Batman: The Brave And The Bold/Funny

"Batman: (*in a squeaky high-pitched voice*) "Your time will come, evildoer!"
 * In "Legends of the Dark Mite!" with the "Comic Con" parody, including cameos of Bruce Timm and Paul Dini dressed as the Joker and Harley Quinn, respectively.
 * Also, in the episode "Mayhem Of the Music Meister!"... well, basically, the entire episode. Here's a hint: Batman's friends and foes are hypnotically placed in a musical against their will. YES.
 * Green Arrow: "Flirterers!"
 * In "Clash of the Metal Men!", Helium, a living mass of helium gas, swirls around Batman so that he inhales some of it.

Helium: That's never not funny!"

"Mera: Why are we going to Gotham?
 * Angry!Batman to Slacker!Batman: "Batman does not eat nachos!" Slacker!Batman: *very pointed munch*
 * The entire episode "Aquaman's Outrageous Adventure!", where he goes on a roadtrip with his wife and son, but keeps sneaking off to go on adventures. Every time he encounters a new hero, we get a titlecard that uses the Superfriends scene transition noise. It enters a whole other dimension of funny when, after Mera catches on, AQUAMAN promises that he's going to have a vacation with his family... followed by a titlecard for that.
 * Later in the episode:

Aquaman: (Gunshots in the distance)Because, my precious coral, Gotham City is one of the continent's oldest and most historic surface settlements. It's a center of world art, culture, and commerce. (woman screams) Windows up!"

"6 Year Old Batman I loth a tooth. Wanna thee?"
 * Joker teaming up with Batman in "Game Over For Owlman" was bloody hilarious. Highlights include Joker accidentally unleashing sleeping gas on himself whilst fooling around with the Batmobile's controls, shouting "To the Batmobile!", deciding which weapons he can and can't use after Batman makes him promise not to hurt anyone and telling Owlman that they (him and Batman) "don't make deals with criminal scum!"
 * Best of all, making bunny ears on Batman's dramatic entrance shadow.
 * And during the climactic battle, while all of the heros and villains are fighting epically, Joker is running around in the background cackling and holding up a bomb a la Adam West.
 * In "The Siege of Starro Part Two", after Starro is defeated by, Aquaman says, "I shall name this adventure... 'THE TIME THE C-LIST HEROES BARELY SAVED THE DAY'!!!"
 * In a similar vein to the one above, "I think I shall this adventure 'THE TIME BATMAN SENT US TO THE WRONG ISLAND!'It's just so funny to see AQUAMAN being sarcastic, but in an odd form of deadpan humor where he doesn't change the tone of his voice in any way from any of the other adventures.
 * A Sherman Tank driven by the ghost of a Confederate General does a Dukes Of Hazzard-style jump over a drawbridge, horn and all.
 * Aquaman hears voices. Wee little voices. And they are just so cute!
 * "Emperor Joker", generally. But as a more specific example, when the Joker creates a trap in which Batman can't escape, he's crushed to his death. Why is this funny? Batman's ghost appears and plays a harp, confirming that he died. However, with Joker's new Reality Warper powers, he brings Batman back from the dead... just to kill him all over again in a death montage rivaling the likes of Starscream's. Also doubles as a Moment of Awesome for this universe's Joker, doing what very few incarnations have done.
 * A second example from that episode would be Joker using his powers to render Harley Quinn mute. Every time she tries to say something it appears on a silent movie-style title card, complete with organ music. This is followed by Harley and Bat-Mite using this to their advantage, by pulling the title cards from the screen as they appear and using them as weapons. Harley even gets one when she blows a raspberry!
 * Katrina in Batman's body in "The Criss Cross Conspiracy!". By avoiding the Voices Are Mental shtick, we get to hear Batman say such lines as, "Does this suit make my butt look big?" and all in all acting even more campy than the 60s Batman.
 * Plastic Man's warped sense of history in Cry Freedom Fighters, followed by him reviving Uncle Sam by leading everyone in a muddled version of Yanky Doodle, complete with bouncing ball onscreen lyrics. The writers must have realized how Narmy the moment would have been if it wasn't played for laughs, so they really went all out on it.
 * From that same episode, the end where Plastic Man doesn't even recognize  .
 * Almost everything Ice says in Darkseid Descending.
 * THE GREEKS!
 * Everything Ice says PERIOD.
 * "I bet you say that to all the Nordic ice goddesses."
 * Bat-Mite in the Scooby Doo segment of Batman's Strangest cases: "Look at this. Someone mispainted Batman's neck! I hate that..."
 * More hilariously is the fact that he missed an incorrectly painted Bat-symbol in the same scene.
 * It was mentioned in the Awesome page, but bears repeating here: Joker and Penguin getting the crap beaten out of them by
 * In the "The Malicious Mr. Mind!", Batman is hit with a age-reversing ray and spends the episode getting younger. After solving the woes of the Marvel family, he is thanked by the Captain himself. Batman's response?

