History Funny / TitusAndronicus

* This exchange:

-->'''Aaron''': [[IBangedYourMom Villain, I have]] ''[[IBangedYourMom done]]'' [[IBangedYourMom thy mother.]]

-->'''Aaron''': [[IBangedYourMom Villain, I have ''done'' thy mother.]]

-->'''Aaron''': That which thrust canst not undo.

-->'''Aaron''': [[IBangedYourMom Villain, I have done thy mother.]]

-->'''Chiron''': Thou hast undone our mother.

** In scene (3.1) Aaron promises Titus two of his sons returned alive if he or one of his family will give the Emperor a hand. Literally. The request is definitely not funny- it's pointless and cruel- but the argument about whose hand will go is easily played for a laugh.

-->Titus: "What dost thou strike at, Marcus, with thy knife?"
-->Marcus: "At that that I have killed, my lord- a fly."
-->Titus: "Out on thee, murderer! ... Poor harmless fly, that with his pretty buzzing melody came here to make us merry, and you have killed him!"

-->Chiron: Thou hast undone our mother.
-->Aaron: [[IBangedYourMom Villain, I have done thy mother.]]

-->Aaron: [[IBangedYourMom Villain, I have done thy mother.]]
** Yes, you read that right. Among his other accomplishments, [[JustForFun/TheZerothLawOfTropeExamples Shakespeare wrote the first known "yo momma" joke in history!]]

* The bit in the film where Titus reveals what exactly is in the pie and everyone's reaction, while he's running around dementedly in a chef's hat.

** The above sequence was added some years after the play was originally written, and it has always seemed to me to be a tongue-in-cheek jibe by the author at the sensationalism of his early work.

* Even ''TitusAndronicus'' has a moment that always brings the house down:

Then, when Marcus says that the fly reminded him of Aaron the Moor, Tamora's vicious lover, he stabs the already-dead insect multiple times. And then lampshades the impassioned foolishness of it all.
