Finding Nemo/Funny

Dory
"Dory: (in whalespeak) Come baa-aaa-aaa-ack-ack..."
 * Dory speaking "whale."
 * It works.
 * And when the whale is swimming farther away:

"Dory: Didn't it sound a little like orca? Marlin: NO, IT SOUNDS LIKE NOTHING I'VE EVER HEARD BEFORE!!"
 * How can you not mention the different dialects? Those were pure gold.

"Mine!"
 * "Wow, I wish I could speak whale."
 * "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, what do we do we swim, swim, swim..."
 * "Oh, look! Krill!"
 * The seagulls and their one-track mind.

"Crab: Yeah, I saw him, Bluey, but I'm not telling you where he went, and there's no way you're gonna make me. (Cut to Dory holding the Crab out of water for the seagulls to see)
 * When Dory tries go get information from a crabby crab:

Seagull: Mine?

Other Seagulls: Mine! Mine!

Crab: AHH! All right! I'll talk! I'll talk!"

"Dory: See, I suffer from short-term memory loss. Marlin: Short. Term. Memory loss... I don't believe this. Dory: Yeah, I forget things almost instantly. It runs in my family... at least, I think it does... hm, where are they? [pause] Can I help you?"
 * Not only is their portrayal dead-on, but it's also funny as hell. Doubly so for the end of the chase sequence where the stupid birds get stuck in the sail. "Minemineminemineminemineminemineminemine!" indeed.
 * Special CMOF points to Disney for putting animatronic seagulls outside the Living Seas exhibit when they integrated Finding Nemo into it.
 * You can actually hear the "Why me?" in Marlin's tone during this scene:

"Marlin: Dory, do you see anything? Dory: Ahhhh! Something's got me! Marlin: That was me; I'm sorry. Dory: (gasp) Who's that?! Marlin: "Who's that?" Who could it be? It's me! Dory: Are...are you my conscience? Marlin: Yeah, yeah, I'm your conscience. We haven't spoken for a while. How are you? Dory: Mmm, can't complain. Marlin: Eh, good. Now, Dory I want you to tell me...do you see anything? Dory: I see a...I see a light. Marlin: A light? Dory: Yeah, over there. Hey conscience, am I dead?"
 * "I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my Squishy. Come here, Squishy!"
 * The scene when Marlin and Dory enter the dark part of the ocean:

"Marlin: I'm gonna be your beeest friend - Good feelings gone."
 * And then when they find and are entranced by the floating light...which turns out to be the glowing illicium of a hungry anglerfish.
 * Marlin's reaction to that discovery still kills this troper.

""Careful with that hammer... sea monkey has my money...Yes I'm a natural blue...""
 * "Hey, look. "Es-ca-pay". I wonder what that means? That's funny, it's spelled just like the word "escape."
 * "No eating here tonight; you on a DIIIIIET!"
 * Dory talking in her sleep.


 * Dory singing completely happily "Just keep swimming...just keep swimming" when she's stuck in the net with the other fish who are swimming down and repeatedly saying "KEEP SWIMMING!"
 * Marlin goes from crowing, "The clownfish is the winner!" to Oh Crap when he realizes Dory didn't make it out of the jellyfish forest. He swims as fast as he can back into it to find her, and finds her in the tentacled embrace of one. Grabbing her away, Marlin tries to find a way out-- and Dory, barely conscious, murmurs about their game, "Am I disqualified?" Even though it's a tense moment, that kills me every time.

Everything else
"Lee: Well, in that case [10 seconds of Sound Effect Bleep]"
 * "I'M GONNA TOUCH THE BUTT!"
 * On the DVD Commentary, Andrew Stanton (Director) is being mocked for all the voices he did for the movie (Crush, the seagulls, and others). He comments that there was no way that part was going to make it onto the disc (which it did).

"Peach: It's morning everyone! Today's the day! The sun is shining, the tank is clean, and we are getting outta- /gasp/ The tank is clean. THE TANK IS CLEAN!!"
 * Or how about...

"Bloat: IF! You are able to swim through... the RING... of FIRE!!
 * "Curse you Aquascum!!!"
 * SHARKBAIT, HOO HA HA.
 * "Enough with the sharkbait."
 * "SHARKBAIT! HOO... ba-ba-doo."
 * "That's not a duck, it's a-- PELICAN!!"

(dead silence)

Bloat (muttering): Turn on the ring of fire. The ring of fire! You said you could do it--

(Jacques turns on the volcano)

Bloat: THERINGOFFIRE!!"

""THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE'S nothin' to see here! Gather! Uh... over there!""
 * Turtles are funny.
 * Deb introducing Nemo to her twin sister Flo (actually her reflection in the glass tank).
 * "Blah-blah-blah, me-me-blah, blah-blah-blah-blah, me-me-me!"
 * The very very very end of the closing credits,
 * During Darla's visit to the dentist when everything's going nuts, and the reaction of the people in the waiting room.
 * "I'M OBNOXIOUS!"
 * Mr. Ray, the overly-cheerful kindergarten teacher who is just a tad too into the material, singing constantly, even to the parents. During the fight between Marlin and Nemo, the mood is ruined for the audience when Mr. Ray tries to get the other children not to look!

""Fish are friends, not food!""
 * I've always found it funny that none of the children in his classroom ever take him up on his offer to, "Come on, sing with me!"
 * "OH MY GOSTH! NEMO'TH THWIMMING OUT TA' STHEEE!!!"
 * "False alarm." (in the fullscreen version, we actually see the female patient's legs)
 * Mr. Ray blanketing all the little fish kids with his body and saying, "Oh! I wonder where my class has gone?"
 * Marlin and Dory are being guided by Bruce through a foreboding part of the ocean filled with mines. He takes them into the submarine, where two of his friends are delighted to see him-- "We've already gone through the snacks, and we're still starving!" Marlin gasps and closes his eyes, figuring those sharks will be the the last thing he ever sees-- and then ring the bell, we're in the middle of an AA meeting!

"Bloat: You have been called forth to the summit of "Wannahachalougie""
 * No one mentions the name of the Mountain Tank Ornament

"Dory: What is it with men and asking for directions? Marlin: I don't want to play the gender card right now. You wanna play a card? Let's play the "not die" card."
 * Marlin refuses to let Dory ask a whale for directions to Sydney out of fear that it will eat them. It does, but they get better.

"You let 'im go!! *bop on head* HEY!! 'EYYYYYYY!!"
 * "Well, good thing I pulled the right one, eh Prime Minister?"
 * The crabs. The hilarious crabs.
 * When Nemo pops out of the sewer vent:

""Ooooo-HI-YAH!!" *plops into water* [pause] "MINE?""
 * When Nigel throws his crab back to the seagulls:

"Bruce, Anchor and Chum: (after Marlin denies having a problem) Denial."


 * Just the way they say that gets me every time.
