History Funny / MissingLink

-->'''Lionel:''' You were mauled by a prehistoric lack monster. How many people can claim that?

'''Sir Lionel:''' ''[visibly unnerved]'' That's nice. What does it mean?\\

* This argument Sir Lionel has with Mr. Lint when he tries to convince her it was an honor to be eaten alive by Nessie:

* When parting ways with Adelina, Lional leans in to kiss her, [[KissDiss but she completely stops him in his tracks]]. Susan proceeds to poke fun at him for it.

* Lionel casually insisting to his panicking assistant Mr. Lint to hold still, smile and say "cheese" while he takes a picture of Nessie. The way he goes about, you'd think Mr. Lint were simply fidgeting rather than fearing for his life that this monster could eat him. ...which [[BlackComedy it does so]], in one bite!

** Also some of Lint's lines are hilarious.

** And while Lint is holding onto the rope, there's the series of lines he says:

* "[[VisualPun The Game.....Is Afoot!]]"

* Lionel riding through the town nearby where Sasquatch lives. On the second floor of a building, a prostitute filing her nails blows a kiss his way and he's flattered. Inside a jail cell, a thug filing the bars on his window blows one at him too. Lionel has a wide-eyed look that just ''screams'' "[[NoJustNoReaction Nope]]".

* Mr. Link knew who Lionel was from reading newspaper headlines about him. They are mostly about how he squandered his family's inheritance, makes crazy claims, and another one involving Lionel and a ballerina "in flagrante".

** In regards to the "In Flagrante" news article, Mr. Link casually mentions there's a picture of said-article. It's just the [[SincerityMode pure, innocent]] way Mr. Link talks about it that nails it home.

** A dog barks and growls at Mr. Link, who responds by roaring at him. The dog backs up and apparently decides he wants to take its chances with an other foe... then he begins to attack his master who was standing next to him.

* When Mr. Link voices his complaint about how claustrophobic and hot his clothes feel, Sir Lionel suggests he can open a window if it will make him feel better. However, the way he words his suggestion leads to this gem:
-->'''Sir Lionel:''' Fine, fine. By all means, crack open the win-
-->'''Mr. Link:''' ([[ExactWords Cracks open]] a window with his bare fist)

** Adelina figures out that Lionel just wants her map and asks if he was planning on just charming his way into her giving it to him. He then offers to pay her for it......and it goes about as well as you'd expect.
--->'''Lionel:''' I see how much your husband's legacy means to you. I would never wish to obtain the map by insincere flimflammery. No. ...[[InnocentlyInsensitive I will pay you for it]]!
** Throughout the entire scene, Lionel is rummaging through drawers to find the map, and when Adelina turns around, he quickly tries to look like he was doing nothing.
** After Lionel offers to pay for the map, Adelina just.....''loses it.'' It cuts to Lionel legging it out of the room where Mr Link is waiting, Adelina yelling in Spanish off-camera, and the butler being knocked out in her rage by a paperweight.

** Next, there proceeds the running gag where Sir Lionel learns the hard way how LiteralMinded Mr. Link is, from "[[ExactWords throw the rope over the wall]]" to "You might as well throw these tools over the wall too" (and Link [[SarcasmBlind proceeds to do just that]]).
** Lastly, Sir Lionel decides Link can climb over the garden wall, given he has big arms and hands. Link believes him for a moment. ...Until the running start goes so badly that he [[TheKlutz stumbles forward and crashes through the garden wall instead]].
--->'''Sir Lionel:''' ''[Beat]'' [[SarcasmMode Bravo.]]\\

* Sir Lionel thinks opening the safe using the crowbar is too loud, and maybe throwing the safe out the window will be [[TemptingFate less trouble]]. Shortly afterwards, Lionel is in for a rude awakening when Link starts making quite a ruckus by scraping it across the floor while trying to push it towards the window. Frustrated, Lionel sarcastically claims Link might as well play a trumpet and sing "Star-spangled Banner". [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Link says he would, but he doesn't know how to play, and he doesn't know that tune]]. Then, when Link finally understands sarcasm, he facetiously says "''I'm on to you''", as though Lionel's sarcasm were some sort of scheme he was planning all along.

* Adelina screaming as loudly and shrilly as a [[SmashCut train whistle]] when she spots him running off with her map. Immediately hard cuts to train whistle.
* Adelina goes in search of our heroes to get back her husband's map. At the train station, she sees two suspicious figures: a nun and a wheelchair-bound granny that [[PaperThinDisguise obviously]] resemble Sir Lionel and Mr. Link, respectively. She confronts them, adding that she [[DontAsk doesn't]] want to know ''how'' Sir Lionel got a hold of a Nun's outfit... and then Mr. Link blurts that [[CrossesTheLineTwice they robbed a nun]]. Sir Lionel tries to play dumb and pretend he is but a humble nun. ...Until Adelina [[ClickHello holds up a gun]], prompting him to sheepishly confess it is them.

** When Adelina has Frost at gunpoint, he starts trying to reason with her, only for a gunshot to be heard and for him to duck. Adelina then looks confused at her gun, wondering if she accidentally pulled the trigger.

