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.

  • You wouldn't think a series of slasher style movies would have much humor, you'd be wrong. Aliens seems to have the most in the way of funny moments. Almost all of them are provided by surprise surprise Hudson.
    • Here's a good Hudson line.
Cquote1

Gorman: Hicks, meet me at the south lock. We're coming in.
Hudson: He's comin' in. I feel safer already.

    • One of his best is even earlier than that.
Cquote1

Hudson: Is this gonna be a standup fight, sir, or another bughunt?
Gorman: All we know is that there's still no contact with the colony, and that a xenomorph may be involved.
Frost: Excuse me, sir, a what?
Gorman: A xenomorph.
Hudson: It's a bughunt.

Cquote2
    • After Gorman's briefing, the sergeant tells Hudson he wants to have a little "chat".
Cquote1

Sgt. Apone: Hudson, come here. COME HERE.

Cquote2
    • Speaking of Hudson on the receiving end:
Cquote1

Hudson: Hey Vasquez, ever been mistaken for a man?
Vasquez: No... have you?

Cquote2
  • Oddly enough one of the funniest lines goes to Burke of all people. Of course he's just doing it to be sarcastic, but still!
Cquote1

Hudson: What are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do?!
Burke: Maybe we could build a fire, sing a couple of songs, huh? Why don't we try that?

Cquote2
  • Bishop pulling his knife trick on Hudson. The latter's expression throughout is absolutely priceless.
  • Alien Ressurrection also has several moments of humor, though mostly dark comedy.
