Line #55 Funny/Tintin


1	Funny Moments from the 1991 animated series have [[Funny/TheAdventuresOfTintin1991 their own page]].
2	----
3	!!!From the comics:
4
5	* In general: Whenever Captain Haddock loses his temper. Because when Haddock ''does'' lose his temper, some [[FloweryInsults wonderfully creative insults]] are on their way.
6	-->''Mountebanks! Bashi-bazouks!'' '''[[FelonyMisdemeanor ICONOCLASTS!!]]'''
7	* A lot of Tintin's adventures could have been avoided if only he just kept to himself. Even though The Black Island has some dumb mooks try to kill him simply because he might find out their secret, sometimes the efforts that Tintin goes through to uncover the story are insane!

12	* Somehow Tintin finds himself in possession of a barbell prop belonging to a sham heavyweight.

16	[[folder:''Cigars of the Pharaoh'']]
17	* After crashing a plane in the jungle, Tintin ironically gets hit in the head by a first aid kit.
18	** Then as if on cue, Tintin gets hit on the head by a first aid manual.
19
20	[[/folder]]
21
22	[[folder:''The Blue Lotus'']]
23	* Early on, the Maharaja brings in a Fakir to entertain Tintin with some tricks. The man lies on a bed of nails and sticks knives into his body without any sign of harm, then sits on a couch next to Tintin – only to leap up again with a yelp of pain from sitting on a ''cushion''. He has to call a servant in to bring a platform full of spikes so he can sit down comfortably.
24	* Tintin feigning madness.
25	* The Thompsons' {{Outdated Outfit}}s and being followed by a huge crowd of locals, dressed in normal clothes and laughing at them.
26	-->"Don't look now, but I think we're being followed."
27	* Tintin (disguised as a General), screwing with an enemy Colonel:
28	-->'''Colonel''': Attention! Present arms!\
29	''(Tintin inspects the lineup, running his riding crop over the Colonel's stubble.)''\
30	'''Colonel''': Unshaven, sir. Two days detention, sir?\
31	''(Tintin holds up four fingers.)''\
32	'''Colonel''': Yes, sir. Four days detention, sir.\
33	''(The Colonel sweats as Tintin eyeballs him. A piece of paper blows across the parade ground and lands against the Colonel's Leg. Tintin holds up four fingers again.)''\
34	'''Colonel''': Another four days? But, sir, it was the wind-\
35	''(Tintin furiously holds up eight fingers.)''\
36	'''Colonel''': Yes, sir. Another eight days detention, sir...
37

40	[[folder:''The Broken Ear'']]
41	* The sequence where Tintin has been framed as a rebel terrorist and is about to be executed by firing squad is priceless:
42	** Tintin is about to be shot, when a colonel runs into the yard and shouts that "the tyrant Tapioca" has been defeated by the heroic Alcazar and his rebels (The firing squad: "Long live Alcazar! Down with Tapioca!") and Tintin is to be set free. Then another colonel runs in and tells the first colonel that he is mistaken - it is Tapioca who has won and Alcazar who has been defeated. The colonel immediately shouts that "the tyrant Alcazar" has been defeated by the heroic Tapioca (The firing squad: "Long live Tapioca! Down with Alcazar!") and now Tintin is to be executed anyway.
43	** It turns out that all the rifles have been sabotaged, and while the firing squad is getting new rifles, their leader, another colonel, invites Tintin for a drink of [[GargleBlaster the local rotgut, Aguardente]]. It takes a while to find rifles that work, so when the squad comes back, the bottle is almost empty, and Tintin and the colonel march unsteadily arm-in-arm out into the yard, loudly proclaiming their undying friendship.
44	** The colonel keeps messing up his "Ready - Aim - Fire", and the drunken Tintin finds it hilarious to repeatedly shout "Long live General Alcazar" at the top of his lungs. So when Alcazar's rebels storm the capital and interrupt the execution, he is proclaimed a hero of the revolution and taken to see the general.
