History Funny / ThePrinceOfEgypt

--> '''Rameses''': Come on, Moses, admit it! [[LiteralMetaphor You've always looked up to me]]! \\
'''Moses''': ''[looks up to see Rameses' rear exposed as his kilt ripples in the wind]'' Yes, but it's not much of a view!

---> '''Seti''': I seek to build an empire, and your only thought is to amuse yourselves by tearing it down! Have I taught you nothing?\\
'''Hotep''': You mustn't be so hard on yourself, Your Majesty; you're an excellent teacher.\\
'''Huy''': It's not your fault your sons learned ''nothing.''\\
'''Hotep''': [[DeadpanSnarker Well, they learned blasphemy]].\\
'''Huy''': True.

--> '''Hotep:''' Rameses! You're in trouble, young man!\\
'''Huy''': Get down here! I think you owe us an apology!\\
'''Hotep''': OH, MY NEW THING!\\

'''Hotep''': You'll pay for this!\\
'''Huy''': We're gonna tell the Pharaoh!\\

'''Hotep & Huy''': AWWW!\\
'''Hotep''': Look at me! I'm drenched again!

--->'''Rameses''': I'm done for! Father will kill me!\\

--->'''Aaron''': Oh, my good prince...um, she-she's exhausted from the day's work. Not that it was too much, we-we [[BlatantLies quite enjoyed it]]. But-But she's confused and knows ''not'' to whom she ''speaks!''\\
'''Miriam''': I ''[[BoldInflation know]]'' to whom I [[BoldInflation SPEAK]], Aaron!
** Aaron nervously saying “Miriam, you're gonna get us flogged” in sotto voce.
** Aaron’s facial expression throughout the whole scene.

--> '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5BQWubuC8g&lc=UggrQDQrrjtYbngCoAEC Youtube comment]]''': You have met a manifestation of God. Do you: A.) Immediately kneel down and pray. B.) Run like hell. '''C.) Poke him with your stick'''

* Hotep and Huy's response to Moses's return.
--> '''Hotep''': Um, your majesty... we are compelled to remind you that this man has committed a serious crime against the gods.\\
'''Huy''': (''grinning'') [[BlatantLies We are loathe to bring it up, mind you.]]\\
'''Hotep''': Yet the law clearly states that the punishment for such a crime-\\
'''Huy''': (''still cheerful'') Death!\\
'''Hotep''': We hesitate to say it...

--> '''[=YouTube=] comment''': [[LargeHam BY THE POWER OF RA,]] [[MundaneMadeAwesome WE GIVE YOU KOOL-AID.]]

* When a fully adult Moses and Ramses are discussing their childhood and reminiscing about switching the heads of the temple idols. Overall, it’s a very sad scene showing how vast a chasm has grown between their relationship and perspectives, but Ramses details which gods’ heads Moses switched and finishes up with: ''“…and the priests thought it was a horrible omen and fasted FOR TWO MONTHS!”'' It actually ''is'' sad that this still bothers Rameses years later when he didn’t even like the priests, as proof of his father-pleasing guilt complex that’s about to ruin his life; but the story itself is (and the priests are) so ridiculous that it’s still funny. (And it doesn’t help that Moses thinks so, too, as evidenced by his faint chuckle at the memory.)

*** Immediately thereafter, its nose is broken off by a load of falling bricks. Considering that Creator/RalphFiennes, who voices Ramses, is known for playing [[Literature/HarryPotter a certain other villainous character, with no visible nose]], it becomes HilariousInHindsight.

** Aaron saying, “Miriam, do you want us flogged”.

* Meta example: [=DreamWorks=] was developing this and (a prototype of) ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'' at the same time. Animators who weren't turning in a satisfactory job on the former would be sent over to work on the latter. The consensus of those condemned to this punishment describes it as a FateWorseThanDeath. And the practice of such became known as [[PersonAsVerb getting Shrekd]].

''[They walk in; '''the entire crowd''' sees them and cheers loudly]''\\

'''Huy:''' I AM SO UPSET!\\

-->'''Aaron''': Oh, my good prince...um, she-she's exhausted from the day's work. Not that it was too much, we-we [[BlatantLies quite enjoyed it]]. But-But she's confused and knows ''not'' to whom she ''speaks!''\\

'''Moses''': ''[looks up to see Rameses's rear exposed as his kilt ripples in the wind]'' Yes, but it's not much of a view!

** When an Ehyptian woman runs past them, freaking out about the plague of frogs, one of them looks at the other with a "what's ''her'' problem?" expression...before they both find bugs in their food.

