1 | Although it's regarded as one of the bleakest rock albums ever made, ''Music/TheWall'' actually has a sense of humor. |
2 | ---- |
3 | * In the album version of "Nobody Home", the television in the background is airing an episode from ''Series/GomerPyleUSMC''. When Pyle delivers his famous catchphrase "Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!", Waters (as Pink) immediately follows it up with the line, "There's still nobody home". |
4 | * "Go on Judge, [[PrecisionFStrike shit]] on him!" Roger Waters himself lists this as a personal funny moment in the DVDCommentary for the film. |
5 | ** In the film, when Judge Arse declares, "Fills me with the urge to '''DEFECATE'''!" Doll!Pink wears an expression of horror, while the audience gives a loud {{GASP}}. |
6 | * The DVDCommentary by Music/RogerWaters and Gerald Scarfe is [[{{MST}} a fountain of these]]: |
7 | ** At the beginning, Bob Geldof's eye starts twitching: |
8 | --->'''Waters:''' Here's Bob with Tourette's... |
9 | --->'''Scarfe:''' (cracks up) |
10 | --->'''Waters:''' ...a very mild form of Tourette's... |
11 | ** During the animation of the flowers in the song "What Shall We Do Now?": |
12 | --->'''Waters:''' What are those flowers, doing Gerald? |
13 | --->'''Scarfe:''' [[SarcasmMode I... I have never understood this bit... No idea]]. |
14 | --->'''Waters:''' That one's turned into a carrot! |
15 | ** Waters' response to Pink screaming "STOP!!!" towards the end. |
16 | ---> "We're right here, Bob, no need to shout." |
17 | ** During "Is There Anybody Out There?", while Pink frantically tries to escape the wall, Roger "narrates" Pink's thoughts with an Irish accent. He even [[BlackComedy throws in references to]] UsefulNotes/TheTroubles! |
18 | ---> '''Waters''': "He's confused, he's been watching ''Film/TheDamBusters'' for too long, he thinks it's an enormous concrete bomb!" |
19 | ---> [[FunetikAksent "Chroist almoighty...Look at da soize'a tiss ting! Jaysus Chroist!...Just you wait 'til Oi get me uniform ahn...All Oi need is a screwdroiver!"]] |
20 | ** Waters disparaging Pink's smashing his hotel room, saying that [[Music/TheWho Keith Moon]] did it better. |
21 | * In the film, Pink's manager's reaction upon seeing his wrecked hotel room just before "Comfortably Numb" starts: |
22 | -->'''[[Creator/BobHoskins Pink's Manager]]:''' [[PrecisionFStrike Fuck me!]] |
23 | ** He then proceeds to stuff hundred dollar bills in the horrified hotel manager's hands. |
24 | --->'''Hotel Manager:''' He's a maniac! |
25 | --->'''Pink's Manager:''' He's an ''artist''! |
26 | ** Back to the DVD commentary - Waters' anecdote of Bob Hoskins saying "I never had this trouble with Music/CliffRichard" |
27 | * The police savagely beat the looters, toss them in a paddy wagon, and completely fail to notice two old ladies looting a mighty haul of electronics and toddling off with the stolen goods. |
28 | * When first seeing the wrecked hotel room set, Roger Waters commented that it looked more like David Gilmour's hotel room than his. |
29 | * The AudibleGleam after the "Just a little pinprick" line in "Comfortably Numb". |
30 | * There's something funny about hearing School Master at the end of Another Brick in the Wall 2, as he sounds similar to [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Groundskeeper Willie]]. |
31 | * Concert crowds singing along to "My balls" in live performances of "Mother". |