45	** Impressed by the drunken Tintin's "loyalty", General Alcazar appoints him a colonel on the spot, and when Colonel Diaz suggests that he is made a corporal instead, as the army has 3487 colonels but only 49 corporals, Alcazar gets angry at having his orders questioned and demotes Diaz to corporal instead.
46	** Diaz gets so angry at having his career destroyed that he joins a "secret society" for revenge. Said society consists of a bunch of angry-looking, mustachioed men that sit around in a dark basement wearing black capes, domino masks and enormous sombreros.
47	** Finally, there is Tintin's panicked expression the next day when he realizes that he has become a hero of the revolution and Alcazar's right-hand man - with NO idea about how it all happened.
48	* In one of Corporal Diaz's attempted assassinations of General Alcazar has him place a box of dynamite next to the general's quarters and light a fuse, which he observes from what he thinks is a safe distance under a statue of General Olivaro, Liberator of San Theodoros. As the dynamite explodes, he shouts, "Justice is done!" In the next panel, the decapitated head of General Olivaro gives him a concussion, and it turns out that it did no harm to Alcazar except give him a case of jaundice (which, to complete the picture, he had just been joking with Tintin about).
49	** What is particularly hilarious is that the corporal forgot to ''bury the dynamite'' before detonating it. As one of the conspirators in the assassination coup lampshades, putting dynamite next to a wall produces nothing but a loud bang.

53	[[folder:''The Black Island'']]
54	* [[CluelessDetective Thompson and Thomson have wrongfully captured Tintin]]. The latter escapes and handcuffs them both to one another. As they chase Tintin, the handcuffs get caught on a lamppost and [[AmusingInjuries they slam straight on each other.]]
55	* Snowy manages to terrify "the beast" – really a trained guard gorilla – into a panicky retreat by barking and growling and is thinking to himself how ridiculous it is for the gorilla to be scared of something so small and harmless... [[HypocriticalHumor when he spots a spider on the floor and makes a hasty retreat.]]

60	[[folder:''King Ottokar's Sceptre'']]
61	* Snowy tried to steal a dinosaur bone from a museum.
62	* Tintin and Snowy hitching a ride with Bianca Castafiore to the Syldavian capital, and she decides to "treat" them to her music, which makes the local wildlife run away and Tintin worryingly checking out if the car's windows are resistant enough.
63	* After the titular sceptre gets stolen, Thomson and Thompson try to reenact the theft using a tree branch found outside since it's very roughly the same size and shape as the scepter. The only possible place for the sceptre to leave was through the barred window, but both find out the hard way that simply throwing it towards the window would've had the sceptre bounce off the window because of its Y-shaped end as the stick hits both of them.
64

66
67	[[folder:''The Crab with the Golden Claws'']]
68	* Tintin gets a well meaning but hard clap on the back from Thompson and Thomson each, but he returns the gesture by doing the same thing to both of them and making them slosh their beers.
69	* Tintin, Haddock and Snowy getting drunk off wine fumes, and Haddock going {{berserk\|Button}} on the villains when one of them takes away his bottle:
70	-->'''Haddock:''' ''(chasing a villain)'' Blackamoor! Anthracite! Coconut! [[BreadEggsMilkSquick Fuzzy-wuzzy! Cannibal!]]\
71	'''Tintin:''' Go on! Seek! Seek! Bite him!

75
76	[[folder:''The Shooting Star'']]
77	* During a dinner break, the ''Aurora'' begins sailing through stormy water, causing the scientists to get seasick. Eventually only Tintin and Haddock are left at the table.
78	* Professor Phostle getting splashed in the face with ocean water.
79	* Snowy eating all the sausages meant for the bangers and mash to be served at dinner.
80	* Captain Haddock's relief when they reach land. It's not because they're out of fuel, but because they're out of whiskey.
