What is the funniest moment on Firefly?

YINYANG

Wednesday, October 25, 2006 3:27 AM

It depends on the mood I'm in, and what I'm paying attention to (seeing as how I would be on my tenth or eleventh run of the show). But, usually, the funny moments come when Alan makes a face - any face, really - that reflects either his mood, or the general mood. 'Cause, come on, Alan making faces is funny (and pretty darn cute, too).

In 'OUR MRS REYNOLDS' episode when Saffron was crying because Mal would not accept her as his wife,
Kaylee says, "It's ok honey, he makes everyone cry. he's a monster."
Mal says: "I'm not a monster!"

I can't help laughing. It was just a very, very childish reply but delivered perfectly!

there are several,
but one is in Shindig when River puts on the Dayton accent and talks to Badger, and then Jayne says: "Exactly the kind of diversion we could have used."

OMR - when Saffron does her speil from the scriptures about the man's plough and Mal says, "Woa! Good Bible!" In fact, that whole scene: "I'm going to a special hell."

Ai ya it is so hard to choose...

Wash: "You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress?"

Jayne: (mock reading Simon's journal) "Dear Diary...today I was pompous and my sister was crazy." (flips page) "Today, we were kidnapped by hill folk never to be seen again. It was the best day ever."

Mal: "Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. Whaddya suppose that makes us?"
Zoe: "Big damn heroes, sir."
Mal: "Ain't we just!"

Book: "If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater."

Kaylee: (cheerfully) "Oh well let's see...we killed Simon and River, stole a bunch of medicine, and the Cap'n and Zoe are springin' the others got snatched by the feds."

Mal: "Fear's nothin' to be ashamed of, doctor."
Simon: "This isn't fear. This is anger."
Mal: "Well. Kinda hard to tell one from t'other, face like yours."
Simon: "Well I imagine if it were fear, my eyes would be wider."
Mal: "Hmm. I'll keep a look out for that next time."

Kaylee: "But he coulda made 'em family. 'stead of keepin' Simon from seein' I was there. And I carried such a torch! And we coulda...goin' on a year now and I ain't had nothin' twixt my nethers weren't run on batteries!"

Drunken Wash a treat.

Drugged Jayne (..all bendy) a treat.

Jaynestown:
SIMON: Just stop describing me.

There are too many...

Book popping back around corner: "The special Hell!"

Also from OMR:
MAL: How drunk was I last night?
JAYNE: I dunno. I passed out.

This could go on all night.

Everything everyone else said.

and...

Mal: "Do you have time to do my hair?" in the Train Job

Zoe: "I was weak" in the Train Job

Wash: "I was in a firefight....ok, I was in a fire....well actually I was fired from a fry cook opportunity" in War stories

And of course: the "alternate" Haven scene from Serenity:

Nathan: Get those bodies together....... I wan't them laid out over the nose of the ship. Put Book front and centre, he is our friend, we should honor him. Kaylee, get that kid who's taking a dirt nap with baby Jesus, we need a hood ornament. Jayne! Try not to steal too much of their shit"

Wash(looking down, muffled): No.

The whole scene in "Out of Gas" where they recruit Jayne.

WHIMSICALNBRAINPAN

Friday, October 27, 2006 12:07 AM

There are so many, the scene at the end of the duel in Shindig; "Well, I'm all right.", the opening scene in Our Mrs. Reynolds; "How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people?"; the scene at the end of War Stories where Mal tells Zoe that they must make love, "Now somethin' about that is just downright unsettlin'."

But I always get a good laugh from River in Jaynestown after she has seen Book with his hair down and he tries to approach her at the end of the episode. Everytime I hear her say "Just keep walking preacher-man." I laugh and I honestly couldn't tell you why. It just gets me every time.

Without a doubt the funniest moment is in "Objects in Space."

River: I know you have questions.
Mal: That would be why I just asked them.
River: But we don't have much time captain. I need you to trust me.
Mal: Am I dreaming?
River: We all are.
Mal: (rolls eyes)
River: Don't make faces.
Mal: (suddenly nervous)

I like the subtlety (you can't just listen to it, you have to watch it) and how CONVINCING Nathan is in his sudden fear and confusion, like maybe she might ACTUALLY be posessing the spaceship. lol.

