Banned because 37 is objectively the funniest number, this is borne out in tons of comedy movies. Maybe the best example of this is in Clerks, where thereโ€™s a running joke about how Danteโ€™s girlfriend has blown 37 guys, which is supposed to be a lot and makes him feel bad. Thereโ€™s also a peasant character in Monty Python and the Holy Grail who only exists to make a joke about how he died when he was 37 years old. In Men In Black, thereโ€™s a joke about how a week in this other galaxy is 37 hours long. Bill Murrayโ€™s character in Stripes is a weakling because his chest is only 37 inches across. There have been 37 members in the band Spinal Tap. The movie My Cousin Vinny starts with the line โ€œThis one is 37 cents.โ€ย There are many other examples, but this is a hard thing to research. There are also a bunch of uses in serious movies like Cool Hand Luke, Phenomenon, Pulp Fiction, and Casablanca. The band Punchline, which is not a comedy band even though they have a joke-related name, made an album all about the number 37. And there are websites just listing tons of examples in all kinds of movies, TV shows, songs, books, etc. In my experience, 37 is also a go-to โ€œfunnyโ€ number in real life, where youโ€™ll hear people say stuff like โ€œI have like 37 bed bug bitesโ€ or โ€œI heard Sting can have sex for like 37 hoursโ€ or โ€œthere are like 37 people in this elevator.โ€
