History Funny / DunePartTwo

* After only a passing reference to Gurney Halleck's singing in Part One, this time the warrior poet is re-introduced idly plucking away at a [[https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Baliset Baliset]], creating lyrics as he goes like doggerel poetry, including "My stillsuit's full of piss, my ass caked in sand". [[https://www.gq.com/story/josh-brolin-sings-in-dune-part-two Apparently Josh Brolin actually wrote the songs himself]] (with help from Music/HansZimmer).

* Chani translated to Paul the Chakobsa conversation between Stilgar and the sentry who intercepts the group arriving at Sietch Tabr, [[TranslationByVolume one line at a time]]. As she starts the third, Paul interrupts with "yeah I got that", then replies "[[InsultBackfire Thanks"]] to the sentry who said "You are not welcome here". Chani's [[DisapprovingLook eye roll]] just sums up the reaction to his comment as if she was saying "[[{{Troll}} eriously? You knew Chakobsa all this time? Why didn't you just use it before?]]"

* During the duel, after exchanging several frantic swipes, Paul does a [[SpectacularSpinning butterfly twist]] to reposition himself... and Feyd responds by kicking him square in the chest, dropping Paul squarely on his ass. By itself not that funny but considering how tense the previous half a minute or so was, good luck not laughing.

* After getting rid of the squad of Harkonnen soldiers on the way to Sietch Tabr, Stilgar mentions that their bodies' water (by necessity, the Fremen [[HumanResources always pump water from dead bodies]]) is too polluted with chemicals to drink, but it can be used for the Fremen cooling systems just fine. Cut to Chani, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent just shaking her head in bemusement at the events behind her.]]
** Upon seeing this, Jessica is visibly about to puke (it was probably partly MorningSickness). Stilgar says repeatedly "Don't let it out, ''don't let it out!''" before she finally can't and [[VomitDiscretionShot throws up just out of sight]]. Stilgar [[SkewedPriorities sighs at the waste of water]].

** Stilgar also [[NotSoAboveItAll seems to enjoy]] dramatically warning Paul about the jinn, who are supposedly demons who haunt the desert and possess humans. He even includes a {{jump scare}}, which Paul is completely nonplussed by. And after Stilgar laughs at his own joke, he switches back to deadpan serious and basically says "No, really, watch out for those, they're scary." It's impossible to tell if Stilgar is passing on sincere (if outlandish) warnings, or just fucking around with Paul for his amusement.

-->'''Paul:''' Now ''that's'' interesting, because in the filmbooks, the anthropologists say in order to properly sandwalk, you have--\\

* Gurney Halleck says that the Atreides had enough [[UsefulNotes/NuclearWeapons atomics]] tucked away to blow up Arrakis itself. In response, Stilgar gives him a [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe meaningful look]]; then Chani pops up and ''also'' gives him the same look. Really, it has to be seen -- it looks like Donald Duck's nephews peeking through a doorway. Gurney clarifies it was just a figure of speech but he's clearly [[TheGadfly ever-so-pleased with himself]] at having gotten a rise out of the normally [[TheStoic stoic]] Fremen.

-->'''Stilgar:''' Watch out for centipedes. Not the big ones; they're harmless. But the little ones. ''[holds his hands two feet apart]'' They'll kill you.

-->'''Paul:''' Actually, every filmbook I watched said--\\

'''Paul:''' Right.

* After getting rid of the squad of Harkonnen soldiers on the way to Sietch Tabr, Stilgar mentions that their bodies' water (by necessity, the Fremen [[HumanResources always pump water from dead bodies]]) is too polluted with chemicals to drink, but it can be used for the Fremen stillsuits' cooling systems just fine.

* Stilgar tells Paul ''very firmly'' that when he attempts to ride a {{sand worm}} for the first time, he should just focus on doing it right, rather than try to show off and impress everyone. "Nothing fancy". Paul agrees. His friends do not.

* There's something oddly hilarious about Chani's speech in the South being interrupted. Keep in mind that the trailers had set it up as if she was delivering a BadassSpeech to the Fremen in that scene, but in the movie itself, she can barely get through the ''second sentence'' before being pulled down by Gurney.

* After the rather intense knife fight between Paul and Feyd ends with Paul victorious, Stilgar spontaneously turns to Gurney with crazed eyes and fanatically yells "Lissan al Gaib!" in complete awe. The complete (albeit temporary) MoodWhiplash invites some laughs, especially since it looks like Stilgar is trying to point this out to Gurney, who openly doesn't believe in the Mahdi thing, in order to convince him of Paul being the messiah.

* That poor Harkonnen advisor just has the worst luck. First, he tries to recommend to Rabban a safer strategy to deal with the Freman (and to get some rest), only to have his head smashed into the console for his trouble. We see him again much later, this time recommending Feyd to stay away from the fighting and rest, only to get his throat slashed by Feyd and dragged to be fed to Feyd's pets for his trouble. Just goes to show that even being an Harkonnen advisor is hazardous to your health.

** Alternatively, his reaction also makes it appear that, because he was in such awe from watching Paul defeat Feyd, he almost forgets to cheer for him and suddenly remembers to do so after a moment's pause, quickly reminding the other Fremen that they need to cheer as well.
