2	[[caption-width-right:300:Dopey is a man (well, dwarf) of few words, but many expressions.]]

4	* The opening sequence:
5	** The birds during the song. One of them blushes [[ThroughAFaceFullOfFur through a face full of feathers]], and one of them is scared of Snow White's echo.
6	** The Prince appearing at the end of said song, replacing Snow White's echo, might give you a giggle due to the sheer [[IncomingHam hamminess]] of his line.
7	--->'''Snow White:''' I'm wishing...\
8	'''Echo:''' ''I'm wishing...''\
9	'''Snow White:''' For the one I love, to find me...\
10	'''Echo:''' ''To find me...''\
11	'''Snow White:''' Today.\
12	'''Prince:''' ''TOOODAAAAAAAAYYYY!!''
13	* Even the huntsman has a funny moment. After he refuses to kill Snow White and falls on his knees begging for mercy, he starts crying... and uses the princess' very own dress as a handkerchief. He's probably just meant to be clutching her skirt and pressing his forehead to it in supplication, but it ''looks'' like he CouldntFindATissue.
14	* Snow White and the cottage:
15	** It's tricky to spot and certainly unintentional, but: when Snow White enters the dwarfs' house for the first time (12 seconds into [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BenZ367FTDA this video]]) her forest friends creep in with her. The animators apparently forgot which animals they were drawing, because one rabbit hops behind another and comes out a squirrel.
16	** Snow needs to learn to communicate better.
17	--->'''Snow White:''' Oh!! ''[the animals run away in fear]'' What a cute little chair.
18	** Snow White admonishes the chipmunks not to simply sweep the dust under a rug. So they sweep it into a mousehole instead. They have just enough time to wink at each other in a very smug way before their bubble is burst by the dust coming back in a gust. They dash under the rug and poke their heads out just in time to see the mouse emerge and give them an earful of indignant chatter. The mouse finishes by kicking the dust back into their faces.
19	** When the animals are doing the dwarfs' laundry, they rub it on a turtle, who laughs.
20	* The dwarfs' first scene:
21	** During the digging segment at the start of "Heigh Ho", the dwarf mine makes some... unusual echoes.
22	--->'''Bashful:''' In a mine...\
23	'''Echo:''' In a mine...\
24	'''Sneezy:''' In a mine!\
25	'''Echo:''' In a mine!\
26	'''All together:''' Where a million diamonds...\
27	'''Echo:''' Shine!
28	** Dopey putting crystals over his eyes, as seen in the image above, and earning a DopeSlap (no pun intended) from Doc for the effort.
29	** When Dopey is tossing his sack into the vault, he forgets to let go. So the momentum pulls him into the vault along with the sack!
30	** After Doc and Dopey store their mined jewels in the mine vault, Dopey diligently locks it up and then hangs the key neatly on its peg... right next to the door. It renders the entire procedure meaningless, but Dopey is so innocent you don't hold it against him. It's still funny, though.
31	* The dwarfs come home and discover what Snow has been doing:
32	** When the dwarfs return from the mine, Dopey is the last one in the house and slams the door shut, making the rest panic for a second.
33	--->'''Other Dwarfs:''' Shh!\
34	'''Dopey:''' ''[while pointing at the door]'' Shh!
35	** The Dwarfs deciding to sneak into their own house to find out who is in there...complete with squeaky shoes on the scrubbed floor.
36	** When Sneezy sees that the dishes are no longer in the sink, he [[MistakenForThief assumes someone stole them]]. Happy sees that they've been put away and says, "They ain't stolen; they hid in the cupboard".
37	** When Grumpy warns both Happy and Dopey from eating the soup because it "might be poison", the pot hisses and rattles, causing them to jump.
38	--->'''Grumpy:''' See? It's witch's brew!
39	** Bashful admires the flowers and makes the mistake of holding them up to Sneezy. Many of the Dwarfs give him the AntiSneezeFinger and it only temporarily stops it as he the proceeds to [[SneezeOfDoom sneeze so big that every dwarf except Grumpy--who manages to barely stand against it--gets blown all the way across the room and into the wall]].
40	** The birds both pecking at the wood and then making a loud screech to scare the dwarfs.
