He-Man and the Masters of the Universe/Funny: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* In the '02 series episode, "Turnabout," Skeletor is forced to wear a belt that zaps him if he does or even thinks about anything evil. Since he can't just take it off (though he tried; cue an increasingly over-the-top series of [[Groin Attack|groin attacks]]), this leads to him trying to be nice to fool the belt (such as sipping tea and complimenting Evil-Lyn on her nails) while his troops purposely try to make him angry. Then he and his warriors try to turn the tables on He-Man, with a few difficulties.

[to Evil-Lyn] You tell him. }}

* An entire episode of the 2002 series, "The Sweet Smell Of Victory", is devoted to the surprisingly slapsticky origin and rise of Stinkor, a forgotten character from the original toyline whose sole talent is smelling terrible. And making him into ''a credible threat''.

** And the episode fittingly ends with a fart joke... Apparently Skeletor finds flatulence hilarious.

* The 2002 series episode "Of Machines And Men" starts out with Eternia-wide technological problems. This is largely played for laughs, with Man-E-Faces getting stuck between two personas and a background gag of Buzz-Off trying to fix Mekaneck's neck, but nothing beats the Snake Mountain sequence.

'''Evil-Lyn:''' [[Deadpan Snarker|Apparently nothing]].<br />

''[to the side, [[Blind Without'Em|Tri-Clops walks directly into a stalagmite]]]'' }}

* In the generally excrable Christmas special, Skeletor falls under the influence of the holiday, leading to this little exchange:

'''Skeletor:''' (growling in evident frustration) I don't like feeling good. I like feeling ''[[Card-Carrying Villain|evil]]''.<br />

'''He-Man:''' (unable to hide his amusement) Don't worry, Skeletor. Christmas only comes once a year<br />

'''Skeletor:''' Oh, thank badness! }}

** Another hilarious moment comes earlier, as Skeletor is trying to fight the influence of the Christmas Spirit after having just rescued the two Earth children he was delivering to Horde Prime:

'''Skeletor:''' *looks up at the sky and smiles for a moment, before shaking his head and going back to his evil demeanor* Listen, I am not nice, I am not kind, and I am not wonderful! }}

* The Filmation episode ''The Region Of Ice'' is probably the Crowning ''Episode'' Of Funny for the Filmation series, containing a number of CMOFs:

*** When staring into his magical monitor: "The Ice King has done something to my reception in the Ice Mountains! All I get is ''snow!''"

*** And then, when Beastman wanders in after a fight with He-Man, wearing a gigantic cooking pot on his head ([[It Makes Sense in Context]]), Skeletor's only reaction is an annoyed: "Beastman, is this supposed to be funny?!" As if Beastman made a habit of clowning around on the job.

* The 2002 episode ''Second Skin'' has a hilarious scene in which Orko is trying to get information out of a captive General Rattlor... and finally getting him to talk by siccing a giant mongoose on him.

** He-Man, of course, doesn't believe him, and Skeletor decides to keep the thing simply because He-Man wants it. His resolve lasts for all of ten seconds when He-Man's continued blows threaten to bring the tower down.
