Pinocchio (Disney film)/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Disney's Pinocchio

  • Pinocchio has a few, probably unintentional examples, perhaps slipping into Black Comedy.
    • There's the scene where Stromboli finds and bites a piece of metal among his gold coins, goes into a rant of gibberish...then suddenly calms down: "For you, Pinocchio."
    • Also, during Lampwick's not-funny transformation sequence, the way he says "What the...?" is at least snicker-worthy
      • For me (at least on a repeat viewing) I giggled when his transformation kicked into over-drive, and his first reaction was "I've been double-crossed! I've been framed!" As if he'd correctly deduced that someone else was turning him into a donkey. Like you'd really think that way in that situation.
    • "What's he think I look like? A jackass?"
    • Even the coachman's infamous "...as BOYS!" line is pretty funny to watch when one is older.
  • What was the Tear Jerker moment of the movie, reverses itself when the now-real Pinocchio asks Geppetto why he's crying, who answers with " because you're dead, Pinocchio. Now lie down."
  • "Why do I have to go to school?" "To... y'know, learn stuff. Get smart."
  • Stromboli
  • Pinocchio's finger on fire. That is all.
  • "GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!"
  • What's an actor want with a conscience anyway?
  • "Who's there?" "It's me." "Oh, it's me..."
  • Gideons's um...diagnosis.
  • In the adaptation for Lux Radio Theater, this piece of Narm comes up.

Coachman: Hello, jackass. And what's your name.
