I would like to see a top 10 jokes from "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World " movie thread. Any takers? How about when Ethel Merman gets in Terry-Thomas' Willys Jeep and sits on the cactus and asks "Where should I put This?"Milton Berle mumbles under his breath "oh boy..."

The scene where Jonathan Winters destroys the service station is one of the funniest scenes from any movie, IMO.

One of my desert island discs!
I love the reference near the beginning where, I think, Mickey Rooney refers to Ethel Merman as an old bag (where they’re arguing about the financial split) and Jonathan Winters says something like “we all agree about that..”

Criterion Collection has a great Blu-ray of it.
