Most unintentionally hilarious moment?

Hmmm, how could I have forgotten Vreenak?

^ rofls me every time. :lol:
 
Travis Mayweather's nonexistent role in the majority of Enterprise episodes. Even though he was in every episode, it was funny to see how insignificant to the plot he was. I think in one episode someone gave him an order over the intercom, and he had a one word voice-only response and that was it!

In the Ferengi episode, he was unconscious at his station, the Ferengi picked him up and threw him aside, and that was his entire role. Rather symbolic too. :)

yeah but just think - he's getting paid to imitate a log - nice job if you can get it.
 
Evil Captain Kirk in "The Enemy Within." "I'm Captain Kirk. I'M CAPTAIN KIRK!!!!!"

Or, in TTT, when the Orcs argue over whether or not they should eat Merry and Pippin, one of the Uruks says "Saruman wants them unspoiled", the orc says "why, do they give good sport", and the hobbits look at them with a "I think I'd rather be eaten, then" expression. That was funny.

"What about their legs? They don't need those."

One of the funniest things I've ever seen, although it was probably intended to be funny I've always had this sneaking suspicion that it happened by accident, was a scene in the Sandra Bullock movie "While You Were Sleeping." There's a simple establishing shot at one point in the film, you know, where they cut from one event to the "next morning" or whatever, and have the shot of the neighbourhood just to show you they've changed location? Anyway, it's an establishing shot of the neighbourhood, and there's this kid on his bike delivering newspapers, riding down the sidewalk and chucking the papers at the houses. He does it once or twice, and then on the last throw right before we cut, they kid totally wipes out!!! :guffaw: And pretty severely, too!

It was just so damn funny, and probably not intended to be the highlight of the film.

This reminds me of one of the most awkward cutaways in movie history. It's in the 1989 film Slipstream, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie starring Bill Paxton, Mark Hamill, Bob Peck, Robbie Coltraine, Ben Kingsley, & F. Murray Abraham. In the scene I'm thinking of, Bill Paxton is making out with this random, slutty woman. Then, it suddenly cuts away to a shot of a stuffed gazelle.:wtf:

In fact, that movie is full of weirdness. The somewhat North by Northwest-ish shots of Bob Peck being chased by Mark Hamill's airplane are a pretty weird way to start a movie. I've seen this movie pop up a couple of times in various dollar bins. The trailer is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX6r9zXVOk8
 
During the movie The Day After Tomorrow a giant tidal wave hits New York City. Tidal waves do most of their damage when the water recedes back into the ocean, in Day After Tomorrow the wave pours into NYC and just stops, maybe it wanted to take in a show or something.

Maybe the film makers were like veryone else and thought most of the damage was when the wave actually hit.

I can understand it making a big dent in the death toll with people dragged out to sea but in terms of stuctural damage alwasy thought that was when the wave struck.
 
Watchmen, in the prison riot, when a prisoner has his pants set on fire and then takes a while to respond. You know, normally pants-arson is noticed.
