Random Funniest Death Scenes In Movie History (16 items)

• 

  (#1) Zombieland

  • Emma Stone, Amber Heard, Bill Murray, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin, Mike White, Ric Govea, Steve Warren, Chris Burns, Barry Hopkins, Elle Alexander, Ernest Dancy, Blaise Corrigan, Shaun Lynch, Derek Graf, Cody Rowlett, Lynn McArthur, Amir Kovacs, Jon Gould, Clay Walker, Jade Moser, Daniel Burnley, Steve Prouty, Cesar Aguirre, Justin Price, Nathan Wright, Travis Grant, Sonya Thompson, Ashley Lambert, April Rich, Brian Stretch, Anthony Samples, Amir R. Khan, Dalton Cole, Robert Hatch, Travis Young, Steven Stadler, Hunter Aldridge, Michael August, Jacob G. Akins, Scott M. Yaffee, Kurt McNew, Ming Qiu, Tammy Luthi Retzlaff, Sydnie Dawson, Melanie Booth, Michelle Sebek, Sean Hilton Stephens, Darian O'Rear, Joan Schuermeyer, Jessalin Smith, Devin Ray, Brian Luallen, Paul A. Moser, Victory Van Tuyl

  Bill Murray's sudden appearance and demise in Zombieland is a stroke of genius. Despite the obvious fantasizing of taking over a celebrity's mansion in the event of an extinction-level scenario, no zombie movie had ever really explored this dynamic before. There's something inherently fascinating about being a celebrity in a post-celebrity, post-apocalyptic world, and honestly, that could be a movie in itself. 

  Murray's demise once again uses the contrast of "this is a movie, of course, they're going to be okay" with the stark reality of "oh, no, they are absolutely not okay." Murray is convinced to pull a prank on Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) by Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) and Wichita (Emma Stone), who both assure him it's going to be hilarious because Columbus is like "a little bunny." Naturally, when Murray enters the room dressed like a zombie, Columbus blows a hole through his chest with a shotgun.

  Luckily, Murray's passing isn't quite as immediate, and he deadpans through some hilarious lines before drifting away.

  (#2) Pulp Fiction

  • John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson, Christopher Walken, Quentin Tarantino, Steve Buscemi, Kathy Griffin, Tim Roth, Harvey Keitel, Rosanna Arquette, Ving Rhames, Eric Stoltz, Julia Sweeney, Amanda Plummer, Phil LaMarr, Dick Miller, Alexis Arquette, Peter Greene, Bronagh Gallagher, Maria de Medeiros, Frank Whaley, Paul Calderón, Lawrence Bender, Karen Maruyama, Michael Gilden, Stephen Hibbert, Duane Whitaker, Emil Sitka, Angela Jones, Burr Steers, Don Blakely, Joseph Pilato, Rene Beard, Venessia Valentino, Linda Kaye, Brad Parker, Chandler Lindauer, Glendon Rich, Ani Sava, Brenda Hillhouse, Susan Griffiths, Robert Ruth, Lorelei Leslie, Eric Clark, Rich Turner, Devan Richardson, Jerome Patrick Hoban, Carl Allen, Sy Sher, Laura Lovelace, Gary Shorelle, Cie Allman, Lori Pizzo

  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.
• 

  (#3) Jurassic Park

  • Samuel L. Jackson, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Laura Dern, Sam Neill, Wayne Knight, B. D. Wong, Ariana Richards, Richard Kiley, Miguel Sandoval, Bob Peck, Joseph Mazzello, Martin Ferrero, Whit Hertford, Gary Rodriguez, Robert 'Bobby Z' Zajonc, Jophery C. Brown, Cameron Thor, Gerald R. Molen, Dean Cundey, Christopher John Fields, Greg Burson, Brian Smrz, Laura Burnett, Brad M. Bucklin, Tom Mishler, Adrian Escober

  Sometimes when looking back on historically funny death scenes, it's hard to appreciate them for what they were because there have now been so many derivative versions of the scene. How many movies nowadays - from horror, to sci-fi, to romcoms - feature a character getting eaten by a T. rex straight off the toilet? Too many to count!

  Well, when Gennaro was first plucked off his porcelain throne to be devoured by a hungry T. rex in Jurassic Park, that was the first time something like that had ever happened. Hard to believe, right? This scene also receives slapstick bonus points for the entire bathroom surrounding Gennaro falling to pieces like it was a set piece in a Charlie Chaplin movie.

