10!!The Ride
11* The pirates sing a merry song about how they are going to RapePillageAndBurn the fort to hell and back, but most are just getting drunk and having fun.
12* A seagull has made a nest out of a skeleton's hat, which is still on its head.
13* The bar scene with the drinking skeletons. Two are sitting at a table, posed like they are having a casual drink while covered in cobwebs. The third "drinks" a bottle, with the contents trickling through his ribcage.
14* The crowned skeleton most now know as Ponce de Leon sitting in a large bed reading a treasure map.
15* The pirates dunking the town's mayor over and over again in the well to make him talk. Every now and again, the mayor's wife, a real GrandeDame, bursts out of a window above to [[HenpeckedHusband scold her husband]] (who is tied up and soaking wet). One of the pirates shuts her up by firing a gun at the window, only for her to appear again.
16* The iconic auction scene. The pirate auctioneer tries to sell off a fat lady, while all the pirates are more interested in the redheaded beauty nearby who's [[ShowSomeLeg riling them up]].
17* Pirates fleeing from broom-wielding women for stealing their food.
18* An elderly drunk pirate tries to persuade a cat to drink some rum. The cat's enraged screeches only add to the scene.
19* The surly singing of the pirates is just priceless.
20* There is one pirate who is trying to steal LotsOfLuggage but has got stuck with one foot in the boat and another on the dock, balancing precariously in-between while whimpering in despair.
21* A pirate sleeping with some pigs.
22* The iconic scene where jailed pirates are trying to tempt the prison dog with a bone.
23* Two looney pirates sitting on tilting cannons, trying to shoot each other while singing and laughing.
24* Jack's appearance at the end of the ride, sitting in a throne surrounded by stolen gold.

26!!Bloopers of the Caribbean
27
28* Granted, they're not part of the films themselves, but the blooper reels for the films are very funny.
29** From [[https://youtu.be/J4JZ8yoEh1Y?si=1G9zKwBx_Vwpd5pg Curse of the Black Pearl]]
30** From [[https://youtu.be/GDhqn4yf_i8?si=FEaqEXmA0ZemBIs7 Dead Man's Chest]]
31** From [[https://youtu.be/_mlhhkAZuJ8?si=052xMQ8m4mtCkwFt At World's End]]
32** From [[https://youtu.be/W1StwwpMJZQ?si=efqvFql2v0Vw8Ufd On Stranger Tides]]
33** From [[https://youtu.be/E5kl9VqkCjU?si=_lDZJ0eZ-PfrknFS Dead Men Tell No Tales]]
34* A lot of the humor in these blooper reels comes from the fact that the vast majority of Johnny Depp's flubs are ''entirely in-character as Captain Jack Sparrow''.
35* "Mr. Cotton! Do you have the courage and fortitude to follow orders and stay true in the face of danger and almost certain death?!"
36** Take One:
37-->'''Jack:''' Do you have the courage and fortitude to follow orders and stay... ''({{Beat}}...)'' I love you man, let's just face the fact.
38** Take Two:
39-->'''Jack:''' Do you have the courage to forti... ''(trails off)''
40** Take Three:
41-->'''Jack:''' Do you have the courage and fortitude to follow orders and stay brave in the sea... oh, god, I hate this bloody line. Where are the writers? I'm gonna ''kill'' them.
42* On the deck after rescuing Elizabeth, Norrington is mocking Jack's equipment and then suddenly...
43-->'''Johnny Depp:''' Is that a ''plane?''
44* At one point, Elizabeth appears to ''spontaneously explode.''
45* Kiera Knightley lampshading the social values of the era.
46-->'''Kiera:''' Could I trouble you for something to wear, or will it be bare breasts and ankles all the way?
47-->''({{Beat}}; Jack Davenport [[{{Corpsing}} cracks up]], followed by Kiera.)''
48-->'''Jack:''' ''[still laughing, imitates Kiera]'' "Ankles all the way!"
49* At one point, the editing crew screws around by taking a ship battle scene, playing it in fast-motion, and adding in sounds of screeching tires and machine guns firing.
50* There's also Orlando Bloom's "Aarrrr, swash swash, buckle buckle," and Tom Hollander and Johnny Depp's ''numerous'' tries to get a scene done (the bargain upon the Endeavour), which includes Hollander's haughty "I'm trying to ''work''," and Depp calling Hollander out for cursing: "But that -- no, you can't curse on a Disney film, mate. ''[pause in which the director confirms]'' See? I told 'im!"
51** Context for the repeated failed shots: Hollander and Depp are filming the scene with a foghorn outside. It's so loud and close by that when it goes off, ''it nearly knocks both of them off their feet''. Of course, this happens more than once...
52*** Actually, the scene is where a cannonball bursts through the room right before they shake hands to close the deal. The foghorn was there as a way for them to know when to act out being surprised of the explosion. They know it's coming so they have to simulate a realistic reaction if cannon ordnance suddenly bursts through right next to you. Being 'nearly knocked off your feet' is an understandable reaction to an explosion. Still, it is surprising so their reactions are more forced since it's not a cannonball but a very loud horn, simulating the force a cannonball would project when exploding nearby will need to be forced.
53* [[DeadpanSnarker "Same thing, only better, please."]]
54* Hollander doing an impromptu jig while filming a scene.
55* Johnny Depp forgetting the name of the Flying Dutchman.
56-->'''Johnny Depp:''' Now all that's left is to climb aboard the ''Davy Jones Crocodile Machine'' or whatever it's called, what's the bloody thing called? ''[the crew chimes in]'' Flying what? Dutchman!
57* Another in-character flub from Depp:
58-->'''Gibbs:''' Let's put some distance between us and this island and head out to open sea.
59-->''(Behind Jack, Pintel and Ragetti are late in getting into position for throwing a warm layer over Jack's shoulders.)''
