mikey, after finding out what happend to Luca n part 1, how he hangs the phone up , the look on his face makes me laugh, and just the way he hung up after getting the news.

and Tom's hair in part 2 after the shooting in Tahoe,

yeah thats funny for me 2. but i guess theres a lot of more funny moments. they have been posted already.

I think the funniest bit is a few moments later when Sonny comes into the study and has a post-coital cigarette.

Not any really hilarious lines or scenes in The Godfather, compared to say a movie like Goodfellas...

but humorous lines are plenty...

I always chuckle at Clemenza riding in the car with Paulie...

"Exterminate? aww, thats a bad word to use...Lucky we don't exterminate you."

Castellano's delivery is great...always laugh at "Awww, Paulie won't see him no more."

GF1- After Vito returns home and they're all having dinner, Sonny brings up the business and his mom shuts him up. Then Carlo starts up again and Sonny says, "We don't talk business at the table."

[QB] when fanucci says "looks like there's a $100 under my hat." he looks like a ******. the way he said it and they way he moves.

That always makes me chuckle!

Also when Fanucci is leaving the seats in the theatre and you see that sillhouette of him walking against the stage.

Godftaher II
When the bodyguard is in Hyman Roths apartment trying to kill him but the guards disturb him - he hides and through the open door you see him tip-toeing away!!

I thought the seen in Godfather I when Vito's God child cries to his Godfather for help. Vito makes fun of him, calling him a baby. Then Tom Hagen smiles because in the book Hagen is secretedly jealous of him for being his adopted father's God son.

Fredo and Michael in Havana. Dialogue goes something like this:

"How do you say Banana daquiri in Spanish?"

"Banana daquiri."

"That's it?"

I always enjoy the scene in GFII when Signor Roberto the landlord comes groveling back to Vito to...after asking around the neighborhood.

The way he stumbles, bumbles and then SOOOOOO reluctantly lowers the rent is just too funny!

And that adorable clarinet ditty at the opening of certainly contributes to the lighthearted mood of the scene!!

Apple

For SURE it's the scene where Sollozzo is talking to Tom after The Don was (supposedly) killed:

Quote:
SOLLOZZO
It's good business, Tom.

TOM
I'll try, but even Sonny won't be able to call off Luca Brasi.

SOLLOZZO
Yeah... well, let me worry about Luca.


That ALWAYS gets me! 'Let me worry about Luca,' indeed ...

This is one of my fave bits in no. 3. Not particularly funny, but there is definitely sonething abount it!

TPM

Am I the only one who thinks this is funny? In G1, when the don has lambasted Bonasera for not showing respect, Bonasera says "be my friend, Godfather?" Brando does this little facial
gesture, like he's still sulking. It cracks me up
no matter how many times i see it.
Also, the "masculine child" line, and when Hyman Roth instructs the guy "make sure everyone see the cake".

Willie Cicci when he's testifying to the councillor or whatever, it was pretty amusing.

And when Pete said to Paulie (before he was going to die): "Well think while you're driving will yah, I wanna hit New York sometime this MONTH." That was somewhat amusing too.

Then just after this when Roth has his cake offered to him he waves it away saying 'a smaller piece' that makes me smile too.

In GF2 when Vito and the family are in the 'wine making factory' and he gives little Michael a grape, the childs face is realy amusing as he eats it.

---------------------------------------
I was actually going to include that as well.
Roth's portrayal is so flawless! Another funny
scene is when Roth tell Michael in his Miami home:
"stupid, people behaving like that with guns", and 5 minutes later he condones the killing of Frankie Pantangeles saying "he's small potatoes",
while he casually stuffs food in his mouth.

some of my favorites

GFIII:
CONNIE:Michael…
MICHAEL:Yes?
CONNIE:Now they’ll fear you.
MICHAEL:Maybe they should fear you

right before the killing of Zasa the whole bit on the car with armand and joey's bull dog

ARMAND:Hey, Joey Zasa! Joey! Up your ass!
ARMAND:Hey Joe! Who's gonna win the car, eh? Your aunt?
ZASA:Hey. hey, why don't you get off of the fucking car, huh? You got a raffle ticket?
ARMAND:Hey Joe, take, take a good look at my raffle ticket, here we go.

GFII: when connies new boyfriend merle kisses mama corleone on the cheek the expression she makes is classic.

GFI: after tom and sonny are arguing over sonny killing tataglia and tom saying this is business not personal, and mikey starts talking about killing mccluskey and sollozzo

SONNY:You're taking this very personal. Tom, this is business and this man is taking it very very personal.

or the final time mike and sonny will see eachother at the dinner table when they are thinking of where to plant the gun

SONNY:Hey, listen, I want somebody good -- and I mean very good -- to plant that gun. I don't want
my brother coming out of that toilet with just his dick in his hands, alright?

i am sure theres more, but i dont want to bore you all

Well adding to the scene at the table when Michael says he joined the marines....my fondest memory and special touch by Puzo and coppola came when all the members of the family wnet to greet their dad at the door and michael was just sitting there...as sonny walked over to greet dad he gives Mike ONE more big brother snipe..lol...he says..

"STUPID" and walks away..THAT was great and really showed the big brother lil brother relationship...lol

Another bit is early in GF1 when Vito ushers Johhecks that he is gone. After that he kinda sighs then it cuts to the cake. Its the sigh that gets me. Brando=The Don.

I always find it funny when Michael says to Moe Green "You straightened my brother out"

Defenatley when Don Corleone Slaps Johnny Fontaine to get his to snap out of it...

2 of my favorites are: PENTAGELLI drinking out of the garden hose and WILLIE CICCI'S "the family had alot of buffers" !

Frankie 5 Angels was funny in every scene he was in. I mean funny. Now I can't remember the lines word for word but here's a try.

Can of Peas? Can of Peas my a___ thats a ritz cracker and chopped liver..........,

there was the scene where he tried to get the Band to play some italian music but they end up playing pop goes the weasle.........,

Michael your'e sitting high up in the sierra mountains and your drinking (turns to Willie) what's he drinking Willie?.........,

I could go on........,

Yeah, this scene. I read this whole thread and you're the only one who mentioned it, but I like the look on Sonny's face right after Michael say's he'll shoot them: "Mr College boy!..."

for me some moments are amusing, but mst of the times, these movies are deadly serious and i dont find hardly anything funny

- The 'Exterminate' line by clemenza is great, and brutal! it does make me chuckle

- GFIII - The bloke says 'Up your Ass' to Joey Zasa

- GFIII - Im off to listen to some Tony Bennett Records

- GFIII - When Zasa attempts to join in the fun but nobody wants him

At the wedding in GF1 when the guy throws something to Paulie--'I got two gabagoo(?) for you!' and then when paulie goes outside with Sonny. Sonny talks to the FBI guy and Paulie assumes a treatening stance that is really kind of funny and then Sonny breaks the guy's camera and throws the money on the ground and then Paulie kicks the camera and assumes another 'gangster' position revealing that he has a gun in his suit.

I know this has probably been discussed but what is a gabagoo?

That`s right! In the books Mario Puzo says the same, it is very funny to see Vito when he says as if he was Johnny Fontane "I don`t know what to do" hahahaha

When Tom knocks on the door and realizes Sonny is inside doing Lucy Mancini

oh yeah

What 'exterminate' line? I can't remember it.

"Gabagoo" is actually Capicollo, which is an Italian deli meat, like salami.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....very tasty!
