Funny / Frankenweenie

• The thought of Tim Burton remaking a short film of his for the same company he got fired from for it being "too scary for family viewers."
• It makes sense that Toshiaki's pet would turn into a giant Godzilla-like monster.
• The exchange that happens when Victor discovers the Sea monkeys and Shelly.
  Toshaki: Victor! I need your help!
  Bob: Hey! I asked him first!
  Toshaki: My problem bigger (Points to Godzilla-esqe undead turtle)
  Bob: (Staring in horror) yeah. He's right.
• Nassor standing outside of a huge mausoleum saying "Rise, Colossus. Rise from your tomb!" while this huge shadow appears along the inside wall, stomping menacingly towards the doors. It's a normal-sized hamster.
• Shelley vs. Colossus.
• Weird Girl explaining the omen to Victor she received from Mr. Whiskers' littler box. The last one being Nassor:
  "And Nassor the day he got knocked unconscious."
  *Cue Nassor getting hit by a baseball*
• Mr. Rzykruski's line to the townspeople.
  Mr. Rzykruski: You are all ignorant! ... Ignorant? Is that the right word? I mean stupid!
• In a gag that seems straight out of The Addams Family, Edgar goes to a pet store and stares into an aquarium. He asks for a fish, and when the owner asks which one, he points... at a dead fish slowly sinks into view.
• When Elsa is preparing the song for Dutch day, Victor hides behind the fence with Sparky. This exchange happens.
  Elsa: Did you get a new dog?
  Victor: No.
  Elsa: I heard a bark.
  Victor: Yeah, that was...me.
  Elsa: You...are barking?
  (Sparky howls. Victor covers his mouth and imitates the howl.)
• When Mr. Burgermeister tells Elsa many girls would kill to be in her place as the Little Dutch Girl, she says "I'd welcome death" just audibly enough for everyone to hear.
  • Also during that scene, Elsa believes that having a hat with drippy candles on is unsafe, but her father reassures her that they have the fire chief nearby. Said fire chief is sprawling lazily against the wall and has an "out of it" expression on his face. He also has a strong resemblance to Freddy Krueger - who died in a fire.
• One of the parents believes that Science Is Bad because when he was a little boy, Pluto was a planet, and now it's not because according to him, "some bozo came along and rewrote the rules!".
  Mrs. Frankenstein: "In fairness, he didn't write the textbook."
• Mr. Ryzkruzki's dramatization of how lightning works. He describes the ground as the Land of Opportunity, claims that the electrons are building a ladder, that lightning happens because the electrons are mad that something or, in the previous teacher's case, somebody is in the way, and dramatically points at the students while saying, "The ground says, 'Yes, we need electrons trained in science just like you'!!" He also points out that lightning doesn't hit a person like a baseball or a cabbage.
• As a Running Gag, whenever Victor's mother asks how his day at school was, Victor always gives short and nondescriptive answers before running off to do his own thing, something many kids and parents can relate to.
