Funny / Jurassic World Dominion

• One of the viral marketing shorts has a Baryonyx lounging by a swimming pool, with everyone present taking photos and videos, all completely unbothered by the other.
• Back in the third film, Grant made a point of stating that he did not witness the Buck rex's San Diego rampage from the second film. When he's trying to interest some teens at his dino dig, one of them shows a YouTube clip of the San Diego incident to drive home that digging for fossils is old business.
• Alan Grant meets Ellie Sattler for the first time in years. Upon finding out that she has divorced, he begins to act like a teenager being with his crush, stuttering his sentences and hiding his old photo of them. It's also quite endearing.
• Alan's tent includes a model skeleton of a pre-2014 Spinosaurus, the very same animal that nearly killed him several times about twenty years ago in Jurassic Park III. Despite the Spinosaurus being one of the deadliest dinosaurs Alan ever faced, he can't help but respect it enough to keep a model of it, just like the raptors.
• When Ramsey enthuses about meeting Ian, Alan sardonically asks him how much time he spends with him.
• Alan and Ellie express reservations about the chips that Biosyn placed inside their captured dinosaurs to ensure their docility. Ramsey asks if they know how many volts the fences at Jurassic Park used. To this, Alan replies with a flat "Yeah," clearly recalling what happened to Tim Murphy.
• While watching Ian wrap up his lecture about humanity's inability to handle genetic power, Alan's got a grin on his face that says "Yep, that's the Ian Malcolm I remember."
• Shortly after reuniting with Alan and Ellie, Ian tells them that with the doomsday clock ticking, "it's always darkest just before eternal nothingness", prompting Alan to reply "what?" in confusion. Even after three decades, Alan is still baffled by Ian's philosophical yet eccentric quips.
  • Ian and Ellie have clearly adapted to the digital age much better than Alan has, with his confused and concerned reaction to Ellie saying Ian "slid into her DMs". It also makes it hilariously clear that the two of them have Gen Z aged kids while Alan doesn't.
  • To cover him telling Ellie how to sneak into Biosyn's locust section, Ian orders two cappuccinos, using the noise and steam caused by the barista to prevent being overheard. Meanwhile, Alan is standing there complaining to the barista about how he doesn't like cappuccinos and misses the entire conversation.
• Rainn Delacourt getting pinned down by a human-sized juvenile Carnotaurus... and a ferret-sized adult Lystrosaurus,
  • DeWanda Wise^note Kayla Watts' actor took a liking to the Lystrosaurus's animatronic, and gave it the nickname Leonard, which makes the scene even funnier.
  • An extended scene foreshadows the jaw strength of the Lystrosaurus when it fights and decapitates an Oviraptor with a single bite, leaving the headless Oviraptor body to flail around like that of a chicken.
  • The way this happens is equally hilarious. The Oviraptor is strutting around the ring huffing and crowing like a WWE wrestler showboating at the start of the match about what he's going to do to his opponent until "Leonard" decides he's heard enough and chomps off its head as if to say "Awww, SHADDUP!!"
• In a dark sense of way, a man is casually riding his scooter through the streets of Malta when he notices the escaped Carnotaurus behind him, only to be ambushed and devoured by the escaped Allosaurus shortly after.
• Poor Carnotaurus gets on the receiving end once again. This time by having the Allosaurus kill-stealing it twice, one of which is the moment mentioned above.
  • A deleted scene that is in the extended-release has the Allosaurus actually tossing a random bystander at the Carnotaurus and instead of gratefully snapping them up, the Carno just stands there looking perplexed as if wondering "Did that just happen?".
• Maisie, having clearly picked up Owen and Claire's Deadpan Snarker tendencies, flips off Wu.
  • There's also the manner in which she does it. When Wu tries to sympathize with how she's been hidden for years and then kidnapped out of the blue, she makes a shrugging gesture whilst Flipping the Bird. It's as though she's simultaneously saying "I know, right?" and dropping the F-Bomb somewhere in there.
