00:00Where'd you go, huh?
00:01Look, you see?
00:02That is why women have the babies, you see?
00:04Because men can't handle the power.
00:07Welcome to Miss Mojo,
00:08and today we're looking at the movie birthing scenes
00:11that delivered the biggest belly laughs.
00:13Get off, both of you!
00:17Where are you going?
00:23Daddy, why don't you come and be a part of this?
00:25I'm going to talk to your baby, Barry.
00:28Hi, baby.
00:30I'm Barry Munday.
00:32I wish you all the best.
00:35Despite its talented cast,
00:36this film's premise is as bizarre as it gets.
00:39The titular character deals with losing his, uh, family jewels
00:43while expecting a child with a woman he can't remember being with.
00:47Barry, our group provides support
00:49to help us understand what has happened to us.
00:52Considering all of this,
00:53the equally bizarre delivery scene does feel fitting.
00:56Caught off guard by the baby's sudden arrival,
00:58the parents-to-be are forced to improvise.
01:00Everything from screaming family members
01:02to annoying well noises get in their way.
01:05What the hell is this?
01:06It's, uh, whales, uh, in the ocean.
01:09Uh, it's supposed to be soothing.
01:12Right?
01:15What?
01:16Here we go.
01:17What?
01:18What are you saying?
01:19I can't hear you!
01:20Just reach down, just reach down.
01:23Still, everyone manages to pull together just enough
01:26for this wacky delivery to end on a heartwarming note.
01:32This comedy centers around three friends
01:35on an outlandish road to fatherhood,
01:37so an over-the-top birthing scene is just what the doctor ordered.
01:41You have a baby here?
01:42No, no, no, no one had baby here!
01:44The three becoming fathers at the same time
01:46is definitely a stretch,
01:48but that's the least of the film's concerns,
01:50as each expectant mother reaches her breaking point,
01:53the characters come up with wildly inventive
01:55and contrasting solutions.
01:57Talk to me, say anything.
01:59把你屁股抬起来,跟我!
02:02What?
02:03Well, that's what your daddy always tells me!
02:05Would you prefer a delivery room
02:07where everyone jams to their favorite song,
02:09or is giving birth in a department store more your speed?
02:12Perhaps a home birth where the mom ends up biting the dad?
02:15Whichever works for you,
02:16the film has you covered with its hilariously absurd approach
02:19to the chaos of childbirth.
02:21把你屁股抬起来,跟我!
02:23把你屁股抬起来,跟我!
02:25把你屁股抬起来,跟我!
02:27把你屁股抬起来,跟我!
02:29把你屁股抬起来,跟我!
02:31把你屁股抬起来,跟我!
02:33把你屁股抬起来,跟我!
02:3618. Self Delivery – Wanderlust
02:39Starring Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston,
02:41Wanderlust follows their characters as they end up in a hippie commune.
02:45Embracing the free love lifestyle,
02:47Rudd is open to the advances of a woman he's attracted to.
02:50The only catch? She's in the middle of labor.
02:53While you might expect her to be in distress,
02:55it's Rudd who struggles to keep it together.
02:57Yes, I am, George.
02:58Oh, no, no, no, no. Stop doing that.
03:00There's nothing to stop, George.
03:01My baby's on its journey.
03:03Oh, my God. All right.
03:05I'll call the hospital.
03:06No, no need.
03:08I'm gonna do this myself.
03:10Then again, watching someone casually deliver her own baby
03:13isn't exactly something you see every day.
03:15The extreme contrast between their reactions leaves us in stitches,
03:18and just as the baby arrives, it's time for Rudd to pass out,
03:21providing the scene with the perfect climax.
03:24Are you okay?
03:25I'm passing out.
03:2617. Home Delivery – Are We Done Yet?
03:29As it usually goes in movies, things get out of hand at the worst time.
03:33In this case, Ice Cube's wife goes into labor,
03:35forcing the family to have a home birth.
