Funny / Ice Age

Go To

  • Manny's constant sarcasm in general.
  • When Sid tells Diego to step off, as the baby belongs to him and Manny. Diego's reaction, besides being funny, also doubles as a crowning moment of Deadpan Snarkery.
    Diego: That pink thing is mine.
    Sid: Actually, that pink thing belongs to us. (falls down the cliff wall)'
    Diego: "Us"? I see. Can't have one of your own, so you want to adopt.
    Manny: There is no "us"!
  • A couple of moments from Sid in the first film, namely:
    • "Hey, It's still green, they headed north two hours ago."
    • Fainting at the very end.
    • This little gem:
    Manny: Okay, you, check for poop.
    Sid: Hey, why am I the poop checker?!
    Sid: ...Why else?
    Manny: NOW, SID!
    • Sid bumping into Carl and Frank a second time.
    Sid: So, ladies, where were we?
    Frank: Carl?
    Carl: Easy, Frank. [growls]
  • Sid collapses from exhaustion on top of a geyser. Manny and Diego count down "3, 2, 1." It goes off.
    Manny: Sure is faithful.
  • Sid ice skating past Manny and Diego with the baby who are having trouble staying up on the ice and saying "Hiya Manny!" "Hiya Diego!" Cue him crashing into an ice wall with his head stuck in the ice wall and Manny and Diego walking by saying "Hey Sid."
  • "Where's the baby? THERE HE IS!" Cue a terrifying shot of Diego, teeth bared, claws out.
  • Sid and the baby's poke fight. Especially how Sid starts indulgent, but becomes more irate as the baby persists:
    Manny: Don't make me reach back there!
    Sid: Yeah, well, he started it!
    Manny: I don't care who started it, I'll finish it!
    • Diego's annoyed expression in this scene is priceless.
  • During the migration sequence at the beginning, we get this uproarious moment featuring glyptodonts:
    Female Glyptodont #1: So, where's Eddie?
    Female Glyptodont #2: Ah, he said something about "being on the verge of an evolutionary breakthrough."
    Female Glyptodont #1: Really?
    Eddie: [jumps off a cliff] Oh, I'M FLYING!!! *THUD*
    Female Glyptodont #1: Some breakthrough.
  • Manny while the trio passes Stonehenge: "Modern architecture. It'll never last."
  • When they come across the shortcut, what is Sid's reaction? "No thanks. I choose life."
    Sid: (Becomes suspicious) Are you threatening me?
    Diego: MOVE, SLOTH! (voice echoes, causing an avalanche)
    Sid: (Patting Diego) Way to go, tiger!
  • Sid getting his tongue stuck on ice.
    • His reaction after he gets his tongue free from the ice.
    Sid: Uh, guys?
  • The entire scene where the gang comes across the Dodo birds.
    Crazy Dodo: BAKAK! INTRUDERS! (sprints around like a lunatic)
    Leader Dodo: (lecturing about a smoking crater) Now, don't fall in. If you do, you will definitely--
    Crazy Dodo: (sprints in, not paying attention to where he's going) INTRUDERS! INTRU—WAAAAAAH! (trips and falls into crater; a sizzling sound is heard)
    Dodo Students: EEEEWWWW! OHHH!
    Leader Dodo: ...burn and die.
    • When Manny, Sid and Diego ask the dodos to give them the melon, they refuse:
    Leader Dodo: This is our private stockpile for the Ice Age! Sub-arctic temperatures will force us underground for a billion, billion years!
    Manny: (flatly) So you got three melons?
    [Beat as the other Dodos look back at the pile before turning back to face Manny]
    Leader Dodo: If you weren't smart enough to plan ahead, then doom on you!
    Other dodos: (chanting softly as they advance on Manny) Doom on you... Doom on you... Doom on you... Doom on you...
    Manny: (more annoyed than anything) Get away from me!
    • "Oh no! Retrieve the melon! Tae kwon dodos, ATTACK!"
    • The first melon is tossed from dodo to dodo - and the last one chucks it straight off a cliff.
    • "There goes our last female."
    • "IGOTITIGOTITIGOTITIGOTIT—Don't got it."
    • "(gasp) THE LAST MELON!"
      • Given the hungry looks in their eyes and the licking of their beak, they were likely about to forgo the food storage and just try and eat it then and there.
    • The response to Sid breaking the melon open like he's scoring a touchdown? "Argh, Sid! Now we gotta find more food!"
    • "Hey, look at that, dinner and a show."
  • Immediately after the scene with the dodos:
    Sid: (in a bad British accent) Now to find a meal befitting a conquering HERO! (tries to walk by a tree, only for the branch to knock him to the ground) What ho? A foe? (gets up) Come on, come on, you want a piece of me?! (does a karate yell and pose, then reaches into the tree... and pulls out an acorn) Spoils, worthy of such a noble... (as he says this, he sticks the acorn in his mouth, as we hear Scrat screaming. Scrat then tackles Sid and wrestles the acorn out of his mouth)
