History Funny / KillBill

* Bill telling Elle to abort the mission at the hospital:

* "And... that hat. That fuckin' hat.... How many times have I told you, don't wear that ''fucking'' hat here." [...] "I'm not the boss of the customers, I'm the boss of ''you.'' And I'm telling you, that I want you to keep that ''shit-kicker hat'' at home!"

--->'''Sofie Fatale:''' "この fuck 野郎と同じようにね。"[[note]]"Kono fuck yarou to onaji you ni ne," or as O-ren put it just beforehand, "Just like this fucker right here."[[/note]]

* The Bride is about to kill the last Crazy 88 standing when the lights turn on and she sees it's a terrified teenage boy. Undaunted, she promptly uses her katana to cut the kid's sword into pieces. The kid throws away what's left of the sword and surrenders. The Bride bends him over her knee, spanks him with the flat of her blade while chastising him with PunctuatedPounding, and sends him running away with his tail between his legs.

-->'''Elle:''' ''[[UnderStatement Gross]]''.

[[caption-width-right:350:Uh oh, looks like somebody is in for a spanking.]]

* The Bride using sheer focus to get her toes moving again post-coma. It takes telling herself (obviously to the audience too) an entire, lengthy backstory of O-Ren to fuel her desire for revenge to get one of her big toes moving. Then she prepares to heal the other toes. Cue a "Thirteen Hours Later" board.

** "Like all Yankee women, all you can do is order in restaurants and spend a man's money."

* Buck could not have made his car easier to locate in a parking lot. The bride is speeding in her wheelchair past ordinary looking cars, when she practically does a double take and slams on the brakes at the sight of a gaudily customized yellow pickup truck with the name "PUSSY WAGON" emblazoned in huge letters on the back. She takes out the matching keychain, looks back at the Pussy Wagon, and gives a little smile of triumph.
* Boss Tanaka's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLvz5E61UNs decapitation]]. It's so over the top that it becomes hilarious, with many of the Yakuzas all but freaking out and Gogo Yubari (the most psychotic of O-Ren's posse) having a barely-restrained grin on her face.
** Same with Sofie Fatale (O-ren's lawyer), who laughs a little and then calmly translates into Japanese what O-Ren is telling the Yakuza in English.
--->'''Sofie Fatale:''' "このfuck野郎と同じようにね。"[[note]]"Kono fuck yarou to onaji you ni ne," or as O-ren put it just beforehand, "Just like this fucker right here."[[/note]]

* [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oqgBcW1X31g#t=2m22s "Funny, you like samurai swords. I like baseball."]]
* Just about everything Pai Mei [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCgop5X35yw says and does]] in spite of [[DrillSergeantNasty his cruel training]]. In a hilarious subversion of common OldMaster tropes (at peace with the world, relaxed, grandfatherly), Pai Mei's very first words to the Bride: "Your Mandarin is lousy. It causes my ears discomfort. You bray like an ass!"

** "From here, [[PreemptiveDeclaration you can get an excellent view of my foot]]." *kicks*
*** HAHAHAHA! [[StrokeTheBeard *strokes beard*]]

* During the fight between Beatrix and the Crazy-88, one of the Mooks lets out a [[StockScream Wilhelm scream.]]
* When the last of the Crazy 88 is standing, The Bride is about to kill him when the lights turn on and she sees it's a terrified teenage boy. Undaunted, she promptly uses her katana to cut the kid's sword into pieces. The kid throws away what's left of the sword and surrenders. The Bride bends him over her knee, spanks him with the flat of her blade while chastising him with PunctuatedPounding, and sends him running away with his tail between his legs.

** It's even funnier in the uncut Japanese version, because this is the Bride's second encounter with him in the fight. The first time, she cuts off his mask and after seeing that he is a whimpering teenager, [[GrievousHarmWithABody tosses him into a group of mooks.]]

* It's definitely BlackComedy, but Elle looking completely nonplussed and nonchalantly swirling her drink as the black mamba hidden in Budd's suitcase bites him repeatedly, causing him to thrash madly in response to the poison is weirdly funny.

** "Oh, I'm sorry. That was rude of me. Budd, meet my good friend, the Black Mamba. Black Mamba, this is Budd." (And then she goes on to read verbatim the encyclopedia entry she copied like nothing has changed.)

