** Rabbi Tuckman, who is one of the most iconic characters of the movie but appears in only two scenes
** The Young Lad. Though his scene is a cheap HomeAlone gag, the young actor's over-the-top performance makes it one of the funniest scenes in the movie.

** For some though, this left-field oddness makes the scene even funnier. If nothing else, the boy who plays the Young Lad is fantastic.

Added DiffLines:

** The Sheriff tried to force Marion into marriage, and later tried to rape her. Yes, he is evil. If anyone, Prince John is a more sympathetic villain; just a dopey man trying to relax and not lose his position of power.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Was the Sherrif all that bad? Was Robin Hood such a hero? Robin can seem like a real GoodIsNotNice hero several times through the movie, while the Sherrif is something of a PunchClockVillain just doing his job.

It....introduced the Sherriff, established their enmity, and informed Prince John of Robin\'s presence. Without it, no one on the villains\' side would know who Robin was.


* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The screaming kid scene. It does help establish Robin's badassery, but apart from serving as a ''HomeAlone'' reference, it really has nothing to do with the movie.

* [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Crowning Music of]]... [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Funny?]]: The musical switchups during Robin and Little John's staff fight. It gets faster and sillier the shorter their staffs get, then finally turns into a chirpy, cartoonish ditty when they're reduced to smacking each other's knuckles with sticks.
