Funny / Death at a Funeral

Go To

  • The entire movie is one big CMOF, and all the scenes with Alan Tudyk or Peter Dinklage have them, but the biggest one has neither actor and happens right before Credits Roll.
    Uncle Alfie (naked on the roof): Everything's so FUCKING GREEN!
  • The opening: First there's a very lengthy credits scene during which we see a coffin being delivered to a home. The coffin is brought into the family estate, Daniel gazes upon the face of deceased father, then says "Who's this?". The funeral crew's response is "Oh, shit. We've taken the wrong one." and they have to do the whole thing over again.
  • Seconds after Daniel discovers his dad was having an affair with a man, one of his father's friends comes up and mentions how when they were young, his dad would make them go skinny-dipping.
  • When Martha first finds out that Simon is stoned. Funniest background event ever.
    • What's really funny is that she doesn't notice the obvious until Simon starts freaking out over imagining the coffin moving.
  • Simon locks himself in the bathroom:
    Martha: Simon?
    Simon: Simon.
    Martha: Simon? Simon?
    Simon: Simon-Simon.
    Martha: Si?
    Simon: Mon.
    • Simon unravels a roll of toilet paper, all the while talking to it. When he gets to the end, he lets out a profound "Whoa!".
  • Justin and Howard are tasked with minding Uncle Alfie, but Justin immediately shirks his responsibilities. Howard is then left pushing Uncle Alfie up a steep hill and putting up with his verbal abuse, while Justin takes the credit. And then it turns out Uncle Alfie actually likes Justin.
  • "Let me tell you something about women. When I was a young man, I was going out with the most beautiful woman in my village. She'd walk into a room, everyone's eyes would turn. Everyone wanted to fuck her! And of course she liked the attention, because...I need to shit."
  • Peter is overdosed on Troy's pills and takes a header on a coffee table. Troy and Howard try waking him up, but they don't know his name. For some reason they assume his name is Phillip.
  • When Peter wakes up in the coffin and starts shaking it in his attempt to escape, Simon screams "I KNEW IT!".
    • And during the ensuing fracas, Peter's... photos spill out on the floor, and are quickly picked up by Sandra. One quick look later, she immediately begins strangling Peter.
