Funny / Mirror Mirror (2012)

Go To

  • The entire snark-heavy intro, with the Queen being a First-Person Smartass the entire way. Includes gems such as the Queen remarking that Snow White's parents probably named her that because it was the most pretentious name they could think of, describing the constant singing and dancing under the King's rule being because presumably no one had jobs back then, and extolling the virtues of the new queen before almost immediately revealing that it's herself that she's describing.
  • While tied up, Renbock mentions he's told Alcott before that he doesn't like them being this close. Have they been tied up like this before, then?
  • Once Snow arrives, she spends plenty of time Eating the Eye Candy on the Prince, to Renbock's faint bemusement.
    Renbock: We were ambushed by seven dwar...
    Alcott: Giants! Bloodthirsty giants!
  • Also, his absolutely terrible job convincing her he's not a prince.
  • Renbock warns Alcott that the Queen seems insane. Alcott brushes it off as all women getting crazy when a prince is around, and Renbock replies that there's a difference between "I'm in the same room as a prince" crazy and good, old-fashion psycho crazy.
    • As Alcott sends Renbock back to get guards, gold and clothes, Renbock echoes Snow's earlier demand ("only if you say please") from when she rescued them back in the woods. Alcott is a good sport about it and actually says please.
      Alcott: When you return, I pray you're wearing your pants.
      • Even funnier? We don't see Renbock again until Alcott's wedding day (though fortunately, to Snow, rather than the Queen).
  • This exchange:
    Brighton: You look fabulous, Your Majesty.
    Queen: Fabulous? Brighton, I haven't even begun to get ready yet.
    Brighton: Well, then, one can only imagine how fabulous-
    Queen: Shut up, Brighton.
  • The Queen's horrific beauty treatments, and warnings to her servants to try not to enjoy it.
    Queen: [Covered in all manner of muck] I can feel you smiling.
  • Snow and Alcott's Dance of Romance includes Snow awkwardly saying how nice it is to see him dressed... up so nicely this time, and both of them agreeing that his rabbit getup for the costume party is ridiculous.
    • Snow revealing that she's "kind of the princess".
      Alcott: What? You didn't tell me that!
      Snow: Well you didn't tell me that you were a prince!
      Alcott: I feared I'd look ridiculous!
      Snow: [meaningful look]
      Alcott: [Beat] Said the prince in the bunny hat.
    • The prince shoving aside other dancers when they try to take his position with Snow, and when Snow mentions that she thought they were supposed to be switching partners, Alcott casually says that yes, he thinks they are, and carries on talking.
  • The Queen's taste in men's fashion is abhorrent, apparently. Renbock complains that the clothes she gave him made him look like a pink profiterole, Alcott and Snow agree that his rabbit costume at the ball makes him look like an idiot, and when dining with the Queen, Alcott exasperatedly rips off his overly frilly sleeves when they keep draping over his plate.
  • After the Queen tells Alcott that Snow is dead, she gives him a literal second to process it before launching into attempting a marriage proposal.
  • The Prince and Snow's duel is a running Funny Moment combined with Moment of Awesome. The banter is great, as is the point where the Prince blocks one of her blows behind his back, without even looking.
    • This conversation:
    Napoleon: Idiot! Can't you see she loves him?
    Chuckles: Loves him? He tries to kill her today!
    Napoleon: Exactly. What do you think love is?
    Grimm: (picks up potato) I love you, Grub. (throws potato at Grub, but hits Napoleon) That was meant for him!
    Napoleon: Good aim.
    • Just before she knocks him out, Snow complains that he just had to be so darn cute.
  • The Queen yelling at her servants to get Alcott a shirt so that she can concentrate.
  • The entire puppy love scene.
    Prince: [Whines sadly at the pillow she threw out the window]
    Queen: [Clearly gleeful] Go get it! Go get it!
    • "There are pros and cons to this."
    • And when Alcott gets stolen by Snow and the dwarves.
      Alcott: [Love Potion-drugged and sobbing] You don't understand! I yearn for the nectar of her skin!
      • The line becomes much funnier when mocked by Snow and the Dwarves later.
    • Not to mention the various ways the Dwarves try to break the spell, ranging from Butcher punching him in the face repeatedly to Chuckles tickling him to Half-Pint hitting him with dust beaters. Snow's face just screams, "completely done with this."
  • "Love is someone passing the potatoes."
  • Any or all of Brighton's scenes.
  • The Running Gag with people getting their clothes robbed. "What is it with this kingdom?!"
    • Earlier, when the dwarves showed up for a third time to steal everyone's clothes, Alcott finally snaps. (Although he actually gets to keep his clothes this time).
      Alcott: No! You cannot do this to me again! (Butcher hits him on the back of the head with a silver goblet, knocking him out)
    • Also, the fact that Alcott was sent back to the palace without his shirt again is funny as it is. But it does raise some interesting questions as to just who it was that took the shirt off...
  • When heading out to fight the Beast alone, Snow locks Prince Alcott and the dwarves inside the house to prevent them from following. She explains through the door how she always used to read stories about the princess being saved by the prince at the end.
    Snow: I think it's time we changed that ending.
    Alcott: No, no, no, Snow, you're trying to mess with tried-and-true storytelling, it's been focus-grouped and it works, just let me save you!
  • "We really have to stop meeting like this."
    • The imposing Royal Guards decide to let Snow White leave the castle unopposed, and make a pinky promise with each other not to mention it to anyone.
    • When first fighting the Dwarves, the Prince can't find it in himself to stop teasing the dwarves after they have beaten him. Smash Cut to Alcott and his servant hanging upside down, naked and bound. Noticeably, when he talks to Snow later, he describes them as ferocious giants.
    Alcott: We were caught by surprise.
    The Queen: You went to the woods to catch the bandits and yet they caught you by surprise?"
  • Grimm tells Snow that she once told them because people are mean to you, you can steal from them, as long as they're not poor children. When the others protest that she didn't say that, he shrugs that he's taking poetic license.
  • The dwarves agree that her kingdom needs her. Half-Pint puts in, "I need you." (cue Dope Slap) "We need you."
  • In general, their whole Refuge in Audacity plan to get into the wedding.
    Snow: Excuse me. This is a stick-up.
    Napoleon: Give us your money. And your clothes.
  • Snow sits on Alcott's lap, goes for the kiss, the romantic music swells... and she buries her head in his shoulder and asks for a little privacy.
    Half-Pint: Do you think they're enjoying it?
    Grub: (not without some sympathy) Yeah.
    Half-Pint: A lot?
    Grub: Yeah.
  • After the kiss, Snow pulls away, and Alcott says, "The Queen..." (cue disappointed moans) "...is nothing compared to you."
  • She tells the Dwarves and Alcott she can think of no greater group of warriors to lead into battle...then charges out the door, locks it behind her, and declares it's her fight.
  • Cue Alcott shoulder-charging the door over and over again, and each time failing (it's a sturdy door, he's hunched over and can't bring his full weight to bear), and the dwarves cheering him on each time, until they finally remember that they have a key. At which point Alcott takes it, unlocks the door...and promptly locks it behind him again.
    Butcher: Why do we keep getting locked up in our own house?
    • Fortunately, they have a spare. When Grub bluntly points this out, Butcher grabs the key from him and clocks him in the face.
  • The "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue shows that each of the dwarves got a happy-ever-after ending. Except for Grub. He just ate lunch.