  • "We'll see if brain triumphs over brawn tonight, now won't we?" Followed immediately by a Gilligan Cut to a pathetic-looking Sid attempting to make fire in a thunderstorm.
  • The dialogue right before the volcano sequence:
    Diego: Do we have to get a news flash every time your body does something?
    Manny: He's doing it for attention — just ignore him.
    • Then when they hear the rumbling from the volcano...
      Manny: Tell me that was your stomach.
      Sid: I'm sure it was just thunder. From... under... ground?
    • And while the bridge is getting smaller under their feet...
    Sid: Come on, keep up with me!
    (camera pans out to reveal Sid's only running in place)
    Manny: I WOULD IF YOU WERE MOVING!
    (Diego leaps across the huge gap of lava.)
    Sid: Wow, I wish I could jump like that.
    Manny: Wish granted! [punts Sid across the bridge]
  • The ice slide scene The whole thing.
  • When Manny wakes up to feel that the baby is not in his trunk and he stomps on the ground, waking Diego up with a start.
    Manny: Where's the baby?!
    Both: SID!
    • Manny is NOT pleased once he finds Sid using the baby to pickup the female sloths. It doesn’t help that Sid unknowingly uses his trunk to wipe off some mud.
    Manny: What’s the matter with you?! (takes the baby away)
  • Sid trying to get comfortable while sleeping the ground, and trying so many positions that an annoyed Manny shouts, "WILL YOU STOP IT?!"
  • When Diego claims that he was planning on returning the kid to his herd...
    Sid: Oh, yeah! Nice try, Buck-Tooth!
    Diego: (threateningly) You calling me a liar?!
    Sid: I didn't say that!
    Diego: You were thinking it!
    Sid: (whispering to Manny) I don't like this cat. He reads minds.
  • When the trio comes across Scrat on their journey (who himself was also on a quest, though to bury his prized nut), they ask him which way the humans went. Due to him being The Voiceless, Scrat responds by making various motions, leading to Sid and Manny doing some Wild Mass Guessing...
    Sid: Oh, I love this game, I love this game! Okay, okay... (Scrat holds up three fingers) Three words. First word. (Scrat stomps his foot) Uh, stomp! (Scrat jumps around) No, no! Stamp, stamp!
    Manny: Let me try. (Scrat puts his acorn on his back) Uh, pack!
    Sid: Good one, Manny. (Scrat acts like a saber-tooth cat) Pack of... long teeth and claws. (Diego looks at his claws nervously) Pack of wolves? Pack of...
    Manny: Pack of bears? Pack of fleas?
    (Scrat angrily points at Diego - the correct answer was "pack of tigers")
    Sid: Pack of whiskers? Pack of noses?
    Manny: Uh, pachyderm!
    Sid: Pack of lies, pack of troubles, pack a wallop... (Diego flicks Scrat away) Pack of birds! Pack of flying fish!
  • While the gang decides to stay for the night due to the heavy blizzard, Sid is calmly drawing on the cave wall.
    Diego: What are you doing?
    (Sid is drawing on a rock wall with a piece of chalk.)
    Sid: I'm putting sloths on the map.
    Manny: Why don't you make it realistic and draw him lying down?
    Diego: And make him rounder.
    (Manny grabs the chalk from Sid and draws a huge belly on the drawing of the sloth.)
    Sid: (annoyed) Haha, I forgot how to laugh. (Sid snatches the chalk back and scribbles furiously all over the drawing, sending sparks flying off into a small pile of sticks, which catch fire, to everyone's surprise.) I'm a genius! (kisses chalk)
    • And there's the moment where Sid inadvertently creates a fire from his drawing a sloth on a rock.
    Sid: From now on, you'll have to refer as "Sid, Lord of the Flame"!
    Manny: Hey, Lord of the Flame, your tail's on fire.
    (Sid notices and runs around, screaming. But Diego grabs him and throws him into a snowbank, putting out the fire)
    Sid: Thank you. From now on, I'm gonna call you "Diego—"
    Diego: "Lord of Touch-Me-and-You're-Dead". (Sid is shocked) Nah, I'm just kiddin', you little knucklehead! (he grabs Sid and gives him a noogie)

  • A cut scene where Sid asks the female sloths in the mud pool if they want to "jump in the gene pool". No explanation needed why they cut it.
    Sid: Come on, don't you have needs? Just give me 20 minutes.
    Manny: Like you'd last five.
    Sid: Fine, five.
    Manny: Three.
    Sid: Deal!
