History Funny / Watchmen

* Rorschach has a dryly funny line when talking with his therapist Malcolm Long.

-->'''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]]. [[DeadpanSnarker On the whole I think I prefer to stick to my own methods]].

* From the start of Chapter 9:
-->'''Laurie:''' Oh shit. I'm on Mars.

--> '''Doctor Manhattan''': Laurie? What is...? Oh. Of course. Please forgive me. Sometimes these things slip my mind.
--> *Doctor Manhattan creates an air-pocket*
--> '''Laurie''': *gasping* Oh Jesus! Jesus! Jon, you stupid bastard!

-->'''TV Producer:''' Uh...[[Touche yeah]]. Actually, that's perfect.

!!Comic book

'''Dan''' ''(in complete disbelief)'': You...? Nahh, come on. That's completely... [[MyGodYouAreSerious You couldn't really do that?]]\\

* There's something funny about [[spoiler: Veidt]] throwing his arms in the air and shouting [[spoiler: I DID IT!]], he looks like a little kid!

* "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.

* "Excuse me. Have to visit the Little 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.

** Add to the funny the stealth pun, as Rorschach went in to the "little men's room" to find [[DepravedDwarf Big Figure]].

** Mook #2 is armed with an electric saw, but is easily dispatched by Rorschach slamming him into the toilet and breaking the bowl, allowing water to flow out. Rorschach casually climbs onto the bed, and within seconds the resulting puddle finds a frayed part of the wire and electrocutes the mook to death. It's interesting enough to him that he muses on it with the following remark:

* The fact that Alan Moore ''loved'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDDHHrt6l4w Saturday Morning Watchmen.]]

-->'''Dan''': Well, he tried it on Rorschach, and he dropped him down an elevator shaft.
-->'''Laurie''': (laughing) That is ''not'' funny!
-->'''Dan''': (also laughing) It's a little funny.

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

-->'''Laurie:''' *Orgasms and hits the flamethrower button*
--> {{Beat}}

** Mook #2 is armed with an electric saw, but is easily dispatched by Rorschach slamming him into the toilet and breaking the bowl, allowing water to flow out. Within seconds, the resulting puddle finds a frayed part of the wire and electrocutes the mook to death. It's interesting enough to him that he muses on it with the following remark:

** Silk Spectre complaining about how awful her {{Stripperiffic}} latex outfit was. Dan takes a [[CovertPervert rather deep breath]] before [[BlatantLies agreeing]].

* After TheReveal of [[spoiler: Veidt's]] EvilPlan, the last chapter starts with him (frustrated that Dreiberg ''still'' refuses to believe him) explaining it again in far simpler terms.

** There's also the brief moment where his flashlight doesn't work at first, prompting him to [[PercussiveMaintenance smack it]] to make it light up.
