number 10 the sneaky selfie
avengers age of ultron taking this spot
is
everyone's favorite billionaire playboy
and philanthropist
tony stark i might need to visit oslo
find our
unknown during the avengers pursuit of
the evil robot ultron
he heads up to the nexus internet hub in
oslo norway where we catch two young
computer scientists trying to sneak in a
selfie
with the billionaire whilst his back is
turned if you're paying attention to the
foreground
you likely didn't see this the first
time around i just
pay for everything and design everything
and make everyone look cooler
but it's not a surprising action on the
employees parts considering the level of
celebrity that the avengers have
in the mcu however you should always ask
before snapping a selfie with someone
it's just polite and stops you from
looking like a creep
even if that someone is iron man iron
man's what he's waiting for
that's true number nine eavesdropping
and a not so subtle getaway local hero
[Music]
in this bill forsyth 1983 comedy we see
peter riegert play
mack who is an up-and-coming oil
executive mack is tasked with traveling
to a small scottish village named
fairness
to buy the village people's land for his
company despite his initial reluctance
the young exec discovers a new lease on
life through the village people's
simpler small town ways in a pivotal
scene in the film we see
riegert alongside a young peter capaldi
as they discuss the sale of the village
with a local reverend
only to have the entire village's
population eavesdrop on the conversation
but news does tend to travel fast around
here
hilarity ensues when the town tries to
make an incognito getaway
though this doesn't go smoothly despite
their best efforts
it's a crime yeah
number eight pig explosion the lego
movie
your robots are no match for a master
builder but i
see everything
in phil lord and christopher miller's
the lego movie the film's heroes must
stop the tyrannical lord business and
his lieutenant bad cop
from gluing their worlds according to
his plans
the directing duo's work is filled with
a high level of attention to detail and
visual comedy as well as smart
background gags
and this film is no exception whoa are
we inside my brain right now
it's big i must be smart
i'm not hearing a lot of activity here
at one point emmett finds himself
along with wild style vitruvius and a
cute lego pig
being chased by bad cop and his forces
unfortunately when they crash into a
speeding train
the pig falls to a grisly death and
turns into a pile of sausages in the
process
it's a dark joke to be sure but one that
happens very fast
this is still a kid's movie after all
you're a very
perceptive person superman number seven
the drunk nun dogma cardinal get this
straight
you don't believe in god because of
alice in wonderland
in one of the darkest entries on this
list we see matt damon's character
loki speaking to a nun while at the
airport with loki being a real-life
angel
they surely have much to discuss however
the scene takes an unexpected turn when
loki convinces the nun to abandon her
faith in organized religion
and or god it's not too long after that
we see the nun again
but this time she's stumbling drunk out
of a bar it seems that she's taken
loki's advice
and turned to drinking to either seize
life's moments
deal with the existential crisis she is
going through
or both while we don't see a resolution
to this story it's clear that this
character
won't ever be the same again let it
never be said that your anal retentive
attention to detail never yielded
positive results
number six hans name
fast five han
you're up sure
nothing like the easy stuff in the fifth
installment of the fast and furious
franchise we see an almost superhero
style team-up featuring many of the
previous movies casts
the fan favorite character in this
lineup is arguably han
played by song kang han first appears in
fast and furious tokyo drift but two
movies later we see diplomatic security
service agent luke hobbs
trying to get info on dominic and
brian's crew hans's full name is listed
on screen as
han solo which is clearly a nod to
harrison ford's star wars character
han solo i'm captain of the millennium
falcon
though it's implied that this isn't his
real name but merely an alias
with han louie being generally accepted
this link between the hans
likely hasn't been lost on fans who've
surely found it both confusing
and amusing we can do this can't
i mean shouldn't number five the
writings on the wall
hot fuzz well however you spin this
there's one thing you haven't taken into
account
and that's what the team is gonna make
of this
english filmmaker edgar wright's three
flavors cornetto trilogy is filled with
hundreds of smart visual comedy moments
one of the best of these comes in the
second installment of the series
2007's hot fuzz when entering his new
sleepy countryside police station
newly promoted sergeant nicholas angel
is introduced to his new colleagues
including sergeant tony fisher behind
him we see a whiteboard where several
not so flattering words are shown
the way he and the words are positioned
makes them look like they're actually
describing the police man himself
the truth of which we'll discover later
on
this is truly a well-hidden moment
lasting just a few frames
but it stands as a testament to just how
well-made
and re-watchable wright's films are very
good what
he said number four bagel time
spider-man into the spider-verse step
six i grab a bagel from the cafeteria
and run in 2018's groundbreaking
spider-man into the spider-verse peter
parker and miles morales find themselves
attempting to steal
data from doc ock's office while trying
to make their escape
miles throws a bagel at one of the
pursuers selecting a bagel
acts super normal as the bread product
flies to the air it strikes a scientist
trying to pursue them
in a nod to early comic books we see the
word
bagel appear above his head creating a
blank and you'll miss it moment of
comedy gold
this computer animated flick is filled
with these little touches
and is partly the reason it was such a
commercial and critical success
i love you i'm so proud number three
the tale of the ginger witch the harry
potter franchise
look at this
i can't believe it she's done it again
in the harry potter film series
the filmmakers have left many easter
eggs and small details that give us more
insight into the rich and vibrant
wizarding world though this one will
perhaps be new to even the most
die-hard potterhead throughout the
movies we frequently see newspaper
montages used for exposition
hidden within them is the tale of the
ginger witch
show him we'll find out soon enough
she's a hardened criminal with
wig theft a henna explosion and even a
stint in azkaban prison on her rap sheet
with her list of crimes beginning to
rival lord voldemort let's hope she's
brought to justice one day
justice number two
escupimos ensue alimento anchorman
the legend of ron burgundy in this
classic will ferrell comedy we see ron
burgundy
aka the titular anchorman feeling
threatened by an up-and-coming female
anchor veronica corningstone
you read my news i told you that i
wanted to be an
anchor i told you that i
thought you were kidding this
intelligent battle of the sexes style
comedy is filled with many great
background jokes
one of the best ones comes moments
before veronica and her friends are
about to share a meal
have you ever thought about fighting
fire
with fire in order to transition to the
scene we're shown a sign
written in spanish for the restaurant in
question which reads
escupimos ensue alimento this roughly
translated to we spit on your food in
english it's a great gag for anyone
with some basic spanish though most like
the characters in the movie will likely
remain
oblivious to the joke you know i don't
speak spanish

number one roadside interrogation
men in black you come with me reg
and um and you handle this what me
yeah it's easy you just catch this
moment can be described as one of
complete comedic genius while tommy lee
jones's agent k
questions a friendly alien we see will
smith's agent j
simultaneously helping and fighting off
a tentacled monster alien who's about to
give birth
in the background it's case total lack
of care juxtaposed with jay's complete
terror that makes the scene so humorous
in fact it's this straight man slash
funnyman routine
teamed up with the natural chemistry
between the two actors that has helped
make
men in black such a successful comedy
overall plus this particular scene ends
with a cute alien baby
meaning everyone can go away happy well
everyone except jay perhaps
actually
