00:00Welcome to MsMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the wackiest and wildest
00:10behavior ever committed in a rom-com.
00:13I don't know what to say. You look... Megan, are you okay?
00:20Number 10. Brunch with the family. The Wedding Ringer. When you put Josh Gad, Kevin Hart
00:27and Kaley Cuoco in a romantic comedy together, you're bound to get some type of wild energy,
00:32if nothing else. The Wedding Ringer definitely delivers on that hyped-up energy. In the film,
00:38Kevin Hart's character runs a company that provides friendless guys with groomsmen for
00:42their weddings.
00:43Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Bick Mitchum. I'm your new best man.
00:47It's great to finally meet you.
00:49No, that's bullshit, Doug. It's great to see you again, man.
00:54When he meets one client's family, things get a little out of hand. The client, played
00:59by Josh Gad, tells his family that Hart is a military priest.
01:03Where are you from originally?
01:05Originally, North Dakota.
01:07Oh, no kidding. What town?
01:09Henderson.
01:10I've never heard of Henderson.
01:11Oh, Henderson's a very small town.
01:13Well, where is it in relation to Bismarck?
01:16But when the lie starts to get away from them, Hart decides to create a distraction, an almost
01:21deadly one.
01:22He spills hot food on Gad and ends up setting an elderly family member on literal fire.
01:28I need liquid!
01:31Oh, my God!
01:33Number 9. Cat Marries Charlie.
01:35Marry Me.
01:36A rom-com that starts unhinged and keeps going from there.
01:40Normal, rational decisions aren't really part of the playbook in 2022's Marry Me.
01:45El momento que todo me esperaba era que lo hiciera.
01:53When pop star Cat Valdez, played by Jennifer Lopez, finds out that her fiancé has cheated
01:59on her, she makes a somewhat rash choice.
02:02While on stage at a concert, she sees a man, played by Owen Wilson, with a sign in the
02:07crowd that says, Marry Me.
02:09Now, this is the name of one of her songs, so it makes sense that someone would have
02:15signed.
02:16It's clearly not an actual proposal.
02:19Sure.
02:22I'll marry you.
02:24You.
02:25But does that stop Cat?
02:27Absolutely not.
02:28She agrees to marry this complete stranger, and it literally happens right then and there.
02:33I now declare you husband and wife.
02:45Number 8.
02:46Age Difference.
02:4713 going on 30.
02:49With a premise like this, things are bound to get a little wonky.
02:53When 13-year-old Jenna Rink wishes that she was 30 after a disastrous birthday party,
02:58her wish comes true.
03:04Trouble is, while her body may be 30 years old, her mind is still very much stuck as
03:09a preteen.
03:10While out with her friend Lucy at a bar, Lucy encourages Jenna to go hit on a guy.
03:15Jenna gets up, but does she walk to the fully grown man?
03:19Absolutely not.
03:20Instead, she walks over to a young boy and proceeds to flirt with him in the most awkward
03:24manner possible.
03:30Can I borrow your ketchup?
03:32The comedy chops of Jennifer Garner somehow make this moment hilarious, but that doesn't
03:37stop it from achieving unhinged status.
03:39So, do you want to go out sometime?
03:41Uh, we're gonna take off now.
03:43Can we drive?
03:44Time to go.
03:45What, do you want to go to jail?
03:47I'm a fat guy.
03:48Number 7.
03:49A Wedding Punch.
03:50Sweet Home Alabama.
03:52An early Reese Witherspoon entry into the romantic comedy canon, Sweet Home Alabama
03:57capitalizes on the actress' southern roots.
04:00The movie follows Melanie, a woman stuck between two men, her stylish city boy fiancé, Andrew,
04:06and her rough-around-the-edges country husband, Jake.
04:09We'd explain, but it's a long story.
04:12The film climaxes at Melanie and Andrew's wedding, but just before she says,
04:16I do, Melanie realizes her heart belongs with Jake.
04:19I gave my heart away a long time ago.
04:23My whole heart.
04:25And I never really got it back.
04:27Andrew's mother, the mayor of NYC, has something to say about that.
04:32Oh, go back to your double-wide and fry something.
04:37After she insults Melanie's mother, the southern pops out of Mel,
04:41and she socks the mayor right in the kisser.
04:49Nobody talks about mama like that!
04:51Number 6.
04:52The Eagle.
04:53The Proposal.
04:54When you think of The Proposal, you probably think of Sandra Bullock dancing to Get Low.
04:59For the, oh, you see the van, the window, the wall.
05:04While that is a strong contender for the most unhinged thing that happens in the film,
05:08it's beat out by this ridiculous moment.
05:11While on the phone with an important client,
05:14Margaret Tate is shocked when a giant eagle swipes up her fake fiancé, Andrew's family dog.
05:20Just, uh, I just want you to be happy, Frank.
05:22Give me that dog!
05:23Uh, and I need, Frank, for you to hold on just a second.
05:26Frank, can you hold on just a second?
05:27Give me that dog!
05:28Give me that dog!
05:30Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
05:33Oh, oh.
05:34Margaret saves the dog, but when the eagle gets hold of her cell phone, she changes her mind.
05:39The image of Sandra Bullock running around waving a dog in the air
05:42as she tries to persuade the eagle to trade her pup for a phone
05:46is something that has stayed with us since 2009.
05:49Is that cute or what?
05:51I know.
05:54Hi, guys.
05:55Have you seen, uh...
05:57She's playing with Kevin.