"Jimmy: "Superman seems to have become a di-"
 * In "Battle of the Superheroes" there's... erm... Well let's just say pretty much anything Superman does after being dosed with Red K. Not to mention the numerous shout-out's to classic moments from Superdickery.com.

Lois: "-ferent person!""

"Superman: (shakes bottled city of Kandor) "EARTHQUAKE!""
 * When this happens at the Fortress of Solitude.

"Jimmy: "We sure have had some good times."
 * Then when he drops it there's a muffled "OUCH!"
 * The entire episode is chock full of Superdickery references, my favorite, though:

(flashback starts, with Jimmy as a giant monster, destroying a bridge)

Superman: "Jimmy! I told you not to experiment with that growth ray! It's turned you into a super-menace, and now I must remove you from the Earth!"

(Jimmy roars as the scene cuts back to a still smiling Jimmy)"

"Atom: "Well I hope you called the most intellegent and quick witted hero you could find!"
 * Or there's the part earlier where Batman is talking to Lois about Superman's strange behavior. She Flashes Back to Supes having a barbecue on the beach with Lana Lang, telling Lois "Serves you right for all those schemes you used to try to get me to marry you!" What really sells the moment is when we cut back to the present and Lois quickly says "I have no idea what he was talking about."
 * Speaking of Super Dickery references, "Emperor Joker" begins with the series's own take on the "Rainbow Batman" story, complete with the lines on the comic's cover repeated word-for-word.
 * Remember how funny it was when Joker teamed up with Batman? Well "Joker: The Vile and the Villainous" has Joker in Batman's shoes teaming up with other villains. Complete with his own Joker-fied versions of Batman's gadgets.
 * This bit

(Door opens)

AQUAMAN: "Sorry I'm late old chums!"

Atom: "We're doomed.""

"Plastic Man: "Are you seeing what I'm seeing? Cause I'm seeing gorillas... riding pterodactyls... with harpoon guns... stealing a boat.""
 * "Terror on Dinosaur Island!":

"Plastic Man: "I called as soon as I heard. How ya feelin' Bats?"
 * In Night of the Batmen, Batman requests that his injury be kept secret. Then Plastic Man calls, saying he heard about it because Aquaman already wrote a memoir about it -- and had done book signings and TV interviews.

Batman: *Death Glare* "Who told you?""

"Deadshoot: "Was... That meant for me?""
 * And let's not forget Plastic Man's reaction to Catwoman!
 * And just as funny is Catwoman's angry, almost disgusted response upon seeing that he's not the real Batman, because the reason she got her new outfit in the first place was specifically to get that reaction from Batman himself.
 * Deadshoot's reaction to Green Arrow throwing a batterang at him, only for it to clatter harmlessly onto the ground.

""So, you think you're tough, huh? Do ya, punk?! Well, you don't know who you're dealing with! I am Doctor Ryan Choi, and you are going down!" (his "opponent" is revealed to be a chalkboard full of calculus equations; he adds a minus sign to one) "Ha! How do you like that?! I JUST INVERTED YOUR EXPONENTIAL INTEGRAL!" (adds a minus sign to another equation) "Does it hurt?!" (pelvic thrusts)"
 * Wonder Woman's theme song. WONDER WOMMMMANNNNN.
 * Aquaman gets a sitcom, The Currys of Atlantis.
 * Ryan Choi as a civilian:

""Ice, perhaps you should... mingle"
 * Superman pretending to put a straw up his nose while having dinner with Batman and Wonder Woman.
 * Joker pretending to be an Amazonian.
 * Lex throws a hunk of kryptonite at Superman. Superman redirects it into the lead-lined sewer. Owned.
 * And before Lex pulls it out, Supes gives a very bored "Here it comes..."
 * Batman's reaction to Steve fawning over Wonder Woman.
 * "Crisis, 22,300 miles above Earth!" has its moments.
 * "Can't talk nowSkiing ninjas.... with lasers!!!"
 * And Ice in the episode

"But I do not have to go to the bathroom!"

""I was outside the whole time!""
 * In "Mitefall!", Bat-Mite gives Ace a bipedal, talking nephew who looks familiar.
 * Bat-Mite laments how the show has finally Jumped the Shark. Cue AQUAMAN asking for the "Bat Shark-Repellent Spray." Followed by him trying to ruin the show by adding useless gadgets just for the toyline...
 * The teaser to "The Sword of the Atom!", which plays Aquaman's home life as a cheesy sitcom (The Currys of Atlantis, complete with a theme song sung by Aquaman and Studio Audience). Aquaman forgets his anniversary and has to wiggle out of trouble. Black Manta suffers hilarious Motive Decay by trying to blow up Aquaman's house because Fluke the dolphin ruined his octopus garden.
 * Aquaman's phone call to Ryan Choi, where Aquaman suggests he travel over the phone line like the Atom would. As Choi explains that's not his power and that they're talking on cell phones, Aquaman sneaks through the door (tip-toeing) and surprises him.

