"...but I'm funny how? I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh? What do you mean funny? Funny how? How am I funny?"



Some of my favorite films are those that are marketed as something other than a comedy and somehow manage to sneak in some of the funniest scenes in cinema.  Whether it's Morgan Freeman coming up with a rebuttal with someone trying to blackmail Batman, or John Travolta calmly stating the obvious about his gun "going off", there are more than a few scenes where a serious conversation or action sequence garnishes a few laughs from the audience.
