00:00I alone have information that reveals this weapon's only weakness.
00:04And you, my friend, are responsible for delaying my rendezvous with Star Command!
00:10You are a toy!
00:13Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:15And today, we're counting down our picks for the funniest scenes
00:18where everyone's favorite toy box space ranger sent us to infinity and beyond,
00:22straight into a giggle spiral.
00:30And together, with our love, we will win the evil.
00:36Number 20. Army of Buzzes.
00:38What's better than one or even two Buzzes?
00:42An entire army, naturally.
00:44No way!
00:46Washed ashore amid a shipping accident,
00:48a group of high-tech Buzzes wander the Earth, seeking purpose.
00:52While they don't entirely understand why they're on this strange planet,
00:56the Buzzes prove resourceful.
00:57Whether making a raft or upping their arsenal with stray camping supplies.
01:02Like the Buzz we know and love,
01:04his fellow space rangers eventually come to two revelations.
01:08One, they're toys, whose mission is to help kids in need.
01:11Two, Zerk is their father.
01:13No!
01:14Even after all these years,
01:16Buzz toys are still manufactured with delusions of being real space rangers.
01:20Yet these Buzzes come with other upgrades.
01:23Thanks to drone technology,
01:25they can fall with style like never before.
01:28Our mission on this planet
01:29is to make a child happy.
01:31You just remember what your old class is.
01:35Number 19.
01:36Meeting the Little Green Men.
01:38Of all the places to stage a spiritual awakening,
01:41Pizza Planet's arcade machine is absurdly perfect.
01:48A stranger, from the outside.
01:53Greetings!
01:54Our over-serious space ranger climbs in thinking he's found transport,
01:58only to discover hundreds of squeaky three-eyed devotees
02:01chanting about their metallic god.
02:03The comedy is delicious because he treats their nonsense with total sincerity.
02:08While Woody is visibly dying inside.
02:11This is ludicrous.
02:12Then Sid wins both toys,
02:15turning a ridiculous misunderstanding into an actual plot disaster.
02:18All right, double prizes!
02:21It's early Pixar weirdness at its best.
02:24Tiny voices,
02:25big mythology,
02:26and one arcade prize machine
02:28that somehow becomes a full-blown religion
02:30with better branding than most cults.
02:32What's cutting into you, Sheriff?
02:33I was...
02:33You are the one that decided to climb into this...
02:35The claw.
02:36It moves.
02:38It moves.
02:39Number 18.
02:40The Catchphrase Malfunction.
02:42Nobody wants to hear their signature line get absolutely mangled.
02:46In the episode Lost in Time,
02:48Buzz meets an animatronic version of himself,
02:50only to hear his legendary slogan butchered.
02:53To infinity and even further!
02:56Now spare me a little.
02:57The joke works because he's not just mildly annoyed,
03:01he reacts like someone has personally insulted his entire heroic legacy.
03:05Even better,
03:06there are kids around who accept the wrong version instantly,
03:09making him the cranky original artist watching a tribute act botch the chorus.
03:13It's a tiny gag,
03:15but it lands because that catchphrase is basically his whole brand.
03:19To infinity!
03:20And even further!
03:22That just doesn't work.
03:24Number 17.
03:25Socks' Dart.
03:27Trust issues have never looked cuter.
03:29After Socks saves the day in Lightyear by tranquilizing a Star Command operative,
03:33our hero clocks the scary little implication.
03:36The dart may have been reserved for him if he got difficult.
03:39Buzz,
03:40my programming compels me to notify Star Command that you have called...
03:42Star Command was going to decommission you.
03:44What?
03:44That's right.
03:45Lights out.
03:46No more Socks.
03:46The laugh comes from how casually Socks treats that possibility,
03:50as if emergency sedation is just another item on his helpful companion checklist.
03:55Hey!
03:55You're not authorized to be in this area!
03:59Whoa!
04:00Didn't know you could do that.
04:01Wait a minute,
04:02was that for me?
04:02In case I got out of line?
04:04I brought you five minutes.
04:05It's the perfect Socks gag,
04:07because he's adorable enough to cuddle and efficient enough to overthrow a room.
04:12For a movie about heroic obsession,
04:13this little moment lets the sidekick quietly become the funniest tactical threat on the mission.
04:19Number 16.
04:20Kiss Delivery Crisis
04:22Romantic errands are not exactly Buzz Lightyear's strongest mission category.
