** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbaMbm7xbNk This deleted scene]] from Fellowship comes across as very silly. Frodo's convenient placement directly underneath the trolls (almost as though someone deliberately did so there), with Sam's sheepish reaction to it cut together with Frodo's expression of anguish and terror, it almost comes of as though Sam is actively ''trying'' to scare Frodo to death.

** Mako's [[spoiler:final words to Pentecost, "aishiteru, sensei" aka "I love you, teacher",]] can be a little jarring to native Japanese speakers, since "[[spoiler:aishiteru]]" is a very unusual thing for a Japanese person to say. It would have been more natural if she left it at "Sensei..."

** Given the film's odd method of giving us Superman's backstory through flashbacks, Jonathan Kent gives similar speeches in AnachronicOrder.
** The Jor-El hologram repeating every single plot point from the Krypton prologue, rendering an already long sequence moot. Granted, it was also there to help explain just how stagnant Krypton had become, from a civilization that went to colonize worlds far beyond their reach, to one that seeming hasn't changed since they figured out how to clone their species.
** [[spoiler: Superman killing Zod. It's meant to be a ShootTheDog moment for Supes but since he wasn't developed as well as other characters (as mentioned below), his famous super-code against killing isn't explicitly spelled out and it arguably turns into "just" a BigNo moment. On the other hand, most people have been raised to believe ThouShallNotKill - one doesn't have to profess Abrahamic faiths to believe thus - so Superman's reaction can be understood as that of a mere man not "Superman".]]

* In Jackson's ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers]]'', when Aragorn reaches Helm's Deep after being thought dead, Eowyn, who has a crush on him, rushes forward to welcome him back. She stops when she sees Legolas return the Evenstar to Aragorn because it reminds her that Aragorn is already in love with Arwen. From the way the scene is shot, [[HoYay it looks like Legolas is proposing to Aragorn]] and beating Eowyn to the punch.
** Fun fact: They originally intended for Arwen to appear at Helm's Deep. ''That'' was the scene Eowyn was supposed to be reacting to. Considering what scene they replaced it with, one wonders if the producers ''wanted'' HoYay in the movie.

The main scientist injects himself with a virus that causes a good three-minute death scene, gurgling all the way even when off-camera.

* The first wedding scene in the 1993 adaptation of Shakespeare's ''MuchAdoAboutNothing''. It was ''meant'' to be a shocking TearJerker as Claudio furiously exposes Hero's infidelity to the rest of the cast (he was actually tricked into thinking she was unfaithful), but [[LargeHam his acting]], and the scene in general is so over the top that it becomes an hilarious example of BlackComedy.
* ''MusicOfTheHeart'' is loaded with narm. It's quite unfortunate, because the true story on which it is based is genuinely inspiring. The film wastes a good source material, good casting and good music on [[PlayingAgainstType director Wes Craven]] and first-time screenwriter Pamela Gray. There is a lot of chunky exposition to the camera, unnecessary embellishment of real events, and a good deal of histrionics - see whenever Roberta yells at her really nice mom or her really nice kids. The characterisation of Roberta is garishly inconsistent - an incredible feat, considering Roberta Guaspari is ''a real person''. When MerylStreep starts to look like a bad actress, you know the script is beyond salvation.
* Vada's habit of singing "Doo Wah Diddy Diddy" fast when she's upset tends to ruin what are supposed to be emotional moments in ''MyGirl''.

* While Creator/WillSmith does a fantastic job in ''Film/IAmLegend'', there's still that scene where he started screaming at a mannequin and held it at gunpoint (it's supposed to show that he's quite nuts). That scene was meant to play into the original ending, where the vampires/zombies are intelligent and used the mannequin as a trap. {{Foreshadowing}} [[OrphanedPunchline minus the thing being foreshadowed]] can easily lead to Narm.
** He delivered quite a few lines in a needlessly overdramatic fashion, such as "I like Shrek" and "I was saving that bacon."
*** "I like {{Shrek}}"? What a place for ProductPlacement! (Even if the studio is just placing its own product.)
** His puckering, contorted facial expression when he kills [[spoiler:his dog]] is just disturbing. It's not sad or angry in any way, just incredibly odd.
* The 1934 version of ''Imitation of Life'': Claudette Colbert saying "I want my [[InherentlyFunnyWords quack-quack]]" with all her usual elegance and gravitas. That's the ''last line'' of the movie, folks. It's intended to be an IronicEcho, which only makes it worse.
* ''Film/InTime'' has lots of dramatic moments ruined by hilariously ungraceful running, Olivia Wilde being the exception. Yeah, I know, they're running for their lives ... but if your movie is going to feature a lot of dramatic shots of people running, you should probably try to cast people with a graceful stride and not put your leading lady in high heels.
** Also, some people found [[spoiler: Cillian Murphy and Olivia Wilde]]'s death scenes to be incredibly hilarious, the former because of the really silly circumstances that lead to it and the second one due to Justin Timberlake's reaction.
* In TheImpossible, it's very hard to feel any sort of empathy for the characters when they are SCREAMING NON-STOP at every little occurrence. They're not very likeable or smart, either, especially the mother, who tells her clearly terrified and shell-shocked son to try to help a woman who's just gone from being near comatose to busily vomiting and choking up blood.
* ''Film/{{Inception}}'': Every time they cut to the falling van. ''Especially'' Arthur's expression.
** Cobb talking to Mal in limbo, which is an extremely intense scene - until Cobb gets to his "all your perfection, all your imperfection" speech. It probably is the only time in the film LeonardoDiCaprio looks genuinely confused, instead of acting confused.
** LeonardoDiCaprio's overwrought screams of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNqVn_DUuLc "MAL, NO, JESUS CHRIST-"]] turn an otherwise heart-wrenching scene into pure narm.
* One unfortunately edited scene from ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'' (2008) suffered from this. There's a touching and heartfelt scene of Ed Norton and LivTyler's characters trying to sleep in separate beds across the hall, each clearly thinking about the other. And then there's a shot of a topless, tattooed Tim Roth angrily opening a door. This was a ''different'' scene happening elsewhere, but...
** Tim Roth ought to either keep his shirt on more, or take it off more. He can't keep taking the middle ground.
** There's also the whole "flash drive of love" subplot, in which Bruce and Betty treat the flash drive as if it were an engagement ring or something.
* In ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull,'' there is a scene where BigBad Irina Spalko is hanging from a tree branch over a swarm of army ants. What do the ants decide to do? ''Climb up over each other to get to her!'' Real life army ants ''do'' build structures out of each other like that, but still.
** What about the 'Shia Lebouf and monkeys' swinging scene! It was over the top and unbelievable and a distraction from the epic truck battle going on.
** The [[SpecialEffectFailure CGI gophers]]. Really, Lucas?
** [[LargeHam I WANT 2 KNOW! I WANT 2 KNOW EVERYTHING YOU KNOW!!!!!]]
* ''{{Insidious}}'' has some pretty freaky stuff, however the commercial reveals that one of the ghosts/demons....[[http://totallylookslike.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/darth-maul-totally-looks-like-demon-from-insidious.jpg Looks hilariously like Darth Maul]].
** And oddly, that is probably the single scariest moment in the entire movie.
* Lestat in ''InterviewWithTheVampire'' has quite a few narm moments, the most notable being midway through: Louis finally embraces his vampire instincts by [[spoiler:biting a little girl]], and Lestat decides to celebrate by dancing around with...wait for it...a dead corpse. Don't believe it? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9kWNtZyuws There's still life in the old lady yet!]]
** In the book, that scene is almost creepy. But TomCruise dancing with a dead woman is just strange.
** Brad Pitt's HeroicBSOD while his Louisiana mansion burns down.
---> "This place is cursed! DAAAAAAAAMNED!"
** "AND YES, YOUR MASTER IS THE DEVIL!"
* Although the ''Invisible Children'' documentary definitely had the best of intentions, and definitely touched a lot of audiences, however the one scene where the orphaned boy cries has been known to make immature high school audiences laugh, due to the strange noises he makes while crying.
* From ''Film/IronMan2008'': In the climactic battle, the dialogue goes something like this:
--> "PUSH THE BUTTON!!!"\\
"You said not to."\\
"JUST PUSH IT!!!"
