History Funny / RevengeOfTheSith

* When Anakin walks in on Mace Windu backing Palpatine into a corner in attempt to arrest him after discovering he is the Sith Lord they've been searching for, the latter still tries keep up the "innocent senator" facade to persuade Anakin to help him. When Windu tells him that he's lost, however, this instantly angers Palpatine enough to drop the act and engage in full-on EvilIsHammy mode. [[{{Narm}} This moment may not have been intended to be funny]], but the comedic timing is ''pure gold:''

When Windu tells him that he's lost, however, this instantly angers Palpatine enough to drop the act and engage in full-on EvilIsHammy mode:

-->'''Mace Windu:''' The oppression of the sith will never return. You... Have ''lost.''

-->'''Palpatine:''' [[LittleNo No...]] ''[[EvilSoundsRaspy NOOO,]]'' '''''[[RuleOfThree NOOOOO...]]''''' '''''YOU WILL DIE!!!'''''

-->'''Obi-Wan:''' ''(wakes up)'' Uh... Wha! Ah! '';Clutches Anakin for dear life)''\\

* It's easy to forget in the heat of things, but [[FridgeBrilliance Fridge Humor]] applies for Dooku's corpse that was left lying on the floor of ''The Invisible Hand's'' observation deck... juuussssttt before the ship gets shot out of space, rights itself, starts falling out of space again (this time for good), and then breaks in half. The body (and head) of the refined and sophisticated founder, leader and champion of the Confederacy of Independent Systems was probably being flung around like a ragdoll.

* Another moment in the novelization. General Grievous subscribes to the school of YouHaveFailedMe management, and he has an even smaller tolerance for failure than Darth Vader. Eventually leading to when he gets fed up with one last panicking crew member... and then realizes he just killed the last of his bridge crew. A smaller moment in the same vein as this is Grievous [[BadBoss killing his senior gunnery officer]] for a [[DisproportionateRetribution relatively petty reason]], and then turning to the junior gunnery officer and telling him "Congratulations. You just got promoted. Take your post." [[OhCrap The poor guy can't even stammer out a complete sentence]].

** Even funnier - where did the sink come from? Is it the kitchen sink... or the ''bathroom'' sink? Either the star-cruiser has had its kitchen blown up... ''or someone exploded the crapper!''

'''Obi-Wan:''' ''(reflexively activates his lightsaber, but immediately deactivates it once he realizes who's there)'' Oh, it's you.

''[Obi-Wan and Anakin pause and look behind them]''\\

''[Anakin and Obi-Wan slice the battle droids to bits.]''
* R2-D2 [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomping]] two super battle droids.

''[Dooku flips over the railing and lands away from the Jedi. He begins walking towards them.]''\\

** Also, the DramaticIrony of Obi-Wan telling ''Palpatine'' that "Sith Lords are their speciality." You can almost hear Palpatine thinking, "Oh, really?"

* Once Anakin and Palpatine start to leave:

-->'''Obi-Wan:''' [wakes up] Uh... Wha! Ah! ''[Clutches Anakin for dear life]''\\

''[Cut to an elevator heading straight for them.]''
** Even better? Anakin told R2 to activate that elevator a couple of minutes ago, and promptly whips out his comlink to get R2 to shut it back down.

'''Obi-Wan:''' ''[clearly incredulous]'' Patience?\\

''[battle droids show up]''\\
'''Super Battle Droid:''' Don't move. ''[gets zapped]'' OW! ''[kick]''\\

-->'''Obi-Wan:''' ''[obviously winded]'' Another happy landing.

** The whole post-battle conversation is amusing in that Obi Wan is telling Anakin that today he gets to be the poster boy for the Republic's latest victory, while Anakin tries to downplay his heroism. It becomes clear that while Obi Wan respects Anakin, he's mainly buttering Anakin up so that the butt-kissing politicians have someone to schmooze over while Obi high-tails it out of there.

