For moments from House of Mouse, go here.
Mickey Mouse Works shorts
"Pardon me! Coming though!"
- The entirety of "Donald's Goofy World", where Donald has a nightmare that everyone and everything is turning into a clone of Goofy — including his neighbors, friends, animals, plants, TV shows, even the Sun, and eventually Donald himself. The whole thing is so absurdly hilarious, it's hard not to laugh.
- Then he wakes up, and the first thing he sees is Goofy... after kicking the laughing Goofy heads.
Goofy: You okay, Donald?Donald: Huh? You mean I'm not Goofy?Goofy: Not unless you've been keeping secrets. Hyuck! - "Rollercoaster Painters" (pictured) has Mickey and Donald in a paint war while riding the coaster, only for the frantic madness to freeze momentarily to allow Goofy (floating upwards on balloons) to pass them.
- Anytime Goofy counts down a Long List of puns (especially in the Mickey, Donald and Goofy shorts). Such as in "Pit Crew" about gas, including the gas meter, gas mask, gas valve, gas lamp, gastropod and the "gas-t of honor" (the Mad Hatter).
- Also from "Pit Crew". After Goofy's hat is ruined, he tries on Donald's hat, Mickey's ears and their girlfriends' bows.
- All of "Hydro Squirter". Highlights include:
- Von Drake's rocketship stuck in a countdown: "...five, four, three, two, two, two, two..."
- Von Drake's shower nozzle pouring out ice cubes ("Too cold, too cold, too cold!") and then a stream of fire ("Too hooooot!").
- There's also the scene In which Von Drake ends up naked out in the street in only his tail feathers.
- As his shower-turned-teleport-machine sinks into a lake, Von Drake says, "Come back here! You're not a sink, you're a tub!"
- Also, "If I wasn't already in the lake, I'd tell you to go jump in it!"
- When Von Drake finds himself on the tracks of a roller coaster: "Oh, would you look at that view? And look at that... (sees coaster train coming at him) ROLLY COASTER?!?!"
- The tub's alarm message, with Von Drake's usual rambling:
"Step away from the tub, you kooky criminal you! This is not a warning! Well, it actually is a warning, but you know what I mean."- And the scene with the lions.
- And Von Drake sliding down a cliff in the tub, then proceeding to find himself teleported into various peoples' houses.
- The ending, where Von Drake gets rid of the stuck rocket by transporting it away with the tub. He then gets a call from Mickey about the rocket in his bathtub.
- "Relaxing with Von Drake" also has its moments:
- What is Von Drake's method of getting someone to relax? Torturing them, of course! Some of his relaxing aids (read: torture devices) include a giant toaster, a punching machine and an acu-puncture chamber.
- Some of his ideas for a healthy diet include Camel-Mile Tea and Bee Vitamins.
- The ending, where after all the crap the professor put him through, Donald uses the so-called "relaxation aids" to turn the professor into... Swiss Roast Duck.
- From "Hickory Dickory Mickey":Goofy: Yfoog s'ti. Yekcim olleh.Mickey: Goofy, you're talking in the wrong end of the phone again!Goofy: Spoo. (hangs up and calls again) Hello Mickey. It's Goofy.Mickey: Yeah, I figured that out.
- The dream sequence leading up to 6 AM is also funny.
- And the ending, when it turns out that the airport that Mickey needed to wake up at 6 AM to drive Goofy to is RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO GOOFY'S HOUSE.
Mickey: Ya mean it's right next door?!Goofy: Ahyuck! Convenient!(Mickey angrily throws Goofy out of his car)Goofy: Gawrsh... - In the Goofy's Extreme Sports segment about rock climbing, Goofy is performing various poses and techniques, including:Goofy: Look, Ma, no hands!Narrator: What are you doing!? YOU'LL FALL!
- In another Goofy's Extreme Sports segment, on paracycling, Goofy engages in some aerial acrobatics as he falls. As he does this...Narrator: As the ground looms, it's time to activate the parachute.
(Goofy gets into a reclining position while falling.)
Narrator: I said, ACTIVATE THE PARACHUTE!!!
(Goofy does so — underneath him.)
Narrator: And you should always open it above you.
(The parachute gets tangled all over Goofy's body, wrapping him up like a mummy.) - In a third Goofy's Extreme Sports segment, this one on wakeboarding, Goofy demonstrates various aerial stunts, including the "air tantrum":Goofy: (throwing a childish tantrum in midair) NO, NO, NO! DARN, DARN, DARN! (wails like a bratty child)
- Later, he crashes into a fancy sand castle, which looks a lot like Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle.