81
82	[[/folder]]
83
84	[[folder:''Secret of the Unicorn'']]
85	* There's a RunningGag where [[ThoseTwoGuys Thomson and Thompson]] keep getting their wallets lifted. Eventually they decide to secure their wallets with elastic bands, which results in a bit of {{slapstick}} when the pickpocket shows up later in the story. Later, they are amazed that their wallets ''haven't'' been stolen, despite said wallets being on a chain ([[HilariousInHindsight predicting, by coincidence, a minor fad in the 1990s]]). Finally, they pay the pickpocket responsible a visit, and a search of the thief's collection (he's a kleptomaniac who hasn't actually taken the contents of the wallets for his own use, and in fact feels some guilt over it all) reveals an entire ''shelf'' of alphabetised wallets... with a conspicuously large section labeled "T".
86	[[/folder]]
87
88	[[folder:''Red Rackham's Treasure'']]
89	* When Calculus is discovered aboard the ship, it leads to a WhosOnFirst exchange culminating in "Separate pieces? My whiskey is in separate pieces?"
90	* Thompson and Thomson try to help with navigating. After reading the coordinates they give him, Captain Haddock tells them to remove their hats and pray. They do, and enquire why. The reason? "According to these coordinates, gentlemen, we are currently standing inside Westminster Abbey!"
91	* The parrots on the desert island who are still mimicking the curses taught to them by Sir Francis Haddock centuries ago, and passed down through generations.
92	* The time Haddock ''doesn't'' lose his temper, and is faced with a reporter from the newspaper that had leaked their treasure hunting intentions. Instead of chewing the man out, he asks that he interview his secretary: Professor Calculus.
93	* After returning to Europe, Thompson and Thomson say they'll be staying at some friends' farm for a well-earned vacation. [[HereWeGoAgain They end up working on an agricultural machine that look exactly like that accursed manual air pump they've been operating for the last few weeks.]]
94	* Near the end of the book, Calculus tries to explain that they can buy Marlinspike Hall with the money he got from selling his invention to the government, but Haddock is so upset about the seemingly-failed treasure hunt that he cuts him off with a rant:
95	-->"Money? Oh, you've got some money? Good for you! Personally, I haven't any!"
96	[[/folder]]
97
98	[[folder:''The Seven Crystal Balls'']]
99	* Captain Haddock trying to figure out a famous magician's magic trick of [[ItMakesSenseInContext turning water into whiskey.]]
100	* Tintin, Snowy, and Captain Haddock are out attending a variety show where one of the acts is Bianca Castafiore performing the jewel song from Faust. Once she starts singing, Snowy chimes in howling, prompting all three of them to leave their seats.
101	** Tintin and Haddock's reactions to her singing are worth noting.
102	--->'''Haddock:''' "Powerful stuff, eh!"\
103	'''Tintin:''' "You've said it!"\
104	'''Haddock:''' "I don't know why, but whenever I hear her, it reminds me of a hurricane that hit my ship – when I was in the West Indies some years ago…"
105	* Captain Haddock accidentally knocking over some unused sets with one kick. This also prompts a bull mount to get stuck on Captain Haddocks head.
106	** If that weren’t enough, he also stumbles onstage interrupting a magic act and creates a ruckus.
107	*** Not just any magic act… [[BrickJoke the very same “water-to-whiskey” magic act Haddock had been trying to recreate!]]
108	[[/folder]]
109
110	[[folder:''Prisoners of the Sun'']]
111	* The RunningGag of Captain Haddock and llamas.
112
113	[[/folder]]
114
115	[[folder:''Land of the Black Gold'']]
116	* Oliveira da Figueira introduces Tintin (who's in disguise) as his nephew Alvaro to get into Professor Smith's house. He then provides a distraction by weaving an elaborate, tragic story about "Alvaro's" parents, who died and left him a orphan. This is taken up to eleven in the Nelvana series.
117
118	[[/folder]]
119
120	[[folder:''Destination Moon'']]
121	* Captain Haddock, for fun, decides to improvise being a radio host when in front of the computers, and imitates Bianca Castafiore's singing, leading to Professor Calculus to think the alarm has sounded.
