History Funny / TheCurseOfTheWereRabbit

** It wouldn't be a 'were-whatever' film if something ddn't howl at the moon, so the Were-Rabbit proceeds to do just that -- while also beating his chest like he's Tarzan. And when the normal rabbits hear him, they ''also'' start howling and beating their chests.

--> "(chomps carrot) Uh... [[BorrowedCatchphrase what's up, dog]]?"

--> "(gasp) Reg! me teeth!"

-->'''Wallace''': Oh, uh-uh, Gromit, ol' pal, heh! Happened again! I'll need assistance! (''Gromit slowly walks over another lever labeled "assistance" and pulls it; a giant mallet comes out of Wallace's closet and whacks him though the hole'') OW!

* META: At the following year's Academy Award ceremony, Creator/NickPark and co. wore oversized novelty bowties with their tuxes. When they went up to get their award, they brought one along for the Oscar statue!

-->'''Reverend:''' Hello? Is anybody there? (''loud burp from offscreen'') Mrs Mulch?

* Victor ramming a pitchfork in Lady Tottington's hair.

* The plane fight with Gromit and Phillip. Specifically, when it's interrupted by the plane's time running out and requiring the entire fight to cease as the combatants root around for change.
** Made funnier by Phillip's brightly-colored, flower change-purse. Mostly because it is ''definitely'' not what you'd expect a dog like [[{{Jerkass}} him]] to have. Philip's embarrassed take to Gromit sells it.
* Victor letting out a BigNo and then flinging his gun onto the ground and [[AgitatedItemStomping hopping up and down on it]], screaming, [[UnusualEuphemism "Potty poo!"]] after Gromit rescues Were-Rabbit!Wallace by having the Golden Carrot Award hit his plane instead.

* Wallace [[CouldntFindATissue blowing his nose into his rabbit ears]] after exclaiming, "I don't want to be a giant rabbit!" Doubles as Main/TearJerker.
* Appropriately, Lady Tottington uses Pansy Spray, applied [[EyeScream to the eyes]], to keep Victor from shooting Were-Rabbit Wallace.
* Victor ramming a pitchfork in Lady Tottington's hair.
-->'''Victor Quartermaine''': Hmm...I rather like your hair pinned back.
** Which becomes a visual gag later when the pitchfork holes are covered with plasters! (band-aids for Americans)

'''Another Festival Goer''': Kiss my carrot!\\
'''Victor Quartermaine''': (''annoyed'') Out of my way!\\

'''Mr. Growbag''': Kiss my [[LastSecondWordSwap Arrrrrtichoke!]]

'''Victor Quartermaine''': Excuse me, Constable?\\

*** Then when he's run out of ammunition he demands another gold bullet from the Vicar, who points out that he doesn't have any more because [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome they ARE expensive after all]].
* The plane fight with Gromit and Phillip. Specifically when it's interrupted by the plane's time running out and requiring the entire fight to cease as the combatants root around for change.

* Wallace [[RefugeInAudacity blowing raspberries at Lady Tottington, a noblewoman]], while in the middle of his were-rabbit transformation.
** The lead-up to the above, after Wallace slams the door in Lady Tottington's face. She walks off in a very dignified way, only to pause and look back when she hears all the thumping and crashing coming from the house as Gromit struggles with the transforming Wallace.
* Wallace reading "Ay-Up!" magazine.

* An annoyed Victor slamming shut the window because DramaticThunder keeps punctuating the Vicar's exposition.
* Hutch's quotes that are taken from previous ''W&G'' shorts are hilarious in their new context.
--> ''Aww, the bounce is gone from his bungee!''