* During the fight sequence on the boat, Stenk tries to get some men on his side by framing Mr. Link (who's carrying Adelina) that the sasquatch is "monster kidnapping a defenseless girl". [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Clueless that he's talking about him]], Mr. Link confusedly wonders "[[WhereWhere ...Monster?]]" And Adelina bemusedly says "[[DamselOutOfDistress Defenseless?]]"
* The scene where Lord Piggot-Dunceby finds out from Stenk that the heroes are getting ahead of him starts with a shot of a crate labeled "[[StealthPun Nuts]]", whilst we hear Piggot-Dunceby's off-screen screaming and yelling. As though even the camera is unnerved by this spectacle, it pans slowly over to Lord Piggot-Dunceby indeed ''going nuts'', throwing a tantrum from the news. He actually kicks and screams like an angry child in front of his colleagues. Mr. Collick notes that he took it quite well. As Chris Butler regards in the Directors' Commentary:

* In the mountain village situated near the hidden Shangri-la, Sir Lionel tries to ask for directions from a local, [[TranslationByVolume slowly and loudly]]. The old man in question, with a glued on smile, playfully sticks his tongue out at them.
-->'''Link:''' ''[offended, at old man]'' Sir, that was [[TranslationByVolume Ru-u-u-u-ude]]!
:: : When Sir Lionel then explains to an offended Mr. Link that the old man's tongue-sticking is possibly the village's customary greeting, Link tries to imitate it by greeting with his tongue sticking out. The old man is repulsed.
* Upon taking our heroes to see Gamu, Ama warns them not to mention the chicken under any circumstances. Inside Gamu's home, the chicken is literally the first thing they (and the audience) see, making it all the more harder to ignore the elephant in the room. Then we have this:

* Gamu keeps patties made from the dung of yaks to fuel her fire... and, believing they're cookies, Mr. Link is ''[[{{Squick}} eating]]'' them. It's the way he ''savors'' the "cookies" that sells it.
* When Mr. Link reveals he's a sasquatch to Gamu, she screams and faints. Her granddaughter Ama shrieks "You have killed my grandmother!" This leads to some wacky high jinks where everyone's looking to Link to give Gamu the kiss of life. Just when Link is about to administer a [[ExactWords kiss]], Gamu wakes up and screams!

* The Yeti Elder calls sasquatches their "redneck cousins". The LiteralMinded Mr. Link assumes she's talking about his fur color and explains it's more auburn than red.
* When they view the Yetis' valley, our heroes savor the beauty that is Shangri-la. Of course, the Yeti elder points out that's just an outsider's name for it. What it's really called is something else:
--> '''Yeti Elder:''' We call it ''[series of Yeti growls and snarls]''.\\

:: : All while the Yeti Elder shares the "name", Adelina and Sir Lionel look surprised, while a serene Mr. Link is unfazed.
* The Yeti elder instructs her guards to throw the group into the pit, but then adds in an OverlyLongName for the place.
* Whilst interrogating Gamu, Skenk tries to threaten her at gunpoint, but Lord Piggot-Dunceby points out that threatening an old lady isn't going to work and there are more effective methods. Skenk wonders "[[ComicallyMissingThePoint How 'bout the chicken?]]"

* When Adelina asks Sir Lionel ''why'' he wants to be one of the Optimates, he answers "Because they said I couldn't!" It's the tone behind it that sounds so incredibly [[{{Manchild}} childish]], as though he were a little boy who was forbidden by the big kids to join them in their clubhouse.

* During the climax, Sir Lionel and Stenk engaging in the most immature slap fight imaginable ''whilst hanging off the ledge for dear life''. In fact, when Stenk first slaps Sir Lionel, the latter simply looks rather annoyed as though thinking "Did you ''really'' just slap me?"
* When facing off with the Elder Yeti and her Yetis one last time, Susan gives them a dignified DeathGlare... [[MoodWhiplash before blowing the longest ever raspberry at them]]. The indignant, wide-eyed look in the Elder Yeti's eyes just sells it.

** A dog barks and growls at Mr. Link, who responds by roaring at him. The dog backs up and then begins to attack his master who was standing next to him.

* [[VisualPun The Game.....Is Afoot!]]

* Mr. Link's attempt to throw Sir Lionel out of the pit at his behest. [[RealityEnsues Lionel hits a wall for his troubles]], letting out the most pained grunt a person who collides with a solid wall can make. Link can't tell whose fault it was... and enthusiastically suggests they do it again!

-->'''Sir LioneL:''' Okay, I said "Name ''one''".

* Mr. Link knew who Lionel was from reading newspaper headlines about him. They are mostly about how he squandered his family's inheritance, makes crazy claims, and another one involving Lionel and a ballerina "[[GettingCrapPastTheRadar in flagrante]]".

* During the climax, Sir Lionel and Stenk engaging in the most immature slap fight imaginable ''whilst hanging off the ledge for dear life''.

** And while Lint is holding onto the rope, he says:

* When Adelina asks Sir Lionel ''why'' he wants to be one of the Optimates, he answers "Because they said I couldn't!" It's the tone behind it that sounds so incredibly [[{{Manchild}} childish]].