04:26That's where I need to go.
04:28You can't go, Buzz.
04:29You'll never make it there.
04:31Woody once risked his life to save me.
04:33I couldn't call myself his friend if I weren't willing to do the same.
04:37Before the toys head out to rescue Woody in Toy Story 2,
04:40Bo Peep gives their laser-focused space ranger a kiss to pass along when they find him.
04:45This is for Woody.
04:46When you find him.
04:51His awkward response turns a sincere send-off into a perfect little character gag.
04:56He understands the assignment,
04:58but also knows he's absolutely the wrong messenger.
05:01All right, but I don't think it'll mean the same coming for me.
05:04That's why the moment lands so well.
05:06It keeps the stakes moving while letting his stiff, heroic composure crack just enough
05:11for one beautifully uncomfortable punchline.
05:14Number 15.
05:15Elevator Drop Logic
05:16Physics briefly leaves the building for this scene.
05:19While Andy's toys climb through an elevator shaft to rescue Woody,
05:23Buzz decides to let go of the wall,
05:25trusting his so-called anti-gravity servos.
05:28What was I thinking?
05:30My anti-gravity servos!
05:33Hang tight, everyone!
05:34I'm going to let go of the wall!
05:37Everyone else reacts with the exact terror that plan deserves,
05:40because there is confidence,
05:41and then there's whatever this is.
05:44What?
05:44He would...
05:45One...
05:46He would...
05:47Two...
05:48No, no, no, no, no!
05:49Don't speak about this!
05:49Three!
05:50Ah!
05:52Oh!
05:52The gag works because he treats the drop like a brilliant tactical move,
05:56while the others are clearly one second away from filing a group complaint.
06:00Somehow, the elevator arrives in time,
06:03turning reckless certainty into accidental genius.
06:06To infinity and beyond!
06:12Number 14.
06:13Gullible Buzz
06:14Nothing exposes this man's operating system faster than one fake warning.
06:19How dare you open a spaceman's helmet on an uncharted planet!
06:22After Woody realizes his rival genuinely believes he's a real galactic hero,
06:27he tests the theory with the lowest effort distraction imaginable.
06:31And it works instantly.
06:33You're mocking me, aren't you?
06:34Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
06:36Buzz, look, an alien!
06:37Where?
06:38Ah!
06:40Ah!
06:41Ah!
06:42Ah!
06:43Ah!
06:44Ah!
06:44Ah!
06:45Ah!
06:46Ah!
06:47And our space adventurer is still scanning for danger
06:50like an alien attack could break out next to the bed at any second.
06:54The scene tells us everything about their early dynamic.
06:57Woody thinks he has found a fool.
06:59Instead, he has found a full-time problem.
07:02Stop with this spaceman thing!
07:05Number 13.
07:06A Helping Hand
07:07A desperate plea for backup turns into one of the franchise's funniest little visual gags.
07:12Did you all take stupid pills this morning?
07:14Have you forgotten what he did to Buzz?
07:17While stranded in Sid's room, Woody tries to convince Andy's toys across the way that Buzz is alive and with
07:22him.
07:23You got it all wrong, Potato Head.
07:25Buzz is fine.
07:26Buzz is right here.
07:27He's with me.
07:28You are a lawyer!
07:29When he asks his space ranger buddy to come up and help, Buzz takes the phrase way too literally by
07:34tossing over his broken-off arm.
07:37Buzz, will you get up here and give me a hand?
07:40The joke is pure toy story.
07:43A familiar expression becomes a punchline, and Woody's panic makes it even funnier.
07:47You see, we're friends now, guys.
07:49Aren't we, Buzz?
07:50You bet.
07:51Give me a hug.
07:52Ha ha!
07:53I love you too.
07:55See?
07:55It is Buzz.
07:56Now give back the lights, Potato Head.
07:58Sleep!
07:59It also sneaks in character work, since Buzz is still emotionally wrecked after learning the truth about himself, while Woody
08:05is desperately trying to get them both home.
08:07Go back to your lives, citizens.
08:09Show's over.
08:10Come back!
08:12Sleep!
08:13Sleep!
08:14Please!
08:14Please listen to me!
08:16Number 12.
08:18Meeting Ducky and Bunny
08:19A carnival prize wall should be a safe zone, but not with these two nearby.
