History Funny / PulpFiction

* Mia, after almost dying from a heroin overdose, being bought back by an emergency adrenaline shot to the heart and told to say something:

* Pretty much every single time Jules opens his mouth. But [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4PkBCD4mdY the Brett scene]] is the one that became the symbol of the entire movie.

'''Jules:''' (whips out gun) Say "what" again! Say! "What"! ''Again!'' I DARE you! I DOUBLE DARE YOU, motherfucker! Say "what" ''one more goddamn time!''

'''Brett:''' What?! ''(gets shot in the shoulder)''\\

* When Jules is reciting the famous bible passage, Vincent can be seen prepping his gun in the background. He’s been through this so many times he knows what’s coming next.

-->'''Lance:''' "Have you lost your ''fucking mind''!? You're talking about drug shit on a cellular phone! You crashed your car into my ''fucking house!!'' Hey! Hey! HEY! Are you deaf!? You are not bringing this fucked-up bitch into my house!"

** The build-up to that shot, with Lance arguing with Vincent on the phone ("Are you calling from a cell phone?! I don't know you! PRANK CALLER, PRANK CALLER!" *hangs up*)

--> '''Marsellus''': ''[With pure astonishment]''... motherfucker!

** The resulting foot chase between Marsellus and Butch; Butch runs Marsellus over with his car, then is T-boned by another motorist, and both are stumbling half-conscious down the street. In particular is the shot where Butch is hiding behind a corner, and in the distance Marsellus is seen stumbling and falling while randomly firing his gun into the ground.

-->"Well you gotta have an opinion. [[TemptingFate I mean, do you think God came down from heaven and stopped..."]] '''''[[BoomHeadshot *BANG!*]]'''''

** Also HilariousInHindsight when you consider that Creator/PhilLaMarr's other character [[WesternAnimation/EvilConCarne Hector Con Carne]] have also lost their brains.

** Best of all: It was Creator/JohnTravolta's own idea to play the scene for comedy. The original script had it more serious, but Travolta asked Tarantino if he could say it as it is in the film; in his own words, "as if he'd just stepped on his toe or something." The rest is black comedy history.

* "What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' niggers, who'll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass!"

* "I can't believe this is the same car." To which the Wolf replies: "Let's not start sucking each others dicks just yet."
* Vincent and Jules are forced to ditch their blood-spattered clothes, so Jimmy gives them quite unflattering combinations of shorts and T-shirts. In his own words, "Dorks. They look like a couple of dorks." The response is also good ("Ha-ha-ha. They're ''your'' clothes, motherfucker.").

-->'''Vincent:''' Jules. You give that nimrod [Ringo] $1,500, I'll shoot him on general principle.\\

** Plus Jimmy holding up his hand to his wife as if to say, "Wait, this isn't as bad as it looks. I can explain!"
* [[BreakThemByTalking "If my answers frighten you, Vincent, then you should cease asking scary questions."]] Both Awesome and Hilarious because this was the first statement to ever shut up Vincent.

* The reveal of The Gimp is kind of hilarious with how it's filmed--almost as a FunnyBackgroundEvent--and with how it takes a minute to open the various boxes and gates he's kept in.
* Marsellus calling up The Wolf to help [[CleanupCrew dispose of Marvin's body]]. "It's 30 minutes away, I'll be there in ten". Cut to The Wolf arriving in Jimmy's neighborhood exactly nine minutes and thirty-seven seconds later according to the caption. This is the ''only'' moment a time-stamp is used in the movie, by the way.

* On the climb up to Brett's apartment, Vincent and Jules argue about the intimacy of foot massages and whether it [[DisproportionateRetribution warranted tossing poor Tony Rocky Horror]] out a four-story window into a glass landing. They start to quiet down as they approach Brett's door but realize they're about a minute early. So they turn the corner into the next corridor and continue their debate until it's time to "get into character." There's also this exchange when Vincent is trying to remember who Tony Rocky Horror is:

** And the way [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall the camera stays at the door but turns]] to look at Vincent and Jules argue from a distance, as though impatient waiting for them to get back and do the job.

