and that’s when you break welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for another top ten
scenes where actors couldn’t keep a
straight face in movies and TV before we
begin
we publish new content every day so be
sure to subscribe to our Channel and
ring the bell to get notified about our
latest videos for this list we’re taking
a look at scenes that were so funny that
the actors couldn’t help a crack-up
even if only fleetingly rather than
being banished to a blooper reel though
these instances ultimately made the cut
anyway we’re excluding any moments that
aired live number 10 the most annoying
sound in the world Dumb and Dumber we
but I’m gonna go with my instinct on
this one saddle up partner
some of the best bits from Dumb and
Dumber were improvised and the scene is
perhaps the most ingenious stuck in the
middle of Harry and Lloyds juvenile
antics henchmen mental tries to keep his
hostile tendencies under control just as
tensions begin to dwindle down Jim
Carrey randomly segues into making the
most annoying sound in the world Hey
well you’re the most annoying sound in
the camera cuts to mental frustrated
expressions so quickly that most viewers
miss Jeff Daniels biting his lips while
trying to restrain his laughter clearly
he had no idea what was coming
the film’s trailer actually gives us a
longer look at Daniels reaction as he
slowly collects himself and gets in on
the screaming match number nine son of a
bitch supernatural you know the things
cursed don’t you
you’d be surprised what some people
would pay for something like that really
it may be a supernatural drama but this
series sometimes catches the audience
off-guard with its sense of humor Jared
Padalecki was also caught off guard when
co-star Jensen Ackles delivered this
inspired bit of improv just as Sam and
Dean’s luck starts to turn around they
find that they’re winning tickets have
been stolen by Bela
according to padalecki the scene was
supposed to simply end with the
brother’s watching Bela drive off Ackles
decided to add a little something extra
however unleashing an unscripted
outburst so rich although padalecki does
his best to hide his reaction you can
still spot him licking his lips and
cracking and grin before turning his
head away from the camera number eight
the gang loses it It’s Always Sunny in
Philadelphia It’s Always Sunny has a
plethora of priceless outtakes but
sometimes you can catch the cast
breaking character in the final product
well there are too many instances to
single out just one creator and star Rob
McElhenney is perhaps the most
susceptible to cracking up I had him in
the palm of my hand and then he was gone
you know I mean I mean this guy would
have been perfect for you co-star
Charlie Day has also struggled to
maintain a straight face on occasion
although he usually tries to hide his
giggles from the camera we especially
loved this scene where the gang drowns
their sorrows hopping a jug of gasoline
don’t try this at home and Kaitlin Olson
says the most childishly brilliant line
imaginable as a peasant
none of the actors are able to keep it
together and we don’t blame them number
seven ice cream the ringer maybe I
should just accept the fact that I can’t
win stop lying to Lin and everybody else
arguably the funniest moment from this
comedy was ad-libbed
which seems to be a recurring theme for
this list the film centers on a man who
pretends to be mentally challenged in
order to compete in the Special Olympics
and eventually befriends his fellow
contenders after the guys stay up past
their curfew the person responsible for
them cooks up an excuse about getting
ice cream go ahead and blows their cover
though when he lets out this hilarious
line you stopped off for ice cream
wonderful then we get ice cream the
delivery is also pitch perfect as Glen
sounds genuinely confused and irritated
over the lack of ice cream it’s so
hysterical that star Johnny Knoxville
visually breaks out and laughter before
the camera cuts back to Katherine Heigl
did you kill ice cream number six I
hated the kernel so I married an axe
murderer this black comedy isn’t one of
Mike Myers more popular outings but it
does have a Scottish character who is
basically a predecessor to Shrek and fat
bastard would you like some chicken I’ve
got more so whenever the film shifts
focus to Stuart Mackenzie played by
Myers in a dual role the results are
always comedic gold Stuart is a
loudmouth conspiracy nut who believes
