yeah baby
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
funniest opening scenes in movies
great success for this list we'll be
looking at the most hilarious moments
that kicked off films while not all
these movies are entirely comedic these
openings are all intentionally
uproarious what opening scene makes you
crack up let us know in the comments
number 10 super troopers cult cop comedy
super troopers is arrestingly funny from
the very start a trio of stoners are
spotted by vermont state troopers thorny
and rabbit in a panic one of them eats
their stash including some
mushrooms it
come on man special
when they're pulled over things start
off tense and soon become utterly
surreal especially for our intoxicated
passenger a high-speed chase then
commences and things get even weirder
from there hello
you boys like mexico it's pretty clear
that these troopers and their colleagues
aren't particularly good at protecting
or serving the community but they can
definitely serve up some laughs
what's green
nobody
okay no green number nine deadpool
oh
oh hello
i know right well most superhero movies
have moments of levity few aim to make
you laugh from beginning to end the way
deadpool does storing ryan reynolds as
the merc with a mouth the film
immediately establishes its irreverent
tone the opening credits alone are
hysterical crediting the cast and
creators not by name but by things like
god's perfect idiot then we get a great
introduction to deadpool in which he
rides in a cab on the way to get some
much-needed revenge that's uh
27.50 i never carry wallet while i'm
working ruins the lines of my suit oh
but uh how about uh chris high five
okay
merry christmas in terms of honor he
might not be a superman or batman but
this opening proves deadpool is
stupendously funny i'm gonna do this the
old-fashioned way with two swords
and maximum effort
hear the music number eight bring it on
great choreography and big laughs come
together for the opening of this
cheerleading comedy
at a pep rally we meet the cheerleading
squad at rancho carne high school and
newly crowned captain torrance shipman
played by kirsten dunst
but torence's joy soon turns to horror
as she's humiliated in front of the
entire school thankfully it's all a bad
dream complete with a classic waking up
from a bad dream pose this opening
establishes that the film is both about
cheerleading and that it's incredibly
funny as well two four six eight what do
we appreciate this opening number seven
the other guys
an action movie starring samuel l
jackson and dwayne johnson is definitely
a promising concept and the other guys
delivers on that idea at least for a few
minutes did uh someone call 911
jackson and johnson's hot shot
detectives pursue some suspects in a
scene that parodies over-the-top cop
movies as it turns out the crime doesn't
justify the millions of dollars in
damage caused by their pursuit that
still doesn't stop them from being
ridiculously cocky of course suspects
were caught with only a quarter pound of
marijuana a misdemeanor in some states
do you think this arrest was worth 12
million in property damages why don't we
let new york city answer that question
they might not be in the movie for long
but we cherish the little time we do get
with them number six scary movie
hello wanna have a little fun
who is this tell me your name and i'll
tell you mine i don't think so
what's that noise oops i farted i i
didn't think you would hear me when we
first saw a scary movie we all felt like
we were having some deja vu someone
receives a creepy call late at night and
ends up murdered
didn't we see that a few years ago but
while the scary movie opening imitates
that of scream it leans in a far more
comedic direction the appropriately
named drew played by carmen elektra
answers a stranger's question about her
favorite scary movie and gives a truly
terrifying response i know um kazam you
know the one where shaq plays a genie
that's not a horror movie well you
haven't seen shaq act before long she's
running from the killer and meeting a
memorable end violence and comedy don't
always work well together but scary
movies opening is so irreverent and full
of gags that well it's a scream
number five reservoir dogs the name
quentin tarantino didn't mean much to
most moviegoers who bought a ticket to
see his first feature but with its
opening scene reservoir dogs establishes
itself as a different kind of crime
movie and its director as a different
kind of filmmaker at a diner a group of
guys in suits discuss madonna is not
about some sensitive girl who needs that
nice fella
that's what your blue's about no brandon
no argument about that this one's true
blue oh you ain't her true gloves big
ass
but it's when the bill comes that the
debate really starts mr pink played by
steve buscemi refuses to tip and
explains his reasoning come on throw in
a book
uh-uh i don't tip
you don't tip
no i don't believe in it
you don't believe in tipping you might
not agree with his rationale but it's
riveting to experience tarantino's
dialogue which manages to be clever
while feeling authentic his first scene
was a great one and he's had plenty more
sense
you know what this is
it's the world's smallest violin playing
just for the waitresses number four
pineapple express
look at any of that pineapple express oh
chris
it's getting snicker fits so many
memorable movie moments happen when the
filmmakers get truly weird like in the
opening to this pot comedy in an
underground lab an army private is given
a special substance that causes him to
act disrespectful towards authority and
the substance is declared illegal why
are we underground right now sir
why can't we be out in the open why
aren't we in a square right now why
aren't we talking to people letting them
know item nine exists
get it out shout out the rooftops
this is great while this is a not quite
accurate history lesson on how marijuana
was outlawed it is the perfect way to
start the movie bill hader is hysterical
as a defiant but doomed private miller
and the spoofing of old thrillers is
pitch perfect pineapple express kicks
off on a high note you do you have the
easiest job on earth
you do smoke weed all day
you didn't think of that number three
full metal jacket if you ladies leave my
island if you survive recruit training
you will be a weapon you will be a
minister of death praying for war
but until that day you are puked for the
most part stanley kubrick's masterpiece
about u.s marines training at boot camp
and fighting in vietnam is gravely
serious and its opening isn't exactly
relaxing but through the tension it
manages to be incredibly funny a drill
sergeant played by ali ermey sizes up
the newest batch of recruits giving them
demeaning nicknames and saying things we
can't possibly mention here did your
parents have any children that lived sir
yes sir how about they regret that
you're so ugly you could be a modern art
masterpiece it's on pc but also
unforgettable ermey an actual drill
sergeant who was initially hired as a
consultant improvised his famous remarks
lending to the authenticity of the
moment we'd hate to be in sergeant
hartman's barracks but we love to be in
his audience what's your excuse sir
excuse for what sir number two borat
yet
my name is
i like you
i like sex
it's nice in 2006 borat was everywhere
but considering how great the first
scene of this movie was we certainly
didn't mind in the opening of this
mockumentary we meet the kazakhstani
journalist in his home village and learn
about his neighbors and family this is
natalia
[Music]
she's my sister it's not exactly the
most wholesome environment but borat's
local pride and upbeat attitude warm our
hearts as well as make us laugh the
comedic genius of sasha baron cohen is
well known at this point but for many of
us this scene is where we first began to
recognize it

number one tropic thunder
who left the fridge open
global meltdown on a typical movie going
night if you're lucky you might see one
memorable trailer tropic thunder ups the
ante with three great trailers and a
ridiculous energy drink commercial the
only catch is
they're all fake instead of a typical
comedy opening scene this hollywood
satire went straight for the jugular
parodying movie trends like oscar bait
and gross out comedies
five-time academy award winner kirk
lazarus
[Music]
and mtv movie award best kiss winner
toby mcguire the effort put into these
fake trailers is more than the amount
put into most movies and as ridiculous
as some of these movies look we also
secretly want to see all of them this
isn't just a funny opening it's the
funniest
