Funny / Kingdom Hearts: The Antipode

• Sora's tendency to pout when teased. Riku likens him to a puppy.
  • In the ending of The Year Between, Riku teases Kairi by saying she's scarier than Sora, then waits for the latter to puff up his cheeks and flail his arms. It took less than a second.
    • Sora responds with a written note that says "You big jerk." Riku responds with this:
      I thought you'd take that as a compliment. All that worrying over your looks, and you're the same shrimp I remember.
  • Phil tells Sora that he's scrawnier than he expected. Sora responds initially by opening his mouth and lifting a claw to say something, then pounding the ground with his fist and arching his back like a grumpy cat.
• Riku dissing the Queen of Hearts.
  The way I see it, you're just a fat, bad-tempered old tyrant and-
• Prior to arriving in Atlantica, Riku and Goofy fight over what music to play on the radio, causing it to explode in Donald's face.
• The Genie's reaction to meeting Sora.
  Great Scott! You're not Al!
• Riku launching a hurricane of insults at Captain Hook prior to their battle.
  Riku: The Keyblade can't be used by just anyone. Why should I hand it over to a geezer like you?
  Captain Hook: What did you call me? Why, you filthy, little codfish!
  Riku: Takes one to know one, old man. I bet that hair of yours is just a wig to hide your balding head. (...) And, man, you call yourself a pirate? I'm pretty sure real pirates don't wear frilly clothing.
• Captain Hook's defeat, harking back to the animated film.
  Captain Hook: You wouldn't do old Hook in, would you, lad? I'll go away forever! I'll do anything you say!
  Peter Pan: Well… All right. If you… say you're a codfish!
  Captain Hook: I'm... a codfish.
  Riku: What was that? Sorry, Captain. Couldn't hear you!
  Donald Duck: Yeah, you've gotta say it louder, so we can all hear it.
  Captain Hook: I'M A CODFISH!
• Ringabel is a frequent source of humour.
  • He flirts with Aqua upon meeting her, who reacts with an extremely flustered Luminescent Blush.
    Ringabel: But, miss, I know all the women here, and I'd never forget someone as beautiful as you! Why, you're like a shining sapphire of the sea.
    Aqua: [Puts her hands up while shaking her head and blushing] I-I'm really flattered, but I—
  • "Oh, Tiz! Don't mind me. I was just…flailing fabulously on the furniture. Pent-up magnificence isn’t healthy, you know."
• Timon and Pumbaa share this exchange with Mushu; a waiter in a Traverse Town restaurant.
  Timon: Look, lizard; how much do ya want for that little cricket there? Me and Pumbaa are starving!
  Mushu: Lizard?! Haven't you ever seen a dragon before? And forget about the cricket, man! If you're so hungry, quit eyeballing my friend and sit down like everybody else.
  Pumbaa: Aww… But they don't serve bugs here!
  Mushu: Sure they do! Why, just the other day, there was a whole colony of ants here. You couldn't take one step without bumping into one of their brothers or cousins. And forget finding a table!
• Upon meeting DiZ, Sora (who's mute), pokes his tongue out at him and writes a note calling out his Fantastic Racism and telling him to "lighten up and stop being a jerk". DiZ's reaction is somewhere between a groan and a laugh.
• Later revisions for The Year Between retconed Huey, Dewey and Louie into their more distinct reboot counterparts, laying the groundwork for more comedy.
  • Mrs. Beakley and Webby explain why the ducklings are grounded:
    Mrs. Beakley: It's because of the Item Shop incident...
    Webby: I thought it was because Louie lost the till money to some dogs at poker night.
    Naminé: He bet their money…against some dogs.
    Riku Replica: What kind of dogs? Dog men? Normal dogs? …What?
    Mrs. Beakley: Dalmatian puppies. And a singing, roguish, bandanna-clad terrier.
    Webby: And there was that one time he tried to buy Mr. Geppetto’s puppet son…
    Riku Replica: He what?!
    Mrs. Beakley: Only for said puppet son to win Louie’s temporary Indentured Servitude in a poker game.
    Riku Replica: (To self) What's with this kid and poker?!
    Webby: Not to mention, Dewey did abandon his shift to go exploring on that giant world-ship. …And took that ship for a joyride through that freaky car world while its captain was busy with a failed lunch date, but—
    Riku Replica: ...A car world.
