The Oscars have arrived, with a night of glitz, partying, and just the right level of madness to keep it interesting. While Hollywood's finest come together to celebrate the year's best films, the internet is already abuzz capturing moments that will forever live on in memes.

From surprise moments to accidental humor, the evening again demonstrated that while the Oscars celebrate cinema, they also offer some first-class entertainment 'in real-time.'

With celebrities dressed to the nines (or to the bare minimum in a couple of cases), the red carpet alone gave the internet all the material it would need for a lifetime. Meanwhile, acceptance speeches are being given, awards handed out, and at least someone is probably also pretending to smile for the award winner.

Naturally, no Oscars night would be complete without a couple of moments that left everyone wondering, 'Was that scripted?' or 'Did that just occur?'

Let us walk you through some of the funniest moments of Oscars 2025!

Here are 15 funniest Oscars 2025 moments that will leave you in stitches


1) Kieran Culkin beating Jeremy Strong for an Oscar is the funniest thing ever (Via X/ @8M11Rod)

Kieran Culkin beating out Jeremy Strong is like the 'definition' of a Succession plot twist. Off in the distance, Logan Roy is nodding his head in approval while Kendall glares longingly into space.


2) The Chalamet- Conor monologue! (Via X/ @esteco0)

Conan O'Brien and Timothée Chalamet taking the stage together was the Oscars couple we didn't know we were missing. Conan telling jokes while Chalamet remained there wearing his butter-yellow tuxedo suit, all-in in the joke, was like a comedy bit that found itself included in the ceremony.


3) Adam Sandler's outfit (Via X/ @kirawontmiss)

Adam Sandler's Oscars look was the ultimate demonstration that he has his rules when it comes to fashion. While the rest of us were dripping with couture, he arrived appearing as though he was only there to pick up his mail - and for some reason, it totally worked.


4) Typical Kieran Culkin moment (Via X/ @lindsay_kusiak)

Kieran Culkin collecting an award is becoming its own category of comedy. From effortlessly roasting himself, gently embarrassing his wife (in the best possible way), and giving speeches that sound like a masterfully improvised sitcom scene, he's showing us that receiving awards can be just as humorous as it is serious.


5) Conan's most funniest moment (Via X/ @ITllImikelIllI)

Conan O'Brien singing "I Won't Waste Time" with a Dune sandworm and Dancepool from Deadpool & Wolverine was the sort of crazy spectacle only the Oscars could provide. Seeing a late-night icon sing a tune while standing alongside a giant sci-fi worm and a breakdancing superhero was like a fever dream - and yet, it was also 'somehow' the most coherent segment of the evening.


6) Ariana Grande wears a unique Schiaparelli dress for Oscars 2025 (Via X/ @sofibuteraa)

Ariana Grande laughing at all the people who desperately wished she would throw away the bun was the ultimate power move. She listened to the internet's entreaties, pondered them for exactly 'zero' seconds, and showed up with her signature hair anyway—because some things, such as gravity and Ariana's bun, are just non-negotiable.


7) Halle Berry kissed Adrien Brody (Via X/ @Variety)

Halle Berry going up to Adrien Brody and kissing him on the red carpet at the Oscars, 22 years later, was a Hollywood flashback we didn't know we needed. It was as if the Oscars themselves were speaking to us and saying, Remember this? and instantly, it seemed like time had just circled back for one more unforgettable moment.


8) Fans trolled Whoopi Goldberg's reflective blue dress (Via X/ @RazeAxiom)

Whoopi Goldberg's thoughtful blue evening gown at the 2025 Oscars left the internet in stitches with netizens hurrying to compare it to a vinyl-wrapped tire. The gown literally glowed in the lights, leaving everyone wondering whether she was going to roll off the red carpet or win Best Dressed in a new whole category - most likely to be spotted in a car showroom.


9) Yasmin Finney's Oscars 2025 look (Via X/ @AISynPro)

Yasmin Finney's Oscars 2025 gown left everyone questioning whether or not her gown came with eyelash extenders, given its voluminous, feathery look. The gown was so dramatic and full of volume that it almost seemed as though it were about to bat its eyelashes at the camera. Honestly, if fashion could be considered a beauty treatment, this gown would be the perfect lash extension!


10) Conan O'Brien's funniest entry (Via X/ @DiscussingFilm)

Conan O'Brien bursting out of Demi Moore's back to begin hosting the Oscars was the sort of dreamlike moment only Hollywood could provide. It was as if the telecast was saying, Who needs a conventional entrance when you can have a comedian bursting out of a movie star's back?


11) Timothee Chalamet's buttery ensemble (Via X/ @PopBase)

Timothée Chalamet's butter-colored yellow outfit at the Oscars left everyone wondering if the red carpet had become a high-fashion dairy farm. In his Givenchy suit and coordinating shirt, he wasn't merely dressed for the event - he was literally radiating like a slab of freshly spread butter on a warm croissant.


12) Bowen Yang's costume (Via X/ @FilmUpdates)

Bowen Yang appearing in a Wicked costume to give out Best Costume Design had the internet going wild with memes quicker than you could say "defying gravity." Fans immediately referred to him as the true winner of the evening, with some joking he was there to audition for the part of Best Dressed.


13) Karla Sofia joke (Via X/ @notgwendalupe)

Conan's punch about Karla Sofía Gascón left everybody speechless, demonstrating once more that he could make any instant comedy gold. Karla's response? Worth its weight in gold, as she'd suddenly realized she was given the century's punchline.


14) Karla Sofía Gascón after that Conan O'Brien joke (Via X/ @kylermcd)

Karla Sofía Gascón's response to Conan O'Brien's joke was unforgettable as if she had watched a masterclass in comedy while it happened. Her shocked face did all the talking - sometimes the best humor comes when you don't expect it!


15) CHALAMEEET! (Via X/ @QuidVacuo)

Adam Sandler's over-the-top "CHALAMETTT!" was the sort of thing that got every one of us to stop in our tracks, and then crack up.


And voilà, the Oscars 2025 provided us with all that we didn't even know we wanted - enchanting entrances, unfiltered fashion statements, and impromptu outbursts of humor. From Conan's crazy stunts, Bowen Yang's Wicked appearance, and Adam Sandler screaming CHALAMETTT! as if it were a new Olympic sport, this year's ceremony was more like a comedy special than a formal affair.

Who knew Hollywood could be so hilarious? The take-home lesson here: never overestimate the Oscars, for they are always about to shock you - usually at a laugh (or ten) or two.
