    The whole women drivers bit in TSWLM, with Jaws ripping the van apart.

    "I hope you don't snore Q" in LTK.

    The bit with Wades tattoo in Goldeneye.

    The old couple on the train platform in Skyfall.

    Tanner slagging M off in Goldeneye, "evil queen of numbers", etc, then she shows up behind him.

    "M" "Bitch" In Skyfall.

    The wheelchair bit in Die Another Day.

    Bond knocking the kid into the river in TMWTGG.

    The police getting drenched in the TWINE PTS (got a big cheer when I went to see it).

    Kincade calling Bond a jumped up little sh*t in Skyfall.

    Bond bowing then kicking the guy in the balls in TMWTGG. That's one of my favourite Moore moments.

    In TLD, there's "why couldn't you learn the violin?!", and then "I'm glad I told you to bring that cello"

    You SEE? Those little moments of absurdity is what sets the Bond movies apart from Smiley, Bourne, Ryan, etc. Other movies have 'borrowed' from Bond, but nobody does it better!

    The Austin Powers acknowledgements are embarrassing to say the least. They try to copy James Bond, but fail dismally. Some things are better just left alone

    at the end of MR:
    "M: What's Bond doing?
    Q: I think he's attempting re-entry sir"

    In SF when Bond is
    chasing after the train and they cut to a bystander: "He's keen to get home!"

    Most of DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER, but in a good way.

    I LOL'd in SP when Bond pointed at that guy and said "Stay."

    This is the most laugh out loud moment in Bond history:

    - Dog taking a piss in TB. I know: vulgar, but it's such a funny background event...
    - "One of the two smells like a tart's handkerchief... I'm afraid it's me. Sorry, ol' boy."
    - Brosnan's reaction when he hears the voice of his BMW on TND: "Hey, I know her!"
    - "I'm Mickey Mouse"

    Q's "M wants my balls for Christmas decorations" gave me a chuckle.

    The wittiness of DAF's dialogue is always entertaining, especially Connery's "Named after your father, perhaps". Some of the poorer elements of DAF (like the guy in the PTS saying "Cai..Cai...Cairo" without moving his mouth is also pretty funny. I also liked the "economy tour" line in OP and the way Max Kalba casually shrugs off Moore's "Bond, James Bond" in TSWLM. Oh, and Stromberg casually pressing a button to blow up a helicopter, then saying "Cancel transfer of 20 million dollars".

    A couple of physical actions like Moore taking the umbrella to "help" Sir Godfrey in AVTAK and Brosnan looking away from Dr Kaufman in TND despite the latter's gun being trained on him also make me laugh.

    Bond: My name is Bond. James Bond.
    Police: Is he?
    Stacey: Are you?
    Bond (dead serious): Yes.

    The funniest 'Bond, James Bond' ever.

    I still maintain that the most naturally funny line was in GE:

    "She always did enjoy a good squeeze."

    But not that kind of squeeze!

    Really though, the best kind of humour in Bond is the witty dialogue. Slapstick doesn't work most of the time. In TSWLM no one really laughs when Jaws drops the big stone on his feet, but everyone laughs at the 'keeping the British end up' line.

    Casino Royale - 'I've got an itch down there ...'

    Casino Royale _ 'How was your lamb?'
    - 'Skewered, one sympathises.'

    Skyfall - the look on Bond's face as his DB5 explodes.

    Skyfall - Bond pointing to the Komodo Dragon

    Definitely. :D

    And I don't mean it in a bad way. It's why I love that interpretation of Bond the most. :D

    Bond s reaction to 009 s music of choice got a laugh from me.

    Day? Wasted. Agent? Provocateur. Woman? Provocatrix. M? Bitch.

    "keeping the British end up"
    "I think they were on their way to a funeral"
    "I didn't know there was a pool down there"

    And the gag when Bond is in the gorilla costume and is checking the time. It is silly but it always makes me laugh.

    In mine, too.

    Wint and Kidd always make me laugh as well.

    Another bloody fun line:

    "He had a lot of guts!"

    Which is so contrary to the book, where Bond feels sickened and disgusted by witnessing that.

    The thing that ruins that line for me is the terrible dubbing.

    Not sure if this has been used before but something that always makes me laugh in TMWTGG is at the karate school and Bond has to fight the dude with long hair. First, it's the guys strut as he stands up and gets in position and secondly, how Bond puts him down during the bow. Always makes me laugh.

    I actually laughed a bit in SP when Q said "I believe I said bring it back in one piece, not bring back one piece! His delivery was so awkward it kind of invoked laughing at that at least.

    Milton Krest saying "I don't like it, he can finger me." Something about that just gets a laugh out of me. He's angry, upset, nervous, but still a bit humorous.
