Changed line(s) 1,134 (click to see context) from:

!!''Raiders of the Lost Ark''

* The film opens with Indy braving death traps, scary spiders, waves of angry natives trying to kill him, and he pretty much takes it all in stride. Get him on the plane with a snake as a fellow passenger, though...
-->'''Indy''': There's a big snake in the plane, Jock!\\
'''Jock''': Oh, that's just my pet snake Reggie!\\
'''Indy''': I hate snakes, Jock! I HATE 'EM!\\
'''Jock''': Come on! Show a little backbone, will ya? 
* The scene of Indy facing down a mean sword fighter in the Cairo market. The Mook spends two minutes twirling the blade menacingly, after which Indy makes a "Why bother?" face, [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim pulls out his gun and shoots him]].
** Better: that look on Indy's face is actual pain from the dystentery that forced the "just shoot him" moment in the first place.
* '''Sallah''': Asps. Very dangerous. (taps Indy on the shoulder) You go first.
** Most anything Sallah says or does is pretty good for a laugh from when he screams at the statue in the Well of Souls to his very last scene when he cracks up laughing over the origin of the name "Indiana."
---> '''Sallah:''' The ''dog?'' You were named after the DOG? *uproarious laughter* 
*** "I'm so pleased you're not dead!"
* Also, after the desert chase, when Indy is examining his wounds in a mirror, and Marion flips the mirror around, whanging him on the chin. Cut to [[DistantReactionShot exterior shot of the ship they're on, and the most anguished scream ever]].
-->'''Marion:''' You say something?
* Indy stealing the uniform of the Officer that questioned how badly the first uniform he stole fits him.
* The DVD special features have some utterly hilarious footage of Spielberg chastising one the snakes from the Well of Souls scene after discovering that, being cold blooded, snakes actually like to be close to fire. "You like fire? But it says in the script that you hate fire. Why do you like fire? You're ruining my movie!"
* Toht advances on Marion, pulling out what looks like a nasty torture device...which he then folds into a coat hanger.
** And it's based on a deleted scene from ''1941'', which Spielberg swore he'd try to put in all of his movies until it stayed in.
* Indiana's reaction to Belloq's mocking as he's trapped in the Well of Souls:
--> '''Belloq:''' "What a fitting end to your life's pursuits. You're about to become a permanent addition to this archeological find. Who knows? In a thousand years even you may be worth something."
--> '''Indiana:''' (smiling) "Ahahahahh!..." (slowly panicking) "sonofabitch..."
* In the bar fight, Indy and a Mook are grappling over a gun and another mook is told "Shoot zem... shoot zem both." They promptly, of one mind, ''both turn and shoot the other mook''.

!!''Temple of Doom''

* Willie throwing off the snake that Indy tried to warn her about thinking it was the elephant.
* Indy and Short Round arguing about who was the bigger cheat while Willie runs screaming from every little noise.
** To boot, it starts off in English before switching over into Chinese and then back into English without skipping a beat. So if you aren't laughing at Willie, you're watching a kid and a grown man engage in full on HamToHamCombat with GratuitousForeignLanguage.
* The whole dinner at the palace.
* Most of what Short Round says elevates him from being a mere EthnicScrappy to a [[FromTheMouthsOfBabes funny-as-hell little kid]]. "Maybe he like...''older'' women" and "You tell me later" stand out in particular.
** "[[YouNoTakeCandle He no nuts! He CRAZY!]]"
* From the DVD making of special: the description of how one of the elephants ate part of Willie's very expensive dress, to which they actually had to put on the insurance form "eaten by elephant."
* This dialogue:
-->'''Willie:''' A hole. He put two holes in my dress from Paris!\\
'''Lao Shi:''' SIT DOWN!\\
''[Willie sits away from Indy]''
** And this:
-->'''Indy:''' Where's my gun?! WHERE'S MY GUN?!!\\
'''Willie:''' I burned my fingers AND I CRACKED A NAIL!!!!
* "Are you actually developing a sense of humor or am I going deaf?"
* Indy punches a cigarette lady. Of course, the poison is starting to run through his system.
* Willie tries to get the diamond, but people keep kicking it.
* "I hate the water! And I hate being wet! And I hate ''YOU!!!!!''"
** "Good!"
* "Willie, quit monkeying around in that thing."
* Indy and Shorty are being crushed in the spike trap. Willie has to feel inside a hole for a lever to save them. Inside it is full of bugs.
-->'''Indy:''' Just feel inside!\\
'''Willie:''' YOU FEEL INSIDE!\\
''[Indy's fist comes through the wall.]''\\
'''Indy:''' Do. It. NOW!\\

