History Funny / TheTwelveTasksOfAsterix

* Asterix's race with Asbestos the Greek. It gets so crazy so quickly that Asbestos literally turns ''into a rocket.'' It gets crazier, Rocket!Asbestos goes so fast, the background ends up shattering leaving nothing but a [[WhiteVoidRoom white void]]. What stops him? [[WatchOutForThatTree Hitting an apple tree]].

* Obelix Vs Mannenkenpix, the Chef of The Titans, who is legendary for his enormous meals that no mortal could possibly finish. It ends with the chef leaving, bawling his eyes out because Obelix ate ''every last'' crumb of food in the kitchen. Then Obelix complains that the chef left when he'd only had his ''starters''.

** The scene as a whole has [[NightmareFuel genuinely creepy imagery]], but it's [[{{Bathos}} punctuated]] by Asterix and Obelix being utterly unphased and talking to each other.

*** In more detail, Asterix sends the office workers on a wild goose chase for a made up form and sure enough they're the ones going mad. And when Asterix finally gets the proper permit from the head prefect, the man realizes what just happened and he finally goes mad himself.

-->'''Obelix:''' Are we really the rulers of Rome Asterix?\\

* Everything that happens in [[VastBureaucracy The-Place-That-Sends-You-Mad]]. Especially Obelix's [[DrivenToMadness mental breakdown]] and when Asterix outsmarts the place's office drones (which also counts as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for Asterix).

* Asterix versus Iris. He defeats him by distracting him with comments about how useful his glowing eyes must be for reading in the dark, and gets him to hypnotise ''himself'' into thinking he's a boar.

* Cylindric the German, from the huge door for a small guy, to his funny accent, to [[HumanKnot how he's defeated.]]

* Asterix and Obelix give up on walking in an invisible tightrope and just jump into a crocodile-filled river, with funny music playing as the reptiles are thrown onto that same rope

* The Cave of the Beast segment: Asterix and Obelix have to get out of the titular place alive, which houses [[EldritchAbomination a creature nobody ever saw and came back to tell the tale]]. Cue a series of creepy and surreal moments, until they finally get at the threshold of the Beast's cave... [[MoodWhiplash and immediately we switch to a typical bright Roman town]]. Asterix and Obelix just get out of a sewer grate and sit next to Caius Tiddlus, the clerk who's accompanying them on their journey, who's already waiting for them in a tavern. The kicker comes when Tiddlus asks them what the Beast was like...

* Asterix's race with Asbestos the Greek. It gets so crazy so quickly that Asbestos literally turns ''into a rocket.'' It gets crazier, Rocket!Asbestos goes so fast, the background ends up shattering leaving nothing but a [[WhiteVoidRoom white void]]. What stops him? [[EpicFail Hitting an apple tree]].

* Asterix pulling an unwilling but nonetheless awesome instance of TalkingTheMonsterToDeath with the ghost Centurion after reaching his RageBreakingPoint with all the crap he's had to put up with during the whole day. He basically acts like the ghost was a noisy neighbor who won't turn down his music, not even being scared or alluding to the fact that he's talking to a ''ghost''.

* Asterix and Obelix give up on walking in an empty tightrope and just jump into a crocodile-filled river, with funny music playing as the reptiles are thrown into that same rope.

-->''Obelix:'' Are we really the rulers of Rome Asterix?
-->''Asterix:'' [[BreakingTheFourthWall Well sure Obelix. It's an animated movie, anything goes!]]
-->''Obelix:'' Anything goes? (And poof! Obelix is suddenly on the Island of Pleasure!)

It gets crazier, Rocket!Asbestos goes so fast, the background ends up shattering leaving nothing but a [[WhiteVoidRoom white void]]. What stops him? [[EpicFail Hitting an apple tree]]]].

* As usual, the Romans' attempt to conquer the village results in a brief, but utterly hilarious CurbStompBattle with the Romans on the receiving end. What makes the whole thing especially funny is that the centurion's discussion with one of the soldiers clearly implies that this is not their first attempt. [[ThisIsGonnaSuck They know it's gonna fail]], but Caesar's orders are to be followed, and they cling onto the thinnest thread of hope that [[TemptingFate maybe this time it will work.]]

* Obelix Vs Mannenkenpix, the Chef of The Titans, who is legendary for his enormous meals that no mortal could possibly finish. It ends with the chef leaving, bawling his eyes out because Obelix ate very morsel of food in the kitchen. Then Obelix complains that the chef left when he'd only had his starters.

** The whole thing is especially hilarious for any person who's ever been confronted to a daunting bureaucracy.

** Impedimenta is searching for something in her bag while being chased by a trident-wielding gladiator. She stops after pulling... a {{rolling pin|of doom}} out of it. Then she chases the gladiator back, bashing his butt with it doing so, and said gladiator runs in fear.

* At the beginning, the narrator wonders if the audience needs to be reintroduced to the famous member of Asterix's village (Gauls look very proud). When asking if anyone hasn't heard of the Gauls, dozens of hands go up (Gauls look very upset).
