Funny / The Phantom of the Opera (1990)

• The Phantom's initial reaction on hearing Carlotta (in this version, a Dreadful Musician who only gets leads because her husband is the manager):
  My God, this place really is haunted! What is THAT?!
• Coletti's declaration that he doesn't believe in ghosts. Cue a nearby bust falling over and scaring the crap out of him.
• This moment between Christine and the Phantom (after he sabotages Carlotta's debut). You can hear the smile on Charles Dance's face.
  Christine: Did you hear about what happened to Carlotta?
  Erik: No, what?
  Christine: Her debut was a disaster!
  Erik: Oh! That's too bad!
• During rehearsals for Faust, the director castigates the lead actor's performance
  This is poison, not soup! You are trying to kill yourself. Not enjoy a meal. That's because you despair. Not happy!
  • He then tell the accompanist to "take it from la-la-la-la". Naturally, the man looks confused.
• Just about anything the Phantom does to Carlotta. Her nervous breakdown after he pours rats all over her is a delight.
  • The aftermath of the rat attack. Several characters are trying to have a serious discussion about how to deal with the Phantom... meanwhile, Carlotta is dancing around them in full Ophelia mode, singing and throwing flowers over everyone.
• Christine and Carlotta's sing off at the bistro. Christine starts performing and a jealous Carlotta joins her, essentially shoving her out of the way so as to take center stage. Christine tries not to laugh. We get a quick cut to the Phantom's irritated reaction as she begins singing, but Christine soon outdoes her by hitting even higher notes and remains completely unmoved by Carlotta's efforts to upstage her until the latter finally storms off in humiliation. Meanwhile, Erik is happily listening to the applause Christine's getting.
