Funny / 101 Dalmatians (1996)

• Roger designs a video-game with a ugly-looking dogcatcher as the main villain hunting down a Dalmatian in the sewer. He shows it to his dog Pongo during mid-development, hoping it would scare him. However, instead of looking terrified at the villain's design, Pongo gives a bored yawn, implying that he's not impressed of what Roger did with the design of the dogcatcher, much to Roger's dismay.
• A list of Cruella dialogue:
  Cruella: Do you like spots, Fredric?
  Fredric: I don't believe so, Madame. I thought we liked stripes this year.
  Cruella: What kind of sycophant are you?
  Fredric: What kind of sycophant would you like me to be?
  
  Cruella: More good women have been lost to marriage than to war, famine, disease and disaster. You have talent, darling. Don't squander it.
  
  Cruella: Alonzo, the drawing. — Beat — Take the drawing from Anita! And hand it to me! Is that difficult?!
  (Alonzo does exactly that, albeit heavily shaken)
  Cruella: (snatches the drawing, and much calmer and deadpan) Thank you! Now go stand somewhere until I need you.
  • The simple fact that she called her butler to fetch the sketch from the woman right in front of her.
  • And then there's this delightful, yet twisted exchange at the end of the scene:
  Cruella: It is rather amusing, isn't it?
  Anita: What is?
  Cruella: Well, if we make this coat, it'd be as if I was wearing your dog! (Anita goes from forcing a smile to looking terrified while Cruella starts to cackle like a maniac) Hahahahaha! Woof woof! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
• When Pongo is sprinting while leashed Roger's bike in tow (narrowly missing several people and cars). Even slamming the brakes produces zero slow down... But a lot of smoke!
  • One pedestrian on roller skates swerves to avoid the two speedsters, only to collide face-first into a lamp pole.
  • Eventually, it culminates when Pongo breaks free of his leash and then Roger plowing his bike into a bench, sending him flying into the pond!
    Woman on Bench: I don't think he wanted to do that.
  • "Actually, I crashed my bicycle into the pond. The only part of my body that wasn't injured was my head, but now, thanks to you [Anita], I have the complete set of bodily injuries."
• This dialogue when Roger stands up to Cruella by stating that the newborn puppies are not for sale:
  Roger: They are not for sale!
  Cruella: Oh? You've come into some money, have you? Did you design some silly game that will drive the delinquent kiddies into frenzies of video delight?
  Roger: As a matter of fact, I have—
  Anita: No, no, what Roger means to say is that we're not sure we're going to sell the puppies.
• During their first appearance and they are about to see Skinner, Jasper tells Horace what happened to him when he was young and warns him of what not to do to Skinner when he answers the door, but Horace does it anyway, much to Jasper's annoyance.
  Jasper: Now pay atten— Look at me. Pay attention. This is very important. There are two things you must not do to Skinner, alright? One: do not look at the horrendous scar on his neck. Two: don't talk to him. Understand? Not a word.
  Horace: Right.
  (Skinner answers the door and looks at Jasper and Horace)
  Horace: Ah! Look at the size of that scar! (Jasper looks away while rolling his eyes as if he's thinking, "Why don't you listen?") No bloody wonder you can't talk, mate!
  (Skinner wheezes angrily with a Death Glare)
  Jasper: Excuse me just a minute, would you? (he closes the door and decks Horace off-screen)
  • Horace's outburst becomes even funnier after Mark Williams appears in a series of movies about another famous character with a noticeable scar.
  • And then it gets funnier still after Hugh Laurie plays a guy with a hideous scar of his own.
• After managing to lock Nanny in the cupboard:
  Jasper: Well, the old bird put up a good fight. I like that, plucky bit of spirit in the woman.
  Horace: That's all right for you to say. You didn't get smashed in the face!
• When Jasper confirms that they've got the puppies:
  Cruella: My faith in your limited intelligence is momentarily restored.
• Kipper reenacting the kidnapping of the puppies does kind of get a laugh.
• The Horace/Jasper exchange regarding the Kipper dog making a noise on the roof of Cruella's mansion.
  Horace: Did you hear it?
  Jasper: (sigh) Oh yeah. Yeah. It sounded...just like...a complete berk asking me irritating questions.
  (Jasper's about to go back to sleep, but then listens to hear if Horace is still annoying him.)
  Jasper: Oh good, it's stopped now.
  (Horace gives the sleeping Jasper a Death Glare.)
• Horace and Jasper's reaction to raccoons messing with their truck. Jasper is clearly pissed about it while Horace looks like he's enjoying the show before switching to being angry when Jasper starts yelling.
• Later, now knowing the puppies have escaped, they try to get the truck going again after a brief argument — and only succeed at the cost of Horace getting an acorn and exhaust blown into his face.