--> '''Rameses''': Come on, Moses, admit it! You've always looked up to me! \\

*** "'Trying to get the funny man out of the well'. Well ''that's'' one I haven't heard before." *hears Moses in the well* [[OhCrap *Gasp* "Oh, my! Uh-don't worry in there! We'll get you out! Hold on!"]] Plus, you can see as she's walking up to the girls, Ephora and Ajolidoforah are pulling and Jethrodiadah is just sort of helpfully holding the rope at the back.

* Though it's in a very dark moment, during the Ten Plagues of Egypt, Hotep and Huy are as helpless as anyone; Rameses walks in on them desperately trying all manner of potions to get rid of the boils affecting them from that plague, does a double-take, then [[FlippingTheTable overturns the table in his fury]] and [[GetOut orders the pair of charlatans out]].

** [[GilliganCut Jump ahead to] Seti chewing them out for what they've done.

--> '''Rameses''': Come on, Moses, admit it! You've always looked up to me!
--> '''Moses''': ''[looks up to see Rameses's rear exposed as his clothing ripples in the wind]'' Yes, but it's not much of a view!
** At one point in the race, they go up some wooden ramps for workers building a statue of Seti. One of the workers holding a paintbrush falls off a ladder and ends up painting a smiley face on the statue.
*** Then after, its nose falls off. Considering it's Ralph Fiennes playing Ramses, and his [[Literature/HarryPotter other villainous character]].

** [[GilliganCut Almost immediately thereafter]], we see Seti chewing them out for what they've done.

---> '''Seti''': Have I taught you nothing?
---> '''Hotep''': You mustn't be so hard on yourself, Your Majesty; you're an excellent teacher.
---> '''Huy''': It's not your fault your sons learned ''nothing.''
---> '''Hotep''': [[DeadpanSnarker Well, they learned blasphemy]].
--->'''Huy''': True.

--->'''Rameses''': I'm done for! Father will kill me!
---> '''Moses:''' Don't worry, nobody will even notice us coming in!
---> [They walk in; ''the entire crowd'' sees them and cheers loudly]
---> '''Rameses:''' [[SarcasmMode "Nobody will even notice."]]
---> '''Moses:''' ''[guilty laugh]''

-->'''Miriam:''' I ''knew'' you cared about our freedom!
-->'''Moses:''' ''(chuckles)'' Freedom? [[InnocentlyInsensitive Why would I care about that?]]

*** And just before THAT? Moses is buried up to his scalp in a sandstorm. A passing camel tries to graze on his head, and after a groan of pain, Moses latches on to the camel, the first sign of life he's seen since fleeing Egypt. Clinging for dear life, he's dragged up to a watering hole for the SHEEP, and immediately plunges his head into the water to quench his thirst. He groggily raises his head, meeting the gaze of a ram with possibly the greatest WTF face in animation history.

* The priests' attempt to mimic Moses turning the river into blood by making what's basically the Ancient Egyptian-equivalent of a powdered drink mix.

* Though it's in a very dark moment, during the Ten Plagues of Egypt, Hotep and Huy are as helpless as anyone; Rameses walks in on them desperately trying all manner of potions to get rid of the boils affecting them from that plague, does a double take, then [[FlippingTheTable overturns the table in his fury]] and [[GetOut orders the pair of charlatans out]].
* When the Hebrews are traveling through the parted Red Sea, an ''exhausted camel'' rests its head on Aaron's shoulders. Aaron commiserates.

* Meta example: [=DreamWorks=] was developing this and (a prototype of) ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'' at the same time. Animators who weren't turning in a satisfactory job on the former would be sent over to work on the latter. The consensus of those condemned to this punishment describe it as a FateWorseThanDeath. And the practice of such became known as [[PersonAsVerb getting Shrekd]].

* [[TemptingFate "You don't think we'll get in trouble for this, do you?"]]
--> '''Moses''': "No, not a chance!"

---> '''Seti''': Why do the gods ''torment'' me with such reckless, destructive, blasphemous sons!?

* Immediately after saying Rameses needed a chance to prove himself, Moses drops a wineskin onto the priests, who promptly blame Rameses. Who then dumps the entire bowl of wine on them with a look that just screams, 'Why the hell not?'

* Aaron desperately trying to get Miriam to shut up.
-->'''Aaron''': Oh, my good prince...um, she-she's exhausted from the day's work. Not that it was too much, we-we quite enjoyed it. But-But she's confused and knows ''not'' to whom she ''speaks!''\\

*** And after that: "Ladies, you've cleaned every inch of me! WHOA! I was wrong!"

--> '''Rameses''': Come on, Moses, admit it. You've always looked up to me.
--> '''Moses''': Yes, but it's not much of a view.