Don't make faces.

My second favorite funniest moment. It might be the only scene in the series or the movie (that I've noticed, anyways) that makes these guys seem like the average boys you went to classes with. In this scene they're co-conspirators in their hedonism, the captain-mercenary relationship is temporarily relaxed and replaced by the bond that only alcohol creates.

Wash's non-verbal reactions always get me. For example, the thumbs up he gives Zoe when she calls Mal "sir" in the pilot right after they were discussing how Mal likes to be called sir. His reaction in Trash to the tissue up Mal's nose is priceless.

I also love me some snarky Simon. In the face of danger with his sister behaving strangely he still smart mouths the bounty hunter with the gun pointed at him.

Mal: "Oh GOD, I can't know that!"

Both of them perfect delivery.

No one has mentioned,

Already mentioned, but Book with the hair and the whole interaction between he, Zoe and River makes my sides hurt. And the one where Mal and Inara are discussing when she fell and hit her head. Mal - "You didn't really fall and hit your head did you? Inara - (with surrender in her eyes) No Mal - (grinning) I knew you let her kiss you."

This is a great thread.

For number one I'd have to go with Book's hair. Not just River's reaction the but way it's followed up with Zoe's too.

Of course there's Jaynestown when they see the statue and Simon says,"This must be what it feels like to go insane." Then later when the guitar player starts singing "Jayne, the man the call Jayne." he says,"No this must be what if feels like to go insane."

Friday, October 27, 2006 11:22 PM

Impossible to choose just one. Many of my favorites people have already listed above. But, one which I *ALWAYS* love to see is the Operative.....

(fade to the Reaver fleet howling out of the Ion Cloud onto unsuspecting Alliance goons)
Operative (in increasingly high frantic tones): "Target the Reaver Ships. *Target The Reaver Ships*! Target *Anyone*! ** SOMEBODY FIRE** !!!!"

:)

Everyone has mentioned most of my favorites already. But I'm going to add this one..

In Jaynestown when River is trying to fix Book's bible " Noah's ark is going to be a problem " I just crack up every time.

Too..many...choices! Can't..pick!

I loved Book's hair. He just looked so much like Einstein at that moment, I thought she was freaking out over seeing the living face of a god of physics or something until the dialogue later. Zoe's reaction was priceless.

Yeah: too, too many choices.

Saturday, October 28, 2006 12:25 AM

It's been said, of course, so I'm hardly original.

Regardless, for me the entire, "Did he just go crazy and fall asleep," scene is one long drawn out funniest moment and the moment he collapses while grabbing at the light like little angels is the absolute funniest normal sized moment.

Yes, agree that the Jayne Bendy scene is probably
the best protracted funny scene, for the acting
of all participants, and for the lines.

But single lines? There are others as yet not
mentioned.

JAYNE: That's why I don't kiss 'em on the mouth.
And note reactions.

BAD COP (looking up at Jayne): That hat makes you
look like an idiot.

SIMON asks what's Jayne's job -- on the ship
MAL: Public relations.
The way Nathan nearly throws this line away and
quickly stuffs food in his mouth -- perfect.

This is my first response and I haven't figured out how to do the official quote thing yet ...

Oh I forgot about the whole fixing the Bible exchange. How about the end of the episode when Book approaches her while she's editing the Good Book and she says,"Keep movin'Preacherman."

I think Nathan is a comic at heart. Wasn't he on a comedy? Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place?

Tuesday, October 31, 2006 4:45 AM

My two favs in the series are Book's hair ("Scary hair!") in Jaynestown and Jayne's line in Our Mrs reynolds of "That's why I never kiss 'em on the mouth."

Both those make me laugh hysterically every time.

I do like Jayne's little dialogue in the movie, though:

"I'll kill a man in a fair fight...or if I think
he's gonna start a fair fight...or if he bothers me, or if there's a woman...or if I'm getting paid. Mostly only when I'm getting paid."

Heh. That's our Jayne....

In Jaynestown, after Kaylee and Simon talked about him not swearing, and he said that he swears when apropriate. Then, after seeing the Jayne statue, he reacted with "son of a ..." (don't remember off the top of my head if he finished or not) and Kaylee got this look of surprise and joy on her face.

