Never really, I tend to enjoy the humor more when it's the early films and absolutely love the diabolical wit of the Mankewicz trilogy.

I've always laughed when Bond sees Stacey Sutton and tells Sir Godfrey, "On a mission, I am expected to sacrifice myself." With that legendary Roger eyebrow raise and the tone of voice, I get a chuckle every time!

First time I saw FRWL was in a theater, on a triple bill revival with GF and DN. Connery cracked me up with three or four lines at least. "unless she's mental" may not have been intended to be funny, but we reuse that around the apartment as often as any SEINFELD quote. "She's had her kicks" was outasight great. And Bond's "let me tell you the secret of the world" is hands-down the hardest I ever laughed at an intentional humor bit in a Bond movie, though "She's just dead" from TB and "Shocking" from GF are pretty close too.
Later films ... "Salt Corrosion" from TLD, perhaps Dalton's only good BondHumor line reading, though he did unbondish humor well, like the "don't meet too many ordinary people" with Q.
Maybe there should be a thread about times a Bond movie has made you groan out loud? I'm thinking VIEW and FYEO and MR and SPY and OCT have all got multiples.

Me and my mom watched the pre title sequence of DAF and just cracked up when Bond tugs the string and the unibrow guy gets covered in "Mud" when we laughed that it felt more like Bond flushed the guy.
Beg your pardon, forgot to knock.

Recently we saw AVTAK in the cinema and due to this brilliant cut (a favourite of mine) , when it came up on the screen, I laughed out loud and then giggled for about 10 minutes like one does when you're not supposed to laugh in a meeting or church or something. It cracks me up every time.
Daniel says this is better cut than most Bond scenes.

I laughed a lot at Casino Royale. One of my favorite scenes is Bond and M in M's apartment, and I find it one of the funniest scenes in the series to date.
M: "And how the hell did you find out where I lived?!" Bond: "Same way I figured out your name. I thought 'M' was just a randomly assigned letter, I had no idea it stood for - " M: "Utter one more syllable and I'll have you killed!"
Nearly any time the Daniel Craig Bond and the Judi Dench M are on screen, I find it hilarious. And, just like everybody else in the theater at that moment, I laughed at "Now everyone's gonna know you died scratching my balls!" I think Daniel Craig's films are probably some of the funniest films in the series, it's just not the type of obvious humor that Moore or Brosnan had, it's far more subtle.

Bond films don't really do comedy well, even in the Roger Moore years. My laugh out loud moments have definitely been unintentional on the film makers' parts.

The romantic dialogue between Bond and Vesper toward the end of CASINO ROYALE always makes for a good laugh.

I've laughed at the nightclub scene in Dr No at the guy dancing in the background. THOSE EYES!!
Also in the same scene Bond seemed to be on edge for some reason, talking in a super fast speed ("lookyourtalkingaboutCrabKeylikeit'ssospecialwhycan'twegooverthere?!"). Also he looks like he wants to punch someone.

Yea... that nightclub scene in Dr. No is fun. Bond does seem like he's had some uppers or something.

Brosnan when he's out of breath always gives me a good laugh.

Seeing Brosnan like this always gives me a chuckle.
Granted, there are times when I'm not sure if I should laugh, or honor him for dying for our sins.

Brosnan is really good in the film. His best performance, but he does have one bad delivery that's pretty laughable.
"I'M GOING AHFTAH HIM!!!"
I think our resident Lazenby. once referred to that as an angry farmer going after a rabbit.

It's funny because 11 years later it's socially acceptable to look like that.

Certainly Bond was kicking himself for saying that when they escaped in the cello case.
