Top 10 Hilarious Tasering Scenes in Movies

Like shooting fish in a barrel… only instead of a gun, it’s a taser, and instead of a barrel, it’s an entire lake of man-eating piranha that just woke up to an all you can eat buffet. When the piranhas start to attack the swimmers, Sheriff Forester plans to take down all the fish at once by shooting her taser into the lake. Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite work out and she only takes down a single fish, but it was a valiant effort. At least we learned that a fish will explode if shot with a taser.

Sometimes we do crazy things for love, or stupid things to impress a really hot girl. All Sam wants is a chicken burrito and Alex Hopper is on the case. He breaks into a closed minimart “Mission: Impossible”-style to get the precious burrito. Unfortunately, the police don’t appreciate the all-important quest and go after him. Hopper heroically fights on through the pain of two tasers to complete his mission. The burrito was more trouble than Hopper bargained for, but the smile Sam gives him definitely makes it worthwhile.

When a family get-together ends in disaster, Greg and his father take off to catch Jack in order to make things right. Unfortunately for them, they meet Deputy Sheriff Vern LeFlore, who takes the law very, very seriously. When Greg starts running while pulled over, LeFlore brings out his taser of justice and fires away, and even makes sure to explain to Gregg what’s going on in his body as he continues to zap him. Then Jack comes to their rescue only to get tasered himself. Oddly enough, though, it turns out to be the perfect bonding experience for Jack and his soon-to-be son-in-law.

Peter Quill, aka Star Lord, has a sentimental attachment to his music, so when he sees a prison guard listening to it, he gets a little upset. Despite the fact that he’s in handcuffs, and at the mercy of the guards, he tries to get his Walkman back and gets tased for his trouble. This is arguably the most brutal scene on our list, but that doesn’t mean it can’t score a few laughs in the process. He may have loved the song before, but he’ll probably have slightly different feelings toward it after this… no one is hooked on that kind of feeling.

When you’re a mall cop, it’s easy to feel undervalued and powerless. You have to deal with petty punks, driving around in a golf cart, and only being armed with a taser and mace. When Ronnie gets the chance to tase a complete jerk, he takes advantage of it and thoroughly enjoys it. Some may call this a power trip, but Ronnie might call it therapeutic. He teaches this guy that there are worse things than getting a boot on your car… like 50,000 volts of electricity coursing through your body.

The taser: silent, quick, and effective, basically a modern day ninja tool. In order to get an ancient Transformer, our heroes must infiltrate a museum and the taser is their weapon of choice. It gets them into the museum just fine, but Leo, who didn't want to use the tasers in the first place, trips and tases himself right in the nuts. Seymour finds him a few minutes later, still twitching and understandably worried about the state of his manhood. And if you think that’s the only testicle-related joke in the movie, don’t forget that Michael Bay directed this.

Dave is a calm and quiet person who doesn’t like to come out of his shell, but in a situation like this, even he can’t stay calm. What Dave doesn’t know is that this is a setup by his girlfriend and Dr. Buddy Rydell to crack his shell. What Dave does know is he still hasn’t gotten his headphones, he is being told repeatedly to stay calm, and he is feeling anything but calm. When he reaches his breaking point, an air marshal, who isn’t part of the plan, doesn’t take kindly to his tone and tases poor Dave, making him wriggle in his seat as he utters some interesting noises.

There are a few things you shouldn’t do to your boss… like don’t have sex with his daughter and definitely don’t brag about said sex, because retribution will be swift and painful. Unfortunately for Schmidt, he does just that while undercover at a college… and he wasn’t aware that Captain Dickson’s daughter attended that college until it was too late. His partner, Jenko, definitely doesn’t help matters when he announces what Schmidt did to everyone at 22 Jump Street… Schmidt does try to protect himself with a Kevlar vest, but it turns out that he was protecting all the wrong areas.

If you’ve ever wondered just how powerful a taser is, just remember that it can take down a god. Thor wasn’t exactly at his best, though. His father had just stripped him of his powers, taken away his hammer, and banished him to earth. Just when he thinks his day can’t get any worse, he chooses the wrong earthling to mess with. Darcy is armed with a taser and is not afraid to use it, and Thor is acting a little too crazy for her taste. Like most people, Thor has some tough words for the taser until it hits him and he drops like a sack of potatoes.

After a blackout night in Vegas, Phil, Stu, and Alan run around breaking the law and end up in the slammer. To avoid spending the weekend in jail, the guys agree to participate in a stun gun demonstration for a classroom of children. The children are very eager to shock the trio and Officer Franklin encourages them to aim for the most sensitive body parts. Alan gets it the worst since he kicked Franklin earlier, and gets tased directly in the face. Director Todd Phillips wanted to use a real taser for the scene but, luckily for the actors, the studio lawyers essentially said “hell no” to that idea.
