2	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flamingo.jpg]] [[caption-width-right:350:This is the least weird thing ''in'' Wonderland.]]
3	* The marvelous amount of DramaticIrony in Alice's song "A World of my Own". Also, the following exchange between her and her cat:
4	-->'''Alice:''' If I had a world of my own, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor everything would be nonsense! Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrariwise, what it is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would.]] [[MindScrew You see?]]\
5	'''Dinah:''' [''looking somewhat uncomfortable with the whole idea''] Meow.\
6	'''Alice:''' In my world, you wouldn't say "meow". You would say "yes Ms. Alice".\
7	'''Dinah:''' Meow.\
8	'''Alice:''' Oh but you would! You'd be just like people, Dinah. And all the other animals, too.
9	* Alice falls down the rabbit hole and her dress poofs up like a parachute. Her response to this?
10	--> "Well, after this I'll think nothing of falling down the stairs."
11	** That's actually a slightly changed line from the book, where it was just as funny.
12	* The first Caucus race is hilarious when Alice washes up on shore. She tries to point out the logic of running to get dry while the waves keep coming in...and every time she does a wave just knocks her over.
13	* Alice trying to politely tell Tweedledee and Tweedledum that their story about the Walrus and the Carpenter did nothing but waste her time:
14	-->'''Alice:''' [[TriviallyObvious That was a very sad story.]]\
15	'''Tweedledee and Tweedledum:''' Eh, and there's a moral to it.\
16	'''Alice:''' Oh, yes, a very good moral! [[SpaceWhaleAesop If you happen to be an oyster.]]
17	** Toward the end of the story, after the Carpenter discovers that the Walrus ate all the oysters, he begins walking toward the Walrus with a murderous look, holding his hammer as his face turns red. The Walrus then shouts, "[[CharacterCatchphrase THE TIME HAS COME!]]" and leaves an ImpactSilhouette behind in the door as the Carpenter chases after him.
18	** The Walrus's appalled reaction at the Carpenter's suggestion of work.
19	--> '''Walrus''': ''WORK?!''
20	** When the Carpenter finds the oysters, he originally tries to just hit them with his hammer, until the Walrus drags him away and hits him over the head with his cane.
21	** The beginning of the song, where Tweedledee and Tweedledum talk about how the sun was shining bright, which is odd, because its in the middle of the night.
22	* Alice comes across a bowl of cookies with "Eat me" and "Try me" in the White Rabbit's house. She eats one, starts growing and says "[[OhNoNotAgain Oh, no, no. Not again]]!"
23	* After Bill the Lizard has been shot off into the sky, both the Dodo and Alice give us this casual little bit, as if they'd seen it many, many times before:
24	-->'''Dodo:''' There goes Bill.\
25	'''Alice:''' Poor Bill.
26	* The White Rabbit's DoubleTake and BigWhat when the Dodo casually suggests he set the house on fire to smoke out "the monster" (Alice).
27	** And the ending to the "We'll Smoke the Blighter Out" song:
28	--->'''Dodo:''' Without a single doubt, we'll smoke the monster out!\
29	'''White Rabbit:''' [[ExplainExplainOhCrap We'll smoke the monster ou--]] [[BigNo NOOO! No-ho!]] My poor house and furniture!
30	* Alice seeking help from the Caterpillar:
31	-->'''Caterpillar:''' Exac-i-tic-ally, what is your problem?\
32	'''Alice:''' Well, it's [[GotMeDoingIt exac-i-tic-i.. Exac-it-i...]] Well, it's ''precisely'' this!
33	* The moment ''right'' Alice growing to a giant after eating a piece of a mushroom.
34	-->'''Alice:''' I'm tired of being only three inches high. [''suddenly starts growing rapidly''] Yi! Yi! Yi! YI-YI-YI-YI-YI-YI-YI!
35	* The [[CatsAreSnarkers Cheshire Cat]]'s scenes are all hilarious, especially at the trial.
