Movie lines people laughed at in theaters despite not actually being intended to be funny? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I remember in Revenge of the Sith, when the actor playing Vader yells "nooooooooo", at what is supposed to be the emotional climax of the trilogy, the theater roared in laughter.

Do you have other examples?

Not quite the same but having listened to the 1712 Overture several times before hearing the 1812, I didn't get some of the jokes until I actually heard the 1812, and THAT's when I laughed.

But on-topic me and the wife have been watching an animation film where the cinema was mostly kids and we got, and laughed out loud at, some of the "jokes for the grown-ups" that none of the kids did, who were all staring at us for laughing at something that was totally not funny for them.
