=== The Lion King ===
* The part where Zazu starts off singing "Nobody Knows":
{{quote| '''Scar:''' Oh Zazu, do lighten up. Sing something with a little... ''bounce'' in it.<br />
'''Zazu:''' [[Ear Worm|It's a small world after all...]]<br />
'''Scar:''' NO! No... ''Anything'' but that! }}
Line 9:
** This scene had people falling out of their chairs during the premiere showing. It's one of the greatest CMOF in all animated movies.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykbx-yzFgBo Rafiki smacking Simba upside the head with his stick], - "OW! Jeez, what was that for?!" Even funnier after watching the [[DVD Commentary]]. That was just a [[Throw It In]].
{{quote| "So I said, why doesn't he just hit him over the head?" }}
*** Even better when Timon's Ma whacks Rafiki upside the head with his own staff.
** Speaking of Rafiki:
{{quote| '''Rafiki''': Come here. *pulls Simba close to whisper in his ear* It's a secret.<br />
[[[Beat]]]<br />
'''Rafiki''': ''(whispering and getting louder)'' Asante sana, squash banana! We we nugu! Mi mi apana! }}
*** And when asked what the song means, Rafiki says, "It means you are a baboon...and I'm not."
Line 25:
* Rafiki going kung fu on the hyenas could qualify both as this and a Moment of Awesome.
* This easy-to-miss exchange:
{{quote| '''Simba:''' ''(in the background)'' [[Broken Record|Dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad...]]<br />
'''Sarabi:''' ''(half asleep)'' Your son is awake.<br />
'''Mufasa:''' ''(half asleep)'' Before sunrise, he's ''your'' son. }}
* Another easy-to-miss one:
{{quote| '''Simba:''' Will you cut it out?<br />
'''Rafiki:''' Can't cut it out, it will grow right back! }}
* Zazu getting crushed by a rhino at the end of "Just Can't Wait to Be King"
{{quote| '''Zazu:''' I beg your pardon, madam, but... '''GET OFF!!'''}}
* "No king! No king! La la la la la la~!"
** Just before that, this exchange:
{{quote| '''Banzai:''' Yeah, be prepared! Heheh, we'll be prepared! Heh. ...For what?<br />
'''Scar:''' For the death of the king!<br />
'''Banzai:''' Why, is he sick?<br />
'''Scar:''' (''candidly'') No, fool, we're gonna kill him, and Simba, too. }}
** The entire song "Be Prepared" just crosses into all sorts of territory, from [[Nightmare Fuel]] to [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] to [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] ''and'' [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].
* Timon's absolute confusion when Nala and Simba reunite. [[Mood Whiplash|After they were at each other's throats.]] And after she tried to eat Pumbaa, who, after pleasantries, seems to have completely forgotten about it. Which only confuses Timon more!
{{quote| '''Simba:''' Nala, I'd like you to meet Pumbaa. Pumbaa, Nala.<br />
'''Pumbaa:''' Pleased to make your acquaintance.<br />
'''Nala:''' The pleasure's all mine!<br />
'''Timon:''' How do you do.. Whoa! Whoa. Time out.. Lemme get this straight. You know her. She knows you. But she wants to eat him. And everybody's... ''okay'' with this? DID I MISS SOMETHING?! }}
* Also:
{{quote| '''Banzai''': Hey, did we order this dinner to go?<br />
'''Shenzi''': (expecting another pun) No, why?<br />
'''Banzai''': 'Cause ''there it goes''! }}
* This little aside from "Hakuna Matata":
{{quote| '''Timon:''' When he was a young warthog...<br />
'''Pumbaa:''' ''When I was a young WARTHOOOG...''<br />
'''Timon:''' Very nice.<br />
'''Pumbaa:''' Thanks! }}
* The [[Hilarious Outtakes]] made for the 3D version.
* This exchange:
{{quote| '''Banzai:''' ''Now that's power.''<br />
'''Shenzi:''' ''Tell me about it. I just hear that name and I shudder.''<br />
'''Banzai:''' ''MUFASA!''<br />
'''Shenzi:''' ''Oooh. Do it again!''<br />
'''Banzai:''' ''MUFASA!''<br />
'''Shenzi:''' ''Ooh!''<br />
'''Banzai:''' ''MUFASA MUFASA MUFASA!''<br />
'''Ed:''' *cracks up laughing*<br />
'''Shenzi:''' ''[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|It tingles]]!''<br />
'''Scar:''' ([[Face Palm|massages his forehead softly]]) ''I'm [[Surrounded by Idiots]].'' }}
* And earlier in the film:
{{quote| '''Zazu:''' Oh, NO! NOT THE BIRDY BOILER!}}
* Scar being [[Deadpan Snarker]] at his best to hide the fact he cannot stand Simba's enthusiasm for being destined to the throne.
{{quote| '''Scar''': Yes, well forgive me for not leaping for joy. Bad back, you know.<br />
'''Simba''': Hey Uncle Scar, when I'm King, what'll that make you?<br />
'''Scar''': A monkey's uncle. }}
 
