- King Louis XV's "encouraging" words to his grandson on his wedding night to Marie Antoinette.Louis XV: (Menacingly) You better give us an heir, you fat, ill-bred boy! (Turns off the light) Nighty-night!
Prince Louis: (Screams in terror)
Marie Antoinette: Oh, great. He's a freaking weirdo. - Louis XVI and his advisors formulating a solution to France's financial issues:Advisor 1: Tax the poor!
Advisor 2: Tax the poor!
Advisor 3: We could do a sexy calendar shoot.
(Beat)
Advisor 3: Uh, I mean... tax the poor. - "There's a tax for that!"
- Louis XVI's advisors try to warn him about the crowds storming the Bastille, to little avail.Advisor: Your Majesty, we've received word that the people have surrounded the Bastille.
Louis XVI: Governor de Launay will hold them off. No need to worry.
Advisor: Aaaaaactually, Your Majesty, it appears the crowd is now headed away from the Bastille.
Louis XVI: You see? What did I tell ya! Clearly Governor de Launay has defeated them, and has them on the run. No need to worry.
Advisor: Uh, Your Majesty... isn't that Governor de Launay's head on a pike?
Louis XVI: Well... clearly Governor de Launay has taken on the form of a body-less pike-head deity, and the people are so enamoured with him, that they're parading him around the city. No need to worry at all! (speeds off in a Porsche) - Jean-Paul Marat taking a break from writing his radical call for the bloody deaths of the nobility to baby-talk his rubber ducky.
- Marie Antoinette's famous "Let them eat cake!" is angrily denounced by one of her chancellors as proof of how out-of-touch the nobles are, so she responds with "Well... then let them eat Taco Bell Crunch Wrap Supreme!" The chancellor is horrified, saying they aren't that desperate.
- At one point, a mob storms the Tuileries Palace and forces Louis to wear the revolutionary cap. What follows is a painting of him definitely pretending he likes to wear that hat.
- The assassination of Jean-Paul Marat:Marat: So where is that list of enemies you promised me?
Corday: Here it is. (Hands Marat a piece of paper)
Marat: Wait a minute. This isn't a list of enemies! It just says "Yippee ki yay, motherf-" (Corday stabs him) AAAAAAAAAAA— - After Louis XVI provides financial aid to the colonies in the American Revolution, plunging his own country into even deeper debt:George Washington: Hey, we're an independent nation now! That was real swell of ya, Louis. Couldn't have done it without you.
Louis XVI: Glad I could help! So hey, about all that money we lent you — when can we get that back?
George: (Starts walking away) Yep, you're a great guy! I'll never forget what you've done for us.
Louis: Real glad I could help, friend, but about that money...
George: Gotta go now, chum! Best of luck to ya! (Leaves)
Louis: ......D'ooooooh noooooo!
