Team America: World Police/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The oh, so epic pep-talk in the bar. 'nuff said.
  • "Gary, you're the only one with the pow--" "I DONT WANT THE FUCKING POWER!"
  • "Don't worry! Everything is 'bon'! We've stopped the terrorists!" (French citizens look around at the burning remains of their city)
  • When everyone is trying to disguise Gary as an Arab terrorist, they accomplish this by just gluing a whole bunch of hair to his face.
    • Even funnier, as prior to it, there's an entire sequence of Gary getting operated on and undergoing a rather complicated facial surgery, which makes the end result even more funnier.
  • Gary's entire speech in the end, about "Dicks, Pussies, and Assholes..."
  • "Your acting skills are diminishing with age, Ms. Sarandon."
  • "I promise I will never die."
  • In one blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment during the dogfight between Team America and Korean aircraft, one of the shots of Spottswoode shows him strafing on his chair upside-down.
  • "I'm gonna cut off your fucking balls and shove them up your ass so that next time you shit, you'll shit on your balls!
  • Kim Jong-Il dumping Hans Blix into the shark tank: "How do you like that, you cock sucking motherfucker!? You want an inspection? Well inspect that you butt fucking piece of shit!". Right before that, there was Hans' "threat" to Kim Jong-Il.

Hans: I must be firm. Let me inspect all of your palace, or else!
Kim: Or else what?
Hans: Or else... we will be very, very angry with you, and we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are.

  • Puppet sex. That is all.
  • The Vomit scene. I can never make it through that scene without nearly suffocating from laughter.
  • Gary hopping aboard the flying limo for the first time:

Gary: A flying limo? Now I've seen everything.
Spottswoode: Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
Gary: No.
Spottswoode: Then you haven't see everything!

  • Special mention for the "Giant panthers" which are actually two normal sized, playful kittens. Not even angry kittens, just two normal kittens, padding about, made to look huge because the puppets are so small. Beats Night of the Lepus giant rabbits for the coveted "Least threatening giant monster animal" award.
  • I'm so ronery...
  • Spottswoode giving Gary a weapon to kill himself in case of capture... which turns out to be a hammer. A small one.
  • The kung fu scene involving Chris and a terrorist.
    • Every single one of the "fight scenes" qualify, since it literally just consists of the two puppets flailing their arms at one another while the intense soundtrack booms in the background.
  • MAATTT DAAAAAMONNN!!!
  • "Team America has once again pissed off the entire world after blowing up half of Cairo."
  • I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E: "Our base was attacked by a giant socialist weasel."
  • And this

Spotswood: There's no-one else to stop Kim Jong-Il!
Gary: Let me go.
Spotswood: You? You're a butt-fucking quitter!

  • While the scene where The Team gets ambushed by North Koreans and terrorists from Durka-Durkastan is not exactly funny, this particular line had thist troper chuckling: "We have no I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E.! Repeat, we have no I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E.!"
  • The montage song.
  • Tim Robbin's explanation as to why Team America and "the corporations" are bad.

Tim Robbins: Let me explain to you how this works: you see, the corporations finance Team America, and then Team America goes out... and the corporations sit there in their... in their corporation buildings, and... and, and see, they're all corporation-y... and they make money.

  • Childish, but: "In an ideal future, we solve problems and dispose of dangerous people with words, not violence. That is the F.A.G. way! [...] They'll look back and say, 'Wow, way to go FAG. You really made the world a better place, didn't you FAG?'"
  • "Derka Derka, Mohammed Jihad." AKA the entire Arabic language.