60-->'''Jack:''' Yes to the first, yes to the second, but only... ''(stumbles his line by the blanket showing up)'' ...so far as we keep to the -- I'm just gonna start the take again, shall I?
61* Jack's incident with the Jar of Dirt.
62-->'''Jack''': Why fight when you can negotiate? ''(begins to remove the Jar of Dirt from his pocket)'' All one needs -- ''(realizes his wig is caught in the jar while Will laughs)'' Help?
63* "There's a female presence here, sir. [[AccidentalInnuendo All the men have felt her]]. [[ThatCameOutWrong No, they haven't]]..."
64* One take of the otherwise dramatic opening scene in ''Dead Man's Chest'':
65** Tom Hollander as Cutler Beckett:
66--> ''([[{{Beat}} long beat]], points)'' "Kill him!"
67** Jonathan Pryce as Governor Swann:
68--> "The charge is conspiring to set free a man convicted of..." ''([[{{Beat}} takes a sigh with a long pause]])'' "...I can't read my own writing. [[SarcasmMode Marvelous.]] 'Crimes!' Thank you very much!"
69*** If you look closely, you can also see Tom Hollander as Beckett struggling not to crack up.
70** This one ties into Governor Swann's above quote:
71--> '''Hollander''': The charge is conspiring to set free a man legally... lawfully... sorry, I'm slightly confused, 'cause I don't know which version we are doing. Shall I say it or Jonathan say it?
72--> '''Pryce''': It's my line, dear.
73--> '''Hollander''': Sorry!
74--> '''Pryce''': It's all right. ''(jokingly mimes while shaking his fist at "Beckett" as if he wants to punch him in the face)''
75* Jack's conditions of help: "I shall help you to find the compass, if [[BestialityIsDepraved you'll do strange things to my dog]]. His name is Tim."
76* Geoffrey Rush staying in character when he flubs his lines:
77** "Calypso! I come before you as but a servant... ''(his hat is blown off)'' Ye blew my hat off, ye [[PrecisionFStrike *bleep*]]!"
78** "Apologies, Your Majesty... but 'tis certain the world we know ends today, and I won't be lettin' the likes of Beckett Cutler... ''(pauses)'' ...oh, say... sometimes known, Cutler Beckett!"
79** This beautiful exchange:
80-->'''Bloom:''' HARD TO PORT! GATHER WAY! KEEP HER TRIM!
81-->'''Rush:''' NAY, BELAY THAT! ''([[{{Beat}} long beat]])'' ...DO SOMETHING ELSE!
82-->'''Bloom:''' ''(looks utterly terrified for a moment, before laughing)''
83* Geoffrey Rush accidentally hitting himself in the eye with his spyglass is known to cause giggles and sympathetic wincing at the same time.
84-->'''Depp''': Bugger! That's powerful.
85** Even funnier is the fact that Rush only hits himself in the eye because, when he goes to dramatically open the spyglass, he actually ''breaks it in half'', leading to the above quote.
86* Anytime someone fails to catch something. Tom Hollander cracks up when Johnny Depp tosses an object far out of his reach by mistake.
87* In another outtake, Depp is shooting the Locker scene where he swings from the ''Pearl'' onto the desert below. He preps, swings, the camera follows, and ''crash''; Depp crashes onto the ground, having mistimed his landing.
88-->'''Johnny Depp''': ''[under his breath]'' Oh, my god... ''(gets right to his feet completely in-character)''
89* During the Parlay scene from ''At World's End'', as Geoffrey Rush, Keira Knightley, and Johnny Depp are walking, Rush's hat flies off due to the wind. What does Depp do? Staying perfectly in the character of Captain Jack Sparrow, he tosses his own hat off and strikes a dramatic pose.
90-->'''Crew Member:''' We have a hat problem!
91* At the Pirate Council:
92--> '''Johnny Depp:''' Let us not, dear friends, forget our... lines. Let us not forget our lines, shall we?
93* Helicopters keep interrupting during shooting of ''On Stranger Tides''.
94-->'''Johnny''': What I want first... is Ponce de Leon's helicopter.
95-->''(Later...)''
96-->'''Scrum''': ...or when an helicopter flies over your head, and you're supposed to be in the middle of the sea. It's not real.
97-->'''Extra''': It screws everything.
98** And in ''Dead Men Tell No Tales''.
99--> '''Carina:''' Can I wait until the modern-day helicopter is gone?
100* ''"I'm Peter Pan!"''
101** Even funnier if you've played ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII''. Due to the lack of a [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Neverland]] level in that game, Sora gets the Peter Pan/Tinkerbell summon in Port Royal instead.
102* Johnny's numerous attempts to get the hat off Penelope's head.
103-->'''Johnny''': I think this take's going very well, don't you?
104* Rush attempting to get his wooden leg back on.
105-->'''Rush''': No, it's broken.
106-->'''Depp''': Can't help you, mate. I don't want to touch it.
107** The best part: Again, both say this in character.
108* "God, stop it, please!"
109** Made funnier by the fact that Philip is a man of the cloth; this line works in and out of character.
110* ''On Stranger Tides'': Johnny appears from round the corner...with his hat on wonky. He notices, straightens it before backing out of the scene.
111* "Let us sail! To the ''Wounded, Diseased Canary''!"
112** "To the ''Dying Gull''!" "To the ''Dying Gull''."
113** "Horrible name."
114* Johnny slipping into German during a swordfight between Jack and Salazar.
115--> '''Jack:''' Nein! NEIN! ... Sprechen sie Deutsch?
116* The last Blooper in ''Dead Men Tell No Tales'', Johnny Depp gets his foot stuck in a boat.
117-->'''Jack:''' I'm dead. That's me, I won't be in '''6'''.