-->'''Palpatine:''' Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and ''[[SarcasmMode so wise]]''...''["Yeah, right"]'' Unfortunately, ''["lol"]'' he taught his apprentice everything he knew, ''["What an idiot"]'', then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. ''["What the hell else did he expect?"]'' Ironic... ''["That was fun"]''

-->'''General Grievous:''' I am sending you to the Mustafar system in the Outer Rim. It is a [[LethalLavaLand volcanic planet]]. [[BlatantLies You will be safe there.]]

--->'''Palpatine''': ''[politely]'' Master Yoda! ''[grumbling]'' You survived.

-->'''Anakin''': [[NeverMyFault YOU TURNED HER AGAINST ME!]]\\
''Prolonged {{Beat}} as Obi-Wan blatantly stares at Padmé's strangled and unconscious body mere feet away with a "The hell is he talking about?" expression.''\\
'''Obi-Wan''': You have done that yourself.

* There is also the longer version of them taking the elevator.

'''Palpatine:''' These are unstable times for the Republic, Anakin. Some see instability as an opportunity. Senator Amidala is hiding something. ''[Almost sing-song. Ish.]'' I can see it in her eyes.\\

-->'''Obi-wan:''' Oooooh, Ihaveabadfeelinabouthi--!

* In the novelization, after Grievous tells Obi-Wan that he was [[MemeticMutation trained in his Jedi arts by Count Dooku]], Obi-Wan has this gem of a line:
-->'''Obi-Wan:''' Oh, you must mean Darth Tyranus. What a curious coincidence. I trained the man who killed him.

** [[HilariousInHindsight And would you know it, Anakin was on to something.]] [[note]] The three of them would die on the Death Star [[Film/ANewHope 19 years]] (for Obi-Wan) and [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi 23 years]] (for Palpatine and Anakin) later. Though Palpatine does cheat death there in both [[Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker Canon]] and [[ComicBook/DarkEmpire Legends]]. [[/note]]

'''Obi-Wan:''' ''[defensively]'' I didn't say anything!

-->'''Battle Droid:''' Hands up, Jedi!\\
''[Anakin, hanging by his hands inside an elevator shaft, gives the two Battle Droids an "Are you serious?" look]''
* There is also:

* It's easy to forget in the heat of things, but Dooku's corpse was left lying on the floor of ''The Invisible Hand's'' observation deck... juuussssttt before the ship gets shot out of space, rights itself, starts falling out of space again (this time for good), and then breaks in half. The body (and head) of the refined and sophisticated founder, leader and champion of the Confederacy of Independent Systems was probably being flung around like a ragdoll.

** At the end of the battle, Yoda falls to the ground while Sidious is left clinging to a floating podium. Believing Yoda fell to his death, Sidious belts out a hearty EvilLaugh... [[DelayedReaction Before realizing that he's suspended in the air]], hanging on the edge of the podium for dear life, [[OhCrap causing him to yelp and cry out hilariously as he struggles to climb back up]].

* Palpatine informing Nute Gunray and the other members of the Separatist Council that his new apprentice, Darth Vader, will be arriving soon to "take care of them." If the double meaning was intentional (and let's face it, it probably is) Palpatine has a [[BlackComedy warped sense of humor]].

** He may be an OmnicidalManiac, but Palpatine shows he knows how to have fun while throwing Senate seats at Yoda. He's cackling all the time, and even when Yoda finally stops one seat out of the many Palpatine has thrown at him, the Sith Lord chuckles, as if to say "oh, that's cute".

** This is also funnier in the novel, with Anakin TemptingFate by assuring Obi-wan that they can easily take out a security patrol made of "those skinny useless little battle droids". This is immediately followed by the arrival of "four of those skinny useless battle droids" - and eight destroyer droids, sixteen super battle droids, and two of Grievous' custom-designed, Jedi-killing [=MagnaGuard=] droids.