122	* An X-ray machine makes Thompson and Thomson think there's a [[DemBones live skeleton walking around the complex]]. Searching around for it, they find a model skeleton in a doctor's office. They decide to handcuff and arrest it, accusing it of merely playing dead. The doctor is not amused.
123	* The calamity that ensues after Captain Haddock refers to Calculus as a "goat":
124	-->'''Calculus:''' ''(while crashing a jeep through a guard outpost)'' [[IncomingHam MAKE WAY FOR THE GOAT!!]]
125	* Captain Haddock's numerous attempts at curing Professor Calculus' EasyAmnesia, which do not work and/or backfire on the former, starting with dressing up as a British soldier, followed by a jack-in-the-box camera with a snake head, a water pistol, a firecracker and finally a BedsheetGhost. Haddock gets so frustrated by the lack of progress that he lashes out at an unresponsive Calculus, asking if he's enjoying himself watching Haddock "acting the goat". This pushes Calculus' BerserkButton and jogs his memory immediately, leading to the professor chasing Haddock around.
126	[[/folder]]
127
128	[[folder:''Explorers on the Moon'']]
129	* Thompson and Thomson get a bit confused about the concept of lunar "seas", and wonder if there'll be a seaside resort on the Moon. Haddock sarcastically quips that they could get jobs as Theatre/PunchAndJudy men, to which the Thompsons take offense... [[DelayedReaction eventually]].
130	-->'''Thomson:''' This man [[{{Malaproper}} has apologized to us, and we demand an insult]]!\
131	'''Thompson:''' No, you great oaf! You're back to front!\
132	'''Thomson:''' Oh? You mean [[ComicallyMissingThePoint we've insulted this man and we owe him an apology?]]
133	* Meta-example: [[LifeImitatesArt After the Apollo 11 landing marked the first time that humans landed on the Moon in July 1969]], Creator/{{Herge}} marked the occasion [[https://i0.wp.com/www.sneakydragon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Tintin-and-Neil-on-the-Moon.png by drawing]] UsefulNotes/NeilArmstrong arriving at the Moon and seeing Tintin, Haddock, Calculus, and Snowy already there to welcome him (and UsefulNotes/BuzzAldrin, too).
134	[[/folder]]
135
136	[[folder:''The Calculus Affair'']]
137
138	* The Sticking Plaster RunningGag.
139	* Tintin and Haddock are chasing after a kidnapped Professor Calculus. A friendly Italian driver offers his help by [[DrivesLikeCrazy driving insanely quickly and dangerously after them]]. Then a policeman pulls them over:
140	-->'''Policeman:''' Are you insane? I'm writing you up for this! What's your name?\
141	'''Italian:''' [[OverlyLongName Arturo Benedetto Giovanni Giuseppe Pietro Archangelo Alfredo Cartoffoli da Milano]].\
142	'''Policeman:''' ''(sweating bullets)'' Er, just don't do it again, will you?\
143	''(The Italian zooms off)''\
144	'''Italian:''' Now we catch up on the time we missed!
145	[[/folder]]
146
147	[[folder:''Red Sea Sharks'']]
148	* Haddock's in the bath when the phone rings. He has the detachable shower head in his hand, and mistakenly puts it up to his ear instead.
149	* Castafiore comes to greet the rescued Tintin, Haddock and Skut. Haddock's (perfectly serious, slightly panicky) reaction: "Do we get back on the raft?", followed by this dialogue: "Ah, and Captain Padlock, er, Harrock" "[[RockAndRoll ...n'roll]], Signora Castoroili. Harrock'n'roll!" (the Captain wearing [[https://fr.tintin.com/images/tintin/persos/haddock/C18%2040%20C1.jpg what can only be described as a trollface]]).
150	* A very subtle one, but when Tintin, Haddock and Skut are stranded on a raft, Haddock use his sweater as a flag so a ship will notice them, when he put it back on, you'll notice that the anchor logo is on the back of his sweater instead of the front meaning that Haddock accidentaly inverted it.
