37 is the funniest number.
This is borne out in tons of comedy movies. Maybe the best example of this is in <i>Clerks</i>, where there’s a running joke about how Dante’s girlfriend has blown 37 guys, which is supposed to be a lot and makes him feel bad. There’s also a peasant character in <i>Monty Python and the Holy Grail</i> who only exists to make a joke about how he died when he was 37 years old. In <i>Men In Black</i>, there’s a joke about how a week in this other galaxy is 37 hours long. Bill Murray’s character in <i>Stripes</i> is a weakling because his chest is only 37 inches across. There have been 37 members in the band Spinal Tap. The movie <i>My Cousin Vinny</i> starts with the line “This one is 37 cents.”