* "Willie, WE are going to DIE!" Followed by the most stone-cold serious [[{{Emoticon}} :C]] face you could ever imagine.
* The bedroom scene in which Indiana is hunting for the secret passage while Willie has other things on her mind...
-->'''Indy:''' Nobody's here.\\
'''Willie:''' No, ''I'm'' here.\\
''[Indy shakes his head]''
* "Nice try, Lao Che!"
* "A boat?! We're not sinking! WE'RE CRASHING!"

!!''Last Crusade''
* [[CatchPhrase "It belongs]] [[ItBelongsInAMuseum in a museum!"]] [[TakeThat "So do you!"]]
* Indy breaking a floor tile in time to a Librarian stamping his books, with the Librarian looking in utter bewilderment at his suddenly incredibly noisy rubber stamp.
* "No ticket!"
** Made even funnier by the fact that he's speaking plain American English to a bunch of German passengers.
* Most of Indy and Henry's lines, in fact; SeanConnery and Harrison Ford have ''excellent'' comic timing for normally dramatic actors.
* [spotting fighter planes] "Dad! Eleven o'clock!" [Henry checks pocket watch] "...what happens at eleven o'clock?!"
** Just after that, when one of the enemy fighters gets on the biplane's tail, Henry Sr. takes up the gun and shoots at him... and [[OhCrap tears up his own plane's tail section]].
-->'''Indiana/Henry Jr.''': Dad! Are we hit?
-->'''Henry Sr.''': More or less... Son I'm sorry, [[BlatantLies they got us]]
* "Junior... the floor's on fire... and the chair... and the table!"
** "Dad!" "What?" "DAD!" "WHAT??" "DAD!!" "WHAAAT?!?" "Head for the fireplace!"
** "Our situation has not improved."
* The hilariously awkward {{beat}} between Indy and Henry Sr. when he finds out his dad slept with Elsa. 
** "She talks in her sleep."
*** "I'm as human as the next man." "Dad, I ''was'' the next man!"
* The scene where Indy sneaks into the Nazi rally in disguise and runs into Hitler . . . who thinks Indy's just a starstruck fan.
** And autographs the notebook containing instructions on how to find the {{MacGuffin}}.
* "How does one get off this thing?" Made even funnier when Henry notices that Brody's no longer on the tank - you can see him lying there in the background, dazed and probably wondering what the hell just happened.
* Sean Connery squawking like a seagull!
** And the seagulls causing the Nazi plane to crash.
* The scene where they're trying to infiltrate the Nazi castle that Henry Sr. is being held in.
-->'''Butler''': If you are a Scottish lord, then ''I am Mickey Mouse!''
-->'''Indy''': ''(In a hilariously bad Scottish accent)'' How dare he? ''*knocks out butler*''
* One of the German pilots actually trying to fly into the tunnel to chase after Indy and Henry, tearing off the plane's wings and setting it on fire, and ending up passing their car. The look on the pilot's face just says, "I did not think this through."
* This film remarkably has a CrowningMomentOfAwesome, CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming ''AND'' CrowningMomentOfFunny all at the same time ''without a word of dialogue.'' When Henry Jones Sr., Marcus and Sallah watch the tank which they think Indy's inside go over a cliff, they all stand heartbroken on the edge of it. Indy gets up and dazedly walks to the cliff edge, staring confusedly along with everyone else.
* Sallah desperately trying to hint to Marcus that he should run as German soldiers close in on them, until he finally just shouts "Run!" and punches a soldier through his newspaper.
--> '''Marcus:''' ''(confused)'' Yes.
** Just before this, the GilliganCut from Indy telling the Nazis that they'll never be able to find Marcus as he'll blend in perfectly with the locals, to Marcus desperately asking if anyone speaks English.
*** Which has some of Marcus' most hilarious lines. For example:
--> '''Marcus:''' Does anybody here speak English? Or even Ancient Greek? Water? no thank you sir. No...no, fish make love in it. Chicken? No thank you, I'm a ''vegetarian!'' Does anyone understand a word I'm saying?!
** And when Sallah tells Marcus to hide in a nearby shop, which is, in fact, a Nazi truck that drives off. Sallah can only stare and lean over in disappointment.
* A TemptingFate moment:
--> '''Henry''': What are you doing? Get down!
--> '''Indy''': Don't worry, Dad. We're well out of range.
--> '''''BOOM!'''''
--> ''(Sallah's car was hit)''
--> '''Sallah''': That car belongs to my brother-in-law.
* This exchange between Indy and Henry Sr. after it comes out that Indy brought the MacGuffin with him:
-->'''Henry Sr.''': I should've mailed it to the Marx Brothers.
-->'''Indy''': Will you take it easy?
-->'''Henry Sr.''': Take it easy?! Why do you think I sent it home in the first place? So it wouldn't fall into their hands!
-->'''Indy''': I came here to save you!
-->'''Henry Sr.''': Oh yeah?! Well who's gonna come to save you, Junior?!
** And "Don't call me 'Junior!'"
* "What about the boat? We're not going on the boat?"

