Context Funny / Paddington2

Go To

1* Paddington using two electric toothbrushes to [[CallBack scrub the insides of his ears]].
2* Paddington telling Mr. Brown that he looks good for a man his age. Mr. Brown is flattered. ...Until he processes the words "[[DamnedByFaintPraise A man your age]]" and asks the young bear how old he thinks he is. Paddington [[InnocentlyInsensitive guesses]] Mr. Brown is 80 years old.
3* Paddington going to Mr. Gruber's shop to find Aunt Lucy's gift. Mr. Gruber suggests a toy monkey, while Paddington, [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext wearing a fruit hat and Groucho Marx glasses (with the nose)]], [[HypocriticalHumor tells Mr. Gruber to be serious]].
4* Paddington's first job, at a barber shop. The whole scene.
5** His trying to use an electric clipper.
6** He accidentally shaves off a big chunk of the patron's hair.
7*** Comes back to bite him as a BrickJoke when the patron turns out to be the Judge at Paddington's trial.
8* Following the Barbershop scene, Paddington casually asks Mr. Brown if he's ever been fired before.
9* His next job is washing windows along the street. After a mishap regarding his water bucket earlier, he smacks into a sliding glass door, alerting his client to his presence. Paddington calmly keeps looking at him and [[ParodiedTrope starts scrubbing the glass]] [[HotMenAtWork with his suds-coated body.]]
10* While doing the prison laundry, Paddington accidentally mixes a red sock with some white laundry. Although [[OhCrap worried]] at first, Paddington then shrugs it off and [[TemptingFate wonders how bad it could be]]. It turns out, that laundry was for ''all the prison mates' outfits''... And he turned them pink.
11* Paddington trying prison food for the first time.
12-->'''Phibs:''' It's not as bad as it looks.\
13(''Paddington tries the food and promptly spits it out'')\
14'''Phibs:''' [[ExactWords It's worse]].
15* When Paddington makes up his mind to talk to Knuckles about changing the menu, the guard radios for a medic. Later, when Paddington tries Knuckle's patience, the guard changes his mind and radios for a '''priest'''.
16** Naturally, Paddington only ended up trying Knuckles' patience [[InnocentlyInsensitive by accident]]. When Knuckles sarcastically remarks that he "loves it when people complain", Paddington took his claim seriously and stated how bad the menu was, which included hitting him across the head with a baguette (to demonstrate how unpalatably hard it was) and squirting ketchup on his clothes (albeit the latter was an accident). These actions in turn prompt gasps from the other inmates (with one silently making the Sign of the Cross) whilst Paddington tries to remove the ketchup stain, first by rubbing it off to no affect and then squirting ''mustard'' on it, only to find it didn't remove ketchup stains as he initially thought. He then turns to ask the inmates if they know how to remove the stain...only to find they are all hiding under the tables.
17* Paddington trying to make marmalade (with no help from Knuckles). When all the sacks of oranges land on Paddington, he remarks that they're very heavy. Knuckles gruffly advises "Then move them one at a time". He returns to reading his newspaper while waiting for Paddington to make marmalade. Then, he hears Paddington move the oranges "[[ExactWords one [orange] at a time]]". The way he slowly looks up from his newspaper is what really sells it.
18* When Knuckles [[BerserkButton insults Paddington's Aunt Lucy]], Paddington gives him a DeathGlare. For a cynical man, Knuckles is [[NotSoAboveItAll outright intimidated by it]].
19* The return of Barry (the guard at the church)[[note]]played by [[Creator/TheSixIdiots Simon Farnaby]], one of the film's writers[[/note]] and his being attracted to Phoenix in his nun disguise.
20-->'''Barry:''' [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Stop that stunning sister]]!
21* When the Browns visit Paddington in prison and they meet his inmate buddies, Henry turns off the light in their booth, thinking the inmates won't hear the mean things he's saying about them...until Knuckles tells Henry that he [[IsThisThingStillOn only turned off the light]], [[FailedASpotCheck and the mic switch is on the opposite side, with "microphone" written above it]].
22-->'''Henry:''' Gentlemen, if I have offended you in any way...
23* Jonathan and Judy tricking Phoenix into leaving his place by using recorded audio from when they met his agent. The capper is Jonathan accidentally playing her saying "Nice buns", and Phoenix hearing it... and being flattered.
24-->'''Phoenix:''' Thank you, darling. I've never had any complaints about Mr and Mrs Botty-Cheek.
25* While 'investigating' Phoenix's home, Mr. Brown wonders why a millionaire actor would want to steal a pop-up book. Mrs. Brown proves him wrong about the "millionaire" part when she hands him a stack of Phoenix's letters, which turn out to be his bills. Mr. Brown is blown away by how much debt the man is in.
26** Later, he has the same reaction when they visit his attic and see his collection of mannequins.
27-->'''Mr. Brown:''' (Whilst in the process of climbing into the attic) There's nothing strange about- (The instant he sees the mannequins) [[DullSurprise Oh my god, this man's a weirdo]].
28* "I'm just a trashbin."
29** A passing guard wonders if the bin just spoke. It assures him it did not, so he shrugs and wanders off.
30* Richard Ayoade's scene, especially for those who remember [[Series/TheITCrowd the last time]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgloGWshcj0 he was in a court room]].
31* Phoenix's turn in a dog food commercial. A classically trained Shakespearean ham giving a highly emotive speech... In a dog onesie and facepaint.
32** What's more, the commercial mentions that the dog food is ''not'' for people to eat. Poor Phoenix.
33* In the credits Mrs Brown is revealed to have swam the Channel between England and France, which is impressive... Only she forgot her passport and then had to swim all the way back.
34* This little pun in the ending, where Phoenix is able to put on a show in prison, then thanks the prison mates for helping him put on the show. What's the punchline? "All I needed was a [[{{Pun}} captive]] audience!"
35** "What am I like? Guards, lock me up! Oh wait, you have."
