Funny / Wendell & Wild

Well, That's one way to clean out your nose and ears.

Since the film is cowritten by one half of Key & Peele, it makes sense there would be some funny moments despite the dark subject matter of the film.

---

• The Film's dark comedic tone starts with the introduction of The Scream Fair, owned and operated by Bufflo Beelzer as he mocks the poor souls who enter into his death trap.
  • The Tour starts with the souls being carried by demented looking crow-like demons called Soul Jockeys and dropped into Beelzer's mouth as they go through the inside of his body before exiting out through his butt.
  • They then go on a roller coaster that's designed to crash into each other.
    Buffalo Belzer: Yes!
  • The next ride is a ferris wheel that drops the souls into a tank full of skeleton electric eels.
    Buffalo Belzer: Shocking!
  • The next ride is a teacup that pours hot tea into the cups that the unlucky souls are riding in.
    Buffalo Belzer: Ouch!
  • The final ride of the fair is a swing ride that goes so fast that the souls, in their vehicles, fly over Beelzer's head.
    Buffalo Belzer: Look at you gooooo!!! Haha!!!
• Wendell and Wild wouldn't come to be if Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele didn't give it their all: their first scene has them in fact arguing over the latter stealing some of the sacred hair cream:
  Wendell: OK... Ok, that's it! W-W-Wild, you're doin' it again!
  Wild: (trying to play innocent) Doing what, Wendell?
  Wendell: Stealing the hair cream!
  Wild: That's just a bad plug right there, that's what it is. Why'd you plant it?
  Wendell: It's not a bad plug. You're depriving that plug of its rightful nutrients!
  (Wild jokingly licks Wendell's face, with his tongue passing through Wendell's nose. A pissed Wendell repeatedly Dope Slaps him)
  Wendell: Need I remind you? It's your fault Belzer put us in jail for treason! And if he goes bald, he'll skin us both ALIVE!
  Wild: (oddly calm) Both? I'm not worried, Wendell; you're the one shooting blanks.
  (Wild uses his wings to float as Wendell begins angrily jumping at him, spewing Angrish)
  Wendell: Hey! As your older brother, I demand you regurgitate that cream!
  Wild: Now... why would I do that, Wendell? Fresh cream ain't gonna revivify a bad plug!
  Wendell: (shocked) Did you just admit you've been stealing the cream?!
  Wild: (nodding) Uh-huh!
  Wendell: WHY?!
  Wild: 'Cause it tickles my tummy.
  • Soon Wild decides to force-feed his older brother some of it. Wendell doesn't take kindly to this at first:
    Wendell: I'm gonna kill you! Imma throttle you from here to next Tue-! (feels the gurgling) Oh, hey, you right! That does feel kinda good!
• When Father Bests plays golf with the Klaxons, he talks about Kat, a juvenile parolee, enrolling in the school and the full tuition it gets for her. Irmgard Klaxon takes issue with him getting government money for taking in convicts... because that's their business model and they accuse him of trying to compete with them.
• Wendell and Wild need to find a way to pay for the potential amusement park, when Wild remembers something:
  Wild: Remember that rich soul from the danged?
  Wendell: What? T-t-the Nigerian prince?!
  Wild: Yeah. He said if we helped him escape, he'd...
  Wendell: (angry) THAT'S NOTHING BUT A SCAM, WILD!
  Wild: That's sound like financial planning!
  Wendell: How 'bout I snap your horns off, rub 'em together, and make a fire?
• After finding out that the hair cream can bring things back to life, Wendell and Wild decide to use it on Spark Plug... but go against the idea when Spark Plug pleads for them to not kill him.
  Wendell: Uhhh, what if we can't bring him back to life?
  Wild: I couldn't live with myself.
  Wendell: …Me neither.
• As Kat first dresses up in her goth outfit and walks through the school's hallway while playing her punk music on the boom box, school teachers and other students react either with wide-eyed shock or distaste for the music... except for one girl, who happily nods her head along to the music.
• When Wendell and Wild test their cream by bringing Father Bests back to life, the first thing the resurrected Bests does is immediately pukes gallons of water, and golf balls, all over the place.
  • They then start to fix up Father Bests while Father Bests questions what is happening... all the while dancing to the song "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate.
    Father Bests: (Scared by the demons) Dear God, I'm in Hell!
    Wild: No worry, Padre!
    Wendell: Your back in good ol' Rust Bank fully alive.
    Father Bests: Thank you, Lord for this miracle!
    Wild: Not him!!! We brought you back.
    Father Bests: Huh?
    Wendell: Wendell and Wild!
    Father Bests: (confused) You?!? But you're demons!
    Wild: Don't worry, Padre.
    Wendell: We are the Magician Morticians!
    Wild:The Artistes of the Afterlife!
• Despite being scary undead skeletons with worms living inside them now, The Old Guard members have some funny moments from the way they look after their makeover from Wendell and Wild to their antics they get up to back at their old homes.
• The town council meeting scene has some funny moments, despite its tragic outcome:
  • When the reanimated Old Guard members come in, Dr. Ngo says that his professional opinion is that they're alive. However, Fawzi points out that he's just a podiatrist.
  • When Marianne tells everyone to raise their right hands to vote, all the Old Guard members do so. Including one whose right arm fell off, so he has to lift it up with his left.
• Wendell and Wild believe their steed Sparkplug has eaten Kat and Raul, leaving only their shoes behind. Wild proceeds to steal Kat's boots, and wears them until she comes back to the cemetery to confront them about attempting to kill her parents again.
  Kat: Why'd you do it?!
  Wild: Th-they were just my size...
  Kat: Not the boots!
  • Despite having their butts handed to them by Kat, Kat's parents, and Sister Helley mere minutes before she showed up, Wendell and Wild's first impulse upon seeing Siobhan is to try and growl intimidatingly. Siobhan isn't even phased.
• While everyone is frightented by Buffalo Belzer's entrance, Manberg is the complete opposite.
  Manberg: This is better than the Undead Army!
  • In fact, the reason Belzer discovers our heroes escaping is thanks to Manberg trying to suck him up into a jar, like the rest of the demons in his collection, but only gets some of the giant demon's hair instead.
  • Belzer picks up the hearse everyone is hiding in, and throws it away when it's empty, save for a screaming Father Bests.
