Land of Oz/Funny


 * The Marvelous Land of Oz

""Here I am," she called, "and don't be worried, because I'm perfectly all right, only I'm locked in this play room, and I can't get out!" "For heavens sakes, jump! I'll catch you!" the Cowardly Lion promised recklessly. "I can't -- they've taken my dress away to wash! What's more, that Nannie is coming in a minute to give me a shampoo and a bath whether I want it or not! It's perfec'ly infuriating!""
 * In Merry-Go-Round in Oz, Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion (along with travel companions Prince Gules, Fess the Unicorn, Fred the Horse and Fess the Flittermouse) stumble upon "Good Children's Land," a Sugar Bowl that Tastes Like Diabetes even by Oz standards, where the population consists entirely of infuriatingly Good Children (who love doing as they're told, delight in eating all their vegetables, think "Ring Around the Rosie" is a naughty and rough game because it might get their hands dirty, and sometimes lapse into Baby Talk) and their strict Nannies. They find the children charming for about twenty seconds, after which they get increasingly frustrated and disturbed by their behavior.
 * When they discover that Dorothy's dress has gotten a little stained on her journey, the shocked children more or less abduct her and take her to the Nannies. When the Cowardly Lion finds her again, she's locked up in the Nursery and calls to him from a second-story window:


 * When the heroes try to escape later on to avoid a fate filled with parsnips and mashed carrots, they are all but mobbed by Good Children and Nannies who insist that they can't possibly leave now, because it's Naptime! This is when the Cowardly Lion uncharacteristically flips out, roaring "It's not my naptime!" and frightening the infuriating Good Children and Nannies away—probably marking the only time in the series when refusing to take a nap resulted in a Crowning Moment of Awesome.
