The viking then rushes back into the fray and Hiccup carries on.
  • Astrid's introduction. It's practically going "LOVE INTEREST HERE" with Slo Mo flames and Hiccup's goo-goo eyes. Just look at it here. That is the face of a boy in love.
  • After Hiccup hits the Night Fury.
    Hiccup: I hit it. Yes, I hit it! Did anybody see that?
    (As Hiccup turns around to ask that, he misses seeing a Monstrous Nightmare rising up the cliffside behind him. He only realizes it once the dragon roars at him, by which point it is way too close)
  • This exchange:
    Stoick: Winter is almost here and I have an entire village to feed!
    Hiccup: Eh, between you and me, the village could do with a little less feeding, don't you think?
  • During Stoick and Gobber's conversation, we get an idea for where Hiccup got his Deadpan Snarker streak from...
    Stoick: "When I was a boy..."
    Gobber: "Oh here we go..."
    Stoick: "...my father told me to bang my head against a rock and I did it. I thought it was crazy, but I didn't question him. And you know what happened?"
    Gobber: "You got a headache."
  • "Trolls exist! They steal your socks. But only the left ones. What's up with that?"
    • Funny because you realized that Gobber only has one leg left. So OF COURSE his left socks go missing!
  • Toothless's celebration right after the Test Flight scene where he and Hiccup learn to fly together. note  Toothless blows out a fireball for himself to fly through, then sails towards it with this expression of pure, sublime bliss - and drags Hiccup along for the ride.
    Hiccup: "Oh, come on". (scene cut to Hiccup looking windswept and lightly singed)
  • Toothless vs the Terrible Terror. Toothless wins. Cutest territorial match ever.
    • For the curious, the Terror puffs up, preparing to breathe fire... and Toothless beats him to the punch by blowing a little bit into his mouth. And thus we have "Not so fireproof on the inside, are you, little guy?"
    • During the test flight Hiccup messes up more than once and Toothless ends up slamming on walls a couple of times. Being understandably irritated by this he slaps his clumsy rider with his ear.
  • Toothless's expression after Hiccup puts the fin on his tail for the first time. "D-D-Duuuuuude."
    • Not to mention his face when he first realizes something is going on back there. The range of expressions he goes through is priceless to watch.
      • Plus while the camera is focused on Hiccup putting the fin on, you can see in the background Toothless starting to spread his wings so you just know what's going to happen.
  • Hiccup using his intimate knowledge of dragons to seemingly "subdue" them while not actually hurting them.
  • Toothless depositing a half-eaten fish on Hiccup's lap - and the look on Toothless' face, as if to say, "G-G-Go ahead, e-e-eat it, silly h-h-human!". Hiccup's trying it, and forcing himself not to vomit. Then Toothless gestured for him to swallow it, to which Hiccup does the silent version of "you're serious?". And after Hiccup swallows it, Toothless licks his lips as if to ask, "D-D-Did human l-like it?"
    • Prior to that, when Toothless discovers the knife Hiccup has with him, Hiccup drops it and Toothless gestures to the lake with his head as if to say, "G-get rid of it." Once Hiccup does so, Toothless immediately goes into cute mode.
    • And when Toothless offers another half-eaten fish to Hiccup after the same Test Flight scene note , Hiccup is quick to decline.
  • "You're right, you're right. You're right! I'm through with the lies. I've been making...outfits."
    • A few seconds later, as Astrid is trying to see what's making the noise she keeps hearing, Hiccup tries to stop her by surrendering himself. Astrid responds by taking his hand off her shoulder and twisting it back. Hiccup's indignant response caps it off:
    Hiccup:: Oww! Why would you do that?
  • Hiccup briefly channels his fellow Fluffy Tamer Rubeus Hagrid when Astrid first meets Toothless:
    Hiccup: You [human girl] just scared him [dragon].
    Astrid: I scared HIM?! Who is "him?"
  • The "Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile." line, delivered totally deadpan while Toothless is going through his most extreme aerobatics to try and terrify Astrid into saying sorry.
    • Really, the entirety of that flight. Hiccup is trying so hard to convince Astrid that Toothless is harmless, while Toothless just does the exact opposite. Up to this point he's been desperately entreating Toothless to play nice, demanding to know what's wrong with him. By this point, he's just done, and just resigned to it happening.
    Hiccup: And now the spinning. Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile.
  • After the romantic flight, Astrid smacks Hiccup, then kisses him, then runs off. Now, Hiccup's dumbstruck face after the kiss is funny enough, but what sells the scene is Toothless's reaction to the whole thing. After the smack, he gives Hiccup a look that says "T-T-Toothless know; t-t-totally unfair". After the kiss, he wanders up behind Hiccup: "T-T-T-Toothless thinks she liiiikes you, b-b-bud!" To which Hiccup's response is "What're you looking at?"
  • Hiccup's (well justified) fainting dead away after Toothless counts coup with a thunderous roar in his face, then tries to flies away. Hiccup stays awake just long enough to see Toothless go down, turns around, then drops like a stone. The whimper he makes as he goes down makes it even funnier.
  • The look on Toothless' face as he and Hiccup prepare to take back Astrid to the ground. If he were human, he'd bust out a Psychotic Smirk.
  • Hiccup showing Toothless the saddle for the first time and having to chase him around to get it on.
