#2 Team America - Three kinds of people

Director: Trey Parker
Genre: Comedy/Puppets
Key Players: Gary Johnston (Trey Parker - voice)

A saddend Gary Johnston seeks comfort in a bar when he's approached by a bearded drunk delivering one of those classic Trey Parker/Matt Stone over-the-top disgusting slash amazing trademark speeches they have come to master: a blend of extreme cursing and weird (but wonderful) logic. The scene ends climatically with a fountain of barf worthy an Oscar for something.

#1 Braindead - Lawn mower massacre

Director: Peter Jackson
Genre: Horror/Comedy
Key Players: Timothy Balme, a shitload of zombies

Seventeen years after the fact, Braindead is still considered as one of the most influential pieces within the horror/comedy genre. With many funny moments to chose from, people best seem to remember the outrageous house party at the end and it's classic blood soaked ending. Armed with only a lawn mower, our hero Lionel, mows his way through a crowd of zombies, literally wading through a pool of blood and slippery guts. Now, that's funny.
