Sleeping Beauty/Funny
Disney's Sleeping Beauty
- After Prince Philip and Princess Aurora/Briar Rose have met and done their little dance/duet, the way Prince Philip then asked "Who are you?", and in such a casual manner, made this troper practically fall off her chair laughing.
- Her reaction is even better. She sounds so surprised.
- The following exchange between Flora and Fauna:
Fauna: (propping up a sagging 15-layer cake with a broom handle) Well, what do you think of it? |
- The blue-pink color fight between Flora and Merryweather, particularly when Maleficent's pet raven looks in the chimney to investigate the commotion and then gets shot in the face and the rear.
- Plus the part after the aforementioned color fight when Aurora's dress gets turned into a Picasso.
Flora: (to Merryweather) Now look what you've done! |
- This entire scene with the Good Fairies is made of CMOFs.
- Phillip's exchange with his father:
Philip: Now, Father, you're living in the past. This is the fourteenth century! |
- The good fairies stirring their tea with their magic wands. Okay, fine, there's Mundane Utility, but some of the most powerful objects in the world being used in such a matter is just funny.
- Fauna's ditziness is always good for a laugh.
Fauna: (reading recipe for a cake) "Two eggs, fold in gently." ...fold? (shrugs, then folds in two eggs-- shell and all) |
- Her shocked expression when she hears the crunch really sells it. She knows something's wrong.
- And later...
Fauna: Salt, one tsp. (pronounces as "tisp") Tsp? |
- The fairies attempt to make a dress, with Merriweather as the "dummy." It's all in Flora's deadpan delivery:
Merryweather: It looks awful. |
- King Stefen and King Hubert having a drink. And then starting to have a brief argument (complete with Hubert using a fish as a weapon), which quickly dies and replace with laughter. During the scene, the minstrel sneaks a drink for himself a few times, and ends up drunk. By the end, he's passed out under the table, with his head stuck in the guitar. Try to keep a straight face as he snores in that thing!
- It's funny to see how Maleficent's goons just hunted for "a baby" for 16 years.
- When King Hubert sees Phillip and Aurora together at the end and gets so utterly confused, as he'd been told that his son was marrying a peasant girl. He eventually just goes with it.
