History Funny / TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen

* 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/DrNo Honeychile Rider]], [[Literature/{{Moonraker}} Gala Brand]]...[[/note]]

* In issue one, we catch a glimpse of a bespectacled man cryogenically frozen. Yes, Moore just confirmed that MI5 is in possession of ''[[Film/AustinPowers Austin Fucking Powers]]''.

'''Other Hunter:''' Dashed unsporting! [[AcceptableTargets Probably Belgian]]!

** Quatermain roaring at Skinner "You are to be clothed at '''''all times!''''' - it's funny in context.

* There's something weirdly humorous about the idea that Lord Voldemort would have been a ''Stones'' fan back in the 60s. The thing is, given the timeline, and the Stones' alleged use of occult symbolism in their lyrics, it kind of works. It also brings to mind the image of him [[VillainsOutShopping attending one of their concerts]].

* While investigating the pregnancies among the students of the girls' academy, Allan Quatermain, Nemo, and Mina prepare to spend the night. Nemo states that Mina, of course, will take the single room. SmashCut to Nemo and Allan being in the single room, with Allan remarking "[[StrawMisogynist Women]]."

* 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.

* In a bit of dark humor, we see that [[NotSoAboveItAll Captain Nemo of all characters.]] outright ''back up'' at seeing Mina reveal her vampiric side, well everyone else just looks away or looks mildly surprised in Sawyers case.

--> [[spoiler: '''M''']]: So I set my wolf upon you sheep.

* Every time you suddenly get the subtle nods to famous pop culture icons - like suddenly realizing that "The New Traveler's Almanac" has a cryptic nod towards ''Film/TheBigLebowski'', or recognizing that Alan Moore manages to quote [[Series/TheAndyGriffithShow Barney Fife]] in The Black Dossier.

* One of the documents included in the Black Dossier is a cigarette cartoon that sums up ''WhateverHappenedToBabyJane'', with the added reveal that Jane and Blanche Hudson are cousins of actor RockHudson, and implies he's been driven to homosexuality because of the frightening and bizarre behavior of his older female relatives.

* In the midst of a serious news break, the anchor goes to an interview with [[{{Series/TheThickOfIt}} Malcolm Tucker]]. The rant that follows is spot-on.

* Issue 4 features a hapless civilian mistake Electro Girl for [[Series/HannahMontana Hannah Montana]] of all people. Keep in mind Electro Girl is, at this time, in her seventies.

--->'''Mina Muarry:''' Only until you '''stole''' it from him!

--> '''Skinner:''' Ooooh...''Mina''.
** "You are to be clothed at ALL TIME!!" - it's funny in context.

--> [[spoiler: '''Gray''']]: (*sniffs*) [[DeadpanSnarker Growl.]]

--> [[Creator/SeanConnery Yesh,]] I've sheen the American way of shooting: [[ATeamFiring fire]] ''[[ATeamFiring every bullet you have]]'' [[ATeamFiring and]] ''[[ATeamFiring hope to hit the target!]]''
-->"If you can't do it with ''one'' bullet, don't do it at all!

--> [[spoiler: '''Dorian:''']] Ah the bedroom, does that give you memories... or ''ideas''?
--> '''Mina:''' Ideas. -GroinAttack-

* While climbing down some scaffolding, Quartermain gets a good look under Mina's dress. Of course, since this is Victorian England, [[OldTimeyAnkleTaboo the most skin he sees are her ankles]]. It doesn't stop him from clearly being flustered.
-->'''Quartermain''': [-Unbelievable...-]

* Mina and Quartermain having sex in the forest. Mina seems to be getting into it...but then it turns out [[RefugeInAudacity she's actually screaming because killer human-animal hybrids are lurching towards them.]] One who is ComicStrip/RupertBear.

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

* At one point Quartermain tries to impart some of his ImprobableAimingSkills on Sawyer, and during a discussion of their respective combat strategies, Quartermain delivers this line:

* Quartermain gets two funny lines in rapid succession:

--> '''Quartermain:''' Not as good as [[Literature/AroundTheWorldInEightyDays Phileas Fogg]]; around the world in eighty days!

--> '''Quartermain:''' Where are we going, Australia?

--> [[Creator/SeanConnery Yesh,]] I've sheen the American way of shooting: [[ATeamFiring fire every bullet you have and hope to hit the target!]]

* In issue one

*** Really, Orlandos interaction with his two lovers, and their exasperation at his BeenThereShapedHistory references, it's clear they dont belive half of it.
