History Funny / Moana

* After barely escaping Tamatoa, Maui tries to have a genuine heartfelt conversation with Moana, who can't concentrate because his shapeshifting messed up, leaving him with a shark head.

** Though the beat down Tamatoa gives Maui is definitely sad, there's something darkly humorous about Tamatoa shaking Maui off his hook by strumming him like a guitar.

** During the song, Tamatoa tells Maui that he "can't expect a demi-god to beat a decapod", and then [[BreakingTheFourthWall tells the audience]] to [[LampshadeHanging look it up]]. Even better is that [[https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=Decapod search intrest for "decapod" on Google]] ''peaked'' near the end of 2016, most likely because of this one line.

-->'''Tamatoa:''' ''(Menacingly)'' Are you just trying to get me to talk about myself? Because if you are... ''(Cheerfully)'' I WILL GLADLY DO SO!\\

* In a bit of BlackComedy, Maui pretends for a moment that a human sacrifice is needed to enter Lalotai. Moana believes him.
--> '''Maui:''' ''(laughs)'' Kidding! So serious!

* When Moana tries to hide the fact that she just had set out with a boat into the sea only to nearly drown, her cool grandma reassures her with "Whatever just happened... blame it on the pig." and that it will be their secret with "I'm [Tui's] mom. I don't need to tell him anything!"
* Moana finds her grandmother dancing with manta rays in the shallows;
-->'''Tala:''' When I die, I'm going to come back as one of ''these...''or I chose the wrong tattoo. ''(Turns her back showing a manta ray-shaped drawing)''\\
'''Moana:''' Why are you acting weird?\\
'''Tala:''' I'm the village crazy lady. [[ObfuscatingInsanity That's my job.]]
* Moana gives a big explanatory speech to Heihei about her plan to confront Te Kā with just her canoe, and then she stows Heihei away in the storage compartment as she ends it with:
-->'''Moana:''' ...none of which you understand, because you are a chicken.
* As they're sailing to Te Fiti after Maui discovers just how out of practice he is with his hook, Maui is lying on the raft, despondently singing his song with different lyrics, "We're dead soon. Hey, it's okay, it's okay, we're dead soon."
* When Maui is doing the chant before he opens the entrance to Lalotai, his shouting sounds almost exactly like, "I'm nuts! I'm nuts! I'm nuts!"
* At one point during the trip to Maui's island, Moana starts drifting off, only for the Ocean to rise up behind her and give her a quick smack on the head, causing her to wake up with a startled "Board my boat!"

** Speaking of which, Moana even said earlier that Maui and Tamatoa are NotSoDifferent since they both love bragging about themselves... only for Maui to say that they WERE friends until he ripped off Tamatoa's leg. Moana has just enough time to pull an OhCrap before the crab himself shows up.

** After realizing he has a shark head, HilarityEnsues as Maui tries to turn back into his normal self. At one point, he even winds up morphing into ''Heihei''. Upon seeing who he is, Maui lets out a scream and immediately transforms again.

** The word ''pua'' means "pig" and "pork" in Proto-Polynesian. She's essentially calling him delicious to his face.

* In the DVDCommentary, Musker and Clements struggle to remember if Creator/TemueraMorrison played [[Franchise/StarWars Jango Fett or Boba Fett]] before voicing Chief Tui. [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi From a certain point of view]], both were true at the time; he portrayed Jango in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and voiced Boba in {{George Lucas Altered Version}}s of ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''. Now that he also plays Boba in the Creator/DisneyPlus ''Star Wars'' shows, both guesses would sound equally valid today.

* This is not [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Disney's first franchise]] to have "wayfinders" (which is kind of HilariousInHindsight in its own little way)- one can really only look forward to a Moana world in a future game.

* Maui is telling Moana his story, claiming he stopped the sun with his fish hook, pulled an island from underwater, and fought monsters. This is told through the tattoos on his body, until we see the actual Maui while his tattoo counterpart is dancing. Maui tells the tattoo to stop, and it droops sadly.
* Moana's weirded-out look after all of Maui's haka, prompting him to say "What does a demigod have to do?"

** Then Moana's dad comes in and tells them not to worry as there are no such things as monsters...and accidentally unrolls a bunch of tapestries depicting horrible monsters that cover the entire hut and thus plunging it into darkness. The children then flip their collective shits.

** The word "pua" means "pork". She's essentially calling him delicious to his face.

** Heihei the stowaway. Looks right, water. Looks left, water. Looks all around, water. TwitchyEye. Camera pulls back.
--->'''Heihei''': ''BA''-'''''KAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWK!'''''

