Shiny,

Thanks so much. Now I'm getting odd looks in the public library 'cause I'm giggling over the concept of little Ewok dolls with big heads that wobble.

This is one of those threads I really wish I could contribute to, but nothing I can come up with is as funny as anything y'all have already come up with. I'll keep working on it, though.

Delia

for some reason i was thinking about Braveheart today.

Scene: William Wallace addressing the clans before battle

Wallace: I'm no good with words. Don't use 'em much, myself... (crowd chuckles) But I want to thank y'all, for bein' here, and for thinking so much of me... Far as I see it, You people have been given the shortest end of a stick ever offered a human soul in this crap-heel 'verse... But you took that end, and you, you know... Well... You took it. And that's... I guess that's somethin'.

After the battle, Wallace wanders the field humming quietly to himself

Wallace: the hero of Scotland, the man they call... me

Bridge Simulator: Star Trek II,

LT. Uhura: Captain I am picking up a distress signal, 13 klicks ahead. From a… sounds like a Personnel Carrier. Defiantly a big ship sir and she’s without power.

Oh, that was awesome....I think I broke something laughing at that. I can actually HEAR them having that conversation in my head!

Actually the whole exchange in The Message that Mal has with the Fed about the crate over the vid has always reminded me of the cellblock break in Star Wars. "We're all fine here -- how are you?"
I'd do it with Han Solo, but I can't remember anything but Mal's "Is it marked at all?"

"Well personally, I kinda want to slay the dragon."

Here you go (idea courtesy of Ankhagogo):

SECURITY: This is Central Security. Weapons fire has been detected in your substation. Prepare to receive an investigative squad.

SOLO: This is substation 04257, I think there's been a mistake.

SECURITY: There's been a lot of mistakes, the latest of which is you being sloppy with your firearms and blowing up three security cameras.

SOLO: We took in a lot of Wookies today. If one of them damaged a security camera, we'll be sure to submit a report and a repair work-order, but I don't think we're your substation. Let me check through the cameras -- is it marked at all?

SECURITY: You might wanna think twice about playing games with me. I will bust you down to droid-polisher-second-class!

SOLO: You do that, your precious droids'll probably end up in bitty shards given my big clumsy hands. Now I got Wookies to attend to, sir, so you just stand by on this frequency and I'll see if there's anything here fits your description.

He turns off the screen.

LUKE: Security procedure has changed since I was little.

SOLO: They call back, you keep them occupied.

LUKE: What do I do, Tantooine shadow puppets?

I was watching Lord of the Rings last night. this popped into my head and i couldn't stop laughing.

Frodo sits on the riverbank, looking at the Ring. Boromere approaches and draws his sword. Frodo jumps and turns around

Boromere: Do I have your attention?
Frodo: We're kind of going to extremes here,ain't we?
Boromere: There's times I think you don't take me seriously. And I think that oughta change.
Frodo: Do you think it's likely to?
Boromere: You got something you don't deserve.
Frodo:And it's brought me a galaxy a'fun I'm here to tell you.
Boromere: Six men came to kill me one time, and the best of them carried this. (He holds the sword out to Frodo) It's my very favorite sword.
Frodo: are you offering me a trade?
Boromere: A trade? Hell, it's theft! This is the best sword made by man or elf, and its got extreme sentimental value! It's miles more worthy'n what you got.
Frodo: Well, my days of not taking you
seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

hope this made you smile too

:Aragorn and Legolas at Helm's Deep:

L: We're gonna die.

A: We can't die, Leg'las. You know why? Because we are so... very... pretty. We are just too pretty for god to let us die. Huh? Look at that chiselled jaw, huh?

L: *looks uncomfortable*

My original one tried to Gollum-ize "My food is problematic." Didn't fly.

No, this must be what going mad feels like

I'm sorry, I don't have any to contribute right now, but I just had to say y'all had me cryin'. Some of the funniest gorram things I've read in ages. Thanks, I needed that.

I think this is a serious contender for funniest thread on the board.

This little non-scene keeps going through my head:

Dorothy (to the Cowardly Lion): Are you alliance?

HKCavalier

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

The titan ae one has me immagining the dino scene slightly differently-
"Yes, this is a fertile land, and we shall thrive."
"Have you thought about what you're going to call it?"
"We shall rule over this land, and we shall it.. Bob!"
"What? You can't call our land Bob!"
"Oh, so now you're in charge. Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"
