Funny / Oz the Great and Powerful

Go To

  • Oz' assistant picking the wrong sound effect tool, making it sound like Oz is levitating his audience plant to the sound of a crying baby.
  • The big goofy grin on Oscar's face when Glinda is telling him how he's the powerful wizard they've been waiting for.
    "So that's the true prophecy."
  • Oscar denying Theodora being a witch, and this piece of gold:
    Theodora: What would I do with a broom?
    Oscar: Fly.
    Theodora: With a... broom?
  • On their way to kill the Wicked Witch, Oz promises Finley "a nice pile of bananas" for helping him. Finley lambasts him for using such a vicious stereotype by assuming that because he's a monkey, he must love bananas.
    Oz: (sheepishly) You don't like bananas?
    Finley: Of course I love bananas, I'm a monkey, don't be ridiculous. I just don't like hearing you say it.
    • And Finley making "animal sounds" to lure what seems to be the Wicked Witch away from Oscar when he tries to steal her wand.
    Finley: Mooo! Moooooo!
  • China Girl begging Oscar to let her go with him on his journey. Oscar says: "On a witch hunt? Nah, you're just a little girl."
    China Girl: I'm not as delicate as I look! (kicks Oscar)
    Oscar: That didn't hurt.
    • She then starts crying and clings to his leg. After Oscar gives in, she stops crying and happily skips off. Leaving Oscar and Finley perplexed. Looks like they just got conned.
  • The Running Gag of Knuck not getting to play his trumpet fanfare until the end with the Sexy Discretion Shot. Also, Oz calling him Sourpuss.
    My name is Knuck!
  • China Girl pulling out her knife.
    Finley: "It's got a knife!"
  • Glinda informing Oz that he will go through the bubble wall, if he is good at heart. Oz quickly realizes what she just said, and adopts an Oh, Crap! expression. This is followed by him yelling, "I'm gonna die!"
    • Even funnier, that's the second time he says that. Glinda's explanation of the bubble wall was supposed to be reassuring. It wasn't.
    • What makes this twice as funny is that Glinda must have already figured out that Oscar isn't a real wizard and is instead just a lying asshole, as this would be the only reason for her thinking he may not get through the wall.
  • Oscar repeatedly failing to remember everyone's name properly. He somehow mistakes Glinda's name as Wanda and proceeds to call it her several times.
  • Theodora making Oz "dance" is actually darkly funny. Until she slams him into the wall.
  • Also, Evanora's unnerved looks whenever her sister goes Ax-Crazy and starts hamming it up.
  • Almost everything that Finley does.
  • Actually, the entire movie is incredibly funny, because almost every scene somehow has Narm Charm.
    • Example: "Begone, Witch! Before the Wizard makes mush of you!"
  • Evanora fleeing to the inside of the castle after getting the crap scared out of her by Oscar's "immortal form."
  • Before they go into the Dark Forest two crows caw at them before saying this:
    Crow: You'll die! You'll die! You'll die!
    Oscar: (unerved) Did those crows just say we're gonna die?
    Finley: (scared) They did...
  • This is probably a more subjective example, but if you're not scared by the plants in The Dark Forest and you think the way that Oscar, Finley and China Girl completely freak out when one drops down and suddenly appears in front of them is just a bit of an overreaction, it's actually quite hilarious. The highlight is when we see them from the plant's point of view complete with yellow vision and zoom-ins on their terrified faces, all while Oscar is screaming "AAAAAAHHHHH, WHAT IS IIIIIIIIT?!!"
  • The evil flying monkeys tear into what they think are enemy soldiers... only to find straw and hay in their hands instead of flesh and blood. One of them gives the Wicked Witches a "wtf?" look.
