Sorry but this thread reminded me of the FUNNIEST birthday party scenes. In Parenthood, Steve Martin promises that Cowboy Gil will attend his 9 year old son's BD party but when he's a no-show, Marin dresses up like the Cowboy, complete with the rubber-bottomed bathroom carpet mat for knee britches.
And then he has to viciously bludgeon the pinata to get the candy out. Oh too funny.
(At least funnier than the BD scene in The Omen].
