History Funny / Coraline

--> '''Other Mother:''' Now, I think you're being silly, dear...nobody believes in ghosts anyway -- that's because they're all such liars.

--> '''Coraline''': There's seriously something wrong with that boy.

--> '''Coraline''': Wow, this looks [[BuffySpeak delic-yummy]].

** Coraline berates Wybie for being so careless and vows to never speak to him again. Of course, [[{{Bathos}} you can go ahead and play a game of tic-tac-toe]] with Wybie...then never speak to him again and go back to the house.

* While it does lead to an Awesome moment later on, Coraline telling her mom the picnic blanket she's borrowing is protective coloration is this.

-->'''Coraline''': [[TemptingFate What rain?]] (cue thunderclap and torrential rainfall)

* Coraline decides to have chocolate cake for lunch once she notices her parents aren't back. She buys two bottles of limeade to finish off too.

--> '''Other Mother:''' Now, I think you're being silly, dear...nobody believes in ghosts anyway--that's because they're all such liars.

* Wybie telling Coraline to wear gloves next time because the stick she's been using to dowse for the past 10 minutes was poison oak.
* When Wybie gets distracted mid-petting the Cat, the Cat rigidly tips over, four legs in the air as he is interrupted.
* After Coraline finds the hot water tank, right before she marks down the hot water tank, we see "12 disgusting bugs!" written down. Then when she presses a button, it causes a power surge and causes some problems on Dad's computer, making him yell "[[BigNo NOOOOOO!]]" and Coraline gets an "OhCrap" expression on her face, before she runs back to the closet, puts a label "DON'T PUSH" back on and then presses the button, causing everything to go back to normal and then she walks out, trying to act like she didn't do anything.

* Mrs Jones tries to keep Coraline occupied by suggesting she visits the downstairs neighbours Miss Spink and Forcible. Coraline immediately points out that Mrs Jones herself has called them dingbats, to which she responds with a blunt "Mm-hm."
* When the Other Mother Suggests that she and Coraline later play hide and seek in the rain:
-->'''Coraline''': [[TemptingFate What rain?]] (Cue thunderclap and torrential rainfall.)
* Coraline's Father asking her if she has any "magic mud" because he has a terrible case of writer's rash on his [[CurseCutShort -]]

-->'''Miss Spink''': Giraffes don't just fall from the sky, Miriam! [[BrickJoke (Cue the stuck-on-ceiling bowl of sweets falling and shattering on the ground.)]]
* "You're just like them!". Might also be a ShoutOut to ''Franchise/SilentHill''.
* Fridge-Funny: Ever notice the Other Mother (and everyone in the Other World) never refers to Other Wybie by his name? They normally call him "[Coraline's] Friend". This gives the impression that [[NotSoAboveItAll even the Other Mother]] thought his name was [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude too silly]] to say out loud.

* MY KINGDOOOOOOOMMM FOR A HOOOOOOOORRRSSSEEEEE!!!! *crash*

** If you look closely at Other Spink's performance, you will see one of the background sailors glairing with [[PortraitPaintingPeephole eye holes]] at her like he can't take his attention off of her!

* The Other Father and Bobinsky real nightmarish form is Both NightmareFuel and PlayedForLaughs.

* The RunningGag of characters [[HeKnowsAboutTimedHits deliberately breaking the fourth wall]] to casually explain game controls to Coraline. She just goes along with it without question. Even ''Other Mother'' gets in on the act.

** After clearing the minigame, Wybie runs over to apologize to Coraline, she him gives an expression that is ''priceless''.

* When Coraline returns to the Other World in Chapter 4, she finds Other Mother has made her a fantastic dinner party waiting for her:

* Wybie telling Coraline to wear gloves next time because the stick she's been using to dowse for the past 10 minutes was poison oak, which led to the page picture.

* When Wybie gets distracted mid-petting the Cat, the Cat rigidly tips over, four legs on the air as he is interrupted.

* At the end of the FoodGorn dinner scene, Coraline asks her doll doppelgänger "Do you think they're trying to poison me?" and then makes her nod.

* In the book, Coraline writes a story on her father's computer:

* In the book, the name of the man upstairs who claims to train mice is never named until the end, when Coraline learns from Spink and Forcible that it's Mr. Bobo. She then realizes that she missed out on a great opportunity, as how often can you call someone "Mr. Bobo"?

* In the movie after Coraline finds the hot water tank, right before she marks down the hot water tank, we see "12 disgusting bugs!" written down. Then when she presses a button, it causes a power surge and causes some problems on Dad's computer, making him yell "[[BigNo NOOOOOO!]]" and Coraline gets an "OhCrap" expression on her face, before she runs back to the closet, puts a label "DON'T PUSH" back on and then presses the button, causing everything to go back to normal and then she walks out, trying to act like she didn't do anything.

* As you go through the game, interacting with certain objects will get you a sideshow of photos to look at. Interacting with the banana slugs on the dumpster near the barn will get photos of Wybie playing around with the bananas slugs. Coraline quips:

** After clearing the minigame, Wybie runs over to apologize to Coraline, she him gives a DeathGlare that is priceless.

--> '''Coraline''': Wow, this look [[BuffySpeak delici-yummy]].

* It occurs in a NightmareFuel moment, but when the Other Parents try to get Coraline to sew buttons on her eyes so she can stay there forever, the Other Father is about to say that the needle is "so sharp she won't feel a thing" when the Other Mother angrily kicks him under the table as if to say [[SayingTooMuch "quit telling her things!"]]