    • It's even funnier if you slow down the video a little, you can easily see Toothless does a play bow and is smiling with his pupils wide. He isn't running around because he particularly objects to the saddle, he just thinks it'd be fun to make Hiccup chase him around some.
  • When Gobber is telling the recruits about how his leg and arm got eaten by dragons we get this gem from Snotlout
    Snotlout: I swear I'm so angry right now! I'll avenge your beautiful hand, and your beautiful foot! I'll chop off the legs of every dragon I fight. With my FACE!
  • The bit when Toothless is trying to ignore Hiccup just after the fish eating scene. He notices Hiccup sitting near him and, clearly exasperated, shuffles his tail round to hide his face. note  Then, as Hiccup reaches out to touch, peeks from under the tail, leaving Hiccup to stroll away nonchalantly.
  • Ruffnut and Tuffnut fighting over a shield.
    Tuffnut: Get your hands off my shield!
    Ruffnut: There's like a million shields!
    Tuffnut: Take that one, it has a flower on it! Girls like flowers!
    Ruffnut: *whacks Tuffnut in the face with the shield* Oops! Now this one has blood on it!
    • And then she hands back the shield and when the gronkle blasted them they are still fighting over the shield that she just proved she could take from him with little effort. You know then that they just fight 'cuz it's fun.
  • "Your butts are getting bigger, we thought you were a dragon!" "NOT that there's anything wrong with a dragon-esque fig—" *punch*
  • Tuffnut being a wuss with his injuries.
    • Not all that Tuff is he.
  • "I believe in learning on the job!"
    Fishlegs: "I am seriously beginning to question your teaching methods!"
  • Fishlegs is the Viking equivalent of a Dungeons & Dragons nerd.
  • Gobber's tankard hand.
  • "That was made from half your mother's breastplate."
    • "And, uh...thanks for the the um...'breast-hat.'"
    • Particularly funny, because Hiccup is stroking the helmet...and then jerks his hand away immediately after being told it was part of his mother's breastplate.
    • Hilarious in Hindsight: How did Valka fill that breastplate out?!
  • When Hiccup is found out by Astrid the deadpan tone Hiccup uses when he says "Duht-duh-duh, we're dead.". Gets even funnier when you realize that Toothless is doing a picture-perfect copy of Hiccup's eyeroll note , then stomps off on his hindlegs, apparently figuring to solve the problem himself.
  • Hiccup imitating his father's Scottish accent.
    "Excuse me, barmaid, I'm afraid you brought me the wrong offspring! I ordered an extra large boy with beefy arms, extra guts and glory on the side! This here, this is a talking fishbone!"
    • And then Gobber chimes in with this little gem:
      Gobber: It's not so much what you look like, it's what's inside that he can't stand!
      Hiccup: Thank you for summing that up.
  • The following:
    Gobber: Don't you... no, Hiccup! If you ever want to get out there to fight dragons, you need to stop all... this.
    [gestures to all of Hiccup]
    Hiccup: But you just pointed to all of me!
  • Also:
    Hiccup: Dad, I can't kill dragons.
    Stoick: But you will kill dragons!
    Hiccup: No... I'm really very extra sure that I won't.
    Stoick: It's time, Hiccup...
    Hiccup: Can you not hear me?
    Stoick: This is serious, son. When you carry this axe [gives him an ax], you carry all of us with you. Which means you walk like us, you talk like us, you think like us. No more of [gestures to Hiccup] this.
    Hiccup: You just gestured to all of me.
    Stoick: Deal?
    Hiccup: This conversation is feeling very one-sided...
    • Also when he hands him the axe, Hiccup immediately can't balance it and the blade end drops to the floor, and Stoick has to reset it while talking.
    • Right before that, both try to share news but say it at the same time. Hiccup lets Stoick go first.
    Stoick: You get your wish. Dragon training. You start in the morning.
    Hiccup: Oh, man, I should have gone first.
  • THIS. Tuffnut's face. Took quite a few rewatches to spot—it's only on the screen for a split second, but hilarious.
  • The Teens Arriving on dragons in the final battle against the Red Death is both awesome and funny. but the best part is Gobber's reaction to it.
    Gobber: [to Stoick] Every bit the Bone-Headed, Stubborn Viking you ever were.
    • And Stoick actually nods his head with an expression that says "well... can't argue with that."
    • When Stoick sees them arrive, you can see him mouth "What the...?"
  • During the climax, Fishlegs loses control of his Gronkle and it ends up faceplanting onto the beach.
    Fishlegs: "I'm okay!"
    *Gronkle overtilts onto Fishlegs*
    Fishlegs: "Less okay!"
  • Near the end, in an otherwise dramatic scene, after Hiccup is shown to still be alive and Stoick thanks Toothless for saving his son, Gobber chimes in and points out Hiccup's damaged leg. Cue Stoick giving Gobber the most inconsiderate look ever.
    Stoick: Thank you, for saving my son.
    Gobber: Well, you know... most of him.
  • Blink and you'll miss it, but at one point, Hiccup uses a hammer to project a light and Toothless chases it like a cat chasing a laser pointer.
  • Can we give one to this page for the sheer fact that when it interprets Toothless's body language and expressions into words, they are written exactly how Toothless speaks in the book?
