Funny / RoboCop 2

• The opening Nuke lab raid has a moment that also crosses over into an awesome hostage rescue. Robocop and Lewis in a standoff with a mook holding a baby hostage. He demands that he not be followed and Robocop replies "We won't." When he tries to intimidate the duo by threatening to kill the infant, Robocop snarks "We can't have that." and kills him with a Pinball Projectile shot that ricochets precisely off a nearby refrigerator door for a Boom, Headshot!, leaving the child unharmed and saved by Lewis as he drops dead. Sure enough, Robocop kept his word and didn't follow him.
• Robocop reading the Miranda Rights to a corpse wouldn't be funny, if it weren't for his utterly confused reaction when this is pointed out.
  • He was giving the guy his last rights.
• Robocop finding a load of kids committing crimes.
  Isn’t this a school day?
• RoboCop's "Bad language makes for bad feelings." after Dr. Faxx messed up his programming with conflicting directives. None of the kids he says this to take him seriously and treat him like a joke, adding to the comedy.
• "Thank you for not smoking!"
• When RoboCop starts his fight with RoboCop 2, The Old Man shouts BEEEEHAAAAVEEE YOURSELVES!!! One of the most corrupt executives in movie history witnesses a huge battle between two cyborgs armed to the teeth, and all he does is discipline them like two bickering children.
  • During said fight, RoboCop blows up RoboCain's shoulder mounted cannon. When he does so, it gives a little video game/cartoony sound effect.
• The final line of the film:
  RoboCop: Patience, Lewis. We're only human.
  • What really makes this funny is RoboCop then starts using his socket tool on his helmet.
• "OCP pioneered cyborg technology, and now we take a quantum leap forward. State-of-the-art destructive capabilities commanded by a unique combination of software and organic systems. In every way an improvement over the original. It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you, RoboCop 2." The prototypes are spectacular failures.
  • The first one steps out, to triumphant fanfare. It is.....a clunky looking brown machine which then lifts up its face plate to reveal the face. The face then sparks and flinches its face in anger, realizing that he's lost his humanity. He draws his gun and shoots the two scientists overseeing the test, killing the one on the right while repeatedly saying "stop or I'll shoot, stop or I'll shoot..." Then he turns to his left and shoots Schenk in the arm (who in the present is shown clutching his wounded arm and wincing uncomfortably at this moment), then turns the gun on himself. Only then, as if to add insult to injury, do the prototype's signal lights and sirens kick in.
    • Also consider that, despite the ED-209 fiasco, OCP still hasn't learned that giving prototypes live ammunition is a phenomenally stupid idea. At least they're smart enough to not give a loaded gun to the second one, but that gets disregarded again with RoboCain, who gets loaded up into a Walking Armory.
    • When the second prototype is unveiled, Schenk is standing behind a menacing-looking robot with two Vulcan arms, clearly a bodyguard he has built for his own protection.
    • Notice that when the first shot rings out, Johnson plays dead, then quickly scurries out of the shot.
  • The second one comes out. It looks much sleeker and more friendlier than the first one....only to suddenly take off its helmet, revealing a screaming skull with all sorts of wires coming out of it, then collapses to the ground and dies from inadvertently severing its life support with a loud crash. There's even the sound of metal clattering off-screen. You can see the Old Man burying his face in his hands watching this.
  • The Old Man simply states "$90 million" with regards to cost overruns.
• Cain's reaction to the Blue Velvet Nuke that wasn't ready yet.
  Cain: -Slurring- Frank. The Benzedrine's got my teeth wiggling. Cut it with sc - Scopalomine. 5 mills per.
• The Sunblock 5000 ad.
  Surgeon General's Warning: Frequent use WILL cause skin cancer.
  • Not only is the realization that the actress in the ad is Fabiana Udenio before she was Alotta Fagina funny, but there's also the fact that you've got two options if sunbathing in California: Skin cancer from overexposure to the sun or skin cancer from the carcinogenic Sunblock 5000. The latter means you get it while trying to cosplay as a Na'vi, or endearing yourself to Captain Kirk.
• The Magnavolt commercial. A would-be carjacker gets electrocuted by a car's theft deterrent. What sells it is the announcer just dumping his smoking corpse on the ground and drives away.
  • Adding more humor to the situation is why the car thief was bothering with breaking into a Ford Probe economy coupe when there were more expensive cars nearby. Also, the possibility of the car thief having an accident on the seat may come to mind.
• The news seller's quote as many, many police cars drive past to go apprehend Cain.
  "They ain't carryin' no picket signs, they goin' kick somebody ass!"
• The news report updating the audience on the status of the ED-209 project since the first film. It was adopted by many militaries and police forces, only for several malfunctions to become quickly evident. Footage shows one being stuck on an open manhole. It looked like it was throwing a tantrum, like a five-year-old at the store.
• A VERY DARK example but Cain’s Exact Words when having Officer Duffy’s heart cut out (while he’s alive and conscious!):
  Angie: You said you were just going to scare him!!!
  Cain: Doesn’t he look scared?
