The Russian jailer in TLD, who seems to be either reading his lines from idiot boards or having them fed to him via an earpiece. Never fails to make me laugh.

To compound this character's problems, he's played by a fat guy off the 1980's/90's UK TV soap opera "Brookside"...

The late Ken Sharratt. You can quite clearly hear his Liverpool accent too!

"- Rum Collins, Mr Bond?
- Yes.
Just about that hour, isn't it?
For you? Of course! I forgot. Vargas does not drink. Does not smoke. Does not make love. What do you do, Vargas?"

Vargas - Geez, boss, could you knock it off?

[hilly]

From Octopussy..

"And where did you recruit all these..."lovelies"?"

Did people ever actually use the phrase "lovelies"?.
All Roger needs is to have a cigarette holder clenched between his teeth and exclaim "Ding! Dong!" and the resemblance to Leslie Phillips would be complete...

I didn't tell you to get down!

I did not tell you to get up!

Now get up!

Gemma Arterton's acting in "Quantum of Solace"
The sinking house in "Casino Royale"

[Mr. Somerset]

The shot of the bearded Pierce saying "And what do you think?" in DAD-

The shot of the enraged Tim crumpling the "He Disagreed..." note in LTK-

As I've mentioned before, PB's expression during "Did I get too close.." in TND-

Bond falling thru the heating vent after trying to slowly ease his way down in DR NO-

Necros' scream when falling to his death in TLD.

[Loomis]

Virtually all of QUANTUM OF SOLACE.

[Matt_13]

The excessive Sony product placement in Casino Royale while Bond is in the surveillance room of the Ocean Club.

[elizabeth]

Virtually all of QUANTUM OF SOLACE.

This, and Bond and the valet incident in CR 06.

[Guy Haines]

Three involving hardware:

FRWL - the boat chase at the end. Morzeny (Walter Gotell) shouting orders at the other SPECTRE boat crews, who seem to be a bunch of amateurs on some kind of training exercise than professionals out to get Bond ("SPECTRE Red, SPECTRE Green, you're firing too close.....", and so on). And the statement of the obvious as the three SPECTRE boats are being incinerated - "Quick as you can, JUMP!"

TB - Largo's yacht after it has converted into a hydrofoil. I know these vessels can be quite speedy, but this one seems to be rocket propelled as it heads for the rocks.

YOLT - I've mentioned this elsewhere, but it always amuses me that, as the SPECTRE rocket closes in on the second US spacecraft, there are live TV pictures of it happening, in Blofeld's control room. Presumably SPECTRE had a second satellite up there in space filming the whole event for posterity.

The excessive Sony product placement in Casino Royale while Bond is in the surveillance room of the Ocean Club.

Casino Royale is supposedly a film without gadgets, save for that very convenient first aid kit in the Aston Martin. In fact one "gadget" is key throughout the whole film, namely the mobile phone. From the "Ellipsis" code message to Vesper's texting of Mr White's phone number.

And I couldn't help but notice which company produced every one of those mobiles!

[Scottlee]

Might not have been 'unintentional' but...

Bond in OP flicking the top of the soldier's uniform as he's pretending to be El Torro (or whatever his name was).

[hilly]

Live and Let Die. As the double decker bus approaches the low bridge, the two pursuing policemen do the most amazing forced grins, in a "this is the bit where we're supposed to smile evilly" sort of way.
It's similar to Krest's "catalogue pose" pointing from the WaveKrest in Licence To Kill when Bond is water-skiing behind the sea-plane.

I've mentioned the traffic warden and his comedy French accent in Thunderball before, but equally amusing is how camp Largo subsequently looks as he gathers his overcoat around his shoulders and flounces across the road to SPECTRE HQ.

[Colombo]

For me it's that moment in TWINE after Pierce has this "profound/serious" moment of shooting a woman he loves- before diving into to Bospherous to save the twitish Chistmas Jones uttering the line "THOUGHT I'D FORGOTTEN YOU EH?" with an Oafish grin on his face.... sooo out of place.

One that always makes me laugh however is from YOLT where the control room announcer runs out of the exploding room repeating the line "Evacuate the controls! Evacuate the controls!" ...Maybe he was so used to echoing Blofelds commands that he developed a repitative speech defect : )

Virtually all of QUANTUM OF SOLACE.

This, and Bond and the valet incident in CR 06.

To be fair, the valet scene is an intentional comedy moment, as well as a plot point.

[A Kristatos]

Louis Jordan (slightly shakes his head, slowly): "Octopussy... Octopussy."

I actually thought that added to the intensity of the scene rather than being an unintentionally funny moment.

Then again maybe he was trying to seduce her instead!

[Mr. Blofeld]

I've mentioned the traffic warden and his comedy French accent in Thunderball before, but equally amusing is how camp Largo subsequently looks as he gathers his overcoat around his shoulders and flounces across the road to SPECTRE HQ.

In an even more hilarious discovery, I watched a scene in the '67 Casino Royale where a croupier tells Bond, "Pardon, monsieur?" in an identical fashion to the comedy traffic warden; after Bond nervously tells him his name, the croupier responds, "Ah, yes, Mr. Bond"... and it's obviously none other than Robert Rietty doing the line, which means that Rietty voiced both Largo and the traffic warden in Thunderball.

The scene is below, at around four minutes in:

Nice catch Blofeld! I would have never even caught that!

[Colossus]

I love YOLT but this part was just goofy when one of the politician guys is making a speech and goes "Russier and the United States". Who's Russier, is it his dog??

[hilly]

DAF. The fight between Bond, Blofeld and the guards. Blofeld's lunge at Bond across the trolley takes forever and looks as though Charles Gray has been shoved across it by unseen hands. Even more amusing though is the expression on the face of the guard who has the scalpels thrown at him. Cross-eyed gurning..never a good look..

[The Shark]

Pierce Brosnan's painface. That along with Bronsan and Sophie Marceau's horrendous acting in TWINE.

[bondrules]

Brosnan's bravado in man-to-man altercations. There is such a strange energy emanating from his body tours his opponent that makes one wonder if he'll rape the other fella once he has him beaten. It's comedic but at the same time makes one unconformable to watch.

[DamnCoffee]

Pierce Brosnan's painface.

!!!




I love his pain grunts as well. "ARRRRRRHHH. URRRRHHHHHH MMMMURGHHHHH!!!!"

For your consideration...

[JimmyBond]

Brosnan always oversold it. He should have took a cue from Roger Moore, all it takes is a well placed "oof" to get the point across.

[Mr. Blofeld]

Even more amusing though is the expression on the face of the guard who has the scalpels thrown at him. Cross-eyed gurning... never a good look...

Oddly enough, that was the same stuntman that Lazenby beat to a pulp in the surf during the PTS fight in OHMSS; shows how the difference in director can affect even the performance of the stunt fellas, I guess...

LMAO. Great find Sharkey! Now we only need one that encloses all four of his entries.....4 minutes of grunting Brozza

[DaveBond21]

I have to mention Roger's over-the-top reaction to Anya's trick cigarette lighter in TSWLM. He takes a few seconds to fall unconcious.

[Brannigan]

DAF_On the Oil rig the man doing the countdown. Apparently Blofeld paid him to do nothing more than announce the time until the laser hit his target, all the while the rig is exploding around him!

[hilly]

Licence to Kill- Dalton shouting "Dell-uh!" as he runs across the room to the late Mrs Leiter

Similarly the girl at the Pan-Am check-in desk in the previous scene. The way she cocks her eyebrow when she tells him that "some big drug dealer just escaped" always makes me laugh
