Earlier this week, The Sports Guy listed his official scale of unintentional comedy. We thought our readers should have a say in the slapstick scale, so we opened it up for discussion.

We received more than 2,000 letters about what makes you laugh, here's a sample of our favorites.

	Exploiting the "sexual symbolism" of Dennis' dome makes for high UC.

Any Michael Irvin outfit. Dennis Franz -- sex symbol. The Manziere. Ron Popeil, "Set it and forget it!"
Eric Sawyer
Lynnwood, Wash.

The Sly Stallone epic arm wrestling movie "Over the Top". The soundtrack! Guys drinking motor oil. Sly's kid trying to drive a semi. "Flipping the switch." Robert Logia. C'mon, it's a movie about arm wrestling for goodness sake!
Kyle
Carbondale, Ill.

Kevin Mitchell getting injured while eating a cupcake. Danny Tanner, Uncle Jesse and Joey Gladstone. Janikowski.
Pete

Jim Mora's famous press conference last season when he delivered the "playoff speech."

	"Oh yeah, James Brown, I guess I've heard of him."

MTV Music Awards this year, and during the opening stage act James Brown makes a surprise appearance on stage. Quick cut to Anna Kournikova and Enrique Inglesias just in time to see Anna lean over and very clearly ask, "Who is that?" Enrique answers, and she responds with a nod and one of those "Oh. I still don't know how that is," looks.

Yao Ming's awkward high-five.
Tory Leggio
Lenexa, Kan.

Sammy Sosa's 50 pounds of muscle because he "had a tooth removed." Denny Hocking's celebratory hand injury. Karate Kid: Daniel has spaghetti spilled on him ... Ali's parents' county clubbers break into hysterics.

Ardmore, Pa.

For the definition of a perfect 100 on the UCR, I'd have to recommend a 1971 slasher movie called "Blood Freak," we rented last Halloween. It's a right-wing/biker/horror flick about a guy who mutates into a blood sucking turkey. No I am not making this up! My local video store had it in the "Psychotronic" section under "Cannibalism." I have never laughed so hard in my life.

Jeff Van Gundy riding Alonzo Mourning's leg like a pony.

When Tom Cruise throws Goose's dog tags at the end of "Top Gun". You either rank it as a perfect 100 on the UCS, or it completely ruins the movie for you when you realize Maverick throws like a girl.
Chris Ingstad
Davenport, Iowa

Vic Tayback's "double thumbs-up."
Phil Soto-Ortiz
Fairfield, Conn.

Puck, Teck, and Ruthie.

	Dubya always seems to make us laugh.

Bill Cowher on the sidelines. George Bush's 1992 projectile vomit into the lap of the Japanese Prime Minister at a state dinner. Sally Field's "You really like me!" speech at the Oscars. Theo Fleury's meant-to-be-mocking "chicken dance." Mike Schmidt's retirement announcement breakdown. Any ABC after-school special. Anthony Perkins in "Fear Strikes Out." The FLOWBEE. Bill Clinton's face when they asked him about the cigar. Tommy Lasorda's fall.

Robert Conrad losing a foot race to Gabe Kaplan in "The Battle of the Network Stars" -- Come to think of it: "The Battle of the Network Stars." The guy who tried to sue McDonald's for making him fat. Al kissing Tipper at the Democratic National Convention. Circus Peanuts.
Mitch Wertlieb

The newfound religious evangelism of Deion, Michael Irving, and ... R. Kelly

The King of Unintentional Comedy is Jean Claude Van Damme. He pulled off one of the most amazing UCR careers in the history of the world, consider ... The scene in "Kickboxer" when Van Damme gets drunk and starts dancing with the two girls in the Thai village bar ... the three or four times he tries to say 'fancy clothes and black silk underwear' with a tough-guy voice in "Double Impact" ... every second of "Bloodsport" ... the scene in "Hard Target" where he attempts to surf on his motorcycle.

Just to throw another one in, how about any time Kevin Willis fails to grab a rebound, prompting the game's analyst to point out that Willis has two of the shortest arms in the league.

	We hope it kept him warm, because it sure didn't earn Al any style points.

Scott Hamilton. 7th Heaven (or the WB in general). Old Jim Gray interviews. Jason Giambi's deodorant commercial.

Not sure how much airplay this got outside of Min. but the video of Randy Moss being released from jail. Not only was it hysterical, but it raised a few questions for me and my brother: 1) How long before the phrase "What'd I just tell you, woman?" catches on? 2) If you were Moss's lawyer, wouldn't you make damn sure you were there to pick him up from jail? 3) If Moss is so lightning fast, why didn't he just take off running?

"Balki Bartokomous" of sitcom "Perfect Strangers" fame (aka, Bronson Pinchot) in Stephen King's "The Langoliers." I'm just glad Balki managed to find work. He can also be spotted in Risky Business and Beverly Hills Cop. My favorite That Guy.
Alex

Iverson's mom.

The Al Michaels interview with Bo Jackson at halftime of MNF about a month ago. When Bo, nearly in tears, got past the "uplifting" (but really painful) stuff about his "successful business ventures," he let a nugget slip out that many people may have missed. "I'm also starting a staffing company, where we take people who need jobs, and find jobs. For them."
Jason English Atlanta

Christopher Lowell.

Rod Beck picking up his gum after it fell out of his mouth. The glasses worn by the Angels Bullpen. Little League World Series managers. John Gruden's forced angry expression (I am glad that the camera catches every time "Chucky" is not pleased.)

Paul Harvey. Dukakis in the tank during the '88 presidential campaign. Jerry Lewis emotes during the Labor Day Telethon. Any Steven Seagal performance since he turned Doughboy. Yoda becomes a ball of Muppet fury in Star Wars Episode 2.

"Booger" from Revenge of the Nerds and "Charles" from Better Off Dead in any serious role on Lifetime.

Last year after a Lakers game, Kiki Vandeweghe was the guest host on Inside the NBA. They interviewed Shaq via-satellite, but apparently Shaq didn't have a TV to see what was going on back in the studio. During the interview, one of the guys says, "So Shaq, we've got one of the greats with us tonight, Kiki Vandeweghe." And Shaq, dead serious, with his eyes roaming back and forth, says, "Yea, who?"

So the guy says, "Shaq, surely you know Kiki ..."

Shaq responds, "No, who's that?"

The uncomfortable laughter that was going on in the studio was one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed. Then, Kiki, trying to make amends, says, "Oh come on Shaq, you remember me ... from Big-Man camp?" Shaq's eyes just bulge with embarrassment. "Oh, yea ... shoot, Kiki, yea, I remember now."

The Bachelor and those magical words: "Ladies ... Aaron ...(insert dramatic pause here), there's only one rose left."
Joey Cuzzolina

Lyle Lovett and Julia Roberts. Gus Frerotte head-butting the wall. Mike McMahon -- backup receiver for the Lions. Joni loves Chachi. Scott Baio's career. Jim Rome calling Jim Everett Chris. The cartoon "Prostars." The strip club scene in "Rounders." Nick Nolte's mugshot. Dominique's flat-top. Kris Cross attempts to return in the late '90s. All things Donny Wahlberg. Al Pacino getting hit on by Elizabeth Berkley in "Any Given Sunday." The random sex scene in HBO's "Band of Brothers." Xena Warior Princess. Frank Thomas' baseball card where he's flipping off the camera.
