History Funny / OceansEleven

* Willy Banks is such a {{Jerkass}} it 180's around to being funny half the time.

'''Banks:''' ...[[ShameIfSomethingHappened Well I don't WANT to]]...

* A quick gag when Benedict tears down Rueben's old casino - the shot quickly cuts from Danny at the ceremony to Basher avidly trying to watch the demolition on tv, oblivious to the fact that it's happening ''right behind him'' out the window.

** While Basher is explaining the problem using cockney slang:

* When Reuben is fretting about Danny and Linus, Saul reassures him that they will be here while still in character as Lyman Zerga. Reuben mockingly repeats, "They will be here" - right down to badly imitating Zerga's Eastern European accent - before adding, "Shchmuck".

* When Basher activates the pinch it interrupts the high profile boxing match happening during the heist. When the power comes back on, the boxers go from standing around in confusion to lunging wildly at eacher - causing a near riot in the ring even after the bell rings. At the same time, an ''actual'' riot erupts in the casino, with people randomly cold clocking one another and trying to snatch chips.

*** This is even funnier by the fact that this is one of only two lines ''in the entire trilogy'' that Yen says in English. Not to mention that had they ''been'' on time, he'd have been blown to bits. Danny and Linus' sheepish apologies sell it even better.

* Yen asks a serious, practical question about the robbery in Mandarian, [[TranslationConvention and Rusty gives a serious answer in English]]. For whatever reason, the thieves can magically understand one another.

* Reuben is approached by Benedict and his goons while he's visiting a fortune teller. He gives her a dumbfounded look and asks how she couldn't have seen this.
* When the group gets together just after Benedict has found and threatened everyone, the group is more concerned and hurt about the fact that Benedict called them "Ocean's 11", and voice their concerns to Danny, while Rusty simply smirks.

*** And how very, ''very'' blatantly those flashbacks display their appropriate decade. The third one in particular seems to have borrowed its [[TheEighties Eighties]] costumes, cars, soundtrack, and even its '''cinematography''' directly from ''Series/MiamiVice''.

* When Reuben is fretting about Danny and Linus, Saul reassures him that they will be here, Reuben mockingly repeats, "They will be here", before adding, "Shchmuck".

* Linus talks Danny and Rusty into letting him do more for the team while in Europe. So they bring him along to a meet with Matsui (played by Creator/RobbieColtrane), during which Matsui converses with a bizarre code slang. When Matsui nods at Linus for a response, the flustered rookie con artist can only come up with lyrics to Music/LedZeppelin's "Kashmir". Which seemingly enrages Matsui. Linus' mom finds out during the movie's end and gently chides him for it because he, Danny, and Rusty were doing was called the "Lost in Translation": a prank on newbies Matsui likes to play, implied to just mess with them a bit. The best part is that its not made clear if the code the three were talking in was just gibberish or an ''actual code'' he uses.

--->'''Tess''': It's--it's--it's Julia, I'm with Bruce Willis--

-->'''Julia''': Hello?
-->'''Tess''': Uh, hello? Marcus?
-->'''Julia''': No, it's ''Julia'', who's this?
-->'''Tess''': It's--it's--it's Julia, I'm with Bruce Willis--
*** Tess then pretends the call drops out when Julia asks to speak to Bruce, but Bruce says it's fine and casually pulls out a second phone.
** Saul, posing as "Julia"'s doctor, admonishes Bruce for using a cell phone around "Julia", citing the dangers to her pregnancy, to which Bruce offhandedly brushes off with "I'm Bruce Willis."

* Linus talks Danny and Rusty into letting him do more for the team while in Europe. So they bring him along to a meet with Matsui (played by Creator/RobbieColtrane), during which Matsui converses with a bizarre code slang. When Matsui nods at Linus for a response, the flustered rookie con artist can only come up with lyrics to Music/LedZeppelin's "Kashmir". Which seemingly enrages Matsui. Linus' mom finds out during the movie's end and gently chides him for it...

-->'''Benedict:''' You think this is funny?\\
'''Danny:''' (Walking off) Well, Terry, it sure as shit ain't sad!

--->'''Yen:''' WHERE THE [[PrecisionFStrike FUCK]] YOU BEEN?\\[[note]]This is Yen's only line in English in the entire movie.[[/note]].

--->'''Yen:''' WHERE THE [[PrecisionFStrike FUCK]] YOU BEEN?\\

-->'''Reuben''': Look, we all go way back and uh, [[NoodleIncident I owe you from the thing with the guy in the place]] and I'll never forget it.\\
'''Danny''': That was our pleasure.\\
'''Rusty''': I'd never been to Belize.

