History Funny / BeautyAndTheBeast

--> '''Belle''': Well, some people use their imagination.

-->'''Lumiere:''' Oh, you look so...so... ''(struggling to find the word])''\\

-->'''Gaston''': Belle would to anything to keep [Maurice] from being locked up.\\

** And later, trying to control his temper while talking to Belle through the bedroom door:
--->'''Beast''': But she's being so ''difficult''!
** Then:
--->'''Beast:''' ''(through clenched teeth)'' It would give me ''great... pleasure''... ''(the fur begins to stand up on the back of his neck)'' ...if you would ''JOIN'' me for ''DINNER!''\\
'''Cogsworth''': [[CoughSnarkCough Ahem-ahem-ahem-ahem-wesayplease.]]\\
'''Beast''': '''Please.'''

'''Lefou''': ''[laughs]'' Yeah. Even marry ''him''. ''[points at Gaston, who gives him raises his hand to swat him again. Lefou ducks underneath his bear mug]''

'''Lefou''': ''[laughs]'' Yeah. Even marry ''him''. ''[points at Gaston]''

---> d'Arque: So you want me to throw Belle's father in the asylum, unless she agrees to marry you? Oh that is ''despicable.'' [EvilLaugh] '''''I love it!'''''

--->'''[=LeFou=]:''' So, how'd it go?\\

** Complete with [[DerangedAnimation exaggerated animation]] too; if one pays close attention, Claudette and Laurette even have [[{{Squick}} snot dripping down]].

* The Bimbettes (the official name for those three blonde ladies) [[EverybodyCries crying]] at Gaston's "wedding" ceremony for Belle because they are in love with him. What makes it is the contrast to what happened beforehand; Gaston thanks everyone gathered for coming to the wedding reception he's set up in front of Belle's house, and adds jokingly, "But first I'd better propose to the girl!" which makes everyone laugh. Cut to the Bimbettes.

'''Gaston:''' [[HypocriticalHumor Yeah! Don't talk about her father that way]]! ''(bonks [=LeFou=] on the head)''

* In the Disneyland Royal Theater stage show, the final battle between Gaston and the Beast devolves into a pie fight and a "Did not!" "Did too!" argument, causing Belle to have to break character and tell them to tell the story as it really happened.

--->'''[=LeFou=]:''' [[SarcasmMode So, how'd it go?]]\\

** There's also Belle rejecting Gaston by opening her door and letting him fall into the mud head-first with his butt sticking out after sayin,g "I just don't deserve you!"

* Belle attempting to defend Maurice:
-->'''Belle:''' My father's not crazy! He's a genius! [''cue explosion'']\\
[''Belle runs back home as Gaston and [=LeFou=] laugh'']
* A tiny moment that will go unnoticed unless you watch the film dozens of times, but in "Be Our Guest", Belle's chair is all ready to tie a napkin around her neck. Belle intercepts the napkin and puts it in her lap instead. The chair puts its arms at its sides in a clear gesture of "Well I never!" See this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afzmwAKUppU&t=0m26s here]].
* When Maurice first meets Lumiere and Cogsworth, his first reaction is to pick up Cogsworth and fiddle with the talking clock, trying to figure out how can this be. He shakes Cogsworth up and down, twists his dial (causing some comic pain for Cogsworth), and then tries to get at his pendulum. The brief cut to Lumiere's snickering just sells it.
-->'''Cogsworth:''' Sir! Close that at ''once!'' Do you ''mind?''
* During Gaston's meeting with Monsieur d'Arque, Lefou adds some levity to the serious scene, by chimming in with a couple of jabs. At Gaston's expense, no less.
-->'''Gaston''': Belle would to anything to keep [Maurice] from being locked up.\\
'''Lefou''': ''[laughs]'' Yeah. Even marry ''him''. ''[points at Gaston]''
** For added BlackComedy, d'Arque's seeming disgust for their scheme (to imprison Maurice until Belle agrees to marry Gaston) but then immediately agrees with absolute ''glee.''
---> d'Arque: So you want me to throw Belle's father in the asylum, unless she agrees to marry you? Oh that is ''despicable.'' [EvilLaugh] '''''I love it!'''''

* During the opening song, a merchant [[MaleGaze looks at a woman's cleavage]] as they exchange hellos. The woman then asks, "How is your wife?", upon which [[HenpeckedHusband the merchant's angry wife smacks him with a rolling pin]].

