History Funny / TheLeagueOfExtraOrdinaryGentlemen

* After getting into a huge fight with Mina in Century 1910, Alan berates him for his stupid insults. Orland counters and says that wasn't the stupidest thing he's ever said, it was this;

* In the NTA, one section notes that a group of [[Creator/HPLovecraft Deep Ones]] were taught how to sing and dance by the captain from [[Theatre/HMSPinafore]]. The lyrics shared are quite clearly modeled after "When I Was A Lad" and imagining an abominable fishman singing it is quite humorous.

** Fans of Lovecraft will get a kick out of Bertie casually name dropping "Cool Lulu", which he believes to be an old Native American enjoying a long retirement at "Riley."

* Griffin theorizes that Franchise/SherlockHolmes disappeared because his fat brother Mycroft ate him.
* Hyde singing while he approaches the Tripod. Jess Nevins, who catalogues all the references, says that he wants the original piece of artwork for that six-panel sequence.
** To make it even funnier, the song he sings ("You Should See Me Dance the Polka") comes from the 1940 adaptation of ''Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde'' with Spencer Tracy.

* Raffles, in a moment of rare vulnerability, wonders if there's anything to these rumors of impending World War, and confides in Allan that he'd feel honor bound to serve in that case, to atone for the bad things he's done. Supplemental material confirms that he dies in WWI. Sad? There's a hidden joke there: [[spoiler: in the books Raffles dies after a similar rush of patriotic sentiment leads him to enlist in the Boer Wars]]; seeing as that turned out to be a ploy in this universe, it is very likely Raffles just tricked everyone with the same con ''twice''.

* A bit of small minor humor between Sawyer and Mina. First him trying to make small talk to get over the fact that he watched her first act of Vampirism as well as telling her she missed a spot. Second, Sawyer despite Allan's advice not to, tries and fails to flirt with Mina despite seeing what she did. Bonus points for her teasing him, by only rejecting him for being "Sweet and Young." When he later uses Nemo's Car as part of the plan to save Venice, the impressed look on her face pretty much comically took back what she said to him. Lastly when Venice is saved, Sawyer came back with a bloody lip. She goes to check his wound, but his GenreSavvy senses kick in and he backs away from her breifly, to which she says the following.

* In general, Jimmy turns out to be so hilariously incompetent at his job that it's a surprise to how his 'reputation' as a suave superspy even manages to stand up in this universe.

** The entire sequence of seeking out the Antichrist is ComedicSociopathy and the joke is that the Antichrist is pathetic, a blubbering, pill popping jerk who locks himself away in a room for days but then stays there for years.

* At the beginning of ''The Black Dossier'', Mina beats the tar out of [[Franchise/JamesBond "Jimmy"]] after spending about ten-odd pages [[ObfuscatingStupidity posing as a shallow bimbo named "Oodles O'Quim"]] [[note]]In Britain, "quim" is slang for female genitalia, by the way...[[/note]]. Later, when Allan shows up to drive her away, he berates her for choosing such a stupid-sounding alias, but Mina assures him that Jimmy was convinced. Allan just shrugs it off and says, "He must meet women with stupid names like that all the time..." [[note]]Such as [[Literature/{{Goldfinger}} Pussy Galore]], [[Literature/{{Moonraker}} Gala Brand]]...[[/note]]

* Early in the film Reed questions Quartemain's sense of patriotism to try and get him motivated into joining the League. The results are less than satisfying for the young man.

* Orlando cock-blocking [[AdamAdamantLives Adam Adamant]] in Century 1969 by bragging about his Arthurian days.

* The fate of [[TheStarScream Campion Bond?]] Being the butler towards Mycroft Holmes and serving the League their tea. The look on his face as he leaves is a great sight to see.

* The entirety of 'What Ho, Gods of the Abyss', a short story in ''Black Dossier''. Creator/PGWodehouse meets Creator/HPLovecraft. Funny on its own. For Wodehouse fans? ''Hilarious''.
** Fans of Lovecraft will get a kick out of Bertie casually name dropping "Cool Lulu", which he believes to be an old Native American enjoying a long retirement at "Riley."
* Also, the [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour Ingsoc]]-approved Tijuana Bible in the same book. Technically, it should be horrifyingly disgusting, [[RefugeInAudacity but somehow, the sheer ridiculousness of the thing makes it funny as hell.]]
** To add further tickle-value, it's basically a perfect mini-adaptation of ''Nineteen Eighty Four''.
