Funny / The Adventures of Tintin (1991)

Go To

  • In The Land of Black Gold, after Abdullah tricks Dr. Müller into crashing his car into the sand, he points a (toy) gun at Dr. Müller, as the car smolders in the background, and demands ...ice cream.
  • From "The Crab With The Golden Claws":
    Thomson and Thompson: (Together) We think you're smuggling drugs!
    Omar Ben Salaad: BY THE BEARD OF THE PROPHET HOW DARE YOU! GET OUT! OUT! OR I'LL HAVE YOU FLOGGED-
    (Ben Salaad's henchman, Allan, emerges from a hidden bookcase entrance leading to their opium cellar, and proceeds to crush Ben Salaad behind the bookcase in the process.)
    Allan: RUN FOR IT, OMAR! THE JIG IS UP!
  • The scene in The Castafiore Emerald where Professor Calculus' color TV undergoes glitches during a demonstration translates pretty well to animation. They also add a gag in which either Thomson or Thompson discloses that they brought the gypsies' monkey in for interrogation, but he hasn't answered any of their questions.
  • Another Thomson and Thompson gag is added in "Crab With The Golden Claws" where they collide into one another because one twin was running to tell the other that he forgot his cane right as the second realises the same thing and runs back to get it. Then they proceed to do exactly the same thing in "Secret Of The Unicorn", having learned nothing.
  • This little bit from "The Cigars of the Pharaoh".
    Tintin: I don't like cupcakes!
  • Thomson and Thompson are Accidental Heroes when they "catch" Rastapopoulos in The Blue Lotus. Rastapopoulos had given Tintin and the Sons of the Dragon the slip and escaped through a secret passage back to the Blue Lotus, but then he crashes into the detectives when they all try to pass through a curtain at the same time. The detectives promptly arrest him as he groans with an Oh, Crap! expression on his face.
  • In both versions of The Red Sea Sharks, Müller sends aircrafts and a column of armored cars to chase the heroes; the pilots mistakes the armored cars for their targets and bomb them, then the scene ends with Müller screaming threats and insults to the author of the disaster through his radio. In the comic book version, Müller is in his office; in the animated version, he's leading the armored column himself, and the last shot shows him sitting next to flaming wrecks, uselessly yelling in a broken radio.