08:24After Buzz gets tacked to the prize wall in Toy Story 4, Ducky and Bunny immediately treat him like an
08:29intruder stealing their spotlight.
08:31Light year.
08:33Hey, up here, Astro Boy.
08:34If you think you can just show up and take our top prize spot, you're wrong.
08:39Dead wrong!
08:39The comedy comes from the contrast.
08:41He's trying to track down Woody while they're busy bickering, roasting him, and turning one escape attempt into a plush
08:48-on-plastic wrestling match.
08:50To infinity and my boy!
08:52Boom!
08:53In a galaxy far, far away, you got kick in the head!
08:56How do I get out of here?
08:57It's also a perfect use of Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, who voice Ducky and Bunny.
09:02Their rapid-fire chemistry makes these stitched-together chaos gremlins feel instantly iconic.
09:08So that's what gravity feels like.
09:09Yeah, that's it.
09:10Hey, where you going?
09:12Number 11.
09:14You are a toy.
09:15Tables turn beautifully when the former galaxy-brained action figure becomes the voice of reason.
09:20In Toy Story 2, Buzz finds Woody at Al's apartment.
09:24But the cowboy has talked himself into joining Jesse, Bullseye, and Stinky Pete as a museum display in Japan.
09:29Woody, stop this nonsense and let's go.
09:32Ah, Buzz.
09:35I can't go.
09:36The funny part isn't just the callback.
09:39It's how earnestly Buzz throws Woody's old reality check right back at him.
09:43Woody, you're not a collector's item.
09:45You're a child's plaything.
09:47You.
09:47Are.
09:48A.
09:48Toy!
09:49In the first movie, Woody had to convince him he was a toy.
09:53Now Buzz is the one dragging Woody out of a dramatic identity spiral.
09:57That's growth right there.
09:58Somewhere in that pad of stuffing is a toy who taught me that life's only worth living if you're being
10:03loved by a kid.
10:04And I traveled all this way to rescue that toy because I believed him.
10:10Number 10.
10:11Falling with Style.
10:12When we first meet Buzz, it's fair to say he's not fully in touch with reality.
10:17He believes he's a real space ranger who can actually fly.
10:21Sadly, we can't think of any astronauts who took one small step for toys and one giant leap across a
10:27child's bed.
10:27These are plastic.
10:29He can't fly.
10:30They are a pterillium carbonic alloy and I can fly.
10:34No, you can't.
10:36Yes, I can.
10:37You can't.
10:38Can.
10:38Can't.
10:39Can't.
10:39Can't.
10:40Luckily, his delusion provides plenty of amusement as he insists that his wings are fully functional.
10:47He certainly puts on quite the spectacle, so it's no wonder he instantly wins over the other toys' admiration.
10:53Whoa!
10:55Oh, wow.
10:56You flew magnificently.
10:58I found my moving, buddy.
11:00Thank you all.
11:02That wasn't flying.
11:03That was falling with style.
11:06But we have to side with Woody on this one.
11:08It turns into a brilliant running gag throughout the movie, ending with a satisfying twist conclusion.
11:14We guess Buzz was right all along, sort of.
11:17You're flying!
11:18This isn't flying.
11:19This is falling with style.
11:23Ha ha ha!
11:24To infinity and beyond!
11:29Number 9, Buzz, I Am Your Father.
11:32As if one Buzz Lightyear wasn't iconic enough, the second film introduces an updated space toy, now with an added
11:39utility belt.
11:40Am I really that fat?
11:48Hoo-yah!
11:49Ow!
11:50What are you doing?
11:50You're in direct violation of code 6404.5.
11:54This creates some hilarious chaos, which we'll return to shortly.
11:57However, one of the funniest moments sees Buzz 2.0 face off against the evil Emperor Zurg.
12:04Lightyear uncovers a life-altering truth in a joke intended for older audiences, which calls back to one of the
12:10most famous plot twists in film history.
12:13I'll never give in.
12:14You killed my father.
12:16No, Buzz.
12:17I am your father.
12:20Funnier still, we later check back in with father and son, who are now bonding while playing catch.
12:25Something tells us we wouldn't get this kind of hilarity from Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.
12:30Search your feelings.
12:32You know it to be true.
12:35No!
12:38No!
12:44After a little mishap sends Buzz falling with style out the window, the toys turn on Woody.
12:50Let's string him up by his pole string!
12:51I've got hips on his head!
12:52Would you boys stop it?
