Hercules: The Legendary Journeys/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • "One Fowl Day" features Discord as a giant chicken and prompts arguably the definitive version of the old joke ever.

Barnabus: Why did the chicken cross the road?
Autolycus: To kill us all!

  • "For Those Of You Just Joining Us" was full of these moments:
    • Kevin Sorbo pitching how to kill off Iolaus with dignity, recapping "Faith." After the clips are done, we cut back to a bawling production crew.

Jerry: I think I got somethin' in my eyes.

    • Rob Tapert's idea of "Hercules in Ireland:" Hercules dressed in a kilt and playing the bagpipes, while a leprechaun dances at his feet.

Rob: Sometimes, I'm so brilliant it's frightening!
Melissa: Well, ya got it half-right.

    • Ares hits the bottom of Motive Decay, as he reveals what he wants from his do-gooder brother: "Merchandising rights."
    • "Look, everyone, it's Mel Torme!"
    • "You haven't heard the last of me! Wherever there's television, there'll always be B.S.!"
    • The scene where Hercules, posing as Kevin Sorbo, is driving along, when Ares suddenly appears in the car with him, holding a Hercules action figure:

Ares: (high-pitched voice) Oh my god, it's Kevin Sorbo! (bites the action figure's head off) Oh, oh, Momma! Momma! Oh, oh! (tosses the figure out of the car) Oh, the humanity!

"What is with you and animals, anyway?"
"Why, what have you heard?"

"Love Amazon Style".

As a Continuity Nod Iolaus off-handedly asks Hercules if he knows what happened to Salmoneus.

Herc quickly says, "yeah He got arrested for Tax fraud" and they go on with the episode.