** [[MemeticMutation "TONY STARK WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!"]]
** [[MemeticMutation "I LOVEEE THIS SUIIT!"]]
** In [[Film/IronMan2 the second movie]], when Vanko's father dies, he does that weird shouting thing...
* From the movie of ''Stephen King's {{It}}'':
--> "You killed my brother George you BAST-ERD!"
--> "This is battery acid, you slime!"
** The entire second half of the movie, the half featuring the adult actors, is brimming with Narm. For instance, there's Richard Thomas's (as adult Bill Denborough) laughable attempt at stuttering, and John Ritter's awkward love scenes (one of which involves macking [[spoiler: the bloody clown itself]]).
* ''Film/ItsAWonderfulLife'' is a brilliant movie, but there's the horrified way that Clarence reveals that Mary's dire fate in Pottersville is [[spoiler:that she never married and became a librarian]]. Even better, George Bailey reacts as if this were the worst thing that could happen.
** It was supposed to be that she didn't recognize him and screamed when he tried to talk to her; but that point wasn't made that clear. Or perhaps it was supposed to be that she's ended up a ChristmasCake.
** [[WordOfGod Frank Capra]] admitted in later years that this scene was the one part of the movie he would change if he had the chance.

* Most ''Film/JamesBond'' movies are light-hearted, but sometimes they top themselves:
** ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun'' is Narm-laden, but particular notice must go to sticking a comedy sound effect into the bridge jump.
** Another Roger Moore Bond movie, ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'', has an opening scene so laden with narm that it's impossible to watch without laughing. It's not clear which is worse: the cuts between the action and the close-ups on Moore in a studio acting like he's in a completely different movie; or the disco soundtrack playing throughout.
** ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'''s score is more suitable for ''Film/{{Flashdance}}'' than for 007.
---->'''[[spoiler: Blofeld]]:''' ''[as Bond is dangling him from a helicopter]'' Please Mister Bond! I'll buy you a delicatessen! ''In stainless steel!''
** [[SmugSnake Koskov's]] "I ''told'' you!" happy dance in ''Film/TheLivingDaylights'' is cringe-inducing, especially since Jeroen Krabbe is such an [[HamAndCheese enjoyable]] [[LargeHam ham]] for 99% of the movie.
** ''Film/DieAnotherDay'' turned what should have been a CrowningMomentOfAwesome -- Film/JamesBond surfing the tidal wave with the parachute -- into a Narmfest, thanks to [[SpecialEffectsFailure unconvincing CGI]]. Especially bad because there was a surfing sequence at the beginning of the film done without CGI effects that looked much better.
** Daniel Craig's reactions during the torture scene in ''Film/CasinoRoyale'' are over-the-top even for a serious GroinAttack. And Le Chiffre looks like the lead singer of MyChemicalRomance.
*** The [[MagicalDefibrillator defibrillation scene]] earlier in ''Film/CasinoRoyale'' was also over-the-top and unrealistic.
** Dominic Greene from ''Film/QuantumOfSolace'' would've been threatening... [[spoiler:had he not made the girliest battlecries ever when he was fighting Bond.]]
*** His uncanny resemblance to pianist/TV presenter Jools Holland is also distracting.
*** The scene after [[spoiler:Mathis dies.]] Presumably, you're supposed to be deeply affected by Bond's shift from grief to cold professionalism; but the sudden cut to Bond chucking the corpse into the rubbish and nicking his money was more comical than anything.
* The 2011 film of ''Film/JaneEyre'' has the final scene, in which Mr. Rochester has lost his beautiful mansion and most of his fortune. He now lives alone in the country. Jane finally gets to reunite with him. It would've been a beautiful scene, had it not been for Rochester's BeardOfSorrow. It was long and completely out of nowhere, as he'd been clean-shaven (save his impressive sideburns) for the whole movie. Half of the theatre was giggling at it.
** This troper could not contain her laughter when Jane leaves St. John (or Sinjin as it's pronounced) to return to Rochester and shouts "I'm coming!" with all the melodrama she could muster then proceeds to stumble away into the country side. Ok maybe I'm just immature.
* The opening kill in ''Film/{{Jaws}}''. [[spoiler:Quint's death]] also counts, due to SpecialEffectsFailure.
** ''Film/JawsTheRevenge''. The shark ''[[CriticalResearchFailure roars]],'' and is killed by ramming into it with the prow of a boat... which causes it to ''[[MadeOfPlasticine explode]]''.
* The infamous line Olivier delivers in the Neil Diamond version of ''TheJazzSinger''.
--->''"I HAFF NO SON!" [rips shirt and runs off crying]''
* "You....complete me" in ''Film/JerryMaguire''. It doesn't help that TomCruise looked like he was taking a dump while he said it.
** Hell, with that rictus smile of his, he looked like he was taking a dump through half the movie.
* Depending on who you ask, both the 1973 and the 2000 version of ''JesusChristSuperstar''. To give some examples from both:
** The entire temple scene in the 2000 version, with explosions and cages full of bombs.
** 'Heaven on their Minds'' in the 1973 version - Judas having a temper tantrum on top of a mountain, ending with him shouting 'listen to me!' over and over. Plus the weird gestures he makes while singing.
** Jerome Pradon's accent in the 2000 version. 'YOU HAVE MAH-DAH'D ME!'
** Judas's death in 1973 version. He hangs himself with his belt.
* Considering ''Literature/JohnnyGotHisGun'' is a genuinely horrifying movie, it's narm moments are even more jarring. The most obvious is when the eponymous Johnny - who is deaf, blind and mute, and well as missing all his limbs and a substantial portion of his head - realises that the new Matron has left the blinds open in his room. He now can tell the difference between day and night, and is at least able to get even the slightest grasp on his surroundings. In the movies defence, it's a ''really'' big thing for him, but the music and narration is so over the top you could be mistaken for believing he'd just grown his arms and legs back and been able to walk out of the hospital none the worse for his stay.
** Similarly, in one of the many ''bizarre'' dream sequences, Johnny and four other soldiers are playing cards in a train station waiting to head back home. Sat with them is a stoned Jesus - played by a youngish Donald Sutherland - who has a bone dry sense of humour and proceeds to cheat at cards. The big pay off of the scene, [[spoiler: that everyone at the table is, in fact, dead]], is done really well, but utterly ruined by the next shot. Jesus, with much wailing and rending of cloth, is seen hanging out the window of a train, floating aimlessly by on a really bad backdrop. It ''just'' misses being a BigLippedAlligatorMoment simply because it ''technically'' makes sense given the context, but is so weird and over the top that it falls squarely into Narm.
* From ''Film/JohnnyMnemonic'': "I WANT ROOM SERVICE!"
--> [[http://computer.ytmnd.com/ I want to get online. I NEED a COMPUTER!]]
** Really, anything involving dolphins has a hard time looking serious, let alone a cyberpunk dolphin with all sorts of weird gear attached to him, [[spoiler: defeating Dolph Lundgren. The name "Dolph" makes it even more unintentionally funny.]]
* Learning that the recurring, strangely shaped blood stain in ''JuOn 2'' was a butt print could undermine the horror of the rest of the film.
* Try not to laugh whenever Stallone says "law" in ''Film/JudgeDredd''. Stallone isn't the only one, either; the guy who plays Rico practically ''belches'' it, as if his actor is trying to [[HamToHamCombat out-ham]] Stallone.
--> '''YOU BETRAYED THE LAW!'''
--> '''LOAAAW!'''
* In ''Film/{{Jumanji}}'', Alan (RobinWilliams) is sucked into the board game. When he escapes in 25 years he is unaware of the time gap and expects to see his parents. Judy (KirstenDunst) tells him that everyone thought he was dead and Alan walks out the front door in dismay. After he leaves, Judy says "Sorry".
* The spraying bit in ''Film/{{Jumper}}''.
* Spike Lee's ''Jungle Fever'' ends with Wesley Snipes being approached by a hooker who offers to "suck yo big black dick for two dollas!" He responds by grabbing her in a tight hug and screaming [[BigNo "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"]].
* ''Film/JurassicPark''
** The scene where Tim gets zapped on the fence.
---> '''"TIM?? NO, TIM!"'''
** When Grant bursts into his trailer on the dig-site....to be met with Hammond bent over, ass in the air, rummaging through his fridge with a bad VPL.
