Funny / The Mummy (2017)

• Nick convinces a very reluctant Corporal Vail to accompany him to the city where he believes there is buried treasure (by piercing his water canteen given appealing to his "sense of adventure" didn't work). One Gilligan Cut later, the hapless pair are desperately trying to fend off armed insurgents opening fire at them from all directions and a Michael Bay level of explosions, with Vail complaining at Nick the whole time. The firefight ends with Vail nearly falling to his death in a pit that contains Ahmanet's tomb.
  Nick: You see? What'd I tell ya?
  • Bonus points for Vail looking like he's having a panic attack and not even noticing the ruins around him.
  • Also the pair bickering Like an Old Married Couple while under fire from huge numbers of Islamic militants.
    Vail: We're going to die here because of you!
    Nick: Just let me think!
    Vail: What!?
    Nick: I'm thinking...
    Vail: WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!?
    Nick: I'm thinking... that we're probably going to die here.
    Vail: I KNEW IT!
• Vail and Nick attempting to pilfer anything that glitters in the tomb right under Jenny's nose. Vail manages a bit of a haul, but Nick gets rumbled pretty quickly.
  Jenny: Don't even think about it.
• After Nick wakes up in the morgue, having miraculously survived a massive plane crash without a parachute entirely unscathed, he and Jenny retire to a London pub, where Nick proceeds to down a whole row of shots with a pint in the other hand.
  Jenny: How did you get out of that plane? There's not a single scratch on your body.
  Nick: [shrugs incredulously; takes another shot]
• The international trailer gives us this gem:
  Jenny: I know you're a good man. You gave me the only parachute without hesitation.
  Nick: I thought there was another one...
• While being attacked by a mummy attacking through the windshield of the ambulance they were escaping in, Jenny's panicked attempt of trying to kick the mummy off winds up kicking Nick instead.
  Nick: OW! That's my face! That's my face!
  Jenny: Sorry!
• Nick advances towards Ahmanet with a big-ass stick after the ambulance crashes in the forest, while Jenny eggs him on, still stuck in the rolled ambulance.
  Jenny: Go on, Nick, kick her arse!
  • Ahmanet simply bats at the stick, shattering it, then delivers a casual punch that sends Nick hilariously flying out of shot into the canopy. He lands in a groaning heap a good few metres away, leaving Jenny staring in bedazzled horror.
• Jenny's introduction is punching Nick in the face. After she reveals to the boss that Nick stole something from her when they slept together (using his 'ability to mimic all the qualities of genuine human intimacy for fifteen seconds'), Nick tries to defend himself by saying it was a long and satisfactory night.
  • The gigantic eyeroll that Nick's commanding officer gives after hearing Jenny's explanation suggests that this is not the first time this has happened.
  • Even after they've retrieved the sarcophagus, it's clear that the 'fifteen seconds' thing is still really eating at Nick.
• Nick's argument with Vail's ghost, from the specter complaining that Nick shot him three times, to the moment where Nick notices he entered the ladies room.
• After waking up in the morgue, Nick is found completely naked by Jenny and the coroners, much to his embarrassment.
• While trying to explain his situation to Jenny, who keeps on using the exact terms ("that box we pulled out" "sarcophagus"), Nick states he's not interested in the technical jargon.
• When attempting to first awake Set at the church, the music kicks in and it gets really intense. Then all that music suddenly stops as Princess Ahmanet and her thralls turn and have an awkward stare down with Jenny, who has interrupted them. You can almost hear their "Huh?"
  • The way Nick calls out "Jenny!" makes it sound like he's annoyed by her entry. For her part, Jenny just stares like a deer in the headlights at the sight of five mummies around Nick.
  • And just before that, Ahmanet examining Nick like a prize cow, checking his eyes and teeth - before ripping up his shirt and ogling his chest. Despite his dire predicament, Nick even giggles involuntarily as she runs her talons over his ribs.
• During her conversation with Ahmanet, Jenny calls the Egyptian Gods "The Old Gods". Ahmanet proceeds to tilt her head a bit and ask, "The Old Gods...?" in a mildly offended tone.
• When Dr. Jekyll's plan to kill Nick to destroy Set is revealed, the person who is most angry is Jenny. Nick is in the background shouting variations of "Huh!?" and "What!?" while she and Henry argue.
  • Not to mention Nick's opinion of the plan.
    Nick: I think we all need to just sit down and re-evaluate our options here.
• When Nick is keeping Jekyll's injection from him while he's about to transform, Henry's enforcer is visibly freaking out. He then quickly grabs Jenny and with a look of barely contained terror says, "We need to leave".
• While Hyde is indeed a terrifying force of nature, the way he has a casual and friendly conversation with Nick (in a cockney accent no less) while kicking his ass is chuckle-worthy.
  • As is the fact that he refers to himself as "Eddie Hyde".
  • His pitch for Nick allowing Set to possess him:
    Hyde: The ladies will love us!
• "It's not me, it's you."
