What is the funniest single line in any movie?
Doesn’t have to be a great movie, or even a comedy.

Airplane has so many it’s hard to pick one.

The others that come to mind are very dependent on the context of the film. For example “nobody’s perfect” at the end if Some Like It Hot. Or Steve Martin’s “I couldn’t f*ck a gorilla” in The Man With Two Brains.

Over to you.

I always thought the summing up of Billy Madison's end quiz was so eloquently insulting and therefore hilarious.

“What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

"I thought you said that your dog didn't bite!"

"That is not my dog..."

One of the Pink Panther films. Can't remember which one, but the above exchange was between Clouseau and a hotel receptionist played by Graham Stark.

For some reason 'I have bulimia' followed by Zoolander's 'You can read people's minds?!' had me in tears first watch.

Too many to quote from Naked Gun films, or aeroplane.

To set the scene...

"You sold a dead bird to a blind kid? Petey didn't even have a head?"

"Harry, I took care of it"

Cuts to blind kid in a wheelchair stroking a dead bird with its head sellotaped on

"Pretty bird, pretty bird, Polly wanna cracker?"

That final line on my first watch of D&D had me rolling around and crying so much so that my Dad came to see if I was ok.

Even now I'm having to control myself and I'm at work.laugh

"You look like the kind of guy who'd fk a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around. I'll be watching you..."

I'm still in tears by the end of that scene every time.

Improvised too, according to legend.