• Alan hesitates over grabbing a locust while he and Ellie are in the Hexapod Allies lab. Ellie asks him if he can get, and he exasperatedly replies "Of course I can get it!"
• When the Biosyn ATC refuses to allow Kayla's plane to land on their airstrip, Kayla recognizes one of them as Denise and threatens to reveal an encounter they had in Dubrovnik if the plane does not land. Denise quickly decides to grant Kayla permission to land and anxiously tries to tell Dodgson that Kayla is referring to another Denise who is also working in Biosyn.
• Dodgson confirming his latest command ^note  Shut down the Aerial Deterrent System to his security guy in a mocking tone.
• The Quetzalcoatlus that attacks Kayla's plane. It knocks out both engines with its beak, observes its handiwork, then squawks once as if to say ''Well, my work here is done. Happy landings, suckers!" before flying off.
  • Another interpretation is: "What, this strange inedible raptor can breathe fire?! Screw This, I'm Outta Here!"
• When Ramsey finds them after their misadventure in the arthropod lab, Alan and Ellie try to make up a cover story for getting lost, faking laughs. Then Ramsey reveals he's working to expose Biosyn's corruption.
• Dodgson being startled by one of his employees who suddenly shows up behind a glass pane.
• Shortly after barely escaping the swimming Pyroraptor from the freezing water, Owen calls the dinosaur an "asshole". The Pyroraptor then bursts from the ice with a screech as if it heard what Owen said and were yelling "WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!"
• The Therizinosaurus slaps a deer flying off the screen in its introduction to establish how territorial it is, but then it immediately started eating the berries the deer was eating, making it seem as though that was why it killed the deer.
• When Alan and Ellie are having a little heart-to-heart in the Amber Mine, Maisie abruptly asks them if they have any kids. Ellie awkwardly clarifies that she has two kids but not with Alan, and an equally awkward Alan affirms that he and Ellie are just friends. Maisie is not convinced.
• Ian asks Ramsey if the sanctuary's roads are safe, and Ramsey advises him to drive fast. This is a clever nod to Ian's urging to "Must go faster" while fleeing from Rexy in the very first JP film.
• Ian calmly tries to figure out the four-digit code to unlock the Amber Mine's locked gates while also telling the panicking Alan, Ellie, and Maisie to stay positive despite the fact that they are about to be killed by a pack of hungry Dimetrodons.
  Ian: I didn't know there was going to be a code.
  • Ian's idea for a possible code? Miles Davis's birthday, as if Biosyn would decide to use a famous trumpeter's birthday for their security system.
• Ian casually calls the flaming locusts "bananas".
• As Ian's stolen jeep teeters on the edge of the road, Maisie suggests leaning to the left, to which Ian sarcastically responds "That's very constructive. Thank you, Maisie."
• Alan and Owen simultaneously order the rest of the group to "Don't move." And Alan gives Owen a glance.
• Ian's dismayed remark when the group is confronted by the Giganotosaurus, which sadly wasn't in the final film:
  Ian: Bigger. Why do they always have to go bigger?
• Dodgson throws an angry fit when it is revealed that Maisie has escaped with Alan and Ellie on the underground train along with the evidence of Biosyn's involvement in the locust plague. It's just so pathetic that it's hysterical to watch.
  • Even more so in the grand scheme of things. Outside of the first movie alone, Dodgson didn't have much characterization beyond the mysterious head of Biosyn who assigned Nedry to steal the embryos. It could have to do with the fact that when compared to the sloppy comic relief Nedry was, Dodgson came off as serious. The movie up until now even plays him up as a Knight of Cerebus. Now, his little temper tantrum spectacularly shatters any illusions he's anything but a silly man himself.
• Ian nonchalantly tells Owen and Claire that he is not a fan of Jurassic World.
• Ian buttoning his shirt after Kayla gives him a side-glance.
• Ian, of all people, is holding a rifle and standing guard, but quite visibly has only the faintest idea what to actually do with it. Ex-military man Owen is not impressed.
  Owen: Easy, Rambo.
