The 3 scenes in Mid Summer Night's Dream that are the funniest are 5.1, 3.1, and 3.2 because they make people laugh and they entertain people. In Act 5 Scene 1, the crowd thinks the bumbling idiocy is deliberate. It was hilarious when Peter Quince had to scream all the actors parts because they had forgotten them. In Act 3 Scene 1, Bottom's head is turned into a donkey! It was funny when everyone got scared of him and ran away. Also, Titania fell in love with him due to a love potion. Finally, in Act 3 Scene 2, Demetrius, Helena, Hermia, and Lysander are chasing each other in the woods, all competing for love. Shakespeare demonstrates a bunch of funny scenes that make people laugh.

The three funniest scenes in A Midsummer Nights Dream are Act 5 Scene 1, Act 1 Scene 2 and Act 4 Scene 2. Act 4 Scene 2 was a very funny scene because the Rude Mechanicals won't stop talking about how amazinng Bottom is at acting. They think they cannot put on their "amazing" play without him and think he should be rich because of his acting skills. Act 1 Scene 2 was really funny because every time that Peter Quince tries to tell people what to do, Bottom interrupts him and acts as if he is the leader. Quince gets really annoyed when all of the Rude Mechanicals listen to him. Act 5 Scene 1 is the funniest scene in the play because the Rude Mechanicals are chosen to put on thir play for the wedding. Their play is so terrible it's funny. Also, they use a lantern as the moon and a human as a wall which just adds to the humor. The Rude Mechanicals are the source of the humor in this play. They make it one of Shakespeare's funniest plays. That is why I think those three scenes are the funniest scenes in A Midsummer Nights Dream.
