come on imagine you on premiere night
two shot you and jason
you're crying on the roller coaster
crowd cheering
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
behind the scenes secrets and comedies
that make the movie funnier
i look like a nerdy hillbilly for this
list
we're looking at real-life filming
details that add to our overall
enjoyment of the movie moments in
question
which of these gave you a good chuckle
and did you try to reenact our number 10
entry
no kelly clarkson hope not tell us in
the comments
number 10 steve carell actually got his
chest waxed
the 40 year old virgin
steve carell outdid himself with the
scene one of the most hilarious and
memorable of his career
watching andy get his mane of chest hair
painfully removed is nothing short of
comedic gold
that one hurt that one hurt just as much
as the first one
carell's performance is absolutely
masterful because of course it was 100
real
the only person he has to blame for the
anguish he experienced is himself
as he was the one who insisted they use
his real chest hair
director judd apatow shot the scene in
one take using five cameras
so the reactions you see on screen are
entirely genuine
it would appear that the old adage great
art comes from great pain
is legit you know what guys this is not
a good look for me
number nine jeremy renner broke both his
arms during a stunt
tag feeling trapped jerry
nice acting can be a tough gig don't let
anybody tell you otherwise
just ask jeremy renner who broke both
his arms while performing a stunt for
the movie tag
the stunt required renner to fall with a
stack of 20-foot high chairs
ultimately landing safely on the ground
the problem
renner fell but the rigging failed and
yeah did you when did you did you know
it was bad like once
i knew i got to hit the ground that it
it's uh it wasn't good
with their stars seriously banged up the
production had to get creative
so they outfitted renner with a pair of
green screen sleeves to cover his casts
and added a set of computer generated
arms in post-production
hoagie's attempts to face me fail
because he lacks confidence
so for part of the movie renner's arms
aren't even his own
number eight four murray brothers one
movie
scrooged working with family can be a
tricky endeavor
especially on a film you invite him to
christmas dinner every year
and every year he's too busy to come and
when are you gonna learn
well never he's he's my brother however
when said family members have this many
acting credits between them
it can definitely make the job more
manageable such was the case for bill
murray
who along with his three brothers brian
doyle murray joel murray and
john murray appeared in the 1988
christmas comedy scrooge
but daddy i have santa choo-choo
well then go out and get a job and buy
it should you
in the film brian plays bill's father in
a flashback
jon plays his brother no surprise there
and joel plays a guest at a party
look i got a great brother look at this
guy here my brother james look how cute
he was back then
now that's what we call a family affair
number seven
fake new york city scott pilgrim vs the
world
director edgar wright is known for
cramming his highly stylized films with
mountains of easter eggs inside jokes
and pop culture references
scott pilgrim vs the world is no
exception and features a great film
industry gag that likely flew over the
heads of most viewers so how'd you end
up in toronto
just needed to escape i guess oh yeah
got this job here and gideon had always
said toronto was one of the great cities
so is gideon your boyfriend the film
which takes place in toronto
was actually shot there making it
somewhat of a rarity as many films shot
in toronto use it as a stand-in for new
york city
oh man this is gonna suck at least it'll
give us something to complain about
wright references this fact during
scott's fight with lucas lee
having scott fly through a fake new york
city backdrop only to reveal the city of
toronto on the other side
prepared prepare to feel the wrath
of the league of evil axes our hats go
off to anyone who noticed this on their
first viewing
number six fear of roller coasters
knocked up
knocked up opens with the ultimate dude
montage
seth rogen and company smoke stage
boxing matches
have dance-offs and ride roller coasters
the latter proved particularly difficult
for actor jay barachel
who is deathly afraid of roller coasters
mark my words
i'm not going on any roller coasters
today
not happening before shooting began he
told director judd apatow he would
appear
nude in a later scene if he didn't have
to go on the ride
apatow initially agreed but later
reneged on his promise
forcing barrishell to join his co-stars
on the roller coaster use it
be proud of the fact that in the movie
it's gonna look so great that you're
scared
something tells us jay barachel didn't
have to work very hard to achieve the
look of pure terror he sports in the
scene