* Zed pulls the "Eenie Meenie Miney Mo" routine to decide who to take to the back room first, as a gagged Marsellus and Butch look on in horror. When Zed lands on Marsellus, there's a few seconds of breathless tension...before Zed continues with the "And my mother said..." variant. Marsellus ends up getting picked anyway.

** Even better, Mia decides to tell the joke as [[ItMakesSenseInContext "thanks" to Vincent for saving her life]]. He's so stressed out he's not sure he has the strength to laugh, but she quickly tells him "[[BrutalHonesty Don't worry you won't laugh because it's not funny]]."

-->'''Vincent:''' So by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he's cease to be a filthy animal?\\

* The entire [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idV4GQRflHM "Dead Nigger Storage"]] rant with Jimmy and Jules. Jimmy is such a small, meek looking white guy and for him to go off on Jules like that and Jules just taking it (really needing his help) made the entire scene funnier than it should have been.
-->'''Jimmy:''' I want to ask you a question. When you came pulling in here, did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"? \\
'''Jules:''' Jimmy, you know I ain't seen no... \\
'''Jimmy:''' ''Did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"?!''\\

'''Jimmy:''' You know WHY you didn't see that sign? \\

'''Jimmy:''' [[SuddenlyShouting 'CAUSE IT AIN'T THERE, 'CAUSE STORING DEAD NIGGERS AIN'T MY]] [[PrecisionFStrike FUCKING]] [[SuddenlyShouting BUSINESS, THAT'S WHY!]]
** Jimmy's TranquilFury at the whole situation is hilarious in general. Jules is trying to make awkward small talk about how good Jimmy's coffee is but the dude's having none of it.

** Even better, there's the [[BrickJoke Wolf's silent approval]] of the coffee when Jimmy offers him a cup.

* When Pumpkin calls out, "Garçon, coffee!" moments before he and Honey Bunny enact their spur of the moment robbery, the waitress tries to correct him by saying, "Garçon means boy". Pumpkin just gives her a YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe look.

* A kind of [[HilariousInHindsight hindsight-moment]], but seeing the film now, especially if the first time, Creator/QuentinTarantino showing up so late into the film is kind of funny. Especially since the scene is edited in a way that makes the first shot of him coming of as [[TheReveal a reveal]].

--->"[[RantInducingSlight I don't need you to tell me how fucking good my coffee is, okay?]] I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping, she buys ''shit''. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it, I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It ''ain't'' the coffee in my kitchen. It's the dead nigger in my garage."

-->'''Koons:''' He'd be ''damned'' if any Slopes were gonna put their greasy yellow hands on his boy's birthright. So... he hid it! In one place he knew he could hide somethin', his ''ass''! Five long years he wore this watch. ''Up his ass!''
** "And then he died of dysentery..."
** Koons' ''entire'' speech.
** Creator/ChristopherWalken repeatedly sounds as if [[{{Corpsing}} he's trying to keep from laughing]] during the "watch up his ass" speech.

** Also HilariousInHindsight considering that Creator/PhilLaMarr's other characters [[WesternAnimation/EvilConCarne Hector Con Carne]] and [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Hermes Conrad]] have also lost their brains.

* This:
-->'''Lance:''' Hey, what do you think about Trudy? She ain't got a boyfriend, you wanna hang out and get high?\\
'''Vincent:''' Which one's Trudy? The one with all the shit in her face?\\
'''Lance:''' ...No. That's... Jody. That's my wife.

'''Jules:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis DOES. HE. LOOK. LIKE. A BITCH?]]\\
'''Brett:''' NO!

* Vince, Jules, and their unfortunate attacker all looking utterly perplexed at 6 revolver rounds apparently passing straight through them. Also funny is that the guy who shoots at them kind of looks like Jerry Seinfeld.

** Best of all: It was John Travolta's own idea to play the scene for comedy. The original script had it more serious, but Travolta asked Tarantino if he could say it as it is in the film; in his own words, "as if he'd just stepped on his toe or something." The rest is black comedy history.

--> '''Marsellus''': ''[Pure astonishment]''...Motherfucker!