--->'''Maui:''' It was Moana, right?

---> '''Maui:''' "OH COME ON!" ''(Ocean squirts his face with water)''

** Moana with a little smile explains that yes, Maui may have done all he claims, [[NeverLiveItDown but everyone only remembers him for stealing Te Fiti's heart and bringing ruin for everyone]] [[BrokenPedestal and he is nobody's hero]]. Maui looks stunned and glimpses at the ocean... and the Ocean shakes its head (well... a wave) as if saying "Nah, you're really not. You messed up big time, Maui man."

-->'''Maui''': Stay outta it or you're sleeping in my armpit.

--->'''Tamatoa:''' ''(grabs the "heart", looking at it with glee as theatrical music is swelling)'' Yes! I have the-wait a minute... ''(the music halts, and time doesn't seem to move as Tamatoa talks)'' Augh! Oh, I see. She's taken a barnacle, and she's covered it in bioluminescent algae. As a diversion. ''(crushes the barnacle and time starts moving again)'' GRAAHH!

* When Moana tries to hide the fact that she just had set out with a boat into the sea only to nearly drown, her cool grandma reassures her with "Whatever just happened... blame it on the pig." and that it will be their secret with "I'm [Tui's] mother. I don't have to tell him anything!"
* Moana finds her grandmother dancing with manta ray in the shallows;
-->'''Tala:''' I want to come back as one of ''these...''or I chose the wrong tattoo. ''(Turns her back showing a manta ray-shaped drawing)''\\

* When Moana asks if Maui is afraid of The Heart of Te Fiti, Maui denies it. Mini Maui then starts chewing his nails and running around in mock terror. Maui then threatens to make it sleep in his armpit if it doesn't stop.

** Maui gets back into practice with his hook by starting small, shapeshifting into a beetle--which Heihei [[RunningGag promptly swallows]].

-->'''Kid #1:''' ''(while the children are running around in terror)'' Monsters, monsters!
-->'''Kid #2:''' It's the darkness!
-->'''Kid #3:''' No, no, no, no, no, no!
-->'''Tui:''' There's no monsters, no monsters--
-->'''Kid #4:''' I'm gonna throw up!

-->'''Old Man''': I'm curious about the chicken eating the rock. ''[Heihei repeatedly pecks a rock]'' He seems to lack the basic intelligence required for pretty much...everything. Should we maybe just [[EatTheDog cook him]]?\\

-->'''Moana:''' ''[Removes coconut from Heihei's head then puts it back]'' [[BigWhat Heihei?!?!?]]

-->'''Heihei''': ''BA''-'''''KAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWK!'''''

-->'''Moana''': (after being trapped in the cave) [[OhCrap Wha-- HEY!]] LET ME ''OUT!'' YOU LYING, SLIMY [[CurseCutShort SON OF A--]]
-->'''Maui''': ''You're welcome....''

--> '''Maui:''' I could watch that all day.

-->'''Maui''': [[DidntSeeThatComing Did not see that coming]].

--> '''Maui:''' Aaaand she's back.

-->'''Maui:''' It was Moana, right?

--> '''Maui:''' "OH COME ON!" ''(Ocean squirts his face with water)''

-->'''Maui''': ''(a soaking wet Moana glares at him and he shrugs)'' Worth a shot.

-->''(zoom in on Maui's tattoo of a crowd cheering)''
-->'''Whispering Voice''': Maui, Maui, Maui, Mauiiii...
-->''(zoom out to reveal Moana behind Maui)''
-->'''Moana''': ''(still whispering)'' You're so amazing!

-->'''Maui:''' ''(shrugs)'' [[BlackComedy ...Well, she's dead.]] Let's go find my hook.

** Moana’s LargeHam attempt to get Tamatoa to talk about himself.

** As he's stealing Moana's boat, Maui sets out some food for Heihei. Heihei starts [[EpicFail pecking the empty deck next to the food]], and has to have his head turned in the right direction. Maui's [[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe expression]] really sells it.

'''Te Fiti:''' ''[gives a look that says 'I've been a raging lava monster for a thousand years. How do you '''think''' I've been?']''

-->'''Tamatoa:''' ''(Menacingly)'' "Are you just trying to get me to talk about myself? Because if you are... ''(Cheerfully)'' I WILL GLADLY DO SO!\\

'''Tamatoa:''' [[ThatRemindsMeOfASong In song form!]]"

-->'''Moana:''' ''(banging on a drum, deadpan)'' Wow. A shiny, glittery cave. And just like me, it is covered in sparkly treasure. Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle.

