Poll: Funniest Moment of Ugly Betty Season 2 So Far?

December 17, 2007 by Tom  

Ugly Betty Spoiler Pics 12During the holiday season, when all things Ugly Betty seem to slow down, I’ve been looking over the recaps from the season so far, and I’ve realised that there was far more comedy than I remember.  Especially at the beginning and end of the current run.  I’ve found 5 moments that made me laugh out loud (some had me in tears I was laughing so hard).  Here is my list of funniest moments this season:

  • The picture of Wilhelmina with Dick Cheney.  Ashley Jensen made this scene.  She was listing off Wilhelmina’s Lucifer-based nicknames when she just blurts out “Oh look – Wilhelmina and Dick Cheney!”, and there was the wonderful photo-shopped picture.  Or was it?
  • Amanda’s Parents.  They were obviously surprised to see Amanda and Marc show up at their house.  They came down in bathrobes, and before long, another couple came downstairs in bathrobes.  The look on Amanda’s face, discovering her parents were swingers, was priceless.

More after the jump!

  • The Slow motion paintball scene.  Rebecca Romjin has been absolutely hilarious this season – especially after Alexis regained her memory.  She’s playing the character differently now – as a man who just happens to have a knockout female body.  This came to a hilt in “Bananas For Betty” (the last new episode), during the paintball war with her brother.  When her team mates rolled her into the room, guns blazing, screaming, in slow motion, it was just too funny.  Romjin appears to be having so much fun!
  • Amanda singing ‘My Milkshake’. – This one (and the next one) came out of left field.  Bradford has unexpectly left the room with Daniel in the middle of his wedding, and Marc gets Amanda up in front of the crowd to fill the void, and let Amanda seize the moment.  She chooses a quite … er … unorthodox song.  The scene cuts to Daniel and Bradford arguing, then it cuts back to Amanda, and the crowd is now into it; when the pipe organ plays along, it might just be the most surreal moment on television this year.
  • Marc making thunder. Speaking of surreal – this was, to me the funniest moment of the entire season.  Wilhelmina has very threateningly summoned Betty to the roof of the Meade office building for a showdown about Betty’s finding out about her affair with the bodyguard.  The mood is ominous.  After each sentence spoken by Wilhelmina, we hear thunder.  The last time we hear it, the scene shows Marc off to the side, wiggling a piece of sheet metal to make a thunder sound.  Wilhelmina tells Marc he can leave.

The last is my favorite, because it was so out of the blue, and understated.  Except for that “Betty stare” that she always gives Marc and Amanda, no other recognition of the strangeness of the situation was given.  It reminded me of Monty Python.

Of course, there were many other hilarious moments; it’s almost impossible to whittle them down to a list small enough for a poll.  Alexis admiring her own boobs.  Kenny’s rap.  Mo’nique chasing Henry.  Betty saying “bowling sucks” (there was just something funny about the way she said it).  The fake web sites.  Christina getting male models to get sized for underwear.  Cliff’s “just a second” finger.  Wilhelmina singing folk songs.

Anyway, I’d love to hear from you.  What do you think the funniest moment of this season has been?  If it’s not one of the things I have in the poll, list it in the comments – I KNOW I’ve forgotten some.

    i would have to say that i loved the whole Mo’nique and Henry part where she is trying to flirt with Henry and he is “trying ” back. And the look on Bettys face when Mo’nique says ” I call him Sugarstick, cuz i wanna like me some of that…you ever try?” Betty’s face is priceless.

    I voted for Amanda singing because that one can still make me laugh outloud….but all of the ones in your poll were fun reminders.

    I think Henry’s ‘playa’ talk with Mo’nique is still one of my favorite funny scenes though.

    “I’m sweet like sugar, soft like suede, but unlike a piano, I never get played.”

    Too funny.
