Funny / Gordy

Go To

  • The footage of Jessica's commercials.
  • "Go play your banjo, Goober!"
  • The crossdressing thief wearing pantyhose on his head.
  • The two thugs checking the school bus for Hanky and Gordy... Only to scream in defeat when they realize they've been given the slip.
  • Gordy getting his makeup applied....only to sneeze a crapload of powder in the makeup artist's face.
  • Five words: Pig Power in the House.
    • And the three guys dancing to it.
  • The brief scene at the end of the movie where the entire animal family, plus Jessica, Luke, and their kids, are all at Meadowbrook Farm, which Royce Industries just happened to purchase. For a few seconds, you can see Cousin Jake grilling—then burning—meat. Doesn't that seem a little odd considering we just spent a climactic scene rescuing seven pigs from a processing plant?
  • Gordy immediately failing to watch over his family right after he promises his father. He just goes back to the farm and hears "Sorry, your family got taken while you were gone".
  • Jennie Sue calling Gordy "Pinky". He doesn't take it well.
  • Gordy rescuing Hanky from the pool. Heroic as it may be, it is also so bizarre that it comes back to being funny.
  • Gordy kissing Luke full on the face, the latter thinking it's Jennie Sue kissing him goodnight.
  • The bizarre scene when Mr. Sipes orders the test footage of Jessica and Gordy to be shipped, where he smiles smugly at the camera with a hazy yellow aura surrounding him as scenes of the film being flown out via Federal Express plays over him. It's shot so awkwardly that one cannot help but snicker at whatever effect the editors were going for.
  • The national phenomenon surrounding Gordy, aka "Hero Pig". Not only does he make it to the top of Royce Industries, but even the Governor of Arkansas is betting on his hero status to win him reelection! The sheer absurdity over just how far the fascination with his simple act of heroism goes is too much not to laugh at.
  • Louis Rukeyser giving a televised interview to Gordy, asking him for his views on the outlook of the American economy after he becomes CEO of Royce Industries. By that point, the absurdity of the plot should have audiences reeling.
