Line #24 Funny/Prince


1	* "Soft & Wet" was Prince's first single, and part of the marketing push included a sweepstakes where the winner would receive [[StealthPun a water bed]].
2	* The second verse of "U Got the Look:"
3	--> U got the look (U got the look)\
4	It must have took (It must have took)\
5	A whole hour just to make up your face, baby\
6	Closing time, ugly lights, everybody's inspected (Everybody's inspected)\
7	But U are a natural beauty, unaffected\
8	(Did I say an hour? My face is red! I stand corrected.)
9	* During a solo acoustic performance of "Cream", after the lyric "Baby, there ain't nobody better", Prince deadpans: "I wrote this song while looking in a mirror."
10	* At the end of "Temptation", Prince proclaims that he needs a woman "in the worst way." God (actually Prince with his voice completely distorted and slurred) decides to intervene at this point, while totally deadpan:
11	-->'''God:''' Oh, silly man, that's not how it works. You have to want her for the right reasons.\
12	'''Prince:''' I do!\
13	'''God:''' You don't. Now die.
14	** Prince responds by MetalScream-ing his bloody ass off like [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji]] being MindRaped. {{Narm}} at its most hilarious, folks.
15	*** What made it even funnier is that there is a saxophone squealing in the background during this sequence, and at points, it's hard to tell if it's Prince or the saxophone.
16	* Also in the "completely-distorted-and-slurred-voice" mode, Prince's similarly over-the-top, incredibly violent ClusterFBomb-throwing deadpan monologue in "Bob George".
17	-->'''Prince''': You seeing that rich motherfucker again! What's his name? Bob? Bob, ain't that a bitch? What's he do for a living? Manage rock stars? Who? ''Prince''?! Ain't that a bitch? [[SelfDeprecation That skinny motherfucker with the high voice?!]]
18	* "Rockhard in a Funky Place":
19	-->'''Prince''': I just hate to see an erection go to waste!
20	* This famous line from the unreleased original version of "Extra Lovable":
21	-->'''Prince''': Baby I know my rap is hard, but not as hard as what's behind door, dig it door number pants
22	* After years of distaste for Website/YouTube and similar sites, and a poor sense of humor about himself, Prince released [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHbyNrGXpAA a single]] inspired by a ''Series/ChappellesShow'' skit at his expense, with Creator/DaveChappelle dressed as him as [[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/19/prince-breakfast-can-wait-cover-art_n_3778923.html the cover]]. Like the skit, the video also does not feature him in it but instead has the video's (female) director/choreographer impersonating him.
23	* "Alphabet St." accidentally provides one of the funniest moments in Prince's discography due to a sample being reused at the right moment. For context: the song begins with a drum machine beat and Prince yelling "NO!" in a high-pitched squeal. Towards the middle, there's a breakdown where Prince chants "Cat, we need you to rap!" twice before Cat Glover's guest rap comes on. The "NO!" scream is replayed at a perfect timing after the first chant, making it seem like the song has temporarily gained sentience and is protesting that it most certainly does ''not'' need Cat to rap.
24	* Prince on Series/MuppetsTonight. Right to even a joke regarding TheTropeFormerlyKnownAsX. He even writes a song about food! '''Twice.'''
25	** And even early on, Prince is detailed by Bobo:
26	---> '''Bobo''': And your name is?
27	---> '''Prince''': ([[BreakingTheFourthWall Looks at the camera]]) This will be fun.
28	*** When Bobo still won't check the list for his name: '''JUST CHECK THE LIST, FOOL!'''
29	** Prince dressed as a farmer. With a southern accent.
30	* After his death was announced, the parody account [[https://twitter.com/PrinceTweets2U/status/723205622754250754 Prince Tweets 2 U]] said that he had seen the account and thought it was ActuallyPrettyFunny.
31	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP-Wlh9bhM0 Prince kicked Kim Kardashian off his stage when she refused to dance with him.]] Even funnier since he specifically invited her up to dance, and she just stood there.
32	* His cameo on ''Series/NewGirl''. Especially because he was a fan.
33	* According to Questlove of The Roots, Prince [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfhoI6iX5ng asks him to DJ]] an afterparty and not long after the party gets going, he boots Questlove from the decks and replaces the music with ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo''.
34	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9iVXxFt1Wg He and Jimmy Fallon]] later tell a story about Prince destroying Fallon at ping-pong, then vanishing immediately after. When Questlove caught him at the light and asked him what happened, Prince just replied: "Ask your boy" and rolled the windows of his car up.
35	* Mentioned on the main page: his surprise appearance on ''Series/TheView'' ended when Sherri Shepherd told him "You don't understand, Prince; [[TooMuchInformation I have wanted to make love to you my whole life!]]" [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Prince immediately stood up and walked away.]]
36	-->'''Prince:''' So on ''that'' note...
37	* There are countless incidents of a camera cutting to Prince in the audience at award shows, revealing [[DisapprovingLook his displeasure with the events occurring before him.]] Just one reason why longtime fans call him "King of Shade."
38	** The best has to be him [[ThisIsGonnaSuck rolling his eyes]] at a video of Music/{{Madonna}} covering Music/MarvinGaye's "I Want You".
39	-->'''Prince:''' How much longer?
40	* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG-e00c6uT0 "Black Sweat"]] video, and his facial expressions when his dancer tries to grind up on him. Amazing.
41	* The breakdown of "Musicology" where Prince snaps at the listener through gritted teeth, "Don't you touch my stereo! These are ''my'' records!" Even funnier in [[http://www.jukebo.com/prince/music-clip,musicology,3v5pz.html the video]] where it's illustrated by the father of the kid listening to Prince's record bursting into his room and taking back all of the old school [=R&B=] records his son stole from him.
42	* During a performance at Madison Square Garden that featured Prince "getting it on" with a female dancer on stage, said female dancer tried to ''give Prince a blowjob on stage''. In front of his audience. The best part is the audience's initial reaction and Prince (while still bewildered) '''''shushes them'''''!
