10 Funniest Deaths In Comedy Movies

10. Dr. Strangelove - Riding The Nuke

We'll start this off with a classic.

Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove is one of the most outrageous comedies of all time. Even after over half a century it's still stood at the top of the satire game and the image of a guy riding a nuclear bomb and waving his cowboy hat as he falls is proof enough as to why.

This single shot punctuates the insanity fest that is Kubrick's masterpiece. He wants us to know just how ludicrous the back-and-forth doomsday politics of The Cold War are, and does so by, well, having a man ride the most dangerous man-made invention at the time like he's at a rodeo as it plummets to the earth.

When it comes to satire, the point of it is to exaggerate a subject in order to highlight the inherent absurdity of it, and with this iconic moment Kubrick does just that with side-splitting results.

Who knew someone could look so happy as they plunge to their death?
