Kung Fu Panda/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Master Monkey: We should hang out.
"Legendary Warrior": Agreed.

  • "I love Kung Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...!"
  • The candle-blowing scene. Oogway has something important to tell Shifu, but decides to start blowing candles out...one...by...one. The only thing funnier than Oogway seemingly preparing to continue speaking only to keep blowing them out would have to be Shifu's understandably irritated expression.
  • Shortly after that, Shifu and Oogway contemplate who will receive the Dragon Scroll:

Shifu: But who? Who is worthy to be entrusted with the secret to limitless power? To become...the Dragon Warrior?
(Beat)
Oogway: I dunno.

  • On his first day of training, Po suggests they start with exercises suited to his level, like "level zero"; Shifu says there's no such thing. Later, Shifu gives an evaluation to Po's totally un-awesome display: "There is now a level zero."
  • The acupuncture scene.
    • "Wait! My fault!! I accidentally tweaked his facial nerve! And may...have also stopped his heart."
  • Po, who is thought to have no extreme physical capabilities beforehand, may have been able to get at a cookie jar on a shelf ten feet off the ground, but this troper finds Po's simple excuse of "getting a cookie" priceless, as well as how surprised Shifu is by it.
    • "Don't tell Monkey."
    • It's made even more hilarious in the credit scenes; Monkey's looking for his almond cookies in the jar and finds them missing, while Po is outside, with the cookies in hand!
  • The bit where Mantis tries to hold the bridge ropes by himself.

Mantis: Go! (grabs ropes, strains from holding them) AUGH, WHATWASITHINKING?!

  • (imitating Shifu) "You will never be the Dragon Warrior unless you lose 500 pounds and brush your teeth!"
  • "Ooohoohooohh! My tenders!"
  • Po tells his father, "Honestly, sometimes I can't believe I'm actually your son..." immediately followed up by "Po, I think it's time I told you something I should have told you a long time ago............the Secret Ingredient of my Secret Ingredient Soup!"
  • The chopstick fight.
  • "Skadoosh."
  • "It is not your destiny to defeat Tai Lung! It is his!" (points dramatically to the empty space where Po was standing) "Where'd he go?" (cut to Po running away, screaming like a little girl).
  • The Hall of Warriors contains many revered kung fu artifacts, but some of the things border on ridiculous:
  • Right at the very end, with Shifu involved in...well...I won't ruin it for you. Let's just say that, for that scene alone, Kung Fu Panda is required viewing. He's not dying, you idiot! He is simply at peace. *beat* Does he want to get something to eat? *heavy sigh* Yeah.
  • At the climax, Tai Lung hits Po with the nerve strike attack thingy and he keels over...only to start laughing when Tai Lung keeps punching him. "Stop it! I'm gonna pee! Don't!"
  • From the tie-in video game: Po is hopelessly lost in a desert while trying to get back to the Jade Palace. He comes across Tai Lung's secret training ground and comes across Tai Lung himself (either him or an illusion, it isn't made clear).

Tai Lung: "Why have you come to my training ground?"
Po: "I c-came for the cookies?"

Tai Lung stares at him for a moment, then shoves him off the platform they're standing on.