=== The Lion King 2 ===
 
* Nuka is always good for a laugh.
{{quote| "Roasty toasty princess... roasty toasty princess... Hey, is it hot in here, or is that just me? Fire! Yowww!"}}
 
=== The Lion King 1 1/2 ===
* [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|Funny Moments]]: When Timon stalls Shenzi for time by proposing. The looks on the faces of Shenzi, Banzai and Ed, and especially Pumbaa, are unforgettable.
{{quote| '''Timon:''' Shenzi Marie, I know what you're thinking. We're too different. It'll never work. What will the children look like?}}
** The way he does it is pretty insulting too - "If not now, when? If not me, who?" For believers in the Shenzi/Banzai pairing, Banzai has a pretty smug look on his face the whole time.
* Timon & Pumba's MST3King, particularly their reaction to the hula.
{{quote| '''Timon:''' ''(completely deadpan)'' You okay if we skip this bit?<br />
'''Pumba:''' ''(completely deadpan)'' Yes. }}
* The [[Retcon]] regarding [[Fartillery|why]] the animals bowed down to the newborn Simba.
Line 92:
* "It's hard to think with all this music!"
* The [[Hurricane of Puns]] the hyenas come up with. For example:
{{quote| '''Shenzi:''' Encore, encore!<br />
'''Banzai:''' You mean "entre, entre!" }}
* At one point Pumba, Simba, and Timon are shown sitting in a pool with bubbles to relax. Cue [[Gasshole|Pumba]] getting out of the pool and the bubbles stopping. Simba and Timon look at the pool in disgust and run out of the pool.
* The part after the hula scene:
{{quote| '''Timon's mom:''' "Something is different about Timon."<br />
'''Uncle Max:''' "You think?''(shouts)'' HE'S WEARING A DRESS!" }}
* Simba is constantly waking Timon for various reasons, and what should make a return but the infamous log:
{{quote| '''Timon:''' "We're gonna get old walking across this thing."}}
* Right before the infamous hula scene:
{{quote| '''Timon:''' "This could be our finest hour yet!"}}
 
=== Stage musical ===
 
* Before "I Just Can't Wait To Be King," Zazu says, [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|"This wasn't in the cartoon!"]]
** "Huh, it looks like an oversized shower curtain from Zellers<ref> or Target or IKEA, depending on where it's performed</ref>..."
* In the 2011 Montreal performance of the show, Zazu switches 'It's a small world' for 'Vive L'Allouetes!'. It makes sense if you're from Montreal.
** Additionally, Rafiki says 'Tu'as Compris?' at the end of one of her rants, and the subtitles on the screens to the side SHOW IT IN ENGLISH.
** In the 2011 Las Vegas show, Zazu belts out ''another'' song that starts with a form of "Vive." Three guesses which.
* Mufasa (seemingly) fires Zazu. The hornbill's response:
{{quote| '''Zazu''': ...In ''this'' [[Reality Subtext|economy]]?!}}
** The puppet then [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|attacks its operator.]]
{{quote| '''Zazu''': This is all your fault!}}
* From the 2010 Calgary performance:
{{quote| '''Timon:''' What do you think those stars are?<br />
''' Pumba:''' I think they're giant balls of gas floating millions of miles away from us<br />
'''Timon:''' ...Everything comes back to gas for you, doesn't it? }}
