Movie lines people laughed at in theaters despite not actually being intended to be funny? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I remember in Revenge of the Sith, when the actor playing Vader yells "nooooooooo", at what is supposed to be the emotional climax of the trilogy, the theater roared in laughter.

Do you have other examples?

You don't often hear people laugh out loud in a Finnish movie theater, so I remember the one time there was a sudden spontaneous burst. It was one of the Underworld movies where Bill Nighys character gets his head cut in half or something. I guess the visual was just so ludicrous and kind of mismatch to the tone that several people lost it at once.
