Shrek 2/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The bit near the beginning as Shrek, Fiona and Donkey are traveling to Far Far Away, and near the end, Donkey complains of boredom. Shrek retaliates his "Are we there yet?" by mimicking him, and after suggesting he find some way to entertain himself, Donkey makes popping sounds. The last pop causes Shrek to go berserk.
  • The exact dialogue escapes me but when Shrek and Fiona arrive at Far Far Away, first the shock of the crowd upon seeing Fiona as an ogre is hilarious, and then Shrek and Fiona, and King Harold and Queen Lillian have a rapid overlapping dialogue sequence.
    • Don't forget the part where a passing dove sees Shrek and Fiona and gawks at them before flying straight into the wall and landing at Harold and Lillian's feet...
      • And then a lone baby starts crying offscreen.
  • Another sequence of funny is Shrek and Harold being extremely unpleasant to each other over dinner. Meanwhile Lillian and Donkey are, by contrast, trying to make polite conversation and being very friendly, and poor Fiona is stuck in the middle of it all.
  • This loses something in writing, but early in the film, when the King and Queens messengers arrive at the swamp, dozens of buglers line up and play a typical fanfare as the messenger strolls through the centre of them. The fanfare ends, but for one guy who goes off into a trumpet solo of the Hawaii Five-0 theme. The messenger whacks him over the head with the scroll and says, completely deadpan,

Messenger: Enough, Reggie.

  • The following...

Fiona: "Shrek!"
Donkey: "Fiona! That potion worked on you too!"
Fiona: "What potion?"
Donkey: "Well, you see, it's a long story. But me and Shrek drank this magic potion, and now well, we're sexy!"
Fiona: "Shrek?"
Puss: *Licking himself* *Turns around* "For you baby, I could be."

  • When Shrek, Donkey, and Puss In Boots are in the dungeon:

Donkey: "What about my Miranda rights? You're supposed to say, "You have the right to remain silent." Nobody said I have the right to remain silent! "
Shrek: "Donkey, you have the right to remain silent. What you lack is the capacity."

  • Pinocchio wearing ladies underwear, a thong to be exact. That is all.
  • Puss In Boots following seeing a touching moment between Shrek and Fiona. "Whatever happens: I must not cry. You cannot make me cry."
  • At the beginning Fiona throwing the mermaid kissing Shrek back into the ocean and Shrek doing the Bridal Carry to Fiona smashing her into the doorframe.
  • Donkey describing the saddest night of his life, "... And then they all got drunk, and started hitting me with sticks, yelling out 'Pinata! Pinata!' What is a pinata anyway?"
  • The three girls who discover the newly human Shrek dramatically gasp (and smile) when Donkey says "First we need to get you out of those clothes."
  • Donkey accidentally nailing Shrek in the groin.
  • "MAMA?!?"
