    I've seen this movie several times and I don't recall finding the car accident scene funny at all. At that point in the plot, that was a tragic and stunning event. Was it funny because the scene was done poorly? I don't think it was intentional, this movie was obviously not a comedy.
    my thoughts tend to come out in little spurts that don't necessarily connect.
    If you hang around long enough, you will find the linear path.

      It is SO OBVIOUS it was intentionally funny.
      I don't know how anyone can't see it

        It is a black comedy after all so yeah that hit was over the top.

          I believe that it is easy to find this particular part humorous since there is a fine line between comedy and tragedy.

            It was definitely not something I'd laugh at in person, but it's hilarious how the dude was stupid enough to stand in the middle of a very busy street to look back at a chick he just met in the first place.

              To me, that's the really noteworthy aspect of the scene. Only in a Hollywood movie would it ever be possible for a person to become so disconnected from reality that they would walk into a street, completely oblivious to the vehicles racing across it at high speed.
              It should be against the law to use "LOL" unless you really did LOL!

                A good quality clip is on youtube by movieclips. He actually repeatedly looked both ways, but got distracted one time and then, well.
                Haters will hate but the two leads had great chemistry and credible reasons to keep looking back. Why do you think craigslist's missed connections is so famous (or infamous).

                  No. It's funny because it's bad executed and Pitt is bouncing on several cars like a parody.

                    LOL. Nope, I laughed too. Actually, I was so into the moment of hoping he would go back to her that when he "played pong with the cars" 🙂 I was stunned into silence for about 30 seconds and then laughed for the following 5 mins.

                      I saw this movie in the theater and the crowd's reaction to the accident was priceless. A few people actually screamed out loud. There was an equally overt reaction when I saw Cliffhanger in the theater when the girl fell like 10 minutes into the movie.
                      My rhymes are so potent that in this small segment I made all of the ladies on IMDb pregnant.

                        Firs time, hilarious. When I watched it again, knowing it was just some guy (First time, I thought he was already Death), it was kinda more depressing.

                          I saw it coming. You see him walking plaining across the street as the "DONT WALK" sign is in red above him. I still found it sad. maybe he was so in-love he couldnt give a beep about everything else around him. Like he was floating and everything else was a blur.

                            I laughed my ass off, never saw it coming. Think I remember drinking cola at that point and spilling it all over the table 😛

                              Brad Pitt getting tagged with the car was pretty sweet also, that got weighted into my 1 star rating.

                                Funny? Hilarious? Laughed your ass off? OK.
                                I found it shocking, horrifying, brutal, and final beyond all doubt.

                                      I was just watching it the other day,and said out loud," WHY was that made so comically?" It didn't seem to fit the tone of the movie.
                                      Yeah,the planets really aligned for this one.Now,move uranus;the mercury's rising.

                                          And that's why he got hit by the car; standing there in the road, he was sorry he didn't get her number and was trying to decide if he should go chase her. Then she disappeared around the corner. Joe died thinking of Susan.
