History Funny / Galavant

* Richard racing back to Roberta... and getting a speeding ticket. On a horse.

** And before that, Richard gets pulled over by an officer on a horse for galloping too fast, and then gets offended by how much the speeding ticket is charging.

** King Richard tries to impress Madalena and the Valencians with stand-up comedy. Of course, [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} him]] being [[SoUnfunnyItsFunny him]], nobody is even remotely amused, until he smashes a cake on Gareth's face. Everybody laughs and Richard incites people to hand him another one. Cue Gareth [[ImpliedDeathThreat slowly unsheathing his sword]] in the background.

* During a fight with a few dozen mercenaries, Richard realizes that the girl who joined them in their quest is his old ChildhoodFriend Roberta. [[CasualDangerDialogue He chats with Galavant about this as Galavant is fighting]], interrupted only by a thrown knife that Galavant barely catches before it gets Richard between the eyes.
-->'''Richard:''' ...we'll talk later.

'''Gareth:''' Shut up, [[Creator/AlanMenken Menken]].

-->'''Gareth:''' Way to blow it, you ''prat''.

--> '''Pirate Captain:''' We're going to kill you if you sing the freaking song...\\

-->'''Galavant:''' A pirate died!\\

-->'''Galavant:''' You know, I've never been to one of these places before.\\

-->'''Galavant:''' Goodbye bear!\\

--> '''Chef:''' ''One'' daughter. The rest we leave to the [[Series/GameOfThrones White Walkers]].

-->'''Richard:''' Uncle Keith!\\

--> '''Chef:''' You never handed me the ''(BLEEP)'' amulet.

--> '''Madalena:''' I like drinking Vino, preferably Pinot. \\

-->'''Galavant:''' I don’t even understand how it got in here!

** [[Creator/KylieMinogue The Queen of the Enchanted Forest]] cutting loose with an [[https://youtu.be/bGVQsRo9p4g epic disco number]] devoted to EatingTheEyeCandy is both [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic awesome]] and hilarious.

* *A couple seconds later, Galavant clarifies that he's on quest to rescue his imprisoned girlfriend (cue groans, "Yeah, SHE is waiting for me,") and thanks the patrons for not having fed them to [[TheBear the "bear"]].

* Gareth's song "Love Makes the World Brand New," where he has no idea how to express the TastesLikeDiabetes feelings his love for Madelena inspires and has to resort to bizarre BuffySpeak on every single line. It's also done in the style of an old Disney Sing Along Song.

** The second duet love duet between Chef and Gwynne, where they cheerfully conspire to poison the royals in order to ensure their own happy ending.

* In the teaser of the first song for season 2, at the end of the song Sid (potentially) spoils what will happen at the end of the season and everyone calls him out.

* The name for the Season 2 Premiere? "A New Season aka [[TakeThatCritics Suck It Cancellation Bear]]". [[note]] TV by the Numbers, a website that post ratings, stated that the renewal for Season 2 was extremely unlikely, due to an extreme drop in ratings late in the first season.[[/note]]
* The intro to the first episode of season two is comedy gold. It involves Richard whining about how he wants Galavant to sing him his theme song (and then he'll shut up--complete with him miming "cross my heart and hope to die"), and sing it ''properly''. Then it segues into the pirates singing about how although the song is an {{earworm}}, they're utterly sick of it (apparently it drove four pirates to [[DrivenToSuicide walk the plank]])!

** The song then proceeds to give an overview of the season (including "new guests who'll cost the network a fortune") and does a brief catch-up with each cast member, with highlights including Steve the Jester saying the new season will be "totally bitchin'", then immediately following that with Gwynne and Chef having "new fleas in our new clothes/and new cheese in our cutting edge kitchen" and a series of nods to other network shows. The song culminates in a chorus line, which can also be amusing when you see Isabella's kicks hampered by leg irons and the Jester towering over everyone else (he's played by the 6'5" Ben Presley, the tallest actor in the show).
* Richard telling Galavant where the "safest place to make land" is, and that he's never been more sure of anything in his life. Cue GilliganCut to the pirate ship utterly destroyed, and Richard, almost amused, saying, "Wow, I did ''not'' know what I was talking about! Not even a little," while Galavant gives him an ''epic'' DeathGlare.