Colonel Sanders was part of an
all-powerful secret organization that
controls the world he also insists the
colonel sneaks an addictive chemical
into his chicken fed how can you hate
the colonel because he puts an addictive
chemical his chicken that makes you
clean it fortnightly smartass a Stewart
goes off on this insane tirade actor
Anthony LaPaglia does his best to sip
his beer and not along but just can’t
hold back his uncover noble smirk I
hated that Colonel with his wee beady
eyes and that smug look on his face oh
you’re gonna be my chicken Oh number
five
Jim Carrey strikes again on our
countdown with yet another improvised
scene weirdly enough this moment also
involves a chicken at a medieval
restaurant the Cable Guy sits down to a
meal with his new best friend Stephen
can I have your skin since Stephen isn’t
going to eat his chicken skin the Cable
Guy seizes the opportunity to play with
his food co-star Matthew Broderick is
completely unprepared as Carrie drapes
his face with the skin Andrea knocks a
scene from The Silence of the Lambs hey
it’s good to see you again as is the
case with much of the film the audience
isn’t sure whether to laugh or be
disturbed
it obviously tickled Broderick’s funny
bone however as he can’t conceal his
grin number four big-ass forehead fast
and furious 6 the car first car better
be a charger jack you mean skyline The
Fast and Furious movies might not have
the most complex characters but nobody
can deny that the chemistry between the
cast is nothing short of phenomenal it’s
always a blast watching these actors
work off of each other particularly in
this scene at a barbecue Roman makes a
crack about the macho Hobbs requiring
baby oil Dwayne Johnson retaliates with
an unscripted comeback about Romans
large forehead hey Mia you better hide
we’re Tyrese Gibson manages to stay in
character Chris Ludacris bridges is
unable to keep his drink down we
honestly never expected to see Ludacris
do a spit-take but that’s exactly why
this moment is such a happy accident
number three leather pants third Rock
from the Sun hello my god having spent
several seasons on SNL Jane Curtin knows
how to keep her cool under the funniest
of circumstances even she couldn’t stay
composed in this priceless third Rock
from the Sun scene though to complete
his gorgeous new look dick squeezes
himself into a pair of leather pants the
squeaking of the trousers is already
enough to push Curtin to the verge of
giggling
what was that
but when John Lithgow gets up and starts
walking around Curtin can no longer keep
her Snickers under wraps
what did Laurie say when you talked to
her the moment proves so humorous that
the camera cuts away as Curtin struggles
to deliver her next line then as Lithgow
exits the room she totally gives in to
[Applause]
number two biggest thickest Monty
Python’s Life of Brian let’s transition
from dick solomon to an even bigger
Dickus in this scene from life of brian
the extras playing the guards were
reportedly instructed not to laugh since
they weren’t aware how the scene was
going to play out
a soldier started chortling upon hearing
the name Biggus Dickus because Michael
Palin decided to roll with it
ordering the soldier to cease his
laughter Palin stretched a bit even
further approaching the other guards and
practically daring them not to laugh one
guard actually needs to suck in his
cheeks to prevent himself from busting a
gut
of course even Palin is barely able to
wrangle a smile stretching across his
number one supercops Beverly Hills Cop I
did not know what was going on I was
watching the show having fun the success
of this buddy cop comedy can largely be
attributed to Eddie Murphy and his
co-stars who had lived some of the
film’s funniest lines
apparently numerous takes were ruined
because the cast and crew couldn’t
contain themselves
Murphy reportedly took his first sip of
coffee ever before shooting this
improvised scene that would certainly
explain why Axel Foley sounds so
energized as he covers for detectives
rosewood and Taggert fully crafts a
phony story that paints his fellow
officers as super cops this I don’t know
what you teach these fellows but then
that just regular cops okay they’re
super cops actor John Ashton begins to
unravel after a while pinching and
lowering his face to keep his chuckles
inside fortunately he’s able to control
his emotions enough to scarcely get
through the scene do you agree with our
