1Although 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".
