Or should it be the sight of Anne Robinson's arse in that leather catsuit on tonights
Weakest Link.

Who the hell in wardrobe told her to wear that?

Sorry no picture available as this would make it qualify for scariest thread.

Mr. Bean. Any of it. All of it.

[touchingcloth]

Sightly obvious one but I did piss myself first time I saw it :

[anhamgrimmar]

'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.

'this parrot is dead!'

[ADDYBOY1982]

Anything from Monty Python's Flying Circus, specifically the Dead Parrot, 'I Want To Have An Argument', Hell's Grannies, John Cleese reading the news....oh sod it the whole lot is funny!

[ZR1cliff]

Classic Scene


Manuel sees the rat scurrying past him, catches it and just after he has carefully hidden it in the biscuit tin, Mr Carnegie orders some cheese and biscuits! Basil’s world is about to collapse around him as, not knowing the biscuit tin now contains one large rodent, he proudly whips the lid of the biscuit tin right under Mr Carnegie’s nose to reveal the rat, sitting up, staring Mr Carnegie in the face…

“Care for a rat!” says Basil nonchalantly to a dumbfounded Mr Carnegie who can’t quite believe what he is seeing.

Basil makes his final exit, being dragged feet first out of the dining room by Manuel, and no doubt straight off to the funny farm. Once the rat is whisked out of the tin Polly offers it again to a still stunned public health inspector, who isn't quite sure if he did indeed see a rat peeking at him from a biscuit tin. Sybil casually announces it has started to rain again and the credits roll.

... a coy, geeky Rowan Atkinson waggling a finger at a street camera before walking into a lamppost ....

And the follow-up one where you think it's going to happen again - but he sees it in teh nick of time and then falls into a cellar.

And theres tons of Dads Army scenes too.

I'd choose the unscripted moments, such a streaker walking across the set behind a newsreader, or a reporter getting an ear pecked by an irritated ostrich.

Newsreader in the street, gabbering on about something serious... On the roof behind her, two pigeons, the male going to the female "I want a shag, I want a shag, I want a shag" all the way through the item.
ETA: What Terry Pratchett says about birdsong in "Monstrous Regiment" is absolutely true

yeah nice one. I saw a clip of them on some daytime TV programme a few days later which was just as funny.
they were moaning about that Simon bloke and at the end the skinny one said "I'd still do im though"