41	** The point where the dwarfs realize that the intruder is up in their bedroom. Doc decides that one of them should "go down and chase it up", er, "up, down". They all begin nodding, [[WhyAreYouLookingAtMeLikeThat before they turn to Dopey, who looks around]] [[OhCrap until he realizes they mean him and tries to run away]], only for Grumpy and Happy to grab him. Doc gives him the candle and assures him that they'll be right behind him (they stay on the first floor, at least until Dopey makes it into their bedroom). When Dopey finally gets inside, he's startled by Snow White yawning and stretching underneath the sheets. Dopey freaks out and runs downstairs, bumping into the other dwarfs, causing them all to fall downstairs. The other dwarfs freak out in turn and run out of the house one by one, slamming the door and causing Dopey to run into it. He desperately tries to pull it back open as the dwarfs collectively hold it shut from outside, thinking it's the intruder.
42	** Dopey's scream, mainly because you wouldn't expect that his voice is deep.
43	* All of Grumpy's lines before he starts to grow fond of Snow White. ''All'' of them. He's just so hilariously against her while all the other dwarfs are fawning all over her as if she's a goddess.
44	-->'''Grumpy:''' Angel, ha! She's a female! An' all females is poison! They're full o' wicked wiles.\
45	'''Bashful:''' ...What are "wicked wiles"?\
46	'''Grumpy:''' I don't know. But I'm ag'in 'em.
47	** Snow White managing to [[HeavySleeper not wake up through any of this]] ever since the Dwarfs came home.
48	* Snow White imitating Grumpy when she first meets him.
49	-->'''Snow White:''' Oh... ''[crosses arms and deepens voice]'' you must be Grumpy.
50	** And the other Dwarfs laughing at Grumpy.
51	* Grumpy warns everyone upon meeting Snow White that the Queen, due to all her powers, could be in the room right now. Dopey proceeds to look for the Queen under Happy's beard, prompting [[BewareTheNiceOnes Happy]] to bop Dopey in annoyance.
52	* Doc having trouble pronouncing the phrase "apple dumplings", calling them "dapple lumplings", "lumple daplings", and "crapple dumpkins". The way both Grumpy and Sleepy correct him in unison also counts.
53	* One of the dwarfs' reasons they don't want to wash is "it ain't New Years". Another is "we ain't goin' nowhere".
54	** As Snow White is making the Dwarfs show her their hands, the funniest reactions are Happy futilely trying to wipe his on his pants beforehand; Dopey throwing his out so enthusiastically that his long sleeves over them up and then Sleepy calmly popping his out of his beard and then once looking at them, pulling them back real quick while smiling guiltily.
55	** As the Dwarfs are heading outside, Dopey is still looking at Snow White and too busy to look in front of him that he slams into the wall behind the door and makes a crashing noise. He then quickly runs around the door and then outside while still smiling and not missing a beat. The whole time, he still has his hands up too.
56	* Snow White gets a DeadpanSnarker moment when Grumpy refuses to wash.
57	-->'''Snow White:''' What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?
58	** Cue Grumpy sticking his tongue out at Snow White. The moment of indignation from him right before that also counts.
59	** Grumpy makes his way outside but walks into the door. Snow White sarcastically asks, "Did you hurt yourself?"
60	* The dwarfs are so inexperienced with washing that Happy doesn't expect the bathwater to be wet, and they think that it's required to make the babbling noise. And Sneezy also complains that the water is really cold.
61	* The dwarfs wondering what to do when Snow White orders them to wash up.
62	-->'''Sneezy:''' How hard do you scrub?\
63	'''Sleepy:''' Will our whiskers shrink?\
64	'''Happy:''' Do you get in the tub?\
65	'''Bashful:''' Do you have to wash where it doesn't show?
66	* During the washing song, a fly can be seen bathing itself.
67	** In fact, the RunningGag of this same fly who keeps bugging Sleepy now and then throughout the film.
68	* These lyrics in the washing song:
69	-->'''Doc''': So, splash all you like, it ain't any trick. As soon as you're through, you'll feel mighty slick.
70	-->'''Grumpy''': Bunch of old nanny-goats! You make me sick, going 'brr-brr-brr'!
71	* At one point during the washing sequence, the dwarves decide to clean their entire heads and faces along with their hands. Doc helps to scrub their bald heads with a long-handled brush, but Dopey keeps ducking out of the way. Doc gets so irritated that he eventually slams Dopey into the tub and scrubs his clothed bottom instead.
72	* The dwarfs surrounding Grumpy with NotSoInnocentWhistling before Doc leads the charge with "Get him!" They proceed to outright destroy the barrel Grumpy was sitting on while tackling him.
