[''running through a field''] THIS IS SOOOOO FUUUUUUN!\\

[''swinging from her hair around a tree''] WHOO-HOOOOOOOOO! BEST! DAY! EVER!\\

** What's even better is [[ReversePsychology what follows]].

* Plenty of moments during the song “When Will My Life Begin”

** Rapunzel uses her hair to hoist herself into the air while she paints the walls. The funny part is the pose she's in while doing so, flat on her belly with one foot stuck ''waaaay'' out there. [=Spider-Man=] eat your heart out.

* Our introduction to Flynn Rider [[spoiler: aka Eugene Fitzherbert]]. He's in the middle of helping the Stabbington Brothers with a heist, and pauses to appreciate the view from the rooftop. Based on that alone, he decides he wants a castle.

* Gothel calls up to her daughter, “I'm not getting any younger down here!” One wonders how she managed not to even chuckle at that.

* The trio of thieves reach a dead-end and have to climb to safety. The brothers don't trust Flynn to go first while carrying the bag with the crown in it. When he calls them out on it, they have the most hilariously deadpan [[SilentSnarker “You think we were born yesterday?”]] looks on their faces.

* The “I've Got A Dream” sequence

*** For that matter, Hook-hand takes out his axe and approaches Rapunzel in what almost seems like murderous rage- then he looks off into the middle distance with eyes full of pure regret and says, “I had a dream, once.” Before chucking his axe into the wall just above the bar's accordion player. Without changing his expression at all.

*** Big-nose also uses the short, elderly ruffian a couple times during his verse, first as his “special little lady” in the row-boat, then as a cupid tied to a rope and flung around the room. During that second part, Shorty looks at the camera the entire time.
** As the song goes on, the “dreams” become significantly less traditionally manly, to the point that the stereotype loops all the way around into [[RealMenWearPink something else.]]

*** One of the thugs in the pub [[https://youtu.be/wcT-kyeo4es?t=188 does two salto's then jumps over Flynn and out a closed window]]. Apparently ''his'' dream was acrobatics/gymnastics.

---> '''Gothel:''' ''Where does that tunnel let out?''

----> '''Flynn:''' Oh, MAMA! I have ''got'' to get me one of ''these!''

* When Eugene and Rapunzel are going out on the lake, Eugene tosses Maximus a bag full of apples as thanks. Max is (rightfully) suspicious at first, but Eugene assures the horse that he bought the fruit. Max happily starts chowing down. Then, as the boat pulls away, Eugene can't help but yelling back, “''Most'' of them.” Maximus pauses and looks like he's having a serious moral crisis as the camera pans away from him.

* The movie managing to include the line, “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!” in a way that is simultaneously cheesy as heck while also genuinely heartfelt.

* Eugene returns from the dead and his first words are, "Did I ever tell you [[spoiler: I've got a thing for brunettes]]?" Doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.

'''KLONG''' [''Rapunzel bashes him in the head with the frying pan for a third time'']
Flynn's really gonna get a concussion after getting hit in the head so often with a frying pan, huh?

--->'''Rapunzel:''' I've got a ''person'' in my ''closet!'' Too weak to handle myself, huh, Mother? ''[chuckles and [[GunTwirling twirls her frying pan]]]'' Tell that to my frying pan. ''[accidentally whacks herself in the head with it]''

** Pascal climbs onto Flynn's shoulder and attempts to wake him up so they can question him... by slapping Flynn in the face with his tail. Then poking him with it. And when that fails? He gives Flynn ''the mother of all "wet willies"'' -- '''''with his tongue.'''''

* Rapunzel's [[MoodSwinger little rejoicing/crying episodes]] after leaving the tower with Flynn, done as a series of rapid fire {{Gilligan Cut}}s. Helped, of course, by Flynn standing in the background utterly deadpan. You really get the impression it's happening as fast for him as it is for us.

*** Followed by Maximus' expression, and snort, of ''utter'' disappointment because "Aw, damn, it's just some random woman instead of the thief I'm hunting for."

---->'''Flynn:''' Is that blood in your mustache? Hey Goldie, ''look at all the blood'' in his mustache! Good sir, that's a ''lot'' of blood!