** "The amount of venom that can be delivered from a single bite can be gargantuan. You know, I've always liked that word 'gargantuan'. I so rarely have a chance to use it in a sentence."

* When fighting the Crazy 88, the Bride snatches out one guy's eye and throws it down the throat of another guy. We get a ReactionShot from Sofie (who's lying on the floor with her arm cut off) where she goes, "Eurgh." It's hilarious.

*** His hooker/girlfriend then saying "Do you want me to leave?", feeling the awkwardness is ten times better.

-->'''Elle''': ''[[UnderStatement Gross]]''.

-->[[VillainousBreakdown I'll kill you,]] [[ClusterFBomb you fucking bitch! You fucking bitch!]] I'll kill you! ... [[OhCrap Oh shit]].\\
[[CrossesTheLineTwice Give it back!]]
** The lead up to this moment. Firstly, the Bride and Elle are staring down each other, with swords in hand. Dramatic music plays as they do this, which continues as the two have a BladeLock. [[CatScare The music appears to be building up to a climax as our hero could potentially turn the tides in a dramatic way... but this doesn't happen. The Bride merely rips out Elle's other eye, causing the music to stop.]] [[AntiClimax Talk about an]] UndignifiedDeath.

-->'''Bill''': We owe her better than that.\\
'''Elle''': (''Screaming'') OH, YOU DON'T OWE HER SHIT!\\
'''Bill''': (''Quietly'') Will you keep your voice down?\\
'''Elle''': (''Lower voice, but still enraged'') You don't owe her shit.
* Pai Mei scoffs that American women are only good at ordering at restaurants. What is the first thing she does after surviving the Texas Funeral? Goes into a restaurant and orders a glass of water.
* The Crazy 88's calling their server [[{{ComicStrip/Peanuts}} Charlie Brown]].
* The entire scene in the hotel when the Bride learns she is pregnant right before being attacked by Karen Kim. Karen trying to simultaneously [[ItMakesSenseInContext keep a shotgun leveled at the Bride while reading the instructions on a pregnancy test]]. Karen leaves, but not before congratulating the Bride through the hole she blew through the door earlier.

* After The Bride finally meets Bill and their child in the flesh, she finds them both playing pretend shooting, the Bride trying to keep it together at the sight of her own child. After her kid "shoots" her, she plays along after a few minutes of shock and silence.

* The Bride's reaction to Bill's explanation: "You overreacted?! THAT'S your explanation?!"

** Hanzo then asks why The Bride needs "Japanese steel" from him.
--->'''The Bride:''' ''(in Japanese)'' [[BadassBoast I have vermin to kill.]]\\
'''Hanzo:''' ''(in English)'' You must have big rats, you need Hattori Hanzo's steel.\\

* The cut to the Bride's childhood classroom during roll call after her real name is revealed by Elle. Not only do the other kids in her class have [[UnfortunateNames truly atrocious names]], but the Bride's childhood self is *'''still'''* portrayed by the fully-grown Uma Thurman.

** Also, all of the FunnyBruceLeeNoises he made during their fight.

* The school bus pulling up in front of Vernita's house is a hilarious reminder that the deadly battle is occurring in oblivious, white-picket-fence suburbs.

-->'''Elle:''' [answering the phone] Bill?\\

'''Elle:''' '''Budd.''' [saying his name like it's a particularly gross swear word.]
* And Budd telling Elle to get her bony ass down there.
* "Charlie Brown" and the other proprietor of the House of Blue Leaves" (his wife?) falling over themselves to satisfy O-Ren and her retinue, scared that they will kill them if they don't. And the Crazy 88, knowing this, shamelessly tease and troll the pair, demanding pizzas and with one of the female 88s demanding a kiss, right in front of everyone else including his possible wife / girlfriend, and him trying to refuse her as gently possible. It's so amusing even [[TheStoic O-Ren]] and [[PsychoForHire Gogo]] can be seen [[NotSoAboveItAll smiling]].

* While Elle and The Bride fight, the running gag of the sword repeatedly failing to be unsheathed.

