Well, Alan Cumming really is as flaming as they get in real life.

Another one I thought of is from FRWL:

"Oh, there you are, old man. I was worried something had happened to you."

It's just the way it's said, almost with a hint of regret. Even funnier when you think of the fact that Grant is about to beat the living snot out of Bond, all the while getting his jollies off at doing so.

Mine comes from Star Wars Ep. II -

"It is obvious that this contest cannot be decided by our knowledge of the force, but by our skills with a lightsaber!"

[Cue hysterics]

"I always take a grass in the morning"

I sometimes expect "Welcome to [censored]ty (City) Airrines" to follow it.

My older sister used to laugh at the Krest head exploding scene in LTK, said that it looked like a cabbage patch doll. She also used to have a crush on Benicio Del Toro. I hope she doesn't mind me saying that, even though she's been dead for over 7 yrs now.

I find Krest yelling: "What the hell are you doing?!?" to be rather funny, he just reminds me of a total drunk.

Sorry about that Chandler :)

I think the bit when the two naval guys walk into see Freddy Gray after the sinking of the St Georges in FYEO is hilariously funny. :)

Was Dario's line: "Don't worry, she had a nice honeymoooon!" supposed to be funny or downright evil?

I'd say downright evil, but with his odd twinge of the character.

Benicio Del Toro was always odd twinge in real life...

...but a fantastic actor!

He's been fair so far, I haven't seen anything totallt substantial. But back on topic, I'd say that silly gold tooth of his...

The Octopussy circus ring where Bond tries to stop the bomb dressed as a clown was a good scene to debate at first. Was this supposed to be fuuny? Roger as a clown? Luckily the filmmakers down-played the crazy and silly antics from previous Moore efforts and gave the scene a nice sense of suspense and realism.

Nothing about that scene strikes me as funny. Now, some of the stunt doubles and how well you see them...

Or Jaws' flapping in Moonraker....

Ah yes. My mom always makes fun Roger's stunt doubles. Especially on the train sequence in Octopussy. I didn't know Moore had red hair. :)

It should have belonged in a Smokey and the Bandit picture...but in a Bond film that was unnessacary. The idea of more of humor in LALD I respect totally, but Pepper seemed like an annoying racist a-hole.

Yes, Pepper in TMWTTGG meeting Bond in Thailand was supposed to be a coincidence, right? I don't see that many drunken old hicks in Asia recently.

What do you expect from your average Louisiana county policeman in 1971? :)

Some of Maryam D'Abo's facial expressions crack me up, especially when she gasps and says: "Vienna?!"

Brosnan's running - First noted running up the stairs outside the casino in GoldenEye, now I can't shrug it off in every film - I mean who runs like that??? Is it supposed to be a comedy run?

For a moment I thought you were talking about Halle Berry. Someone obviously didn't like her when I saw the film in theatre, laughing loudly enough to hear how he was amazed with her running.

And also in OHMSS, there's the 'romantic montage', and that ludicrous, supposedly 'cool' shot where Lazenby comes sliding across the ice like some kind of human cannonball, firing his machine-gun...

I thought that sequence was pretty cool. :)

When Jaws first meets his girlfriend in Moonraker with the hilariously offbeat romantic music playing in the background. :)

Now that's a riot... :)

Funny is the huge delaye between timers hitting zero, and giving Bond enough time to escape before they actually do blow up.

It was also funny in the climax in Goldfinger.

Yes, in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

Or almost any line mentioned by Georgu Koskov, what a joke sometimes.

It's also kind of stupid taking Koskov quite seriously as a villian when he hugs everybody he meets.