*** He's not the only one; Pascal finds himself next to some of the pub's ''rats'', who are also bobbing to the tune of the song. The way he just kind of awkwardly shifts away from them is even better.

*** That last one is extra hilarious because the movie came out before the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Brony]] fandom even became known to the world at large, the show was only a couple months old at that point!

--->'''Flynn:''' Sorry, boys, I don't sing.''(swords point at him from everywhere)'' ''[[GilliganCut I've got dreams like you. No, really! / Though much less touchy-feely...]]''

---> '''Gothel:''' ''Where does that tunnel lead out?''

** When Rapunzel talks Maximus down and gets him to sit calmly, the camera pans up to show Pascal atop Rapunzel's head--the look on Pascal's face (along with the ways he motions his claws), it seems like he's saying "Cool it, dude."

** The two then get into a shoving match worthy of the greatest SiblingRivalry (all that was missing was "I'm not touching youuuuuuuu!"), only to stop when Pascal points at them with a DeathGlare from on top of Rapunzel's head. The two reluctantly straighten up... and give each other one last spiteful elbow-nudge for good measure.

** Shorty goes outside after the guards leave and starts hitting on Gothel, while clearly drunk, saying, "Somebody get me a glass, cause I've just found me a tall drink of water!" Though denying the compliment, [[VainSorceress Gothel clearly acts flattered]]. Then she sticks a dagger under his nose.
---> '''Shorty:''' ''Knife.''

'''KLONG''' [''Rapunzel hits him in the head with the frying pan for a third time'']
Flynn's really gonna get a concussion after being bashed so much on the head so often with a frying pan, huh?

'''KLONG'''

* Considering tha Byron Howard previously made {{WesternAnimation/Bolt}} and would eventually go on to work {{WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph}} and {{WesternAnimation/Zootopia}}, it's not all that surprising to see moments like these in this movie. In fact, this is often considered one of Disney's funniest movies.

--->''"OK, now they're just being mean."

* Rapunzel casually reveals that being so isolated has given her time to study and become an expert in many things, as hinted earlier by her numerous hobbies. But the cherry on top is her showing off that she's managed to learn ''astronomy'', creating completely accurate star charts and even discovering her own constellations based on forest animals she's seen. She's even correctly charted the movements of several planets, the moon, and seems to recognize that the solar system is heliocentric. Basically, Rapunzel is hella smart and the movie never really addresses it.

** [[http://i.imgur.com/rOLDvVc.gif Rapunzel trying to hide in a mound of her own hair]]. It's as funny as it is ''[[{{Adorkable}} ador(k)able]]''.

* The RunningGag of Flynn being upset about the way his wanted poster can never get the nose right. It starts off fairly reasonable, but by the end has reached [[GagNose Pinocchio]] levels.

* When the guard captain chasing Flynn yells orders to his men, his horse Maximus screams at the other horses, seemingly repeating the orders for the sake of the dumber animals.

* Flynn take refuge in Rapunzel's tower and has just enough time to open the satchel and admire the crown before getting beaned in the head with a frying pan.
** There's something incredibly funny about the way she ''first'' brains him with a frying pan and ''then'', once he's unconscious, squeaks in terror and runs and hides.

** Rapunzel examines Flynn's face further, with the camera zooming in and the music sounding romantic... And then he opens one eye and she hits him ''even harder'' with the frying pan, the “''BWONG''” sound echoing through the tower.

--->'''Rapunzel:''' I've got a ''person'' in my ''closet!'' Too weak to handle myself, huh, Mother? ''[chuckles and [[GunTwirling twirls her frying pan]]]'' Tell that to my frying pa-- ''[accidentally whacks herself in the head with it]''

* The “Interrogation and Negotiation” scene
** Pascal climbs onto Flynn's shoulder and attempts to wake him up so they can question him... by slapping Flynn in the face with his tail. Then poking him with it. And when that fails? He gives Flynn a "wet willy" with his ''tongue.''

