Funny / The Royal Tenenbaums

• "Wildcat... wild... cat... pow..."
• "Oh, Eli just crashed his car into the building..."
• Eli's rather understated reaction to the crash, "...has anyone seen my shoe?" It should also be noted he is wearing rather evocative "warpaint" all over his face. For a wedding. Eli's descent into serious drug addiction is at once as tragic as it is darkly hilarious.
• The bizarre paintings of monster-masked men hanging in Eli's house. There doesn't even need to be any jokes made about them, or any attention really called to them by the characters. Just the fact that they're there noticed by the audience makes the scene hilarious on its own.
• Royal and Henry, two "old grizzly bears" just about getting ready to throw down in the kitchen, then calmly pretending as if nothing has happened.
• The priest getting shoved down the stairs during the chase scene.
  • Made even funnier by the fact that he remain still as he slides down the stairs.
• "HEY! Are you listening to me?!" "YES, I AM!"
  • Followed by Chas just leaving after being reprimanded by Royal for not getting over his wife's death, turning off the light and leaving him there. Royal turns the light back on, and stands around poking his cane on the floor until he finds his plaque with the boar head on it, which Richie puts back on the wall later in the film.
• Royal telling Ari and Uzi that dedicated manservant Pagoda once saved his life, carrying him to a hospital after Royal had been stabbed.
  Ari: Who stabbed you?
  Royal: He did. There was a contract on my life. Stabbed me right in the gut with a shiv.
• Raleigh passing over Margot's promiscuous past, in favour of questioning about the revelation that she smokes.
• Meta: There is now a plaque up at Forest Hills Stadium (where the tennis scenes were shot) "commemorating" Richie's on-court breakdown.
