History Funny / Brave

** After firing the wayward shot, Merida deadpans "I missed" in the same "I did a bad thing" tone one might expect from such a child.

-->'''Merida''' ''(locked behind a door to which Maudie has the key in hand)'': Get the key.\\
'''Triplets''': ''(turn to Maudie)''\\

* The entire archery scene, especially when Young Dingwall wins totally by accident. Before being cut off, Fergus starts teasing Merida about having "Dingwall" as her new name.

'''Maudie''': ''(utilizes VictoriasSecretCompartment with a [[OhCrap none-too-eager]] expression)''
'''Triplets''': (Growl and make “scary faces”)
'''Maudie''': (Runs away screaming)

** There's also his telling the three Lords to "Show a little ''decorum!'' And no more fighting!" The last phrase you'd expect to hear from a Scottish Lord in that time period.

[[caption-width-right:350:"Feast yer eyes!"]]

* Maudie the maid. It's a wonder she didn't have a heart attack and drop dead after all the wacky hell she goes through in this film.

** The scene where Merida and Fergus are falconing. Merida takes the hood off of her hawk, only for it to promptly attack her dad's face--along with Fergus's own hawk.

-->'''Fergus:''' Pretend I'm Merida. Speak to me. What would you say?
-->'''Elinor:''' I can't do this!
-->'''Fergus:''' Sure you can!
-->'''Elinor:''' ''(gives him a hard look)''
-->'''Fergus:''' There! There! That's my queen! Right, here we go. ''(takes a deep breath... and speaks in a high-pitched voice)'' I don't want to get married! I want to stay single and let my hair flow in the wind as I ride through the glen, firing arrows into the sunset!

** He gets another great expression not too long into the scene when Elinor admits to her own reservations about her marriage, his face just screams a mixture of "What?!" and "I don't think I was supposed to hear that!"

--> '''Merida''': B-B-BEEEAAAAARR!
--> '''Elinor''': ''(makes a confused sound as if to say, "Bear?", then turns and sees the shadow of a bear on a wall but doesn't realize it's her own and freaks out)''

-->'''Merida''': You're ''covered'' with ''FUR''! You're not naked! It's not like anyone is gonna ''see'' you!
-->''(Both slowly turn to see Maudie standing there watching her talk to a bear. Elinor gives a nervous wave)''
-->'''[[ScreamingWoman Maudie]]''': AHHHHHHH!!!
** This leads to a BrickJoke at the end of the movie--since, in the form of a bear, Elinor [[spoiler:and her sons (more on the triplets turning into bears below)]] have no need for clothes. However, once Elinor is returned to her human form, Merida realizes that her mom [[NakedPeopleAreFunny isn't wearing anything under the tapestry and points this out to her.]] When Elinor tells Fergus of this, he stares at her until she tells him to knock it off. And then when Fergus takes notice of the clan leaders staring at Elinor, he calls them out for ogling his wife, they nervously turn around. And then Harris, Hamish and Hubert run up to their parents and sister [[{{Pun}} totally bare]].

* When the triplets see Elinor as a bear, Merida has to [[FoodAsBribe bribe them with desserts]] to get them to help her and Elinor sneak out of the castle. Therefore, when the triplets [[spoiler:are transformed into bears ''themselves'']], Merida's blunt order and their subsequent ''obedience'' of that order can bust a gut.

* The entire sequence in which Fergus and everyone in the castle chasing what appears to be a bear shadow when actually it's that of a plucked chicken, due to the triplets [[spoiler: helping Merida and Elinor get out the castle]] as a bag-pipe rendition of ''Song of Mor'du'' plays in the background.

** When Dingwall says about the door, "I propped it open with a stick!" ... but then we pan to two of the triplets dropping said stick down the staircase.

* When the triplets are [[spoiler:transformed into bear cubs]], Merida's initial reaction is simply a mildly annoyed "Oh, no."
* ''Everything'' the triplets do. '''EVERYTHING'''. Gets taken up to eleven [[spoiler:when they all get turned into bear cubs, and take full and complete advantage of their new forms.]]

* The three Lords and Fergus [[ManChild acting like complete children]] for most of the film. By the time [[spoiler: Merida and her mom are sneaking back into the Castle]], they've divided the dining hall into four forts.

** [[spoiler:The bit at the end with her ending up with the fearsome, scarred-up warrior, who is clearly entirely enchanted with her (which also counts as a heartwarming moment).]]

* TheStinger--earlier in the film, Merida bought every single carving (so the witch would accept her offer of a spell). At the end, a guard wakes up to find the witch's familiar, [[BrickJoke and a cart carrying said carvings.]]

** Every time Merida says that she's a witch, the witch yells, [[InsistentTerminology "WOOD CARVER!"]] Then, she gets so carried away that she yells that as a response to ''everything'' Merida says, even if she didn't mention the old woman's profession.
** "It's impossible to imbue wood with magical properties! I should know, I'm a [[LastSecondWordSwap Whhhhiiiiiiitler]]--a whittler! Of wood!"

** When the witch tells Merida that if she's not going to buy anything then she should leave, ''all'' of the witch's carpentry tools fly over to Merida and stop inches from her face, pointing at her threateningly. Merida then says she'll buy everything, and the carpentry tools wheel around in mid-air and point threateningly at the witch instead.
** The way Merida screams, "YOU'RE A WITCH!". Just that dawning realization in her voice.
** When Merida sees [[TalkingAnimal the crow]] and backs away screaming, "[[YouCanTalk The crow's TALKING]]!", she hits her head on one of the beams in the ceiling.
** When the witch is working on her spell she tells Merida that “The last time I did this was for a prince.” And her familiar chips in with “Easy on the eyes! Tight pants!”

** When she says, "She does nae doodle," and it's a drawing of Elinor holding up the picture.

** Elinor chiding Merida for putting her weapon on the table.
