RoboCop/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


For such a dark, violent series, there were a few.

  • Robo bending the party store robber's gun barrel 90 degrees.
  • ED-209 falling down a flight of stairs and throwing a temper tantrum. Helpfully, his programmers taught him to squeal like a pig when he can't get up.
  • The many, many satirical commercials.
  • The hapless would-be robber who tried holding up a donut shop full of cops. The clerk quips, "How's it feel being a rocket scientist?")
  • Blasting the ED-209 outside OCP HQ. Robo walks away from the apparently intact ED-209, the camera gradually zooming out to reveal just the legs staggering around drunkenly for a few moments.
  • Your move, creep!
  • When RoboCop was fighting RoboCop 2, The Old Man shouted "Behave yourselves!!" This troper found it funny because you got one of the most corrupt executives in movie history witnessing a Curb Stomp Battle between two cyborgs armed to the teeth. All he does is discipline them like two bickering children.
    • During said fight, RoboCop blows up RoboCop 2's shoulder mounted cannon. When he does so, it gives a little video game/cartoony sound effect.
  • "Dick...I'm very disappointed."
  • When RoboCop shoots Jones out the window, Johnson jumps up with this huge smile and gives Robo a thumbs up.
  • Johnson's small scale Villainous Breakdown in the third film when all the cops quit is hilarious.

(as cops start filing out) "You can't do this. (more cops walk out) You are employees of OCP, remember that. (most of the cops leave) You are jeopardizing your retirement benefits!"
