History Funny / LesMiserables2012

* The way "Beggars at the Feast" is choreographed. Instead of the Thenardiers leading the guests in a raunchy dance like the stage version, [[spoiler:Marius has his servants carry them downstairs and throw them outside. The entire time, they continue to sing about how they're totally the ones who always succeed]].

*** Not really a ''bilingual'' bonus, since most of the characters speak UsefulNotes/BritishEnglish, which uses 'courgette' rather than 'zucchini'.

* The entire "Waltz of Treachery". Highlights include Valjean quite calmly taking back the hat Thenardier tried to nick off him, and Cosette's indignant "I don't ''believe'' this" look through the entire thing.

* When Javert puts on that cap while infiltrating the revolutionaries, he looks a lot like Creator/RussellCrowe in ''[[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Fightin' 'Round the World'']].

** There is also a random cow standing around during that scene while everyone else is rushing around to get furniture. It disappears just as randomly as it appears.

* When Javert kills himself, as he hits the water there's a sickening CRACK! sound...it's a powerful scene, until you watch it again. IT'S THE STOCK BONE CRUNCH SOUND EFFECT, just pitched down slightly while a bit muffled.

*** The both of us.

** Near the end of "Javert's Intervention", Madame Thenardier attempts to distract Javert by [[DistractedByTheSexy showing some of her skin]] but [[IgnoreTheFanservice Javert remains unfazed.]]

* The fact that this heartrending musical based on a ridiculously tragic book was released on Christmas must have felt like a cruel joke for first time viewers.

-->'''Thenardier''': How dare you!?

* This gem from the first encounter Valjean as Monsieur Madeleine has with Javert after he broke his parole and made a new life for himself as the Mayor:
-->'''Javert''': It seems to me, we may have met...
-->'''Valjean''': Your face is not a face I would forget.
** The shit-eating grin on his face as Valjean/Monsieur Madeleine is saying that, and the "Haha...wait, what?" look on Javert's face as he receives the back-handed compliment.
*** Also, the emphases he puts on the last word of that line, "Forget" might be a callback to "Look Down", where Javert warns Jean Valjean to [[MemeticMutation "NOT FORGET MY NAAAAME"]], which makes the line even funnier.

* In "Master of the House", an unnamed guy playing Father Christmas in the street - replete with presents, wagon-sleigh and reindeer, etc. - gets lured into the inn by a prostitute and he is shown a good time. After the number, an epic BrickJoke happens: we see the very drunk Father Christmas again--now missing his hat, beard, pants, presents and ''wheels'' and down to only one reindeer--being dragged along on the wheel-less sleigh by said lone reindeer while drunkenly singing the chorus. He seems pretty happy, all things considered.

* Grantaire is not present during the funeral procession scene. Where is he? Back at the Cafe Musain with a waitress sitting on his lap, to be rudely interrupted when the others come rushing back with soldiers on their tail.

** Especially funny is before "Waltz of Treachery," when Valjean is saying that he's come to take Cosette away from the Thenardiers with Fantine's blessing, Thenardier is trying to get Cosette to come over to him and Madame, but she won't and when he tries this again and again, she shakes her head.
** There's this brilliant moment when Madame Thenardier drops her hankerchief, so Valjean will pick it up for and she'll pick his pockets while he's distracted. Instead, Valjean just gives her this ''Really?'' look, causing her to shrug sheepishly.

** During "The Robbery", there's Javert's "YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe" expression when Thenardier says "In the absence of a victim, dear Inspector, may I go?" and tries to clean his jacket with spit and a handkerchief. It's like he can't believe this homeless creep actually just did that.

* While intended as a dramatic moment, Marius' threat to blow up the barricade is made absolutely hilarious when the soldiers retreat and Enjolras' arm slowly reaches into the frame and carefully takes the torch away from him.
