I'm torn between the Young Frankenstein scene that slutsky mentioned and the Super Troopers opening nickalicious mentioned. On the one hand, I think Young Frankenstein is a funnier movie, while Super Troopers -- although I liked it -- never reaches the superhilarity of those first five minutes. On the other hand, nickalicious is an adjective, and slutsky is not.Since none of those things are really relevant, I'll call it a tie.

Not sure if it's the funniest scenes but the one that pops into my head is a tiny part of the first Cheech and Chong movie where (IIRC) they go to meet a slightly manic, paranoid weed dealer and at one point they step out through the front door onto the plain suburban street and he says 'Will ya look at that - THE GREEEAT OUTDOORS!'

From Charade:
Peter Joshua: Do we know each other?Regina Lampert: I already know an awful lot of people, and until one of them dies, I couldn't possibly meet anyone else.Peter Joshua: Well, if anyone goes on the critical list, let me know.
I can still get a chuckle from the "Romans Go Home" Latin lesson.
Airplane!'s Jive scenes work for me. Not only because the Jive was completely invented, by the actors, for the movie - but also because of the completely deadpan subtitles. I will not credit the Zuckerwhatevers with being tasteful and sensitive filmic artists, but I thought that the handling of the Jive scenes worked. Similarly the "What's a Nubian?" bit from Chasing Amy.
But mostly for me and my family we can trade lines from Charade forever. Or the Muppet Movie ("That's a myth!" "Yeth?"). Ditto Top Secret, Auntie Mame, Better Off Dead. "Gee, Ricky, I'm sorry your mom blew up."

^^ this was the first thing that came to mind for me when I saw the thread title.
Or maybe the "I want out of the marriage!" scene from The Heartbreak Kid.
also the "would that it were so simple" bit from Hail Caesar
the waitress scene from Jerry Lewis's Cracking Up is another favourite, and I think that these are maybe all funny in similar way: two people having a strained conversation where they are not really connecting or communicating, at least one of them is dying inside

The Heartbreak Kid/"I want out of the marriage!" scene is so great in how it starts out with Jeannie Berlin oblivious and Grodin dying inside while he tries to get his point across, and then when she realizes what's happening it switches to him being oblivious and her dying inside (and of course he perks up once he has the chance to get into his sales pitch about why this is actually a good thing for both of them), like she's contingently oblivious where he's essentially oblivious
