Sex scenes in movies always run the risk of being very hokey and embarrassing, leaving people cringing behind their hands as they watch through the scene. Sometimes, they are a necessity for a movie, with a romantic movie for instance, but other times they are purely added for comedic effect.

This is always a risky decision, mainly because of how easy it is to get wrong. Sex scenes in movies can either be absolutely brilliant or a complete and utter mess.

Over time there have been some interesting scenes, some that have gone well and others that have fallen flat. However, for this list, we will be focusing on 10 sex scenes that were much funnier than originally expected.

Bridesmaids

Watchmen

Sex Tape

"My wife, instant boner-giver." For that line alone, this sex scene was hilarious, but when you name your movie Sex Tape the pressure really is on to deliver in these situations. Unlike other examples on this list, it is incredibly obvious going in that there will be some sex scenes in this one.

As a married couple of 10 years, the main characters are trying to spice up their love lives, and it is hilarious to see it unfold. From trying to talk each other up throughout to high fives before they begin, it is just the perfect awkward everyday couple at its finest.

Team America: World Police

There is just something hilarious about seeing two dolls having sex during a feature film. Everything about Team America: World Police was hilarious, with the creators taking these fun children's toys to totally different levels of adult humor.

However, the sex scene, in particular, is fantastic. The whole thing is done to a seriously graphic level, taking it way beyond what is normally done, but of course, they are still just plastic figures.

Whether that makes it better or worse is for you to decide. Either way, this is a very funny scene, taking the classic childhood moment of making Barbie and Ken kiss to a whole new world.

Wanderlust

Anytime you have Paul Rudd involved in a comedic moment of any situation you know it is going to be great. But when you make it an awkward sex encounter, you know it is going to be fantastic, and the mirror scene in Wanderlust does just that.

This isn't actually a full-blown sex scene, it is more the build-up and foreplay part of the deed. With Rudd's character needing to psych himself up before the big act, he stands in front of a mirror and comes out with some of the most hilarious lines of all time.

Rudd does an amazing job of improvising here as he just keeps coming out with line after line. Eventually making it to the bedroom, the comedy just continues in what is quite a lengthy, but hilarious scene.

Superbad

Teen coming-of-age movies tend to always wind up creating some form of sex scene at some stage. After all, that tends to be the major plot point of those films, and Superbad is no different in that regard. While they go through some twists and turns to get there, eventually the three main characters land at the party that they're expecting to be one of the best nights of their lives.

In the end, it is only Evan and Fogell/McLovin who gets the opportunity, and in dual scenes, everything goes wrong. While Evan ends up nearly being puked on, McLovin just doesn't have a clue what he is doing, and it creates some hilariously awkward moments that are just hilarious to watch.

MacGruber

At the start of the list, we mentioned Kristen Wiig's incredible sex scene performance in Bridesmaids, but her scene in MacGruber takes things to new heights. Taking place with Will Forte, the entire scene is packed with hilarious moments.

Starting with MacGruber whispering, "I like holes," to the shots of oiled torsos and tons of candles, the entire thing parodies sex scenes amazingly. It isn't meant to be a serious or overly romantic scene and is designed to be as funny possible, and thankfully they nailed it.

Trainwreck

There was a lot of hype about the sex scene during Trainwreck, and people weren't sure what to expect from it before the movie was released. At the time, John Cena was only just starting his move from WWE into Hollywood and a lot of people were skeptical about him.

However, it really was his performance in Trainwreck, and this sex scene in particular, that really highlighted how good his comic timing is. While the entire movie is brilliant, this ended up being the scene that everyone was talking about afterwards.

The scene involves Cena and Amy Schumer and is obviously all about Cena's incredible physique. Everyone heads into the scene expecting it to be an amazing moment, but it ends up being hilarious due to the dirty talk Cena gives all the way through.

American Pie

The pie in American Pie.

When it comes to the ultimate ridiculous yet absolutely hilarious sex scene in a movie, American Pie takes the top prize. One of the most legendary films in the teen-comedy genre, the American Pie franchise was a total game-changer for cinema and was an unbelievable success.

While you might have wondered why the movie was titled 'American Pie,' that quickly becomes clear when Jim sees an apple pie sat on the kitchen table of his home. Left alone and desperately wanting some hands-on experience, Jim goes to town on the pie.

Having sex with an apple pie is something that could so easily have been terrible, yet somehow the movie got it spot on. With Jim's father catching him halfway through the act, the entire thing just turns into comedy gold