* Belle performs the opening of "Belle (Reprise)" in front of a group of goats and chickens. After singing "''Madame Gaston, his little wife''," she kicks the lid off a barrel, startling them all, especially the two goats she sends the lid hurtling towards.

* "Belle" contains the lines "Never part of any crowd/'Cause her head's up on some cloud". The second line is sung by a barber... who's so busy singing about Belle that [[HypocriticalHumor he doesn't notice he's just cut off a man's mustache]].
** Before that, there was a FunnyBackgroundEvent involving a laughing boy chasing a small pig out of frame. A moment later, the boy runs back into frame screaming as he gets chased by a bigger pig.

* That bathing scene with the Beast.
** The coatrack dumping a bucket of water on him, which causes fur to cover his eyes. He then makes a window for his eyes by moving the fur with his claws.
** The Beast shaking himself and the FluffyDryCat that follows.
* Cogsworth complaining to Lumiere, after Maurice gets thrown in the dungeon.
-->'''Cogsworth:''' Couldn't keep quiet, could we? Just had to invite him to stay? Serve him tea! Sit in the master's chair! Pet the pooch!
-->'''Lumiere''': I was trying to be hospitable!
** Lumiere doing the "blablabla" motion with his candlestick.
*** Which is made even funnier if you notice that, prior to that, Lumiere appears as if he was checking his nails.
* The moment when Beast tells her to join him for dinner when she's shown her room.
-->'''Beast:''' You will join me for dinner... THAT'S NOT A REQUEST! ''(door slams and dramatic music starts)''
** And later, trying to control his temper while talking to Belle through the bedroom door:
--->'''Beast''': But she's being so ''difficult''!
** Then:
--->'''Beast:''' ''(through clenched teeth)'' It would give me ''great... pleasure''... ''(the fur begins to stand up on the back of his neck)'' ...if you would ''JOIN'' me for ''DINNER!''\\
'''Cogsworth''': [[CoughSnarkCough Ahem-ahem-ahem-ahem-wesayplease.]]\\
'''Beast''': '''Please.'''
* Lumière and Cogsworth calling each other insults related to the object they were transformed into (fool made of wax, paraffin headed, overgrown pocket watch.)
** The funniest thing is they were called the last two ''after'' they had been turned into humans. The fact that none of them notice this implies they came up with ''a lot'' of these over the years.
* Gaston's vision of his future life:
-->'''Gaston:''' Here, picture this: A rustic hunting lodge, my latest kill roasting on the fire, and my little wife massaging my feet, while the little ones play on the floor with the dogs. We'll have six or seven.\\
'''Belle:''' [[ObfuscatingStupidity Dogs?]]
** The entire attempt at a proposal by Gaston is glorious, as he's blissfully unaware of Belle's extreme disinterest, which isn't helped by the fact that she never actually says no until she lets him out. (By which we mean "dumps him out the door".)
* When the two barflies say, [[ExactWords "All right, old man! We'll help you out!"]]-- and promptly carry Maurice ''out'' of the bar.
* Chip saves Belle and Maurice from the locked cellar by [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments weaponizing Maurice's automatic wood chipper to break down the door]]. As they stare at the rubble, a dazed Chip is dangling from stray wire while saying, "You guys ''gotta'' [[WasntThatFun try this thing]]."

