History Film / RobinHoodMenInTights

** In addition, Dom's little iguana apparently has a problem with narcolepsy, a reptile dysfunction. How sad...

!!TropeNamer for:

* BadNewsInAGoodWay
* JustYouAndMeAndMyGUARDS

* YouHaventSeenTheLastOfX: Parodied.

--> '''John''': It's not my fault. I got a lot of bad advice from Nottingham.
--> '''Merry Men''': (''[[CoughSnarkCough cough]]'') Horseshit!

* JustYouAndMeAndMyGuards

* CheckPlease: Prince John, when the fight during the banquet scene lands on his table

* CombatBreakdown: Damn substandard quarterstaves...

** "Lend me your ears!" [''one inevitable joke later''] "That's disgusting..."
** "HA! Walk this way!" [''Sheriff tosses his head and struts away, Robin and guards shrug and do as he said'']

* TrollBridge: Guarded by Little Jon.

[''cue inevitable joke'']\\

* {{Bishonen}}: Will [[GoneWithTheWind Scarlet O'Hara]].

* MisplacedWildlife: Like everything else in the movie, intentional and played for laughs. The 12th Century Fox that they use to send a message[[hottip:*:i.e. a pun on "to fax"]] is a grey fox, which aren't native to England. To add to the absurdity, it makes the sound of [[{{Flipper}} a dolphin]] as it runs off.

Defending the people's rights!

* TheDon: The Sherriff enlists the help of Don Giovanni (Dom [=DeLuise=]), a mafia boss from Jersey, to get rid of Robin Hood.

* {{Angrish}}: The Sheriff of Rottingham, numerous times. Normally he just transposes two words ("Over that boy hand"), or swaps syllables of words ("Struckey has loxed again"), or a little PronounTrouble ("I'll pay for this!") when mildly annoyed. But watching Robin and Marian kiss at the ball causes him to rant out the following sentence with every single word out of order.

-->'''Sheriff;''' That's a wild boar!

** Also, literally. When the camera is dollying in towards maid Marian's bathroom during her bath tub song, it crashes through the window, interrupting her. She looks up, and you see the camera retreating.

* ChosenOne: Subverted. Robin's key [[spoiler: fits Marian's chastity belt, but it doesn't ''work'']].
** The sheriff had been using a jackhammer on the lock earlier, that can't have been good for the mechanism. Or perhaps it ''did'' rust in the bath.

'''Blinkin:''' There were all killed by the plague. \\

* FakeBrit: Strangely enough, averted with Robin Hood. That's because unlike [[KevinCostner some other Robin Hoods]], [[LampshadeHanging this one's can speak with an English accent.]]

* {{Gesundheit}}: A RunningGag regarding Ahchoo ([[SelfDemonstratingArticle BLESS YOU!]]). His name is frequently heard as a sneeze-- Ahsneeze is his father's name, incidentally.

-->'''Robin Hood''': No, we're straight. Just...merry.

* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler:Robin is revealed about midway through the film that he has the key to Maid Marian's chastity belt. By the end of the film, after defeating the Sheriff of Rottingham and marrying Maid Marian, when he and Marian finally prepare to do the deed it turns out his key doesn't work... Apparently it wasn't the real key. Or Rottingham's attempts to break the lock open messed it up. Or Marian just spent too long in the bath. [[CuttingTheKnot They decided to just call the locksmith.]]]]

** When the camera crashes through the wall was done in ''HighAnxiety''

* ThrowItIn: The part where Achoo pumps up his sneakers during a fight came about because Dave Chapelle happened to be wearing the shoes on set along with his costume. At first Mel Brooks pointed out that they were '''somewhat''' anachronistic but decided to make a joke about it.

* UnfortunateNames: Latrine. Her ancestors changed it ''to'' Latrine-- it used to be "Shithouse."

* VisualPun: Look closely the magic pill Latrine gives the Sheriff to "save his life."[[hottip:* : For British viewers, what you call Polo mints are called Life Savers in the States.]]

** Of course, she ''did'' just take a jackhammer to the pelvis in an attempt to remove her Ev-R-Last chastity belt.

* LandInTheSaddle: Marian leaps from a balcony onto her horse. When her large lady-in-waiting attempts to do the same, her horse dodges.

* AwardBaitSong: "Marian" is a parody of the DisneyAnimatedCanon award bait, especially with the soft rock cover of it that plays over the credits, which was a quite common of various animated {{award bait song}}s at the time (such as CelineDion & Peabo Bryson's version of ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast's'' title song, LindaRonstadt & James Ingram's cover of ''AnAmericanTail's'' ''Somewhere Out There'', and Bryson & Regina Belle's cover of ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'s'' ''A Whole New World'').

* MisplacedWildlife: Like everything else in the movie, intentional and played for laughs. The fox they use to send a message[[hottip:*:i.e. a pun on "to fax"]] is a grey fox, which aren't native to England. To add to the absurdity, it makes the sound of [[{{Flipper}} a dolphin]] as it runs off.

** ''Twice'', and in quick succession. First with Robin as WinstonChurchill, then with Achoo as MalcolmX (complete with glasses).

* {{Gesundheit}}: A RunningGag regarding Ahchoo. His name is frequently heard as a sneeze-- Ahsneeze is his father's name, incidentally.

* {{Gesundheit}}: A RunningGame regarding Ahchoo. His name is frequently heard as a sneeze--Ahsneeze is his father's name, incidentally.

** Another unintentional one when Robin discovers Maid Marian's chastity belt.

'''Robin''': [''in pain''] I'll bet..

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: As punishment for his treachery, King Richard names all the toilets [[DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch in England]] after Prince John. Then he has him locked in the Tower of London. "Make him part of the tour."

* AliensOfLondon

* AlwaysLawfulGood: Rabbi Tuckman.

* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler:Robin is revealed about midway through the film that he has the key to Maid Marian's chastity belt. By the end of the film, after defeating the Sheriff of Rottingham and marrying Maid Marian, when he and Marian finally prepare to do the deed it turns out his key doesn't work... Apparently it wasn't the real key. Or Rottingham's attempts to break the lock open messed it up. Or Marian just spent too long in the bath.]]

** When the camera crashes through the wall was done in ''Hight Anxiety''

* {{Gesundheit}}: A common gag regarding Ahchoo.

* OneSceneWonder: PatrickStewart as [[RichardTheLionHeart Richard the Lionhearted]].
