Just wondering, but what is everyone's funniest moment of the trilogy? Two that come to the top of my head are when Clemenza in getting drunk drinking the wine at Connie's wedding and the other one is in Part III when Vincent meets with Joey Zasa in Mike's office. Vincent starts shouting and Mike mumbles, "Well, he's got his father's anger" or something like that. -Pat
EDIT: I also laugh when Vito mocks Fontane and slaps him.

I like the flashback scene at the end of part II, when Fredo tries to congratulate Mike, and then Sonny breaks up the handshake. To me, there's a lot funny about that scene: Fredo's use of the word "swell", the look on his face and the way he clutches his wrist after. Actually, Fredo was ripping it up that whole scene. His "they didn't know it was pop's birthday" comment is priceless. And I like how after Mike says that he enlisted in the marines, everyone gets quiet for a second, then Fredo snaps a carrot or something in half, with a comical look of disbelief on his face.
I don't know why, but ever since I saw that scene, I've always wanted to break up a handshake the way Sonny does. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to do so.

I have to agree with EnzoBaker, that the Signor Roberto scene with Vito and Genco was entertaining. It was a complete role reversal with Roberto's added inability to open a door... Plus there was Genco's "He'll hide out in the Bronx" comment. Some other funny scenes would have to be Michael's "true story" he told Kay about Johnny Fontane's contract.. It was also amusing when Vito was messing around with Johnny in his office. Something oddly funny was also Luca Brasi's speach: I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your daughter's.. wedding... on the day of your daughter's wedding. And I hope that their first child be a masculine child....

Part III: In the meeting between Michael, Joe Zasa and Vincent, I always liked how Vincent angrily demanded the last word in his speech "It's a little foolish of this guy, don't you think? Right? RIGHT?" and Michael is visibly startled, almost jumping in his seat, as if nobody has ever raised their voice in his office before.
Part II: The metamorphosis of Pentangeli's ad-libbed Italian song into "Pop Goes The Weasel".
But I agree, the funniest moment in the whole trilogy is Vito Corleone mocking Johnny Fontane "What am I gonna do?". I think you can actually see Al Martino laughing as well as Robert Duvall (as ScarfaceRH pointed out).

I love the part where Woltz says to Tom Hagen, "I don't care how many dago guinea wop greaseball goombahs come out of the woodwork." Then Tom says, matter-of-factly, "I'm German-Irish," and without missing a beat, Woltz says, "Well, let me tell you something, my kraut mick friend..."
Woltz had a slur ready for everybody.

I like two scenes in particular:
1) In part II when Young Vito is driving the car and Fanucci jumps up out of nowhere and does his little "Eyyyyy" thing.
2) Part III, Michael asks Vincent "What are you doing with my daughter?" and Vincent has this big grin.

Just the irony of it all, how Mike used to be, and how Connie used to be, it seems as if the roles had reversed. I totally agree, its funny how they have changed as they have gotten older. More funny parts are when Vincent tells the guy to not make any sudden moves that he is just gonna show him a "little" something, then shoots the guy. When Vincent shoots Joey "JOEY (two shots) Za-Za (shot)" When Fredo walts into the room where he has a band and girls ready for Michael in Vegas.

In the whole Godfather there were a few funny moments. part 1 When clemenza is making pasta and he is trying to teach michael and then sonny is like cut the crap, but in the end he takes a piece of bread and dips it in the sause When Don Vito slaps Johhny and says you can act like man then mocks him by saying what can i do thats a classic when one of michaels bodygaurds in sicily said sicilian women are more dangerous than shotguns....something like that Part 2 When frankie is sleeping during the partty Part 3 Vincente whole meeting with joe zaza it was funny and michael telling johnny he is gooing to in kitchen to listen to some tony bennet records and when michael tells kay maybe they should fear you thats some of them

I love the bit with Pentangeli in the Court room.
The way he waves his arms nonchalantly as the chaos ensues is very funny. 'They kept saying Michael Corleone did this..and Michael Corleone did that so I said *waves arms*....SURE, why not?!'
I loved that actor Micaehl Gazzo, hes my second favourite performer in the whole trilogy after Al PAcino

Just for your reference Rudik, "maybe they should fear you" is to COnnie
and the other line is " IN Sicily, women are more dangerous than shotguns"
"Well you just do what I tell you to do! Goddamn it! If I had a wartime consiglieri -- a Sicilian -- I wouldn't be in this shape! Pop had Genco -- look what I got." - Sonny Corleone

The funniest scene in the entire trilogy, for me anyways, is the Signor Roberto/young Vito scene at Genco Olive Oil, where Roberto comes to apologize. I laugh every single time I see that scene. I like that one too! "Da rent. Stays. Like-a before."
