History Funny / ThorTheDarkWorld

* While most of the scene is a TearJerker, there's this after Thor and Loki [[spoiler:stop fighting after an argument concerning Frigga]]:

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpy22Yosp04 Loki makes use of his illusionary powers]] by turning Thor into Sif, [[spoiler:and afterwards turning ''himself'' into Film/{{Captain America|The First Avenger}}, whom he then proceeds to thoroughly take the mickey out of. Even the hilariously cheesy music from the [=WW2=] presentation makes a return. And on top of it all, Creator/ChrisEvans manages to nail a lot of Tom Hiddleston's mannerisms and inflection in his performance, which just makes it even funnier]].

[[spoiler:''[as they pass by the next column, Thor turns back into himself while Loki turns into Captain America]'']]\\
'''Loki:''' [[spoiler:''[in Creator/ChrisEvans' voice]'' Oh, this is ''much'' better! The costume's a bit much, so tight! But the confidence! I can feel the righteousness surging! Hey, want to have a rousing discussion about [[{{Eagleland}} truth? Honor? Patriotism? God bless Ameri--]]!]]\\
[[spoiler:''[Thor clamps a hand over his mouth to avoid being overheard by a guard]'']]
** It gets even better. Since [[spoiler:Chris Evans' delivery of the scene was added in digitally afterward]], Tom Hiddleston [[spoiler:wore the Captain America costume himself. Complete with a Chris Evans impression. Evans had to watch that before he was filmed as reference, and while filming [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQXduY16Zpo commented]] that "I spent over two years trying to not play Steve Rogers that over-the-top".]]
** From the deleted version itself, there's just something really funny from Creator/TomHiddleston in [[spoiler:Captain America's costume and commenting that the costume is so tight, then he claims that he can feel the righteousness and finally offering to give a RousingSpeech about truth, honor, and patriotism]].
** Extra funny, because it showed that [[spoiler:when Loki turned into Captain America,]] he also took on Chris Evans' voice, but when turning Thor into Lady Sif, was unable to give him Jaimie Alexander's voice (though in the deleted version, Alexander speaks with her own voice).

* Rewatch bonus: Easy to miss the first time, but [[spoiler:Loki as Odin sounds downright smug and ''gloating'' when he's saying goodbye to his "son" at the end. There's also the way he is [[SlouchOfVillainy quite obviously slouching in the throne]], something that is rather odd-looking for Odin.]]
-->'''Loki:''' [[spoiler:''Go!'' My ''son''.]]

'''Thor:''' Loki [[spoiler:is... dead.]]\\

'''Erik:''' ''[backtracking]'' [[spoiler:I-I'm so sorry]].

** Two fighter jets make an unintentional visit to Vanaheim when attempting to fire missiles at the Dark Elves' space ship. [[spoiler:They manage to return to Midgard just after the final battle none the worse for wear.]]

* After [[spoiler:Ian saves Darcy, a portal transports them to Erik and Jane... while they're locked in a passionate kiss. With, just to be clear, Darcy dipping Ian]].[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BRYKy6pr0o]]

* The return of a behemoth from Jotunheim. [[spoiler:Specifically the BrickJoke in TheStinger, where we see it trying to eat birds (and failing) in London. Seems like everybody forgot about it]].
** When it first bursts out, [[spoiler:on Earth, one of the dark elves chasing Darcy and Ian looks up at the roar, leaning away, and falls over mid-run.]]

* The ironic fact that, in the end, it's [[spoiler: ''Erik Selvig'' who actually scores the finishing blow on Malekith. ''By accident'', by blindly warping away the toppling dark elf ship, which crushes the battered-and-dismembered villain. And under circumstances such that '''nobody''' except the movie's audience will ever realize Erik did it!]]

** Loki's response? "[[YouGotSpunk I like her.]]"

* Algrim/Kurse punches a rocky outcropping and tosses it at Thor. [[IncrediblyLamePun Thor got Tor-ed!]]

* Loki's [[http://www.comicvine.com/images/1300-3000446/ new hairdo]]. However, it's [[FunnyAneurysmMoment less funny]] when the [[ExpositoryHairstyleChange context is clearer]].

And under circumstances such that '''nobody''' except the movie's audience will ever realize Erik did it.

* After Thor curb-stomps a [[RockMonster Kronan]]:
-->'''Thor:''' Anyone else?
** And then, just like that, the other creatures drop their weapons and surrender peacefully.