12:54Tuggle him!
12:55No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, I can explain everything!
12:58Luckily, the Space Ranger doesn't get too far, and the unlikely duo reunites in Andy's mom's car.
13:03But, it turns out that Buzz on planet Earth isn't as forgiving as he might have been in his home
13:08world.
13:09I just want you to know that even though you tried to terminate me, revenge is not an idea we
13:14promote on my planet.
13:15Oh, well, that's good.
13:17But we're not on my planet, are we?
13:20No.
13:20Their subsequent fight is hilarious, but it comes to a grinding halt when the car drives off without them.
13:26Woody is left fuming while Buzz calmly delivers this amusingly eloquent insult, improvised by Tim Allen.
13:33You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.
13:37Farewell.
13:38Apparently, it made the final cut since the animators found it even funnier than what was originally scripted.
13:44It has since become one of the franchise's most quotable lines, for good reason.
13:49Number 7.
13:50Buzz questions Sid's medical credentials.
13:53Much of the comedy in the first movie comes from Buzz's refusal to believe that he's a toy.
13:58I've set my laser from stun to kill.
14:01Ah, great, great.
14:03Yeah, and if anyone attacks us, we can blink them to death.
14:05But a tumultuous visit to Sid's home slowly brings him back down to earth.
14:10The toys witness the twisted kid playing surgeon with one of his sister's dolls.
14:14Oh no, we have a sick patient here, nurse.
14:17Prepare the OR.
14:18Stop!
14:21Patient is...
14:23Pricked.
14:23And as Woody knows, Andy's next-door neighbor has a penchant for playing Dr. Frankenstein.
14:29While the cowboy looks panicked, Buzz has a more pragmatic view of their predicament.
14:33His keen senses tell him that Sid, a child, probably isn't a qualified medic.
14:38I don't believe that man's ever been to medical school.
14:41It's such a comically dry retort, especially given what's at stake.
14:45It's also perhaps the most grounded comment we've heard him utter so far.
14:49Number 6.
14:51Buzz gets excited.
14:53After Woody, Jessie, and Bullseye are saved from becoming museum exhibits, the trio head
14:58back to Andy's room.
14:59The new additions are thrilled to be part of a family again.
15:02And there's one toy in particular who's especially happy to have Jessie around.
15:07Ma'am, I, um, well, I just wanted to say you're a bright young woman with a beautiful
15:13yarn full of hair.
15:14A hair full of yarn.
15:15It's, uh, well, um, I must go.
15:18Buzz gets adorably flustered by the red-headed cowgirl, and his feelings are reciprocated.
15:23However, their moment is cut short by a canine crisis.
15:27Jessie flies into action, sailing across the room, much like Buzz did in the first film.
15:32And the spaceman's excitement is visibly evident.
15:42This joke might have gone over your head if you were just a kid when Toy Story 2 came out.
15:47But at least now you understand why older audiences found Buzz's reactions so entertaining.
15:53Use your head.
15:55But I don't want to use my head!
16:03Number 5. Meeting Utility Belt Buzz.
16:07While searching for Woody in Al's toy barn, Buzz stumbles across a section of Buzz Lightyear
16:12toys.
16:12He ends up in an altercation with Utility Belt Buzz, which gives him a priceless taste of what
16:18he was like in the early days.
16:28The same toy who once believed he could fly and shoot lasers is now completely unfazed by
16:34his counterpart's threats.
16:35Has your mind been melded?
16:37You could have killed me, Space Ranger!
16:39Or should I say, traitor!
16:42I don't have time for this.
16:44Only he gets a little tied up by their meeting.
16:46Adding to the amusement is the fact that his friends can't even tell that he's been replaced.
16:51Later, New Buzz tries to convince the gang that he's the real deal, but our Space Ranger
16:56settles the argument with one simple maneuver.
17:07I had a feeling it was you, Buzz.
17:09My front end just had to catch it with my back end.
17:11Well, two Buzzs are better than one.
17:14Number 4.
17:15First Impressions.
17:16They say you only get one chance at making a first impression.
17:20Needless to say, Buzz comes across a little spacey.
17:31After his so-called crash landing on Andy's bed, he begins to assess his surroundings.
17:36It's delightfully amusing to hear him dictate commentary on the new turf into his arm, especially
17:42because it's clear that he isn't exactly impressed.
17:45And there seems to be no sign of intelligent life anywhere.
