For me too.
The cinema. Over time we've grown up, sadly the films remain the same. :)
The Tarzan yell is the stupidest thing ever. Close second is Chewie's Wookie version of the Tarzan yell, same year.
The one that unnerves me on MR is actually that sailorman with the open mouth. His reaction is so false it gets in my nerves. At least the pigeon was just looped footage.
I find the "Sit!" bit pretty amusing... And Chewie making the Tarzan yell always gets me :)) It's a guilty pleasure of mine.
I have never been a fan of the Moore films, but I do think he could have been a better Bond than he ended up being. Unfortunately, the continual string of silly sight gags and his semi-serious portrayal of Bond always yanked me out of the films and reminded me we were watching a film. Never any suspension of belief, never caught up in the film the way good films can grab you and hold you.
Of the many egregious examples of cringe-worthy moments, the gondola with wheels is at the top of my list. It makes no sense whatsoever. It serves no purpose other than to get a cheap laugh.
I don't actually mind that bit too much compared to some of the other silly moments. But, even so, it still has to be one of the goofiest single shots in the series.
Croc sub, but latter when Bond gets out of it it simply slaps closed. :)
I'd say he's at least one of the most annoying features in the Moore era.
Silly doesn't necessarily equate to annoying in my view.
He's irritating beyond measure in GG

That's one every half hour, not bad for a man of his age ! :D
For all the faults of QoS (and SF to a lesser degree) when you compare them to the slapstick Moore era, they come across as masterpieces in their own right. I'm so glad the franchise is in the state it is now, and not as it was back in the 70's.
I quite like LALD and TMWTGG - they both have their serious moments, and I like the retro 70's feel of the films, the hotel rooms, seeing Bond shave, seeing Bond in his apartment, the cool hotel room in Hong Kong, and of course, Lee's Scaramanga, but Sheriff Pepper simply ruins both films as soon as he turns up in them.
Classic!
indeed I find that due to my work I find more fun in the less so called dark takes on everything. And as it is Roger had plenty of darkness as well, but people like to bitch anyhow.
When we talk about the impossibilities of SF we always end in style over content. I found Silva arriving with a chopper, bloody impossible without being shot out of the sky anyhow, ala Apocalypse Now far more ridicolous than sit or the pigeon double take.
I admit the Tarzan yell was totally out of place from OP, a movie with a lot of dark moments in it.
That sketch is the type of silliness I don't mind.
that is because Cameron is a whimp who forgets his kid in a pub, while Thatcher really was a personality that was worth taking the mickey. And she probably laughed about it.
