Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (film)/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • "By The Sea". While the song itself isn't all that funny, watch it with the visuals, and it's funny as hell. It appears that Todd doesn't want to kiss Lovett, not even in a dream sequence.
    • Johnny Depp's perfomance as the oh so much stoic Mr. Todd is quite dark in all the film... except in those scenes, his usual quiet stoic nature is in extreme contrast to the cheerful and happy beach and coast scenes. In fact, his pose and attitude barely changes at all, always looking at the space. Stoic Hilarity Ensues.
    • Is it just me, or is Lovett squeeing?
    • YMMV. This troper found it sad as all hell. The man you love doesn't want to be with you, even in a dream sequence.
  • Signor Pirelli. That is all.
    • I'd bet Pirelli only owns the one suit—but there's no question that he does have a spare pair of socks.
