Fantastic Four (2005 film)/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The first lines of the movie are pretty funny if a bit foreboding.

Ben: Typical of Victor Von Doom to build a 30 foot statue of himself.

  • Ben's reaction after finding out that he's working under Johnny.

Ben: I cannot take orders from the underwear model.

  • Reed walks away from Ben after Ben tries to point out (again) that he and Sue are meant for each other.

Ben: Do I have to do everything myself?

  • After Johnny falls off his snowboard and lights on fire, melting the snow around him into water. The scene ends rather "suggestively".
    • Later Johnny's walking around wearing (almost) nothing while showing off his new fire powers.

Now picture that... But everywhere! I mean... Everywhere!

  • Ben sitting on the Brooklyn Bridge moping.

Ben: Oh yeah Ben, few days in space, it'll be great, what's the worst that could happen?

  • When Johnny, after failing several times to get Ben to slap himself in the face with the hand covered in shaving cream. Then he finally succeeds.
  • The scene when the gang is watching Johnny on TV at the Moto-X Games.

Reporter: So, what are your superhero names?
Johnny: They call me the Human Torch. Ladies call me Torch.
Reporter: What about the rest of the team?
Johnny: (shows a picture of Sue) That's the Invisible Girl.
Susan: "Girl"?
Reporter: What about your leader, Reed Richards? I hear you call him Mr. Fantastic.
Ben: Could've been worse.
Reed: I guess.

    • Reed does get a little upset about Johnny's next comment.

X Games Reporter: Is it true what they say about him? That he can expand *any* part of his anatomy?
Johnny: Well, I've always found him to be a little limp.

  • Ben enters the lobby and bumps into Johnny.

Johnny: Hey! Look what the marketing guys did! Look, check it out, listen, listen, you'll love this... (holds up a little Thing doll that says, "It's clobberin' time!" in a squeaky voice)
Johnny: It's catchy, right?

    • Sorry Johnny, but Ben doesn't agree with your assessment.
