History Funny / SnowWhiteandTheSevenDwarfs

* Sneezy trying to keep up with Snow White's footwork. You can practically see him thinking "Shoot, where does my right foot go?"

* Dopey putting crystals over his eyes, as seen in the image above.

-->'''Grumpy''': Aw, you're a pot-bellied old hop-toad!
-->'''Doc''': I'm a...He's a...Who's a belly-potted old flop, uh...jelly flop-bellied...
-->'''Grumpy''': You! You're a flop-bellied, uh...toad-jelly, uh...Oh, now ya got me doing it!

'''Bashful:'''Do you have to wash where it doesn't show?

* Snow White's first entrance in the dwarf's cottage.
-->'''Snow White:''' Oh!! ''[the animals run away in fear]'' What a cute little chair.
* "NOW ''I'LL'' BE FAIREST IN THE LAND!!!" Why is this funny? The Queen yells this [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis while still in her Old Hag disguise]].

* "[[JumpScare HAVE A BITE?]]" says the Queen in Hag form as she jokingly offers the poisoned apple to her own raven. The bird scrambles away as if it thinks it will die simply by ''touching'' it. The Queen then chuckles and says "It's not for you!" the way a mother might scold a really young child for trying to get at food that, well, isn't for them.
* In a [[BlackComedy creepy (yet still funny) way]], the vultures. Either the witch dies and they get to nom her body... or Snow White dies and they get to nom ''her'' body... or the Dwarves die and they get to nom ''their'' bodies. Whatever the outcome, you can see them thinking, "This is gonna be a good night".

* Snow White admonishes the chipmunks not to simply sweep the dust under a rug. So they sweep it into a mousehole instead. They have just enough time to wink at each other in a very smug way before their bubble is burst by the dust coming back in a gust. They dash under the rug and poke their heads out just in time to see the mouse emerge and give them an earful of indignant chatter. The mouse finishes by kicking the dust back into their faces.
* Even the huntsman has a funny moment. After he refuses to kill Snow White and falls on his knees begging for mercy, he starts crying... and uses the princess' very own dress as a handkerchief.
* One of the InsubstantialIngredients for the Queen's peddler disguise spell is "an old hag's cackle." Said ingredient is stored in liquid form in a glass container and kept warm by a burner on low flame. What's funny is when the Queen turns up the burner to boil the liquid and take some for the spell, the ingredient itself cackles as it boils, as if it finds the full flame ''tickling.''
** Even funnier, she uses "To shroud my clothes, the black of night". That's right, she used a mystical ingredient in her potion when she could have... you know... just put on a black cloak.
* It's tricky to spot and certainly unintentional, but: when Snow White enters the dwarfs' house for the first time (12 seconds into [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BenZ367FTDA this video]]) her forest friends creep in with her. The animators apparently forgot which animals they were drawing, because one rabbit hops behind another and comes out a squirrel.

* The scene where Sneezy sneezes underneath the coat he and Dopey were wearing (which results in the coat briefly inflating to twice its original size and Dopey flying out from the top onto one of the beams near the ceiling), was hilarious enough in one's childhood that rewinding and rewatching 50 times in one session was highly necessary. Dopey trying to stop the sneeze by holding an AntiSneezeFinger to his own nose is the cherry on top. And the ''sound'' of Sneezy's sneeze is hilarious in and of itself:
-->'''AH-UUUUM-PSSSSSSSH!'''

* There's a [[BlackComedy very darkly humorous]] scene after the Queen becomes the Hag. She walks down through the dungeon and comes across a skeleton reaching for a bucket of water. Her response?
-->''"Thirsty? [[LargeHam HAVE A DRINK!]]" [kicks the bucket at the skeleton]''
* The birds making a loud screech to scare the dwarfs.
* Snow White imitating Grumpy when she first meets him.
-->'''Snow White:''' Oh... ''[crosses arms and deepens voice]'' you must be Grumpy.
** And the other Dwarfs laughing at Grumpy.

* Dopey whimpering and pawing in his sleep like a dog.
* The whole washing sequence, starting with the dwarfs surrounding Grumpy with NotSoInnocentWhistling and ending when Snow's call to supper makes them drop Grumpy unceremoniously into the tub.

* Snow White gets a DeadpanSnarker moment when Grumpy refuses to wash.
-->'''Snow White:''' What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?
** Cue Grumpy sticking his tongue out at Snow White.

* When the dwarfs return from the mine, Dopey is the last one in the house and slams the door shut, making the rest panic for a second.
-->'''Other Dwarfs:''' Shh!\\
'''Dopey:''' ''[while pointing at the door]'' Shh!
* This bit during "The Silly Song": Bashful steps up to sing his verse only to stop because he's embarrassed. Annoyed, Grumpy starts playing the verse over again, but Bashful stops again and hide his face in his beard. Grumpy then angrily slams all the keys down on the organ, as if to say "Get on with it!". The rest of the dwarfs find it hilarious.