    Webby: Uh-huh, and he pasted these GIGANTIC googly eyes on the front of the ship to try bringing it to life like all the car people, and that gave its captain a heart attack when he parked it back in Traverse Town during his date—
    Mrs. Beakley: Point being: it proved far too risky to leave three children unsupervised. So now they’re grounded.
  • The ducklings and Webby ask about Riku Replica's Black Cloak.
    Dewey: Aw, man! But there are so many things I’m dying to know! Like where you got that coat, ‘cause to be honest, I’m kiiinda diggin’ the look.
    Webby: (To Naminé) And what happened to your coat? All the Organization employees have one, right? And do you all wear tiny white dresses underneath?
    Huey: Follow-up question: does the coat have any supernatural properties? If so, what's it made from?
    Webby: Follow-follow up: whatever it's made of, it's not puberty-repellent because you stink.
    Riku Replica: (Face Palm) Follow-up squared…you guys got a shower I can use?
• After returning from Monstropolis, Saïx shares his findings with the rest of the Organization in a meeting.
  Saïx: Now, if you don't mind, I have some equally striking revelations.
  Xigbar: Oh, don't tell me that kids aren't actually toxic…
  Saïx: If you please, Xigbar.
• Xemnas attempts to guilt-trip the heroes into rebrandishing their Keyblades. Aqua's response:
  It took you six months to come up with that? I've heard better lies from Ven when he dropped my toothbrush in the toilet.
  • Even funnier with The Reveal that Xemnas is Terra's Nobody and thus has all of his memories.^note  At this point, Xemnas was hooded, concealing his identity from Aqua.
• In the ending party of The Year Between, Sora dons a pair of joke glasses with a fake nose and mustache. When Riku teases him and calls him the King of Dorks, Sora huffs and slaps the glasses on Riku, much to the amusement of everybody else.
  • Donald quips that the glasses go well with Riku's silly Dark Form jumpsuit, which he had on at that point.
• Phil brings up the idea of Zeus giving Hades a wedgie: a mental image that elicits laughter from the entire group.
• Hercules introduces Aqua to his father Zeus, who initially mistakes her for Meg. Cue Luminescent Blushes from both Aqua and Herc.
  Zeus: So, is this that beautiful young lady you've told me so much about? You never mentioned she was a Keybearer!
  Hercules: N—no! She's just a friend.
  Zeus: Now, now, son! There's no need to be so bashful. [To Aqua as her cheeks grow redder] Did he take you riding on Pegasus? I'm sure the ladies must love that!
  • A very flustered Aqua responds by covering her face with her hands.
  • This reference to the mythological Zeus which Disney would never allow:
    Aqua: Actually, sir, my name is Aqua.
    Zeus: Oh! Hope I didn't blow your cover there, my boy.
    Hercules: [Groan] Father, I'm not two-timing!
    Zeus: Of course not! No son of mine only settles for two.
• Hades has quite a few comedic moments.
  • The heroes visit to the Underworld in hopes of finding out what became of Zack. It takes a moment for Hades to recall who Zack is.
    Hades: Hmmm… Zack, Zack, Zack… Oh yeah! Emo guy, blonde, spiky hair?
    Donald: No. That was Cloud.
    Hades: Hunky Manchild, brunette, samurai pants?
    Aqua: That's Terra.
    Hades: Okay, okay… I think I got it this time. Middle-aged guy, red get-up, arm in a sling, huge scar over one eye?
    (Beat)
    Aqua: …I have no idea who that is.
    • And when he does remember Zack, Hades laughs and responds with this:
      Hades: I can't believe this. You came all the way down here, risking life and limb, for some pretty-faced, puppy dog twerp you met once? Y'know, he'd fit right in with all those princesses!
      Donald: Enough messing around, Hades!
      Hades: Oh, how threatening. Y'know, if I really wanted to, I could turn ya into a roast duck, but your little temper tantrums are just too priceless to pass up. So go ahead. Yell, scream, the whole shebang. Here, I'll even make popcorn. [Manifests skull-patterned popcorn baggies in everyone's hands]
      [Donald proceeds to stomp on his popcorn bag in a fit of rage.]
  • "Ten points for Gryffindor!"
• In an effort to learn more about the Titans, Donald and Goofy consult an oracle.