73	-->'''Grumpy:''' ''LEMME LOOSE YA FOOLS, LEMME LOOSE!!!''
74	** Then [[ForcedBath they drag him over to wash him]] and drape him with flowers as payback for his grouchy stubbornness and mockery.
75	--->'''Bashful:''' Ain't he sweet! \
76	'''Sneezy:''' (''sniffs Grumpy'') Smells like a... petunia! (''all laugh'') \
77	'''Happy:''' (''places a flower crown on Grumpy's head'') He sure is cute! (''kisses Grumpy's head and pats it while the other dwarfs holding Grumpy double up in laughter'') \
78	'''Grumpy:''' You'll pay ''dearly'' for this!
79	*** This ends when Snow's call to supper makes them drop Grumpy unceremoniously into the tub.
80	* Dopey with the soap; it constantly slips out of his hands until, after charging towards it, he swallows it by mistake. Despite the fact that he immediately starts to hiccup out bubbles, he doesn't realize where the soap is until about ten seconds later, and after a [[{{Beat}} slight pause]], he goes into a [[HiccupHijinks hiccuping frenzy]] that lasts for the rest of the washing scene.
81	** Special mention to the final moments where his head gets shoved into his coat, and he hiccups a bubble out of his collar, which carries his hat into the air.
82	** The reason he needs the soap is to wash Grumpy, but the dwarfs are already washing Grumpy with two bars of soap. One gets the idea that the dwarfs just have soap bars lying around and tell Dopey to get one when they want him out of the way.
83	** This also means that Dopey's angry struggles to get the soap, his numerous failures and what he ultimately does to himself just by following Doc's instructions... [[AllForNothing was completely pointless]]. Dopey clumsily swallowed the soap, hiccuped bubbles nonstop to the point of wooziness, and missed out on washing Grumpy with the rest of the dwarfs, for absolutely no reason.
84	* The potion-brewing scene:
85	** One of the InsubstantialIngredients for the Queen's peddler disguise spell is "an old hag's cackle." Said ingredient is stored in liquid form in a glass container and kept warm by a burner on low flame. What's funny is when the Queen turns up the burner to boil the liquid and take some for the spell, the ingredient itself cackles as it boils, as if it finds the full flame ''tickling.''
86	** Even funnier, she uses "To shroud my clothes, the black of night". That's right, she used a mystical ingredient in her potion when she could have... you know... just put on a black cloak.
87	** Even after THAT, she decides the next ingredient should be “A blast of wind to fan my hate" and finally "a thunderbolt to mix it well”. First off, why would she need literal wind to help her hate Snow White more when she already wants her dead, secondly, why couldn’t she use a freakin spoon instead of thunderbolts to stir up the potion?!
88	* Sneezy yodeling with Dopey bobbing his head watching his Adam's apple.
89	* This bit during "The Silly Song": Bashful steps up to sing his verse only to stop because he's embarrassed. Annoyed, Grumpy starts playing the verse over again, but Bashful stops again and hides his face in his beard. Grumpy then angrily slams all the keys down on the organ, as if to say "Oh, just get on with it already!". The rest of the dwarfs find it hilarious.
90	* Sneezy trying to keep up with Snow White's footwork, all while having to carry Dopey on his shoulders because he wanted to dance with her. You can practically see him thinking, "Shoot, where does my right foot go?"
91	* The scene where Sneezy sneezes underneath the coat he and Dopey were wearing (which results in the coat briefly inflating to twice its original size and Dopey flying out from the top onto one of the beams near the ceiling--complete with a balloon deflating sound), was hilarious enough in one's childhood that rewinding and rewatching 50 times in one session was highly necessary. Dopey trying to stop the sneeze by holding an AntiSneezeFinger to his own nose is the cherry on top, then he's sent flying away and lands on a column, with the coat lowering to show Sneezy with a rather embarrassed smile as everyone bursts out laughing for the hilarious and unexpected ending. And the ''sound'' of Sneezy's sneeze is hilarious in and of itself:
92	-->'''AH-UUUUM-PSSSSSSSH!'''
93	** All the Dwarfs running for cover right before it happens is funny too.
94	** Before the whole dance, Dopey as he's getting on Sneezy's shoulders briefly uses his foot on Sneezy as the AntiSneezeFinger.
95	* Dopey whimpering and pawing in his sleep like a dog.