!!''Kingdom of the Crystal Skull''

* "Any last words?" "[[ThisIsSparta I. Like. Ike.]]". 
** The day I went to see that movie I resolved to myself that if I had any control over it, those would be my last words.
* "Damn! I thought that was closer!"
* Indy and Mutt butting into the school library with a motorcycle and the ensuing scene with the student.
** Similar to Indy and ''his'' father riding a motorcycle.
** Like ''his'' father, Indy was not amused at Mutt's driving. Mostly because he just decapitated the statue of his old friend Marcus Brody.
* When Indy, Marion, Oxley and Mutt are running from the Soviets' campsite (provoked by Mutt's own IndyPloy), Indy says "This is intolerable!" Apparently now that his old man is dead, Indy is picking up his speech mannerisms (a thing that people with recently dead (grand)parents will attest is often TruthInTelevision).
* Marion [[StopHelpingMe giving Mutt advice]] during his swordfight with Irina, and also Mutt narrowly avoiding GroinAttack by some plants.
-->"IT'S NOT A MATCH, MOM!"
* The waterfall portion.
* The bit with the drysand pit:
-->'''Mutt:''' Grab the snake!\\
'''Indy:''' Stop calling it that! Call it something else!\\
'''Mutt:''' It's a snake, what do you want me to call it?\\
'''Indy:''' A rope!\\
'''Mutt:''' What?!\\
'''Indy:''' Say, "Grab the rope!"\\
'''Mutt and Marion:''' GRAB THE ROPE!
* After Indy learns [[spoiler:Mutt is his son]] (and after he didn't mind the story about how he dropped out of college for no real reason), blowing up on Marion, going, "WHY DIDN'T YOU MAKE HIM FINISH ''SCHOOL?!''"
** The gag is sold when the drysand ''stops'' pulling them down when the revelation is made.
* The Jones gang almost being pushed off the cliff, whilst Mac yells "This is VERY dangerous!" in a hysterical voice and Oxley laughs maniacally.
* The nuclear testing ground. The overly bright colors and happy figurines just scream TheFifties so well that it borders on parody.
* When they are attacked at Orellana's Tomb, one of the attackers tries to shoot a poison dart at an unsuspecting Mutt, only for Indy to blow it right into the attacker's throat. This mirrors the same trick Bugs Bunny used in the LooneyTunes shorts "Bushy Hare" and "Pre-Hysterical Hare".
* The argument between Indy, Mutt, and Marion after Mutt finds out that [[spoiler:[[LukeIAmYourFather Indy is his dad]]]]. He takes it better than that [[StarWars other kid]], though he also spends some time in denial. Then the Soviet guarding them is so annoyed by the continued arguing that he gags Marion - who is still able to shout despite her mouth being tied shut. (She must have had some practice after ''Raiders''.) And ''then'' all three of them overpower the guard before the big Jungle Chase.