03:37Oh, Nick, I'm gonna kill you.
03:39For what?
03:40You did this to me.
03:42With help far away, the only option is to follow instructions over the phone.
03:46However, that proves easier said than done.
03:48With no stomach for this sort of thing, Ice Cube is more than out of his element.
03:52It isn't long before the protagonist loses consciousness,
03:55and we're wondering who really needs a doctor here.
03:57See if the first baby is crowning.
04:00Come on, man, what'd that mean?
04:02Can you see the baby?
04:04Oh, my God.
04:12It's like the guppy's all over again.
04:14Honey.
04:15Chuckie's down.
04:16Just when you think it couldn't get any more random,
04:18Magic Johnson of all people comes calling.
04:21Yo, Nick, it's Irving Johnson.
04:23Magic?
04:24But this is a family film, so everything works out in the end.
04:2816. Big Mama Takes Charge – Big Mama's House
04:31Anthony Anderson and Nia Long were expecting parents in our earlier entries,
04:35but they're part of the delivery crew here.
04:37In a room filled with clueless individuals,
04:39it falls onto Martin Lawrence's Big Mama to get the job done.
04:43Look, I took CPR.
04:44Can't be too much harder than that.
04:46Damn, that's a baby.
04:48Will you shut up, please?
04:50Big Mama can handle this.
04:51Now get out of here.
04:52Big Mama's here, darling.
04:53Don't worry about nothing.
04:55Of course, it's a trial and error process with a whole lot of errors,
04:58as Big Mama painfully finds out.
05:01Before you know it, our pregnant lady finds herself
05:03being treated like a dish about to be served for dinner.
05:06I think you should sterilize that. Is that sterilized?
05:08Oh, yeah, I use WD-40 acid. Easy, awful.
05:11Big Mama, we got fried chicken.
05:13Anderson's character gets the brunt of her ire,
05:15including a literal foot in his mouth.
05:17The deafening screams and frantic energy
05:19almost make you forget we're witnessing the birth of a child.
05:22Still, all's well that ends well,
05:24as the little one's arrival melts all the tension away.
05:27Look at her. She's something else.
05:31Number 15. Good vs. Bad
05:33What to expect when you're expecting.
05:35All deliveries are different.
05:37For some, it's a pretty painful process.
05:39For others, it's as easy as a sneeze.
05:42At least, that's what this rom-com tells us.
05:44We watch three women in labor with varying degrees of intensity.
05:47Where Elizabeth Banks is potentially at risk,
05:49Brooklyn Decker coasts through her delivery.
05:53Wow, that's one baby loud.
05:55Meanwhile, Cameron Diaz treats us to a live rendition
05:58of the most blood-curdling scream you can imagine.
06:05The film blends the usual comedy tropes
06:07with a soft dose of reality,
06:09giving the scene a funny but meaningful quality.
06:12There's also the standard blaming-the-father moment,
06:14just not the way anyone would see coming.
06:17Number 14. Squid Baby. Men in Black
06:20The aliens in the Men in Black universe
06:22usually disguise themselves as humans.
06:24That doesn't apply to a newborn, though,
06:26as Agent J learns the hard way.
06:28You come with me, Reg.
06:32And you handle this.
06:34What? Me?
06:36Yeah, it's easy. You just catch.
06:38While Agent K questions the father,
06:40J has to deal with the struggles of alien childbirth.
06:42Let's just say that he's not the only one
06:44J has to deal with the struggles of alien childbirth.
06:46Let's just say it doesn't go well.
06:48We're not sure what species it belongs to,
06:50but kudos to the mother for powering through.
06:52With a fixed camera in place,
06:54the scene comically contrasts K
06:56and the father's casual banter
06:58with J's desperate attempts to survive.
07:00It's all worth it, though, as everyone welcomes
07:02the surprisingly adorable squid baby to the world.
07:05So does that technically make it an Earth baby?
07:08We'll let you decide.
07:10You know, it's...
