Steve Martin in the jailcell...


trying to remember Michael Caines name is easily one of the funniest scenes in the history of film. I died laughing in the movie theater 16 years ago and I still die laughing seeing it now.

Anyone else love that scene?

If you've actually ever been in jail, trying to remember somebody's name, you probably wouldn't find any humor in this scene. I've been in the exact same situation and didn't laugh...at all. Maybe a little, but not out loud.

Really? I would think that it would be even funnier to you, because you can empathize.

Usually we can look back at things and see the humor in them, even if it was frustrating at the time.

But most of us haven't been in jail, so can appreciate it for the truly hilarious scene it is.
