funniest part...
Did anyone else notice when Beaker flips off Scrooge as he is walking out of the office? I didn't stop laughing for days (literally) after seeing that.

shareThe three pigs in the beginning that goes something like this:
"That was a fine meal." "yes, yes a fine meal." What should we do now?"
"LET'S HAVE LUNCH!"
The part that cracks me up the most is in the very beginning when Gonzo and Rizzo go to look in the countinghouse window and Gonzo says, "Boy this really is a dirty city" and then the shot changes to the view from inside as he uses Rizzo to wipe off the window. It doesn't get any better than that.
The part where you see Gonzo and Rizzo on the shelf in the bacround and then it tips up and you see them falling off. that always makes me laugh.
share[Rizzo falls down the chimney and lands on the goose cooking on the spit]
Rizzo: (relieved) Well, at least I landed on something soft. (gasps) And HOT! OWOWOWOW!! HOTHOT!!
-And then afterwards-
[Rizzo is blowing on his burning feet]
Rizzo: (to Gonzo, whining) I fell down the chimney and landed on a flaming hot goose!
Gonzo: You have all the fun.
Rizzo: (gives him a look)
Gonzo: What?
*giggles* I love this movie.
Rizzo: Chahhly!! Mista Dickens! Ah ya hoiyt?!?!"
Big Bada-boom!
he must be so lonely, he must be so sad...he goes through extremes to convince us hes bad...look close and there must be a sweet man inside.........NAW Uh-uh..
Gotta love those ladies singing during the opening song...hehehe
Henry Blake: Did you really yell give me an incubator or give me death?
i love the opening song
"no cheeses for us meeses"
awww i stil love this movie
Trusitng desire starting to learn, walking through fire without a burn.
The best part is definately when the marleys are talking about evicting the orphanige
Jacob Marley: remember that time we evected the entire orphanige
Robert Marley: yeah they were sitting outside all cold
Jacob: with their frosbite teddy bears
both: (hysterical laughing)
I think the funniest part is wher Rizzo has landed in the ice and he does that weird thing with his foot. I also like the bit where the book keepers went... Heat Wave.. this is my island in the sun.
The lady's choir bit makes me giggle. I always sing along.
--------------
Did anyone catch how the statues of the different writers were done up to resemble Muppet performers?? Dave Goelz, Steve Whitmier, and Frank Oz
shareWow, I never noticed that. *rewatches that part*
"HEAT WAVE ! This is my island in the sun.." Always cracks me up.
But just about any part with Gonzo and Rizzo too.
I love it when at the Fozziwig Rubber Chicken Factory Christmas party, Animal's frustration rises as he's grunting and hitting the cymbal, and then he just starts to go insane when the music picks up. Also when he screams "Quiet!" when Fozzie is trying to make his speach. Priceless!!!! Animal rocks.
"Dont I deserve love? And jewelry?"share
Fozzie: "It's a Fozziwig Christmas tradition for me to make a little speech."
Statler: "And it's a tradtion for us to take a little nap!!"
Also, I LOVE when Beeker gives Scrooge the finger. haha lmao
Glad to see so many other people LOVE this movie! The music was so good that we recorded it on a cassette tape from the VHS the first time we rented it.
My son's favorite funny part is
"It was dull!"
"It was obvious!"
"It was pointless!"
"It was...short."
"...I LOVED IT!"
There are many already mentioned, but one of our favorite funny parts is at the beginning of the song "It Feels Like Christmas" there is a band playing. One of the muppets clangs a cymbal (I think) and hits another one in the nose and it's kind of smashed. Underneath the music you can hear the offended muppet arguing with the one who hit him. He starts shoving him and they get into a fight before the camera goes on to something else. Watch for it! :D
I love the Ghost of Christmas' Present's song...and the rapport he and Scrooge share.
Even when those who move you be kings or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone.
Get your boomerang fish.
Oh! Guaranteed fresh.
Throw the fish away.
and it comes back to me.
its a fleeting moment at the beginning...but its always been my absolute favorite!
I didnt believe you at first but then I watched it again, that part was hilarious. I couldnt believe that he actually did that. I am still laughing.
shareI've never notcied him doing that...but it's now 17:24 on Christmas Eve, and I'm going to go and watch it now..will definitely watch out for that. Merry Christmas, everyone!
"I could save the world but lose you..."
"our assets are frozen!" :D
And the jellybean bit is amazing...and the bit when scrooge says so seriously "This was my first job...at Fezziwig (spelling?)'s rubber chicken factory". That bit kills me :D
Never happened. If you own the DVD version, pause and go frame by frame just before Beaker leaves the office and you will clearly see that Beaker is pointing/shaking his index finger at Scrooge NOT flipping him the bird. You can see Beakers thumb wrapped around his other fingers just like yours would be if you were pointing at someone.
Jim Henson's son has too much class to allow a puppeteer to dishonor his Dad's memory in such a vulgar way. Nahhhh, it NEVER happened.
Gonzo: My name is Charles Dickens.
Rizzo: And my name is Rizzo the Rat. Hey. Wait a second. You're not Charles Dickens.
Gonzo: I am too.
Rizzo: No, a blue furry Charles Dickens who hangs out with a rat.
Gonzo: Absolutly.
Rizzo: Charles Dickens was a 19th Century novelist, a genius.
Gonzo: Oh, you are too kind.
Rizzo: Why should I believe you?
Gonzo: Well, because I know the story of "A Christmas Carol like at the back of my hand."
Rizzo: Prove it.
Gonzo: All right. Um, there's a little mole on my thumb, and a scar on my wrist for when I fell of my bike.
Rizzo: No, no, no. Don't tell us your hand. Tell us the story.
Gonzo: Oh, oh, yes, thank you. Ahem. (begins the story)
Well, I got it!
I have way too many favorite parts, but right now I'm thinking about the part when Same the Eagle tells young Scrooge that something (I can't remember what) "is as solid as this very building!" (slaps the wall and the shelf with the statues, Gonzo and Rizzo falls) "I've been meaning to fix that shelf."
shareGonzo: "Once again, I must remind you that the Marley's were dead and decaying in their graves - that one thing you must remember or nothing that follows will seem wondrous."
Rizzo: "Why are you whispering?"
Gonzo: "It's for dramatic emphasis."
and
Scrooge: "What right have you to be merry? You're poor enough."
Fred: "What right have you to be dismal? You're rich enough."
Rizzo: "Got him there, the old boy's speechless."
Scrooge: "If I could work my will, any idiot who goes around with a "Merry Christmas" on his lips would be cooked with his own turkey and buried with a stake of holly through his heart."
Rizzo: "... well, not quite speechless."
are two of my favourite scenes. and of course when rizzo kisses gonzo on the nose.
no, I'm a large absent minded spirit.

Just to say that this movie is soooooo great, as i'm watching right now! lol
My favorite parts are; when Scrooge is in the past at the party and fozziewig gives his 'christmas speech'.
Fozziewig: "Thank you all and Merry Christmas!"
Robert Marley: "That was the speech?"
Jacob Marley: "It was dumb!"
Robert marley: "It was obvious!"
Jacob marley: "It was pointless!"
Robert Marley" It was...short."
Both:"I Loved It!!"
And also I like the part where Gonzo touches the window and says, "This really is a dirty city." He picks up Rizzo and starts wiping the window with him, "Thank you for making me a part of this."