* Wallace [[CouldntFindATissue blowing his nose into his rabbit ears]] after exclaiming, "I don't want to be a giant rabbit!" Doubles as Main/TearJerker.
* Appropriately, Lady Tottington uses Pansy Spray, applied [[EyeScream to the eyes]], to keep Victor from shooting Were-Rabbit Wallace.
* META: At the following year's Academy Award ceremony, Creator/NickPark and co. wore oversized novelty bowties with their tuxes. When they went up to get their award, they brought one along for the Oscar statue!
* When Victor comes to talk to the Reverend about the Beast this exchange occurs.

'''Rev. Clement Hedges''': No, no! I meant ''this'' one. \\

* Wallace's [[TransformationSequence first transformation]] is [[NightmareFuel pretty scary]], but has a lot of funny moments in it:
** Gromit locking the door ''veeeeeryy slooooowlyyy'' as he realizes that ThisIsGonnaSuck.
** Victor getting Wallace's y-front underpants launched in his face after being hit by all of the buttons from Wallace's shirt as it's being ripped.
** Victor looking at Gromit (as if to explain what's happening) and Gromit shrugging.
** Phillip scratching at the door to the van and Gromit slowly shaking his head at him.
** Victor letting out a ''very'' [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl high-pitched scream]] when the Were-Rabbit tosses a log over him and Gromit.
** Victor having to hang onto his wig to keep it from blowing away as fully-transformed Wallace lets out a roar.
** A [[FreezeFrameBonus blink-and-you-miss-it moment]] right before all this, when Wallace gets slingshotted backwards by his suspenders, his eyes literally pop out of his head cartoonishly for one frame.
** Another moment before all this, Wallace manages to block Victor’s punch offscreen, then throws him into the air at the point where he slams into the Anti-Pesto van. His face even flattens like… well, clay [[FreezeFrameBonus for one frame.]]
** When Wallace's body starts making its transition from human to rabbit, the first thing we see happen is Wallace grow a pair of buckteeth, and if you look closely enough, Wallace is seen smiling for a bit as they appear. It's quite a jarring but hilarious mood dissonance, especially when you consider the rest of the transformation is supposed to be serious and frightening.
* Victor letting out a BigNo and then flinging his gun onto the ground and [[AgitatedItemStomping hopping up and down on it]], screaming, [[UnusualEuphemism "Potty poo!"]] after Gromit rescues Were-Rabbit!Wallace by having the Golden Carrot Award hit his plane instead.
* Combining a ShoutOut with a (terrible) pun, Wallace is left with a set of rabbit ears and a fondness for vegetables, leaving Gromit only able to stare in shock. Wallace's reaction?
--> "(chomps carrot) Uh... [[BorrowedCatchphrase what's up, dog]]?"
** Just before that, Wallace says he hopes Gromit is keeping an eye on their were-rabbit. Gromit, staring at Wallace, just nods very slowly.
* Towards the end, when Victor gets his pants caught on a weathervane:
-->'''Reverend:''' Beware [[StealthPun the moon!]]
* After a fearful Were-Rabbit knocks a vase off the roof...
-->'''PC Mackintosh''': Stand back! There may be a large rabbit dropping!
* Victor's HumiliationConga, complete with Gromit [[DustingOffYourHands dusting his paws of him]] before stomping back into the tent to tend to the Were-Rabbit.

'''Villager:''' By Jove...he's got it!\\

* Towards the end, when Victor gets his pants caught on a weathervane:
-->'''Reverend:''' Beware [[StealthPun the moon!]]
* Gromit pulls off what just might be the most perfect {{facepalm}} in movie history.
* At the town meeting, it's chaos. The townsfolk are squabbling and ranting at Wallace for not protecting their crops. An elder, Mr. Growbag, claims he hasn't seen such "cauliflower carnage" since [[NoodleIncident the Great Slug Blight of '32]]... When there were slugs the size of pigs.
-->'''Mrs. Mulch''': Growbag's right! ''The slugs are back!!!''\\
''(townsfolk erupt into a mass panic)''
** Gets funnier in that the movie's LicensedGame features were-slugs, which are indeed the size of pigs.
* After the vicar claims the were-rabbit attacked the town, Victor arrives and scoffs.
-->'''Victor''': I do believe the vicar has been to the communion wine again!

