3 | !The film: |
4 | * The first thing Barnabas sees after being released (and slaking his thirst)? [[UsefulNotes/McDonalds A large golden symbol]] that quite resembles one he had found in a book about the Devil. |
5 | -->'''Barnabas:''' Mephistopheles! |
6 | * When Elizabeth finds Barnabas talking with Carolyn and David and demands to know what's going on, Carolyn says "I'm pretty sure he called me a hooker." |
7 | ** Barnabas then gives her a look of confusion. |
8 | * Barnabas and Angelique meeting again: |
9 | -->'''Angelique:''' Barnabas, get over it. |
10 | -->'''Barnabas:''' LOCKED IN A BOX! For 200 years! |
11 | -->'''Angelique:''' Don't exaggerate. It was only 196. |
12 | * Pretty much any scene with Julia Hoffman, but one in particular: |
13 | -->'''Hoffman:''' ''[to Barnabas]'' Do you know what doctor/patient confidentiality is? ''[descends crotch-wise]'' |
14 | * During the climax when Elizabeth realizes Carolyn is a werewolf, Carolyn gives her the most deadpan expression ([[LeaningOnTheFourthWall at the camera]]) and says: |
15 | -->'''Carolyn:''' I'm a werewolf, okay? Let's not make a big deal about it. |
16 | -->''[{{Beat}}]'' |
17 | -->'''Carolyn:''' Woof! |
18 | * Barnabas seeing a television for the first time and trying to figure out how it works. |
19 | -->'''Barnabas:''' What kind of sorcery is this? ''[rips an input cord out]'' Reveal yourself, tiny songstress! |
20 | ** Later on, he's watching ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo''. |
21 | --->'''Barnabas:''' [[TakeThat This is a very silly play]]. |
22 | * Until he gets a coffin to rest in, Barnabas has to make do with sleeping upside down on a bedpost, a refrigerator box, and a cabinet full of towels and blankets. |
23 | * When Angelique tries to make Barnabas take her back. Doubly funny because it makes Barnabas drop his SesquipedalianLoquaciousness act: |
24 | -->'''Angelique:''' What if I made you? |
25 | -->'''Barnabas:''' With what, a spell? A little doll filled with pins? That is not love. |
26 | -->'''Angelique:''' ''[rips her suit off]'' [[IHaveBoobsYouMustObey With THIS!]] |
27 | -->'''Barnabas:''' '''[[DistractedByTheSexy Oh]]'''. |
28 | ** "I-I-I must admit, they have not aged a day." |
29 | ** Even before the bodice rip, Barnabas's facial reactions to Angelique taking his hand to fondle her with. He seems quite...content with it. |
30 | * Barnabas asking Carolyn for some love advice. It's impossible for that setup to ''not'' be hilarious. |
31 | -->'''Barnabas:''' What is your age, if I may? |
32 | -->'''Carolyn:''' Fifteen. |
33 | -->'''Barnabas:''' Fifteen and no husband? You must put those birthing hips to use at once, lest your womb shrivel up and die! |
34 | -->'''Carolyn:''' You're weird. |
35 | ** The priceless moment when Barnabas recites The Steve Miller Band's "The Joker" as ''poetry''! And then compares it favorably to ''Shakespeare''! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5d9IrjGNcA Heck, just listen to it.]] |
36 | * Barnabas' scene with the hippies. Especially the end. |
37 | * The RunningGag of Barnabas thinking that Music/AliceCooper is a woman. |
38 | -->'''Barnabas:''' ''[watching Cooper perform]'' Ugliest woman I've ever seen. |
39 | * At the party, the old cleaning woman is sitting right in front of a speaker just reading and not even being aware of the music coming from it. |
40 | * Barnabas's response to Angelique's proposal: |
41 | -->'''Barnabas:''' I have prepared my counter-proposal, it reads thusly: you may strategically place your wonderful lips upon my posterior and kiss it repeatedly! |
42 | * When Barnabas is locked in a coffin for the second time. |
43 | -->'''Barnabas:''' ''[hearing footsteps]'' I hear you! Come! Do not fear! |
44 | -->''[The coffin lid opens]'' |
45 | -->'''Barnabas:''' Oh, thank goodness! What year is it? How many decades have passed? |
46 | -->'''David:''' It's been twenty minutes. ''[{{beat}}]'' Why do you have ladies' underwear on your face? |
47 | -->'''Barnabas:''' Never mind that! |
48 | * During the final battle: |
49 | -->'''Angelique:''' "Command?" You make me sick! ''[projectile vomits]'' |
50 | -->'''Barnabas:''' ''[dodges out of the way]'' Missed me. |
51 | -->''[Angelique vomits again and gets Barnabas in the face]'' |
52 | ** The old cleaning woman even starts to wipe the venom off his face, but [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere gives up]] when she sees the bugs in the mess. |
53 | * Behind-the-scenes example: When Denise Nickerson, who played both Amy Jennings/Nora Collins in the original series, and Violet Beauregarde in ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory'', noted Creator/JohnnyDepp starring in both the ''Film/DarkShadows'' movie and ''Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'', she made jokes in interviews not long after about Depp being obsessed with her career. |