-->"Well you gotta have an opinion. [[TemptingFate I mean, do you think God came down from heaven and stopped..."]] '''*bang*'''

* A kind of [[HillariousInHindsight hindsight-moment]], but seeing the film now, especially if the first time, Quentin Tarantino showing up so late into the film is kind of funny. Especially since the scene is edited in a way that makes the first shot of him coming of as [[TheReveal a reveal]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4PkBCD4mdY The Brett scene]].

* Some seconds of silence when Marsellus and Butch [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DCTCZcFkPs stare at each other in the streets]], having crossed each other's paths completely by coincidence. During the seconds of astonished silence between Butch & Marsellus, the only sound is the radio playing the [[SoundtrackDissonance Statler Brothers]]' "Flowers on the Wall", specifically, the lyrics: "It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright". After several seconds:

'''Jimmy:''' 'Cause it ain't there, 'CAUSE STORING DEAD NIGGERS AIN'T MY ''FUCKING'' BUSINESS, THAT'S WHY!

* Vince and Mia's dead serious expressions as they do the cheesiest 50s dancing since an animated Franchise/ArchieComics short.

** The resulting foot chase between Marsellus and Butch; Marsellus is hit by a car and Butch is in a car crash, and both are stumbling half-conscious down the street. In particular is the shot where Butch is hiding behind a corner and in the distance Marsellus is seen stumbling and falling while randomly firing his gun into the ground.

* Some seconds of silence when Marsellus and Butch [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DCTCZcFkPs stare at each other in the streets]], having crossed each other's paths completely by coincidence. Broken by the perfect reaction from Marsellus:
--> '''Marsellus''': ''[Pure astonishment]''... Mother fucker!
** During the seconds of astonished silence between Butch & Marsellus, the only sound is the radio playing the [[SoundtrackDissonance dissonant]] Statler Bros. song "Flowers on the Wall", the lyrics are: "It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright"...the OhCrap look on Butch's face is pretty funny.
** Also, ''watch''ing Captain ''Kangaroo''.
** The brief foot chase between Marsellus and Butch; Marsellus is hit by a car and Butch is in a car crash, and both are stumbling half-conscious down the street. In particular is the shot where Butch is hiding behind a corner and in the distance Marsellus is seen stumbling and falling while randomly firing his gun into the ground.

* The IJustShotMarvinInTheFace scene was pure BlackComedy.

* Jules to Vincent as they're cleaning the blood off their hands: "I used the same fuckin' soap you did, and when I got finished, the towel didn't look like no goddamn maxi-pad!"

* "I can't believe this is the same car." to which the Wolf replies: "Let's not start sucking each others dicks just yet."
* Vincent and Jules are forced to ditch their blood-spattered clothes, so Jimmie gives them quite unflattering combinations of shorts and T-shirts. In his own words, "Dorks. They look like a couple of dorks." The response is also good ("Ha-ha-ha. They're ''your'' clothes, motherfucker.").

* The ImagineSpot of Bonnie coming home and finding "a couple of gangsters in her kitchen doin' a bunch of gangster shit." In it, the hardened criminals, carrying Marvin's body through the house for whatever reason, stop dead in their tracks like deer in the headlights and stare at Bonnie as if to say, "Well ''this'' is awkward..."
** Plus Jimmie holding up his hand to his wife as if to say, "Wait, this isn't as bad as it looks. I can explain!"

* The reveal of the gimp is kind of hilarious with how it's filmed--almost as a FunnyBackgroundEvent--and with how it takes a minute to open the various boxes and gates he's kept in.

** Also, when Marsellus gets a hold of the Wolf on the phone, he's apparently at a fancy cocktail party (hence the tux). That itself isn't weird, [[FridgeLogic except remember it's supposed to be nine in the morning per the movie's setting]].

* Butch finding increasingly awesome weapons in the pawn shop: hammer, baseball bat, chainsaw...and a fucking katana.

-->'''Jimmie:''' I want to ask you a question. When you came pulling in here, did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"? \\

--->"[[RantInducingSlight I don't need you to tell me how fucking good my coffee is, okay?]] I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping, she buys SHIT. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it, I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It AIN'T the coffee in my kitchen -- it's the dead nigger in my garage."
** Even better, there's the BrickJoke of Winston Wolf's silent approval of the coffee when Jimmy offers him a cup.
** "I'm gonna get fuckin' divorced. No marriage counselling, no trial separation, I'm gonna get fuckin' divorced."