honestly i swear to god i did start to
cry
i started having like a major freak out
and i started like uh
my heart started pounding and i could
feel i could feel tears welling up in my
eyes
number five the fake mcdonald's scene
was shot in a wendy's
coming to america this film sees eddie
murphy
playing an african prince who travels to
america in search of love
all told he plays four different
characters in the film something he
would continue to do for many years
thereafter you must be out of your
goddamn mind
joe lewis the greatest box ever lived
i'll be with you boys in a minute he was
badly catching clay
he battling sugar ray he bad and now who
that the new boy he got mike mike ty
looked like a bulldog he mad at him too
a running joke throughout the film is
that murphy's character works at a
clear-cut mcdonald's rip-off called
mcdowell's
apparently mcdonald's didn't have a
problem with the joke but in the end all
of the mcdowell scenes were shot inside
of a wendy's restaurant
look being the mcdonald's people we
got this little misunderstanding
see they're mcdonald's i'm
mcdowells huh
they got the golden arches
mine is the golden arcs the irony of
passing off a disused wendy's as a
mcdonald's copycat
certainly makes coming to america a heck
of a lot funnier
they use a sesame seed bun
my buns have no seeds number four the
spaghetti scene was shot twice
elf in this classic christmas comedy
will ferrell plays an elf who travels to
new york city in search of his father
excuse me i'm here to see a walter hobbs
i buddy the elf the film goes to great
lengths to demonstrate how little buddy
knows of the real world
with the scene in which he eats a
disgusting mixture of spaghetti
maple syrup and candy for breakfast
perfectly illustrating his fish out of
water status
[Music]
turns out the concoction tasted just as
gross as it looked
well farrell was forced to shoot the
scene twice after having
thrown up on the first attempt we said
it before and we'll see it again
acting can be a tough gig number three
melissa mccarthy
intentionally dressed like guy fieri
bridesmaids
hey not air marshall john you want to
get back in that restroom and not rest
no i have to get back to my seat yeah
you got to get back
on my seat
while she'd been in the industry for
years prior to its release
bridesmaids was unquestionably melissa
mccarthy's breakout role
she even received an academy award
nomination for best supporting actress
pretty impressive for a character who
dresses like guy fieri in an interview
with conan o'brien
mccarthy quipped that she modeled her
character's appearance after the
celebrity chef
going so far as to try and quote
convince them to let me wear
short white spiky hair while this didn't
come to fruition
you can spot mccarthy's character
wearing the oversized short-sleeved
dress shirts fieri is known for
and copying his habit of wearing his
sunglasses on the back of his head
i know you look at me now and think boy
she must have breezed through high
school
not the case annie no this was not easy
going up and down the halls
number two ed helms has a fake tooth the
hangover
hey phil am i missing a tooth
i can't oh waking up with a nasty
hangover is never easy but
waking up with a nasty hangover and a
missing tooth would be downright
terrifying
such was the case for ed helms's
character in the hangover
who awoke minus an incisor well turns
out no cgi was needed for this
particular scene as ed helms was
actually born without that tooth
i look like a nerdy hillbilly he
received a dental implant in his teens
and was able to remove it in order to
shoot the scene in question
who would have thought that the ability
to remove a tooth on command would come
in handy
why don't you just stop worrying for one
minute
be proud of yourself i don't know phil
maybe it's because i'm missing a tooth
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions
hugh grant in colin firth's fight scene
was improvised bridget jones's diary
this totally explains their lack of
coordination
mistakenly repeated line zoolander kudos

one

it entails and i'm ready to nail it i

film inspired a toilet training tool for
cats

number one [ __ ] is a real name
meet the [ __ ] what'd you do [ __ ]
one of the funniest parts of meet the
parents was greg's
unusual family name so naturally it was
used as a major selling point for the
sequel
even landing in the title however this
proved
more difficult than the filmmakers had
anticipated in order to use the name
the mpaa the organization in charge of
film ratings
requested that they prove focker was a
real last name
this one looks impressive mazel tov
gaylord and
focker world's greatest nurse
well turns out fokker is a real name
shared by a number of families
primarily in canada to celebrate this
fact
the studio decided to hold a focker
family reunion contest
with 25 fockers receiving an all
expenses paid trip to universal studios
in florida