* The scene where Belle dresses the Beast's wound after the wolf attack. The Beast licks his wound like a dog, then tries to dodge Belle's attempts to clean it with a ridiculously scared expression, his previously-terrifying roar becomes [[NightmareRetardant a childlike tantrum over the stinging wet cloth]], and he and Belle bicker {{Like an Old Married Couple}}, blaming each other for his injury, before the scene finally ends in a tender SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}. The facial expressions the Beast makes when he and Belle are arguing are hilarious, especially when he's positively dumbfounded that she's telling him off and can't think of anything to say.
-->'''Beast:''' Well, if you hadn't run away, this wouldn't have happened.\\
'''Belle:''' If you hadn't frightened me, I wouldn't have run away!\\
'''Beast:''' ''(lost for words)'' ...Well, ''you'' shouldn't have been at the west wing!\\
'''Belle:''' Well, ''you'' should learn to [[IronicEcho control your temper]]!
** The stage musical adds another moment to this scene that's absolutely hilarious: Belle puts the rag on the Beast's wound, and instead of roaring like in the movie, the Beast screams ''like a five-year-old girl.'' What follows is usually a loud round of laughs from the audience as the Beast awkwardly rubs at his temples until he finally murmurs, "That hurt."
* Pretty much all of 'Gaston', but especially the lyric "I use antlers in all of my dec-o-rating!" and the accompanying visual.
** Lefou's antics during the song;
*** The first thing he tries to do is [[FingerForcedSmile force a smile from his grumpy best bud]]. When Gaston decks him into a table for it, [=LeFou=] immediately recovers and continues singing without missing a beat. You've gotta hand it to Disney characters; when [[SeriousBusiness they feel a song coming on]], not even getting PunchedAcrossTheRoom is going to stop them from belting it.
*** At the beginning, he steals a guy's belt while singing "No one's slick as Gaston". The poor fellow doesn't realize what's happened until his pants drop and everyone else is chuckling at his [[UncoolUndies heart-dotted boxers]].
** These lines after throwing Maurice out of the tavern:
--->'''Gaston:''' ''[=LeFou=], I'm afraid I've been thinking.''\\
'''[=LeFou=]:''' ''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck A dangerous pastime-]]''\\
'''Gaston:''' ''I know.''
** Even the DarkReprise is [[RefugeInAudacity hilarious]].
--->''Nooooooo ooonnnnne''\\
''Plots like Gaston!''\\
''Takes cheap shots like Gaston!''\\
''No one persecutes harmless crackpots like Gaston!''
** Gaston bragging about [[MundaneMadeAwesome mundane things]], such as his hairiness, his spitting, and his boots.
** When no-one "matches wits like Gaston", he "wins" a game of chess (that he wasn't even in; two old men were playing) by FlippingTheTable.
* Gaston pausing while proposing to Belle to check out his reflection in the mirror. And the fish eye effect of him when Belle peers out the door to see who it is when he comes to her house to propose.
** There's also Belle rejecting Gaston by opening her door and letting him fall into the mud head-first with his butt sticking out after sayin,g "I just don't deserve you!"
*** If you look closely, she waves after him as he topples out the door.
*** Even funnier in the stage version, where he responds to this with "Who does?" This is after a song where he says that women are "occasionally" useful "mainly for extending the family tree", and that "we will be the perfect pair, rather like my thighs".
*** Gaston's proposal song in the musical (aptly titled "Me") ends with him asking Belle "So Belle, what will it be? Is it "yes" or is it... "oooohhhhh, YES!"
* The Bimbettes (the official name for those three blonde ladies) [[EverybodyCries crying]] at Gaston's "wedding" ceremony for Belle because they are in love with him. What makes it is the contrast to what happened beforehand; Gaston thanks everyone gathered for coming to the wedding reception he's set up in front of Belle's house, and adds jokingly, "But first I'd better propose to the girl!" which makes everyone laugh. Cut to the Bimbettes.
* The Bimbettes "accidentally" spraying [=LeFou=] with water after he goes gaga over them. One of them actually used her heaving bosom to push down on the water pump.
* After the song "Something There", Mrs. Potts doesn't want to answer Chip's question.
-->'''Mrs. Potts:''' [singing] There may be something there that wasn't there before.\\
'''Chip:''' ''What's'' there, Mama? \\
'''Mrs. Potts:''' Shh. [[TheTalk I'll tell you when you're older]].
* Cogsworth telling the Beast that Belle isn't coming down to dinner.
--> '''Beast:''' Well? Where is she?\\
'''Cogsworth:''' Who? Oh, the girl! ''(starts getting nervous)'' Yes, the...girl. Well, actually, she's in the process of, uh...circumstances being what they are...she's not coming.\\
'''Beast:''' ''([[{{Beat}} after a beat]])'' '''''[[BigWhat WHAT?!!??!?]]'''''
** Even before that, when the door opens, but before it reveals Cogsworth instead of Belle, the Beast's face could only be described as that of a teenage girl on prom night.
* When the Beast attempts to move Belle from the tower to her own room, it's his stuttering that sells it.
-->'''Beast:''' Come, I'll show you to your room.\\
'''Belle''' My room?\\
'''Beast:''' You wan-You wanna stay in the tower?\\
'''Belle''': No...\\
'''Beast''': Then follow me.
** The stutter was actually an editing mistake that was "fixed" in the 2002 Platinum Edition, but re-instated for the 2010 Diamond Edition after fans complained about its removal.
* Anything with Gaston when he's not being sadistically creepy. Something about his ego and the way he talks with pride over the assumption that if he wants something then he deserves it is hilarious.
** Funniest part is this, after [=LeFou=] makes fun of Belle's father (which Gaston found hilarious):
--->'''Belle:''' Don't talk about my father that way!\\
'''Gaston:''' [[HypocriticalHumor Yeah! Don't talk about her father that way]]! ''(bonks [=LeFou=] on the head)''
** His first line in the movie. It's so transparently asshole-ish that it's just hilarious.
--->'''[=LeFou=]:''' Whoa, you didn't miss a shot, Gaston. You're the greatest hunter in the whole world.\\
'''Gaston:''' I know.
** Gaston suggesting to Belle to stop reading and pay attention to more important things. Namely him. Cue Bimbettes going '[[SighOfLove Aaaahhh...]]'.
** When Gaston talks about reading being not right for a woman, [[StrawMisogynist as it can lead to her thinking]], he makes it sound like thinking is a disease and he is concerned about Belle's health. Even funnier, in his own song, Gaston believes thinking is also a dangerous thing for men.