** Not to mention Sif's reaction to the arrival of the monster:

-->'''Thor:''' Return to your cells, no further harm will come to you. You have my word. ''[Marauder punches him]'' Very well, you do ''not'' have my word.

** Another passenger on the train also takes the opportunity to pull out her camera phone.

* Loki in his first scene, before Odin on his throne; he doesn't take anything seriously, and genuinely fails to understand that he did anything wrong.

'''Loki:''' Give or take five thousand years.

** For to twist the knife in the wound: The [[BilingualBonus Futhark]] (Nordic runes) [[FreezeFrameBonus engraved on Loki's manacles]] are about a certain [[{{Mjolnir}} hammer]]...
* What's Loki doing during the prison break? Calmly reading (and looking mildly annoyed about the distracting noise of the battle outside his cell).

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpy22Yosp04 Loki makes use of his illusionary powers]] by turning Thor into Sif, [[spoiler:and afterwards turning ''himself'' into Film/{{Captain America|The First Avenger}}, whom he then proceeds to thoroughly take the mickey out of.

Evans had to watch that before he was filmed as reference, and while filming [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQXduY16Zpo commented]] that "I spent over two years trying to not play Steve Rogers that over-the-top".]]

** Even funnier, the irony in British Tom Hiddleston's character (albeit in the form of Chris Evans) saying "God bless America!"

** Loki's response? "I like her."

'''Loki:''' ''[bored]'' You'll kill me? Evidently, there will be a line.

** Odin arrives, and compares Jane being in Asgard to a goat at a banquet table. Jane takes real offense to Odin comparing her to a goat.
--->'''Jane:''' Did he just...? Who do you think you are?!\\

* Heimdall [[SeenItAll nonchalantly dodging]] the chunk of car that comes through the Bifrost.

* After Selvig explains how the convergence will affect things, using shoes as props, the camera reveals he's talking to a group of asylum patients, at which point he follows up his explanation with [[StupidQuestionBait "Any questions?"]]. Creator/StanLee then asks if he can have his shoe back.

** The lady he asks [[CityOfWeirdos barely blinks at his appearance]] when she answers. This is followed by her bumping against Thor clearly on purpose and clearly just for the chance to, much like [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger Agent Carter to Steve Rogers]], sneak a grab at his heroic pecs. And judging by his expression, he ''knows'', and thinks it's funny.

-->'''Jane:''' Darcy?!\\

-->'''Thor:''' Darcy?!\\
'''Darcy:''' ''[surprised, she drops Ian]'' Jane?!\\
'''Eric:''' ''[disbelief]'' Ian?!\\
'''Ian:''' ''[embarrassed]'' Selvig?!\\
'''Darcy:''' ''[as Mjölnir rockets past the group looking for Thor]'' [[{{Callback}} Myeh-Myeh?]]

[[caption-width-right:350:Pictured: Thor casually talking with a RockMonster. The monstor has no idea.]]

** From the deleted version itself, there's just something really funny from Creator/TomHiddleston in [[spoiler:Captain America costume and commenting that the costume is so tight, then he claims that he can feel the righteousness and finally offering to give a RousingSpeech about truth, honor, and patriotism]].

** Not to mention Sif's reaction to the arrival of the monstor:
-->'''Sif:''' [''[[AsideGlance Looks at Thor]]''] All yours.

-->'''Loki:''' This is so unlike you, brother! Very clandestine! Are you sure you wouldn't rather just punch your way out?\\
'''Thor:''' If you keep talking, I just might.

-->'''Thor''': Anyone else?

-->'''Lady Sif''': I've got this completely under control!\\
'''Thor''': Is that why everything's on fire?

--->'''Sif''': ''[deadpan]'' You're welcome.

--->'''Sif''': Shouldn't you be battling trolls in Nornheim?\\
'''Thor''': I ran out of trolls.

-->'''Fandral:''' Perhaps next time, we should ''start'' with the big one?

-->'''Thor:''' I accept your surrender.

* While most of the scene is a TearJerker, there's this after Thor and Loki [[spoiler: stop fighting after an argument concerning Frigga]]:
-->'''Thor''': She wouldn't want us to fight.\\
'''Loki''': ...Well, she wouldn't exactly be shocked.