151	* One moment has Müller in command of a military base, tasking some aeroplanes to eliminate the convoy Tintin and Haddock are travelling with. Müller then says that armored trucks are on their way, and reiterates that Tintin's convoy need to be wiped out. The pilot commander, [[TooDumbToLive who is kind of an idiot,]] [[PoorCommunicationKills orders his planes to eliminate the armored trucks.]] Müller congratulates the commander on his excellent job, then as soon as he hangs up, [[DoubleTake realises what has happened.]] [[ReassignedToAntarctica It can be assumed that the commander is dealt with.]]
152	* When what turns out to be a slave trader boards the ship (thinking Haddock is the regular captain), Haddock kicks him off the ship and continues yelling his trademark insults after him, until Tintin points out the slaver is out of hearing range. Haddock then gets a ''megaphone'' and continues to rain insults until definitely out of range.
153	* Haddock breaking the ''Ramona'''s [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_order_telegraph engine order telegraph]] and, after failing to fix it, trashing it in a fit of rage (and hurting his foot in the process).
154	** Worth noting is that instead of "full speed ahead," it gets jammed at "half speed astern," (aka. putting the ''Ramona'' [[HadTheSillyThingInReverse in reverse]]).
155	*** Even better – the sudden change of direction allows the ship to ''dodge a torpedo''.
156	** Later, after finally [[PercussiveTherapy smashing the E.O.T. to pieces with a hammer]], Haddock gets a CallBack to the aforementioned shower/phone incident when he tries to contact the engine room by the ship's intercom… only to hold the wrong instrument against his ear.
157	--->'''Haddock:''' (holding the hammer to his ear) "Hello? Engine room? Hello?"\
158	'''Engine room (through the receiver in the Captain's other hand):''' "Hello, effendi?"
159	* An underwater TimeBomb gets mishandled and is swallowed by a shark, which keeps hiccuping until it explodes, much to the confusion of everyone aboard all three vessels.
160
161	[[/folder]]
162
163	[[folder:''Tintin in Tibet'']]
164	* The Tibetan members of the team try to tell Haddock a story about how the Yeti once found a bottle of alcohol and drank it. Problem is, said alcohol happens to be named "Chang", just as Tintin's friend they are on a quest to find. As a result, Haddock is left wondering what the hell they are talking about as they tell him the Yeti "drank Chang".
165	* When Tintin has his premonition and [[TheScream screams]] "CHANG!", everyone in the room jumps - apart from the 'slightly hard of hearing in one ear' Professor Calculus.
166	* When the group's tent is blown away in ''Tintin in Tibet'', they hear the yeti roar, then a crunch, and next we see it squealing in pain, having run into (and denting) a boulder.
167	* [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/354717257731145729/720283322542063696/haddock_2.png Haddock's]] UnstoppableRage on seeing his whiskey bottle drained by the yeti.
168	** Also his reaction when he thinks Bianca Castafiore is in the next tent (it's actually the radio):
169	--->'''Haddock:''' Bianca Castafiore! She's HERE by thunder! That woman follows us to the ends of the Earth!
170	[[/folder]]
171
172	[[folder:''The Castafiore Emerald'']]
173	* ''So'' many Running Gags and Brick Jokes.
174	** The step never being fixed until the end ...whereupon it's completely destroyed again.
175	*** The builder shown as being lazy.
176	*** Everyone falls down the stairs at least once. Sometimes you see them sitting or lying on the ground, or other times they fall and just hold their back.
177	*** One particular time, Nestor goes to answer the door, slips on the step, but then jumps on one foot all the way down the stairs and slides to the door and doesn't fall. Doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
178	** "Helloooo! I can hear you!" ("Allo! J'écou-ou-oute!")
179	** "MERCY! MY JEWELS!" ("CIEL! MES BIJOUX!")
180	** "No, I'm sorry, this is not Cutts the Butcher!" ("Non, Monsieur/Madame, ce n'est pas la Boucherie Sanzot!")