** The impressions they do of the failed Beast audtions are also hilarious.
* The Beast's face when Belle leans on his chest during the ballroom scene, as well as Cogsworth's and Lumiere's reactions.
* After turning human, Chip asks his mom, "Do I still have to sleep in the cupboard?"
** The adorable look on Chip's face when he asks makes it even better. Even his mother giggles!

* Gaston grabbing Belle's book and asking how she can read it when it doesn't even have any pictures. Made funnier by the fact that it actually ''does'' have pictures, it's just that it's an illustrated storybook with a lot of text.
** Even funnier is that Gaston is holding the book sideways, as if he was expecting an anachronistic ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}'' centerfold.
** And of course, Belle's comeback. Who knew she was such a DeadpanSnarker?
--> '''Belle''': Well, some people use their imagination.
* [=LeFou=] standing to the side and singing "Kill the Beast" as the villagers are ramming down the castle doors.
* [=LeFou=] conducting the band:
-->'''Gaston:''' Now when Belle and I come out that door-\\
'''[=LeFou=]:''' Oh! I know! I know! I strike up the band!\\
''(cue fast tempo version of "Here comes the Bride" which is then CutShort by Gaston throwing a tuba on [=LeFou's=] head)''\\
'''Gaston:''' Not yet!\\
'''[=LeFou=]:''' Sorry!
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EacQmQFzzfo Add any song]] to the clip of Lefou and the band, and it'll be funny.
** It's shown that he's still conducting the band after Gaston is thrown into the mud.
--->'''[=LeFou=]:''' [[SarcasmMode So, how'd it go?]]\\
'''Gaston:''' ''(grabs [=LeFou=] by his shirt)'' I'll ''have'' Belle for my wife. [[TheDeterminator Make no mistake about that!]]\\
''(Gaston throws him on the mud)''\\
'''[=LeFou=]:''' Hmm, touchy!\\
'''Pig:''' ''(agreeing with [=LeFou=])'' *snort, snort*
* During Belle and the Prince's dance, Lumiere and Cogsworth get into a fight, each claiming he was the one who knew it would work out in the end. Clearly Cogsworth was mostly skeptical during the film.
-->'''Cogsworth''': ''(Shakes Lumiere's hand in truce)'' Well, Lumiere, old friend, shall we let bygones be bygones?\\
'''Lumiere:''' Of course, mon ami. I ''told'' you she would break the spell!\\
'''Cogsworth:''' I beg your pardon, old friend, but I believe ''I'' told ''you''.\\
'''Lumiere:''' No, you didn't. ''I'' told ''you''!\\
'''Cogsworth:''' ''(pushes Lumiere)'' You most certainly did not, you pompous, paraffin-headed peabrain!\\
'''Lumiere:''' En garde, you... you overgrown pocket watch! ''(slaps his face with a glove and the two begin fighting again)''
** They waited until ''after'' they'd changed back before trading some worthy insults.
* During "Something There", Belle ducks behind a tree while the Beast feeds some birds, in order to get a gauge on the sudden new feelings she has about him. She peeks back around the tree -- ''to find him with birds perching all over him.''
** She then throws a snowball right into his face after the birds fly off. When he attempts to get back by making a large snowball in his arms, she hits him with another, causing him to to throw the large snowball into the air, which then lands right back on him.
*** Combined with Heartwarming is the Beast's face when he makes his giant snowball. Instead of being angry, it's a playful "Oh now you're going to get it!" expression.

