Funniest bit of the film?

Wonder what would happen if they showed it again in theaters ala "Rocky Horror".
Oh. My. God. You're on to something big right there.
People could come dressed up as Mona Lisa Vito, or in Vinny's used-clothing-store burgundy tux with tails. Or his leather jacket (not made out of "some kind of
cloth
"). Or the mud-covered sweats.
Train whistles, owl noises, steam whistles during all the night-waking scenes.
Grits. Oh yes, grits. ("Breakfast?" "Ya think?")
Simultaneous hollers of "TWO YOUTS" from the audience!
"The fact that I have grown bored by your insanity is proof of nothing." -

Mona Lisa Vito (Marissa Tomei)
Imagine you're a deer. Prancing around in the woods and you put your little deer lips to the water to get a drink when all of a sudden BLAM! You get shot in the beep head! Your brains are scattered all along side ya! Now ask yourself, do you really think you would take the time to notice what kind of pants the beep son of a bitch who shot you was wearing! -

One scene that gets me is when they are at the cabin. The owl starts hooting and Vinny loads the revolver and goes outside in his leather jacket and starts blasting away. When he goes back inside the owl starts hooting again. Extremely funny.

I gotta say the public defender's opening statements. To me, that took the comedy over the top and showed that not only are the Pesci and Tomei characters funny, but so is the entire movie. It shifted the comedic focus from the two main characters making it very unexpected, which helps a lot given how riduculous that scene is.

Another top scene that nobody's mentioned - after Vinnie's suit gets covered with mud and he enters the courtroom (late) wearing that awful burgundy tuxedo type monstrosity, and then attempts to convince the judge that he's dressed like this in an attempt to please him. "Mr Gambini, are you on drugs?", "No, I dont use drugs"

It probably is not the funniest bit in the film but it is memorable because it produces one of the funniest, if not THE single funniest line in probably all
of movie and film-dom, delivered by probably the best character ever portrayed in any movie; yep, you got it: Mona Lisa Vito.
The scene is where Vinny arrives back at the hotel with the box of evidenciary
material that, he is proud to say to Mona Lisa, he "coaxed" from the DA after the two "bonded" during their hunting session. Ms. Vito, after just a short "quick" read of Vinnie's borrowed book of Alabama court rules, points out
to a dumbstruck Vinny that, by law, he was entitled to all of the evidence, etc. etc., dis-neccessitating Vinny's "bonding", etc. etc. with the DA.
The line:
"IT'S CALLED DISCLOSHA, YA DICKHEAD!!"