181	* There's something hilarious about the ''Paris-Flash'' tabloid proclaiming the betrothal of Haddock and Castafiore. One of the photos shows Haddock scowling murderously at Iago the parrot, accompanied by the placid caption "He opens his heart to the parrot she gave him."
182	** Not to mention Captain Haddock getting all kinds of congratulatory missives from everyone from [[CallBack Captain Chester to Cutts the Butcher to Oliveira da Figueira]]. What takes the cake is when Thompson and Thomson ring him up to offer their best wishes. Haddock's reaction has to be read to be believed.
183	* The fact that Bianca is world-famous despite every on-panel character hating her singing, with one of the few exceptions being Professor Calculus, who's poor hearing means the shrillness of her voice is scaled down and he can actually hear the tones... Except not really! He knows she's a renowned artist, but doesn't really knows what kind of art she specializes in. He complements on her excellent ''paintings'' and is heavily implied to have a crush on her.
184	* After putting up with Iago imitating Bianca Castafiore he tells it to change the record after she's gone, whereupon it scares him by bellowing "BILLIONS OF BLUE BLISTERING BARNACLES, SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING!" in his face.
185	* The remarkably surreal scene where Calculus attempts to re-invent color television.
186	-->'''News broadcast:''' "At the 21st Taschist Party Congress in Szohôd, Marshal Kûrvi-Tasch, in an exceptionaally violent speech ''(Calculus tries to adjust the picture)'' DIGADOG DAGADIGADUG DOGODOGDOG DAGODAGODAGODUG DIGADIGDUG…"\
187	'''Calculus:''' That's better, isn't it?
188	* Haddock's nightmare deserves a mention. You can't possibly say that a parrot wearing a dress and singing opera doesn't make you laugh.
189	** Additionally, you'll notice Haddock in a front row seat, [[NotWearingPantsDream apparently naked]] while the rest of the audience (all birds) glares at him.
190	* At one point earlier in the story, an old Romani woman offers to tell Haddock his future, much to his irritation. As he is trying to politely refuse, she appears to notice something on his hand and screams in surprise, causing him to ask what it is:
191	-->'''Old Lady:''' [[CaptainObvious You bitten]].\
192	'''Haddock:''' [[DeadpanSnarker If that's the best you can tell me, then I too can predict your future.]]
193	* Haddock's various snarks while watching the Castafiore getting interviewed:
194	-->''(After she announces she'll be going to the United States soon)'' "Poor Americans. What have they done to deserve it?"
195
196	[[/folder]]
197
198	[[folder:''Flight 714 to Sydney'']]
199	* This exchange:
200	-->'''Haddock:''' But we ''are'' in Jakarta!\
201	'''Calculus:''' Really? I could have sworn we were in Jakarta...
202	* The TruthSerum-induced EvilerThanThou bit between Rastapopulous and Laszlo Carreidas. It was also even funnier in the animated adaptation, in which, after Haddock tapes their mouth shut, Laszlo starts chanting "''I'M'' the baddest, ''I'M'' the baddest..." and Rastapopulous bursts into tears. Tintin then says that this will make an interesting story. In the comic, when Tintin bursts in, thinking Carreidas is being tortured, he is greeted by Rastapopulous politely begging his arch-enemy to tell Carreidas that ''he's more evil than him''.
203	** Rastapopulous's VillainDecay is driven home in this book when he swears that he's going to crush Tintin and his friends "like this spider"...only for the spider to continually dodge his attempts to squish it.
204	*** "[[HumiliationConga What did I ever do to deserve this?]] [[BlatantLies Me, who'd never harm a fly!]] There's no justice!"
205	*** His pink cowboy outfit. Even Hergé remarked that after drawing Rastapopulous in it, he couldn't take him seriously anymore.
206	** Once the TruthSerum wears off and he regains his senses, Rastapopulous pretends to faint in order to slow Tintin and Haddock down. Haddock, however, solves the problem easily by snapping thorn off a nearby vine. One muffled cry of pain later, Rastapopulous is back on his feet with a grumpy expression and a sore rear end.
