Funny / Liam Neeson

Go To

  • Him reading ''Boyfriend'' by Justin Bieber. From his incredibly deadpan delivery of "but I'd really like to blow" and that face he makes while saying "swag, swag, swag" as if he's wondering what it means.
  • He met his first confirmed fan on The Graham Norton Show, and was requested to make his famous line from Taken.
  • His Life's Too Short appearance, where he horribly fails at doing improv, because his acts keep taking dark turns.
    • Additionally, the clip bleeps out whose name he says when he pretends "a well-known homosexual actor" gave him AIDs. If you can read lips, it appears he says: "lip read". Sly, Mr. Neeson. Sly.
  • His appearance on Nerdist when Chris Hardwick asked him to make an answering machine message and he gave his famous Taken line followed by "So please leave a message after the beep."
  • When people watched The LEGO Movie for the first time, many assumed the soft, wimpy voice of the "Good Cop" Split Personality to Neeson's very Neeson-esque, Two-Faced Bad Cop was done by another actor. It wasn't. Just the sight of him doing a few wild takes made the voice director and crew crack up during recording.
  • Neeson notoriously has a real-life Gag Penis. During the filming of a movie, he and the cast and crew went skinny-dipping. When he emerged naked from the water, he was greeted with stares. He dryly asked "Doesn't yours shrink in the water?"
  • Him reading a bedtime story on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
  • At CONAN in 2012, he mentioned a story of a elderly couple who mistook him for Ralph Fiennes and asked him for an autograph. Instead of disappointing them, he played along and signed "Ralph Fiennes" instead. Doubling as a Heartwarming Moment.
  • When doing some dialogue looping under the supervision of Bruce Campbell (who was helping his overworked friend Sam Raimi out) on Darkman, Neeson proved to have a sense of humor about his earlier, mostly undistinguished, roles.
    Bruce: Hey Liam, I caught the end of The Bounty the other day and could have sworn that was you.
    Bruce: What do you mean?
    Liam: Well, my big challenge each day was to see which of Mel's shoulders I could get behind. Usually it was the left one, but sometimes it was the right.