* Some seconds of silence when Marsellus and Butch stared at each other in the streets, having crossed each other's paths completely by coincidence. Broken by the perfect reaction from Marsellus:

** During the seconds of astonished silence between Butch & Marsellus, the only sound is the radio playing the [[SoundtrackDissonance dissonant]] Statler Bros. song, the lyrics are: "It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright"...the OhCrap look on Butch's face is pretty funny.

* The Brett scene overall.

* The entire "Dead Nigger Storage" scene with Jimmy and Jules. Jimmy is such a small, meek looking white guy and for him to go off on Jules like that and Jules just taking it (really needing his help) made the entire scene funnier than it should have been.
-->'''Jimmie:''' Let me ask you a question. When you came pulling in here, did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"? \\

** Even better, there's the BrickJoke of Winston Wolf's silently approving of the coffee when Jimmy offers him a cup.

** "And Marsellus Wallace don't like to be fucked by anybody except Mrs. Wallace!"
*** Also doubles as {{Foreshadowing}}, considering what happens later on at the pawn shop.

* How Captain Koons suddenly changed his dignified tone of lecture to a totally different tone near the end.

* This may be more properly labeled "Fridge", but during the seconds of astonished silence between Butch & Marsellus, when the only sound is the radio playing the [[SoundtrackDissonance dissonant]] Statler Bros. song, the lyrics are: "It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright"...the OhCrap look on Butch's face is pretty funny.

* "I used the same fuckin' soap you did, and when I got finished, the towel didn't look like no goddamn maxi-pad!"

* The brief foot chase between Marsellus and Butch; one was hit by a car and the other was in a car crash, and both are stumbling half-conscious down the street. In particular is the shot where Butch is hiding behind a corner and in the distance Marsellus is seen stumbling and falling while randomly firing his gun into the ground.
* The scene right before this is pretty hilarious in its own right. As Marsellus is helped to his feet by a group of female pedestrians (who initially assume that he was merely the victim of a hit-and-run accident), he spots Butch in the car and pulls out his gun. Cue the women all fleeing in terror.

* The way the Buddy Holly waiter describes the milk shakes: Martin & Lewis (vanilla) or Amos & Andy (chocolate).

'''Jules:''' Jimmie, you know I ain't seen no... \\
'''Jimmie:''' ''Did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"?!''\\

'''Jimmie:''' You know WHY you didn't see that sign? \\

'''Jimmie:''' 'Cause it ain't there, 'CAUSE STORING DEAD NIGGERS AIN'T MY ''FUCKING'' BUSINESS, THAT'S WHY!
** Jimmie's TranquilFury at the whole situation is hilarious in general. Jules is trying to make awkward small talk about how good Jimmie's coffee is but the dude's having none of it.

** Even better, there's the BrickJoke of Winston Wolf's silently approving of the coffee when Jimmie offers him a cup.

'''Brett:''' What.\\

-->'''Jules:''' What country you from?\\

* '''Marsellus:''' "I'm prepared to scour the the Earth for that motherfucker. If Butch goes to Indochina, I want [[BehindAStick a nigga waiting in a bowl of rice]] ready to pop a cap in his ass. "

--->"[[RantInducingSlight I don't need you to tell me how fucking good my coffee is, okay?]] I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping she buys SHIT.

---->'''Vincent:''' You know, I could use a foot massage.\\
'''Jules:''' Fuck. You.

** Best of all: It was John Travolta's own idea to play the scene for comedy. The original script had it more serious, but Travolta asked Tarantino if he could say it as it is in the film; in his own words, "as if he'd just stepped on his toe or something." The rest is black comedy history. The exact quote is, for the record, "[[MajorInjuryUnderreaction Oh man, I just shot Marvin in the face."]]

* Vince, Jules, and their unfortunate attacker all looking utterly perplexed at 6 revolver rounds apparently passing straight through them.
