Funny / Florence Foster Jenkins

Go To

  • The movie builds very well to Florence's first singing lesson. Even if you know what's coming, it's still hysterically funny, made even funnier with Cosme's deer-in-headlights face. Hell, Cosme bursts into hysterical giggles as soon as he's in the elevator.
    • Everyone else in the elevator, not knowing why he's laughing, simply see a weird little giggling guy. The last bit with the elevator operator (who looks like Boris Karloff or a stone golem) glaring at him after he steps off the elevator is also a comedic touch.
  • Agnes hears Florence sing for the first time and starts cackling so hard she has to be quickly escorted out. She crawls out of the room.
    Agnes (LITERALLY rolling on the floor): She is the worst goddamn singer in the entire world!
  • Florence's obsession with potato salad. She's somehow convinced that if she ever runs out, her parties and luncheons will be a disaster. At one point, we see exactly how St. Clair and Kitty prepare for those functions—they quite literally fill a bathtub with potato salad, and ladle it out as they need more.
