We wanted to do an EW.com gallery of the Best Natural Gas scenes in honor of National Chili Day, but someone thought better of it. So, we’re celebrating here on PopWatch, where we defend ourselves with the words of Roger Ebert (defending his thumb’s up review of Bachelor Party to Gene Siskel): "I laughed out loud several times during this movie, and you cannot fake laughter. If it’s not funny, you don’t laugh. If it is funny, you do laugh. I laughed."
The recognized champion of such scenes, Blazing Saddles:
Which movie boasts your personal favorite? (I don’t see how it gets better than the layered South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.)
I love this movie. I can remember my mother being nervous about me seeing for the first time when I was a little kid because she thought it was too risque. And I can remember this scene being so controversial at the time that they muted the sound when they aired it on tv. Didn’t take out any of the racial slurs though–gotta love the strange tv ethics of the late 70s.
The ‘Blazing Saddles’ scene is a classic, but I was impressed by the nuanced rhythmic musical accompaniment in ‘South Park’ as well. If laughing at farts is childish, I guess I’ll never grow up.
I totally thought of Blazing Saddles when I read the “natural gas” phrase. My mom laughs herself into an asthma attack every time she watches this scene.
