I love it when a movie has some really dumb humour, but some deceptively smart jokes as well. Usually tends to show how good "dumb jokes" can only be written by outstandingly smart writers.
Example:
"La Cité de la Peur" (1994) is one of the most iconic French comedies. It has a lot of dumb, crass, surreal jokes in it, on par with movies like Airplane! or The Naked Gun. It's also full of references to the movie industry.
At some point, we see a crowded, agitated theater at the Cannes festival, and all the attendees shout the word "brouhaha" in unison again and again.
My teenage brain didn't think much of it, until years later when I learned that, on french movie sets at least, to make a crowd sound like blurry conversations without having to write any lines, directors used to have everyone say "brouhaha" over and over again (out of sync obviously). Mind blown.
What are some of your favourite smart jokes in movies that could be seen as dumb?
The Street Fighter movie is universally known as a terrible flick with a fantastic performance by Raul Julia chewing scenery as M Bison. He's not responsible for the best joke in the movie though, that goes to Zangief.
There's a scene where the villains are watching a TV broadcast of the heroes who have rigged a truck full of explosives and they realize that the truck is headed in their direction, as it approaches all of the villains stand in stunned silence until Zangief yells
"Quick! Change the channel!"
And everyone stares at him in annoyance. Incredible bit.

It’s not a joke, but Julia has one of the coldest and epic writing and deliveries of a villain anywhere.
*after giving a detailed and mocking recap of when he killed her father*
“I’m sorry, I don’t remember any of it.”
“YOU DON’T REMEMBER?!”
“For you, the day Bison graced your village, was the most important day of your life. But for me……..it was Tuesday.”

Speaking of dubs and translators, one of my favorite localized jokes was in Dragon Ball Z. For context, one of the two most famous chains for cakes here is called Red Ribbon.
So in this one scene, I think it was Bulma's parents who were looking for Goku, and when someone says he's out looking for the Red Ribbon army, she says "Isn't that thoughtful? He went out to buy us cake!"

There's a fantastically subtle joke in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure when Sigmund Freud is trying to hit on the two girls at the San Dimas Mall food court.
He's holding a corn dog in his hand, and at the start of the conversation it is fully upright and erect. But when the girls reject his advances, the very phallic corn dog starts sagging lower and lower and lower.
This is one of those jokes hardly anyone ever catches, and you know the screenwriters must have loved it because it's so perfectly Freudian.

Student bodies. It's a low budget quasi/slasher comedy that doesn't land a lot of punches except when they cut away to a non-sequitur with an executive at a desk who gives this masterpiece of a joke.
Ladies and gentlemen, in order to achieve an "R" rating today, a motion picture must contain full frontal nudity, graphic violence, or an explicit reference to the sex act. Since this film has none of those, and since research has proven that R-rated films are by far the most popular with the moviegoing public, the producers of this motion picture have asked me to take this opportunity to say "F*** you."

Idk if this counts as a smart joke or a dumb movie, but in TMNT (1990), the turtles, April, and Casey Jones are in the sewers and Casey is very uncomfortable.
Donnie: “Ahhh, you’re claustrophobic.”
Casey: “What did you just say? I’ve never even *looked* at another man before!”
It’s kind of stupid because the response from Casey is **so** stupid, but I also think it’s kind of smart because there are layers to it regarding Casey’s fragile masculinity, multiple levels of misunderstanding, and the irony of proving he’s homophobic while denying he’s homosexual in response to thinking he’s being called homophobic.

I completely forgot about that! Great call. To up the smartness a little more, maybe we could torture this enough to get his claustrophobia to say something about his free spirited nature and fear of being metaphorically trapped.
I really, really love that movie.

in the first Naked Gun, Frank Drebin gets off an airplane to find Ed, who tells him his wife has left him. This scene is an almost shot for shot homage to the opening scene of jean Renoir’s French film, The Rules of the Game, which for many years, along with Citizen Kane, was considered by critics the greatest movie of all time.

At the end of "Wild Wild West" (1999) Artie says to Jim: "Mind if I ask you a question?" And Jim says something like: "Actually I do, Artie." The conversation is left unresolved for the audience, and Artie never asks the question; although, I think the question probably has something to do with the fact that they're supposed to be heading back to Washingto D.C... but they're riding into the sunset, which is y'know, the wrong direction.

Dumb and Dumber. When Lloyd is trying to remember Ms. Swanson’s last name.
“Ya know, I don’t really recall. Starts with an ‘S’ though. Slippy, slappy, swammy, swan…Swanson?”
“Maybe it’s on the briefcase.”
“Oh yeah, there it is! Samsonite! I was way off.”
This joke is so brilliant that I genuinely have no idea how the writers came up with it. To tie into the popular briefcase brand “Samsonite” with the character’s name, to have him actually remember it correctly before Harry sidetracks him, etc. It kills me every single time.