** "SHYOOOOOOOT HAAAAAAAR!"
** Creator/LauraDern as Dr. Satler is ''horrifically'' narmy throughout the film, numerous examples include: her high school play shocked-face on seeing the Brachiosaur for the first time, her wincing sobs of joy on encountering an unwell Triceratops, smashing her arm into a massive pile of dino-shit, her goofy running - "ru-uuuuuun!!", the bizarre and slightly un-hinged "Mr Hammond, I think we're back in business!" line when she reboots the power and finally - "S'GONNA COME THROUGH THE GLAAAASSSS!". Oh and also - "Look, we'll discuss sexism in a survival situation when I get back".....just ''awful''.
** Hammond's shrill, matronly scream when he overhears Grant shooting at the velociraptor.
** The merciless close-up of Creator/SamuelLJackson's back-lit, whispy-tache mouth, munching on a cigar repeating "Access main program, access main secuuurity."
*** Creator/SamuelLJackson narms it up pretty well with the "PLEEEASE! GOD DAMNMIT! HATE THIS HACKER CRAP!"

* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzK6VN-hwhw death scene]] from the 1973 Turkish film ''Kareteci Kiz'' has circulated the web as the "Worst Death Scene Ever", and not without reason.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjsZDaXMlpM&feature=related This]] Scene from the Chinese film ''Kidnap'', Is [[SoOkayItsAverage Passable]], despite every actor speaking with huge amounts of LargeHam...Until the car appears. Then the scene devolves into Pure Narm.
* ''KillBill'', having [[LadyOfWar O-Ren Ishii]] decapitate a {{Yakuza}} guy for pressing her BerserkButton (mocking her Chinese-American heritage and citing it as the reason why he doesn't want her leadership) in what's supposed to be her glorious ascension to the top of the {{Yakuza}} is chilling. Then it becomes a BlackComedy jewel when she pulls a DecapitationPresentation, and we see the head's ''ridiculous'' OhCrap's face. Not helped by O-Ren dropping a truly over-the-top PrecisionFStrike in GratuitousEnglish as she shows off her "prize".
** The [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment random scene where]] [[spoiler: The Bride's name is established as Beatrix Kiddo]] in ''Vol. 2'', which shows [[spoiler: the adult Uma Thurman as Kiddo sitting in roll call during class with a bunch of kids]].
* In the 2004 version of ''Film/KingArthur'', there's the point where Arthur is up on the hill, and Lancelot and the other knights ride up to help fight against the Saxons. Very awe-inspiring, except when the camera turns to Lancelot's face and shows him ''smirking'' at Arthur.
** From the same film, the scene where Lancelot leaves his village. He turns back to look at a crowd of warriors watching him go, and they all scream at him.
---> Lancelot! BLAAAAAAGH!
*** That's supposed to be ''Rus'', a Sarmatian battle cry. Why can't that guy speak clearly?
* The film ''{{Knowing}}'', when NicolasCage is chasing away people(?) who have been watching him:
--> NicolasCage: [[ChewingTheScenery YOU WANT SOME OF THIS?!?]] (hits tree once with baseball bat)
** The makers of the film ''{{Knowing}}'' clearly have not spent much time on the internet. Shooting laser beams from the mouth is daft enough; making it almost identical to the famous "Shoop da Whoop" meme is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PckwUNzcHu4 just asking for trouble]].
** The [[ConspicuousCG CGI animals on CGI fire.]]
--->"THE CAVES CAN'T HELP YOU!!"
** The plane crash would be an emotionally gripping scene if it weren't for the fact that nearly all Americans know what a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks real plane crash looks like]]. If anyone survived a crash that resulted in the plane being blown to a long series of mangled debris, they'd wouldn't be in one piece, much less running around ablaze and screaming like Looney Toons characters.

The main scientist injects himself with a virus that causes a good three-minute death scene, gurgling all the way even when off-camera. He is finally incinerated and falls over, but pops up one last time to go "BLAAAAAGH" at his watching daughter.... and then he explodes. It's supposed to be dramatic, and the music is full-blown, but it can be hysterical.
** Is this guy dead yet? Nope. [[OverlyLongGag Still dying... still dying... still dying...still dying...still dying...still dying...]] GOD SOMEBODY GET A DEATH NOTE AND PUT THIS GUY OUT OF HIS MISERY!!!
** At the beginning, when all of the criminals were having heart attacks, the somewhat hammy acting of the actors coupled with the overacting of the dub cast made it funny.
** Towards the end of the first movie, [[spoiler: Light puts together a setup to get rid of Naomi, in which she kidnaps his girlfriend Shiori and shoots her while she's trying to run to her side, then [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone killing herself]]. Before that final bit, our good old MagnificentBastard friend holds poor Shiori in his arms as she dies and screams in soul-wrenching anguish. Not so bad originally, but in the English dub, he screams at Naomi, "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO KILL HER? ''TELL ME WHY!!''"]] Ain't nothing but a heartaaaaache...
* There is a one scene in the thriller ''Lakeview Terrace'', in which Samuel J. Jackson plays a racist cop terrorizing the mixed couple next door. At one point, Patrick Wilson is sitting in his car listening to loud rap music and smoking a cigarette when Samuel's character suddenly shows up. After giving a couple of not so subtle threats, what little tension this scene has created is blown away by a howl of laughter when he calmly says:
-->"You know, you can sit out here listening to this shit all night, but when you wake up in the morning, you'll still be white."
* ''TheLangoliers'' and "that horrible cereal noise." To say nothing of the titular creatures.
** "[[ChewingTheScenery Scaring the little GIRL?! SCARING THE LITTLE GIRL?! LADY!!]]"
* ''Film/TheLastAirbender'': During a scene where [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3x9WmjHDEM Earthbenders are staging a revolt]], they come stomping (hilariously) only for ''a relatively small rock to fly and strike the Fire Benders.''
** The sheer awfulness of that scene has to be emphasized. What we have are six or seven Earthbenders moving in perfect precision and choreography and stomping the earth, and then from the side of the screen a rock about the size of a football floats lazily towards the Firebenders. They would have done better simply to pick up rocks and throw them.
** When [[spoiler:Zhao kills the Moon Spirit]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BjJBQyNR68 cue a zoom into Iroh's eyeball]]. Iroh then does a [[NarmCharm (hilarious but awesome)]] display of firebending.
*** [[DullSurprise "HE'S MAKING]] [[CaptainObvious FIRE OUT OF NOTHING!"]]
**** This is even funnier if you're familiar with the show, in which making fire out of nothing is how firebending ''normally works''.
** The best of all has to be "And you think my son might be this person?" (overly long pause) "... YEEEEEEEEEEES!"
** Iroh's dreadlocks. Iroh's from the Fire Nation, not Rasta Nation, mahn.
** And in her first scene scene, Yue's hair seen from the back happens to look like a penis. That was the only thing the Cinema Snob found entertaining. Since her hairstyle changes for the rest of the movie, one must wonder if she noticed...
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E8LYmqmgn4 "This time we show the fire nation that we believe in our beliefs as much as they believe in theirs".]] Since when did this become ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''?
*** Made even more awkward when this was said right before she [[spoiler:gave her life to the Moon Spirit]], a pure TearJerker in the series.
*** [[Podcast/RiffTrax BELIEVE]] [[Manga/{{Naruto}} IT!]]
** Another great line is "Again, I offer my condolences on [[AsYouKnow your nephew burning to death in that terrible accident]]". Subtle, Zhao... real subtle. He then goes on to talk about Iroh's son dying in the siege of Ba Sing Se, [[MrExposition at great length and detail]].
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU1hYgGcosA "HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"]] They obviously meant it to be dramatic, but it fell short of that and just sounded like a walrus' mating call. Or, seeing as waterbenders get their power from the moon, one could easily interpret that they are actually werewolves due to this war cry...
*** Also, the close-up of two waterbenders who looked more like Jonah Hill and Jesse Eisenberg. [[{{Rifftrax}} "Fan-boy battalion"]], indeed.
** Due to the difference between American and British English, "I could tell at once that you were a bender, and that you would realize your destiny." has much different connotations.
** "I am Prince Zuko, son of the Fire Lord and heir to the throne....'''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis BRING ME! ALL YOUR! ELDERLY!!!!]]'''"
