Then there are those cameras broadcasting the action for Bond's viewing pleasure: he can watch the bad guys' car being dropped into Tokyo Bay thanks to - what? - a live chopper cam used by Tiger Tanaka? Then there's the "you can watch it all on TV" Blofeld orbital camera to better see the SPECTRE spaceship self-destruct - a laugh in itself; gotta love those convenient destruct switches.
From Russia With Love - When Klebb gets shot by Romanova. It almost appears she's had a very long day (cleaning every address in Venice, for example) and slowly falls to the ground (just appears tired than dying ?) (even appears to yawn ?) Yes, it's actually amusing when you watch it
Goldfinger - GF (Frobe) appears to have a tantrum and gets a bit animated during the Fort Knox assault demonstration. NO NO NO ! (mild hysterics), "It's just a bank, better protected perhaps - but still a bank" etc
Thunderball - The rear projection as the Disco Volante nears the rocks
You Only Live Twice - Connerys disdain at some of the Japanese 'wives' he gets to pick from, before finally going with Kissy Suzuki. Also - when Blofeld shoots Mr Osato - and the reaction of the cat
Diamonds are Forever - When Bond and Tiffany are on the airplane, and Wint and Kidd are on the same flight, the camera suddenly zooms in on Kidd at close range. Always some value of humor in that
The Man With The Golden Gun - Nick Nack hits one of the sumo wrestlers with some kind of weapon (a spear, or pitchfork ?), as if to suggest "stop messing around"
For Your Eyes Only - When Bond gets discovered in Spain and Hector Gonzalez says "License to kill - or be killed. Take him away...." Just the manner it was spoken actually does generate some amusement
A View to a Kill - could feasibly be here all night on this one release alone - but as a first pick, could well be when Zorin's airship creeps up on Sutton and she doesn't realize it's zooming in on her from above
The Living Daylights - Milovy's reaction when Dalton 'reminds' her there's a great mountain coming up and they're only a few seconds away from oblivion
License to Kill - When Bond wakes up at the Sanchez mansion and sees a great fish face sculpture. For such a violent (for Bond) release, it was good, there was some (unintentional) bits of humor to be had
The World Is Not Enough - when Renard makes his appearance (The Devil's breath ?) and before he asks Davidov to hold the hot rock and the shooting of Arkov, this little piece of dramatic music or sound effect occurs. Sounds ridiculous when you hear it
Die Another Day - when Bond is snooping outside the Ice Palace, a guard spots him, and says something in an unrecognized voice or language. Have to watch the bit in question, but just sounds amusing
Casino Royale - When Bond shoots Dryden, and he appears to shoot back in his seat, as if being hit by a cannonball
Skyfall - Silva's interrogation of Bond and all the 'rat talk'. The fight with Patrice also in Shanghai and the animated jellyfish in silhouette in the background. You couldn't help but laugh
"Ten secunds - und counting!" from DAF.
Moore's massacre of his chat-up in LALD: "I'm in no hurry..." sleaziest raised eyebrow ever. "Are you?"
"Paint. Gold paint" in GF, said in same tone as "Bond. James Bond."
The way Connery says in the most nonchalant way, "because I'm hungry" to Honey once theyve been escorted to their room on Dr.No's premises.
Dalton switching on Saunders' NV goggles as Saunders struggles with it.
Brosnan knocking on the door of the South African's hotel room, presenting the guy with a wheelchair and then knocking him out.
Daniel Craig clearly frustrated, throwing his out of bullets ppk on to the floor of the train during the PTS of SF.
Goldfinger's dismissive attitude towards Bond as Bond compliments GF on his car after their golf match.
Goddamit!! You think you're in some banana republic? All that scumbag money won't do you a bit of good here
why you!! (lunges at Sanchez), we've got a nice private cell waiting for your ass at Quanico...and I'm gonna personally see you get there
Lastly...
Woaw...woaw
Even his reaction when he sees the eaten piece of meat raising out of the water is OTT
"Pathetic".
Also there's the overacting henchman who Bond throws the scalpels at in the DAF pre credit sequence :)) :))
When Bond is being strangled by Mr Kil :))
First we get some terrible dubbing while a fake Connery interrogates a Japanese man, then there's the "hit me" bit, where one punch sends him flying across the room onto the roulette table.
The next bit with the girl in the bikini is quite cool, then we get to Blofelds lair. Bond takes off his disguise for no apparent reason but it's fine, because Bond takes out one henchmen with a mousetrap then throws scalpels into the other, who stands there overacting.
Then he throws Blofeld onto the table and bonks him on the head with the light scanner thingy. It doesn't even look like it hurts but it manages to not only take him out, but crack his head open. Then Bond decides the most logical way of killing him would be attaching him to the table and sending him into the mud bath (despite still having his gun).
Pure crap.
But then, this happened...

Go to 2:20 and watch for about 10 seconds.
Done?
Good.
Now, thanks to that, I can't watch that scene without half pissing myself in laughter, reminded of Calvin's imitation, while my family watch on with no clue as to what provoked the laughter.
-The cheesey dialogue/Casablanca-esque music when Bond and Paris first meet in TND.
-Holly Goodhead's overly dramatic gasp when Bond (vocally) grabs her hand in the darkened hotel room.
-Jaws overacting when he realises his cablecar is about to crash in MR.
-The bad back projection during the car chase in Dr No
-The bad back projection in the speedboat scene from LTK
Bloody hell there's a lot of bad stuff in this series.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed Craig's walk in that first shot (and I love SF). Its like Robert Patrick in Terminator 2.
But it didn't make me laugh
I know it's not actually funny and there's no need to laugh it's just become of those things, everytime I see it, I just can't help it.
Fun fact! Peter Maivia the actor who played that henchmen was Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's grandfather! :)

This part is clearly meant to be funny. Off-topic.
Some of my biggest laughs...
1) Goldfinger. When Bond wining and dining fine wine with M and Colonel Smithers. The scene ends, fades out... and M just sit there nodding and smiling during the fade, waiting for director to yell CUT, because the scene is over but he need to continue doing stuff for the fade
2). Thunderball. Bond and his friends enter Pinder's hut. Everyone is minding their own business in silence. Then radio comes on. And Bond yell QUIET SHHHHH at them! How rude...
3) Thunderball again you guessed it. When Largo has Daminu tied up. And says "You have given me. Much pleasure Daminu" I call my cat Daminu for this reason IRL...
4) Thunderball again you name it. When the black man stops Fiona's car. He face glisten with sweat and moisture and booze. He comes from Junakoo, betting and boozing off course. His face just so wet. "Have a sip... can harm you man..." No wonder Bond kick him ultimately!!
More for now guys. Loving the thread.
Wonderful trivia, thanks! I guess I should say that one moment isn't really something I laugh at. It's pleasantly amusing to see his reaction, and not something I expect in a fight scene: "Wow! I'm gonna enjoy using this thing!"
This fight scene always makes me laugh. Connery seems to have forgotten to turn up leaving the entire fight to be handled by Bob Simmons.
The overacting soldier who's on fire when the missles blow up =))
3.33
"Phone call from Washington...urgent!"
"I'll catch it in the john"
Nice to see they are taking this threat to the world seriously ;)
"Fetch my shoes!"
Well wouldn't you be like that if your on fire?
Oh right maybe he didn't know (the guy he was playing in the film) or he was just a bad actor.
He was a bad actor. Pretty obvious.
