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?

Its been a while, I might misremember the scene. Definitely between the two, and they have a heartfelt sad conversation. The movie was in English, just Thai subtitles, so I am sure I got the context right. Was a long time ago though.

There's a love triangle in the series. In the first film the Gale (boy who doesn't go to the games) and Katniss never discuss it, and Katniss and Peeta (boy in the games) put it on as an act to get people to support them in the games, though for Peeta it isn't really an act.

It's discussed openly in the sequels - usually with either Gale pining for Katniss and her saying she can't deal with relationship stuff with everything going on, or Peeta feeling hurt that Katniss turns it on for the cameras, but doesn't really love him.

While there aren't any overt break-up scenes in the later films, there's some break-up adjacent stuff in them. Maybe it was Catching Fire or Mockingjay part I?