36	-->'''Alice:''' Why, you're not a queen! You're nothing but a fat [''shrinks''] pompous [''shrinks''] bad tempered old ty-- [''[[OhCrap back to her normal size, in a small voice]]''] tyrant.\
37	'''Queen of Hearts:''' [''rubs her hands and chuckles half in [[LaughingMad madness]], half in [[TranquilFury barely contained rage]], then speaks in DissonantSerenity''] ''And what were you saying, my dear?''\
38	'''Cheshire Cat:''' [''appears on the Queen's head, ignoring Alice's nonverbal pleas to stop talking''] [[WhatHeSaid Well, she simply said that you're a fat, pompous, bad tempered old tyrant!]] [''devious laugh and disappears'']\
39	'''Queen of Hearts:''' '''''OOOOOOFFFFFF WITH HER HEAD!!!!!'''''
40	** The Cat successfully {{troll}}ing Alice.
41	--->'''Cheshire Cat:''' Oh, and by the way. If you'd really like to know, he went that way.\
42	'''Alice:''' Who did?\
43	'''Cheshire Cat:''' The White Rabbit.\
44	'''Alice:''' He did?\
45	'''Cheshire Cat:''' He did what?\
46	'''Alice:''' Went that way.\
47	'''Cheshire Cat:''' Who did?\
48	'''Alice:''' (''getting frustrated'') The White Rabbit!\
49	'''Cheshire Cat:''' ''What rabbit?''\
50	'''Alice:''' But didn't you just say...I mean...[[RageQuit oh dear]]!
51	** The fact that Alice is so accustomed to the weirdness in Wonderland that the Cheshire Cat literally [[VisualPun standing on his head]] doesn't faze her.
52	** The Cheshire Cat's comment to Alice while he disappears:
53	--->'''Cheshire Cat:''' You may have noticed that I'm not ''[[{{Pun}} ALL THERE]]'' myself, aha, ha ha ha! ''[[Literature/{{Jabberwocky}} And the mome raths outgrabe]]!''
54	* The entire watch sequence, bar none.
55	-->'''March Hare:''' Mustard!\
56	'''Mad Hatter:''' Mustard, yes, mus-...MUSTARD?!?! Don't let's be silly! Lemon, that's different.
57	** "Two days slow, that's what it is."
58	** March Hare suggesting to put sugar in the watch. Two teaspoons worth. The Mad Hatter [[LiteralMinded jams two teaspoons into the watch]].
59	** The March Hare's quite direct solution to the "MAD WATCH!" - [[PercussiveMaintenance whacking it with a mallet]]. The mainspring [[OverlyLongGag slowly unwinds itself]] - until the Hatter gives the White Rabbit his (mangled) watch back. The mournful look is priceless.
60	--->'''White Rabbit:''' Oh, my watch.\
61	'''Mad Hatter:''' It ''was!?''
62	** The Rabbit sadly lamenting that the watch had been an unbirthday gift, causing the Hatter and Hare to sing the Unbirthday Song to him, before throwing him out of the garden. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Alice has finally had enough of their nonsense and leaves]]
63	** The abuse the poor [[OnlySaneMan White Rabbit]] goes through in this sequence are hilarious. For example, the Hare yells the word "BUTTER!" in his ear before the Hatter slams some butter right in his face.
64	** The March Hare's "excellent idea".
65	--->'''March Hare:''' I have an excellent idea! Let's change the subject. [''hits the Hatter on the head with a mallet for no apparent reason'']
66	--->'''Mad Hatter:''' [''speaking through his hat''] Why is a raven like a writing desk?
67	** The following exchange when The Mad Hatter and The March Hare are asking Alice what's troubling her.
68	--->'''Mad Hatter:''' Something seems to be troubling you! Won't you tell us all about it?\
69	'''March Hare:''' Start from the beginning!\
70	'''Mad Hatter:''' Yes, and when you get to the end ha ha ha...[[CaptainObvious stop]]. See?
71	** As the Mad Hatter scrapes butter inside the watch:
72	--->'''White Rabbit:''' Oh, no no! No no no! [[SkewedPriorities You'll get crumbs in it!]]
73	* The fact that "an unbirthday" isn't just something that the Mad Hatter and March Hare came up with, it's a ''nationally recognized phenomenon''; not only has The White Rabbit received a present for it, the entire courtroom sings the Unbirthday song for the Queen when it's mentioned. [[MundaneMadeAwesome A celebration that lasts 364 days.]]
