Love Fargo. An incredible movie. Lots of funny stuff in it. But not the first thing that comes to mind when I think "comedy." (Or even "Coen brothers comedy.")

You'd have the same problem searching for a scene from _any_ animated movie. (Which, admittedly, is a similar oversight in the best comedies of the 21st century list that we put together way back when.)
