The Incredibles/Funny
- The scene where Frozone is looking for his super suit.
"Honey! Where's my super-suit?" |
- Every single thing the kid on the tricycle says. Special points to this one:
Kid: That was totally wicked! |
- Mr. Incredible's and Frozone's argument during the fire, after Frozone fails to convince him to go bowling instead of rescuing civilians:
Mr. Incredible: Can't you put this out? |
- And before that, their Lampshading of the tendency of bad guys to monologue.
Frozone: So, now I'm in real trouble. One more blast of this death ray and I'm an epitaph. Somehow, I manage to find cover, and what does Baron von Ruthless do? |
- Which turns into a Brick Joke in a later scene between Mr. Incredible and Syndrome.
Syndrome: Now you respect me, because I'm a threat. Turns out there are a lot of people who want respect, and they'll pay through the nose to get it. How do you think I got rich? I invented weapons, and now I have a weapon only I can control and- [gets cut off as Mr. Incredible throws a tree trunk at him. He dodges and freezes Mr. Incredible in place.] You sly dog! You got me monologuing, I can't believe... [chuckles] |
- The montage of heroes who had... bad luck with capes.
Edna: NO CAPES! |
- Edna Mode.
Helen: (through teeth) You know... Elastigirl? |
- "Edna Mode." <WCHACK> (BFG pops out of the ceiling and tracks Helen's head) "And guest." <WCHUNK> (BFG goes away)
- "...and call me when you get back, darling, I enjoy our visits."
- "My God, you've gotten fat."
- The best part about that line is that it comes after Bob's big work-out-slim-down montage.
- "...and machine-washable, dahling, that's a new feature."
- Edna hitting Helen with a rolled up newspaper while saying "My God, pull. Yourself. Together!"
- After the action opening sequence with Bomb Voyage:
Police Officer: Wait, you mean you didn't catch him? |
- And who could forget?
Bomb Voyage: Et ton costume est complètement ridicule! |
- Plus this family exchange:
Violet: The only normal one is Jack-Jack, and he's not even toilet-trained! |
- "Elastigirl? You married Elastigirl?" (laughs, then looks at the kids) "Oh, and got BIZZAY!"
- Mr. Incredible's and Frozones Riff Trax to their cartoon short:
Mr. Incredible: I was told it was a new process! |
- And the first appearance of Frozone...
Frozone: Wait, is that me? I'm white...they made me a white guy?! |
- Later...
Frozone: Oh, oh, oh, I get caught. The black superhero gets caught. |
- And then...
Frozone: DID YOU OKAY THE RABBIT?! |
- "The rabbit is cuddly! Kids like little, cuddly sidekicks. I mean... the rabbit... it's a time tested... okay, the rabbit bites."
- After escaping the volcano, the kids spend the night out in the jungle. In the morning, Dash wakes up first...and realizes with disgust that he's cuddled up with Violet in his sleep.
- Don't put your hands on the roof of your car. Especially when you have super-strength.
- The guards in the mobile van that the family steals are watching a TV with the Omnidroid destroying Metroville, while sipping a bottle of champagne.
"Alright, every time they run, we take a shot!" |
- Bob and Helen arguing over which exit to take when the Winnebago lands on the freeway after launching from one of Syndrome's rockets.
- And of course, even superhero families on their way to save the day have this time-honoured long-drive exchange...
Dash: Are We There Yet? |
- At the end of the movie, Dash is finally able to try out for track, and his family is on the bleachers cheering him on... and warning him not to run too fast. The look on the other parents' faces as they listen to the Parrs' instructions of "Make it second! A close second!" is priceless.
- Nearly the entire conversation between Bob and Mr. Huph.
Bob: Did I do something illegal? |
- In a display of literally superhuman self-control, it takes Huph being callously dismissive of and then openly mocking the victim of a mugging before Bob throws him through five walls and into a filing cabinet. He's several times the size of Huph, but it's still really cathartic (and hilarious). One of the commentaries talks about how the guy who animated it seemed to be working out an issue or two.
- For this troper, the funniest part of that was the squeak that Huph makes when he hits the floor.
- After Helen rescues Bob and they're running through the jungle looking for the kids while arguing.
Bob: I should have told you about being fired, I admit it, but I didn't want you to worry. |
- "I am Syndrome! Your nemesis! And... (inadvertently throws Mr. Incredible out of sight) oh, brilliant."
- The entirety of the Jack-Jack short. Of note is Syndrome's appearance near the end.
- He's extremely polite when he finds a (more-than-slightly deranged-looking) Kari, and the whole conversation is one long CMOF.
Syndrome: Is this the...Parr's residence? |
- In her interview, Mr. Dicker lampshaded her acceptance of the flimsy explanation:
Mr. Dicker: And you believed him. |
- "Easy Helen, easy. Easy, girl. You're overreacting. Everything's fine. They're just...all getting coffee. At the same time. Yeah."
- Even though Jack-Jack's transformation from fiery baby to metal baby to monster is High Octane Nightmare Fuel, Syndrome's priceless look and high-pitched scream before Jack-Jack begins beating him up is funny.
