Funny / The Blob (1958)

Go To

  • Jane hears a dog barking in the distance.
    Jane: I bet there is a house somewhere.
    Mooch: (laughs) It doesn't sound like a house. It sounds like a dog.
  • Anything little Danny Martin does something that isn't a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
  • "All right, Steve. You made us waste our 80 cents, now what gives?"
  • Sgt. Bert gives us a nice and cheerful greeting as he comes out of the market where Steve told everyone the Blob was.
  • When the heroes set off every alarm in town, there's a brief scene of an elderly man roused from bed, trying to dress himself and unable to decide which of his helmets to put on: firefighter or civil defense warden.
    Man: (to his wife) This has never happened before. What am I gonna wear!?
  • When you watch that doctor... first he pokes around and does nothing while the poor old man is getting eaten alive, and then he abandons his poor nurse in a room with the Blob — when he knows just how dangerous it is! When he finally gets eaten himself it's graveyard humor at its finest.
