The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy/Funny: Difference between revisions

'''Hitchiker:''' Frogstar scout robot class C looking for you.

'''Zaphod:''' [[Tempting Fate|Hey, pretty stupid robots eh?]]<br />

'''Zaphod:''' Holy photon, what's that?<br />

'''Hitchiker:''' A tank. Frogstar scout robot class D come to get you. }}

 

 

 

* This little exchange:

* "Vell, Zaphod's just zis guy, you know?"

 

 

* The illustration that pops up when the Guide says, "Most leading theologians claim that this argument is a load of '''dingo's kidneys'''..."

 

 

 

* Oh sweet Jesus, everything. Just in the first few pages there's the bit about the word 'bulldozer' going through Arthur's head, Arthur in the mud, Genghis Khan, putting a bag over your head when the world is ending . . . trying to describe it all would barely be shorter than simply posting the entire thing.

"No. That's where it all falls down, of course." }}

 

 

* In the second book, The Heart of Gold was {{spoiler|being attacked by a Vogon ship and they couldn't move because the ship computer was too busy trying to make tea. The force-shield started blistering and cracking under the sudden, unexpected attack. Ford thought it would probably hold for about four minutes...}}

* The first thing that hit their eyes was what appeared to be a coffin. [pause] And the next four thousand nine hundred ninety-nine things that hit their eyes were also coffins.

 

 

* I found the whole "Eddies in the space-time continuum." confusion to be hilarious, for some reason.

** Not to mention the fact that it is the punch line of the funniest [[Brick Joke]] in literature.

 

* The old lady on the plane, looking on as Arthur and Fenchurch join the mile-high club in the most unconventional way possible.

** [[Brick Joke|They sit next to her on their return flight from L.A.]] She asks them if they fly much.

 

* Arthur and Ford catching up in the woods. [http://www.angelfire.com/ca3/tomsnyder/hg-5-18.html The entire scene].

* Ford delibrately running up huge expenses as a restaurant critic, culminating in trying to charge the purchase of London Zoo and the entire hotel he is staying in to room service.

 

 

* Whatever else you may have to say about [[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy/And Another Thing|And Another Thing]], most of the business with the cows desperate to be eaten were pretty funny, especially the "I'll track down your entire family and not eat them!" bit.

 

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbGNcoB2Y4I The trailer.] It's simply the in-universe's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's entry on "movie trailers", providing an example and [[Lampshade Hanging|a running commentary on the key elements]] including the usage of [[In a World]], [[Stuff Blowing Up]] and [[Fan Service]]. [[No Fourth Wall|Guess which film it uses as an example.]]

* "Ford?" "Yes?" "I think I'm a sofa." "I know how you feel."
