-->'''Archimedes:''' Man will fly, alright. ''[laughs]'' Just like a rock.\\

** And Madame Mim turns into an elephant, grabs him and yells "You... YOU BIG BLIMP!!" Merlin turns into a mouse and [[ElephantsAreScaredOfMice scares the bejeebers out of her]].

--->'''Merlin:''' Madam, I have not disappeared. I'm very tiny. I'm a germ, a rare disease, I'm called malagolintomontorosis. [[StealthPun AND YOU CAUGHT ME, MIM!]]\\

** "[[ExactWords Did I say no PURPLE dragons? DID I??]]"

--> What in thunder is a monster like ''that'' doing in the moat?!

** "Now look here. I am not a boy. [[ThatCameOutWrong I-I mean]], I'm not a squirrel, I'm a boy...I'm an old man. An old HU--MAN!!" (As the fat squirrel grabs him around the waist.)

** During his chase with the girl squirrel, Wart angers a woodpecker in its nest, with the woodpecker repeatedly pecking his head. His running about eventually has himself and the girl squirrel running all over the sleeping Archimedes, with the annoyed woken owl shouting "Oh, you squirrelly squirrels!!!"as they run away

** Anything involving [[RunningGag Merlin's beard]].

-->'''Archimedes:''' Man will fly alright ''[laughs]'' just like a rock.\\

** And what completely sells it is Merlin furiously puffing at his pipe trying ''hard'' not to lose his temper while Archimedes in the background just keeps right on howling.

''Merlin:''' Ooh, blast it all, there, now you see what I mean!\\

''Merlin:''' Gah! ''(pulls his cane out, causing his beard to turn into a huge puff.)''

* Archimedes nearly got crushed inside his house as it got shrunk by Merlin.

* At the end of the movie, inside the castle, whenever Wart opens a door or window to try and get out, he gets greeted by a crowd yelling "'''HAIL KING ARTHUR! LONG LIVE THE KING!'''" so hard that Archimedes is sent flying backwards(twice, even colliding with the wall and sliding down with a cartoonish sound effect).

** Anything involving [[RunningGag Lord Merlin's beard]].

* The entire wizard's duel, but particularly the part where Lord Merlin ''turns into a walrus in mid air'' and lands on chicken-Mim.

** Surprisingly, this gag is in ''Literature/TheOnceAndFutureKing'' (although Lord Merlin doesn't come back as a HawaiianShirtedTourist).

** And the fat squirrel's horrified and outraged reaction when Lord Merlin changes back into a human. The younger squirrel's reaction to Arthur changing back, [[TearJerker on the other hand...]]

---> What in thunder is a monster like ''that'' doing in the moat?!

--> '''Sir Ector:''' He's either out of his head or there's something mighty [[{{Pun}} fishy]] going on here.

** Before that, Merlin ribbing Archimedes about risking his life to save Wart from the pike, and Archimedes insists that [[BlatantLies he wasn't trying to save Wart, but trying to eat him.]]

** Merlin tries to shoo her away, but when he gently shoves her, she [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrengh shoves him into the tree]], chuckling and shyly pressing her face into her own tail.

-->'''Archimedes:''' Man will fly alright ''[laughs]'' just like a rock.
-->'''Merlin:''' It would have worked if-if it weren't for this infernal beard!

-->'''Mim:''' I hate sunshine! I! hate! horrible! wholesome! sunshine! I HATE IT, I HATE IT! I HATE! HATE! HATE!...''(Merlin closes the door and leaves, with Mim's ranting inside still audible)''

** Bonus points because at least one Website/YouTube commenter pointed out that while Merlin was puffing on his pipe, it [[{{Mondegreen}} sounded like Archimedes said]] [[PrecisionFStrike “freaking fuck.”]]

* Merlin's enchanted sugarbowl during the scene at Merlin's cottage. First it overfills Merlin's cup of tea because he didn't tell it to stop, then when everything is being packed, it cuts in line and causes everything to back up.

* ''Everything'' about the wolf. He could share notes with Wile E. Coyote; he just can't catch a break! Just one example involving that poor canine: when the wolf, exhausted after chasing Arthur and Merlin, drags himself to the top of the hill, then sees that they doubled back on him.

''[Archimedes flies off to perch on the antler of a deer with his back to the room]''

* Merlin says that Archimedes is always cranky the morning after he stays up late. Wart laughs and quips that Archimedes must stay up ''every'' night, then. It takes Merlin a second to get it, but he chuckles at that.

** Merlin tries to shoo her away, but when he gently shoves her, she shoves him into the tree.

*** "THERE!!! Now you see? I'm an ugly, horrible, grouchy old man!!!"
*** He then ''barks'' at her, scaring her back up the tree, where she makes an indignant, disgusted "well I never" sound.

** What's even funnier is Archimedes doesn't seem to mind the backwards F, and only chastises Arthur on writing the G backwards

-->'''Archimedes:''' Watch it, watch it, oooh, oooh, ugh, you, you, you - bungling blockhead!

** Followed by the most glorious laugh in ''any'' movie. [[https://youtu.be/KLI46yMdtmU It has to be seen and heard for oneself.]] Previously nothing but a humorless curmudgeon, he absolutely ''dies'' of laughter after Merlin's model ends up in the drink.
