Funniest character in a film??
 

I mean characters that are funny without trying to be.

For example, my choice would be......

http://www.thatsonpoint.com/articles/images/bennett.bmp

"bennett, I thought you were...." "dead??! you thought wrong.....".

"let off some steam bennett"

lol F$cking class.

bennet was a class act, he loved listening to your little piss-ant soldiers trying to talk tough - they made him laugh :)


good choice with bennet http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/images/icons/icon14.gif


Ordell ( samuel L ) in jackie Brown

Hicks in Alien 2

Chet in wierd science

Fred Dibner

oops, sorry just posted by reading the title instead of the thread:o

Hicks

"Game over man, game over"

Chet

"For God's sake cover yourself"

All played by that guy who is now a famous hollywood actor (whose name I don't know and don't really care about knowing)

"Get me..... everyone."

"what do you mean everyone?"

"EVERYONE!!!!!!"

Who played Hudson, not Hicks....
And to quote the man himself from the film.....

Hudson sir, he's Hicks ;)

Marti Feldman in Young Frankenstein:

**Hoooowwwwwlllll**

Woman: Werewolf!
Dr: Werewolf?

Feldman: There wolf........there castle
Dr: Why are you speaking like that?
Feldman: I thought you wanted to...
Dr: No I don't want to
Feldman: Suit yourself, I'm easy


Others:
Hudson in Aliens - "One question Sir, how do I get out of this chicken **** outfit?"
Chet in Weird Science - "Do you realise it's snowing in my room Goddamit!!"
Baldrick in Blackadder
Blackadder to Prince Regent

You could go on forever

Easy, begbie (trainspotting)

Alot of these are characters that are designed to be funny. I mean characters that aren't supposed to be funny - but are.

derek in bad taste
"i'm a derek and dereks don't run"
or
"i always thought you where left handed barry?"
"oh yea!"

or the finally
"I'm born again ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"

let of some steam bennet is a class one too:cool:

or an other from commando
"i thought you where gonna kill me last?" arnie's reply "i lied"
followed by "what did you do to him?" arnies replay "i let him go"

The Jamacian Bob sleigh team :thumb:

bad example then with bennet, what director puts an overwieght 2 cent has been aussie actor in a chainmail vest up against captian corny ( arnie ), as a serious role?

bennet was always going to be funny, maybe this guy is more like it..

Gotta agree with Aliens :cool:

DRAKE: They ain't payin' us enough for this.

DIETRICH: Not enough to have to wake up to your face Drake.

DRAKE: Hey, Hicks...you look like I feel.

HUDSON: This floor's freezing.

APONE: Christ. I never saw such a buncha old women. You want me to fetch your slippers, Hudson?

HUDSON: Would you, Sir?

Or

BURKE: I suggest you study the disks Ripley has been kind enough to prepare for you.

GORMAN: Are there any questions? Hudson?

HUDSON: How do I get out of this chicken-sh*t outfit?

Simon.

forgot him, funny but not funny, good call.

Lando .... in Clerks ......

Screech in Made

Vince Vaughan and Jon Favreau are stopped getting in the club then Screech walks up:


[Outside of club, Dustin Diamond walks up]
Doorman : You look big man, you been liftin'?
Dustin Diamond : Hey thanks, yeah a little bit. I got a 6 pack, started out with a 40!
Jon Favreau : Did you just let SCREECH in the f*cking club?

...that had me in stiches :lol1:

-Edited to say the above is more of a funny 'moment' in a film

Bare in mind th ough, MJ. This was 1985......20 years ago. Benneet, a well built, Aussie hard man with a metal string vest was considered "ard". Now, it's simply funy.

Watch Commando again, he was intended to be a nasty b&stard but actually was a comedic character....nowadays anyway.

did you know they have made a hollywood version of this
http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/taxi/

Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau :D Not Now Kato You Feul!!


er... also as Dr. Strangelove with his anarchic arm syndrome :D Gentlemen, you can't fight in here this is the war room!!

bloody americans! I can't believe they even ripped off the bridge ending.

will have to watch it, only because the bank robbers look a bit tasty.

BTW, anyone that hasn't seen the original - WHY NOT!!!!

Joe Pesci:
Nicky Santoro in Casino and Tommy D in Goodfellas.
Well funny, black humour.

Benoit in Man Bites Dog.

Bradd Pitt in True Romance - dope fiend on the sofa.