** Katara shoving a Fire Nation Soldier (aka [[FanNickname Ka-tackle]]).
--->'''Fire Nation Soldier:''' (to Aang, in the tone of [[SaturdayNightLive Will Ferrell]] [[{{Rifftrax}} imitating Robert Goulet]]) The Avatar has to be an airbender. Are you an airbender, boy? (laughs slightly)
--->'''Katara:''' (pushes the Fire Nation Soldier) [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v243/cambryn/push.gif Leave him alone!]]
** Before that, "IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO STOP DOING THIS!". Not convincing, AH-ng.
** One that many people miss is an old man saying "They took away any....tools...related to...bending."
*** SOME OF THE GREAT MONKS. CAN MEDITATE. FOR FOUR DAYS.
** Anytime Zhao is on-screen. His whiny voice is a contrast from the sexy voice of the one and only Jason Isaacs. He's basically talking as if he's doing commentary on TheDailyShow.
** Katara's defeat to Zuko. No, she is not in the lead at first then defeated after the sun is up, ''[[{{Chickification}} she was instantly beaten after two shots.]]'' The funniest part about that scene is that after being defeated, she was instantly whacked into a tree. Cue laughter from the audience.
** Remember when [[spoiler:Zuko's ship got blown up]]? In the movie version, Iroh, who was busy having his foot massaged, simply pushes his masseuse aside and shouts "ZUKO!!!!" with his hands way up.
** And then right after [[spoiler:Princess Yue's sacrifice]], the moon finally returned. This was supposed to be a moment of hope, and ''then'' a Northern Water Tribe villager starts shoving a Fire Nation soldier to the ground, instead of doing some water whip or something. Not only this is unintentionally hilarious, this scene completely misses the point of connecting the moon with waterbending.
** The ending, [[spoiler:right before the Azula stinger]], was supposed to be an epic bowing down scene ala ''Film/LordOfTheRings''. Instead, we see Aang doing some weird pose with expression that screams "I need to pee, dammit!".
** The Deleted Scenes are arguably worse. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YToyaLSLQM0&feature=player_embedded This one]] starts with the stupidity of Soh-ka hitting a Fire Nation mook on the ass with his boomerang, Katara's wooden acting, and the dancing. My God, the dancing. And then the crew wanders into the shot.
** And what the hell, watch [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbi7xUd5TPc this]].
** In a deleted scene, Katara takes down a Fire Nation Mook by [[WrestlerInAllOfUs flipping him by his arm]]. Katara is a ''13-year old girl''.
** "[[FanNickname Ung]]" telling his friends that if they don't make it to the Northern Water Tribe, the Fire Nation would win the war. You'd think it would be a really dramatic and ominous moment, but Noah Ringer basically delivers it with all of the urgency of a little kid telling his parents that his tummy hurts.
** Zuko's appearance at the spirit oasis. With a giant torch. Enough said.
** When Zhao [[spoiler: fights Zuko.]] He does this firebending move that basically involves first a lot of spinning, and then him cupping his hands by his chest and thrusting outwards. MAN-BOOB BLAST!
*** And to deflect the attack, [[spoiler: Iroh]] puts both of his hands in front of him and the fire parts to both sides. Any possible awesomeness is ruined by the fact that he looks kind of like an Indian Moses.
* Katsumoto's death scene in ''TheLastSamurai'' was intended to be profound and dramatic, but his contorted constipation face in conjunction with the solemnity of the scene made for hearty lols all around. Bear in mind, Katsumoto had just rammed a wakizashi into his stomach. Let's see you keep a straight face during something like that.
** The gunning down of the samurai with the Gatling guns can be vindictively funny, especially if you have grown tired of KatanasAreJustBetter and GunsAreWorthless. Where's all your katana-godmodding now, samurai boys? [[EvilLaugh Hahahahaha!]]
* From the film adaptation of ''LeftBehind'', the scene of Hattie entering into the plane's cockpit after the Rapture:
--> "Hundreds of people - MISSING!"
* ''The Legend of Hell House'' is for the most part an atmospheric and creepy haunted house movie, but it has two extremely Narmish moments:
** The first is when a character is attacked by a cat, represented by an unconvincing puppet thrown at her repeatedly.
** The other comes at the climax, when Roddy [=McDowall=]'s character figures out that all the supernatural happenings in the house are the work of a single spirit -- the house's original owner. A decent twist, but then Roddy goes on that he knows the reason the ghost is doing all this: he was short. Granted, this guy is constantly described as a giant of a man, and so it's easy to believe that this secret would be so shameful to him that he would be driven to impersonate an entire house full of ghosts. But seeing poor Roddy [=McDowall=] shouting "You weren't even five foot (sic) tall!" into the wind is just embarrassing.
* Moviegoers went into hysterics after watching the trailer of ''{{Legion}}'', during the scene where a possessed elderly woman climbs up onto the ceiling.
** [[Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses "Oh come on! How can you not laugh at Spider-Granny?"]]
*** It wasn't so much the lady for me as the guy screaming "SHOOT IT!!!" at the top of his lungs.
** In the movie itself: the SpecialEffectsFailure with the evil ice cream man, the fact that there's a character named ''Jeep'', Gabriel's chainsaw-mace thing, "I just want to play with your baby!"
* In ''Film/LesMiserables2012'', [[spoiler:Javert's suicide]] has a hilariously loud and gruesome sound effect. Everyone in the theatre winced and started giggling.
** Due to every line being sung, some of the dialogue can come off as a tad melodramatic. "I STOOOLE A LOAAF OF BREEAAD."
* In ''The Life and Death of PeterSellers'', the climactic recreation of Peter playing Chance the gardener in ''BeingThere'' is made unintentionally amusing by Geoffrey Rush's failure to get the voice right -- he sounds less like Chance than he does [[Series/RedDwarf Mr. Flibble]], ''especially'' since he doesn't have much dialogue in the scene being shot.
* TheReveal in the movie ''The Life of David Gale'' is like this: [[spoiler: "She did it herself!"]]. Um, that's pretty clear after what the [[TooDumbToLive reporter]] did...
* The football scene in ''Little Children''. Between Sarah's incredibly overenthusiastic cheering and both football teams vanishing immediately, it's more funny than emotionally moving.
* ''Film/TheLivesOfOthers'', which is an otherwise good movie, features a scene in which a character learns about a friend's suicide... and his immediate reaction is to sit down at the piano, brood, and play depressing music while doing his best to look tortured. It comes out of nowhere and is so over the top, you have to wonder if they shot an alternative scene where he goes to his room, puts on black eye-liner and listens to LinkinPark. Or another where he grows sideburns, wears early 19th-century clothes, and writes moody poetry in the forest.
* The entire 90-minute running time of ''TheLonelyLady''.
-->"If I write for anyone, Vinnie, I write for ''MMMMEEEEEE!!!!''
* A dramatic scene late in ''The Lookout'' is hampered by one character's loud, repeated insistence that "[[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse I have the poweeeer!]]"
* The scene in the 1990 film of ''LordOfTheFlies''. Just...dear good, the scene where Roger shoves the rock down the cliff is absurdly cheesy. And combined with Ralph's ''BigNo''...
* In Jackson's ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers]]'', when Aragorn reaches Helm's Deep after being thought dead, Eowyn, who has a crush on him, rushes forward to welcome him back. She stops when she sees Legolas return the Evenstar to Aragorn because it reminds her that Aragorn is already in love with Arwen. From the way the scene is shot, [[HoYay it looks like Legolas is proposing to Aragorn]] and beating Eowyn to the punch.
** Fun fact: They originally intended for Arwen to appear at Helm's Deep. ''That'' was the scene Eowyn was supposed to be reacting to. Considering what scene they replaced it with, one wonders if the producers ''wanted'' HoYay in the movie.
** During the Battle of Helm's Deep, Legolas's shield-boarding, and the running orc that seems to have come straight out of the Orc Olympics with its obvious BURNING TORCH! OF BURNING!
** In ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings The Return of the King]]'', when Legolas finally comprehends Aragorn's plan to draw the gaze of Sauron's eye, he adds a real gem to the conversation:
---> [[CaptainObvious "A diversion!"]]
** The whole "people the size of children jumping on a bed while an old geezer watches and laughs" is hilarious. Even more so ''via'' [[http://youtube.com/watch?v=4QAlt4Sfl7Q this video]].
** Frodo greets Aragorn and Gimli by shouting their names, but gives Legolas a look of "oh, yeah... that other guy that did... stuff..."