05:59We thought she didn't like him.
06:00Number five, hair gel.
06:02There's something about Mary.
06:04If there's one indelible image from There's Something About Mary,
06:07it's got to be this one.
06:09Now, other bonkers things happen in this movie,
06:11such as bathroom mishaps and ridiculous dog fights,
06:15but Cameron Diaz's special, um, hair gel
06:19is the thing that never leaves our mind.
06:21What is that?
06:23Hmm?
06:24On your ear.
06:26When Ben Stiller's character somehow gets a very personal body fluid on his ear,
06:30Diaz mistakes it for hair gel.
06:32In a completely disgusting move, she decides to take some for her own.
06:36Great.
06:37No, no, no.
06:38You don't have to.
06:39You don't...
06:40I just ran out.
06:43The best thing about this scene is how completely seriously
06:46Diaz takes such a preposterous turn of events.
06:49She plays it completely straight,
06:51while the rest of us are truly flabbergasted.
06:54So, so when you say, um, killer,
06:57you mean...
06:58He's a murderer.
06:59Yeah.
07:00Like an actual convicted murderer?
07:01No, he killed people.
07:02Number four, poker night.
07:04How to lose a guy in ten days.
07:06There's nothing more deserving of our laughter than a love fern.
07:10Okay, except for maybe Kate Hudson's performance in this magnificently wacky scene.
07:14How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days follows Andy and Ben
07:18as they drive each other crazy while secretly trying to win separate bets.
07:22Ben is determined to stay with Andy and make her fall in love with him,
07:26while Andy is determined to make Ben dump her.
07:29I better get going.
07:34Take care of our love fern, then.
07:36Bye.
07:43The best scene showcasing their covert competition
07:46occurs on Ben's friendly poker night.
07:49Hey, Francis.
07:55Tony.
07:56Hi, Tony.
07:57Andy makes it her mission to make the night miserable,
08:00including, famously, crying over a plant.
08:03Watching Ben put up with the madness is endlessly entertaining.
08:07You let it die!
08:11You're gonna let us die?
08:13Hmm?
08:16You should think about that.
08:20The hell's a love fern?
08:25Number three, stalking in Seattle.
08:27Sleepless in Seattle.
08:29The scene most often associated with Sleepless in Seattle
08:32comes at the end,
08:34when Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan meet atop the Empire State Building.
08:38It's like we go into a sort of trance.
08:40It's you.
08:41It's me.
08:43I saw you in the street.
08:46Are you Annie?
08:49Yes.
08:50The moment is so effortlessly magical,
08:52we forget all past transgressions,
08:54including one fairly significant one involving stalking.
08:58In the middle of the film,
08:59Ryan's character, Annie,
09:00flees to Seattle, where Hanks' character, Sam, lives.
09:14Does she approach him?
09:15Absolutely not.
09:16Instead, she creepily watches him and his son from afar,
09:19never introducing herself once.
09:29Listen, we love this movie,
09:31but we can't deny this behaviour is a bit off-kilter at best.
09:35Number two, food poisoning.
09:37Bridesmaids.
09:38Judd Apatow did produce this movie,
09:41so it's not that we didn't expect some gross-out body humour.
09:45We just never expected it to this degree.
09:48Megan, are you okay?
09:53Oh.
09:54I think my chest was probably just tight.
09:58Oh, my God.
09:59Bridesmaids follows a woman named Annie
10:01and the trials and tribulations
10:03of serving as maid of honour for her best friend's wedding.
10:06Here's a pro tip, Annie.
10:08Maybe going to a questionable steakhouse
10:10before wedding dress shopping is a bad move.
10:13During the dress appointment, the gang all get food poisoning,
10:16leading to a mesmerisingly disgusting scene
10:19where the entire crew disgorge their lunches.
10:22It's happening.
10:23It's happening.
10:26It happened.
10:27It happened.
10:28What are you doing?
10:29It happened.
10:30If you remember anything about this scene,
10:32you probably remember Melissa McCarthy
10:34relieving herself in a sink.
10:36For that, we salute her.
10:38What did we eat?
10:40The sink's a goner!
10:41What are you doing?
10:42It's coming out of me like lava!

10:59Number 1.
11:00Scar Joe in the closet.
11:02He's just not that into you.
11:04It's one thing to be a cheater,
11:06but in He's Just Not That Into You,
11:08Bradley Cooper takes jerk to a whole other level.
11:11Cooper plays Ben, a man who begins an affair with Anna,
11:14played by Scarlett Johansson.
11:16Under the pretense he can help her with her music career.
11:19You gotta come back later.
11:22It's not Dana.
11:24Okay.
11:27In one scene,
11:28Anna and Ben are about to have sex in his office
11:30when his wife Janine enters the picture.
11:33Why do you even bother locking it?
11:35What?
11:36Why do you bother locking it?
11:40Oh, you know I can't get any work done if I don't.
11:42Ben forces Anna to hide in the closet wearing only her underwear
11:45and then proceeds to have sex with Janine
11:47while Anna is in the closet.
11:49Do you wanna save our marriage?
11:54Of course.
11:56It's probably one of the most despicable things
11:58a man has done in a rom-com
12:00and so unhinged we can barely believe it.
12:03If we missed any of your favorite unhinged moments in the genre,
12:06let us know in the comments below.
12:08You're up, you're down, you're here, you're there.
12:10You're like a freaking one-woman circus, Andy.
12:13So I guess this means we're over.
12:15Yeah, I guess so.