  (#4) The Other Guys

  • Eva Mendes, Dwayne Johnson, Mark Wahlberg, Brooke Shields, Will Ferrell, Samuel L. Jackson, nm1157013, Michael Keaton, Ice-T, Anne Heche, Tracy Morgan, Natalie Zea, Rosie Perez, Ray Stevenson, Rob Riggle, Steve Coogan, Bobby Cannavale, Lindsay Sloane, Adam McKay, Damon Wayans, Jr., Zak Orth, Ben Schwartz, Alison Becker, Zach Woods, Rob Huebel, Josef Sommer, Malachy McCourt, Thomas Middleditch, Will Lyman, Zoe Lister-Jones, Paul Thornton, Sara Chase, Matt McCarthy, Brett Gelman, Andy Buckley, Kevin Collins, Barry Carl, Rosemary Howard, Harry L.

Thewes, Jake Quinn, Jamie Dugal, Sebastian Sommer, Warren Kelley, Ai Kiyono

  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?
• 

  (#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.

  (#6) The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!

  • O. J. 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. Palmisano, Charlotte Zucker, Raye Birk, Mark Holton, Robert Arthur, Winifred Freedman, Susan Breslau, Ron Luciano, Robert K. Weiss, Stuart Lancaster, Tiny Ron Taylor, Jeannette Charles, Joe West, Christopher J.

Montes, Larry Pines, Greg Breslau, Kenny Kaiser

  "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.

  (#7) The Blues Brothers

  • Carrie Fisher, Aretha Franklin, Steven Spielberg, Ray Charles, Dan Aykroyd, James Brown, John Belushi, John Candy, Chaka Khan, Joe Walsh, Paul Reubens, Mr. T, John Lee Hooker, Twiggy, John Landis, Frank Oz, Henry Gibson, James Avery, Steve Lawrence, Steve Cropper, Cab Calloway, Charles Napier, Kathleen Freeman, Donald Dunn, Matt Murphy, Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, Big Walter Horton, Ralph Foody, James DuMont, Alan Rubin, Murphy Dunne, Steven Williams, Lou Marini, Lou Perryman, Carolyn Franklin, Leonard R.

Walling, Layne Britton, Rosie Shuster, Janine King, Raven De La Croix, Tom Malone, Jack Orend, John Ring, Charles Mountain, Stan Mazin, Michael Klenfner, Bill Telfer, Armand Cerami, Sean Hayden, Walter Levine, Tom Erhart, Calvin "Fuzz" Jones, Wally Engelhardt, Gary McLarty, Cindy Fisher, Sheilah Wells, Toni Fleming, Paul Swearingen, Dean Hill, Kristi Oleson, Shirley Levine Landis, Blair Burrows, Vicki Petite, Elizabeth Hoy, Brenda Bryant, Leonard Daniels, Jack Callahan, Gil Pearson, Steven Rozic, Gwen Banta, Margaret Branch, Kevin Huotari, Steve Cruz, Gene Schuldt, Andrew Goodman, J. Bernard Walton, Lemetrius Daniels, Joe Cuttone, Lari Taylor, Russ Bruzek, Gary Patzik, Tony Farella, Aaron Jais, Eugene J. Anthony, Butch Williams, Alonzo Atkins, Babatunde Myers, Tony M. Conde

  There's no funnier or more well-deserved demise than that of a Nazi. And in The Blues Brothers, a whole lot of absurdity and slapstick is added to said demise. 

  The scene in question begins with two of the last three men to ever pull off a fedora (the other taking place in White Collar) heading way too fast down a broken bridge. At the last second, the Blues Brothers use their powers of coolness and jazz to make their car do an enormously high backflip, sending them behind and moving away from the in-pursuit Nazis. This leaves the bad guys on their own, launching off the bridge to their ultimate end. But do they just crash and burn? No - they're first shown to be so incredibly high in the air that they're on par with the Sears Tower, before falling very slowly toward the ground below.

  The filmmakers must have known that watching them fall from a regular-sized bridge wouldn't have been enough time to savor the moment.

  (#8) Django Unchained

  • Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, Jamie Foxx, Quentin Tarantino, Jonah Hill, Christoph Waltz, Don Johnson, Bruce Dern, Amber Tamblyn, Walton Goggins, Franco Nero, James Remar, Tom Wopat, Tom Savini, Robert Carradine, Zoe Bell, Michael Parks, Russ Tamblyn, Nichole Galicia, James Russo, Michael Bowen, M.

Cook, Danièle Watts, Takara Clark, Craig Stark, Carl Bailey, Sandra Linz, Tristan Tierce, David Coennen, Kay Smith, Shannon Hazlett, Kel Owens, Mike DeMille, Lil Chuuuch, Marsha Stephanie Blake, Nicholas Dashnaw, Carl Singleton, Tenaj L. Jackson, Marcus Henderson, Monica Rene'e Anderson, Kerry Sims, Miriam F. Glover, Ronan Hice, Keniaryn Mitchell, Sonny Clary, Cindy Mah, Grace Collins

  In real life, someone wrongs you, and that's basically the end of it. You might stay up late into the night imagining what you should have done, but in the actual moment, the vast majority of people choose to do nothing. Luckily, it doesn't work that way in films. In a movie, someone can have their comeuppance immediately, and it's incredibly satisfying to watch. 

