested in Chris and Talia's conversation
05:41when you're thinking to yourself,
05:42was that baby a plastic doll?
05:43If you think this war isn't changing you, you're wrong.
05:47The fake infant was so hard to ignore,
05:51that the internet had a collective frenzy over it.
05:53Next time, maybe just stick with the real deal.
05:56It's true.
05:56Number 4. Getting hit by a car.
06:07Meet Joe Black.
06:08Maybe we're not supposed to laugh at Brad Pitt getting run over,
06:11but with the way this scene plays out,
06:12how can we not?
06:13It starts off innocently enough,
06:22with two characters staring at each other longingly,
06:24but things quickly take a turn.
06:26Our leading man is fatally struck by multiple cars.
06:29Thankfully, the Final Destination-style way that he dies
06:31is actually only a setup for the rest of the movie.
06:33You are?
06:36Yes.
06:43Who am I?
06:44Still, the escalation of horrific events is just too funny.
06:48Things have never gone off the rails quicker than they did in this 90s drama.
06:51It's slapstick at its finest.
06:53Oh, boy. Okay.
06:55Now I gotta go, so...
06:59Yep. Understood.
07:01Number 3. The Martha Scene.
07:02Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice.
07:04The Martha debacle is one of the DCEU's most monumental missteps.
07:08In theory, it's not a bad scene.
07:10Batman is reminded of Superman's humanity,
07:12and in turn, how much he's lost his own.
07:14But the execution was a blunder of epic proportions.
07:17What does that mean?
07:20Why did you say that name wrong?
07:21They beat the crud out of each other,
07:23but stopped because their moms have the same name.
07:25What makes it worse is that Superman could have just said
07:28his mother's name was Martha right at the start.
07:30Why did you say that name?
07:33Martha, why did you say that name?
07:35If he did that, they might not have started fighting in the first place.
07:38Audiences couldn't help but chuckle over this clumsy conclusion to the two's bickering.
07:42Not surprisingly, this moment has been forever immortalized in pop culture
07:45as one of the Internet's many punching bags.
07:51Number 2.
07:51Malice is faked.
07:52The Wicker Man.
07:53There's absolutely nothing funny about Edward Malice being tortured to death.
07:57At least, there shouldn't be.
07:58I don't believe in your guns!
08:01I don't believe in sacrifice!
08:03No, no, don't move me!
08:22What is it?
08:25What is it?
08:25On paper, being turned into a ritualistic sacrifice is gruesome.
08:29So with that said, why does this clip look like we're watching a comedy?
08:32Oh, no, not the bees!
08:34Not the bees!
08:36Ah!
08:38Oh, my eyes!
08:39My eyes!
08:40Nicolas Cage's classic overacting is on full display here,
08:43which makes what should be a grim moment a zany masterpiece.
08:47We're not crying because his death is traumatic.
08:49We're crying because it's making us laugh to the point of tears.
08:52Bees.
08:53So many bees!
08:54Oh, no, not the bees!
08:57Not the bees!
08:58Ah!
08:58Oh, no, my eyes!
09:01My eyes!
09:02This probably wasn't the reaction the filmmakers were expecting,
09:05but the scene has become a legendary reminder of the beautiful chaos that is Nicolas Cage.

09:241. Johnny's Death. The Room
09:29This whole movie is one giant, unintentional comedy.
09:32I did not hit her. It's not true. It's bullshit. I did not hit her. I did not.
09:38Oh, hi, Mark.
09:39From Johnny's rant that he didn't hit Lisa, to his emotional outburst about it later,
09:43the moments go on and on.
09:44But what takes the cake in the end is Johnny's death.
09:47Grief-stricken over losing his greatest love, Johnny decides to take his own life.
09:51Why? Why is this happening?
09:53Why? Why? It's over.
09:57Depression and the consequences of it are by no means a joke and should be portrayed delicately.
10:02Unfortunately, this movie doesn't know how to do that.
10:05Remember, this is actually supposed to be a drama, but everything about it is so cheesy.
10:09By the time this ending happens, there's no way we can take this moment seriously.
10:13I killed him.
10:14Mark, we're free to be together.
10:17I love you.
10:19I love you.
10:22Tramp.
10:23Yeesh.
10:24Rip Johnny.
10:25Is there another unintentionally hilarious moment we forgot?
10:28Spread the laughter down in the comments.
10:30And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus.