74	--->'''Alice:''' Then today is MY unbirthday, too!
75	--->'''March Hare:''' It is?!
76	--->'''Mad Hatter:''' [[InsaneTrollLogic What a small world it is!]]
77	* While the entire scene also doubles as NightmareFuel; a trio of clubs has to repaint the roses they planted because they're white and not red, because they're afraid of the Queen Of Hearts's wrath. She immediately notices upon her arrival, because they've mostly [[EpicFail just thrown the paint all over the place in the midst of their half-assed rush job to try to fix everything.]] [[DisproportionateRetribution She immediately sentences them to death,]] and everybody in the garden [[KickTheDog sings about how they earned it,]] set to the tune that the clubs were just singing. It all happens so fast there's nothing to do but laugh.
78	** The Queen and King's introduction, immediately preceding it.
79	--->'''The White Rabbit:''' Her royal majesty, The Queen Of Hearts!
80	--->'''Crowd:''' [[VillainWithGoodPublicity (raucous cheers)]]
81	--->''(The King Of Hearts pokes the White Rabbit's collar)''
82	--->'''The White Rabbit:''' (unimpressed) [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg ...and the king.]]
83	--->'''[[TheRuntAtTheEnd One Guy:]]''' Hooray!
84	*** The one guy sounds like WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse.
85	*** He gets dissed even more in the trial scene where not even that one guy says hooray for him.
86	** When Alice tries to plead for mercy on behalf of the three cards, she notices she's holding a paint brush and quickly hides it.
87	* During the croquet game Alice has difficulty with her flamingo, summed up in this exchange:
88	-->'''Alice:''' Do you want us both to lose our heads?!\
89	'''Flamingo:''' [[BluntYes UH-HUH!]]
90	** The Queen of Hearts initially chuckles at Alice’s struggle to control her flamingo, but eventually even ''she'' gets fed up of it!
91	--->'''Queen of Hearts:''' (muttering) Oh, of all the impossible…!
92	** The flamingo shaking Alice's legs, intending to use ''her'' as the mallet, while she looks displeased. Her hedgehog also encourages the flamingo to hit him with her.
93	** Then Alice beckons the flamingo towards her with a grin on her face. It leans in and she ''grabs'' its neck.
94	* When the Cheshire Cat keeps disappearing whenever the Queen is looking, she starts threatening her, shaking the flamingo she's playing croquet with like a weapon. And the flamingo is angrily nodding along to everything the Queen says.
95	* The March Hare and the Queen of Heart's HamToHamCombat at the trial scene.
96	-->'''King of Hearts:''' What do you know about this unfortunate affair?\
97	'''March Hare:''' Nothing.\
98	'''Queen of Hearts:''' [[SuddenlyShouting NOTHING WHATEVER?]]\
99	'''March Hare:''' NOTHING WHATEVER!\
100	'''Queen of Hearts:''' '''''THAAAAT'S VERY IMPORTANT!'''''
101	** The jury the writes down "very whatever, nothing important".
102	* And the Queen is about to yell at the Doormouse to give his evidence. But when advised to lower her voice, [[EveryoneHasStandards she does]]! And whispers to the Doormouse politely.
103	* The Queen's reaction to the Mad Hatter.
104	-->'''Queen:''' OFF WITH YOUR HAT!
105	* Alice {{face palm}}ing when the Mad Hatter and March Hare sing a reprise of "The Unbirthday Song".
106	-->'''Alice:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh]] [[OhNoNotAgain no...]]
107	* When everyone is trying to calm the Dormouse down at the trial, they're scrambling for the jam. In all the yelling the Queen shouts out "[[TemptingFate Let me have it!]]". Cue jam jar hitting her in the face.
108	* The Caucus race reprise - wherein you can see ''everyone'' in the film running in the circle. Even the ''Queen'' briefly seems to stop chasing Alice and join in with the dodos singing.
109	-->''Forward, backward, inward, outward\
110	Here we go again!\
111	No one ever loses\
112	And no one can ever win!''