  Oracle: Yes… I see it now! An epic clash of apocalyptic forces spanning entire worlds in its epic scale. Chaos! Panic! Utter destruction awaits!
  Goofy: G-gawrsh, then the Titans—
  Oracle: What? Titans? No, no! It's because your feathered friend here forgot his girlfriend's birthday.
  Donald: I… WHAT?!
• After the defeat of the Cyclops Titan, the Genie rebuilds the statue of Hercules accurately save for the head... which has fuzzy skin, cartoonishly big eyes and a long, hooked nose.
  Wait, was this commission for Hercules or Gonzo the Great? …Eh. [Whacks the statue's face with a mallet and chisel to turn it into Herc's face.]
• During the confrontation with Hades on Mount Olympus, Sora takes out his notepad and enthusiastically scribbles an insulting note. Though we never get to see whatever it is he drew/wrote, Hades is not impressed. Luckily, the distraction allows Aqua to attack him from behind.
  Hades: Oh. Real mature, Scribbles—AAAGH!
  • After the battle with the Titans, Ares finds Sora's immature sketch/note to Hades and decides to frame it.
• Riku recalls to Kairi all the times she saved him and it results in this exchange:
  Riku: Yeah, but it's kinda funny how things turned out. I mean, with all the times you've rescued me, it almost feels like I'm the princess in this equation. [Beat] Ugh, bad choice of words. Forget I said—
  Kairi: I don't know. You're pretty enough for it.
  Riku: [Facepalm] I'm never gonna live this down, huh?
  Kairi: Nope! Henceforth, you'll be known as Princess Sourpuss, Sovereign of Darkness and Bullheadedness.
  • The exchange which follows is also pretty funny.
    Riku: Ugh. There goes the last shred of my dignity. Never stood a chance.
    Kairi: Silly Riku. You lost your dignity when you started wearing those poofy clown pants.
    Riku: Which I don't even wear anymore.
    Kairi: But your Dark Mode does have that hula skirt.
• Jack Sparrow gets into a bar fight with Roger Radcliffe. As the scene plays out, a crows chants "FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!" One woman yells "GIVE HIM THE CHAIR", followed by a heavy crash. Ringabel facepalms.
  • "YOU GAVE RUM TO MY PUPPIES?!"
  • The winner of the bar fight: Cogsworth.
    LUMIERE?! HOW DID YOU GET ME INTO THIS?!
• On the way to Sherwood Forest, Goofy tries to lighten the mood by singing what is described as 'the most obnoxious song in existence.' He practically yodels the following lyrics:
  It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all, it's a small world after aaaalll—
• King Candy meeting Donald Duck.
  King Candy: Oh dear! Did your friend get a sour patch kid stuck in his throat? His voice is so-
  Donald Duck: My voice is FINE!
• During the Treasure Planet arc, B.E.N flicks through portals to various worlds on Captain Flint's map. One portal shows a bunch of cars with big mouths and eyes on their windshields. Riku is terrified.
  • The last portal gives Miguel and Tulio from The Road to El Dorado a cameo. B.E.N quickly turns off the map.
    Don't mind that! Lousy Katzenbergian interference! Gave us a real headache when Flint was making the darn thing. And then there's the Bluthian Anomalies. Now, those were a real pain in the—
    • The implication that the map occasionally malfunctions and opens portals to non-Disney worlds.
• Olaf is a goldmine of comedy, especially Black Comedy.
  • His tendency to butcher people's names. He refers to Riku as Ricky, Rico, Rocko and Ricardio, and Nahxs as Noxious, Noxmus, Noxymus and Nosferatu.
  • This line:
    Yeah, and Kristoff doesn't have any superpowers, unless you count his BO. HEY! Let's throw Kristoff at that evil prince guy! Then his evil reflection powers will make him stink even worse and then the prince will smell it and die, just like I have inside!
  • Olaf makes an analogy about saving Anna by likening Hans to a human blizzard, which somehow turns into a plan to keep Anna warm by making a bonfire out of Hans' innards. Kristoff is understandably disturbed.
    • Fortunately, Sven shuts him up by muffling his speech with a hoof before he can explain his plans for Prince Hans-brand camping equipment in front of Anna.
• The scene after the destruction of Elsa's Ice Palace provides some much-needed levity.