* Meta humor: The original trailer for ''Volume I'', although featuring no actual bloodshed, raised the ire of the MPAA with the sight of The Bride's blood-stained clothes. As such it became the first to be subjected to the MPAA's new "no blood" policy for trailers, in which all sight of the bodily fluid must be alternately colored or removed entirely. This is why the trailers for this film (and similarly for every film released in the U.S. thereafter) feature The Bride's clothes covered in blackish-brown stains where the blood would be. Thing is, the color of dried blood is blackish-brown, which means that the MPAA unknowingly made Creator/QuentinTarantino change the color from fresh blood (red) to that of dried blood.
* Every character gets an appropriate title card in the credits, featuring a shot of them from a fitting scene...except Bill, whose title card is over the shot of his body from the ending, still face down on his back lawn. You can't even see his face.

* Beebee asks to watch the hyper-violent [[ShoutOut Shogun Assassin]] with The Bride before she goes to bed. Bill's only protest?
-->'''Bill''': Oh no, BB, ''Shogun Assassin'' is [[SkewedPriorities too long.]]

* Hattori Hanzo and his assistant bickering LikeAnOldMarriedCouple when the Bride [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIr6rEndy0A walks into his sushi bar.]] Hanzo even has to verbally drag the assistant out of the breakroom where he was [[DaytimeDramaQueen watching his stories]]. Please note the Bride nonchalantly ducking under their joined arms while Hanzo is twisting his assistant's finger. The UltimateBlacksmith is too engrossed in kvetching to realize that the supposedly-DumbBlonde is just taking all this in like a floor show. Bonus points for Creator/UmaThurman visibly trying to keep from {{Corpsing}} while this is going on.

** Even funnier is when Bud's boss rants about a car wash before saying, "And I own a fucking car wash."

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBoP2l7VBeo The Bride is standing right outside Bud's house]]. She dramatically throws the door open...only to be [[IncrediblyLamePun blown]] [[BlownAcrossTheRoom away]] by two 12-gauge shotgun rounds of pure rock salt to the chest.

---> '''Sofie Fatale:''' "このfuck野郎と同じようにね。"[[note]]"Kono fuck yarou to onaji you ni ne," or as O-ren put it just beforehand, "Just like this fucker right here."[[/note]]

--->'''The Bride''': [[PunctuatedForEmphasis This! Is what! You get! For fucking! Around! With yakuzas!]] [[GetOut Go home to your mother!]]

--->'''Elle''': ''[[UnderStatement Gross]]''.

---> [[VillainousBreakdown I'll kill you,]] [[ClusterFBomb you fucking bitch! You fucking bitch!]] I'll kill you! ... [[OhCrap Oh shit]].
----> [[CrossesTheLineTwice Give it back!]]

-->'''Bill''': We owe her better than that.
-->'''Elle''': (''Screaming'') OH, YOU DON'T OWE HER SHIT!
-->'''Bill''': (''Quietly'') Will you keep your voice down?
-->'''Elle''': (''Lower voice, but still enraged'') You don't owe her shit.

-> '''Elle:''' [answering the phone] Bill?
-> '''Budd:''' Wrong brother, you hateful bitch.
-> '''Elle:''' '''Budd.''' [saying his name like it's a particularly gross swear word.]

* While the scene itself is bittersweet, Bill just falling over after taking his steps is [[BlackComedy]]. Made funnier when, in the credits, the shot they chose to use of him, in contrast to the other, more serious shots of the other assassins, is of him lying there on the ground.

--->'''The Bride''': This! Is what! You get! For fucking! Around! With yakuzas! Go home to your mother!

* "Charlie Brown" and the other proprietor of the House of Blue Leaves" (his wife?) falling over themselves to satisfy O-Ren and her retinue, scared that they will kill them if they don't.

It's so amusing even [[TheStoic O-Ren]] and [[PsychoForHire Gogo]] can be seen [[NotSoAboveItAll smiling]].

** Also, [[FreezeFrameBonus blink and you'll miss it]], but extra points to Uma Thurman for the hilarious YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe look on her face when the lights are turned on.

** Oh, I'm sorry. That was rude of me. Budd, meet my good friend, the Black Mamba. Black Mamba, this is Budd." (And then she goes on to read verbatim the encyclopedia entry she copied like nothing has changed.)