-->'''Tamatoa:''' ''(somehow simultaneously confused and deadpan)'' Oh, you can. You keep surprising me.

--->'''Tamatoa''': What is a human doing here in the Realm of The Mon--just...just pick an eye, babe...I can't...concentrate...on what I'm saying. Just pick one. Pick ''one!''

-->'''Moana:''' (''after Tamatoa shows interest in her pendant'') NO! That's my grandma's!\\

-->'''Tamatoa:''' ''(Menacingly)'' "Are you just trying to get me to talk about myself? Because if you are... ''(Cheerfully)'' I WILL GLADLY DO SO!
-->'''Moana:''' Huh?
-->'''Tamatoa:''' [[ThatRemindsMeOfASong In song form!]]"

-->'''Tamatoa:''' ''(grabs the "heart", looking at it with glee as theatrical music is swelling)'' Yes! I have the-wait a minute... ''(the music halts, and time doesn't seem to move as Tamatoa talks)'' Augh! Oh, I see. She's taken a barnacle, and she's covered it in bioluminescent algae. As a diversion. ''(crushes the barnacle and time starts moving again)'' GRAAHH!

** The "being the chief's daughter equals princess" bit could be a playful TakeThat at the people who ask why Disney/{{Pocahontas}} is part of the official Franchise/DisneyPrincess lineup and Moana's reply about that not counting could be a little SelfDeprecation on Disney's part.

* Maui tries shape-shifting again after re-acquiring his hook. His "Cha-hoo!" causes him to turn into...a small red fish that flops around pathetically on Tamatoa's shell. He gives a face of "Huh, this usually works the first time," so he does his war cry and flops up in the air, rapidly shapeshifting into (in quick succession) a shark, a bug, [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Sven]], a pig, and finally, his normal self.

* TheStinger: Tamatoa is still overturned and complains to the audience that they'd help him up "if [his] name was [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Sebastian and he had a cool Jamaican accent."]]

* Just the fact that Alan Tudyk, who's had big roles in [[Disney/WreckItRalph several]] [[Disney/{{Frozen}} recent]] [[Disney/BigHero6 Disney]] [[Disney/{{Zootopia}} movies]], is now playing the goofy animal sidekick.

** The AV Club's review summed Heihei up pretty well: not only is he TooDumbToLive, he's too dumb to ''[[IdiotHoudini die]]''.
*** Same goes for the WebOriginal/DoubleToasted review, where Korey Coleman more or less seconds the old man's motion.
-->'''Korey''': Y'all shouldn't [set him up for [=CMOFs=]]. Y'all should just make a Chick-Fil-A sandwich out of him, put him out of his misery.

'''WARNING: Administrivia/SpoilersOff applies to this page.

* Moana gets an ''extremely'' underage admirer [[PrecociousCrush trying to flirt with her]] during her dance class. [[spoiler:It's also the only time anybody tries anything romantic with her during the movie.]]

* [[spoiler: Though Grandma Tala's death scene is a sad affair, she tells Moana to "grab him by the ear" when she meets Maui. She does. One problem, however: Maui has SuperStrength and [[NoSell isn't fazed in the least]].]]

** Tamatoa's reaction after [[spoiler:Moana and Maui escape and he's knocked onto his back]] is to half-heartedly shout "Hey!" two times, then to ask "[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Did you like the]] [[VillainSong song]]?"

* The unamused look [[spoiler: Te Fiti]] gives Maui after [[spoiler: she becomes herself again]]. It's kind of a mid-way point between "Yeah...no" and "Are you serious right now?" She doesn't even have to say anything for Maui to become nervous.
-->'''Maui:''' [[spoiler: Te Fiti!]] ''[nervous laugh]'' Hey, I mean... how ya been?\\
[[spoiler: '''Te Fiti:''']] ''[gives a look that says [[spoiler: 'I've been a raging lava monster for a thousand years.]] How do you '''think''' I've been?']''

* TheStinger: [[spoiler:Tamatoa is still overturned and complains to the audience that they'd help him up "if [his] name was [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Sebastian and he had a cool Jamaican accent."]]]]

** "Are you just trying to get me to talk about myself? Because if you are...I WILL GLADLY DO SO! [[ThatRemindsMeOfASong In song form!]]" Even funnier is that this is EXACTLY what Maui's [[TimeForPlanB Plan B]] was, if the first distraction didn't work. [[WeUsedToBeFriends Maui and Tamatoa know each other REALLY well.]]