  In the back half of Django Unchained, Django convinces a group of slave traders to let him go, so he can lead them to even greater riches. The traders agree, and then the exact moment Django is handed a gun, he shoots all three of them. Quentin Tarantino, playing one of the traders, happens to be holding a sack full of dynamite, and thus his character bites the dust in a massive - and perfectly timed - explosion.

  (#9) Zoolander

  • Natalie Portman, Paris Hilton, Heidi Klum, David Bowie, Milla Jovovich, Donald Trump, Gwen Stefani, Lil' Kim, Victoria Beckham, Winona Ryder, Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Lenny Kravitz, David Duchovny, Alexander Skarsgård, Claudia Schiffer, Andy Dick, Cuba Gooding Jr., Jon Voight, Christian Slater, Jennifer Coolidge, Patton Oswalt, Christine Taylor, Emma Bunton, James Marsden, Tommy Hilfiger, Fred Durst, Sandra Bernhard, Gavin Rossdale, Justin Theroux, Jerry Stiller, Billy Zane, Lance Bass, Tom Ford, Tyson Beckford, Karl Lagerfeld, Garry Shandling, Stephen Dorff, Nora Dunn, Anne Meara, Mark Ronson, Fabio Lanzoni, Veronica Webb, Frankie Rayder, Lukas Haas, Irina Pantaeva, Godfrey, Carmen Kass, Tony Ashwin Kanal, Melania Trump, Dave Brockie, Jennifer Dorogi, Judah Friedlander, Theo Kogan, Kevyn Aucoin, Shavo Odadjian, Ève Salvail, Steve Kmetko, Tina Casciani, Jerry Stahl, Vikram Chatwal, Alexa Nikolas, Amy Stiller, Andrew Wilson, David Pressman, Endre Hules, Johann Urb, Ric Pipino, Richie Rich, John Vargas, Frédéric Fekkai, Dechen Thurman, Mauricio Sanchez, Chris Kerson, Nathan Lee Graham, Matt Levin, "Tubb" Tucker, Randall Slavin, Shabazz Ray, Cheryl Cosenza, Eric Winzenried, Michael Derks, Alexandria Morrow, Jennifer McComb, Guy Perry, Lisa Ann Phillips, Rohan Quine, Woodrow W. Asai, Flattus Maximus, Luther Creek, Jonah Luber, Jeff Van Atta, Shawna Bermender, Taj Crown, Gregory J. Lucas, Eliot Johnson, Angel 11:11, Richard Stanley, Scott Strasbaugh, Rudy Segura, Colin McNish, Mason Webb, Mitch Winston, Luc Commeret, Alexandre Manning, Michael McAlpin, Darren Copeland, Svetlana, Kenny Max, Kashana, Zoya, Richard Gladys, Boris Kachscovsky, Charles L.

Blake, Kristen Fick, Autumn Leigh Brown, Amanda Pham, Slymenstra Hymen, Eric Floyd, Kevin Squires, Ethan Higbee

  A summer's day. Four friends are frolicking together across New York City. Among them, there isn't a single care, or college credit, to be found. It's a classic afternoon hang; they run, they play, they splash each other with gasoline, they light up a cigarette, and they blow up an entire gas station. 

  Zoolander is a cartoonish film that abides by cartoonish logic. It's the only type of world in which four adult men would even think having a gasoline fight was a good idea in the first place. So when that cartoonish logic is suddenly switched off, and their actions have actual consequences that lead to their incredibly abrupt demise, it's one of the funniest moments in the entire film.

  (#10) Big Trouble in Little China

  • Kurt Russell, Kim Cattrall, John Carpenter, James Hong, Kate Burton, Gerald Okamura, Al Leong, Dan Inosanto, James Lew, Jerry Hardin, George Cheung, Victor Wong, Noel Toy, Chao-Li Chi, Jeff Imada, James Pax, Donald Li, Bill M. Ryusaki, Stuart Quan, Dennis Dun, Nathan Jung, Kenny Endoso, Peter Kwong, Leo Lee, June Kyoto Lu, Carter Wong, Dawna Lee Heising, Lia Chang, Paul J.Q. Lee, Eric Lee, James Lou, Gary Toy, Noble Craig, William S. Wong, Brian Imada, Daniel Lee, Danny Kwan, Jade Go, Vernon Rieta, Suzee Pai, Daniel Wong, Jimmy Jue, Shinko Isobe, William B. Snider, Yukio G. Collins, Diana Tanaka, Min Luong, Donna L. Noguschi, Rummel Mor, Craig Ng

  Here's the scenario: Your friends are lying lifeless around you, and your enemies outnumber you 4-to-1. What do you do? 