* When Belle tells [[BookDumb Gaston]] to use his imagination, Gaston has a look on his face like he had never thought of that before.

* When Cogsworth and Lumiere are giving Belle a tour, the knight statues are checking her out.
-->'''Cogsworth:''' ''As you were!''
** Cogsworth being a quippy tour guide and laughing at his own jokes:
-->'''Cogsworth:''' Note the unusual inversus vaulted ceiling. This is yet another example of the late neoclassic Baroque period. And as I always say...[[{{Pun}} if it's not Baroque, don't fix it!]] ''[*chuckles at his own joke*]''
** Belle's conversation with Lumiere and Cogsworth beforehand (after she has been treated to a production number by a singing candlestick and a veritable platoon of dancing tableware):
--->'''Belle:''' I couldn't possibly sleep now! It's my first time in an enchanted castle!\\
'''Cogsworth:''' ''(laughing nervously as a fork skitters by on its tines)'' ''Enchanted?'' Who said anything about the castle being enchanted? ''(to Lumiere)'' It was ''you'', wasn't it?! ''(they fight)''\\
'''Belle:''' ''(amused)'' I... figured it out myself.

** When Gaston talks about reading being not right for a woman, [[StrawMisogynist as it can lead to her thinking]], he makes it sound like thinking is a disease and he is concerned about Belle's health. Even funnier, in his own song, Gaston believes thinking is also a dangerous for men.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[RealityEnsues After all those years with no outside contact, it seems he forgot basic etiquette.]]]]

--->'''[=LeFou=]:''' [[AskAStupidQuestion So, how'd it go?]]\\

** Bonus points for that last part being a ThrowItIn ad-lib by David Ogden Stiers.

** The Beast shaking his fur like a dog and the FluffyDryCat that follows.
* Cogsworth complaining to Lumiere, again.

*** Which is made even funnier if you notice that, prior to that, Lumiere’s appears as if he was checking his nails.

* Chip saves Belle and Maurice from the locked cellar by [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments weaponizing Maurice's automatic wood chipper to break down the door]]. As they stare at the rubble, a dazed Chip is dangling from stray wire while saying, "You have ''got'' [[WasntThatFun to try this thing]]."

** Lafou's antics during the song;

*** At the beginning, he steals a guy's belt while singing "No one's slick like Gaston". The poor fellow doesn't realize what's happened until his pants drop and everyone else is chuckling at his [[UncoolUndies heart-dotted boxers]].

* After turning human, Chip asks, "Mama, do I still have to sleep in the cupboard?"

** Even funnier is that Gaston is holding the book sideways, as if he was expecting an anachronistic Magazine/{{Playboy}} centerfold picture.

'''Maurice:''' ''(emerges from underneath his latest invention wearing a bizarre contraption on his head)'' My daughter, ''odd''? Where would you get an idea like ''that''?

** The Beast says Belle's being so difficult, but tries to ask her to dinner again and when she says no again, he points at the door and looks at his servants while giving them [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/a/a2/Beauty-and-the-beast-disneyscreencaps.com-3918.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140324182203 a "There, you see?" look]].

-->'''Cogsworth:''' Note the unusual inversus vaulted ceiling. This is yet another example of the late neoclassic Baroque period. And as I always say...[[IncrediblyLamePun if it's not Baroque, don't fix it!]]

** Also, in the battle, the wardrobe traps on of the villagers inside her and dresses him up in... [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 a red wig and a purple bra!]]

** The Beast says Belle's being so difficult, but tries to ask her to dinner again and when she says no again, he points at the door and looks at his servants while giving them a "You see?" look.

*** The first thing he tries to do is [[FingerForcedSmile force a smile from his grumpy best bud]]. When Gaston decks him into a table for it, [=LeFou=] immediately recovers and continues singing without missing a beat. You've gotta hand it Disney characters; when they feel a song coming on, not even getting PunchedAcrossTheRoom is going to stop them from belting it.
