In The Importance of Being Earnest, a scene that stands out to me comedic wise would be the opening scene with the cucumber sandwiches. In this scene Earnest reaches for a cucumber sandwich when Algernon declares they are for his Aunt Lady Bracknell and they must be saved for her. Later on it is Algernon himself who eats the cucumber sandwiches absent-mindedly. In this scene Wilde is poking fun at the things we place importance on, for example manners and cucumber sandwiches.
My favorite form of modern technology are vines. They are videos no longer than six seconds that are usually making fun of someone or something. The fact that I can laugh hysterically at something that is only six seconds long makes me think that there has to be some true talent hidden in them.
