Top 5: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson Funniest Movie Moments

At this point, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson may be the most popular man in America. He's got a popular T.V. Show, is a box office titan in multiple genres, and could very well run for President with Tom Hanks as his running mate in 2020...and win. But perhaps the most underrated element of Johnson's appeal isn't his physique but his sense of humor. So since Johnson is about to hit theaters again, and hopefully will bring the laughs, in Baywatch here are five of Johnson's funniest movie moments.

Honorable Mentions: Johnson's cameo roles in Reno 911: Miami, The Other Guys are both phenomenal but not substantial, and the odd couple comedy pairing of Sean William Scott and Johnson in The Rundown is certainly amusing but Johnson is playing the straight man role there.

#5 The Prison from The Fate of the Furious

This movie is still in theaters, but the cartoon absurdity and one two punch of Johnson's imposing Hobbs combined with Jason Statham's British scrapper Shaw make the most entertaining scenes in the entire movie. Initially separated by cells, the former cop and criminal exchange barbs (while Johnson does bicep curls with a rock bench that was attach to the wall) before an apparent jailbreak. With hell breaking loose all around them, Johnson tears through guards and inmates like mild irritants including beanbag rounds that bounce of his chest. It's so silly and so awesome.

#4 Office Chaos from Central Intelligence

No scene captures Bob Stone's (Johnson) inability to read the room and the situation than his evasion from federal forces in Calvin Joyner's (Kevin Hart) office. Beset by C.I.A. agents that believe Stone is going rogue and Joyner is his accomplice, the mismatched duo work towards opposing goals (Stone to escape and Joyner to escape Stone) in a furious firefight. It's the action/movie version of what happens when your kinda friend can't read your social cues and it's tons of fun.

#3 Stapler Incident from Get Smart

The straight-laced delivery is what sells this moment. Sidelined due to a blown identity, Johnson's Agent 23 is put on office duty...and make take it a bit too seriously. When he confronts a coworker about a jammed printer, the coworker laughs off his demeanor, until a staple gets lodged into his head. It's a simple physical joke, but Johnson's stone faced reaction to the entire incident is what sells it.

#2 "You're Welcome" from Moana

Johnson's Maui is almost the antithesis of his public persona, minus the braggadocio and muscles, and that's perfectly exemplified by his introductory song. Believing Moana has come to give him praise for his past deeds and save him, Maui begins a self-congratulatory diddy detailing his many accomplishments, before not so stealthily attempting to steal Moana's boat. There's been critics of The Rock's singing voice, but this is easily one of the funniest and bounciest Disney songs in the modern era. 

#1 Conversion & Interrogation from Pain & Gain

The Rock rarely gets a chance to play someone unhinged, lead hero roles typically don't allow for it, so seeing Johnson as a coked out Jesus freak in this Michael Bay dark comedy is easily one of the my favorite things ever. The scene is question is essentially a monologue as Johnson's Paul Doyle interrogates and attempts to convert his bound and gagged prisoner. The wild mood swings and lines like "Jesus Christ himself has blessed me with many gifts! One of them is knocking someone the fuck out!" make this the hardest I've laughed at Johnson onscreen.
