Avatar (film)/Funny

"Quaritch: Oh you gotta be kidding me."
 * "[I am] A warrior. Of the...Jarhead clan."
 * Shortly afterwards: "Jarhead clan? And it worked?"
 * Quaritch:
 * More Quaritch, when he realizes that the Na'vi are attacking his gunship with bows and arrows.

"Ripley: How many drops is this for you, lieutenant? Gorman: Thirty eight...simulated. Vasquez: How many combat drops? Gorman: Uh, two. Including this one. Drake: Shit.
 * Jake: Neytiri calls me "skxawng". It means "moron".
 * When asked how many hours he'd logged in the piloting simulator: "Zip, but I read a manual."
 * Which is a callback to a similar CMoF in Aliens:

Hudson: Oh, man..."

"Grace: "How much lab experience do you have?" Jake: "I dissected a frog once.""
 * Also:

"Grace: "Just relax and let your mind go blank. That shouldn't be too hard for you." Sully: "Kiss the darkest part of my lily-white (gets cut off).""
 * When first controlling his avatar, Jake's tail surprises him when he notices it over his shoulder. When he turns around to look for his tail, it knocks medical supplies off a table.
 * This exchange between Grace and Sully while the latter is first entering his chamber:

"Tsu'tey: "You mated with this woman?!" Grace: "Oh, shit.""
 * For a serious character, Grace gets more of these than you'd expect:

"Grace: I need to get some samples..."
 * If you know any scientists, this line is hilarious. Grace is carried, mortally wounded and half-conscious, to the Tree of Souls that she had been wanting to research for years:

"Grace: They're just pissing on us without even giving us the courtesy of calling it rain."
 * Grace's indignation at Jake not being experienced anywhere in science can be hilarious.

"Sam Worthington: Jake should have abused his avatar and be fat and unfit and demand Neytiri to get him a beer.*"
 * Crowning Moment of Funny? Reportedly, Sam Worthington, Jake's actor, emailed Entertainment Weekly with his own ideas for a sequel:

"Jake: These rock. What are they? Ney'tiri: Teylu. Jake: Teylu? Neytiri: You call [it] beetle larvae. Beat Jake: Well, that's some damn fine Teylu. Just like Grandma's Teylu."
 * A hilarious moment from the deleted scenes of the collector's edition: Jake wakes up from his Avatar and goes looking for the others (Grace is outside) and he turns a corner, and Trudy and Norm appear to be in the middle of a lovemaking session. Then Jake's voice over crowns the funny "Norm's attitude has improved lately."
 * An even more hilarious moment from the deleted scenes occurs during the meal at the campfire:

"Jake: Hell yeah! Neytiri: (who has no idea what it means) Hell yeah!"
 * The Sturmbeest Hunt had this gem of an exchange:

"Grace: Those trees were sacred to the Omaticaya in a way you can't imagine. Parker: Oh, you know what, you throw a stick in the air around here, it's gonna land on some sacred fern for Christ's sake!"
 * Parker Selfridge's reaction to being lectured by Grace (presumably for the umpteenth time) about having just bulldozed something holy is hilarious.

"Grace: That's more connections than the human brain. You get it? It's a network — a global network. And the Na'vi can access it — they can upload and download data — memories — at sites like the one you just destroyed. Parker: What the HELL have you people been smoking out there? They're just goddamn trees!"
 * Likewise, Parkers retort to Graces lecture after bulldozing the Tree of Voices

"Moat: It is hard to fill a cup that is already full. Jake: My cup is empty. Trust me."
 * Jake convincing the Na'vi to teach him.
