History Funny / MaryPoppins

!!The books
* When Mr. Banks returns home to find Miss Andrew gone, Mrs. Banks (not knowing that Mary Poppins scared Miss Andrew into leaving) explains that the children acted so rude, she left early. Mr. Banks scolds Jane and Michael, but also gives each of them sixpence as thanks.
* While Jane and Michael call each other ugly, Mary Poppins ends the fight by telling them that the most beautiful person in the house is "nobody by the name of Banks!"

* But the CrowningMomentOfFunny has to go to Mr. Dawes Sr.[[spoiler:(DickVanDyke)]] after he muddles over Bank's joke and really starts to get into it. It's awesome watching him shoot up into the air like a rocket laughing only for Jr. to cry, "FATHER! COME BACK! DADDY!!!"

* The story of how Glynis Johns was hired: she would only do it if she got her own song, so the Sherman Brothers quickly changed the lyrics of a Mary song that they'd discarded.[[hottip:*:The song, of course, was "Sister Suffragette", and Glynis sang the hell out of it, despite her limited vocal range. She would later go on to originate the role of Desiree in StephenSondheim's ''A Little Night Music'', where she sang "Send in the Clowns" to great acclaim.]]
* For this troper, anytime the cannon is fired and what happens in the household before and after it happens.

* When Admiral Boom breaks up the rooftop Step In Time with fireworks, Burt uses sends one back by using his sweeper like a golf club. Boom yells, "Good shot!" before ducking.

-->'''Mr. Banks:''' Madame! That is entirely beside the point!

* While Jane and Michael call each other ugly, the egotistical Mary Poppins ends the fight by telling them that the most beautiful person in the house is "nobody by the name of Banks!"

** Mrs. Banks had another good moment with her line "Oh, George! You didn't jump in the river! How sensible of you!"

--> Constable (on the phone to the Inspector: That's what I said, sir. Go fly a kite! No. . no, I don't mean you ''personally''

....[stern] There's no objection on that score, I hope.

* When Bert is dancing with the penguins, [[ItMakesSenseInContext after he pulls his pants back up,]] the face he makes is ''hilarious.'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nQtRSHKDpg It's at 3:02 in this video.]]

--> Michael: She may be tricky, but she's bloody good!\\
[Cast, save for Mary, are in shock, as Bert covers Michael's mouth]

....[stern] There's no objection on that score, I hope.\\

** Even funnier is Mr. Banks' utterly lack of reaction to the cannon firing. Doesn't even blink.

** "'''POSTS EVERYONE!'''"