* The point where the dwarfs realize that the intruder is up in their bedroom. Doc decides that one of them should "go down and chase it up", er, "up, down". They all begin nodding, [[WhyAreYouLookingAtMeLikeThat before they turn to Dopey, who looks around]] [[OhCrap until he realizes they mean him and tries to run away]], only for Grumpy and Happy to grab him. Doc gives him the candle and assures him that they'll be right behind him (they stay on the first floor, at least until Dopey makes it into their bedroom). When Dopey finally gets inside, he's startled by Snow White yawning and stretching underneath the sheets. Dopey freaks out and runs downstairs, bumping into the other dwarfs, causing them all to fall downstairs. The other dwarfs freak out in turn and run out of the house one by one, slamming the door and causing Dopey to run into it. He desperately tries to pull it back open as the dwarfs collectively hold it shut from outside, thinking it's the intruder.
** Dopey's scream, mainly because you wouldn't expect that his voice is deep.
* Grumpy warns everyone upon meeting Snow White that the Queen, due to all her powers, could be in the room right now. Dopey proceeds to look for the Queen under Happy's beard, prompting [[BewareTheNiceOnes Happy]] to bop Dopey indignantly.

* The Dwarfs deciding to sneak into their own house to find out who is in there...complete with squeaky shoes on the scrubbed floor.
* When Grumpy warns the others from eating the soup because it "might be poison", the pot hisses and rattles, causing them to jump.
-->'''Grumpy:''' See? It's witch's brew!

* Dopey putting crystals over his eyes, as seen in the image above.
* The scene where Snow White kisses the dwarfs goodbye. Namely Dopey repeatedly coming back for another kiss, puckering up for Snow White to kiss him on the lips only for her to tilt his face down by his ears and kiss his head instead, and Grumpy obviously wanting a kiss too (shining his forehead in the mirror beforehand, clearing his throat while marching in place to get Snow White's attention, and of course melting into a soppy smile after she does kiss him), but [[{{Tsundere}} trying his best to hide it and be his usual grumpy self]], only to repeatedly stumble into accidents (getting his nose stuck in a tree hole, falling into the stream, then banging his head on the bridge) because his feigned nose-in-the-air indignity keeps him from watching where he's going as he marches off.

* There's a very darkly humorous scene after the Queen becomes the Hag. She walks down through the dungeon and comes across a skeleton reaching for a bucket of water. [[BlackComedy Her response?]]

* Another behind-the-scenes moment: The sound engineers were having trouble simulating the well's echo for "I'm Wishing" to their satisfaction. How did they finally pull it off? Recording the original lyrics playing back from a loudspeaker placed in the women's room toilet. As in they had already tried this with the ''men's'' room toilet and weren't satisfied.
* This little story behind Dopey's name:
--> Some animators were opposed to the name Dopey, claiming that it was too modern a word to use in a timeless fairy tale. Walt Disney made the argument that William Shakespeare used the word in one of his plays. This managed to convince everyone, although [[BeamMeUpScotty any reference to the term "dopey" is yet to be found in any of Shakespeare's work]].

* A behind-the-scenes example: Frank Thomas was animating Snow White lying on her bier while the dwarfs and animals mourned her, while Fred Spencer was animating the dancing sequence of "The Silly Song"; both done to music to set the mood. Cue them both yelling at each other, "Cut the sad stuff!" and "Stop dancing in there!"

* While its a serious situation, it's still funny to se the animals pulling and pushing at the Dwarfs to follow them back to Snow White after the Witch arrives.

** When Grumpy's pencil point snaps off while tracing the shape of the board, he uses a squirrel (one of several chewing the wood to shape it) as a makeshift pencil sharpener.

** Culminates with a BrickJoke as Dopey accidentally swallows his spoon and the dwarfs attempts to get it out wind up not only getting the spoon out, but the soap he'd swallowed earlier as well.

** Dopey holding his own nose is the cherry on top.

* When the Lux Radio Theatre presented their adaptation in December 1938, to celebrate the first anniversary, Walt was brought in to be interviewed by showhost Creator/CecilBDeMille. Cecil then asks Walt what he would do if he could do ''Snow White'' over again, and Walt responds with the following:
** Having 7,000 giants (including one taller than the other 6,999) instead of Dwarfs.
** Have the witch stalked by bombers instead of vultures.
** The witch selling Snow White a poisoned fruitcart.

** Even funnier, she uses "The black of night to shroud my clothes". That's right, she used a mystical ingredient in her potion when she could have... you know... just put on a black cloak.

* Grumpy sticking his tongue out at Snow White.

[[caption-width-right:300:Dopey is a man of few words, but many expressions.]]

** Dopey proves to be quite the sneaky bastard by gathering cloth swatches for Happy...off the undergarments of the other Dwarfs. The entire thing is made all the more hilarious by the [[EarWorm bouncy piano rendition]] of his {{Leitmotif}} that plays as he does it.

** Snow White guilt-tripping the dwarfs into letting her stay is so unexpected of her that it's actually pretty funny.

** As Sleepy is carving a decoration on top of one of the posts, the fly that annoys him throughout the film perches on it, and he tries to hit it with his hammer and chisel, quickly going into rapid-fire hammering BigBallOfViolence-style. When it's over, he hasn't hit the fly, but he's carved a full rabbit out of the post.

** Snow White realizing that she fell asleep with the soup still boiling and doing a 180-degree jump into the air.
