Can you identity a movie about friends trying to murder each other? [closed]

I was very little when I saw this movie but I haven't seen it since. The plot centers around two friends I believe who keep trying to kill each other. But it was a comedy I believe.

In one particular scene an old lady is yelling at one of them, maybe his mother. Then he turns and hits the guy with a frying pan. I somewhat remember this scene because after it happened, my grandmother started laughing hysterically. It's stuck with me because I remember she was laughing so hard it made me laugh and is definitely a fond memory of mine. The only other thing I remember is at the end I think the guy choked the other one. I'm sorry if this is very vague. I've been really wanting to find this movie because it's such a vivid memory of my grandma laughing that has always stuck with me.

If I had to put a timeframe of the movie I would say I saw it in the late eighties. It was definitely in color and a live action movie. I'm fairly certain it is an American movie also.
