Shrek/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

** Puss and Donkey's cover of "Thank You (Falletinme Be Mice Elf Again)" in the third movie.

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: The Pied Piper and Rumpelstiltskin in the fourth movie.

** Puss in Boots is a more traditional example. He even got his own spinoff movie!

* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Farquaad chose Shrek's swamp for his [[Fantastic Ghetto]] because he knew there was an ogre there and decided it's easier to move every other fairy tale creature to his place rather than taking pains to move ''him'' anywhere else.

* [[Genius Bonus]] / [[Parental Bonus]]: Panicked citizens run right out of one Farbucks...[[Lewis Black|and into another Farbucks directly across the street]].

Line 26:

Line 27:

** I LOVE YOU DADDY!

* [[Memetic Sex God]]: In-universe, Puss.

** Shrek also becomes one once he consumes one of Fairy Godmother's potions and transforms into a handsome man. His first scene while transformed even has a group of women fawning over him!

* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Seen in the flashback in the alternate-universe when Rumpelstiltskin {{spoiler|is shown completing the deal with Fiona's parents to make "their problems go away", doing so by making ''them'' go away.}} That would have also happened if {{spoiler|the messenger had arrived a few seconds later}} at the beginning of the movie, but we don't know that at the time. When we see {{spoiler|the king and queen's looks of indescribable horror as they realize they're being erased from existence}}, Rumpelstiltskin crosses the line from just a simple trickster who wanted to rule the kingdom into utterly, irredeemably evil.

** Don't forget the scene {{spoiler|where he summons a council of witches where he first starts out as a loving patron, scolds them about letting Shrek escape and finally ''snaps'' into rage, killing one of them on screen by pouring water onto her. [[I'm Melting|We all know what]] [[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz|water does to witches...]] }} That just doesn't mark him evil, but a batshit insane [[Axe Crazy]].

** Lord Farquaad is mostly a pompous asshole with a mean streak for most of the first movie, but he really crosses the line during the film's climax whenever {{spoiler|he sees Fiona's ogre form. He freaks out and orders for Fiona to be dragged back to her tower and locked up for life while having his knights Haul off Shrek to be executed. Thankfully, he gets his whenever Dragon crashes in and devours him.}}

** {{spoiler|By threatening Shrek's life and then Fiona's freedom, Lord Farquaad was pretty much asking for his [[Just Desserts]] (courtesy of Dragon).}}

** Heck, the first thing he does in the film is have the poor Gingerbread Man waterboarded in milk as an interrogation technique.

** The Fairy Godmother could be seen as a [[Jerkass]] [[Knight Templar]] at first...up until {{spoiler|she decides to use a potion to make Fiona fall in love with Prince Charming}}.

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Shrek's roar. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S01rd0G9peM Video here.]

Line 35:

Line 36:

** Or {{spoiler|Rumplestiltkin's falling into an eternal void...}}

** Hell, Rumplestiltkin himself!

** The dream that Shrek has after he "wakes up" from his other dream ~~Shrek~~ 3.

** The dream that Shrek has after he "wakes up" from his other dream in the third movie.

*** '''DA DA.'''

** The DVD menus for ''Shrek the Third'', especially the main menu. A bunch of curtains open, a bunch of fake clouds descend on THOUSANDS of strings (looking eerily like marionettes), and all you see is the blank, gloomy-looking, huge and [[Uncanny Valley|not quite real-looking]] stage where Charming's play takes place. No characters, no voiceovers, just that enormous and clearly artificial stage, engulfed in darkness, with sinister music playing in the background. The submenus (for extras, language selection, etc.) sort of subvert this by having some of the main characters present, but the huge menu titles meant to look like suspended stage props are still kinda creepy.
