Funny movie lines for no reason

Some movies are just funny. Funny in a way that even those who don't find it amusing know it's going for the funny bone (and no, not funny like a clown.)

I was watching The Good Girl last night (LOVE it...my kind of "slice of life/human beings with faults and all" movie.)

In the part where Justine tells her husband "Gwen died today" he replies "What? What for?"

I don't know why, but the "what for" still has me chuckling.

Any examples that make you laugh?

I am compelled to say them all the time. But not on command.

Master Shake is my hero.

Chet (Weird Science): D'you spit in this?

Doc Holiday (Tombstone): "Ah'm your huckleberry."

Dazed and Confused: "Well, why'd you say that, chief?"

Demented and sad, but social.
The boss was giving shift report. I don't even remember what he was talking about, but the story required a hand gesture ... He cupped his hands together, and moved them away from his body in kind of an exaggerated bouncing motion.

I immediately said, "Put Edwina back in bowl" in a very faux-Indian (ohm Indian, not woo-woo Indian) accent.

The boss' response? "That's exactly what I was trying to say."

Somehow, it was in context. Can't for the life of me remember how. I'm pretty sure that noone's soul was displaced. Or maybe that was what the patient thought was going on ... or. I dunno. But it was really darn funny.

@ flint:

I guess I was referring to lines that aren't particularly funny in and of themselves, or even that they have to be in context. For example, if I were at the local grocery, and someone said "Ruthie Puthie died" and someone else said "What for?" I would find that really funny.

If someone else said "Why did Ruthie Puthie cross the road" and someone else replied "To get to the chicken" I would not find that funny but I would know that the person saying it thought it was hilarious.

Hell, maybe I am drunk right now!

What wolf said.

My husband and I often say "See what happens, Larry?" to each other when we do something stupid.

Or "Bring my my crown!" (from the Attila made for TV movie)

Not a movie line, but "What did you learn?" by Stewie Griffin kills me.
"Very flattering in the, uh, crotchal region"
"Wash this"
"Excuse me, bearfucker, do you need assistance?"
"Chickenfucker!! Bwaaak!!"
