Funny / Red Sonja

Film

• Kalidor and Sonja's first fight to see if he can Best Her to Bed Her... ends in a draw; as does their second one. Also, to increase the potential irony, it turns out they've both made a vow something like this. (Of course, considering his smiling teasing of her when he learns of her vow, it's possible Kalidor's joking, and just wants to do a rematch.)
• One can always get a kick out of Prince Tarn. Particularly, whenever someone points out the fact that he is a child.
  Prince Tarn: Boy? Boy?!
  • One of the Prince's best moments was near the beginning of the film. When he and Sonja first meet, after Gedren had just left his kingdom in ruins.
    Prince Tarn: My army ran away. Do they want to live forever? I refused to surrender.
    Falkon: So she knocked down the other half (of the city).
• Falkon is usually always good for a laugh as well.
  Falkon: Your Highness, this pearl may BELONG to somebody.
  Prince Tarn: It does! And he wants it NOW!
  • It's amazing, the things that man willingly puts up with and does without discussing the orders no matter how braindead the orders are.
• Gotta love the part just after Sonja helps Tarn and Falkon out of a jam.
  Prince Tarn: Reward her, and tell her who l am.
  Falkon: His Royal Highness, the Prince Tarn, Great Lord of Hablok... Keeper of the spotless throne... Great elephant who fertilizes the world with his...
  Prince Tarn: I told you never to say THAT!
• During the fight with Brytag:
  Brytag: I shall feed your eyes to the birds, red-hair!
  Sonja: I don't need eyes to find you. I can smell you from a hundred paces.
• Falkon's line after climbing Gedren's castle's wall up to a stone duct.
  Falkon: Tomorrow I start my diet...
  • Once inside the castle, Falkon slips into another duct and crashes onto a refectory table with Gedren's soldiers having dinner. He then happily takes a chicken leg and starts eating it, with the soldiers looking at him.
• Tarn standing there, barely looking away in disgust, as Ikol gets crushed by the stone door.
• Sonja searching for Gedren just before their final battle is a great unintentional example of this. Not only is the line itself massively overacted, but Brigitte Nielsen pulling a silly face — namely, puckering her lips with her teeth together and massively widening her eyes — as she says it makes her look like a real-life cartoon character.
  Sonja: GEDREN! (eyes bug out to a ridiculous degree) WHERE AAAAAAAAARE YEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOU?!

Comic Book

• In the "Birth of The She-Devil" comic, Red Sonja has chopped the hand off a Sultan who tried to Bathe Her and Bring Her to Me before interrogating him. A Surprisingly Realistic Outcome subsequently occurs when he dies before answering a single question.
  "Dead already?"
• In issue #4 of Gail Simone's run, after Sonja, who has exiled herself after contracting the plague, is found by Ayla and Nias:
  Sonja: Did you remember to bring...
  Ayla: Yes, mistress? Food? Weapons? Anything you ask!
  Sonja: Alcohol, you idiots.
  • Although Sonja has been banished, humiliated, and is suffering terribly from plague, (actually poison) and has seen many friends and good men die, she remains remarkably stoic and level headed throughout her ordeal. That all changes when she hears about the recent prohibition…
    Nias: My humble apologies glorious one, but our cruel overlord has forbidden all places of revelry so that we may spend our time in contemplation and prayer instead.
    Sonja: You mean they CLOSED THE SUNDERED BOAR?!
  • Also, from that same series;
    Ayla: (boasting) We have killed hundreds!
    Sonja: (unimpressed) Men, were they?
    Ayla: (sheepishly) Well... rabbits, actually.
    Nias: They were BIG rabbits...
    Sonja (facepalms) This does not bode well
