I pointed that out the last time I watched AVTAK, I had never caught it until then. Tibbett's exasperated, tired "Oh, thank you, sir!" makes it even better.
It's great in TSWLM and FYEO but in AVTAK it's embarrassingly tired schtick.
"Come along, Tibbett. Stop wheezing."
"Yes, I know!"
Gets me everytime.
:))
"What was that for?"
"For saving my life."
"Remind me to do that more often."
That gets me every time. And it's actually recycled from a Season 2 Saint episode.
=))
Haha, agreed.
Its not the line itself, but the execution of it by Craig in the moment.
Ha ha. Yes the waiter in TMWTGG.
PHU-YUCK!
Surely? It's an Austin Powers joke to the core.
GIRL: "Oh James, I cannot find the words"
BOND: "Let me try and enlarge your vocabulary."
GIRL: "What happened? Where are you going?"
BOND: "Sorry. Something came up."
GIRL: "But, James, I need you."
BOND: "So does England."
Or when the henchman motor rider falls from the cliffs after crashing into a truck filled with pillows: "All those feathers and he still can't fly."
Best is, Moore never makes it sound cheap, a quality that is very much underrated.
In FRWL, when Bond enters Moneypenny's office, flinging his hat on the rack: "And for my next miracle I ..." until he sees M is also there and is not looking all that amused. Especially Connery's expression and the way in which he then closes the door, makes me laugh.
But my favorite comedic scene in that movie is where Krest tries to explain to Sanchez what happened to the money he owes him, and Sanchez is totally incredulous. "So this guy water-skis behind the plane....?" It's a wonderful meta joke that I'm surprised had never been done in Bond before. A bad guy having to explain the incredibly unrealistic cause for his failure. :-D
Other favorites:
M and the Chief of Staff in their gas masks, along with Drax's faux bewildered reaction in Moonraker.
Blofeld's line to Bond in Spectre: "I've really put you through it, haven't I?"
In Thunderball, when M takes offense at Moneypenny calling him "the old man", and Bond just mutters "I think I had a hat when I came in" and tries to get away from the scene.
That being said, most of the Bonds gave me some sort of laugh. Lazenby was the only one who didn't, and Dalton only gave me one or two.
