The Big Lebowski has one (actually, two) of my absolute favorite joke setup and payoffs of all time.

The setup is The Dude nailing the 2x4 into the floor to prop up the chair to stop the door from opening. First payoff is when he fails to remember that the door opens outwards so as soon as he’s finished, they barge in and open the door from the outside toppling the chair over and rendering the board useless.

Not only that, but later on in the movie when he comes back from behind arrested at Jackie Treehorn’s place, he trips on the board coming in the door. Fucking hilarious.

One of the greatest comedies of all time.