  An amateur fighter might choose to push through and keep fighting, leading to their inevitable demise in hand-to-hand combat. 

  Not a professional fighter, though. A true champion, like Thunder in Big Trouble in Little China, knows that sometimes the only honorable way out is to expand your body past its limits so that your entire being explodes, killing you and causing the roof to cave in on your enemies. 

  Look at the above picture long and hard - that's what a true hero looks like.

  (#11) John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum

  • Keanu Reeves, Halle Berry, Ruby Rose, Ian McShane, Mark Dacascos, Common, Lance Reddick, Laurence Fishburne, Jason Mantzoukas, Anjelica Huston

  John Wick is often mistaken for an assassin or hit man, but he's really an artist. He's an artist, and his medium is death. His canvas? The entire world. His tools? Everything and anything within arm's reach. John proves this throughout the franchise, but no moment is it better exemplified than when he eliminates two men by causing a horse to kick with impeccable timing.  

  "Death by horse." That's what their obituaries would say. If they're lucky, it might say, "Death by a horse being controlled by the deadliest man the world has ever known." But, even then, most people would probably start laughing after "death by horse" and not get to the rest. 

  "Unnamed Goon (1985-2019). He Died As He Lived - Horsin' Around."

  (#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.
• 

  (#13) American Psycho

  • Christian Bale, Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, Josh Lucas, Chloë Sevigny, Samantha Mathis, Cara Seymour, Justin Theroux, Guinevere Turner. Reese Witherspoon

  Christian Bale delivers a hilarious and haunting performance as the titular American Psycho. No part of the movie captures this character's essence better than the slaying of Paul Allen. Allen, thinking he's been invited to Patrick Bateman's (Bale) house for dinner, is relaxing (drugged) on a covered chair in Bale's living room. Although he notices the newspaper on the ground (to clean up the mess), he isn't fully aware that anything strange is happening. And even without the homicidal intent, Bateman is acting strange.

  When you think of a killer, you probably think of someone angrily and violently going about their "work." Bale's performance is in stark contrast to that assumption, as he dances and explains the nuances of Huey Lewis and the News just seconds before splitting Allen open with his ax.

  Funny? To a degree. Disturbing? On a whole new level.
• 

  (#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.
• 

  (#15) The Ballad of Buster Scruggs

  • Tim Blake Nelson, Liam Neeson, James Franco, Zoe Kazan, Tyne Daly, Tom Waits

  Challenging someone to a duel in the Wild West is a terrifying proposition. No matter what happens, one of you isn't walking away alive. With that said, Buster Scruggs couldn't have been less scared as he follows Joe's brother out into the town square for their duel.

  Buster begins their showdown by blasting off all five fingers on Joe's brother's right hand. You'd think doing something like that would just about end the fight - but no, Joe's brother is a fighter, and he struggles to grab his side arm with his left hand (the one that still has fingers).  

  This leaves Buster in a bit of a predicament, as he only has one bullet left. You can tell Buster is scared by the method in which he turns around, pulls out a mirror, and fires his remaining bullet backward into the chest of Joe's brother.
• 

  (#16) Out of Sight

  • Jennifer Lopez, George Clooney, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Don Cheadle, Viola Davis, Albert Brooks, Catherine Keener, Ving Rhames, Isaiah Washington, Luis Guzmán, Nancy Allen, Steve Zahn, Dennis Farina, Jennifer Dorogi, Paul Calderón, Joe Chrest, James R. Black, Al Quinn, Wayne Pere, Joe Coyle, Keith Loneker, Manny Suárez, Thelma Gutiérrez, Oscar A. Diaz, Connie Sawyer, Brad Martin, Donna Frenzel, Philip Perlman, Paul Soileau, Keith Hudson, Joe Hess, Dee Tew, Chic Daniel, Chuck Castleberry, Susan Hatfield, Rick Michaels, Scott Allen, Sherrie Peterson, Mike Malone, Betsy Monroe, Mark Brown, Pati Lauren, Gregory Alpert, Mike Gerzevitz, Ronnie Stutes, Jim Robinson, Stephen M. Horn, Sandra Ives, Wendell B. Harris, Jr.

  White Boy Bob fatally wounded himself when he fell while running up a set of stairs, accidentally firing his piece through his own head. White Boy Bob seems to be the only person at fault in this mishap, but there's an argument to be made that the American education system is just as guilty. Maybe if students were told a little less about the dangers of running with scissors, and a little more about the dangers of running with a loaded pistol, this could have been avoided. 

  When your nickname is based on the immediate attributes someone finds out about you within five seconds of meeting you, you're probably not a very interesting guy. Luckily, White Boy Bob can leave the Earth knowing his new nickname is "Guy Who Shot Himself on the Stairs in Out Of Sight Bob."
