History Funny / GoodFellas

* Young Henry shows his mom his new suit. Her response? A horrified look and, "You look like a ''gangster''!"

* Jimmy and Henry are in Morrie's wig shop, trying to get back some money they lent him while [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G6yVIHvsIE a commercial he made]] (apparently with said money) is playing on a continuous loop boasting about how his wigs never come off. While Henry pleads with the poor guy, Jimmy stands back and quietly watches the commercial, slowly getting more and more pissed off. Finally he explodes and begins to strangle Morrie with the telephone cord... causing his wig to fall off! Henry bursts out laughing.

--> '''Tommy:''' He pulls me in, starts asking questions. You know, this and that. He says, "So what are you going to tell us, tough guy?" I said, "My usual. Zero, nothing. Why tell you, you fuck?" He says, "No, you're gonna tell me something today, tough guy." I said, "Okay, I'll tell you something: go fuck your mother." ''(laughter)'' Bing, pow, boom, bing! You saw the paper, Anthony? My head was open like this. The prick. I'm coming around, and who do I see in front of me? This big prick again. He says, "Oh, what do you want to tell me now, tough guy?" I said, "Bing, what are you doing here? I thought I told you to go fuck your mother!" ''(more laughter)'' I thought he was gonna shit! Pow, ping, boom! You fuckers! I wish I was big just once!

--> '''Tommy:''' Hey Frank, let's chop him (Morrie's corpse) up.
--> '''Frankie:''' All right. [starts to get out of the car]
--> '''Tommy:''' Where you going? Where you going, you dizzy motherfucker, you?
--> '''Frankie:''' I think you said to chop him up.
--> '''Tommy:''' Up at Charlie's, not here! Where the fuck are we gonna chop him here?
--> '''Frankie:''' Charlie's! [mumbles to himself in Italian]
--> '''Tommy:''' Come on, what are you doing? Get the fuck outta here. [[CrossesTheLineTwice I got a better shot letting him fucking drive.]] What are you waiting for?
--> '''Frankie:''' The car's cold.
--> '''Tommy:''' Get the fuck outta here! What fucking warm enough?! Get outta here!

--> '''Jimmy: [knocking at their window]''' Come on, fuckos, let’s go for a ride.
* At the end when Jimmy and Paulie are getting arrested, one mobster can be heard saying to the FBI agents: “whoever sold you those suits has a wonderful sense of humor”.

** Even when he was in witness protection, Henry couldn't resist breaking the law in relatively minor ways, and in the early 90s he was expelled from witness protection. He collaborated with writer Nicholas Pileggi on the book ''Wiseguy'', which was the source material for ''Goodfellas'', and even made good on his long-term ambition to publish a cookbook, bringing out ''The Wiseguy Cookbook'' in 2002. His celebrity grew to the point that he was indeed tracked down by mobsters, but they weren't looking to kill him: they wanted to ask his advice about book and movie deals.
** One of the very few mafiosi whose name wasn't changed for the film finding out too late about it, as in ''already in the theater''. [[https://youtu.be/_HZbkdEggHI?t=318 You can see their reaction here.]]

* [[CrossesTheLineTwice The aforementioned violence]], obviously. Also, when Henry gives Karen a huge wad of shopping money, and she immediately drops to her knees, and his response is, "Oh, alright..."

* Tommy asks Henry to accompany him on a double date - right when they're in the middle of burning down a nightclub. They spend so much time arguing that the place goes up in flames at the point where they should have driven off. Also during this argument Tommy expresses disbelief that a [[HypocriticalHumour 'Jew broad' is prejudiced against Italians]]

'''Tommy:''' Here's a wing! ''([[VillainousFriendship the two laugh at the witticism]])'' What do you like, the leg or the wing, Henry? Or do ya still go for the ol' hearts and lungs?\\

* Shortly after getting married, Henry returns home drunk late one night only for Karen's mother to start nagging him for staying out all night and he immediately turns around back to his car [[{{Troll}} only for Tommy to start repeating all the nagging.]]
* At his son's birthday party Jimmy, the hitman, thief and extortionist, is wearing little conical birthday cap. Better yet he's the only adult wearing one.
* During Henry's narration of what each wiseguy was responsible for for their dinners in prison, he mentions that he felt Vinnie's sauce, while good, had a little too much onion. Immediately after, Vinnie gets into an argument with the others regarding how many onions he's put into the sauce.

-->'''Jimmy:''' I can't believe this. Are you stupid or what? Excuse me, excuse me. Take it off. ''(He strips the girl off the coat)''
** What REALLY takes the cake is after Jimmy reminds Henry to be discrete with the money and don't spend it right away, the GilliganCut shows Henry proudly telling Karen he'd bought the biggest, most expensive Christmas tree possible. To make it even better, that expensive Christmas tree is ''hideous.''
* During the first Spider scene, Tommy asks what movie was the one with Creator/HumphreyBogart as a cowboy, looking for an opening to make Spider "dance" by shooting at the floor. One of the guys correctly states, "Oklahoma Kid?" while Jimmy absent mindedly suggests "...''Film/{{Shane}}''?" Tommy excitedly shouts, "OKLAHOMA KID!" as he starts to pull his gun out but then stops to look at Jimmy and goes, "''Shane''...", almost disappointed that Jimmy would say such a dumb answer. To Jimmy's credit, he laughs it off.

** Then it gets funnier because Jimmy and Henry look at the old guy in the painting with the beard and says "he looks like somebody we know [Billy Batts]!" and then Tommy joins in saying, "It IS him" and then [[CrossesTheLineTwice the camera moves over their shoulder]] to look at the car in the window where we hear Billy Batts knocking up as usual.
** What makes the whole thing even better is that it's 3:00 in the morning when the trio shows up at Tommy's mother's house--and rather than question why the three of them are still awake at this hour, Mama [=DeVito=] insists on sitting them down and whipping up a full-on feast. It's not clear which is funnier: that she had all of that food waiting to heat, or that she made it all fresh right then and there!
* During Henry's last day as a wiseguy Sandy yells at him for being antsy to leave with the coke she's mixing. He settles her down with some sweet talk, then quietly asks "Is that the last one?" She says yes and he grabs it, stuffs it in a bag, makes a break for the door... [[EvilIsPetty then stops to cackle at her before running off.]]

--> '''Jimmy: [knocking at their window]''' Come on fuckos, let’s go for a ride.

* And Tommy's story about how he got picked up (and knocked out) by a cop in Secaucus is...well, ActuallyPrettyFunny:

** What makes the whole thing even better is that it's the middle of the night (at least midnight and probably later) when the trio shows up at Tommy's mother's house--and rather than question why the three of them are still awake at this hour, Mama [=DeVito=] insists on sitting them down and whipping up a full-on feast. It's not clear which is funnier: that she had all of that food waiting to heat, or that she made it all fresh right then and there!