*** His face during the second half of that is the DreamworksFace.

** Flynn's reaction to hearing Rapunzels name:

'''CLANG'''

** “The only thing I want to do with your hair? Is to get out of it! ''Literally!''”

[''admiring some flowers''] That's okay, I mean what she doesn't know won't kill her, right?\\

** As he attempts to “comfort” Rapunzel, Pascal climbs onto Flynn's shoulder. Without even looking or changing expression, he brushes the chameleon off like a piece of lint.

*** Keeping in mind this all happened immediately following the most triumphant reprise of “When Will My Life Begin” possible.

* A bush starts rustling, and Rapunzel jumps onto Flynn's back, panicking about the possibility of “ruffians” and “thugs”. As the page image shows... it was a fluffy rabbit.

-->'''Rapunzel:''' I ''do'' like ducklings...\\

*** About halfway through the verse, Flynn steals one of Vladimir's ceramic unicorns and darts away with it...leaving Vladimir sitting with an expression that slowly goes from "the hell just happened..?" to "oh no you ''didn't!''"

---->'''Flynn:''' YOU SHOULD KNOW- THAT THIS IS THE ''STRANGEST'' THING I HAVE ''EVER'' DONE!\\

* Meta, but... who would've expected that [[Series/{{Chuck}} Chu]][[Creator/ZacharyLevi ck]] could sing like that? [[note]]Musical theatre fans, probably. People who have seen him in ''Theatre/SheLovesMe'' prior to watching ''Tangled'', definitely.[[/note]]

** Eugene then lands on Maximus' back, revealing it was the horse who planned the whole escape. Flynn is so moved he begins a spiel about how maybe the two of them have just been misunderstanding each other this whole time...only to be cut off when Maximus gives him a look that clearly reads [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Kjfijsnnfidjslaisheeidjncjfocpalaanfajsficfa_4928.png "Cut the B-S, Rider, I had you pegged from the start and you know it."]]

*** Max's face also screams: [[SkewedPriorities you want to talk about this]] ''[[SkewedPriorities right now?]]''

*** That last line is also extra hilarious because Rapunzel at this point yet doesn't like Flynn at all, something he himself is aware of.... So with "everyone", Flynn is not just referring to the Stabbingtons, the guards and Maximus, but to Rapunzel as well...

* Rapunzel casually reveals that being so isolated has given her time to study and become an expert in many things, as hinted earlier by her numerous hobbies. But the cherry on top is her showing off that she's managed to learn ''astronomy'', creating completely accurate star charts and even discovering her own constellations based on forest animals she's seen. She's even correctly charted the movements of several planets, the moon, and seems to recognize that the solar system is heliocentric, which is beyond the understanding of the average medieval-era person. Basically, Rapunzel is hella smart and the movie never really addresses it.

** “The only ting I want to do with your hair? Is to get out of it! ''Literally!''”

* Rapunzel reunites with her birth parents and they're hugging it out. Eugene stands politely but awkwardly off to the side. Then the Queen offers Eugene her hand and he takes it, expecting a shake... only to be forcefully yanked into the family hug.

* Meta, but... who would've expected that [[Series/{{Chuck}} Chu]][[Creator/ZacharyLevi ck]] could sing like that?

** Dressmaking has Pascal, with a disgruntled expression being fitted with a copy of Rapunzel's dress.

** All this means that Rapunzel suddenly goes from being the target of everyone's menacing attention to being utterly ignored and trying to get their attention in frustration while they all focus on trying to grab Flynn. At one point, she can be heard indignantly yelling out "Ruffians!" like she thinks it's their official job description rather than a term of abuse.

--->''Taur would like to quit and be a florist''\\

** And then after Rapunzel forces them to agree to a truce. As Rapunzel steps away drawn by the bells, Maximus sucker-punches (sucker-kicks?) Eugene in the gut. The thief drops and Max grins with pure satisfaction.

** And then there's the beautiful, ''beautiful'', perfectly delivered sucker-punch (sucker-kick?) Maximus gives Eugene immediately after agreeing to a truce.

---->'''Flynn:''' Ha! You guys should see your faces, because you look—\\
[''slams stomach-first into a jutting post and folds up around it, wheezing'']\\
'''Flynn:''' ...Ridiculous.