  • Goofy scoops Anna up a bear-hug while exclaiming in her ear "YER OKAY!". A group hug ensues, with Riku trapped somewhere between the middle and the bottom.
  • This exchange:
    Kristoff: [Sniffs armpit] Oof. Wow! Escaping a monster-infested lava castle sure does horrors for your BO.
    Anna: That’s all you have to say? After the first five minutes, I was starting to worry, you know! I mean, sure, Kairi’s a super magic Key-slinging hero, and she’s got Captain Dark and Brooding over there—
    Riku: Hey. The name’s Princess Sourpuss.
    Kairi: Sovereign of darkness and ditching your friends in a blizzard…
  • The others watch Anna and Kristoff bicker Like an Old Married Couple.
    Donald: Sheesh, if I didn’t know better, I’d think they were the married couple.
    Goofy: But, ain’t (Hans) her fiancé?
    Hans: I thought I was her fiancé. I thought I was doing a pretty good job.
  • Just as Riku and Kairi are about to kiss, Dark Elsa regains consciousness. Kairi quickly casts a Sleep spell on her, which produces a very loud "BAA-AA-AA" noise. Anna's reaction is priceless.
    WHAT JUST HAPPENED? WHY IS MY SISTER A SHEEP?
• Hans catches sight of Kristoff holding Xaldin's dismembered (and frozen) arm and asks him about it. At the behest of Morph (who knows that Hans is evil), Kristoff lies that he intends to sell the frozen arm on the black market. Hans overlooks the offense but gives Kristoff an official warning.
  • During the above group hug, Kristoff pats Sven on the back with the severed arm.
  • Later on, Grand Pabbie drops the arm on the ground, shattering it. Kristoff falls to his knees in alarm and frantically scoops up the pieces, eliciting disturbed stares from everyone around him.
• The Trolls set up a wedding for their adoptive son Kristoff the moment they see him with a girl. The bride in question: Donald Duck.
  WAK! I'M NOT A GIRL!
  • When Marluxia and Larxene join the party, Xion brings them up to speed on what just happened.
    Xion: Okay, so, Donald married that buff ice guy—
    Donald: QUAAA-AAA-AAAACK!!!
  • Larxene spouts this gem towards Kristoff:
    FINE! IT’S YOUR MIGRAINE, DUCK-LOVER!
  • When Kristoff learns that Anna is set to marry Hans, Olaf tell him that he should've cut his losses and married the duck.
• In general, the scene with the Trolls is pretty chuckle-worthy.
  • During Kristoff and Donald's aforementioned wedding ceremony, the Trolls sing Fixer Upper... except they forget the lyrics to their own song.
    ♫ SO HE'S A BIT OF A FIXER-UPPER, HE'S GOT A FEW BUGS, SOMETHING, SOMETHING, SOMETHING, SOMETHING—LITTLE BIT OF LOVE!
    • "AND HE WANTS TO BEEEEEEE A CAT!"
  • Donald angrily points out that Kairi's the girl; not him. Immediately, the trolls grab Kairi (who responds with an adorable squeak of a shriek) and try to wed her to Kristoff instead.
    Troll: Dearly Beloved, do you-
    Kristoff and Kairi: No.
    Kristoff: And besides, she's, like, twelve!
    Kairi: For the THIRD time, I'm at least sixt—
    • A bit later in the same scene, when Olaf brings up that Kairi "had the hots for that Rico guy", Kairi ends up claiming that she's twelve to avoid the possibility of marriage.
      Xion: And I’m only a little over a year old, so I’m out!
      Olaf: I was born yesterday.
  • The heroes meet Xion's friends Chrysanthemum and Eclair and immediately deduce that they are Marluxia and Larxene; the Nobodies who antagonized Xiruk and Naminé. The pair tries to explain themselves.
    Marluxia: Now, before anyone goes and shoots their eyes out, perhaps it would be best if we had a chance to explain ourselves. You see—
    Larxene: He’s Marluxia, I’m Larxene, we betrayed Xemnas like a year ago, bullied your replica and his witch girlfriend, and then they almost killed us in London #5 and now we’re trying to play nice. So, who’s up for a union?
    The Trolls: LIKE A MARRIAGE?
  • One of the trolls lampshades Olaf's Nigh-Invulnerability.
