Top 10 Funny Sex and the City Moments

New York City: A city full of love, laughter, and flyers of Richard Wright’s cheating mug. Join MsMojo as we count down our picks for the Top 10 Funny Moments in Sex and the City.

For this list, we’ll be reliving the more lighthearted TV moments involving Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes, Charlotte York, and Samantha Jones. From the men, the friendships, and, of course, the shopping, we’re slipping on our best pair of Manolo Blahniks and raising a cosmo to the ladies of the city.

There are a lot of things that can go wrong when it comes to sex. He can move like a jackrabbit. You can fart. You can throw a shoe at his head. Or... you can be caught having sex in Carrie Fisher’s house. After meeting Keith Travers at a movie premiere, Carrie is swept away by his good looks and glamorous lifestyle. But it turns out Keith is a big ol’ liar, so much so that the house he claims to live in belongs to Princess Leia herself. Word of advice: if Vince Vaughn tells you that he’s Matt Damon’s agent, don’t believe him.

It’s probably not a good sign if you vomit at the thought of marriage. But maybe, in this case, the nausea was due to the hideous ring. While having lunch with the ladies, Carrie drops a bombshell: Aiden has no idea what a good ring is... oh, and he wants to get married. Seriously though, pear shaped? Gold band? Ick! The worst part? Miranda helped pick it. Your boyfriend not knowing your taste is one thing, but your best friend? We suppose it’s alright since Miranda had to deal with a late night proposal from Steve, the bartender armed with the very same ring. Payback’s a bitch.

We understand that some people have traditional views on sex and relationships. We can respect that. That being said... the Virgin Mary does not belong in the goodie drawer. Of course, we all came to love Magda as the series progressed, but her rearrangement of Miranda’s dishware, her inclusion of a rolling pin, the tea, and the Virgin Mary were all signs of an alien creature bursting into our comfort zone. Fortunately, Miranda was able to set her straight, and a silent peace treaty was struck between the two when Magda left a beautiful arrangement of condoms in that all-important drawer.

Sometimes, you get in such an intense argument with a friend that you throw your neck out. Or maybe that’s just Miranda. After Charlotte calls and accuses her of being too judgmental about her decision to quit working, Miranda dries her hair a little too aggressively. She calls Carrie for help, but to her utter humiliation, Carrie sends Aidan to save the day instead of showing up herself. This leads to a freaked out Miranda gripping her bathroom rug for dear life as Aidan lifts her off the ground. At least she gets bagels... oh, never mind.

Perhaps it was the jazz, or maybe it was his charm, but at the end of the first season Samantha Jones fell in love, something so shocking that it sent Charlotte running to a psychic for advice. We waited with baited breath for the big moment with James, but sadly, there was nothing big about... it. We expected things to end after Samantha’s three-inch breakdown in the women’s bathroom, but surprisingly, she stuck it out long enough to try couple’s counseling, which went about as well as you’d expect. What can we say? Sometimes, you need a big one. But not too big.

In some cases, it’s flattering when two handsome men fight over you, especially if it comes down to mud wrestling. The grunting. The dirt. The fact that they can throw their backs out. Actually, mud brawls are more dangerous than sexy when those men are past a certain point in their lives. In a moment dubbed Batman versus the Green Hornet -- with Big being the Caped Crusader and Aidan being the “Green Bee,” as Carrie mislabeled him -- the past and present loves of Ms. Bradshaw duked it out at Aidan’s cabin. Fortunately, the fight ended with a dog bite to Batman’s ass, and the two men called a truce.

Michele from “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion” may have invented post-its, but Jack Berger invented the worst way to use them. We could tell, as the episodes of season six went on, that Jack and Carrie weren’t going to make it. But we didn’t expect him to end things in such a tacky way. Carrie decides to try and make the most of the day, which leads her to go off on his friends in the middle of a club and get arrested for “smoking a doobie.” In the end, she at least has a banana split to share with her closest friends.

The moment has finally arrived: the boyfriend is moving in! And... it sucks. Carrie’s apartment is cluttered with Aidan’s stuff, which is making his rustic charm wear thin, but he proves that he isn’t a pod person by revealing his own irritation. Then he asks the unthinkable: for Carrie to make room in her closet. Most shows would depict Carrie as unreasonable for her hesitation, but we discover that Aidan has his own “odd” single man possessions, like his beloved shoebox of deodorants. The moral of the story? Moving in with a significant other is a huge change for women and men.

Charlotte has had some pretty bad luck with men. There was the guy who couldn’t kiss. The doctor who fell asleep. And the husband who couldn’t get it up. For this entry, we’ll be talking about that doctor, because it leads to a rather marvelous place: the tantric sex workshop. Much like Carrie, Samantha, and Miranda, we had our doubts, especially with the inclusion of a live demonstration. As the session continues, we begin to see the benefits of “going tantric,” but no one reaps the orgasmic rewards more than Miranda. Lesson of the day? Always have Kleenex on hand when “going tantric.”

Before we get intimate with our number one pick, let’s raise a glass to these honorable mentions:

- “Now Put Your Pants On and Go... Is That O.K.?”

- “Today, I Am a Woman”

- The Funky Spunk

- “Not If You Mount It”

- The Tea Bag Situation

- Annabelle Bronstein

When Margaret Cho tells you to be in a fashion show, you damn well better walk that runway… otherwise, she might skin you alive and have one of the models wear you. With those words -- and some temptation from Dolce & Gabbana -- Carrie Bradshaw is well on her way to becoming a fashion model. Even Heidi Klum thinks she looks fabulous. Too bad those big gal shoes fail the trust exercise and Carrie trips on the runway, leaving her to be, well, we think Stanford says it best. But that’s the thing about strong women: when they fall, they get right back up and move forward.
