I know some people who consider Stanley Kramer's 1963 comedy It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World to be the greatest motion picture ever made. I think they're nuts, though it's a very entertaining film. I will concede though, that the scenes collected in the following clip (featuring the tragically underrated Dick Shawn) are some of the funniest bits I've ever seen. The counterpoint between the deadpan girl dancer and Shawn's frenetic hipster goofball, Sylvester, cracks me up every time. Ethel Merman is pretty good too, though she has better scenes in the movie not represented here. Check it out:
