Funny / Four Weddings and a Funeral

• The opening montage of the film ends with Charles and Scarlett realising they've overslept, leaving them racing to get to the church, complete with much profanity. Neil Gaiman said once during an interview that when Richard Curtis was describing the screenplay to him: "I'm four pages in, and so far all anyone's said is 'fuck.'"
• It then emerges that not only is Charles the best man for this wedding, he's also forgotten to bring the rings, and has to turn to his friends for help. Scarlett's the only one wearing any jewellery, so the bride and groom end up wearing a giant plastic heart ring and a skull ring respectively.
• The priest in the second wedding, played in effortless form by Rowan Atkinson: "Awful wedded wife".
  • "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Goat".
  • The first time the priest tries to go through Bernard's many middle names he fluffs it up. When he has to say them again he simply waggles his head twice to represent Bernard's two middle names and jumps straight to the surname, much to Bernard's relief.
• Gareth believing that people get married when they run out of things to talk about.
• The old man Charles sits next to at the first wedding near the beginning of the film:
  Charles: How do you do, my name is Charles.
  Old Man: Don't be ridiculous! Charles died twenty years ago!
  Charles: Must be a different Charles, I think.
  Old Man: Are you telling me I don't know my own brother?!
• The general air of upper-class English foppishness among the men.
  Tom: Splendid, I thought. What did you think?
  Bernard: I thought, splendid! What did you think?
  Tom: Splendid, I thought.
  • James Fleet playing a prototype of Hugo.
• David and Charles take advantage of their communicating in sign language to be as rude as they like in public and so David can compliment Carrie's breasts right in front of her, forcing Charles into some Tactful Translation.
  • Beforehand when Charles arrives late for his rendezvous:
  David: You are no longer my brother, you're just some git I once met.
• On the evening after the first wedding, Charles and Carrie withdraw to the hotel but the latter skitters off behind the sofa at the entrance of George, the boor who read the lesson at the wedding. George promptly strongarms Charles into drinks and a chat. He opens with a gem:
  George: I was at school with (the groom's) brother Bufty - tremendous bloke. I was his fag^note In British all-boy public schools, a fag was a younger student who did small chores for an older boy. This could be anything from making his breakfast and polishing his shoes to sexual favours. By the end of the last century, fagging became obsolete but is used here for comic effect as it is still a common image of public schools - and George is old enough for fagging to have still been a thing in his schooldays. Buggered me senseless, but it taught me a thing or two about life.
  • Carrie manages to sneak to the room and arranges with the waiter to get Charles away.
  Waiter: Excuse me, sir. Your wife says can you come up upstairs at once - room 12, if you're not too drunk to remember.
  Charles: My wife?
  Waiter: (pointed look) Yes, sir.
  Charles: Oh, my wife!
• Some good-natured ribbing of the Americans who fly over to England:
  Fiona: Where's Gareth?
  Tom: Torturing Americans.
  Fiona: How thoughtful of him.
• Charles gets trapped in a hotel bedroom which the newlyweds burst into to have sex in, forcing him to hide in the bathroom and listen to it all.
• Charles asking for God's forgiveness before letting loose with a stream of curse words.
• Charles. David. Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace in sign language. Plus David ends by telling Charles "And by the way, your flies are undone."
• Charles and Tom's respective best man speeches. The first is full of witty jokes, and the second is embarrassingly stupid.
  Charles: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to drag you from your delicious desserts. There are just one or two little things I feel I should say, as best man. This is only the second time I've been a best man. I hope I did OK that time. The couple in question are at least still talking to me. Unfortunately, they're not actually talking to each other. The divorce came through a couple of months ago. But I'm assured it had absolutely nothing to do with me; apparently Paula knew Piers had slept with her sister before I mentioned it in the speech. The fact that he'd slept with her...mother came as a surprise, but I think was incidental to the nightmare of recrimination and...violence that became their two-day marriage.
• Charles sitting next to his ex-girlfriends at Wedding #2 provides some great Cringe Comedy as they recall the embarrassing things he told them about each other, sometimes without realising that the subjects of those stories are present.
• Scarlett comparing bonking to table tennis to a very young bridesmaid "only with slightly smaller balls".
