8. Brad Gets Caught Servicing Himself - Fast Times At Ridgemont High
One of the all-time most hilarious and embarrassing scenes in teen movie history is as Brad Hamilton (Judge Reinhold) notices super-hot high school senior Linda (Phoebe Cates) swimming in his back yard, and decides he can no longer contain himself, and needs to relieve some stress. He fantasises about Linda coming over to him and confessing her feelings for him, while she strips off (which is sadly cut from the above video), but this is all cut short for Brad when Linda emerges from the pool to clean water out of her ear, walks into the bathroom and, you got it, catches Brad in the act, jerkin' it. Her awkwardly disgusted expression only cements the hilarity, as Brad scrambles to cover his modesty after it's far too late. Linda walks off, confused, while Brad quips, "Doesn't anybody f***ing knock anymore?", a question the audience is left to ponder in their own minds.
