Recently we asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us their favorite funny scene in a dramatic show. Here are some of their submissions!
1.On Peaky Blinders, when Tommy gave a whole lecture about how there was to be no fighting, then he fought a server who bumped into him:
"The 'no fucking fighting' scene from Peaky Blinders cracks me up. Then at the end when somebody bumps into Tommy and he (guess what) fights them just makes it even better."
