E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial/Funny

• Elliott's "It was nothing like that, penis breath!" still makes this troper scream in laughter.
  • This troper always loved that Elliott's *mom* laughs as she tries to reprimand him.
• When E.T. falls into the bath tub... He doesn't drown of course.
• The botched frog dissection scene is full of these.
  • When Elliott first releases his frog, "Get out of here! Go back to the river!"
  • When he tries to free the "big kids" frog, and the boy naturally resists.
  • The two boys scaring the one girl by placing their frogs on her feet.
  • Elliott's reenactment of the John Wayne movie E.T. is watching.
• Big brother Michael needs to get his priorities straight.

Michael: We're all gonna die and they're never gonna give me my license!

• Personally I loved the whole "Most Excellent Promise" scene.

Elliott: Michael, he came back. Michael: (feigning shock) He came back? He came back? (pretends to be attacked) Oh, my God! Elliott: One thing. I have absolute power. Say it. Say it! Michael: What have you got? Is it the coyote? Elliott: No. Look. O.K. Now, swear it. The most excellent promise you can make. Swear as my only brother on our lives! Michael: Don't get so heavy. I swear. Elliott: Okay, stand over there. And you'd better take off your shoulder pads. Michael: WHAT?! Elliott: You might scare him. And close your eyes. Michael: Don't push it, Elliott. Elliott: I'm not coming out until your eyes are closed. Michael: Okay, they're closed. Mom is going to kill you. Eeeeghh! Elliott: Okay, swear it one more time. Michael: (as Yoda) Absolute power you have! Eerrp!

• When poor drunk E.T. gets hit with the refrigerator door.

Gertie: I want you to meet somebody. The man from the moon. But I think you've killed him already.

• • Gertie is like a walking funny moment. Everywhere she goes something hilarious happens.
• Elliot tries to keep E.T. concealed after his revival:

E.T.: ET phone home! ET phone home! ET phone home! Elliot: (whispering) Will you shut up!

• It's Halloween and E.T. sees a kid dressed as Yoda... and recognizes him.

(waddling after the kid) Home! Home!

• Gertie being scared of E.T. the first time she sees him, with E.T. being equally scared of her.
• ET trying to fix the costume knife in Michael's head, then being knocked over by the camera flash.
