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'''''! |