96	* "[[JumpScare HAVE A BITE?]]" says the Queen in Hag form as she jokingly offers the poisoned apple to her own raven. The bird scrambles away as if it thinks it will die simply by ''touching'' it. The Queen then chuckles and says "It's not for you!" the way a mother might scold a really young child for trying to get at food that, well, isn't for them.
97	* The Queen gloats that after Snow White's dead she'll be the fairest in the land and cackles evilly but then stops and says "But wait !" and then looks around like making sure nobody's listening when, except for the raven, she's the only one in the room.
98	* The Queen REALLY hams it up after she learns the Sleeping Death’s antidote.
99	-->'''Queen:''' ''(reads)'' "The victim of the Sleeping Death can be revived only by love's first kiss." Love's first kiss? BAH! ''(Slams the book closed)'' No fear of that. The Dwarves will think she’s DEAD! She’ll be BURIED ALIVE! (''cackles insanely as her raven gives her a “WTF?” look'') '''BURIED ALIVE!!!!!!''' (''cackles all the way down her secret trapdoor'')
100	* There's a [[BlackComedy very darkly humorous]] scene after the Queen becomes the Hag. She walks down through the dungeon and comes across a skeleton reaching for a bucket of water. Her response?
101	-->''"Thirsty? [[LargeHam HAVE A DRINK!]]" [kicks the bucket at the skeleton]''
102	* The scene where Snow White kisses the dwarfs goodbye. Namely Dopey repeatedly coming back for another kiss, puckering up for Snow White to kiss him on the lips only for her to tilt his face down by his ears and kiss his head instead, and Grumpy obviously wanting a kiss too (shining his forehead in the mirror beforehand, clearing his throat while marching in place to get Snow White's attention, and of course melting into a soppy smile after she does kiss him), but [[{{Tsundere}} trying his best to hide it and be his usual grumpy self]], only to repeatedly stumble into accidents (getting his nose stuck in a tree hole, falling into the stream, then banging his head on the bridge) because his feigned nose-in-the-air indignity keeps him from watching where he's going as he marches off.
103	* While it's a serious situation, it's still funny to see the animals pulling and pushing at the Dwarfs to follow them back to Snow White after the Witch arrives.
104	* In a [[BlackComedy creepy (yet still funny) way]], the vultures. Either the witch dies and they get to nom her body... or Snow White dies and they get to nom ''her'' body... or the Dwarves die and they get to nom ''their'' bodies. Whatever the outcome, you can see them thinking, "This is gonna be a good night".
105	* It’s obviously played for horror, but the Queen’s demeanor [[TalkingIsAFreeAction while Snow White is “wishing” on the apple]] is darkly humorous — you can tell she’s thinking something like “Oh for the love of god, Snow White, just eat the damn apple and DIE already!”
106	* "NOW ''I'LL'' BE FAIREST IN THE LAND!!!" Why is this funny? The Queen yells this [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis while still in her Old Hag disguise]].
107	* When the Lux Radio Theatre presented their adaptation in December 1938, to celebrate the first anniversary, Walt was brought in to be interviewed by showhost Creator/CecilBDeMille. Cecil then asks Walt what he would do if he could do ''Snow White'' over again, and Walt responds with the following:
108	** Having 7,000 giants (including one taller than the other 6,999) instead of Dwarfs.
109	** Have the witch stalked by bombers instead of vultures.
110	** The witch selling Snow White a poisoned fruitcart.
111	* The [[WhatCouldHaveBeen deleted sequence]] of the Dwarfs building a bed for Snow White is full of Funny Moments:
112	** During the initial brainstorming before they settle on the bed:
113	*** Doc suggests a royal coach with six white herses, [[{{Malaproper}} er,]] horses. Happy wonders where they'd get the horses, while Bashful points out that Snow White might leave them.
114	*** Grumpy suggests they give her something useful, like a mop. The other Dwarfs quickly shoot down that idea.
115	*** The final suggestion of the bed comes from Sleepy ([[CaptainObvious since he is]]), who hadn't even been brainstorming with the others, like Grumpy. He also offers to try the bed out when they're finished.
116	** Happy uses a deer's antlers as a tool rack.
117	** As Sleepy is carving a decoration on top of one of the posts, the fly that annoys him throughout the film perches on it, and he tries to hit it with his hammer and chisel, quickly going into rapid-fire hammering BigBallOfViolence-style. When it's over, he hasn't hit the fly, but [[AchievementsInIgnorance he's carved a full rabbit out of the post]].