• After their vehicle catches fire, Jasper and Horace are forced to walk by foot in the snow, unaware that rabbits are making tracks for them as they go under the electric fence without getting shocked.
  Jasper: I don't believe it. We got no truck, no dogs. We are so dead. Number 1 Dead Street, that's us.
  Horace: (spots at the rabbits' tracks on the ground) Look... tracks!
  Jasper: (stares at the tracks, then turns to Horace) I love you. (he and Horace follow the tracks) There you are, you see? Now if dogs are so smart, they wouldn't leave tracks for weary predators such as us.
• Upon searching through the barn, Cruella spots a tail in a large pack of hay, believing it to be one of the puppies. Walking slowly, Cruella grabs the tail, only to learn too late that the tail actually belongs to a large pig, who squeals in pain. Fortunately, Pongo takes action by knocking down a pier, causing the pig and the hay to fall all over Cruella, leaving her stuck. This allows all the Dalmatians to escape the barn while the pig does a fart out of complete relief, much to Cruella's disgust as she struggles to get free.
• Upon reaching a short but dangerous electric fence, Jasper and Horace attempt to go over it by putting logs next it so they can mount on the logs and jump over to the other side. However, before they can do it, the logs slip off, causing the two to get electrified on the fence. When the transformer shorts out, both Jasper and Horace flip around on their backs to the other side, though they remain electrified even as they get back on their feet and walk away.
• Upon spotting a raccoon wearing her red hat, Cruella menacingly walks towards the raccoon, demanding him to give her the hat back or she will kill and turn him into a hat. However, two other raccoons pulled a lever, causing a trap door to open, sending Cruella to fall into a vat of molasses. The raccoon wearing the hat laughs at this while the other two raccoons give themselves a high-five for a job well done. Cruella, covered in molasses, jumps out from the vat, but ends up being covered more in hay, much to her disgust.
• The fact that Jasper and Horace have gone through so much crap thanks to all the animals that when they see the police in the distance, they happily surrender and get detained inside a police van. They genuinely enjoy being in a heated vehicle with no animals before spotting a torn Skinner inside the van and make nervous smiles at him.
  Jasper: Thank the Lord.
  Horace: We're saved.
• Cruella's furious speech to a barn full of animals after being smothered in hay and molasses.
  Cruella: You..... BEEAAAASTS!!! But I'm not beaten yet! You've won the battle, but I'm about to win the wardrobe. My spotty puppy coat is in plain sight and leaving tracks. In a moment I'll have what I came for, while all of you will end up as sausage meat! Alone on some sad plastic plate, dead and medium red, no friends, no family, no pulse! JUST SLAPPED BETWEEN TWO BUNS, SMOTHERED IN ONIONS WITH FRIES ON THE SIDE! CRUELLA DeVIL HAS THE LAST LAUGH!!!! (laughs maniacally)
  • Fortunately, the horse won't have any of it and violently stomps on a plank, sending Cruella to crash through a window and fall into a pigpen, putting her in more humiliation than ever. And just when she thinks it couldn't get worse, the police arrive at the farm with a warrant to arrest her for her crimes, which she takes easily without making a scene.
    Police Officer: (confronting Cruella in the pigpen) Miss De Vil?
    Cruella: (nervously) Yes?
    Police Officer: (angrily) We have a warrant for your arrest!
    Cruella: (resigned) Oh.... (curls up her dirty streak of hair from her face) ....is there something wrong?
• When Cruella and her henchmen are arrested and detained inside the police van. Even better, they all get sprayed by a skunk, who was mistaken for Cruella's bag!
  Cruella: Congratulations. You just won gold, silver, and bronze in the "Morons" Olympics!
  (long silence before Horace works up the courage to ask)
  Horace: Who won the gold?
  Cruella: SHUT UP! My business, my reputation, my life has been ruined because you three incompetent twits let yourselves be outsmarted by a bunch of DUMB ANIMALS! (picks up her "bag", which is actually a skunk) And you call yourselves men?! HA! I've seen more intelligent pieces of carpet! (Opens up her "bag" to reveal a skunk's butt. Cue Oh, Crap! Cruella screams as she is sprayed by the skunk, and Jasper and Skinner scream while Horace clogs up his nose in disgust. The four villains try to get out of the car to no avail.)
• The end with Roger's new video game. He designs a mine cart chase with Patches and Whizzer, and Anita, the executives, dogs, and puppies watch Herbert testing it. Cue an Evil Laugh, Herbert straightening up with interest, and the classically animated Cruella lunging into the scene driving her car. All the puppies panic and run out of the room, just before video-game Cruella screams in horror as she and her car get blown up by a barrel of dynamite. Herbert's reaction? "Cool! Excellent villain, mate!"
