Unintentionally Funny Moments in The Dark Knight Rises

[3-D]

Was wondering if anyone else chuckled during times not meant for it. Here are mine.

1. Bane's prologue voice
2. Talia's cliche "take a last breath and die" death scene
3. Gordon's surviving pretty much unharmed from the truck fall.
4. The ultimate in my opinion, copied and pasted from a moderator because he worded it better than I ever could:

"Argh, ugh, Cover the doors. Wherza da twigeraaaahz! Wherea iz it!? AAAAAAHH You'da neerer grive it to an ooorinarie cirrrezen! Wherea iz it! *starts getting tired* whereaizit...?"

Yeah one part that stuck out for me and I can't remember how the line went at all, so forgive me, but it was the part during the first fight between Batman and Bane. It was where Bane had Batman by the throat and then Batman started growling something about the LOS being psychopaths or something like that. Does someone know the scene I am talking about and know the dialogue?

I know exactly what you're talking about. The way he said psychopaths is literally making me cry from laughter right now.

[Greens]

Bane: And you betrayed us.

Batman: You were excommunicated by a gang of psychopaths.

I think this is how it went down. Batman's voice is funny there but not in a ridiculous kind of way.

[Bruce_Begins]

Rookie Cop shots batman then says Sorry.

[Greens]

That's not unintentional, though.

Talia's death is the most hilarious moment of the film.

[3-D]

Yeah the cop shooting the gun was meant to be funny, I'm talking about moments meant to be serious that were funny due to bad acting, overacting, unbelievable happenings, etc.

I'm not sure why, but I also found Foley's death scene funny, we see him charging in badass, and then all of sudden he's just lying dead on the ground.

[Kansiov]

For some reason some guy in front of me LOLed really hard when Batman went batsh-t crazy and yelled "WHEERRREEE ISSS IITTTT?" at Bane.

I found foley's stance laughable. it just looked awkward to me. him dying stopped me from chuckling though.

That was boderline terrible. I don't profess to know anything of substance about filmmaking, but I hated the way that was cut.
And we know they filmed more. Not one usable shot from that Foley stunt? Not one?!?!?!

They cut out his death scene, I'm guessing because it was too violent, but yeah, he doesn't die by gunfire...

I agree. I got a few dirty looks during my second viewing of the movie because I laughed out loud. Plus the way Bats, Gordon, and Catwoman are looking at her makes it even more funny. I am waiting on a gif of it lol.

Haha, yep, pretty bad. Gordon in the truck. 5 viewings and there was laughter each time.

[Donut]

She did have a bad death scene

[3-D]

I lost it too, to be honest.

[kvz5]

Talia's death takes the cake.

Also, this:
"Goodbye, Alfred"
(next scene)
"Alfred?"

This was funny.

I actually thought that this one was intentional.

[craigdbfan]

Wasn't that supposed to be intentionally funny though? In both of my screenings the entire audience laughed at that scene.

I will admit that it's pretty jarring to put a lighthearted/comical scene like that right after that emotionally intense argument they had.

Yeah, on second thought, that scene was supposed to be funny. It's also to show I guess how dependent Bruce is on Alfred and that while they had a huge fight the day before, he didn't really count on Alfred actually leaving him.

[3-D]

I found that scene odd more than anything. I know it's meant to be funny. But I still think it was an odd editing choice to have Bruce seem surprised that Alfred is gone directly after a huge, emotional scene where they both acknowledge that Alfred is leaving.

I thought it was realistic. When you have an argument with someone and tell them to leave, sometimes that is just the heat of the moment... you don't actually expect or want them to leave. I think Bruce was genuinely surprised that Alfred actually followed through and left.

[craigdbfan]

Yeah. It sort of sucked out the impact from the previous scene a bit.

[Mreah]

"WHEEERE ISSSS ITTTT!??!" totally slayed me.

Reminded me of the similar scene from TDK and all those online parody videos making fun of Batman's throat-cancer-laced Batvoice.

Batman Interrogation Method: Punch people in the face, yell at them with the Bat voice. Repeat. Why Batman thought this would work on Bane is beyond me. Threatening someone with physical force and intimidation... someone who kicked the everloving **** out of you when you didn't take cheap potshots at his mask... it's just not going to be effective.

There's was a nuclear bomb that was about to go off. I don't blame him for yelling like that in dire situations. I'm sure most of us would be doing everything we could when trying to get information from someone if we were in his shoes.

Yelling to physically inflicting dominance over someone is only natural in a case like that.