** Who can forget Gimli's over the top wails in The Mines of Moria, it's even more jarring since in the book he just pulls his hood over his head without making a sound and in the animated version he just sadly and silently walks away.
** Creator/PeterJackson commented that the scenes in Rohan were difficult to direct because any depiction of medieval peasantry risked reminding people of ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail''. ''DMOfTheRings'', of course, [[http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=906 went to town in more ways than one.]]
** "THEY'RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISENGARD!" Legolas, we feel your pain.
---> [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE-1RPDqJAY The hobbits the hobbits the hobbits the hobbits to Isengard! To Isengard!]]
** Frodo- "THEY TOOK THE RING!" the narmiest part of the movie in my opinion
** Saruman starts making Gandalf spin in circles on the floor during their fight. This is seen in part from above, by the way.
** Some people consider Galadriel's "dark queen" transformation, complete with slowed down/warped voice and (possibly) overdone effects, Narm. When Galadriel was shot from the front, her arms were pointed in an awkward position, and her slightly upturned face, along with the negative colours, made her nose look like a pig's snout. It made her look like a weird scarecrow. But then it shifted to a view from the side, and suddenly she looked impressive and scary.
** [[spoiler: Denethor's death scene.]] Gandalf lays the beatdown on him with his staff, Shadowfax kicks him in the head right onto his son's funeral pyre, and ''then'' he catches fire and runs all the way into the courtyard, through the garden (which looks like a helipad from the top down), and ''off the conveniently-placed cliff of Minas Tirith''.
*** [[NarmCharm Best part of the movie]].
*** What makes it worse/better is the cliff isn't "conveniently placed", it's a good 50-to-100 metres from the nearest building, leading to [[FridgeLogic Fridge]] Narm when you realise Denethor must be quite the athlete as he did the 100 metre sprint, wearing armour and on ''fire'' during the cut between locations.
*** Bonus Narm for those who recall the parallel scene from the book. Gandalf speaks the same line in both - "So passes [[spoiler: Denethor, son of Ecthelion]]". The film version has him passing in a literal "Keep to the left" sense.
**** Arguably, this delivery seems like it was done on purpose.
** When the Black Gate is collapsing in ''Return of the King'', there's a shot where you see Aragorn's face staring in awe. Thing is, there's another guy right behind him who looks like he's ''whistling''; his expression screams, "Oooooooh, cool." (Around 1:03 in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF8YJ5yv1jc this]] video.
** "A wizard should know '''better!''' '''AAAAAAAAAGGGGGH'''!!!"
** In ''The Return of the King,'' when Pippin's being [[MindRape mind-raped]] by the Orthanc Palanatir, it looks like he's having either a seizure or an orgasm. His face doesn't help.
** The Elvish words Frodo speaks to illuminate the Light of Elendil sound a little like "I need another CANDY BAR."
** The Fellowship's faces, especially Aragorn's, when the Balrog first arrives and the orcs scatter.
---> "A BALRRRROG OF MORRGOTH!"
** "Legolas! What do your Elf Eyes see?" Swish your Elf Hair! Listen with your Elf Ears!
** There are certain words that are impossible to take seriously. [[StarWars "Younglings"]] is one. "Man-Flesh" is another.
** Some of the orcs' dialogue can often be this ("Looks like meat's BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS!")
** A lot of dialogue in these movies comes across as very narmy when it's being lifted more or less directly from the books. Some lines work well when they're written down (even if it's only because they're accommodated by the writing style in general) but end up sounding incredibly silly when spoken aloud, especially to our 21st-century ears.
* Dr. Robinson's passionless declaration of love in ''Film/LostInSpace'': "I love you, wife."
* ''Love Me Deadly''. When McSweeney is embalming the male hooker alive. "NOOOOOOOOO! NAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOO, DON'T CUT MEEEE!"
[[/folder]]

[[folder:M]]
* ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}'', particularly in one film adaptation. Macbeth's henchmen are invading Macduff's castle and killing his lady and children...and his youngest son, after being stabbed, staggers over to Lady Macduff and says, "He has killed me, mother." Grade ten English lit had never been so hilarious.
** The immediately preceding lines from the murderer "What you egg! -stab- Young fry of treachery!" didn't help matters.
** It was probably the RomanPolanski version. That moment provoked plenty of laughter, but there's also the scene in which a hapless minion is shot in the head with a crossbow. The unconvincing make-up and the fellow's perplexed, stupid expression had everyone in stitches.
** It was justified in the original play. Sometimes you had to say "Oh noes, I'm dead!" because the audience in a theater production doesn't get to see the eyes close as you die. It still should have been cut in the film versions.
** The witches in that version were Narmy in a disturbing FetishRetardant way. The Orgy and prophecy scene, aside from being totally unlike the play, was both Narmy and [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs trippy]].
** The scene where Banquo's ghost appears at Macbeth's banquet. Macbeth cowers in terror as the rather gruesome ghost advances... the ghost disappears; cut to the nobles staring awkwardly at Macbeth. Their expressions are hilarious.
*** One of the best scenes in the movie, there. Ghost appears. Macbeth cowers. Ghost bleeds from the injuries that killed him. Okay. back to Macbeth, cowering. Cut back to ghost, spurting massive amounts of obviously fake blood from all over his body.
** One film of the play ends with a closeup of every character staring at Fleance, all with overdramatic looks on their faces. One almost expected them to start saying, "Janet! Brad! Dr. Scott!"
** OrsonWelles' version was decent, but he should have requested another costume designer. Welles complained about having to do his final showdown with Macduff [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Qi_l_pmRm0g/SgilDcABqHI/AAAAAAAAAx4/22HspYLtpgE/s400/Orson+Welles--Hat+06--Statue+of+Liberty--Klingon+Style.png dressed as the Statue of Liberty]]
** In the Judy Dench and IanMcKellen version (sounds awesome, right?) Lady Macbeth (Dench) is angsting to herself while her husband kills King Duncan. During the scene, Lady Macbeth is supposed to give what I assume is a half wail, half groan; unfortunately and hilariously, it comes out sounding like a squeaky door opening very slowly.
* ''TheManWhoFellToEarth'''s highly surreal nature leads to narm when protagonist Thomas Jerome Newton, out of anger, flips over a tray of cookies that his lover Mary-Lou brings over to him, and in slow motion, no less.
** '''Alot''' of the movie is narm, mainly due to all the unnecessary MindScrew elements.
** "GET OUT OF MY BRAIN! GO BACK TO WHERE YOU BELONG!"
* The end of ''MarleyAndMe'' is supposed to be [[spoiler:a tragic scene in which the dog dies]]. The way our protagonist [[spoiler:slowly closes Marley's eyes and the ungrammatical notes his children put in his grave]] are over the top for some people. Others will [[TearJerker still empathize,]] though.
* In the [[DeusAngstMachina relentlessly depressing]] ''Marvin's Room'', one of the characters is diagnosed with Leukemia. During a trip to Disney World, she's drinking a soda when she sees blood on her straw, gets lightheaded, and passes out. The scene ends with a PointOfView shot from her on the ground, as several people are looking down on her...and then ''Goofy'' enters the frame, and any drama left in the scene is washed out by giggling.
* ''Film/MaryShelleysFrankenstein'' gets pretty narmtastic a few times, especially "I will have my revenge . . . FRANKENSTEEEEEIIIIIIN!"
** The creature murders Elizabeth in a gruesome manner, [[spoiler: ripping her heart out]], but then her hair catches fire from some candles that were knocked over and Victor has to put it out before [[DiedInYourArmsTonight he can embrace her dead body]].
** Can't forget the scene where he first creates the monster. After a hilarious "LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!", the monster gets caught on hooks, knocked out, and dragged upwards, where we see its feet hanging. And the doctor ''just leaves it hanging there'' while he goes to collect himself!
* In ''MatchstickMen'', when NicolasCage's character freaks out in the pharmacy. The funniest nervous breakdown ever, and Cage has done ''many'' good/amusing ones in his career. Videos are [[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7TU28J8_2OU here]] and [[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd6QgqbIyh4&feature=related here]]. Watch out especially for his one-line Jamaican accent.
* During the finale of ''Film/TheMatrix'', Neo kicks the Agent. He proceeds to leave his leg stiff, foot above waist level as he moves it from facing forward to facing his side, then slowly lowers it. Surely intended to be dramatic, but it came across as silly.
