To honor the release of 'Live Free Or Die Hard,' we simply couldn't resist compiling this list of the Ten (Accidentally) Funniest Trailers in movie history:

10. Take The Lead (2006)

Moment the Theater Breaks Out Laughing: 0:24 - Ghetto kid with a heart of gold subtlely hints at the premise, 'So nobody told you we were the school rejects?'

9. Walking Tall (2004)

8. The Pacifier (2005)



Gist: Vin Diesel may be a Navy SEAL, but no SEAL training could prepare him for the bodily functions of Red Baby!