07:12actually kind of...
07:20cute.
07:21Number 13, Baby Trouble.
07:23Look who's talking.
07:24This labor process takes longer than most.
07:26Starting from a cab ride,
07:28Kirstie Alley's character gets put through the wringer.
07:30Her short temper doesn't help matters either,
07:32as John Travolta tries to navigate
07:34through the city's chaotic streets.
07:36Oh, you stupid son of a...
07:40Are you doing your Lamaze breathing?
07:42Look out!
07:48Come on, breathe deep, breathe deep.
07:50Try to help me just drive!
07:51The comedy of errors continues at the hospital,
07:53from mistaking Travolta as the father
07:55to looking for a doctor.
07:57Unlike most comedies, there's no shrieking
07:59and thrashing during this birth.
08:01Instead, the film goes the other way,
08:03as both mother and baby's inhibitions
08:05fly out the window.
08:06Thank you a really lot.
08:09Ah, now that is a little more like it.
08:13Whoa.
08:14Hey, here's Mr. Hand here.
08:16Wow.
08:18Now that is very cosmic.
08:21I don't understand.
08:22Whoa.
08:23Depicting childbirth through a cartoonish lens
08:25might seem bizarre,
08:26but it's the sort of whimsical comedy
08:28that made Look Who's Talking such a success.
08:31Number 12, It's a Boy.
08:32The women.
08:33Ever heard the phrase, music to the ears?
08:35Well, you're not going to think of that
08:37during this scene.
08:38While she never fully loses composure,
08:40Deborah Messing belts it out
08:41like you wouldn't believe,
08:43and the mother-to-be's friends
08:44also start panicking around her.
08:46Right here!
08:47Ah!
09:04It's the point of the movie
09:05where all the plot threads resolve themselves,
09:07so tensions are running high.
09:09It might be difficult to keep up
09:10with all that's happening,
09:11but one thing's for sure,
09:13this kid needs to come out ASAP.
09:15Because he's a good man.
09:17He knew I loved him,
09:18and I love him,
09:19and he loves me,
09:20and we love the kids,
09:21and now I'm going to stop
09:23because I am so exhausted
09:24and I want this kid out of me right now,
09:26right now.
09:27Get out!
09:28In an all-female film filled with twists,
09:30the labor scene gives us one more.
09:32It's a boy.
09:33Congratulations.
09:35It's a boy.
09:38Number 11.
09:39It's an Addams.
09:40Addams Family Values.
09:42If you think you know how movie labor scenes work,
09:44then you better think again.
09:46As they always do,
09:47the Addams family flips everything on its head.
09:49Thanks to their taste for the macabre,
09:51any chance of pain is a welcome prospect.
09:53You in unbearable pain.
09:55Is it inhuman?
09:56My darling, is it torture?
09:58Oui.
09:59Far from worrying for their mother,
10:01the children have an amusingly blunt approach to the situation.
10:04And the diamond turned into a baby.
10:07Our parents are having a baby, too.
10:10They had sex.
10:11To call it a smooth delivery would be putting it lightly,
10:14as morticia makes the birthing process
10:16look like the easiest thing in the world.
10:18Fans love the way this clan surprises us time and again,
10:22and Baby Pubert's grand entry
10:24definitely doesn't disappoint.
10:26Father, what is it?
10:28It's an Addams.
10:29Number 10.
10:30Sleeping pills.
10:31Father of the Bride, Part 2.
10:33The days leading up to labor can be draining for the whole family,
10:36but compensating for that lack of sleep can be hazardous.
10:39Stressed by the simultaneous pregnancies of his daughter and his wife,
10:42George is understandably exhausted.
10:44Reaching the end of his rope,
10:45George advents to his friend, Frank,
10:47who gives him a seemingly simple solution.
10:50Sleeping pills.
10:51Well, Dad hadn't been sleeping so well lately,
10:53so I thought I'd take a couple of very mild sleeping pills.
10:56Hmm.
