Funny / An American Werewolf in London

• Jack's rather matter-of-fact first post mortem visit. Or the use of Mickey Mouse: "Hi, David!"
  • ..."can I have a piece of toast?"
• The Jump Scare of Jack's appearance in the mirror is mitigated by his goofy grin.
• David waking up nude in the zoo after his first transformation. "A naked American man stole my balloons."
  • "...what."
  • Even better: the actress hadn't been told that David Naughton would be nude.
  • What makes it even more amusing is due to the Fridge Logic that because the zoo's wolves were not afraid of David and even friendly towards him, that means the seemingly demonic and bloodthirsty beast had simply dropped into the zoo to mingle and play with them.
• The scene from the porno film "See You Next Wednesday":
  "You promised never to do this kind of thing again!"
  "I never promised you any such thing!"
  "Not you, you twit. Her!"
  "I've never seen you before in my life."
  "..Oh, sorry." (Leaves)
  • After which one of the boys quips "Good movie".
• Jack telling David, "Oh, be serious!" in the porn theater. Mind you, he's a funny-looking (yet still creepy) corpse puppet by this point.
  • It's the eye roll that sells it.
• "I didn't mean to call you a meat loaf, Jack."
• The suicide suggestions, especially around toward the end.
  David: Thank you, you're all so thoughtful.
  Joseph: A knife!
  Harold: An electric shock!
  Judith: A car crash!
  Gerald: You can throw yourself in front of a tube.
  Alf: Drowning.
• Harry and Judith. While all of David's other victims are (understandably) outraged at having been mauled to death and being condemned to limbo until David dies, they remain downright chipper.
  Harry: A gun would be good.
  Judith: Yes. You just put the gun to your head and pull the trigger!
• Also, the ironic fact that the dead victims waste so much time brainstorming suggestions for how David might kill himself that they run out the clock until moonrise and he transforms anyway.
• That poor police officer knocking over the trays in the doctor's office. It works because it's so incredibly awkward in an otherwise fairly tense situation.
• The duo's reaction to realizing that there's a terrifying howl in the distance and they've gotten lost in the moors because they ignored advice to stick to the roads: a simultaneous "Oops."
• The orderly's response to Alex grilling him about David's condition: "Miss, I push things around. What happens to them, I don't know."
• When David attempts to get himself arrested by saying various forms of slander in front of a policeman.
  David: QUEEN ELIZABETH IS A MAN! PRINCE CHARLES IS A FAGGOT! WINSTON CHURCHILL WAS FULL OF SHIT! SHAKESPEARE'S FRENCH! FUCK! SHIT! CUNT! SHIT!
• David wandering around Alex's apartment, set to "Bad Moon Rising".
• During a final phone call to his parents, David gets sidetracked into complaining that Mom and Dad left his little sister alone at age ten: something they'd never have done when he was that young.
• The ending. David is shot, Alex is left in tears... and the film cuts to The Marcel's doo-wop version of "Blue Moon" playing over the credits that list Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy as being part of the cast.
• There's this little gem in the Italian dub: the truck diver telling David and Jack "The best to ya" at the beginning is translated into him wishing them the Italian equivalent of "Break a leg" which is "In bocca al lupo" meaning Into the wolf's mouth ^note to which you're meant to reply with "Crepi il lupo", as in "May that wolf die"., which is amusingly quite appropriate to the events that will unfold.