118	** A baby bluebird is pulling out curly wood shavings from holes two other birds are boring in the headboard, but when he pulls too hard on one, he goes flying and winds up with it coiled around him.
119	** When Grumpy's pencil point snaps off while tracing the shape of the board, he uses a squirrel (one of several gnawing on the wood to shape it) as a makeshift pencil sharpener.
120	** A rabbit models for Bashful on a tree branch as he carves angels on the frame, using leaves as wings.
121	** While carving a corkscrew groove around a post, Sneezy sneezes and goes flying all the way to the ground, completing the pattern in one fell swoop.
122	** Happy has trouble threading a needle, so a hummingbird steps in to help by sticking its beak through the eye to grab the thread for him.
123	** Dopey proves to be quite the sneaky bastard by gathering cloth swatches for Happy...off the undergarments of the other Dwarfs. The entire thing is made all the more hilarious by the bouncy piano rendition of his {{Leitmotif}} that plays as he does it.
124	*** His first victim is Bashful, and it gets witnessed by an intrigued squirrel who only sees Dopey's hand come in under Bashful's legs, grab his undershirt from beneath his tunic, snip off a piece, and withdraw. The squirrel stares through Bashful's legs in awe as Bashful himself looks behind him. Realizing the dwarf thinks he's responsible, the squirrel dons an OhCrapSmile, and then [[KarmicMisfire Bashful bops him on the head]] with an annoyed look.
125	*** Then Dopey moves on to Doc, cutting a piece from the back, and then another from the front when Doc looks up, wondering what happened. Doc ponders for a while, but shrugs it off, and when he turns away, Dopey goes full {{Impossible Th\|eft}}ief by ''[[RefugeInAudacity stripping Doc of his entire undershirt]].'' Doc panics mildly, but is still none the wiser about who the culprit is.
126	*** Finally, when Dopey brings Doc's undershirt back to Happy, he starts laughing hysterically, distracting him long enough for Dopey to cut a swatch off ''his'' undershirt from his butt area without him immediately realizing it. However, he finds out and covers his butt with one hand while giving Dopey a pretty good DeathGlare for catching him red-handed, all while Dopey stays still with an innocent look. All he had to do was getting a bit of cloth for the bed covers and give everything to Happy, but no, he pranks everyone by stealing their undershirts, and apparently, cutting Happy's undershirt to the point that his bum is uncovered is crossing the line. It's no wonder Happy is mad at Dopey.
127	** At the end, Sneezy is making the mattress by churning (like butter) a bunch of soft stuff like dandelion seeds, bird feathers, and rabbit tail bits inside a large cloth. Dopey brings in some dandelions and Sneezy accidentally smells them. He tries to stave off a sneeze, but eventually grabs the corners of the cloth, shuts himself inside, and lets fly, finishing the job.
128	* The deleted scene where Grumpy and Doc getting into a fight:
129	** Doc hopping up and down, ready for a fist fight.
130	** Snow White guilt-tripping the dwarfs into letting her stay is so unexpected of her that it's actually pretty funny. A sarcastic, passive-aggressive Snow White is a sight indeed.
131	** The GotMeDoingIt moment:
132	--->'''Grumpy''': Aw, you're a pot-bellied old hop-toad!
133	--->'''Doc''': I'm a...He's a...Who's a belly-potted old flop, uh...jelly flop-bellied...
134	--->'''Grumpy''': You! You're a flop-bellied, uh...toad-jelly, uh...Oh, now ya got me doing it!
135	** Snow White [[OhCrap realizing]] that she fell asleep with the soup still boiling and doing a 180-degree jump into the air.
136	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JyFGLViKc0 Another deleted scene]] has Snow White and the dwarfs sitting down to enjoy the soup she's made for them, singing a song about the "Music in Your Soup", which provides another gag-fest.
137	** The guys slurping up their soup, getting progressively more coarse about it.
138	** Grumpy trying to sneak back in without anyone else noticing and trying the soup, deciding he actually likes it.
139	** Snow White trying to teach them to eat soup like gentlemen, which goes about as well as you'd expect until she just throws her hands up.
140	** Culminates with a BrickJoke as Dopey accidentally swallows his spoon and the dwarfs' attempts to get it out wind up not only getting the spoon out, but the soap he'd swallowed earlier as well.
141	** Dopey drinking with his tongue, like a cat or a dog.