* Richard finds the "Enchanted Forest" a [[GayBarReveal pretty nice pub]]. Galavant, is definitely less oblivious.

* A couple seconds later, Galavant clarifies that he's on quest to rescue his imprisoned girlfriend (cue groans, "Yeah, SHE is waiting for me,") and thanks the patrons for not having fed them to [[TheBear the "bear"]].

* Gwynne talking about how progressive Chef is--for the middle ages. He's okay with them keeping a daughter, instead of throwing all of them out at birth.

* The whole exchange between Richard and "uncle" Keith inside the "Enchanted Forest" pub, especially since Richard still doesn't realize where he is.

* Madalena's solution to a ridiculously-minor dispute--two farmers arguing over who owns a chicken that hatched right on the boundary between their properties--is resolved by her eating the chicken for lunch and [[ForcedToWatch making the farmers watch]]. It confuses the hell out of them, and when they start arguing again LikeAnOldMarriedCouple, Madalena snaps, "''This!'' This is why I'm making you watch!"
* The song "World's Best Kiss", which in any other musical would be all about how beautiful the kiss was, slowly devolves into a realization that said kiss was probably not as perfect as they remembered.
* And the next morning, Chef is revealed to have been standing around this whole time as the song was going on and after Isabella went to bed. The reason?

* Sid's reaction to Gareth bursting in on him in the bath: "Oi, gorilla! Make a fist, pound the door! ''It's called knocking!''"
* Richard being constantly pestered by a unicorn that can sense his virginity. He eventually picks up a sword and threatens to make it a "none-icorn."
* This whole exchange during "Let's Agree to Disagree":

* Richard's song about what he'd do now he's not king, mostly because of his complete ignorance at what the other jobs he sings about entail and his use of BuffySpeak in the first verse. Even better, the penultimate line has him contemplating other jobs which aren't sung about, one of which is ''wet nurse''

* Much to Galavant's chagrin, Richard had traded the Jewel of Valencia, which was meant to be offered for an army, for a lizard that he thinks is a dragon and affectionately calls Tad Cooper.
** Not to mention the hysterical tune he sings about their friendship, "My Dragon Pal and Me."
** And made so much better by Richard being technically right: it's a species called a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogona bearded dragon]].

-->'''Galavant:''' I don’t even understand how it got in here!”

** The ''entire'' jousting scene. To say that it was an AntiClimax would be putting it lightly; first, having been drugged by Isabella the night before, Sir Jean Hamme comes stumbling out of his tent and immediately [[VomitIndiscretionShot pukes through his visor]]. Galavant then comes riding out, looking tall and proud, but it turns out he trained so hard the previous day that he can't move, and had to sleep on his horse. Then for the actual joust, both knights haphazardly hold their lances... and their horses simply start walking toward each other. They meet in the middle and both immediately fall off of their horses in the most undignified way possible. The ref then declares that the first man to his feet will be the winner. And then the horses both wander off at the same time.
** "Maybe You're Not the Worst Thing Ever," the song between Isabella & Galavant and Madalena & Richard, which is set up to sound like a love song... except the refrain is ''literally'' "[[DamnedByFaintPraise You might not be the worst thing ever]]." Some of the lines between Madalena and Richard are particularly hilarious: "And though there's something scary behind your cold, dead eyes..." (...) "Maybe you're not the worst thing ever."

** This GettingCrapPastTheRadar bit at his birthday party in the castle:

** Galavant's [[TheRival rival]], Sir Jean Hamme (played by Creator/JohnStamos of all people!), and much of their rivalry is just Hamme doling out YourMom jokes at Galavant. Hilarious in a stupid way.
-->'''Galavant:''' You know what, Jean; it's 1256. The YourMom jokes; [[TakeThat they're really getting old]].

Some lines between Madalena and Richard are particularly hilarious: "And though there's something scary behind your cold, dead eyes" ... "maybe you're not the worst thing ever."

** The ball King Richard tries to throw for Valencia, from Richard having the remaining crops set ablaze (which he immediately realizes was a horrible idea), to the dancing with music by the executioners.

