Funniest Scene in a Finance/Business Movie

Hey everyone!

After watching The Big Short this past holiday season, I stumbled across one of the funniest scenes I've seen in a movie, or at least a finance-related movie:

The actual scene is from 1:55-2:32.

This scene was actually in the book too so I was glad they were able to bring it to life on the big screen.

What are the funniest scenes you've seen from business/finance movies? There were at least a couple of other scenes in the Big Short that were pretty hilarious.

Barbarian's at the Gate is sneakily hilarious.

Has to be something from Wolf of Wall Street. I read the books way beforehand and the movie still had me laughing in the theatre. Hell just pick a scene. It's probably funny.
