History Funny / HoratioHornblower

---> '''Major Côtard''': [absolutely outraged storming into Captain's room] Capitaine 'ornblo'''wer''', if this is a joke, it is in pour taste.

** #18 ''The Horrifically Butchered American Accent'': Some sensitive ears don't take lightly {{FakeAmerican}}s.

** #21 ''The Mildew-ed Canvas Bed'': Major Côtard who is by this point of the story just insufferable FrenchJerk does '''not''' like his room. Or room-mate?

** #19 ''Like True British Sailors'': [[InsaneAdmiral Crazy Captain]] Sawyer is doped by laudanum (must be lethal dosage by this point of the story) and is totally loosing his wits. When Mr Buckland hosts Colonel Ortega and his wife to confuse them and lose their attention while the other lieutenants prepare for action, Sawyer decides he wants to sing as loudly as he can. The uncomfortable looks, especially Senora Ortega's, are just hilarious.

---> '''Mr Bush''': Oh. I call it bloody dangerous. [Mr Kennedy gives a quick laugh.]

---> '''Mr Bush''': Come, gentlemen, no time for soul-searching. The furnace awaits. [They leave, and Horatio gives them a '''look''' which is very close to a stink eye or even a DeathGlare.]

** #3 ''Quietly as You Can'': A disagreement between Styles and Mr Bush who insists that if he's loud during night attack. Matthews approves of Mr Bush's interference, and then not-quite-whispers to the crew: "Softly now, quietly as you can."

** '''#1''' ''The Tackle'': Mr Bush comes aboard the Renown, and is nearly hit by a net full of barrels. Horatio knocks him down just in time. Interesting welcoming ceremony, indeed.

Was he sick

---> '''Mr Hornblower''': I'm glad you find some amusement in this situation, Archie. Because of my ''elementary'' mistake.

---> '''Horatio''': Archie, are you mad?
---> '''Archie''': Very possibly, but we thought you could use the company!

---> '''Edrington''': I can see why you chose the Navy.

---> '''Hoaratio''': Damn this animal. What it needs is a rudder!
---> '''Edrington''': Show it who's master, Mr Hornblower.
---> '''Horatio''': [desperately] I don't need to, it knows.

* From ''Retribution'': '''I CAN'T SWIM!'''[[hottip:*:Shouted by a [[NotSoStoic panicked]] Lieutenant Bush as Hornblower and Archie basically drag him off of a cliff with them to avoid getting killed by an [[StuffBlowingUp exploding Spanish fort]].]]

---> Horatio: Archie, are you mad?
---> Archie: Very possibly, but we thought you could use the company!
* Any moment when Captain Pellew chews out Hornblower for some reason or other ... then hands him a promotion or a new command. Horatio's stunned expression is priceless each time.
* In "The Wrong War," Hornblower's failed attempt to get on a horse. He ends up going around in circles, one foot in a stirrup, as Edrington watches with something approaching a smirk.
---> Edrington: I can see why you chose the Navy.
* The fantastically awkward moment in Series 2 where Horatio is showering on deck, and Captain [[InsaneAdmiral Sawyer]] comes out of his cabin to [[spoiler: arrest his lieutenants]]. The moment where Horatio realises why everyone has suddenly stopped and what they're looking at is immediately followed by his look of horror at having been caught prancing around starkers by his lunatic captain.
* The captains on the board of examination in ''The Fire Ships''. After Hornblower and "Dreadnought" Foster have stopped the titular ship from destroying the fleet at anchor, Foster and Hammond ''immediately'' start bickering and get so riled up that Hammond challenges Foster to a duel. Hornblower's bewildered and slightly hypothermic expression as he watches them makes the scene all the better. [[DeadpanSnarker Pellew]] later describes them as "three men who would not agree on the color of an orange."

* In "The Wrong War," Hornblower's failed attempt to tell a joke. Matthews asks the size of the bridge they are to blow up, and Hornblower's reply -- "I imagine it's a little bigger than the river" -- falls completely flat.

** Later on, when Archie questions his own bravery, Hornblower points out that he jumped off a cliff into the ocean accompanied by "A man afraid of heights and another who couldn't swim."