- The entirety of "How To Be A Gentleman"
(3:36 at the link). The ending, where Goofy beats the narrator up with a club after he berates him for forgetting his pants, doubles as Goofy's Moment of Awesome.- On that note, we have Goofy greeting The Queen of England:
Goofy: HIYA QUEENIE!(Queen hits him with her scepter)Goofy: Hey, Liz?(Queen hits him again)Goofy: Your Royal Pain?(Queen hits him again)Goofy: Ouch!(Queen hits him again)Goofy: All I said was ouch!(Queen hits him some more)Narrator: One should bow gracefully and say, "my dear Queen, how delightful to make your acquaintance".(Queen hits him so hard that he falls and a lump grows on his head...and several more lumps grow from said lump) - In "How to be Groovy, Cool, and Fly", the narrator insults Goofy's wardrobe by saying that he looks as if his mother still dresses him. Suddenly, Goofy's mother appears and tells her son that he forgot his hat.
- "Goofy's Big Kitty" has two. The first one is Goofy using his belt as a collar for the mountain lion he mistook for his new pet cat, which results in Goofy using the small collar to hold up his pants, giving him a feminine shape and comenting on his hourglass figure. The second one is when the mountain lion gets away, causing Goofy to break down in tears and scream "I'm a terrible father!"
- In "How to be a Baseball Fan" Goofy crashes into a group of fans with letters on their shirts that spell go homers. After a few attempts to get the letters right, the group spells out their letters and say "Go home!" to Goofy.
- Later, Goofy is seen yelling what appear to be censored words with an air horn.
- In "How to be a Spy", when they go over "Debugging", Goofy starts to swat bugs crawling out of a phone while screaming "Bugs in my phone!" During this, he briefly stops to say "Dumb joke".
- "Car Washers" ends with Mickey telling Pete that his car Shrunk in the Wash (when in fact, they accidentally destroyed it, sold the parts and bought a miniature model as a replacement). Pete is incredulous of this, but then he ends up forced through the car wash and becomes tiny, yelling at Mickey, Donald, and Goofy in a high-pitched voice.
- In "Mickey and the Color Caper", we see a picture of the Phantom Blot's parents, and the picture resembles the famous painting American Gothic.
- Goofy arguing with himself over the phone in "Locksmiths".
- Also Goofy's ridiculously large number of keys, many of which are puns(Including "Don Quixote" which even Goofy says is a "Stretch") and Mickey's annoyed reaction when Goofy finally finished going through them all.
Goofy: And (ah-hyuck) get ready... Mic-key!Mickey: That accomplished absolutely nothing!Goofy: (Pulls out a spare key from the inside of his mouth) Well, maybe we should just use the spare key.Mickey: Hmph! - All of The Nutcracker. It's a fairly faithful retelling of the tale, but almost every second is a riot with the Interactive Narrator (John Cleese, no less), from literally kicking Godpapa Drosselmeier (Von Drake) out of the story for breaking the nutcracker, refusing to help Mickey (playing the nutcracker) explain to Goofy that he needs a role to be in the story, and telling Donald (playing the mouse king — in a pair of classic black mouse ears) that his character will win so that he'll stay in the story.
- Also, the ending, when Drosselmeier comes in and reveals he's the King of the Sugar Plum Fairies, resulting in him having a full-blown argument with the narrator about this incredibly dumb reveal, resulting in the Narrator being done with the entire story and leaving.
- The animatronic parrot giving a Wolf Whistle after Mickey and Minnie kiss at the end of "Pinball Mickey".
- At one point in "Housesitters", Mickey, Donald, and Goofy shoot at Pete and cause his buttons to fall off. The trio's reactions to the buttons for the dropseat of Pete's long johns getting shot off are hilarious.
- In the "Time Reverser" Ludwig Von Drake short, the professor attempts to test the titular time machine by breaking his mother's china and then going back in time to prevent himself from doing that. However, the time machine ends up breaking, resulting in an understandably horrified Professor Von Drake hurriedly leaving to buy new china while his mother hollers his name in anger.
- Yet another Ludwig Von Drake short, "Teledinger", consists of Ludwig inventing the telephone and a flashlight without realizing that those things already exist.
