You know how they say "show, don't tell". Well sometimes you need to imply, not show. The Hangover was many people's favorite comedy last year. (I dunno why. They had some great ideas and then proceeded to make the dumbest movie possible out of them.) But that scene where they woke up in the morning and found the tiger and baby and stuff was way funnier than the marsupialed end credits where they showed the pictures of what actually happened.

Time lapse of him going through every single vending machine's change place getting quarters.

Offering to help a neighbors load in laundry at those coin washes and everytime the neighbor tries to load clothes into the laundromat the dude takes a quarter from his roll of quarters.

Show a pile of black-and-white photocopies of a $20, guy sprays one with hair spray, sticks it in a laundromat change machine, change pours out.

Pimply-faced young guy with name tag with not his name ("Tony") is told by McDonald's manager "Tony, you start on the cash register," manager walks out of frame, guy opens register, scoops up money, walks away.

Blizzard, guy bundled up holding snow shovel offers to shovel out a car for a nicely-dressed apartment dweller, takes $20, car owner walks out of frame, guy throws down shovel and walks away.

Guy is dragged down the street while trying to walk a St. Bernard.

Guy is holding baby wearing nothing but diaper, picks baby up from his lap, lap is wet.

Guy is wearing a dumbass generic work uniform filling up his car at one of those old-timey full-serve stations, rich jerk drives up, hands guy $20, says "Fill it up...uh, where's the head?" Guy points, jerk walks out of frame. Guy pockets $20 and gets in his car.
