• Family Guy - In a deleted scene, Evil Stewie is shown entering the bully's house and giving him a noogie. It seems rather harmless until Stewie mentions "Why's his knuckle turning red?" Then screams of the bully are heard, implying that Evil Stewie noogied his head so hard it punched a hole through the bully's head.

• Old (2021) - In a deleted cold opening, a man is shown crawling and shouting for help in the aging island. What makes this more terrifying is that this person could originally have been a baby or child, it's implied since he's walking on all fours

When this movie came out and I was sitting in theaters. When this moment happened I laughed.

Hard.

I don't know why. There maybe is a bit of absurdity to it that triggered the laugh, but I definitely got some side eye lol

Probably because the acting was bad, the direction was bad and the writing was bad, making what was supposed to be a tragic moment merely farcical.

Imagine being Ewan McGregor and having to say the line “I have seen a security hologram of him… killing younglings” with a straight face.

I remember reading someone say that him covering his mouth while saying that is because he was trying not to laugh at it
