Most unintentionally hilarious moment?

The Borgified Corpse

What moment is supposed to be deathly serious but just turns out to be really funny?

For me, I nominate the scene from the end of Munich, where a flashback of the Israeli athletes being murdered is juxtaposed with slow-motion footage of Eric Bana vigorously humping his wife (complete with sweat flying off his undulating hair)!

Honey? When we were making love, were you thinking of me?
 
In Der Untergang the horror of the scene where the Goebbels children are fed the poison pills is kinda ruined by the kids' acting a death scene the way a six-year-olds playact death. Hand to the throat and croak. :rolleyes: It's a pity, the film is serious and the scene is important, but I end up snickering.

Also, in TMP, the transporter accident. When Kirk and Scott turn to look at each other it just looks so synchronized. The stilted acting makes the otherwise serious scene momentarily funny.
 
I can't think of anything spontaneously, but my vote for the most unintenionally unhilarious moment in movie history for me is a coin flip between the dwarf-throwing and Legolas-surfing scenes in Lord of the Rings.
 
In The Andromeda Strain movie, the scientists go to a ton that's been killed by the virus.
One scientist turns over a corpse and pulls down its pants (to show that the blood didn't clot on the lower part sof the body) and tells the other "Look his buttocks"..the other scientist says " That's not funny," as though the first scientist just wanted to show him some old dead guy's ass!

Found it! Starting at 7:43 :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqOwqXafjcg

Picard's "And I will make them pay" speech in FC seems kinda ridiculous to me on repeat viewings.

Gone With the Wind seems to turn into a comedy in it's last 45 minutes, but maybe that's just me. :lol:

You know, I always thought they did play that for some comedic effect in the film on purpose.
 
The scene in The Village where "the monsters" showed up...everyone else in the theater was treating it like a horror movie, but me and my two friends were busting up laughing and basically MST3K'ing the movie right there in the theater.
 
Pretty much all of 2006's The Wicker Man. Also, anything else Nicholas Cage has been in recently (Next, Knowing), with the possible exception of any comedies (since they would not be unintentional, in theory).
