Has a hilarious movie scene ever put you in serious danger of dying from laughter [or otherwise]?
.
The following scene from the Pink Panther Strikes Again (especially the part where Peter Sellers falls off the Parallel Bars – LMAO) almost cost me my life a few years back. … As he fell off the parallel bars, I started laughing so uncontrollably that I fell off the chair and hit my head against the table [incredibly HARD, mind you] – and STILL couldn’t stop laughing! … Comedy almost sent me to an early grave! … How about you: Which movie scene(s) made you laugh so hard that you felt like if you don’t stop laughing you might die of laughter or hurt yourself in some way?

There are several that have brought me in close contact with my Maker….
from ‘The Producers"- the original- Springtime for Hitler and Germany song and the audition for the part of Hitler.
Though not from a movie I have to mention SNL- "Down By the River Skit" and Monty Python- the dead parrot skit and the Minister of Silly Walks and of course, the "Lumbar Jack song", from the BBC series. Also several part from the Holly Grail (the bunny scene, the French castle scene, etc.), Young Frankenstein-(Putting on the Ritz), Blazing Saddles (the famous beans scene).
Peter Sellers in Being There- the scene where he asks a woman on the stree to make him lunch.
George C Scott explaining our nuclear chances against the Russians and Peter Sellers listening to Sterling Hayden disussing our precious bodily fluids.
Laurell and Hardy- moving a piano up several flights of stairs
Peter Falk in the Princess Bride, Lee Marvin’s drunken gunplay in Cat Ballou.
Severe chuckles to Eddie Murphy in BowFinger, Kevin Kline in A Fish Called Wanda and many many more.
And finally the one that has me laughing as I write this… Peter Falk and Alan Arkin with the drug-smuggling President of a South american country- as he proudly unveils his new Presidential portrait- a very large picture of himself in full military uniform standing next to a naked prostitute

I’m embarrassed to admit this one because I hate all of the nasty bodily function humor in too many movies. However, this one IS very funny and had me laughing so hard that I was crying and my ribs were hurting. It takes place in "18 Fingers of Death!", a mockumentary about a martial artist: Buford Lee (James Lew).
One of Buford’s friends explains how he went from being a bodybuilding, gorgeous actor to what he really loves being: a cook~a very large cook. It seems that the film Buford is costarring in with a major martial arts star (portrayed by a hilarious Lorenzo Lamas) is nearly finished. In celebration, the cook creates a huge banquet of Mexican specialties, with lots of refried beans. After the lunch break, they go back to shooting their ultra-dramatic fight scene.
Yes. It happens~to everyone from the hero to the beautiful girl to Buford himself! Instead of seeming nasty, tacky and distasteful, it is hysterically funny! I never expected to find myself responding to this whacky scene, but then I’d been laughing so much during the whole film! I’ve heard other people slam "18 Fingers of Death!", but if you enjoy "Kung Fu Hustle" and "Shaolin Soccer", treat yourself this to crazy comedy that’s really sweet, too. All of the martial artists get equal lampooning, as do the traditions of these films. When a spoof is done with love, it really works.

Ohh yes, many times…
The one that comes to mind is the naked hotel fight scene in Borat….

LOL I love Peter Sellers …
The first time I saw this scene in Planes, Trains and Automobiles, I laughed so hard I literally couldn’t breathe for about 10 minutes. The clip is below; Steve Martin and John Candy are making a getaway in a rental car that John Candy had accidentally torched the night before.

LOL! Oh you found it! I’m still laughing. I saved it. It’s priceless. I remember, too, when I first saw this. I laughed so hard, and long after the scene ended.
A funny scene that popped into my mind was in an old Woody Allen flick. He is set up on a blind date and trying to be suave and debonaire a la Peter Sellers. He picks up a record album (remember those?) and waves it about, telling the young woman how avante garde it is. As he is waving the album, the record flies out, across the room, and smashes against a wall. It was so funny. I screamed out loud in the theatre.

No, a hilarious movie scene never put me in serious danger of dying from laughter. Point of fact, I’m not that easy to get rid of.
The scene that came closest was the John Candy "Mess Around" scene!
I’m recalling my all time favorite hilarious movie scene. It was in "TRAINS PLANES & AUTOMOBILES" with Steve Martin.
Co-star John Candy can’t get his coat off, while driving at high speed, with his seat belt on.
In this scene he throws his cigarette out an open window; but the breeze brings it back into the car, and onto the back seat,
where it burns up their rented vehicle, with all the credit cards in the wallet in the glove compartment.
Along the way he drives the wrong way on the freeway after spinning out of contol, and mocks the drivers (for bending their elbows too much drinking) who are in the right lane, who are trying to signal him that he’s "driving the wrong way!"
The rented vehicle squeezed between two oncoming transport trucks, as Candy is mocked & haunted by a death symbol, and the devil (played by Candy) who is splitting his gut laughing at the whole scene…like I was.
The thing Candy saves from this disaster in a huge trunk of shower ring samples, that he has to use for money now, as they are forced to drive a burned out vehicle with not one working gage, but the radio works.
John Candy and I were both born here in Ontario in 1950. I was his biggest fan.
I remember where I was, and what I was doing, the very moment I heard of his death…like JFK and 9-11.
That was a classic movie scene, although Candy never put me in serious danger of dying from laughter.
Some people are just hard to get rid of.

The old movie "Used Cars" still makes me laugh until I cry

The Woody Allen film mentioned was "Play It Again Sam", where Woody is being coached by the ‘ghost’ of Humphrey Bogart.
I know its not a movie, but there was a BBC comedy series called ‘The Goodies" which had an episode called "Ecky thump" (a spoof of the old David Carradine show "Kung Fu".)
On 24th March 1975 a man from Kings Lynn in Norfolk started laughing at it, and after 25 minutes of continuous laughter had a heart attack and died.

Something About Mary: the scene with the dog. I couldn’t breathe I was laughing so hard and I couldn’t see b/c I actually was crying-laughing. It almost hurt it was so funny the first time I saw it.

Randomly, the first one I thought of was the scene in The Graduate, as Benjamin attempts to be smooth while checking into a hotel for the first time. I couldn
