Well it's not really a "funny" movie, so to speak, but there are moments of hilarityCaan's facial expressions in reaction to Annie at various times are super funny. Even Annie is funny at times. So, I guess, yes, some parts are funny to me.
"Why couldn't the monkey arrange this from INSIDE the garbage can?"

Well, it had funny aspects and "bits" embedded within all the suspense and horror. One line got a laugh from me - but not from anyone else in the theater - when Paul tries to express theutterstrangeness of his new living conditions, in words to the effect: "Well, ya know, Annie, some people would look on this as kind of an oddball situation".
"
Oddball situation??!!
"
God, what a master of understatement!

There are definitely some funny moments, like her shouting at the guy who pulls out in his car.

I've found that's how Stephen King writes. Sometimes funny, other times just very, very clever. What you read or watch can be creepy as hell and he yanks out something really funny.

Yes. While it used to be an intense movie to watch (some scenes still are), now it is funny.
Obviously Paul's situation is nothing to laugh at, but, Annie's outrageous outbursts, Paul's "what the beep is this sh-t?" looks throughout the entire movie, Paul beating the deranged Annie it all just makes me feel as if I'm watching a dark comedy.
Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!

yes i like paul's expressions as well. especially when he tells her "who doesnt let off a little steam every once in a while" and when she says "hi punkin!" and he flips her off that needs to be a gif. also paul's subtle shade at her meatloaf was pretty tongue in cheek. annie saying she adds spam to it and then he says "you cant get this in NY" some how i dont think he meant that in a nice way

Someone being kidnapped and tortured isn't what's funny, it's the actors and their performances that are funny. I for one cannot look at Kathy Bates saying, "HE DOESN'T GET OUT OF THE COCKADOODIE CAR!!" and not laugh.

Wow I can't believe how many people agree this movie was "funny".
Guess you guys all had nice mothers.

"And the number one reference that I am running into the ground is: Homer Simpson!"

Black comedy is right. It's because of Annie's craziness that you have to laugh. One of the funniest (to me) is the pig named Misery.

It's a mixture of humor and terror. I wouldn't call it comedic though. I think the humor was intended to enhance Annie's frightening aspects. Sometimes she'd say things that were truly maniacal and we can't help but identify with Paul's "You've got to be kidding" attitude.
Spotted dick, sir?

Hysterical! I laugh and laugh at the delivery of Annie's angry rants. Black comedy is a fantastic thing, that is a bit tricky to do correctly. Misery is a perfect example of black comedy mixed with horror and psychology.

Totally agree. It's a psychological thriller laced with comedy. Annie's obsessive behavior and mood swings are comedy goldshe's just so deliciously over the top and keeps you bewildered with 'omg, for a moment she seemed like a normal person, but this bitch is CRAZYand it makes you laugh at yourself at how you keep getting yanked but eh twists and turns. It's funny in the same way Carrie was funnyPiper Laurie was genius as Carrie's lunatic mother.

Please don't feed the trolls.

Everyone needs to believe in something. I believe I will have another beer!

IT'S FUNNY TO ME ALSO

yeah and a good one.

It's a black comedy all the way.
Originality needs a reboot.

well yes there are clearly strong humorous elements in the movie but then other king films such as Dolores Claiborne even has some very dark humour even through the darkest moments, I dunno if its bates or the writing in both cases but there is humour.