* When Palpatine tells about how Plagueis died (courtesy of him), you can almost hear his thoughts:

* A small and unintentional one. When it is time to execute Order 66, Commander Cody received that order just ''a few seconds after'' he returned Obi-Wan his lightsaber. His thoughts were probably complaining about how contrived the timing of this is. He even lampshades it for real in the novelisation:

* Yoda's subtle [[OffhandBackhand flick of his wrist]] to effortlessly knock out the two Royal Guards with TheForce as he enters Palpatine's office while not even breaking his stride doubles as a Funny SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. On the DVD Commentary, they claim that this was ''not'' intended to be a humorous moment. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si7DyyJ1CaU Of course not]].

* There's a [[FunnyBackgroundEvent moment]] in the Obi-Wan vs Anakin fight that's actually pretty funny, and it's completely silent. While Anakin and Obi-Wan are squaring off on a [[InterestingSituationDuel very thin pipe]], one of the lava-collecting droids pops up. It looks at Anakin, then Obi-Wan, then pauses for a second. As if thinking "No way in hell is dealing with ''this'' part of my job description", it immediately flies away.

* In a meta way, Anakin and Padmé desperately attempting to hide their relationship from Obi-Wan, and Anakin insisting that they can't tell Obi-Wan about it...when the theatrical films and ''The Clone Wars'' imply, and the EU states outright, that Obi-Wan ''already knew the whole time.'' And so did Captain Panaka. And Palpatine. And Rex. And Ahsoka. And Bail Organa. And then there's all of Padme's staff (minus 3PO, presumably). It's even implied that ''Mace Windu'' suspected something. [[SarcasmMode Great job keeping it a secret, guys!]]

** It gets even funnier. In the novelization, as part of his manipulation, Palpatine claims Obi-Wan was seen leaving a Senator’s (Padme’s) apartment at an unseemly hour. Anakin (bless his heart) immediately assumes Obi-Wan was sleeping with a different ([[AmbiguouslyGay male]]) senator. It also counts as a heartwarming moment, as he trusts Padme and Obi-Wan so much they’re the last people he'd assume will betray him, and a tearjerker as he falls victim to Palpatine’s manipulations.

-->'''General Grievous:''' I am sending you to the Mustafar system in the Outer Rim. It is a [[LethalLavaLand volcanic planet]] [[BlatantLies You will be safe there.]]

* The novelization has a number of darkly funny moments whenever [[AxeCrazy Grievous]] is forced to put up with [[DirtyCoward Nute Gunray]]. Most notably: "Grievous resisted his natural inclination, which was to boot the Viceroy so high he'd burn up on reentry."

-->'''General Grievous:''' I am sending you to the Mustafar system in the Outer Rim. It is a volcanic planet which generates a great deal of scanning interference. You will be safe there.
** What the line actually sounds like when delivered during the movie...
-->'''General Grievous:''' I am sending you to the Mustafar system in the Outer Rim. It is a [[LethalLavaLand volcanic planet]] ''[inaudible]'' [[BlatantLies You will be safe there.]]

'''Male Senator:''' ''Surely'', you--\\

-->'''Obi Wan:''' Let's face it. Today ''you'' were the hero, and you deserve your [[SarcasmMode glorious day among politicians]].

-->'''Palpatine:''' Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and ''[[SarcasmMode so wise]]''... Unfortunately, ''["lol"]'' he taught his apprentice everything he knew, ''["What an idiot"]'', then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. ''["What the hell else did he expect?"]'' Ironic... ''["That was fun"]''

* It's easy to forget in the heat of things, but Dooku's corpse was left lying on the floor of ''The Invisible Hand's'' observation deck... juuussssttt before the ship gets shot out of space, rights itself, starts falling out of space again (this time for good), and then breaks in half.

*** Heck, in the Legends novel ''Wild Space,'' the '''very first thing''' Yoda does after the Jedi return from Geonosis is to tell Obi-Wan he has to go over to Padme's apartment and tell them to knock it off[[note]] Obi-Wan and Yoda were ''right there'' when she ran over to Anakin and threw her arms around him after the duel with Dooku. In the novel, she [[BlatantLies promises Obi-Wan they'll end it]], and he's got enough on his mind that he takes her word for it [[/note]], which he does. Admittedly, it's unclear whether or not Yoda realized they were continuing afterwards.