I could stand to hear a little more.

Hey Everyone...thank each and everyone of you! What a great thread...of course my wife now thinks I'm clinical and kept looking out from her home office to see I'm "really" okay as I laugh and giggle hysterically as I remember the scenes from your comments...

I can't believe no one mentioned either of these two scenes...Kaylee being recruited...that whole scene is very funny...Kaylee, "You're left coupling is bad I saw it when I was lying down there...on my back." The expressions of Mal and the prior mechanic Mester...priceless.

Also in the Pilot episode when Mal tells Simon that Kaylee is dead...then Simon goes running to the infirmary only to see Kaylee talking with the Preacher and he says, "He's insane." Then they cut away to the bridge and Zoe, Wash, Jane, and Mal are all there laughing and Mal is describing the look on Simon's face. Wash: "You're insane." Mal: "I'm a bad man."

Thanks again...I have to watch the series again....

Well, looks like things are going to get interesting. Define interesting. Oh god Oh god we're all going to die?

Any scene with Jayne in his hat!

Jayne again with the bet you wish we had some granades.

River looking down from the roof at the end of the movie.

Zoe: do you really think any of us are going to survive this
Jayne: I might.

Same battle, Kaylee's I'm going to live!

Wash's mantra as they fly in to land, (I often say it when I am driving through a tight gap!)

I know most are from Serenity the Movie but most of the best Series one's are already stated.

My best moment is any where Simon is with River during one of her episodes and she becomes dead serious and mocks him! classic.

Thursday, November 2, 2006 6:12 AM

My top vote would have to be "I knew you let her kiss you!" followed by that priceless look on Inara's face. The whole "Mercy is the mark of a great man," sequence would be a close second for me.

Not sure how most folks react to it, but I never fail to get a kick out of Wash's blindfolded and Woody-Allenesque delivery of "Right. Less talking. She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic." Since all of Firefly's humor is character-based, Wash is the only one who could get away with such an outright joke.

Great minds think alike. My other favorite funny quote is in Our Mrs.Reynolds when Mal is eating when Wash and Zoe walk in.

WASH: Is there more where that came from?
SAFFRON: I didnt mean to make enough for your friends. But everything is layed out on the counter if you like to cook for your husband?
WASH: Wha (laughing nervously) Isnt she quaint? I'm just not hungry.

I love the Alliance/Lion exchange in Objects, great as you don't often get simple mishearings in a script and they just shrug it off, makes it real which increases the laughter.

Whoa. Good tag line. :-)
The nail-nibble is the image I always get when
I think of that scene.

"Have good sex." Yes!

Also
SIMON: Are you a bounty hunter?
EARLY: No. (looks into a door) I'm a bounty hunter.

In OMR, after the initial cargo-bay scene with
Saffron, Mal walks out, asking with annoyance if
he is the only one aboard who doesn't think it's
funny. He ignores Inara, but she is visible as
he walks past, and it's clear she finds it
decidedly un-funny.

In "Trash" when Mal and Inara are fighting:

Inara: What was the cargo?
Mal: ...They were dolls...
Inara: They were little geisha dolls with big heads that wobbled!!
Mal: Hey, people LOVE those!!!

It might not be the most funny one in the whole series, but the way he says that last line always makes me giggle.
And then there's also the one from the Our Mrs. Reynolds deleted scene with River saying that she wanted Book to marry her and Simon...that whole scene is pretty funny.

River: We'll take care of each other...I'll knit!

Love keeps her in the air when she outta fall down, tells you she's hurting before she keels. Makes her a home.

There are numerous, numerous funny moments, Joss is an amazing writer. I'd have to say: Wash- Oh my god it's groutesque! Hey there's something in a jar (I'm not sure if I got that quite right but you guys know what I'm saying). Or just Simon's face the entire Hero of Canton song in Jaynestown. Oh and the whole scene where Jayne, Zoe and Mal are at the Alliance friendly bar, "blow a knew crater in this little moon".

Mal-"Well, look at this. Appears we got here just in the nick of time! What does that make us?" Zoe-"Big Damn Heroes, Sir!"
