Usually, when a character dies in a movie, it's an emotionally weighty event. If it's a hero that the audience has grown to care about, their death will likely be a poignant moment that might even lead some to shed a few tears. If it's a villain that dies, viewers will likely have a satisfied smile on their faces. In certain movies, however—comedies or otherwise— some character deaths are irresistibly amusing.
✕ Remove Ads In Bruges is one of the funniest dark comedies ever made, and that's in no small measure thanks to its hilariously terrifying and merciless antagonist. At his core, though, Harry is a man of principles, so when he accidentally shoots a man with dwarfism who he mistakes for a little boy , he must take his own life. It's a shocking finale but also one full of the pitch-black irony that makes McDonagh's films so clever and hilarious.

Instead, Ken keeps accidentally killing Eileen's three small dogs in all sorts of cartoonish ways. Finally, she dies from a heart attack, and he's able to celebrate his victory. It's a surprisingly smart, endlessly hilarious set piece with a hysterical performance by Michael Palin.
✕ Remove Ads One of the best spy comedy movies of all time, International Man of Mystery is packed with the kind of silly yet subtly clever humor that characterizes Myers's style. Crass language, goofy dialogue, and absurdist slapstick make up the comedic DNA of Austin Powers, as can be seen in one of the film's most hysterical scenes. A guard stands in horror as Austin warns him to get out of the way, approaching him on a steamroller very... very... very slowly.