--> '''Loki:''' This is so unlike you, brother! Very clandestine! Are you sure you wouldn't rather just punch your way out?\\

[[spoiler: ''[as they pass by the next column, Thor turns back into himself while Loki turns into Captain America]'']]\\
'''Loki:''' [[spoiler: ''[in Creator/ChrisEvans' voice]'' Oh, this is ''much'' better! The costume's a bit much, so tight! But the confidence! I can feel the righteousness surging! Hey, want to have a rousing discussion about [[{{Eagleland}} truth? Honor? Patriotism? God bless Ameri--]]!]]\\

-->'''Loki:''' Hello, I'm Loki. You might have heard-...

-->'''Jane:''' ''[grinning excitedly]'' [[WasntThatFun We have to do that again!]] ''[sees Heimdall]'' Hi.
-->'''Heimdall:''' Welcome to Asgard.

--> '''Thor:''' I see nothing.\\

--->'''Fandral:''' It's as if they resent being imprisoned!\\

--> '''Darcy:''' It's okay! We're American!\\

-->'''Darcy:''' HOLY ''SHIT!''

'''Erik:''' [''backtracking''] [[spoiler:I-I'm so sorry]].
* During the final battle, portals start opening up everywhere. Thor and Malekith end up in several realms, Darcy and Ian end up all over London…

--->'''Jane:''' What are you all doing? You need to get out of here! Now!\\

--> '''Malekith:''' Let's go kill some Asgardians!

--> '''Loki:''' See, who needs a hammer? I pushed you over with my bare hands.

--> '''ANOTHER!'''

--> '''Eccleston''': That's what it says in Malekith the Accursed's diary. [[ButForMeItWasTuesday Tuesday: Destroyed Asgard.]]

** The little grins they exchange right after that edge into CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming territory.

** A bit earlier, Fandral and Volstagg react to the news of the riot:
--->'''Fandral:''' It's as if they resent being imprisoned!\\
'''Volstagg:''' There's no pleasing some creatures!
** And what's Loki doing during said prison break? Calmly reading (and looking mildly annoyed about the distracting noise of the battle outside his cell).

* After Thor curb-stomps a rock monster:

** Also notable is Thor's reaction to seeing the rock monster stomping towards him.
-->'''Thor''': I accept your surrender.

-->'''Loki''': You must've missed something. \\
'''Thor''': No, I didn't. I'm pressing every button on this thing. \\
'''Loki''': Then don't hit it, just press it gently. \\
'''Thor''': ''[hitting the buttons harder]'' I ''am'' pressing it gently! It's not ''working''!

* Possibly the biggest laugh of the entire movie: When Jane and Thor arrive back on Earth, Thor turns to look at the coat hooks... before hanging Mjolnir on one. Since Mjolnir doesn't rip it off the wall, we can assume that they were ''very'' worthy coat hooks.
** There's also something inherently funny about Thor, who is a prince dressed in full regalia, getting into a simple car and riding around with Jane in it rather than having a huge procession preceding him.
* While most of the scene is a TearJerker, there's this after Thor and Loki [[spoiler: stop fighting after an argument concerning Frigga]]:
-->'''Thor''': She wouldn't want us to fight.\\
'''Loki''': ...Well, she wouldn't exactly be shocked.
** The little grins they exchange right after that edge into CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming territory.
* During the prison break, Thor arrives and announces that he can guarantee their safety if they surrender. One creature attacks him... and Thor immediately takes back his words before hitting him.
-->'''Thor''': Return to your cells, no further harm will come to you. You have my word. ''[Marauder punches him]'' Very well, you do ''not'' have my word.
** A bit earlier, Fandral and Volstagg react to the news of the riot:
--->'''Fandral''': It's as if they resent being imprisoned!\\
'''Volstagg''': There's no pleasing some creatures!
** And what's Loki doing during said prison break? Calmly reading (and looking mildly annoyed about the distracting noise of the battle outside his cell).

[[folder:Loki Laufeyson]]

