Jaws (film)/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • A roaring shark?!
  • The moment in the first film when Hooper visits Brody household with some wine as a souvenir. Martin, fed up with the whole shark problem, starts filling his pint with the wine despite Hooper's protests that he should let it breathe. Then he gives Ellen and Hooper the smallest amount imaginable.
    • And it's the red wine, even though they're having fish.
  • "My husband tells me you're in sharks."
  • The vandalization of the Welcome to Amity sign with a spray-painted shark fin and a speech balloon coming from the beach bunny: "Help, shark!"
    • And the hint that these were particularly well-researched vandals, drawing the fin in correct proportion to the woman.
  • When Quint sees the shark cage, he doubts its reliability, saying "you go in the cage. Cage goes in the water. Shark's in the water," then smiles and starts singing "farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies! Farewell and adieu, you ladies of Spain!"
  • At one point Quint crushes a beer can in his hand, and Hooper responds by doing the same thing with a styrofoam cup.
  • "We're gonna need a bigger boat." Even funnier is how the audience knows exactly why Brody is saying that when he finally saw the shark.
  • As Quint and Hooper drunkenly share battle scars from their various shark encounters, Brody looks down at his appendectomy scar and decides to keep quiet.
  • Hooper doing his best to talk some sense into the town Mayor... but the Mayor is more worried about the vandalized billboard covered with shark graffiti.
