Green Lantern: The Animated Series/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • One of the Guardians chastises Hal for punching the viceroy of an alien planet in the face. Hal objects to that, saying he punched him the stomach, then headbutted him in the face.
  • Kilowog explaining what a secret identity is to Rev.

"That thing on his face, it's a mask! He wears it in case some human climbs aboard the Interceptor, while we're in space mind you, and says 'AHA! THE GREEN LANTERN ON MY PLANET IS HAL JORDAN! I'M TELLIN' EVERYONE!'"

    • Him calling it Hal's "hangup" is pretty funny too.
  • Carol points out that "Yeehaw!" doesn't exactly transcribe to on an after-flight report and asks for words. Hal obliges.

"Plane go fast. Very fast. Plane goooood."

  • Hal's failed attempt to get past the Interceptor's security surely qualifies. It involves him making a wobbly construct of Ganthet and poorly imitating his voice. Security isn't fooled.
  • Hal sets a speed record for reciting the Oath:

Inbrightestdayinblackestnightnoevilshallescapemysightletthosewhoworshipevilsmightbewaremypower GREEN LANTERN'S LIGHT!!!

    • More awesome than funny, but the funny's still there.
  • Kilowog noting the improper pronunciation of Aya's name.

Kilowog: That doesn't spell "Aya". It spells "Ai-eeeeeeee"
Hal: But Aya's a pretty name, a pretty name for a pretty girl.

  • When Hal, with a near exhausted power ring, offers to draw off the attacking Red Lanterns.

Killowag: What do you want on your tombstone?
Hal: "He spent the rest of his long life ensuring his ring was fully charged."

    • Appears to be becoming a running theme. In episode 3, after Hal and Kilowog find that their rings aren't working:

Hal: I'm almost 90% sure I charged it this time.

      • Actually has a bit of foreshadowing in the first episode where he mentions he forgets to charge his cell phone.
  • Killowog, Hal and Razer are seated at a table. Hal instructs the others to shake hands. They shake... their fists at each other.

Hal (exasperated): Not like that.

    • This little exchange, on a disabled cargo ship.

Razer: Only insects and vermin hatch from eggs.
Killowog: I hatched from an egg.
Razer: My point exactly.

  • When Aya boasts about how quickly she can assemble her robot body, Hal has this to say:

Any girl who can get ready in less than three seconds has my stamp of approval.

  • Roll call.

Killowog: Aya?
Aya: Present.
Killowog: Razer?
Razer: Hmmph.
Killowog: Jordan?

  • Hal playing Pong with his ring.*
  • Saint Walker, this in particular:

Saint Walker: I am Saint Walker, and you are?
Razer: About to kick your smug rear.
Saint Walker: That is not a very pleasant name. Not in the least.

    • Especially that it's technically a Mood Whiplash, as right before this quote Saint Walker was talking all serious about how the ships crashed due to their doomed goals, and then just becomes all pleasant immediately afterwards.
  • "Uh, Master, permission to cut off Razer's head?"
  • Killowog's reaction to finding out what cheese is.

Killowog: From now on, how about you eat that in a closet or something?

  • Razer gets his ring shut off by the Blue Lantern battery, and the scene with Aya having to rescue him is played like an impotence joke.
  • Literally Getting Crap Past the Radar: "I hate to be the glurg in the punchbowl, but ... "
