I think this is my favourite joke from any movie. Sally Field in PUNCHLINE:

Lilah Krytsick: Hello, my name is Lilah Krytsick, and on our wedding night, my husband gave me something very long and hard... a new name.
[audience bursts into laughter]

It doesn't look so funny written, but it absolutely cracked me up in the theatre.
