American Pie: The 10 Funniest Moments, Ranked

American Pie is one of the funniest movies of all time, with this coming of age film helping to take an entire genre of comedy to a whole new level. Even many of the following sequels were equally as funny, with many jokes becoming incredibly memorable.

Whether it is practical jokes or some of the witty lines that they come out with throughout there are plenty of different ways that American Pie can get people laughing. However, as with any comedy movies, some moments are funnier than others, and within this list, we will be breaking down the 10 funniest moments from American Pie’s history.

10 Pale Ale

We kickstart this list with a hilarious moment from one of Stiffler’s insane house party’s. Despite being the guy all the girls want to hook up with and being the one who hosts the party, this moment goes so badly wrong for him after he takes the drink of what he thinks is a beer.

However, what he doesn’t know is the contents of that beer… let’s just say you don’t want to be drinking it when you find out what’s in it. Stiffler quickly works out what has happened and it leads him to throw up everywhere while the rest of the group simply mock him for what has happened.

9 “This One Time, At Band Camp…”

This isn’t one specific moment but is a running gag throughout the entire franchise with Michelle busting out this particular saying before completing it with something utterly ridiculous. Spoiler: He usually ends it with something sexually charged. When you hear the phrase, you know something hilarious is going to follow it.

It begins by seeming like an innocent thing, and you instantly think that whatever Michelle says will be lame. However, right off the bat she blows everyone’s expectations away and shows her dirty mind and wild imagination, which instantly makes this one of the funniest running jokes in the movies.

8 A Sticky Situation

Another of the funniest moments in American Pie history involves Jim, a tube of superglue, and a VHS porn movie. Jim believing he has a tube of lubricant is set to enjoy himself in his room… only for him to realize that he actually used superglue by mistake.

The entire situation is a total mess for him as he ends up struggling with the phone and the door handle. Jim eventually ends up in police custody where his own father has to come and help, creating another awkward situation that makes it even funnier. The post-hospital treatment nappy that Jim ends up wearing is simply the icing on the cake.

7 “MILF!”

The term ‘MILF’ is something that is well-known nowadays, and a big reason for that is this scene in American Pie, which arguably popularized the term. The fact that the characters are known as “MILF Guy 1” and “MILF Guy 2” shows how much they contributed to the movie, but this scene is golden.

Simply staring at an image of Stiffler’s mom, who is quite the talking point throughout, the duo simply chants “MILF,” at the image. They become engrossed in doing so and the fact that they repeat it so many times is what ends up making it so funny.

6 Jim Performs

Another incredible moment from Jim takes place in American Pie 2 as he ends up on stage at a concert in band camp, with a trombone. Jim rocks up hoping to find Michelle to ask for some advice, yet he gets mistaken for a boy called Petey and ends up on stage.

With an entire audience watching, there is very little for Jim to do but roll with it and start playing the instrument. Of course, he doesn’t have a clue how to do that, which leads to a hilarious moment where he goes wild with it in front of the stage as the audience looks absolutely puzzled.

5 Bedroom Interruptions

This particular moment takes place in American Pie: Reunion right at the start of the film, kicking off the movie with a bang. Reminding people just how funny the franchise is, Jim (now an adult), is in the bedroom attempting to watch some porn, only to be interrupted by his own son.

After slamming his laptop shut and trapping an area you do not want to trap, Jim bursts into the bathroom. However, in the bath is his wife, Michelle, who is enjoying some alone time with her shower head. With both adults embarrassed and their child stunned, it provided an insanely funny moment to bring people back to the franchise.

4 A Golden Shower

Another great moment from a Stiffler party also involves the host coming off on the wrong end of the situation. After hooking up with a girl, it seems like things are going to go perfectly well for him as he lays back and expects to have champagne poured all over him.

However, it isn’t champagne. It’s actually urine.

After the girl is accidentally knocked out, she doesn’t get the drink and in the end, someone is taking a leak from above him on the balcony due to the toilet being busy. Stiffler is happy to have it all poured on him though as he rubs it into himself, believing it’s something totally different and more pleasent.

3 Walkie Talkie

Next on the list is the incredible walkie talkie scene from American Pie 2, when the group head away for the summer and end up working a job fixing up a house. After the ladies leave, Stiffler decides to head inside and he ends up finding a sex toy and becomes convinced they are lesbians.

The ladies then end up returning to their house and catch the guys inside their bedroom. This leads to a hilarious game of oneupmanship as the ladies push the guys to do things to each other in order to do anything themselves. But what makes this truly great is the fact it is all on walkie talkie, which is broadcast to tons of people in the local area.

2 Warm Apple Pie

The idea of having sex with an apple pie might seem utterly ridiculous, but that is exactly why it is beyond hilarious when that actually happens during the movie. Seeing the warm apple pie on the kitchen counter after having a conversation about what the insides can be compared to, Jim decides to experiment.

While at first, he keeps it to just a finger going inside, he soon goes all out and has sex with the pudding. Things get worse for him when his own father walks in and catches him in the act, creating an absolutely insane moment of comedy that is played perfectly by Eugene Levy.

1 Webcam Exploits

The funniest moment in the history of American Pie is undoubtedly Jim’s webcam show from hell. When Nadia reveals she is heading round to his house, Jim thinks he has scored his lucky day and decides to setup a webcam stream just for his friends. However, it gets broadcasted to everyone in school.

What happens next is not what he had planned, having to do a strip dance, which everyone sees. Somehow, things end up getting worse not just once but twice for Jim, ruining his reputation and creating a hilarious scene. Those who saw the movie know what we’re talking about. Newcomers will have to see it for themselves!