    EUSTACE, HONEY, IT’S NOT WORTH IT! THE DEMON IS IMMORTAL!
  • Olaf talks about sitting by the fireplace at Anna's home. Everyone realizes that this is a terrible idea, including Larxene, who smiles very enthusiastically. Marluxia nudges her to cut it out.
    • Donald gives Olaf a snow flurry to protect him from heat, to the latter's delight.
      Olaf: My own flurry! That almost makes up for the time you impaled me!
      Donald: IT WASN’T EVEN ME!
      Olaf: See, that’s what every evil mastermind says! But I guess you’re more of a slightly-malevolent, decentish weirdo.
      Goofy: That’s what his yearbook says.
• Chapter 63, which takes place on a large airship housing refugees from lost worlds, has no shortage of Disney crossover shenanigans.
  • A bazooka is kept in a glass case with a sign that says 'BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF SANTA IMPOSTER.' The denizens of Grandship had learnt during the Christmas Episode A Heartfelt Holiday that skeletons in festive sleighs are no laughing matter.
    • The ammunition is stored in a second class case labelled ‘BREAK GLASS IN CASE YOU’RE ACTUALLY REALLY SURE ABOUT THIS.’
  • Cid and John Silver both crash into Grandship; Cid piloting his Gummi Ship and Silver commandeering a floating house.
    Silver: And ye call yourself a pilot?! Me thinks ye might’ve had a mite too much ale!
    Cid: Says the wackjob flyin’ around in a house! WHO’S EVER SEEN A HOUSE FLY?!
    Silver: If a whale can roam the cosmos, all bets are off! I’d expect a man of your age to know that, Pops!
    Cid: WHO’RE YOU CALLING ‘POPS,’ GRAMPS?!
    • Ringabel greeting the two.
      Ringabel: Greetings, gentlemen! How may I-(Blocks their attacks with a magical barrier for Silver's sword and his pompadour for Cid's toothpick)-assist you? Seeing how you’ve both crash-landed aboard my vessel. But I can’t say I’m surprised at your piloting, Cid Breakwind.
      Cid: OUTTA THE WAY, RINGABOOB! I ain’t done with this cheap, glorified can-opener!
      Yuffie: Yeah! You can’t just walk into a geezer fight and ruin it with your pretty face. Total buzzkill!
    • During their heart-to-heart in Chapter 76, Aqua points out the toothpick embedded in Ringabel's hair.
      Ringabel: That Cid Breakwind left his toothpick in my hair this entire time, and nobody told me?!
    • A dazed Carl Fredricksen stumbles out of the house only to fall on his back and be greeted by Baymax.
      Baymax: Don’t worry. I come equipped with defibrillators.
      Carl: What’s a defib—GYAOWOWZA!
    • After him, Russel climbs out the chimney of the lopsided house.
      See, Mr. Fredricksen! I knew letting the creepy pirate put a warp drive on your house when you weren't looking was a good idea!
  • In all the commotion, Jack Sparrow somehow pilfered an entire popcorn stand and was giving away free popcorn to the crowd, much to the horror of Robo, who volunteered to man the stand after Jack swindled him into assisting in his Christmas con.
  • There was an incident in the Drunken Pig Tavern where Gaston "sent Miss Piggy off the deep end." The result? A corner of the tavern surrounded with caution tape and a lopsided table with a distinctly man-shaped dent. A man-shaped dent that was, in Gaston's painkiller-addled words, roughly the size of a barge. At another table, Kermit the Frog patted his still-fuming girlfriend on the back.
  • Sam the Eagle's enthusiasm to hang Silver.
    Cid: Misunderstanding my behind! Ya stole the Warp Drive from right under their noses! You’re half the reason they’re stuck in that freezer in the first place!
    Silver: And what would ye have me do? Sit about, twiddlin’ me thumbs ‘til they have me hanged?
    Sam: [Perks up]
    Cid: Sure, if ya deserve it!
    Sam: [Begins tying a noose]
    • While this goes on, Yuffie slips a crazy straw into Cid's mug and sneakily drinks out of it, before Tiz catches her in the act.
      Tiz: [Whispers] Hey. Aren’t you a bit young for that?
      Yuffie: Well, you’re too young to go grey, but here we are.
