|
|
Because I have to clip this scene for a video I'm working on:
I always crack up laughing in 'Every Man for Himself,' with Ben shaking the bunny's cage and going 'Hippety-hop, hippety-hop!' I know, that's evil of me, but for some reason I find it darkly humorous. Can't quite put my finger on why.
Any time Jack cries is also good for a chuckle, as are a lot of Locke's freakouts, and, the classic one, "WAAAAAAAAALT!"
So what else in 'Lost' strikes you as funny, even though it isn't supposed to be? Not sure if there'll be any other entries, but I would have been remiss not to post this. _________________ I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. His hair was perfect.

ahh, this thread will be delightful!!!
i find Sayid is a source of constant accidental humour and my absolute fave is in Confidence man, where he says 'Good Morning' to Sawyer before conking him out cold - that gets me every time!
And one of my fave Claire lines from the 23rd Psalm i think with Eko:
Eko: Aaron? The brother of Moses?
Claire: Yeah, that must have been tough to live up to, right? The pressure of everyone saying, "Why can't you be more like your brother, Moses."
I always find Charlie funny, this scene got me crazy like. from Flashes Before your Eyes in Sawyer's tent with Hurley, raiding sawyers stash:
Charlie: Well, he stole all this in the first place. I mean, people need food. They need medical supplies. They need -- [Charlie looks down and sees a stack of magazines] shocking amounts of pornography.
Though they arent exactly unintentional, but they still make me laugh. Another one that i simply adored was in season two when Locke and Eko meet for the first time; having no idea who each other are:
LOCKE: Hello.
EKO: Hello.
Just the way they say it cracks me up!
Great idea for a thread, Kate _________________

Ah yes, the Mangsheng always gets a giggle out of me, especially after having watched KajaM's Santa Claus is Coming To Town, because she always uses a clip of Jack crying for "You better not cry"
Oh, and when Charlie says to Eko, "what are you gonna do? Beat me with your Jesus stick?" I always dissolve into schoolyard sniggers. Always. (Though, maybe that bit WAS intentionally funny?)
Nothing else is coming to me at the moment, but I can tell there's going to be lots of things that'll jog my memory when this thread swings into full action _________________ avatar: Plastic!Winchester Theater by anteka @ LJ; icon by me

Just thought of another. in raised by another just after claire's attacked, jack and hurley are talking about taking a census and Hurley says. "My name isn't Hurley, it's Hugo Reyes. Hurley's just a nickname I have, alright? Why? I'm not telling" The way he says that is just totally funny to me _________________

Yeah, Mangsheng is hilarious, but another funny thing with Jack is his weird head-bobbing thing when he's doing that obviously fake laugh of his. _________________

The look on Locke's face when he was staring at Ben in The Man Behind The Curtain, with fruit in his mouth, before he finally says "Well, I guess there's a first time for everything", was totally priceless. Sometimes it reminds me of a llama face. He looked practically crazy.
The things that are the funniest unintentionally, for me, are musical bits, when the instruments or notes seem to stick out in the scene. Like the infamous "WHaaaaAAAAAAMM!!", and the glubbery ghost sound effect you hear a lot in season 3, with creepy Other influences in the plotline.
I also laugh at Jack's lumberjack swaggering over to someone in his condescending attempt to gain power through bullying. Oh, and who can forget all the Jackfaces!! _________________

LOL. The thing I always find funny for some reason is Eko in fire and water when Charlie's got Aaron and Eko says, "This is not da way!"
Dunno, I just find it funny |

Another one - am I the only one who laughed at:
in general, especially:
"... LIGHT 'EM UP!"
... because I totally did. I hate The Hunting Party with a burning passion, and that quote was just so ridiculous that it sent that episode over the edge into near-self-parody for me. _________________ I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. His hair was perfect.

Jack's face when he first sees Ana Lucia on the island. CRACKED ME UP! He was all like 0_o, which is hard for me to make an emoticon of, but...maybe you remember the scene.
OOH! In White Rabbit, when Boone's talking to Jack and Jack sees his dad, so he walks straight past Boone, and Boone's like, "HEY! I'm TALKING to you!!" Bwahaha. The way he said it was too funny.
(I will probably be back with more at some point.)
EDIT: Recently re-watched Live Together, Die Alone...I found it HILARIOUS when Tom pulled his beard off...then Benry walks up and he's like, "Where's your beard?" Lol, I don't know, I thought it was really amusing,
AND...I can't believe I forgot this before....The part where Eko shoves Charlie against the wall and pulls Charlie's belt off! Cracks me UP. Their faces are priceless. _________________

Oh heck yes. Gosh, can I pinpoint what makes me laugh though? I get so tickled watching various episodes and there's never really much of a reason.
John Locke scenes with Eko make me laugh because Terry O'Quinn's loathing for the guy is so obvious, he always sounds so sarcastic when talking to him.
Locke freak outs. "IT'S MY DESTINTY!!!" "IT'S FATE!!" whatever. They're funny no matter what. Also the line, "don't tell me what I can't do."
Michael to Ben on the dock: "WHAT? what?! AM I STUPID??" It's like..yes, you are. He should be saying, "What? Do you think I'm stupid" so that just makes me laugh.
Locke (in recent episode) "It was Walt...but taller." um...and older, with a voice change, bigger hair and...oh...dang...five years older and STILL wearing the same old clothes ("bigger" of course).
Ben as Henry Gale, "Wow! Where did you guys get cereal?" then if you go to the end of his episode- Man Behind the Curtain he's got cereal in that crate that he's about to deliver. lol.
Ben...just in general. He makes me start laughing just for no reason. He's hilarious to me.
Danielle: "She's MY daughter!!!" *smack!*
Mikhail's grin when he kills Charlie (a very inappropriate time to laugh I might add).
Jack to John in the hatch: "Are you feeling Nauseous? Any dizziness?" (A fan video ruined this for me...it was entitled "Lost fart" if that gives you any idea. I can no longer watch that scene.)
Sayid crying over dead Shannon makes me laugh. VERY inappropriate. but the "Awgh!" noise he makes is so funny!!!
Yemi: "CO-FESS!"
Eko's death.
Little Ben at the pylons. At the end of the scene he trips and you can hear him squeak. Oh and "Moooooooooooooooooooom!" cracks me up too because I accidentally fast forwarded the clip on my computer. He sounded like the squeaking wild rabbit I saved from my hunting cat in the yard once.
Richard Alpert’s hand gestures.
Jack to Locke in the hatch after they lock him out on Ben: "Why would you do that?" - He sounds so whiney there.

I found it hilarious in The Cost of Living and Eko's talking to the little boy and the boy goes, "...Are you a badman?" It's just so funny how he says it! I laughed so hard!
Ben is hilarious. Now that Charlie's gone (sob) and Sawyer and Hurley are both all depressed, I think Ben's going to be our comic relief this season. _________________