** The way he nonchalantly says "no" sounds less like a man commanding bullets to stop and more like telling a cashier whether he wants fries with his burger.
** The bit where he fights the Agent off with one arm whilst looking slightly bored/stoned.
* In ''TheMatrixRevolutions'', the death of Trinity was meant to be poignant; but somehow, when the camera panned to her impaled body....
** [[FinalSpeech The worst part is that her dying words end up being a dying monologue. It's hard to keep the scene dramatic when Trinity just keeps talking.]]
** Hugo Weaving's EvilLaugh after [[spoiler:consuming The Oracle.]] See ForTheEvulz for the image.
** "...There is no spoon." It's supposed to be profound and philosophical, but Keanu Reeves' delivery makes it hilarious.
** In Neo's climatic battle with Smith, his mighty slow-motion punch to the face is suddenly rendered hilarious by Hugo Weaving's comically distorted face on impact
** Whilst hanging on for dear life above a twenty foot drop, the building which Neo is hanging onto shakes slightly, drawing attention to the fact that the scenery was made of styrofoam. It was funnier than the scene was originally intended to be.
** Agent Smith's monotone interrogation was actually hilarious due to the delivery. Until [[NightmareFuel the bugs show up.]]
** Neo and Trinity walk into a building and shed their cloaks, each carrying ''eight'' guns.
** "[[VerbThis Dodge This]]"
* From ''MeetJoeBlack'': BradPitt spends about three minutes standing in the middle of the street looking back at his love interest, when... [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDdN_b6TjYo&feature=related It needs to be seen to be believed.]]
* ''MenaceIISociety'' has the "Basehead" scene. It's actually a very accurate portrayal of how actual crackheads behave, and how their dealers treat them (though they usually don't kill them) but as most people are unfamiliar with such things it comes off narmy.
* ''Film/MinorityReport'' is a serious, sometimes-disturbing and always-absorbing film - until you realise that the police are using vomit-inducing weapons for crowd control, and that said weapons are called ''sick sticks''.
** Or the scene with the organ. What should have been a really dramatic moment was utterly ruined by the fact that ''none of the keys were pushed down''. Considering this is a Spielberg movie with a budget in excess of 100 million, you'd imagine they could have afforded some tape to stick them down.
* The beginning of ''The Miracle Worker'': Kate started screaming when she found that her child was blind and deaf. But it was [[LargeHam so overdone!]]
--> HELEN! HELEN! HELEN!
** The "Mama! Papa! SHE KNOWS!" scene was spoofed in the episode of ''StrangersWithCandy'' where Jerri learns to read, including one element you don't necessarily notice if you're not looking: After yelling this line, Annie Sullivan throws up her hands and just falls right out of frame while the family joyously and obliviously group-hugs.
* ''{{Misery}}'': During the big fight scene, just as Annie Wilkes (played by Kathy Bates) falls to the floor and hits her head on the typewriter, the actress is replaced by a [[SpecialEffectsFailure really bad looking Kathy Bates dummy]].
* ''MississippiBurning'', given its premise of racism in Mississippi, has a pretty serious tone through most of the movie. However, when one character yells at another down a hallway with cries of "Mr. Anderson" with the cadence of [[Film/TheMatrix Agent Smith]], the dramatic tone fizzles quickly into unintentional hilarity. Fortunately, this only affects that one scene.
* The final scene of ''TheMist''. When the [[spoiler:tanks come in]] with the most ''[[DiabolusExMachina contrivedly poor timing imaginable]]'', it's laughable. When [[spoiler:the woman who [[StupidGood walked headlong into the killer mist to save her children]]]] drives by, it's ''hilarious''.
** The protagonist's breakdown is doubly hilarious when his friends pointed out his silly sobs as his face contorted into the least convincing sad-face in all of cinema.
* ''MommieDearest'' is infamous for its narm. Even the ''director and lead actress'' repudiated many of the worst scenes, particularly the classic "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOILKHmZBwc NO...WIRE...HANGERS...EVEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRR!]]" line.
--->'''Joan''': Why can't you give me the '''''RESPECT''''' that I'm entitled to? Why can't you treat me like I would be treated by ''any stranger on the '''street'''''? \\
'''Christina''': [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTWWC6leyb0 BECAUSE I'M NOT ONE OF YOUR FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANS!]]
** "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpY0tmpLZBsTINA! BRING ME THE AXE!!]]"
---> You LOVE to make ME hit YOUUUUUUU!!
* From ''Film/MortalKombatAnnihilation''
--> '''Kitana:''' Mother, you're alive
--> '''Sindel:''' Too bad YOU... will die.
** The Elder Gods declaring at the end, "The fate of the universe will be decided as it should be... IN MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!" just tends to unintentionally lampshade how utterly absurd the whole concept of the franchise is.
* ''TheMothmanProphecies'' has a tense and dramatic scene where the main character receives a phone call from a mysterious stranger claiming to be near-omniscient. The character asks the caller to prove this by identifying what is sitting in his pocket. After a pause meant to build suspense, the whispery voice drawled out, "Chaaaaappppppstiiiiick" in what is supposed to be a creepy manner.
** On a side note: If only [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Gollum]] had possessed that power...
* ''MoulinRouge'' has Christian sobbing hysterically when [[spoiler: Satine dies]]. Those not similarly moved (with or without hysterics) by this scene may find it amusing.
* ''Film/{{The Mummy|1999}}'' has an intense action sequence in which a biplane carrying the heroes is attacked by a magical sandstorm. The sandstorm develops the scowling face of The Mummy, a nice effect... and then it cuts to him controlling the sandstorm by making funny faces in the desert, and the moment is lost.
** This happens again in the sequel, except this time Imhotep makes his face appear on a tidal wave.
** Then we get the sequel and the big, scary scorpion-demon thing with... a horribly-animated version of The Rock's face stuck upon it. Stephen Sommers (director and writer) mentioned that he was embarrassed about that. (Those scenes were completed last, with a deadline.)
*** There's also what should have been the big dramatic moment when Rick kills the Scorpion King, utterly ruined when Imhotep literally leaps into the shot like George Reeves as Superman for his BigNo - and does it a second ''late''...
** And then ''The Mummy 3'' came. Yetis appeared out of nowhere and beat up the Dragon Emperor's army.
*** Why did JetLi turn into King Ghidorah? Why?
*** Jet Li was pretty much allowing Ben to kick his ass at one point. Jet Li is known for his martial artistry. Watching this scene was, for his fans, like watching your favorite basketball player forced to play against a 12 year old while wearing clown shoes and a blindfold.
* SandraBullock is so unintentionally amusing in ''MurderByNumbers'' that it derails the rest of her filmography for some...
--> "It's a freaking baboon hair!"
** Yes, that ''is'' the line used in the theatrical version.
*** It gets even {{Narm}}ier when her character gets tackled and bitten by said baboon when she finds it. Other movies would have played that for the absolutely bizarre, ridiculous experience that it was -- ''MurderByNumbers'' decided that it was a good time for Bullock to deploy the Very Serious PTSD Flashback. (PTSD flashbacks = DudeNotFunny; PTSD flashbacks induced by a ''random baboon attack'' = unintentional hilarity.)
* The first wedding scene in the 1993 adaptation of Shakespeare's ''MuchAdoAboutNothing''. It was ''meant'' to be a shocking TearJerker as Claudio furiously exposes Hero's infidelity to the rest of the cast (he was actually tricked into thinking she was unfaithful), but [[LargeHam his acting]], and the scene in general is so over the top that it becomes an hilarious example of BlackComedy.
* ''MusicOfTheHeart'' is loaded with narm. It's quite unfortunate, because the true story on which it is based is genuinely inspiring. The film wastes a good source material, good casting and good music on [[PlayingAgainstType director Wes Craven]] and first-time screenwriter Pamela Gray. There is a lot of chunky exposition to the camera, unnecessary embellishment of real events, and a good deal of histrionics - see whenever Roberta yells at her really nice mom or her really nice kids. The characterisation of Roberta is garishly inconsistent - an incredible feat, considering Roberta Guaspari is ''a real person''. When MerylStreep starts to look like a bad actress, you know the script is beyond salvation.
* Vada's habit of singing "Doo Wah Diddy Diddy" fast when she's upset tends to ruin what are supposed to be emotional moments in ''MyGirl''.
