Fantastic Mr. Fox/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • This:

Bean: That's just weak songwriting. You wrote a bad song, Petey!

    • Even funnier when you remember that Petey is voiced by Jarvis Cocker.
  • "Petey, bring us a ladder please."
  • Apple juice... Apple juice flood...
  • Mr. Fox eating his pancakes.
  • The scene where Mr. Fox and Kylie drive the tiny motorcycle and sidecar from behind the regular-sized one had this Troper rolling on the floor.
  • Mrs. Fox has some pretty good ones. Most notably:

"If what I think is happening
is happening
it better not be."

      • It really does need three full lines to get the whole effect.
  • ---> Mrs. Fox: I'm going to lose my temper now.

Mr. Fox: ... When?
Mrs. Fox: Right now.
Mr. Fox: Well when- *slap*

  • ---> Ash: I'm sick.

Mrs. Fox: You're not sick.
Ash: I have a temperature.
Mrs. Fox: You don't have a temperature.
Ash: I don't want to go.
Mrs. Fox: Hurry up, you're going to be late.
Ash: *growls but complies*
Mr. Fox: I love the way you handled that.

  • I just love the delivery of "What the cuss? Where'd this giant fence come from, we had a master plan!"
  • "Why is he wearing that bandit hat?" "His ears were cold."