10:58Please pass the brooms.
11:02Nice.
11:04Dad?
11:06Dad?
11:07What's he doing?
11:08What's he doing?
11:09George! George!
11:10Underestimating their effectiveness,
11:11George passes out cold almost immediately after taking them,
11:15and sure enough, his daughter goes into labor shortly afterwards.
11:18Polarity ensues as George is dragged to the car,
11:21where from the passenger seat,
11:22his unconscious body nearly causes an accident
11:25and a fight with some strangers.
11:27Things don't slow down once they're at the hospital, though,
11:29as his wife, shortly, goes into labor as well.
11:32George, I think I'm almost there.
11:35Yeah, Dad, don't go too far. We may need you.
11:37Dad?
11:40Dad!
11:43We're moving her into delivery.
11:44Number 9. I Want My Larry, Jr.
11:47Childbirth can make any mother aggressive,
11:49but imagine the dangers of being around a man the size of Arnold Schwarzenegger
11:52when he goes into labor.
11:54Enjoying some peace and quiet at a retreat for expectant mothers,
11:57Alex, the father-to-be in this gender-swapping comedy,
12:00feels the baby coming.
12:01I want my Larry.
12:03I know, but meantime, let's have our doctor take a look at you.
12:06There's nothing to worry about.
12:08I really think it's important that I see you.
12:11I don't want to see you.
12:13Suddenly, his not-so-elaborate female cover is a lot harder to keep up.
12:17Yet, when he starts yelling for Larry,
12:19it's with such intensity that no one would question the fact
12:22that Larry must be the father.
12:24It's Larry!
12:25Honey, open up!
12:26It's Larry, open up!
12:28Larry!
12:29Pumpkin!
12:34Oh, oh, okay.
12:39Oh, I can't believe it!
12:43I can't believe it!
12:45Arnie is in fine form in this scene,
12:47delivering perfectly over-the-top physical comedy
12:49as his character breathes through the pain.
12:52Breathe, breathe!
12:54Stop throwing at me!
12:55Number eight, a last-minute marriage.
12:57Lethal Weapon 4
12:58When a pregnant woman makes a request, you should listen.
13:01That goes double when she's already in labor.
13:03By the time Riggs arrives at the hospital,
13:05Lorna is already deep into her contractions,
13:07and her demands kick into high gear.
13:09Clearly distressed, Lorna grabs another patient's IV
13:12before asking Riggs to marry her.
13:14No, I'm not going!
13:15No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait!
13:17Please, Riggs, go get a minister.
13:19Now?
13:20Yeah, right now, because we're getting married.
13:21Oh, God, here comes another one.
13:23No, no, no, wait, no,
13:24I just want to hear the words from the minister
13:25before the baby comes.
13:26Honey, I think...
13:27Come on!
13:28Listen, I am getting married or there is no baby, you got it?
13:31It's a deeply touching moment,
13:33perfectly undercut when she hilariously begins
13:35insisting that they get married that very moment
13:37or there is no baby.
13:39Finding Abe amused, but ultimately accommodating Rabbi,
13:42they wind up getting unofficially married
13:44in the hallowed halls of the hospital,
13:46complete with a broken glass and a mazel tov.
13:49This is some insanity.
13:51What is this?
13:52You gotta break this glass.
13:53I get piss on my shoes.
13:54You gotta do this!
13:55Oh, okay.
13:56Mazel tov!
13:57Okay, let's go.
13:58Number seven, The Miracle of Birth,
14:00Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.
14:02Opening their bizarre comedy on a memorable note,
14:04the Monty Python crew notice their delivery room
14:07is far too empty.
14:08Demanding handfuls of machines,
14:10including an expensive one and a beeping one,
14:12they clearly have a very detached understanding
14:14of their role as medical professionals,
14:16so much so that they initially forget
14:18that they need a patient.
14:19Jolly good, that's better.
14:20That's much, much better.
14:22Yeah, more like it.