-->'''Loki''': ''[after montage of Thor hitting various things with his hammer]'' Hitting doesn't solve everything, brother.
* Loki in his first scene, before Odin on his throne; he doesn't take anything seriously, and genuinely fails to understand that he did anything wrong.
-->'''Frigga''': Loki, please, don't make this worse.\\
'''Loki''': Define worse?
** "It's not that I don't love our chats... It's just... [[ByNoIMeanYes I don't love them]]."
--->'''Odin:''' We are not gods. We're born, we live, we die. Just as humans do.\\
'''Loki:''' Give or take five thousand years.
** The facetious manner in which Loki clicks his heels together to stand at attention when he reaches Odin's throne.
** For to twist the knife in the wound: The [[BilingualBonus Futhark]] (Nordic runes) [[FreezeFrameBonus engraved on Loki's manacles]] are about a certain [[{{Mjolnir}} hammer]]...
* Loki being damn near ''giddy'' with delight immediately after Thor releases him from prison.
--> '''Loki''': This is so unlike you, brother! Very clandestine! Are you sure you wouldn't rather just punch your way out?\\
'''Thor''': If you keep talking, I just might.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpy22Yosp04 Loki makes use of his illusionary powers]] by turning Thor into Sif, [[spoiler:and afterwards turning ''himself'' into Film/{{Captain America|The First Avenger}}, whom he then proceeds to thoroughly take the mickey out of.

And on top of it all, Chris Evans manages to nail a lot of Tom Hiddleston's mannerisms and inflection in his performance, which just makes it even funnier]].
-->'''Loki''': ''[after turning Thor into Sif]'' Brother, you look ravishing.\\
'''Thor''': ''[with his normal voice]'' It will hurt no less when I kill you in this form.\\
'''Loki''': Very well. Perhaps you prefer one of your new companions, given that you seem to like them so much.\\
[[spoiler: ''[As they pass by the next column, Thor turns back into himself while Loki turns into Captain America]'']]\\
'''Loki''': [[spoiler: ''[in Creator/ChrisEvans' voice]'' Oh, this is ''much'' better! The costume's a bit much, so tight! But the confidence! I can feel the righteousness surging! Hey, want to have a rousing discussion about [[{{Eagleland}} truth? Honor? Patriotism? God bless Ameri--]]!]]\\
[[spoiler:''[Thor clamps a hand over his mouth to avoid being overheard by a guard]'']]
** It gets even better. Since [[spoiler: Chris Evans' delivery of the scene had to be added in digitally afterward]], Tom Hiddleston [[spoiler: wore the Captain America costume himself. Complete with a Chris Evans impression. Evans had to watch that before he was filmed as reference, and while filming [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQXduY16Zpo commented]] that "I spent over two years trying to not play Steve Rogers that over-the-top".]]

* And then, when Loki asks for his daggers back, Thor appears to give them to him... but then Loki stops smirking, holds up his hands and reveals that Thor actually handcuffed him. Thor's grin is ''priceless''.
-->'''Thor:''' I thought you liked tricks.

-->'''Loki''': I think you missed a column.\\
'''Thor''': ''Shut up.''\\

'''Loki''': Look, why don't you let ''me'' take over? I'm clearly the best pilot.\\
'''Thor''': Is that right? Well, out of the two of us, which one can actually fly?\\

'''Thor''': ''Not a word.''\\

'''Loki''': Now they're following us. ''[shots]'' Now they're ''firing'' at us!\\
'''Thor''': Yes, ''thank you'' for the commentary, Loki, [[SarcasmMode it's not at all distracting!]]\\

'''Loki''': Well done! You just decapitated your ''grandfather''.

--->'''Loki''': ''[deadpan]'' Tah-dah. ''[ship crashes]''
* This RunningGag:
-->'''Thor''': Betray me, and I will kill you.\\
'''Loki''': ''[nonchalantly]'' When do we start?\\
''[later]''\\
'''Lady Sif:''' Betray him, and I will kill you.\\
'''Loki:''' It's good to see you too, Sif.\\
''[later]''\\
'''Volstagg:''' If you even ''think'' about betraying him...\\
'''Loki:''' ''[bored]'' You'll kill me? Evidently, there will be a line.
* Rewatch bonus: Easy to miss the first time, but [[spoiler: Loki as Odin sounds downright smug and ''gloating'' when he's saying goodbye to his "son" at the end. There's also the way he is [[SlouchOfVillainy quite obviously slouching in the throne]], something that is rather odd-looking for Odin.]]

--->'''Thor''': Jane... I know... ''[trails off]''\\
'''Jane''': ''[not really listening]'' You do?\\
'''Thor''': ...I do what?\\
'''Jane''': ...What?

--->'''Jane''': Did he just...? Who do you think you are?!\\
'''Odin''': I am Odin. King of Asgard. Protector of the Nine Realms.\\
'''Jane''': ...Oh.

--> '''Thor''': [[ComicallyMissingThePoint It's not me.]]

--->'''Thor''': So who's Richard?\\
'''Jane''': ''[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Really?]]''