- A third Von Drake short, "Money Increaser", shows the professor inventing a money-increasing machine with which to end poverty forever, only for it to get him arrested for counterfeiting.
- In yet another Von Drake short, "Remote Controlled Laser Lawnmower", said lawnmower slices Ludwig's coat, exposing his butt. Then it turns a globe into an apple core and chops a copy of A Tale of Two Cities in half, reducing it to A Tale of One City.
- "Computer.don" has Donald's Imagine Spot of Daisy dumping him for a robot and Mickey's cameo where he is mistakenly packed as the mouse for Donald's new computer and storms off while yelling that he isn't supposed to be in this cartoon.
- There's also the speaker calling Donald "Duwwod".
- Mickey's ridiculous procrastinating on his piano practice in "Mickey's Piano Lesson". The piano instructions being named "Easy as Pie" lead to him eating some pie, he then decides to go on a picnic, give Pluto a bath, go bowling and skateboarding and after that he goes skydiving, during which Minnie calls him to see if he is practicing. What's especially funny is that when Mickey looks at the instructions again, he nearly repeats the cycle until he realizes how much more time he would waste.
- In "Double Date Don," Clara Cluck is seen watching television and the announcer says "We now return to The Lame and the Whiny!"
- In the same short, Clara tries getting Donald's attention by throwing herself into the sea tied to his bricks. As he brings them back to the shore:
Donald: Ahhh, almost lost my bricks! - When Mickey says "Put down that broom and pack your bags, we're going around the world in eighty days!", to Goofy, Goofy in return says "What's the big hurry? We're not leaving for eighty days.". Cue Mickey rolling his eyes from hearing such an abnormal reply.
- In "How to Be Smart", Goofy gets a crash course in grammar:Narrator: A sure sign of smarts is one's ability to write, and the beginning writer is wise to choose a simple sentence.
(Ludwig Von Drake brings up a sentence on a blackboard)
Goofy: (reading message) "I am smart." How about that?
Narrator: The writer can bring more meaning to the sentence with the addition of an adverb.
(Von Drake changes the sentence)
Goofy: (reading) "I am not smart." (offended) Hey!
Narrator: A conjunction allows an additional sentence segment to be linked.
(Von Drake changes the sentence yet again)
Goofy: "I am not smart and I smell." (infuriated) You little...!
Narrator: Don't be afraid to use other nouns as descriptors in your sentence.
(Von Drake changes the sentence yet again)
Goofy: "I am not smart and I smell like a monkey." That's it!
(he chases Von Drake, only to slip and fall down)
Narrator: Remember that sometimes the best sentence is the shortest.
Goofy: (a new message displayed) "Ouch!"- Also in How to Be Smart, "Heavens to Betsy!" turning out to be the correct answer in the quiz show.
- "How to Be A Waiter". All of it. Notable examples include Goofy practicing emotions up to "Unconsciousness" (he gets knocked unconscious due to practicing in a fast pace) and reciting a tongue twister ("How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?") in different voices (and in Japanese!).
- Goofy also demonstrates a number of different film genres, the first being the silent film. He appears in a short called "Steamboat Goofy," which is identical to the iconic Mickey short. Then Mickey himself appears when Goofy accidentally rams his steamboat, yelling at him for messing up his own short, and Goofy's boat promptly sinks.
- The end of "Mickey's Mix-Up," when the fax he initially sent to Mortimer winds up in the hands of Roy E. Disney, then-Chairman of Walt Disney Feature Animation.Roy E. Disney: (after reading the fax) "Huh? What'd I ever do to him?"
- The fact that Roy Disney sounds more confused than offended.
- In "Whitewater Don", Donald brings Daisy along on a fishing trip, because he forgot he promised her a romantic date an thinks he can do both, but Daisy keeps interrupting his fishing with various 'romantic' requests like serenades, rubbing her feet, etc. When she wants him to read her a poem, we get this:Donald: "Roses are red, violets are blue, LET ME FISH!"
- "Bird-Brained Donald" in general is a pretty funny short, but the highlight is definitely the completely out-of-nowhere Disney Acid Sequence in which the Aracuan Bird takes multiple pictures of Donald.
- "Mickey's Christmas Chaos" (Mickey's Christmas Crisis in the HoM repackage) centers around Mickey and Mortimer outdoing each other in decorating their houses for the Christmas decoration contest in many absurd, over-the-top ways. Ultimately, Pluto ends up winning, much to their dismay.