-->'''Turk''': Waiting. I'm waiting.\\
'''Virgil''': Yes, go.\\
'''Turk''': Waiting on you, sweetheart.\\
'''Virgil''': You what?\\
'''Turk''': ''Go'', little gi--you're like a little girl.\\

'''Turk''': Don't-- I'm gonna get out of the car and drop you like third period French, okay?\\
'''Virgil''': ''What''?\\
'''Turk''': Stop it and ''go''!

-->'''Danny''': Which one's The Amazing Yen?\\

'''Danny''': ''({{Beat}}, has an "are-you-serious" stare)''

-->'''Danny''': Ten ought to do it, don't you think?\\
'''Rusty''': ''(says nothing)''\\
'''Danny''': You think we need one more?\\
'''Rusty''': ''(still says nothing)''\\
'''Danny''': You think we need one more.\\
'''Rusty''': ''(still nothing)''\\
'''Danny''': All right, we'll get one more. ''(walks off)''\\
'''Rusty''': ''(blinks)''

--->'''Reuben''': Can you understand any of this?\\
'''Livingston''': I'll explain later.

-->'''Rusty''': Don't use seven words when four will do; don't shift your weight. Look always at your mark, but don't stare. Be specific but not memorable; be funny but don't make him laugh. He's gotta like you, and then forget you the moment you've left his sight. And for God's sake, whatever you do, don't, under any circumstances--\\
'''Livingston''': ''(off screen)'' Rust, can you take a look at this?\\
'''Rusty''': Sure. ''(leaves)''\\
'''Linus''': ...

-->'''Linus''': Apparently he's got a record longer than my... Well...it's long.\\
'''Benedict''': ''(glances at Linus' crotch)''

-->'''Rusty''': I hope you were the groom.\\
'''Danny''': ''({{Beat}})'' Music/TedNugent [[XCalledTheyWantTheirYBack called; he wants his shirt back]].

-->'''Isabel''': Hopefully by noon tomorrow, we'll have his DNA, what kind of conditioner he uses, if he streaks his hair, if he has dandruff, everything.
-->''[camera cuts to what Rusty is looking at with worry: his conditioner, hair highlighter, and dandruff shampoo]''

-->'''Danny''': ...So what's Bruce Willis like?

-->'''Reuben:''' What are you gonna do? Throw me off the roof?
-->'''Banks:''' ...[[ShameIfSomethingHappened Well I don't WANT to]]...

* After Danny and his crew respond to Benedict's attempted double-crossing of them by donating the money they promised him to a orphan's charity, in his name:

'''Danny:''' Well, Terry, it sure as shit ain't sad!

'''Danny:''' Little bit, did I rush it?\\

* Linus talks Danny and Rusty into letting him do more for the team while in Europe. So they bring him along to a meet with Matsui (played by Creator/RobbieColtrane), during which Matsui converses with a bizarre code slang. When Matsui nods at Linus for a response, the flustered rookie con artist can only come up with lyrics to Music/LedZeppelin's "Kashmir". Which seemingly enrages Matsui. Linus' mom finds out during the movie's end and gently chides him for it.

* Reuben fretting about Danny and Linus Sol reassures him that they will be here, Reuben mockingly repeats, "They will be here", before adding, "Shchmuck".

-->'''Reuben''': Can you understand any of this?
-->'''Livingston''': I'll explain later.

* Basher hamming it up as Fender Roads: "This is HEAVY BIKE! Fender Roads is a--" ''(pretends to play patriotic music on a flute)'' "I'M A GODDAMN AMERICAN ICON!" ''(salute)''
** This brief exchange between Virgil and Turk as they're hacking Bank's computer during Basher's distraction:

** Speaking of the stories: The fact that the punch line for each incident is accompanied by a FreezeFrameBonus!

'''Danny''': ''({{Beat}})'' [[XCalledTheyWantTheirYBack Ted Nugent called; he wants his shirt back]].

** This gets even funnier, when you find out this is an ''actual prank'' that George Clooney (a notorious on-set prankster) played on Julia Roberts during filming of the first movie - she'd get a 5:30am wakeup call, when she wasn't due on the set until noon.
* When Plan A goes wrong, Linus coaxes Tess to fly to Italy in order to perform a "[[CelebrityParadox Looky-Loo]]". In the limo from the airport Tess argues what's going on while Linus and Basher bicker over [[Creator/JuliaRoberts Julia Roberts]]' accent that she's supposed to put on; of all people [[Creator/DonCheadle Basher]] himself states "[[HypocriticalHumor The accent is crucial]]. [[TakeThatMe That's the first thing people notice]]!"

* Willy Banks is such a JerkAss it 180's around to being funny half the time.

* When the team refers to Toulour as a "freak" for his excessive security measures, Linus goes on a long tangent how it's wrong to label someone with "agraphoriaphobia" as a freak.

'''Virgil:''' Who's Emily Dickinson?

--->'''Reuben:''' What are you gonna do? Throw me off the roof?
