Another 5 funny movie scenes to release growth hormone

For the last 3 days I have been diligently recalling funny movie scenes in an attempt to determine what causes me to “require” 8 hours of sleep on some nights and what causes me to wake up refreshed after 7 hours of sleep on other nights.  I have been doing this “recall technique” since May, but recently I wasn’t doing it regularly until this week; it takes effort to recall funny scenes, but it is worth the effort; in order to make it a little bit easier I either keep recalling the same scene or I recall several scenes from the same movie.

This week, I have been recalling funny movie scenes while driving in my car and for awhile before going to bed.  I notice a lightening of mood and I almost laugh out loud at times.  And so far it seems like it could be responsible for allowing me to wake up refreshed after 7 hours of sleep.  It seems to have worked for the last 3 nights so I am going to continue this experiment.

I first wrote about laughter releasing growth hormone on May 26, 2008 and about 5 funny movie scenes on May 30, 2008.  Here are 5 more funny movie scenes:

1. A Fish Called Wanda.  John Cleese’s character can’t get Ken to say “Cathcart Towers Hotel”.  A 2.5-minute YouTube video of the scene.
2. Tropic Thunder.  Ben Stiller’s character wears a most unusual hat about half-way through the movie.
3. Tropic Thunder.  Tom Cruise’s character gives a tongue lashing to the guy who called from Ben Stiller’s cell phone. (And Tom’s dancing is hilarious.)
4. Tropic Thunder.  Jack Black’s character is willing to do anything to be untied from a tree.
5. Austin Powers.  Austin Powers and Mini Me in a scene where they supply a urine sample.  A 4-minute YouTube video of the scene.

If you have time, describe one of your favorite funny movie scenes in a comment.  And anyone else have any noticeable success with recalling funny movie scenes?

Thursday’s exercise:  On Thursday morning I warmed up by jogging for a few minutes and then did an 8-sprint workout by running 20-second sprints with rest intervals of 100 seconds.  The entire exercise session took 19 minutes.
