10 of the Funniest and Most Raunchy Movie and TV Scenes Ever

Raunchy humor is among the best kinds of humor. Some of the most cringe-worthy, disgusting, and downright filthy scenes in movies and TV are also the ones that make us laugh until we can’t breathe.

Cracked.com recently rounded up some of the funniest raunchy scenes of all time, and the list is basically a highlight reel of moments you can’t believe actually made it past studio executives. Here are the best of the best:

1. There’s Something About Mary – The infamous “hair gel” scene. You know it. You can’t unsee it.
2. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me – Mike Myers takes slapstick to a new level when Austin drinks something he definitely shouldn’t.
3. Animal House – John Belushi’s “I’m a zit, get it?” gag remains gross-out comedy royalty.
4. Dumb & Dumber – Jeff Daniels’ explosive bathroom disaster. Fun fact: Daniels says Clint Eastwood once told him that exact thing happened to him on a date. Yes, THAT Clint Eastwood.
5. Bridesmaids – Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph’s dress-shopping meltdown that ends in full-on public restroom chaos.
6. Crazy, Stupid, Love – A wildly uncomfortable moment where a 17-year-old gifts nude photos to a 13-year-old who’s crushing on her. The laughs here come from how horrified Steve Carell’s character is when he finds out.
7. Ghostbusters – Dan Aykroyd gets… a supernatural favor of the oral variety. This one confused a lot of kids in the ‘80s.
8. Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls – Jim Carrey being “reborn” from the back end of a rhino is still one of the most talked-about physical comedy moments ever.
9. Zack and Miri Make a Porno – Kevin Smith goes full raunch, with a cameraman suffering the world’s worst job hazard during a “backdoor” scene.
10. American Pie – One time, at band camp… do we even need to finish the sentence?

Raunchy comedy isn’t just about shock value, though. These scenes became legendary because they balance gross-out gags with clever timing and characters we actually care about. It’s the same formula that’s kept comedies like Superbad, The Hangover, and South Park alive in the cultural conversation for years.

And if you’re clutching your pearls reading this list, remember: you laughed too.