14:24Uh, still something missing though.
14:28Hmm?
14:29Hmm.
14:33Patient!
14:34Doing absurdist comedy the way only they can,
14:37the men of Monty Python then deliver the baby violently
14:39and with plenty of aggressively honest commentary.
14:42They end off by waving the baby in the mother's face
14:45in a way that you wouldn't want to revisit,
14:47be it on VHS, Super 8, or Betamax.
14:49Shocking, but funny.
14:51It's lots of happy pills for you,
14:52and you can find out all about the birth when you get home.
14:55It's available on Betamax, VHS, and Super 8.
14:59Number six, Delivery a la Dr. Kosovich,
15:02Nine Months.
15:03It's important to make a good entrance,
15:05and boy, does this pair have it down to an art form.
15:08Entering the hospital,
15:09Rebecca flies right across the floor on her wheelchair,
15:11ending up in another patient's room
15:13before Sam comes after her.
15:15I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
15:16Are you alright?
15:17Get me out of here!
15:18Are you alright?
15:19May I help you?
15:20Yes, Rebecca Faulkner for Dr. Green.
15:22Her water's broken.
15:23Oh, I'll get the doctor for you, Sam.
15:24Okay.
15:25Well, come on, move!
15:26Finding out that the inexperienced Dr. Kosovich
15:28will be handling the delivery,
15:30they whine and yell,
15:31scaring him into ranting about the packed hospital
15:34before admitting it's his first birth.
15:36Everybody's going into labor.
15:38Look around you.
15:39There are not enough doctors,
15:40there are not enough nurses,
15:41and there are not enough delivery rooms, okay?
15:43So unless you want to deliver this baby yourself,
15:45follow me!
15:46Ow!
15:49Oh, God.
15:50I'm okay.
15:52I'm a little nervous, okay?
15:53It's my first delivery.
15:55As Rebecca starts freaking out at a doctor so incompetent
15:58he doesn't know what an epidural is,
16:00their friend Gail tears her husband a new one
16:02in the heat of her pregnancy.
16:04It's double the mayhem in this delivery room,
16:06and twice the laughs.
16:08That's perfect, sweetheart.
16:09I got it all on film.
16:10The kids are gonna love it.
16:11Maybe I'll put it in the...
16:13Get out!
16:14Number five, the taxi ride to the hospital.
16:17How to be single.
16:18Births don't always wait for a convenient time.
16:20While that can be a serious headache in real life,
16:22on film it's an opportunity to get creative with the laughs.
16:25With Meg's water breaking in the street,
16:27Robin commits life and limb to scoring a taxi
16:30for the ready-to-pop mother-to-be.
16:31Take us to the hospital and I won't see you.
16:34Fascinating between supportive friend and wildly immature,
16:37Robin simultaneously holds onto the phone
16:39and the panicked future mother with their friend.
16:42Alice, while giving genuinely helpful updates
16:44about the progress of the birth,
16:46her inconsistent care of Meg reaches its comedic climax
16:49when, unable to open the car door,
16:51she hurls herself and the pregnant mother out the window
16:53before realizing the door was just locked.
16:56Robin, it is locked.
16:57At least she's dedicated, right?
16:59Number four, a water birth exorcism.
17:01The backup plan.
17:02If you have anyone committed to all natural methods in your life,
17:05well, enjoy this moment.
17:07While Zoe and Stan try to adjust to the parental experience
17:10as outlined by the Single Mothers and Proud group,
17:13fellow member Lori starts her water birth,
17:15which proves to be a lot for Zoe.
17:18No, Zoe! Don't you move!
17:20You are my focal point!
17:21This isn't even fair!
17:23Screaming, she insists Zoe is her focal point,
17:26forcing the terrified mother-to-be to stay in the room
17:28while she goes demonic.
17:30Grabbing Zoe, Lori does what can only be described
17:33as her best exorcism impression.
17:35Give me a mirror! I want to see it!