* In ''My Sister's Keeper,'' Cameron Diaz breaks down into hilariously awful tears and what were meant to be heart-wrenching sobs. The audience wa still laughing even as [[spoiler:her daughter dies from cancer]].

* The scene in ''Film/TheNeverendingStory'' where the Child Empress is begging and crying for Bastian to give her a name. It's either the expressions or the repeated cries of "Bastian, PLEASE!" Though some found her quite touching.
** [[LargeHam Bastian's acting]]... Every time we see him react to what he's reading, it's pure Narm. '''Every. Time.'''
*** RobotChicken parodies this with Bastian reading the book while in the bathroom. "And then the boy took a big crap. Hey! I'M taking a big crap! WOOOOOW!!"
** "I WILL DO WHAT I DREAM!" is, without a doubt, the narmiest moment in the film. What makes this unfortunate is that the scene, with the dialogue as written, could have been a true dramatic and emotional moment on all sides. The line itself may be impossible not to {{Narm}}, but it may have been possible to deliver it with real conviction and [[NarmCharm wow even the most jaded audience]] with a talented actor.
** The scene where Bastian reads about Atreyu meeting the giant turtle. He looks up from the book and screams at the top of his lungs, creating a hilariously narmy moment.
* Oh God, ''Film/NightOfTheLepus''. [[TwoWordsObviousTrope Three words]]: Giant. Killer. ''Bunnies''. ''Cute, fluffy'' giant killer bunnies.
--> "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a herd of killer rabbits headed this way! Roll up your windows!"
* ''NightOfTheLivingDead'': '''"JOHNNY'S STILL OUT THERE!"'''
--> "A ''radio!''"
* ''Nights in Rodanthe''. Towards the end, [[spoiler:Diane Lane first finds out that Richard Gere is dead and is clutching their letters and crying]]; this may be funny to viewers outside the intended demographic.
* ''NinjaAssassin'' has an unforgettable scene where the hero and his potential love interest are tending bonsai trees.
-->'''Raizo:''' Trees don't have hearts.
-->'''Kiriko:''' Everything has a heart.
-->'''Raizo:''' I don't.
-->'''Kiriko:''' Want me to check? ''(she applies her ear to his chest)'' Yes. It says "Hello!" It misses you.
* ''Film/NoHoldsBarred'': [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AkymYB_Hso DOOOOOOOOOO-KIIIIIEEEEE!!!!]]
* ''{{Nosferatu}}'' manages to be downright scary despite its age, but there are some downright humorous moments that were supposed to be horrifying to the original audiences all those years ago. One example of this is the scene when Thomas Hutter, the protagonist of the film, [[spoiler:hails a "ghost carriage"]], which is shot at a higher speed than the rest of the film. This results in a humorous effect, as the [[spoiler:carriage]] starts and stops abruptly, as in the very earliest comedy films. Another scene involves the titular vampire, [[spoiler:who is moving to his new home across from Hutter's. He packs himself into a coffin, lays down, then magically moves the coffin lid over the coffin in a series of short, jumpy cuts (basically bad stop-motion)]] that make the scene more humorous than it should be. This also occurs later in the film, to the same effect.
* From Mexican {{Melodrama}} ''Nosotros los Pobres'':
--> ([[BreakTheCutie Pepe el Toro]], embracing his [[TooGoodforThisSinfulEarth dead baby]]): '''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozMnHwFqYTU TORITOOOOOO!]]'''
* You could write a ''book'' about all the Narm in ''TheNumber23''. To start off...the main character in the eponymous book is named '''''[[InherentlyFunnyWords Fingerling]]'''''. They try to write it off by claiming it's the name of the author's favorite children's book, but did ''no one'' working on the movie realize the potential hilarity of that name?
** The part where Walter's wife screams, "Look at all the BEAUTIFUL TWENTY-THREES! You don't want to DISAPPOINT them, DO YOU?"

[[folder:O]]
* In one TV-movie adaptation of ''Literature/TheOdyssey'', Odysseus throws a spear at a particularly large suitor, who promptly ''accelerates upward'' and gets pinned to a wall. Blessed by the gods, indeed.
* That famous scene from ''AnOfficerAndAGentleman'', when Zack screams, '''"DON'T YOU DO IT!! I GOT NOWHERE ELSE TO GOOOO!!!!!"''' is meant to show the audience how much pain the character is in. Except Richard Gere is ''really'' [[ChewingTheScenery overacting]] in it, making the scene really REALLY funny. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T575Pbo4eWM Go watch that scene]], and wonder why Gere hasn't done any real comedies outside of those cheesy [[RomanticComedy romantic ones]].
* ''TheOmen'' trilogy has plenty of comic death sequences.
* The scene in ''Literature/OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest'' where [[spoiler:[=McMurphy=] was given shock treatment]].
* A high percentage of ''Film/{{Orphan}}''. Seeing [[spoiler:what is supposedly]] a young girl hold a knife to her young brother's genitals and say "I'll cut off your hairless little prick before you even know what it's for," and then dress up like a total ho-bag and try to seduce her father -- that isn't scary or heartbreaking. It's funny.
** This film is trying to get people afraid of [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop orphans and disabled people.]] This is either absurd or [[UnfortunateImplications disturbing.]]
* ''Film/{{Outland}}'' is a good movie, but people's heads [[ExplosiveDecompression swell up and explode like water balloons]] at the slightest drop in air pressure. That, and two pivotal scenes take place in a futuristic ''racquetball court''.
* Oh, God, ''TheOutsiders''. Matt Dillon in Dally's dramatic death scene. The cops keep on shooting at him as he crawls around on the ground gasping and choking for almost a whole minute. In the book, after he was shot, he was dead before he hit the ground.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z197STS4Mg See for yourself.]]
** Matt Dillon is such a ham...
---> '''LET'S DO IT FO' JOHNNY!!'''
*** Dillon would later complain that Francis Coppola used the most over-the-top take of that line.

[[folder:P]]
* Though certain people consider it an ultimate TearJerker, the scene where [[spoiler: Trevor is stabbed and dies]] in ''PayItForward'' is ridiculous if you know anything at all about human anatomy. Put succinctly: unless he lay there for three hours before [=EMTs=] got to him, there's no way he should have died. It's as if the director was so desperate to extract more tears from the audience that she didn't care how she was gonna do it. For this scene, rolling the eyes and yelling "Oh, bullshit!" is just as appropriate as reaching for the Kleenex.
** He did it so humourously. [[SarcasmMode He should have recited a Shakespearean monologue.]]
* In the film adaptation of Philip K. Dick's ''{{Paycheck}}'', James Rethrick yells, "Still think you can change your fate, Mike? I AM THE FUTURE MIKE!", [[OrphanedPunchline referencing a deleted scene]] where Michael Jennings states that he believes he can change his fate.
* The scene in TheMovie of Patrick Suskind's ''Literature/{{Perfume}}'' in which [[spoiler: Alan Rickman finds his daughter's dead body]] is rendered extreme narm by his facial expression and arm movements.
** What about the ending? The utter horror of what happened is completely and utterly ruined by the dodgy slo-mo bodice ripping two frames later. Sure, it was never going to translate very well onto the screen anyway, but they could have tried to make it look slightly less like a Rennaisance-era Woodstock.
* The ''Film/{{Phantasm}}'' series is full of narm. For example, this line in [[PhantasmII the second film]]:
--> "You mean that story about me blowing up my house because it was infested with...''midgets''?"
** The way Jody says "Tommy" upon seeing said person's dead body in the first film.
* In the film version of AndrewLloydWebber's ''ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' has many examples, from Emmy Rossum's stilted line readings to Patrick Wilson's wig, from masquerade dancers doing the Robot to all that angsting over a face that could be considered "hideously disfigured" only by the broadest definitions of HollywoodHomely.
** Especially considering Christine calls it "so distorted, deformed, it was hardly a face"! Yes, she's a naive scared [[TheIngenue Ingenue]], but there are limits!
** The protagonist sings dramatically while ''being choked.''
** The dancers in the background of the "Point of No Return" scene. One ''Phantom of the Opera'' community refers to them as the "[[Film/ThePrincessBride Dread Pirate Roberts]] dancers".