    • Before the tavern can escalate into another night of spontaneous musical chaos, Ringabel intervenes.
      Ringabel: There’ll be no thuggish brawling aboard this ship!
      Sam: But what about-
      Ringabel: And no hangings either!
      Sam: [Lowers his noose and walks away, despondent.]''
  • The ending of the chapter. As the smoke clears, Silver comes face-to-face with Carl Fredricksen.
    “Hi. I’m Carl Fredricksen.”
    Carl Fredricksen whipped out a switchblade.
    • Carl's dialogue in Chapter 68 indicates that he won the duel.
• During the Arendelle arc, Xigbar gets bored and decides to leave to watch TV, much to Young Xehanort's chagrin.
  Xigbar: No offense, Skippy, but this is about as thrilling as watching paint dry. Besides, I got a show comin’ on any minute, and—
  Xehanort: The future of the Organization is dying on this couch, and you would rather watch TV?
  Xigbar: Yep.
  • As Xigbar leaves, Xehanort gets a glimpse of the show in question: Dinosaurs.
  • Later, Hudson is seen watching the exact same show while wondering how the heroes are doing. Immediately on cue, a portal opens in front of the TV and Young Xehanort runs out, with Kairi and a pink blob creature with googly eyes in pursuit.
    Hudson: …That answers one question, yet raises so many others.
• During the fight with Young Xehanort, the heroes chase him through a series of dark corridors, one of them leading to the Arendelle Castle kitchen, where a bunch of rats are cooking the food for Anna's wedding. They immediately mistake Donald Duck for food and begin throwing sharp objects at him.
  Donald: I AM NOT A GOOD SPOT TO FIND SOME INGREDIENTS!
• Xion and Jim infiltrate Anna's wedding... by disguising themselves as members of the Five Bear Rugs from the Country Bear Jamboree.
  Whatever happened next…would be very, very stupid.
  • Later on, Anna sees the bears try to gain admission to the wedding, to the exasperation of one royal guard.
    Royal Guard: NO, WE DID NOT BOOK THE FIVE BEAR RUGS FOR THIS WEDDING!
    Big Fred: Uhhh, think ya might wanna check the list again?
    Royal Guard: I’M NOT— No, you’re still not on here!
    Cousin Ted: [Brandishes an empty glass jug] Check it again.
    Royal Guard: You're still not on here!
    Xion: [Brandishes a washboard] Check it again.
    Royal Guard: OH, FOR AHTOHALLAN’S— (Deep breath) Look. We already booked Rowlf The Piano-Playing Dog for this wedding! NO BEARS!
    • Another guard informs the former that Rowlf the Piano-Playing Dog was knocked unconscious by a flying pink blob monster, thus he is unable to perform at the wedding. The Five Bear Rugs look on hopefully.
• Upon meeting Ringabel, Xion seems to gain an Absurd Phobia of the former's Anime Hair.
  Xion: KYAAAAAAA! TOO MUCH HAIR!
  [Xion scuttles away and hides behind Jim as Cid laughs at Ringabel's unamused reaction.]
  Cid: Serves you right, Ringaburp!
  • From this point on, pretty much any scene from Xion's POV will refer to Ringabel as the Hair Fiend.
• At the end of the Arendelle arc, Elsa warns the others that the Organization is spying on them through the sigil scarred on Riku's chest. Cid stops silent for a second, before flashing a wide grin.
  Cid: THEN I'M GONNA SWEAR FOR REAL! XEMNAS, YOU SON OF A—
• Though Xemnas and Aqua's troubled relationship is most certainly NOT Played for Laughs, after spending several chapters witnessing their dramas, Xiruk remarks that he feels like a divorce counselor, eliciting annoyed looks from both of them.
  • Xiruk then recites a passage from a book about divorce that he only half-remembered. Xemnas suggests that they keep moving before the metaphor gets any more absurd.
  • Even better, per a patron's request, the author did a sketch of the "divorce selfie" meme, except with Aqua, Xemnas and Xiruk. It has to be seen to be believed.
    • A small detail: on Xiruk's desk is Aqua's "divorce papers": a ridiculously large stack of paperwork thicker than the Book of Prophesies, titled "How to Stop Being A Manipulative Asshole".
    • And yes, Ringabel is there too, resting his arm on Xiruk's computer and winking at Aqua.