** "Togetherness," a.k.a. the traveling song that Sid, Galavant, and Isabella all sing together at the beginning of the episode. It starts off happy and carefree with three friends happily looking forward to traveling together, but it slowly becomes darker and angrier as the trio start to get on each others' nerves, including openly plotting to kill each other.
** The land pirates do a lot of things, like pillaging, robbing, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking selling homemade organic desserts through sustainable gardening practices]].
*** Every single time the pirates' song "Lords of the Sea" brings up the sea, the captain pops into frame to remind everyone that they're actually stuck on land.

--->'''Isabella:''' I didn't think they'd look there! They must have ''sisters!''
*** Speaking of the priceless jewel, what follows right after is just hilarious.
--->'''Peter:''' ''[pulls out the priceless jewel]'' Well, what do we have here?\\
'''Pirate:''' [[CaptainObvious It's a jewel.]]\\
'''Peter:''' I know it's a je-- Y'know what? You're having a time out. Go to your tent. And don't give me that look!

--->'''Galavant:''' Can't we just have a ''normal'' adventure?\\

*** The group's initial reaction is hilarious:
--->'''Galavant:''' Backstory, please?\\

** After sharing their LoveConfession song "Love is Strange" where they describe what they don't like about the other, Isabella believes that they're gonna die in prison. Galavant has another opinion, which ''technically'' may apply to everyone.
--> '''Isabella:''' Our stars have finally aligned on the same day I'm going to die.\\

* The introduction song. The first correction of Richard's "proposal" is ''very'' uncomfortable seeing as it's King Richard yelling at a genuinely frightened Madalena, but the second correction veers straight into ridiculousness when a henchman just throws Madalena over his shoulder.
* At one point, Galavant licks his ''gloved'' finger, holds it up, and after a moment of ''dead serious'' contemplation says: "It's getting dark."
* Richard's song in the first episode, which starts with him talking cheerily about what he'd like to do to Galavant and then culminates in what he could do once he's killed Galavant, including starting a genocidal war. Special mention goes to the chorus, who do a DoubleTake on the "Genocidal war" bit.
* Episode two has Galavant's [[TheRival rival]], Sir Jean Hamme (played by Creator/JohnStamos of all people!), and much of their rivalry is just Hamme doling out YourMom jokes at Galavant. Hilarious in a stupid way.
-->'''Galavant:''' You know what, Jean; it's 1256. The YourMom jokes; they're really getting old.
** The entire joust scene. First, having been drugged by Isabella the night before, Sir Jean Hamme comes stumbling out of his tent and immediately [[VomitIndiscretionShot pukes through his visor]]. Galavant then comes riding out, looking tall and proud, but it turns out he trained so hard the previous day he can't move, and had to sleep on his horse.

They meet in the middle and both immediately fall off of their horses in the most undignified way possible. The ref then declares that the first man to his feet will be the winner. And then the horses both wander off at the same time.
* On the way to Valencia, the group comes across a road sign pointing towards their destination, as well as [[Series/GameOfThrones Winterfell]] in the opposite direction and Hell straight below them.
* Isabella pointing out their money problems--they have a priceless jewel that [[{{Macguffin}} they can't sell]] and a six-foot-tall hero [[BlackComedyCannibalism they can't eat]].
* "Oh holy ***! I’m out of shape! My tummy hurts! That was a long song!"
* A weeping Richard running to Gareth and asking for a hug after Madalena rejects him only for Gareth to reflexively crush Richard.
* "I am Mr. Butch. Oh, poop! I got gravy on my tummy flowers!"
* The ball King Richard tries to throw for Valencia, from Richard having the remaining crops set ablaze, which he then realizes was a horrible idea, to the dancing with music by the executioners.
* The travel song Sid, Galavant, and Isabella sing in the fourth episode starts off happy and carefree with three friends happily looking forward to traveling together, but slowly becomes darker and angrier as the trio start to get on each others nerves, including openly plotting to kill each other.
* The land pirates do a lot of things, like pillage, rob, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking sell homemade organic desserts]].
** Every single time the song brings up the sea, the captain pops into frame to remind us they're actually stuck on land.
** The pirates' odd fixation on Isabella's "girl supplies".
*** Which Isabella didn't forsee, and so she hid the priceless jewel she's carrying around in her purse.
---->'''Isabella:''' I didn't think they'd look there! They must have sisters!