-->'''Jane''': ''[grinning excitedly]'' [[WasntThatFun We have to do that again!]] ''[sees Heimdall]'' Hi.

* A bit of classic comics style Warriors Three banter that's barely audible when Algrim is infiltrating Asgard disguised as a prisoner.
-->'''Volstagg''': Escorting these scoundrels is beneath us.\\
'''Fandral''': Nonsense, my rotund friend. If they were beneath you, they would all be dead!

* Heimdall [[SeenItAll nonchalantly dodging]] the chunk of car that comes through the Bifrost.

--> '''Thor''': I see nothing.\\

-->'''Frigga''': I need you to come with me and do exactly as I say. No questions.\\
'''Jane''': ''[unhesitatingly]'' Yes, ma'am.

-->'''Odin''': Despite all I have survived, my queen still worries for me.\\
'''Frigga''': ''[matter-of-factly]'' It is only because I worry for you that you have survived.

-->'''Fandral''': I see your time in the dungeon has made you no less graceful, Loki.

--> '''Darcy''': It's okay! We're American!\\
'''Jane''': [[SelfDeprecation Is that supposed to make them like us?]]

-->'''Darcy''': ....Typical.

--->'''Darcy''': Look at you. ''[pokes Thor]'' Still all muscly and everything. So how's space?\\
'''Thor''': Space is fine.

--->'''Erik''': Your brother's not coming, is he?\\
'''Thor''': Loki's [[spoiler:dead.]]\\
'''Erik''': Oh, thank God!\\
'''Thor''': ...\\
'''Erik''': [''backtracking''] [[spoiler:I-I'm so sorry]].
* A literal BrickJoke: when the group discover the portals, they throw a brick into one of them, and it doesn't come back. Then later, when Jane wakes up from being unconscious, the brick appears of out nowhere and lands in the background.
** Ian ends up throwing something into them... which don't come back. Darcy asks flatly, "Were those the car keys?" They were.
** Another BrickJoke: Darcy asks for one of Jane's shoes to throw in, and after Jane wanders off she asks Ian for one of his. Later, when Thor and Jane are in the cave, Thor asks, "Why are there so many shoes in here?"

** Jane and Erik try to evacuate the naval college, but everyone is just watching the battle:
--->'''Jane''': What are you all doing? You need to get out of here! Now!\\
'''Bystander''': You're joking, right? That's Thor out there! He's waving his hammer around and everything!
** After [[spoiler: Ian saves Darcy, a portal transports them to Erik and Jane... while they're locked in a passionate kiss. With, just to be clear, Darcy dipping Ian]].[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BRYKy6pr0o]]

--->'''Jane''': Darcy?!\\
'''Darcy''': ''[surprised, she drops Ian]'' Jane?!\\
'''Eric''': ''[disbelief]'' Ian?!\\
'''Ian''': ''[embarrassed]'' Selvig?!\\
'''Darcy''': ''[as Mjölnir rockets past the group looking for Thor]'' [[{{Callback}} Myeh-Myeh?]]

* After Selvig explains how the convergence will affect things, using shoes as props, the camera reveals he's talking to a group of asylum patients, at which point he follows up his explanation with [[StupidQuestionBait "Any questions?"]]. Creator/StanLee then asks if he can have his shoe back.
** Wait for the credits; Stan is credited as "Himself".

--> '''Malekith''': Let's go kill some Asgardians!
* As Selvig and Jane walk fast through a library, Selvig's shoes are sqeaking loud. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent A bystander turns and shushes them.]]

--> '''Loki''': See, who needs a hammer? I pushed you over with my bare hands.

* As Thor finally reappears for Jane, she ''slaps'' him in the face because she "[[GenreSavvy wanted to make sure he was real, because it's been a very strange day]]." And then when she realizes he's real... she slaps him ''again''. Judging by Thor's expression, it felt like nothing more than a tap to him.

** Even better: The [[BilingualBonus Futhark]] (Nordic runes) [[FreezeFrameBonus engraved on the manacles]] are about a certain [[{{Mjolnir}} hammer]]...

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpy22Yosp04 Loki makes use of his illusionary powers]] by turning Thor into Sif, [[spoiler:and afterwards turning ''himself'' into Film/{{Captain America|The First Avenger}}.

-->'''Thor''': Return to your cells, no further harm will come to you. You have my word. ''(Marauder punches him)'' Very well, you do ''not'' have my word.

* When Loki falls into the boat face-first, Fandral reacts as casually as though he walked in through a door.