207	--->'''Haddock:''' ''(smirking)'' You see? A tiny little prick in a well chosen spot... And a guaranteed result!
208	** When the heroes and Carreidas are hiding inside a cave, Allan pulls the pin out of a grenade and prepares to throw it in, only to stop upon remembering [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou Rastapopulus wants Carreidas alive]]. He then hastily tosses the grenade as far away as he can. One explosion later, Allan assumes, [[TemptingFate "No more danger."]]
209	--->'''Rastapopulus:''' So which blinking idiot had the bright idea of chucking a grenade?!? ''(stomps up the slope, his cowboy outfit in tatters)'' I bet it's you, you fully fledged idiot! Dimwitted oaf! Perfect fool!
210	** Allan sees a proboscis monkey and laughs at its [[GagNose big nose]], then says that it reminds him of someone. That someone is Rastapopulous, [[OhCrap the person Allan was talking to.]]
211	* The ending to the animated adaptation, where the cast are being interviewed regarding the plane crash and the disappearance of half the crew (who were the villains of the story). Since they were all subjected to LaserGuidedAmnesia by the aliens who saved them, the only clue they have is a strange metal bolt Calculus had found in the volcano and left in his pocket, which tests revealed was made of an extremely advanced alloy not found on Earth. As the reporter concludes that the truth of what really happened may never be known, Snowy barks at the camera trying to reveal the truth, since he ''does'' know, the aliens not having bothered erasing his memories, but since no one can understand him, he whines and curls up in Tintin's arms like he's saying "Oh, what's the point?".
212
213	[[/folder]]
214
215	[[folder:''Tintin and the Picaros'']]
216	* A bit of BlackComedy at the end of Picaros, when Tintin gets the favor he asked of Alcazar for his help: That nobody, not Tapioca's troops, not his ministers, not even Tapioca, be shot. Made particularly hilarious by ''Tapioca'' begging that they spare him the horrible fate of being spared, and this is after Alcazar has personally apologized to Tapioca for ''not shooting him.'' He and Alcazar share a moment when they comment on these idealistic young people, what is the world coming to...
217	** Meanwhile, Tintin is persuading a very confused Colonel Sponsz to head back to Borduria, talking to Sponsz as if he were an old friend.
218	* In a conversation with Calculus, Tintin and Haddock repeatedly end sentences with words that sound like "sister", leading Calculus to get increasingly annoyed: "''And for heaven's sake would you stop talking about my sister!''" He then thinks for a moment and remembers that he doesn't ''have'' a sister, before storming off in a huff anyway.
219	* Captain Haddock has a [[{{Pun}} shocking]] encounter with an electric eel. Professor Calculus explains the situation to him:
220	-->'''Professor Calculus:''' Lucky for you it was only a lttile one. Big electric eels grow up to a couple of metres long and can stun a horse with a single discharge!\
221	'''Captain Haddock:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Well, lucky for me that I'm not a horse!]]
222
223	[[/folder]]
224
225	!!!From the radio dramas:
226	* Leo [=McKern=]'s deliciously hammy delivery of "MY WHISKEY IN SEPARATE PIECES?!" in ''Red Rackham's Treasure'' certainly counts.
227	* From ''Tintin in Tibet'':
228	-->'''Haddock:''' I'm ''not'' going [to Kathmandu]! And when I say "no", ''I mean "no"!''\
229	''[[GilliganCut Cut to]]:''\
230	'''Haddock:''' So. We're in Kathmandu.
231	* From ''The Seven Crystal Balls'', when Snowy starts howling during Bianca Castafiore's performance:
232	-->'''Audience member:''' Will you shut that dog up?!
233	-->'''Haddock:''' That is no way to talk about a lady, sir!
234	* From ''Secret of the Unicorn'':
235	-->'''Tintin''': What did you say the pickpocket's name was again?