Everybody laughs and Richard incites people to hand him another one. Cue Gareth [[ImpliedDeathThreat slowly unsheathing his sword]] in the background.
* Isabella's parents admitting their SanitySlippage with their year-long imprisonment getting them to play along with Richard's jokes. "We've lost all sense of perspective."
* After the group finally arrives in Valencia, Isabella suggests they take a moment to rest in an abbey. The door opens, and the monks shows their [[ACappella personal take]] on silence vows. Judging by his [[FreezeFrameBonus blink-and-you'll-miss-it]] [[JawDrop reaction]], Galavant wasn't expecting [[http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2015/01/Galavant-WeirdAl-Blog.jpg THAT!]] [[note]]Can't really blame him, who would expect 'Weird' Al Yankovic to casually pop out singing about holy wines?[[/note]]
--> '''Galavant:''' Can't we just have a normal adventure?
** Sid is clearly having the time of his life listening to the singing monks and whenever he's in the background he has a huge grin on his face.
** The group's initial reaction is hilarious:

'''Isabella:''' [cheerily] Valencian monks all take an oath of singing!\\

** The end of the song culminates in "jazz hands."
* "Where do you think they're keeping your parents?"
-->"MAYBE they're up your BUTT!"
** It gets funnier shortly after that when Richard attempts his [[BadassBoast "Well, well, well..."]] bit and fails.
* Chef and Gwynne's love duet, which invokes ''every single cliché'' associated with TheDungAges (of the many children they will have, one might actually live; but with a life expectancy of 32, at least they won't have to live that long, right?).
** And their second duet, where they cheerfully conspire to poison the royals in order to ensure their own happy ending.
* After sharing a [[LoveConfession love confession song]] where they describe what they don't like about the other, Isabella believes they're gonna die in prison. Galavant has another opinion, which TECHNICALLY may apply to everyone.

'''Galavant:''' ''[pointing to a prone figure]'' ...you might already be dead!
** Then Gal and the gang realize that their cell doors had been unlocked the entire time.
** Before that Isabella and Galavant's arguing cause the Jester to beg for the torture to stop. Gareth throws down the blade he was sharpening and in irritation replies that he hadn't even started yet. The jester replies that he thought that was part of the torture.
* Galavant constantly getting interrupted as he tries to sing that his moment's arrived. And only to realize he doesn't have much of a song to sing. Only two lines, really.
* Galavant and Richard's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLrpb8Z--fs "Secret Mission" song]]. WithCatlikeTread indeed.
** Especially when they sneak behind some guards: there's a GilliganCut from them saying they have to be quiet to the sneaking, with the song actually pausing for a moment, and then they start singing again.
** Not to mention that it's been pretty well established that everyone knows what you're singing, and they are running around the entire castle singing about a murder plot.
** Also of special mention is the bit where they end up in the prison during the song. Keep in mind by this point, Galavant has had quite a few drinks. Hilarity and InVinoVeritas ensue.
* The song between Isabella and Galavant, and Madalena and Richard, which is set up to be kind of like a love song, except the refrain is: "you might not be the worst thing ever." Some lines between Madalena and Richard are particularly funny: "And though there's something scary behind your cold, dead eyes" ... "maybe you're not the worst thing ever."
* Madalena's threatened DisproportionateRetribution to one of the feast guests: "IF YOU TAKE THAT LAST DANISH, I WILL REACH DOWN YOUR THROAT, PULL IT OUT, AND BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH IT." Right in the middle of Galavant ''trying'' to say that he saw something good in her.
* Gareth asks that the prisoners knock him out to make it seem as if he wasn't responsible for their escape. Everyone gives it a go, but Gareth [[{{NoSell}} doesn't even flinch]]. Extra funny is how Gwynn tries many ''many'' times, and only succeeds in wearing herself out. Eventually he just throws them the keys and tells them to get out.
** [[FunnyBackgroundEvent If you look at Vincenzio in the background]], he looks rather [[AmazonChaser awestruck]] when Gwynn continues punching.

* The "Random backflip!" line (and accompanying random backflip) during the song about Galavant's dad.