  • Becomes Hilarious in Hindsight when one remembers how he snarked at Eddie Carr's Lindstradt Air Rifle back in The Lost World and has to be told by Eddie not to accidentally shoot himself in the foot with it.
• Once Owen tells Ian about taming raptors, Ian comments about how he's not as skilled with animals.
  Ian: I had a dog once. Humped my leg so much, I got a callus on my shin bone. True story.
• Alan exasperatedly grumbles that the aerial deterrent system's safety features is going to get the group killed.
• Ian's remark on Maisie naming a Velociraptor "Beta." He's basically amused by the fact that people are starting to treat a juvenile apex predator of prehistoric times like a puppy.
• Ian, when Owen says he promised Blue he'd get Beta back.
  Ian: You made a promise? To a dinosaur?
• Ian asks Ellie and Claire why they are skulking instead of sprinting toward the controls. He is clearly oblivious to the sight of dead and dying locusts on the floor.
• Ian was annoyed at Hammond's difficulty in guiding Ellie through Jurassic Park's maintenance system. Now Ian is being annoying and unhelpful in guiding Ellie and Claire through Biosyn's system.
• When some of the locusts are starting to attack Ellie and Claire, Ian calmly tells them that they are going to figure it out and that it is very complex.
• The fact that Dodgson's end came at the claws of a Dilophosaurus, the exact same species of dinosaur that got Nedry. He has no luck with that species, eh?
  • Just like how the motormouthed Nedry ridiculously tried talking to the reptile, Dodgson casually asking the Dilophosaurs, "What's your story?" before they kill him is also pretty funny.
• When Wu offers to help fix his past transgressions, Ian is clearly about to go into a spiel about how every bad thing that's ever happened in the franchise is his fault and why they shouldn't trust him... before he's distracted by noticing Owen is carrying Beta.
  Ian: Is that a dinosaur on your shoulder?
• After killing the Giganotosaurus by pushing it to the claws of the Therizinosaurus, Rexy roars at the gigantic herbivore and it backs away. Like Rexy was saying "WHO ELSE WANTS SOME OF DEEBO?! YOU?!" and the Therizinosaurus was saying "NOPE!"
  • Even funnier when the Therizinosaurus practically looks at its claws for a moment after getting the Giganotosaurus off of its claws as if to say "I can't believe that actually worked!"
  • One also can imagine based off of their poses (Rexy roaring triumphantly and the Therizinosaurus spreading its arms and screeching) that the Therizinosaurus is SO territorial, it's trying to pick a fight with Rexy after HELPING her.
• It's been almost 30 years, but Rexy has some habits that are hard to break. For the fourth time in six movies, Rexy suddenly appears at a plot-critical moment to save the heroes from something even worse. You can imagine Rexy's thought process, as she reached the BioSyn compound. "Hey, Ellie! Alan! It's been forever, how are you guys? In trouble again, eh? Hang back, I got this!" It's hilarious to imagine that Rexy keeps saving the heroes because she's actually quite fond of them, and that's why she appointed herself as their dinosaurian guardian angel.
• On meeting Owen and having heard about him, Alan seems in disbelief that it was possible to train Raptors. When Maisie starts to command Beta, that immediately makes the incredulous Alan a believer.
• Remember how in Jurassic Park: The Game, Gerry Harding expressed concern that releasing a giant mosasaur (a Tylosaurus in that case) into the ocean would result in the extinction of humpback whales? The ending shows the Mosasaurus (which is even bigger than Tylosaurus) peacefully mingling with a pod of humpbacks, ensuring that the whales' extinction will not come anytime sooner or later. If anything, having a Mosasaurus as their protector and ally could, in fact, ensure their survival. Would you pick a fight with a fully grown Mosasaurus?
• When Claire and Dr. Sattler enter the server room and find it filled with locust, Claire says "Nobody said there'd be bugs." They're in the server room, the room most likely to be filled with bugs (glitches).
• Ellie comments "Damn, that felt good" after cutting the wire with an ax to reroute power to the aerial deterrent system. And Dual Wielding taser batons at the woken locusts like a Jedi.