"Aquaman: A fish is a fish."
 * While miniturized in the jungle, Aquaman suggests summoning help. As Choi complains that there's no sea life nearby to summon, two Silverfish suddenly appear.

"Batman: (about the random wormhole the suit is making) Has this sort of thing happened before?
 * Anytime Blue Beetle argues with his suit is hilarious but the true crowning moments of funny come when the thing just takes over.

(flash back to Blue Beetle rescuing a cat from a tree, his arm suddenly turns into razor blades that shred all the leaves off the tree and the cat jumps down and attacks him)

Blue Beetle: (quickly) No!"

"Atom: As we travel through the villi the CP4 barium sonowave will indicate any monoclinic phylosilicates in our vicinity.
 * Or that wonderful speech Blue Beetle gives to the little squishy aliens in the first episode, ended on the truimphant note: "NOW WRAP IT UP!!!"
 * Jaime fawning over Huntress is his funniest non-suit related moment.
 * This troper can't decide whether or not this one was intentional, but: in the Sherlock Holmes episode, Holmes' detective skills were more-or-less reduced to an Informed Ability. So in the sword-fight with Craddock, he brags that his reflexes are just as sharp as his mind... and is soundly walloped seconds later, after [[media:holmes-suddenly-has-no-idea-what-his-sword-is.gif|looking at his sword in confusion]].
 * It's probably not intentional; Craddock hits so hard he was checking his sword for damage. Still funny if you imagine his internal monologue. "This guys going to be a tough custo--OW! Jeez, is my sword okay? Did he hurt you, Baby?"
 * "Menace of the Music Meister!" has great music, but even better (and funnier) dancing, topped with Aquaman waltzing with Gorilla Grodd.
 * That episode also features, by association, Dr. Horrible falling in love with Azula. This realization makes the episode approximately 42% funnier.
 * And by the end of the episode, Azula's singing a duet with Tidus.
 * How about the time The Atom is trying to explain to Aquaman in Journey To The Center Of The Bat!?

Aquaman: English, man, English!

Atom: This... little doo-hickey *beeps* when the cooties are near.

Aquaman: Ah, I... cooties, yes."

"Batman: Wait...you've been meddling in the past again, haven't you?"
 * "It's replicating!" "Yes, and it's making more of itself too!"
 * In "Menace of the Madniks", Booster changes the past, and returns to the present to find the city a wasteland an a giant energy monster. Batman shows up, calls his name, and he promptly denies anything is his fault. Batman says he was just going to ask for help with the monster.

"Batman: I am not explaining the intracies of time travel to a man without a library card!"
 * Later on, Booster proposes several solutions to the problem.

"Batman: That was an ape driving a cab."
 * A great one in "Gorillas in Our Midst" when Gorilla Grodd takes over Gotham and Detective Chimp nearly gets run over. Batman's completely flat delivery totally sells it.

"Captain Atom: ...What was that?
 * Aquaman's Rousing Song of Heroism. Seeing him dressed as everyone from Superman to Black Canary is beyond hilarious. As is Captain Atom's reaction to the song.

Aquaman: *Catching his breath* I call it, "Aquaman's Rousing Song of Heroism". Beat. You don't look roused."

"Guy: So...your ring is weak to wood? What happens if someone comes at you with a pointy stick?
 * The amazing "Birds of Prey" song is a hilarious master class in Getting Crap Past the Radar... by barely disguising it at all.
 * Batman incredulously saying "what does she see in that man?" after Steve Trevor brags about having Wonder Woman for a girlfriend. Steve does come off as a bit smug and smarmy.
 * Alan Scott (the original Green Lantern) and Guy Gardner mocking each others Weaksauce Weakness.

Alan: The same thing that would happen to you, if it was painted yellow."

"Batman: I see. The lightning bolt caused an emotional trauma that made you commit kite related crimes."
 * The Teaser of the episode "Powerless". Batmen of All Nations versus Jokers of All Nations. Cossack Joker, Cossack-dance-kicking at one of the Batmen.
 * John Wilkes Boothe in a Steampunk mechanical suit fighting Abraham Lincoln and Batman in "Mitefall". This description doesn't even begin to describe the beauty of this scene.
 * In "Long Arm of Justice" Kite Man is explaining his origin story. Batman sums it up nicely in a deadpan way only Diedrich Bader could pull off.


 * It's momentary, but there's a snippet of a scene where various heroes are being summoned, and we cut to a jubilant Plastic Man on the phone, taking long, bouncy strides towards the source of trouble--at which point he's told he's not needed there, literally visibly deflating and dragging himself back offscreen the way he came. It's at once sad and hilarious.