** The horse in the middle of the title song: What's meant to be a tense, dramatic moment as the Phantom leads a bewitched Christine to his lair is made absolute Narm the moment the FridgeLogic hits--''how and why the hell did he get a horse into the sewers under the opera house''? Sure, it's supposed to be stylized and surreal, but the oh-so-pretty pony leaves people in stitches. The Paris Opera does have its own stables, and a horse figures in this scene in both the original novel and the silent film adaptation. But in this film, it's used to convey Christine down one short length of hallway and then promptly abandoned. And for bonus points, the {{BBC}} documentary ''Behind the Mask'' (about the original London staging) revealed there were plans to incorporate a horse into the stage version of the sequence, but it was dropped ''because'' it looked silly.
*** The title song is supposed to be scary and demonstrate the Phantom's power of suggestion, but the moving candelabras remind some people of [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast another moving candelabra]].
** Then there's the Phantom's toy opera house. Theoretically, the scenes of him moving around figurines of the other characters provide a [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] vibe; but he may just look like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMxTFqPET5I Dark Helmet playing with his dolls again]].
** Also from the film, any time Christine is singing. Yes, you recorded the songs in a sound studio; but don't just LIPSYNCH! Throat muscles can move, too!
*** Yes, and at the end of "Think Of Me" - you don't change pitch by moving your jaw up and down!
** "Clearly, Madame Giry, genius... has turned... into MADNESS." With Gerard Butler playing the Phantom, it's difficult to hear this line and not shout [[PunctuatedForEmphasis the obvious response]]. Plus, Raoul comes across as the OnlySaneMan in light of the Phantom's just-revealed backstory. (In the stage version, his backstory was only recounted through dialogue.)
** The dialogue after [[spoiler: Christine kissed the Phantom]] is simply hilarious.
** Gerard Butler is not the ideal voice of the Phantom. First, he's singing an octave low, and he's singing badly. The Phantom is meant to be an otherworldly operatic genius, but Butler can barely hit the notes at half their usual range. Wrong, bad... ''etc.'' All that remains -- is the problem Lloyd Webber's casting or Joel Schumacher's direction? This [[http://www.filmtracks.com/titles/phantom_opera.html review of the soundtrack album]] sums up the issue well.
*** The rest of the accent soup is no better than the Phantom's brogue. Why is Miranda Richardson talking like [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Pepe Le Pew?]]
* Speaking of ''Phantom of the Opera'', from the Lon Chaney silent film: The Phantom's last action before death in it is miming an invisible grenade, and then an abrupt surrender which can be interpreted as "Naw, I'm just messing with you."
** The mirror scene, where he has to poke Christine on the shoulder about a dozen times before she finally notices him with appropriate levels of shock.
** There are some overly {{melodrama}}tic title cards in the silent film.
-->"Believe in my love, Raoul, and save me from that monster--oh, save me!"
** When Christine sneaks up behind the Phantom to take his mask off, the anticipation is deflated a bit when she bumps against a violin hanging on the wall, leaving it swinging back and forth for the rest of the scene.
* The ending of ''ThePianoTeacher'' is halfway between this and straight DarthWiki/WallBanger territory.
* Mink Stole's best line in ''PinkFlamingos'':
--> They castrated him! '''''His penis is gone!'''''
* The opening scene of ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd'', with the mass hanging of the pirates and the little boy leading them in the "Hoist the Colours" song, is properly chilling -- but it loses a bit of its edge when one soldier, I'll call him CaptainObvious, rushes over to Beckett and tells him, "They've started to sing, sir." There are hundreds of condemned pirates, and Beckett is yards away. It's... very unlikely he wasn't already aware.
* Creator/EdWood's screenplays are full of embarrassing dialogue and narration. From ''Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace'':
--> [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhvDMhrws1o Your stupid minds! Stupid! ''STUPID!'']].\\
"Let 'im finish!"
** Also from that film:
---> "Now hold on a minute!"\\
"No, ''you'' hold on!"
-->"Because all you of Earth are ''IDIOTS''!"
-->"One thing is sure...Inspector Clay is dead, ''murdered'', and somebody's responsible!
-->"What do you think will be the next obstacle the Earth people will put in our way?"\\
"Well, as long as they can think, we'll have our problems."
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5R_pS0h5Qk You maniacs! You blew it all up!]]" as said by Charlton Heston in ''PlanetOfTheApes''. The viewer has known that the planet is Earth since ten minutes after the landing ([[AllThereIsToKnowAboutTheCryingGame even if the viewer in question has lived under a rock and hasn't heard the premise of the movie]]). But when Heston's character sees the broken Statue of Liberty at the very end (just a few frames before we do), he [[HeroicBSOD cracks up,]] pounding sand and screaming.
* Eric Robert's crying in ''Pope of Greenwich Village'': "THEY TOOK MY THUMB, CHAAAAARRRLLLLIIIIIIIEEEE!!!! THEY TOOK MY THUMB!!!"
* ''The Prince of Tides'' is a prime source of narm. The hilarious break-down scene where Nick Nolte break down crying in BARBRA's arms and she whispers "it was sooo hard, you've had to keep it all inside" while a single tear runs down her shiny, shiny face is a prime example of narm. The entire film is indeed one big narm-fest, where chewing the scenery is not only encouraged but required.
* ''Film/{{Predator}}'' has that infamous quote as Arnold is going down the river:
--> "RUN! GO! [[strike:GET TO THE CHOPPA!]] ''' ''[[MemeticMutation GET TOO ZE CHOPPA!]]'' '''"
** When Arnold realizes he's been played by Carl Weathers's character:
---> "ET ZALL BOOL SHET!!! ALL OV ET!"
** When Ahnold is beating Carl Weathers at arm wrestling:
---> "What's the mattah? CIA got you pooshing too many PAHNSEALS?"
** In [[{{Predator 2}} the second movie]], it could be argued that the sight of a {{badass}}, invisible alien hunter saying "Want some candy?" falls directly into Narm.
* In the British film ''Pressure,'' pretty much anything the mother says is narm. She is overly-dramatic to the worst extent.
* KarlUrban is just terribly narmy as the villain in the loose film adaptation of ''Film/{{Priest}}''. His character has a grandiosity that does not suit the mood of the film.
* From the remake of ''Film/PromNight2008'': they tried hard to scare the audience by having the protagonist bump into a lamp.
* In ''ProblemChild'', a scene where Junior and his criminal hero go to the circus was probably meant to be an example of DudeNotFunny, but Michael Richards' delivery in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHKotCnjYow this scene]] is just so hilarious that even a little kid will laugh at watching a random clown get socked.
* ''Film/TheProfessional'' has one Narmtastic scene in an otherwise great movie: After helping Mathilda escape Stansfield and his goons by stuffing her into the air duct, Leon suddenly turns around and BELLOWS into the camera like he's turning into a werewolf.
** Gary Oldman as Stansfield yelling "EVE - RY - ONE" in response to an underling questioning what he means by "everyone" when he tells him to get "everyone." His delivery is so loud and each syllable is so drawn out that it's almost impossible to take seriously.
* The 1979 film, ''Film/{{Prophecy}}'' has a priceless moment where a terrified kid tries to flee a mutated bear...by bunny-hopping away in his bright yellow sleeping bag. The bear then punches the kid into a rock, where he [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zLb9UtQhy8&feature=player_embedded#! EXPLODES in a shower of fluffy feathers]]. It sounds gory, but coupled with the dramatic music and the bear roaring, it's unintentionally hilarious.
* As balls-explodingly awesome as ''TomYumGoong a.k.a. The Protector'' is, and as much as it's clearly supposed to be dramatic, the scene where a bunch of {{Giant Mook}}s put Tony Jaa's elephant in a headlock and throw it across the room is flat-out hilarious.
* Okay, ''Film/{{Psycho}}'' is a fantastically creepy movie and justly regarded as one of the greatest films ever made. That said, Anthony Perkins looks...''silly'' [[spoiler:in old lady drag]].
** [[{{Psycho 1998}} Vince Vaughn]] looks even worse.
* In ''{{Push}}'', the Screamers were supposed to be menacing, but they looked kind of ridiculous because of the way their faces contorted when they screamed (and because they were men with a superpower commonly attributed to women). [[spoiler: Except at the end, when the boys' father finds his sons dead and turns out to be not only a Screamer, but also extremely powerful. OhCrap.]]
** Even the screamers at the end seemed hilarious. Every time something tries to get done in an action sequence in this movie, some Screamer shows up out of nowhere and makes his O-face, and everybody else collapses in pain. They need their own family sitcom.
