Wright wrote all three scripts with Simon Pegg, who starred in each movie with Nick Frost, and they filled the trilogy with hysterical one-liners, classic visual jokes, and a handful of fan-favorite running gags. Shaun of the Dead has a scene in which an undead pub landlord is beaten with pool cues to the sounds of Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now.” Hot Fuzz has a scene in which Nicholas and Danny have to chase down an escaped swan. The World’s End culminates in a drunken Gary King arguing with the A.I. commander of a robot army. The Cornetto movies are full of quotable lines and memorable gags.

20 Throwing Records At Zombies In Shaun Of The Dead

When a couple of zombies wander into Shaun and Ed’s back garden, they come up with a novel way to fight them off. They grab Shaun’s record collection and flick through the records to pick out the ones that Shaun doesn’t mind losing (the Batman soundtrack, for example). After identifying the expendable records, they frisbee them at the zombies’ heads. When that fails, they break into the shed and grab a cricket bat and a shovel. But before that, they had fun with the vinyl toss. This scene instantly establishes Shaun of the Dead’s absurdist take on zombie action.

19 The Translation Scene In Hot Fuzz

When Nicholas and Danny investigate a farm where the farmer has a deactivated sea mine and an arsenal of guns that could equip a small army, Nicholas needs two layers of translation to understand the farmer’s thick country accent. He needs Bob to translate the farmer and he needs Danny to translate Bob. This scene is a hilarious examination of speech. Danny and the other locals can understand the Sandford accent just fine, but it’s incomprehensible to outsiders like Nicholas (and the majority of the audience).

18 "To Err Is Human, So... Err" (The World's End)

In the big finale of The World’s End, the A.I. in charge of the robots – simply called “The Network” – tries and fails to argue with a drunken Gary King. After repeating the old adage, “To err is human,” Gary follows its advice and simply says, “Err!” The Network gets so frustrated in its futile argument with Gary that it decides to spare humanity and leave Earth alone. Gary’s stubbornness, which drove his friends crazy, ironically ends up saving the world.

17 Shaun Walks To The Shop

Wright often uses the camera to deliver a joke, and that’s on full display in Shaun of the Dead. Early on in the movie, Shaun is seen walking to and from the corner shop on a normal day in an elaborate tracking shot. After the zombie outbreak, the exact same tracking shot is replicated with a ton of blood and death in the background – but Shaun is too hungover to notice. The horrors of a zombie-infested world are hilariously juxtaposed with Shaun’s utter obliviousness for one of the Cornetto trilogy’s funniest moments.

16 Nicholas Checks IDs In Hot Fuzz

When Nicholas first arrives in Sandford after being transferred from London in Hot Fuzz, he starts cleaning up the crime-ridden streets before he’s even officially ed the town’s police force. While drinking at the local pub, he notices all the patrons seem underage. There’s a great montage of Nicholas going around the bar and checking IDs, with some of the film’s funniest dialogue (“What’s your birthday?” “22nd of February.” “What year?” “Every year!” “Get out!”). After Nicholas has cleared the underage drinkers out of the bar, he’s the only customer left, and he’s just drinking cranberry juice, so the pub landlord is a little miffed.

15 Eating Peanuts In The Dark In Shaun Of The Dead

While the other survivors wait for Shaun to return to the Winchester with a plan, David jokes that Shaun’s plan won’t involve anything more than sitting around and eating peanuts in the dark. When Shaun finally returns with his grand plan, lo and behold, that’s exactly what it is. Cut to: everyone sitting in the dark as Shaun asks, “Would anyone like a peanut?” Liz’s point still stands, though. Shaun may not have the best plans, but at least he’s thinking of something while all David can do is complain and criticize.

14 "Nobody Tells Me Nothin'!" (Hot Fuzz)

Bill Bailey has a hilarious dual role in Hot Fuzz as Sergeants Turner, the twin brothers who work as desk sergeants at the Sandford police station. Every time somebody asks one of these desk sergeants for information, he simply tells them, “Nobody tells me nothin’!” It’s a good one-liner on its own, but it also hints at the secrecy surrounding the Neighborhood Watch Alliance and their murders. Only a comedic genius like Bailey could make the same line just as funny on every delivery throughout the movie.

13 Trying To Name The Robots In The World's End

After determining that they’re being hunted down by an army of robots in The World’s End, the so-called Five Musketeers try to come up with a name for the robots, so they can refer to them without having to use the word “robot” around a bunch of prying robots. They come up with such ridiculous names as “nobots,” “fauxbots,” “blue bloods,” and the funniest of the bunch, “smashy-smashy egg men,” before settling on the name they use for the rest of the film: “blanks.”

12 The Shortest Car Chase Of All Time In Hot Fuzz

The middle act of Hot Fuzz features the shortest car chase in movie history. Nicholas spots a motorist speeding, he puts the siren on and pursues them, the speeding motorist pulls over to the side of the road, and Nicholas stops the car. Danny, having never seen any action during his police career, is thrilled by the brief pursuit: “That... was... brilliant!” There are some great straightforward action scenes in Hot Fuzz, but this is a perfect example of a subversive set-piece played for laughs.

11 Gary King Tries To Finish His Pint During A Bar Brawl In The World's End

The bar brawl in The World’s End is one of Wright’s most intricately staged action scenes. The camera swoops around the pub as Gary’s friends desperately try to fend off the attacking blanks. Gary himself is just trying to finish his pint. Every time he goes to take a sip, he’s attacked by a couple of blanks and the drink is knocked out of his hand. Just when he gets a second to polish off his pint, Gary is knocked down and the pint spills everywhere, at which point he yells out, “Motherf***er!” This is one of the best sight gags in the Cornetto trilogy.
