Dalton's final fate in Hot Fuzz, although I was the only one howling in the theater so that might just be me.

The scene with MacGruber's team in the car on the runway.
I'm noticing a pattern here.

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!'

A pretty good one from recent years was the comic/erotic scene being filmed in Dolomite Is My Name where the crew themselves all erupt in laughter after the cut.

Probably the scene from Lebowski where he asks the cop if they have any leads as to who stole his car. That's the one my kids and I laugh about the most, anyway.

hardest I've ever laughed in the theater was during Fast Five, there's this scene where the crew is gathering intel on the FBI agent who is chasing them, who happens to be noted WWE Superstar The Rock. they hack into the government database or whatever and pull up his employee profile and in his official government photo he is doing The People's Eyebrow. idk if that was supposed to be a joke but it really made me laugh.

^^ 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, one of the babershop scenes from Coming To America (are the bit were they argue about how old Joe Louis is and the bit about meeting MLK the same scene?), the boardroom scene from The Magic Christian

I can’t really quantify personally, but It was definitely wild and memorable to be in a movie theater at 18 years old for Something About Mary in those fleeting few days before people knew about the big jizz reveal.

to think how big of a deal that scene was, like I remember being "holy shit cum, in hair, in a mainstream movie?" and now like if that same scene appeared in your average raucous big summer comedy, it'd be like the 17th most audacious thing
― the manwich horror (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 13 June 2023 17:38 (ten months ago) link
as a teen I used to enjoy watching adults break down into screaming children in high intensity situations, so the scene in Nothing to Lose where Martin Lawrence/Tim Robbins and the two robbers are screaming "shut the fuck up", "no, YOU shut the fuck up" over and over back at teach other had me howling .
idk if I'd find it funny now cos it'd just feel like being at work.

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."