* Victor's HumiliationConga, complete with Gromit [[DustingOffYourHands dusting his paws of him]] before stomping back into the tent to tend to the Were-Rabbit.

* The Reverend hears something in the church on the night of the first Were-Rabbit transformation, and this gem occurs:
-->'''Reverend:''' Hello? Is anybody there? (''loud burp from offscreen'') Mrs Mulch?
* Wallace [[CouldntFindATissue blowing his nose into his rabbit ears]] after exclaiming, "I don't want to be a giant rabbit!" Doubles as Main/TearJerker

* After a fearful Were-Rabbit knocks a vase off the roof...
-->'''PC Mackintosh''': Stand back! There may be a large rabbit dropping!
* When Wallace finds himself nude after returning to normal, he grabs a nearby box to cover himself up. The label on the box, naturally, is "[[{{Pun}} May Contain Nuts."]]
* When Wallace gets stuck in the chute leading to the kitchen, he asks Gromit for assistance.
-->'''Wallace''': Gromit, ol' pal, I'll need assistance! (''Gromit slowly walks over another lever labeled "assistance" and pulls it; a giant mallet comes out of Wallace's closet and whacks him though the hole'') OUCH!
** And the cause: shown by the MeaningfulLook Gromit gives to a jar labelled Middle Aged Spread.
* The policeman telling the church organist to knock off her dramatic organ pounding during the Vicar's exposition.

* First Victor's hair, and then Victor himself, being sucked into the Bun-Vac.
** Then, when he thought he found his toupee from the pile of rabbits, it’s revealed quickly that he mistook a rabbit for his wig. Said rabbit proceeds to wave goodbye as Victor stomps off.
** This exchange between Victor and Wallace beforehand:
--->'''Victor''': I want... (''beat'') toupee[[note]][[DontExplainTheJoke to pay]][[/note]], please.\\
'''Wallace''': Oh, grand! We take cheque or cash-\\
'''Victor''': ''TOUPEE'', you idiot! My ''hair'' is in ''your machine!''\\
'''Wallace''': Oh no, there's only rabbits in there! You'll find [[EntertaininglyWrong the hare is a much larger mammal]].
** All the rabbits in the Bun-Vac wave back while Wallace, Lady Tottington and Gromit stare after him.

* "DE-ICE, DE-MIST, DE-MUD" ''Cue Gromit's vehicle shaking like a dog''.
* The windshield wipers have settings marked "Light Rain," "Heavy Rain," and "Heavy Loam." Gromit has to use the last of these to wipe the loose dirt away as he's pulled underground after Were-Rabbit Wallace.
* If you look closely there is a small sign on the van's dashboard that says "Eat cheese now. Ask me how."
* The funniest characters in the movie are definitely the rabbits with the funniest moment coming from the intro where a rabbit was captured by Wallace and Gromit and revealing that the rabbit had managed to catch the elderly woman's teeth in a scuffle, this shown when the rabbit shows a huge grin.
--> "(gasp) Reg! me teeth!"

** Just before that Wallace says he hopes Gromit is keeping an eye on their were-rabbit. Gromit, staring at Wallace, just nods very slowly.

* Wallace blowing his nose into his rabbit ears after exclaiming, "I don't want to be a giant rabbit!" Doubles as Main/TearJerker

** And then when Victor, trying to get the panicking crowd's attention, [[ShutUpGunshot fires his gun in the air]]...which was loaded with the second of three golden bullets.
--->'''Victor''': I've only got two... (''{{Beat}}'') [[VerbalBackspace I've only got]] ''[[VerbalBackspace one]]'' [[VerbalBackspace gold bullet left]]!

[[caption-width-right:350:Get it off me lad!]]

* Wallace blowing his nose into his rabbit ears after exclaiming, "I don't want to be a giant rabbit!"
