Howl's Moving Castle (anime)/Funny

• There's Howl screaming down the stairway, running into everything while pulling at his hair, the green slime itself, and Sophie hauling Howl upstairs while he's covered in green goo... noticing only too late that his towel's slipped off, and he's completely nude. To top it all off, this troper can't decide whose deadpan reaction is funnier: Markl's or Sophie's.

Markl: He's calling up the spirits of darkness again! ...I saw him do this once before, when a girl dumped him.
Sophie: Well, now I have to mop again

• • Oh god, This Troper hadn't even caught that that was a Double Entendre until now. >_<
  • And this line from the same scene.

Howl: I give up. I see no point in living if I can't be beautiful.

• • Made even funnier, at least for this troper, that it was Christian Bale saying that. Never knew, Bats, never knew...
• YMMV, but the scene where Sophie is asking Calcifer to let her use him for cooking. The line that Calcifer says after she forces the pan on him gets this troper every time.

Calcifer: Here's another curse, may all your bacon burn.

• Howl telling Sophie why the Witch of the Waste is after him. Sophie just makes a face that says "are you serious?"
• In the ending, where Turniphead's curse is broken. It's the typical true-love's-kiss-breaks-the-spell, but...

Witch of the Waste: Looks like your true love is in love with someone else.

• The scene when Sophie goes to see the king, and is trying to figure out what Howl disguised himself as. In the English version:

Sophie: *Sees a flying device with a girl shrieking and giggling with joy above* That could be him.

Howl: Did you have to bring those two with you? (Sophie glances back and sees old!Witch of the Waste and Heen)
Witch of the Waste: Nice doggy. (Heen wheezes)
Sophie: I can't believe you work for Suliman. I guess it's too late to toss them.
