  Humans all seem to have an innate belief that our lives, and thus our deaths, have some sort of meaning. Even in the language of film, we've grown accustomed to the fact that if we know a character's name, if we've heard them speak, their death will hold some measure of gravitas. 

  That's why it's so brilliantly funny when Vincent Vega (John Travolta) accidentally blows Marvin's head off in the middle of a casual conversation. The deadpan delivery of "I shot Marvin in the face" only adds to the comedic contrast of the moment. A man has perished, a mother has lost her son, yet Vincent and Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) discuss this in the same tone they discussed cheeseburgers at the beginning of the film. 

  It's... well, it's hilarious. Is that okay to admit? Who knows, but the important thing is that this scene is funny.

  (#12) Vincent Vega In 'Pulp Fiction'

  You don't pull on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind, and you don't under any circumstances interrupt Bruce Willis while he's trying to enjoy a nice off-brand Pop-Tart. You especially don't do that if you have already alerted Bruce to your presence by leaving your silenced pistol on the table. This not only lets Bruce know you're there, but gives him said silenced pistol to then shoot you with. Honestly, it's sloppy work, and you never want to let your guard down around a wild Bruce.

  This scene was extra funny because Vincent Vega was the lead character, and suddenly he's just done for. That's it - he's gone. Honestly, a movie unceremoniously killing off a lead character is just never going to get old.

Simpson, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Reggie Jackson, Leslie Nielsen, Priscilla Presley, Jim Palmer, George Kennedy, Ricardo Montalbán, Tim McCarver, Dick Vitale, Dick Enberg, John Houseman, Joyce Brothers, Mel Allen, Curt Gowdy, Nancy Marchand, Joe Grifasi, Brinke Stevens, Lawrence Tierney, David Gale, Nicholas Worth, Hank Robinson, Tom Dugan, Burton Zucker, Conrad E.

  "He'll be all right in a couple of minutes," is a line spoken by Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) after accidentally shooting a man, and seconds before that same man falls off a building and is run over in succession by a bus, a steamroller, and an entire marching band. 

  A joke so good, in a movie so funny, that Family Guy basically developed its entire style of comedy from it. A joke isn't over until it's over, and if you think it's dragging, keep it going until it comes back around to being funny. The joke could have ended with the fall, and it still would have been funny. It could have ended with the bus and the steamroller and have been genius. With the addition of the marching band, it ascends into comedy heaven.

  (#5) Deep Blue Sea

  • Samuel L. Jackson, LL Cool J, Thomas Jane, Saffron Burrows, Stellan Skarsgård, Frank Welker, Michael Rapaport, Erinn Bartlett, Renny Harlin, Aida Turturro, Ronny Cox, Jacqueline McKenzie, Mary Kay Bergman, Valente Rodriguez, Eyal Podell, Brent Roam, Cristos, Dan Thiel, Daniel Rey, Tajsha Thomas, Sarah Kelly, Sabrina Geerinckx

  You ever have one of those days? You know, one of those days when you're giving an inspirational speech to your stranded crew about how man is more lethal than nature, and just as you reach your crescendo, a massive shark comes out of nowhere and devours you? This is like if in the middle of Neil Armstrong's "one small step for man" speech, he was stepped on by a giant man.

  Well, this is exactly what happened to Samuel L. Jackson's character in Deep Blue Sea. The massive shark part, not the human stepping on him part. You get the point.

  (#14) Commando

  • Arnold Schwarzenegger, Alyssa Milano, Bill Paxton, Bill Duke, Dan Hedaya, Rae Dawn Chong, David Patrick Kelly, Robert Lee Minor, Vernon Wells, James Olson, Drew Snyder, Gary Cervantes, Sharon Wyatt, Michael Adams, Lenny Juliano, Michael Delano

  Losing doesn't always have to feel bad. On the other hand, losing when you think you should have won? Losing when the cards are stacked in your favor? That feels horrendous. 

  In Commando, Bennett has the cards stacked in his favor. He's holding a side arm pointed directly at Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Arnold has nothing. He's empty-handed. But, in the time it takes Bennett to cock his piece, Arnold rips a pipe straight off the wall and throws it through Bennett's chest. 

  And that... wow, that must have felt terrible. Just embarrassing, to be honest.

  The Other Guys sets up Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson as two of the biggest bad*sses to ever live. Like the great action heroes who have come before them, these two seemed invincible. That's why when they leap off a skyscraper in pursuit of a group of high-tech bad guys, the audience is positive they'll land on some sort of awning and keep up the chase - and that's also why it's so uproariously funny when they instead simply smack into the ground, lifeless.

  Never in recorded history has there been a more abrupt, or funnier, transition to a funeral. And on a side note - what bush were they aiming for in the first place?
