For me it’s easily the gun store scene in The Terminator where he is picking out an arsenal for his mission.

“The 12-gauge auto-loader.”

“That’s Italian. You can go pump or auto.”

“The .45 Long Slide, with laser sighting.”

“These are brand new, we just got ’em in... you put the red dot where you want the bullet to go. You can’t miss! Anything else?”

“Phased plasma rifle with the 40-watt range.”

“Hey, just what you see, pal!”

“The Uzi 9mm.”

The escalation is what kills me. Starts off as a normal gun shop conversation then suddenly the Terminator is asking for space weapons like it’s the most normal thing in the world and the clerk doesn’t even ask questions or sound confused. Almost like he knows what they are and had just sold out of them. Then the terminator just moves right along to add the uzi to his cart. Bonus points because 40 watts is hilariously weak for a futuristic energy weapon. 40 watt incandescent light bulb is really dim, like that’s how low energy it is.

Funniest scene ever from a non-comedy for me.

What are some other moments like this? I want to watch anything that hits like this from a non comedy movie.
