What is your favorite acted sneeze?

[geniesong]

This may be in the wrong section, so if it is, sorry about that!

Fake sneezing is a notoriously difficult skill and all of us have seen/heard some really bad and unrealistic ones. However, let us not forget the good ones, the ones that may have fooled you into thinking they were real. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I actually like fake/acted sneezes if they sound real enough.

With all that said, what are some of your favorite, or perhaps the best, acted/faked sneezes you've ever heard? All genders count, and cite your sources if you can! I'll go first:

 

Male. This isn't my favorite sound of sneeze, but I like this primarily because it's frickin Supernatural (whenever I read any form of SPN fic, this is 100% the sneeze my mind refers to for Sam)

 

Male. From 14:18 to 18:24 then skip ahead to 24:30

 

Female. Start from the timestamp until 2:48

 

There's definitely more that are stowed away in my memory, but I'll leave this here for now!

I don't have clips, but:

Meryl Streep's acted sneeze in the movie "Silkwood". Holy fuck. Wouldn't expect any less from her of course, but STILL!

Sela Ward does a couple of decent fakes in the movie "The Stepfather". The movie is crap, but she's hot. 

Julianne Moore acts out a damn good half-stifle off camera in one movie, but I can't remember the title. In the commentary reel she supposedly commented on how hard it was to fake a believable sneeze, too.

I don't have clips either, but even though it isn't perfect it would be Nana Visitor's acted fit in Star Trek: Deep Space nine.

The ones in Murphy's Romance were awesome.

I wouldn't say it was my "favorite" acted sneeze, but the one from Meg Ryan in "You've Got Mail" was so good I still remember it after all those years. Shame only the buildup was shown on camera, but she made it sound so juicy it was lovely. Of course, the whole stuffy scenario of her having a cold was something I liked very much. Too lazy to look for a clip 😅

This changes on the daily honestly, but right now it's this one from Alexandra Chando in As The World Turns. Took me a while to find it, but so glad that I did. One of the true underrated classics!

Times are 13:10, 18:54, and 37:17

Honorable mention to these sneezes from the maid in All My Children, also insanely hot and one of my consistent favourites!

You beat me to it with Meryl. That would have to be the most realistic hands down.

I've always wondered if they were real ones and the director chose to leave them in.

I mean, it is Meryl Streep, so I would have been shocked and dismayed if it hadn't been..

I had that one on VHS (good God I'm old...  ) and I would watch that one scene over and over whenever I was home alone. It was the only movie sneeze I had access to for the longest time, not very into colds and wasn't a fan of Meg Ryan either, but back then, the joy of finding anything that even remotely fit your basic preferences was a treat.

Mine has to be Phoebe Cates in Drop Dead Fred. Not particularly realistic, but she's gorgeous and I have so much nostalgia for that movie. 

 

Another one I like is Melissa Fumero in Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
