History Funny / SavingMrBanks

* The interactions between Ms.Travers and the Sherman Brothers push this film towards a comedy. the stark contrast between the personalities really makes for some very humorous moments. her dry wit at their expense.

* Travers' reaction to the Disney character plush dolls in her room, especially the Franchise/WinnieThePooh doll.

* Everything involving Walt taking Travers on a trip to [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disneyland.]] Turns out he had a bet to see if he could get Travers onto a ride, and he won $20.

** Robert: "Yup!"

** Travers: "Are you suggesting that Mrs. Banks is a neglectful mother?"
-Richard Sherman and Degradi hem and haw-
Robert: "Yup!"

** -Richard Sherman and Degradi hem and haw-
** Robert: "Yup!"

* Disney's poor naive secretary tries her best with Mrs. Travers but is always the butt of her barbs; "If you even think about bringing that in here I shall scream!"

* Anything involving the giant Mickey plush. Particularly near the end [[spoiler:as you discover she's taken it home and has it sitting at her kitchen table]].

** Also counts as a {{Tearjerker}}.

* A meta-example: Although the reason for it ends up being quite sad [[spoiler:(her father coughing up blood in the days before his death)]], Travers's insistence that she wants the color red to feature nowhere in the film ("I'm just anti-red, I don't know why!") becomes hilarious when you re-watch ''Film/MaryPoppins'' and see just how often red ends up featuring prominently in it (particularly Mary's dress during the chimney-sweep rooftop sequence).

* Although it comes at a fairly serious moment; [[spoiler: Travers sees a sketch of the penguin sequence in "Jolly Holiday" and wonders how Disney will be able to train the penguins to dance. Being the only person not to know that Travers specifically requested no animation be in the film, Richard Sherman says the penguins are going to be animated. Cue OhCrap expressions by Don Degradi and Robert Sherman. When Travers storms off to Walt Disney's office, Richard says to the others, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint "What? Are they to use real penguins?"]]]]

-->'''Travers:''' I won't have her turned into one of your silly cartoons.
-->'''Walt:''' Says the woman who sent a flying nanny with a talking umbrella to save the children.

* When TheShermanBrothers perform Bert's "comical poem" for Travers, she objects at the made-up word "responstable" (rhyming with "constable") and tells them to "un-make it up". The brothers then sheepishly hide the sheet music to "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" in their papers.