17:37No! You don't! You don't!
17:39The final push proves to be so hard to watch
17:41that Zoe faints into the birthing pool
17:43as the baby comes out.
17:45Not exactly a great sales pitch for the expectant mother.
17:47Everyone says it's so beautiful.
17:51I thought it was terrifying.
17:54I don't ever want to see that again.
17:56Number three, Angie describes the feeling of labor.
17:59Baby mama.
18:00The universe has some very gross ways
18:01of getting people back together.
18:03After almost parting ways following a legal battle,
18:05Kate and Angie work together when Angie's water breaks.
18:08Angie is uncharacteristically serene,
18:10right up until her arrival at the emergency room, that is,
18:13when she gives one of the best hauntingly visual analogies
18:16for a birth ever.
18:18Yelling at cops and destroying hospital equipment
18:20on her way down the hall,
18:21she certainly manages to get the attention
18:23of the nursing staff.
18:24I want those drugs!
18:25You'll never get me, pig!
18:28Get out of my way!
18:37Is that guy dead?
18:38It's the chaos, beauty, and humor of birth
18:40served up all at once,
18:42as only Amy Poehler and Tina Fey could present it.
18:45Kate, I'm so glad you're here.
18:47You don't look good, by the way.
18:49I'm still a little dizzy.
18:51Give me a big one!
18:53Big one!
18:56Number 2. A two-man job.
18:58Bridget Jones' baby.
18:59When you can't get a ride,
19:00you have to make do with whatever.
19:02Or, rather, whoever is available.
19:04Detracting ever so slightly from the heroics of his gesture,
19:08Mark has to stop to breathe
19:09when the weight of a very pregnant Bridget
19:11becomes too much.
19:13Mile and a half. Here we go.
19:16Are you... okay?
19:19It's probably best I don't talk too much.
19:22He's finally relieved by Jack,
19:24who smugly takes over
19:25before realizing exactly what he's signed up for.
19:28I got this!
19:29Oh, thank you!
19:30I got this!
19:31Oh!
19:32Okay.
19:33Oh!
19:34Jesus!
19:35Oh!
19:36Jesus!
19:37Oh!
19:38Jesus!
19:39Is this a two-man job?
19:41Calling Mark back for what he calls a two-man job,
19:43the pair finally gets Bridget to the hospital
19:45before getting stuck in the doors.
19:47Twisting her inside, they arrive so exhausted
19:49they almost throw her on the counter.
19:51It's unglamorous, but then again,
19:53Bridget's life has always been a comedy of errors.

20:12Number one, Alison, the mother of all mothers,
20:15knocked up.
20:16A word of advice,
20:17don't critique a pregnant woman.
20:19Alison is already far along when the doctors come in to help.
20:22Pleading for an epidural,
20:24Alison insists that she can stop the birth
20:26just to make sure she can get one,
20:28even though it's clear she's past the point of no return.
20:30We're past the point of an epidural, okay?
20:32The cervix is fully dilated.
20:34No, seriously!
20:35I want an epidural!
20:36I know there's time!
20:37We can't give you the epidural.
20:38Take the time!
20:39I'll make sure it doesn't come out!
20:41I'll push you.
20:42As she expresses her pain like a banshee,
20:44one of the doctors tries to get her to bring it down a notch,
20:47which proves to be a big mistake.
20:50Barely able to keep it together,
20:51she focuses all of her rage
20:53and yells Jay right out of the room.
20:55What do you look like?
20:56I shouldn't have gone in there.
20:58Don't go in there.
20:59Promise me you don't go in there.
21:01Alison owns that delivery room,
21:03which is a point she makes hilariously clear
21:05to every man in there.
21:07Which labor scene had you belly laughing?
21:09Let us know in the comments.
21:11You okay?
21:12No, I just lost a little blood.
21:14Oh!
21:15Everybody relax.
21:16Just relax.
21:17We need to find a hospital, okay?
21:19Do you agree with our picks?
