Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • Slim's Butt Monkey status as a prop. This is partly funny because his voice actor, David Hyde Pierce, plays an important role in the popular sitcom Frasier, and Slim has quite a lot of lines in the movie, but in character he always gets lousy parts.

P.T. Flea: "You're a walking stick. IT'S FUNNY! NOW GO!"
Slim: "You parasite."

Slim: (holding Francis to one side, admonishing some flies) "That's no way to speak to a lady."
Francis: "I heard that, you twig!"

  • When Flik bursts in on the 'hospital' scene with the entire circus troupe there. It's the contrast between how Flik's so excited with his Eureka Moment, while Francis is (almost casually) making a statement that makes this so funny.
Cquote1

Flik: "Hopper's afraid of birds!"
Francis: "And I don't blame him!"

Cquote2
  • "Pretend that that's a seed." "...but it's a rock." "I KNOW IT'S A ROCK! YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW A ROCK WHEN I SEE A ROCK?! I SPEND A LOTTA TIME AROUND ROCKS!"
  • Hopper telling Molt, "I swear... if I hadn't promised Mother on her deathbed that I wouldn't kill you... I would kill you!"
    • "Oh, you shoulda seen it! This bluejay — he has him halfway down his throat, okay? And Hopper — Hopper's kickin' and screamin', okay?..."
    • Immediately after Hopper's "I would kill you" line....
Cquote1

Molt: And nobody's more grateful for that than me!
Hopper: SHUT UP! I don't want to hear another word from you on this island. Do you understand me?
Molt: <whimphers>
Hopper: (gets angry and shakes Molt) I SAID DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!
Molt: Well how can I answer?! You said I couldn't say another word!

Hopper: (gets even angrier rears back his fist to punch him)

Molt: (cowers) AH! REMEMBER MA!

(Hopper soon punches another random member of his own gang instead)

  • Flik telling the circus bugs to squish him and get it over with.
  • FLAMING DEATH!
Cquote1

"Burn 'im again!"

  • The reaction of the Circus Bugs when they realize they're supposed to fight the grasshoppers and go out in a Heroic Sacrifice.
Cquote1

"We drew one of you dying because our teacher said it would be more dramatic!"

Cquote2
  • When Heimlich turns into a butterfly: "I'm finished! Finally, I'm a beautiful butterfly!" Then he emerges and looks exactly the same...just with a slightly different color, and itty-bitty wings.
    • "And from way up here, you all look like little ants!"
  • The Hilarious Outtakes. All of them.
Cquote1

Hopper: Are you saying that I'm stupid?
Atta:...YES! (completely cracks up)
Hopper: (deeply hurt) This is the fifteenth take, I cannot work like this. I will be in my trailer.
