History Funny / Watchmen

* Rorschach's narration in his first scene features the phrase "abattoir full of retarded children". The contrast of such a juvenile thing to say mixed with [[GutturalGrowler his usual disposition]] makes it hilarious.

* Rorschach pops in for a chat with Veldt in the latter's office following the Comedian's death. He made his exit through a window... in the rain...

* On that vein, Moloch is first ambushed by Rorscach who was hiding inside of his fridge. The next time Moloch opens his fridge, he does so nervously, holding a gun, only to find a single note.

* The brief scene in chapter 10 in which Daniel is trying to hack into [[spoiler: Veidt's]] compluter while Rorschach rambles on and on in the background:

* A unintentional example in Chapter one, Rorschach interrogates Doctor Manhattan and Silk Specter in the Rockefeller Research Lab. When the Doc is walking by, the panel layout makes it look like Rors [[HoYay was checking out Doc's ass with a "Hurrm".]]

* Dollar Bill's death in the intro is pretty funny in a weird way, as he died ''when his gigantic, red cape got stuck in a revolving door.'' It must have been pretty humiliating.

** To clarify, the guy (one of those "end-of-the-world" sandwichboard guys) was explaining how the world was doomed and going to end today. He then made the newsseller promise not to forget to bring him ''tomorrow's'' copy of the magazine!

* The film actually manages to make the second sex scene more ridiculous. The music is Hallelujah by LeonardCohen, and the sequence follows thus:

* The mention of Rorschach dropping someone down an elevator shaft.

* "Excuse me. Have to visit Men's Room." "Oh for Christ's sake!" What's going on in there is probably horrifying, but Laurie and Dan's reactions are priceless.

** Right after this when Moloch turns around and aims his huge revolver at Rorschach, he pauses. He looks at Rorschach for a moment, than at his gun, than drops his gun and starts begging Rorschach not to kill him. Rorschach just kept a guy from shooting him by ''staring at him''.

* The look Laurie and Dan exchange after being "trapped" in the alley by the street gang.

* Ozymandias referring to the snow outside his Antarctic fortress to Doug Roth: "Not the kind of snow (cocaine) you're used to in California, Mr. Roth"
* Though likely unintentional, it's still pretty funny when Rorschach just randomly suspects that Ozymandias is gay in the middle of their conversation and decides to investigate it later. Made even funnier in the movie, where Nite Owl passes over a file on Ozymandias' computer that's labeled "BOYS", implying that Rorschach was ''right''.

* This troper found the brief scene in chapter 10 in which Daniel is trying to hack into [[spoiler: Veidt's]] computer while Rorschach rambles on and on in the background absolutely hilarious, especially this line:

--> '''[[SociopathicHero Rorschach:]]''' Why are so few of us left active, healthy, [[IResembleThatRemark and without personality disorders]]?

--> '''[[SociopathicHero Rorschach:]]''' Why are so few of us left active, healthy, and without personality disorders?

* "The End Is Nigh" Guy [[spoiler: (Rorschach in disguise)]] asking the newsseller that he won't forget his copy of the New Frontiersman. Newsseller assures him he won't, and he walks away. Newsseller takes a drink, and guy reappears [[FailedASpotCheck behind the seller]], taps him on the shoulder, wanting a promise out of the seller. Cue SpitTake.

* Also in chapter 3, when we see Daniel getting new locks installed because Rorschach broke them during his previous visit. The guy installing the locks laughs as Daniel explains about how they were broken by his 'friend'. The real kick is when Rorschach visits again at the end of the chapter, saying "By the way, you need a stronger lock. That new one broke after one shove."
** It gets funnier when you realize the lock company is called "[[CuttingTheKnot Gordian Knot]]"...there is some very clever writing going on, yes indeed.

* A unintentional example in Chapter one, Rorsach interrogates Doctor Manhattan and Silk Specter in the Rockefeller Research Lab. When the Doc is walking by, the panel layout makes it look like Rors [[HoYay was checking out Doc's ass with a "Hurrm".]]

-->'''Ozymandias''': To answer your question, you get to be a superhero by [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower believing in the hero within you and summoning him or her forth by an act of will]]. Believing in yourself and your own potential is the first step to realizing that potential. Alternately, you could do as [[PhysicalGod Jon did]]: [[ILoveNuclearPower Fall into a nuclear reactor and hope for the best]].
