Funny / Alien: Resurrection

Go To

  • Alien Resurrection also has several moments of humor, though mostly dark comedy.
    • Captain Elgyn of the Betty giving an officer on the Auriga his authorization.
    "Here is my authorization, son; it's E.A.T.M.E.
    "I'm sorry sir, could you repeat that please?"
  • "Intruder on level one. All aliens please report to level one."
  • Ripley has just been captured by the aliens, but the others are forced to flee and are unable to go back and help her.
    Call: "We can't leave her! This isn't right."
    Purvis: (gloomily) "I've been telling myself that all day..."
  • Johner and Vriess screaming on re-entry.
    Johner: "What's burning?!"
    Vreiss: "US!"
    (Beat)
    Johner: "SHIT! You're right!"
  • The 2003 Special Edition has a scene of Ripley asking the scientists if they're from Weyland-Yutani. Turns out WY doesn't exist anymore - it was bought out by Wal Mart. Even more funny, they probably have their own military now because of this.
  • When Gediman is trying to teach Ripley how to say "fork" and tries not to laugh when she pronounces it like "fuck".
  • DiStephano's Skewed Priorities upon finding out Call is a robot. He starts geeking out right in front of her and looks positively giddy to meet an android.
    • Now even better as it's exactly like Raymond Cruz's most famous role as Tuco Salamanca, which this performance is otherwise nothing like.
    • Purvis' reaction:
    Purvis: Great. She's a toaster.
  • A Call-Back to Ripley pulling out a Xenomorph's inner mouth and handing it to Call as a souvenir. When she gets into a fight with Johner, she grabs his tongue and asks Call if she wants another souvenir.
  • Ripley manages to join the Betty crew at the last minute.
    Johner: I thought you were dead!
    Ripley: Yeah, I get that a lot.
  • In a hilarious error, the movie clip of Alien: Resurrection where the doctor is kidnapped has the subtitles hilariously fail, usually with references to modern pop culture. See it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFN4NtioY8Q
  • Ripley, tired of Johner's insulting of Call, grabs his tongue and offers to give it to Call as a souvenir, in a call back to when she ripped out the alien's tongue and gave it to Call. Even more humorous is the fact that it's Sigourney Weaver doing it to ultimate badass Ron Perlman.