17:49Hello?
17:50Oh, yeah!
17:50Ah!
17:51Whoa!
17:52Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
17:53The toys, except Woody, are charmed by this out-of-touch spaceman.
17:57And who can blame him?
17:58He's barely been in Andy's room for five minutes, and he's already entertained, amused, and impressed
18:04us.
18:04You'd think they'd never seen a new toy before.
18:06Well, sure, look at him.
18:08He's got more gadgets on him than a Swiss army knife.
18:11Woody hoped the novelty of the new arrival would wear off, but it persisted to infinity
18:16and beyond.
18:17Number 3.
18:18Buzz's Inner Voice Box
18:20By Toy Story 4, we'd come a long way since the time Buzz believed he was a real space ranger.
18:26But following a conversation about inner voices with Woody, he has a slight setback.
18:31The voice inside of you.
18:33Who do you think it is?
18:36Uh, me?
18:38You know, my conscience?
18:41That part of you that tells you things?
18:45What you're really thinking?
18:47Fascinating.
18:48He seems to have missed the inner part, and starts believing that his front buttons are
18:53his conscience.
18:54He spends the rest of the movie turning to the automated voice whenever he's in a pickle.
18:58Woody and Forky were last seen on the highway.
19:00But where's the highway?
19:02The slingshot maneuver is all we've got.
19:05Full speed ahead.
19:09Thanks, Inner Voice.
19:10Often, the advice is actually sound enough to get him out of scrapes.
19:14But that only makes it more hilarious every time.
19:17Buzz's desperate attempt to find answers by continuously pressing buttons without being
19:22discovered by the humans are guaranteed to make you laugh aloud.
19:26Wouldn't we all love an outer, inner voice?
19:29How do I get out of here?
19:31This planet is toxic.
19:32Closing of it to conserve oxygen.
19:34In the vacuum of space, they cannot hit you squarely!
19:37Hey!
19:38Ow!
19:38Number 2.
19:39Mrs. Nesbitt.
19:40When Buzz finally sees that he can't fly, he falls into a bit of a slump.
19:46Sid's sister Hannah finds him on the ground and takes him to her tea party.
19:50Woody then finds his buddy dressed up, being called Mrs. Nesbitt, and going hard on the
19:56Darjeeling tea.
19:56Would you like some tea, Mrs. Nesbitt?
20:00Buzz!
20:01It's so nice you could join us on such late notice.
20:04Oh, no.
20:05And it certainly seems like the beverage has had anything but a calming effect on the
20:09Ranger.
20:09The melancholic toy amusingly breaks down, briefly forgetting who he really is.
20:15I think you've had enough tea for today.
20:17Let's get you out of here, Buzz.
20:19Don't you get it?
20:20You see the hat?
20:22I am Mrs. Nesbitt!
20:25Woody slaps him out of it, and they swiftly exit, only for Buzz to hilariously relapse
20:30once again.
20:32Despondent, he begs his friend for some kind of validation.
20:35Oh, I'm a shabbed!
20:36Shh!
20:37Look at me!
20:38I can't even fly out of a window!
20:41But the hat looked good?
20:43Tell me the hat looked good!
20:44Hey, to be fair, it is a great hat.
20:48If you love games, be sure to check out WatchMojo's new game, Terrible Influence.
20:53Just launched for purchase at TerribleInfluence.com.
20:56Terrible Influence is a satirical board game about the dark side of fame from the writer
21:00of the most popular girls in school and us, WatchMojo.
21:03Boom!
21:04I can make an apology video.
21:06Oh, you so would!
21:07Click on the link in the description to check out the game and be the first to play Terrible
21:10Influence.
21:14Number 1.
21:15Spanish Buzz.
21:17He also provides plenty of hilarity, especially when he's in the middle of the game.
21:20He's in the middle of the game.
21:20He's in the middle of the game.
21:20He's in the middle of the game.
21:21He's in the middle of the game.
21:21This, admittedly, leads to some pretty funny moments.
21:24However, it gets even more hysterical when the gang tries to restore him, accidentally
21:29setting him to Spanish mode.
21:31I have to have seen it, and it has erased my memory.
21:35Have you seen my space ship?
21:37We gotta switch him back.
21:38This version of Buzz is passionate, fiery, and quite the dancer.
21:42He also provides plenty of hilarity, especially during his melodramatic rescue mission where
21:48he saves Jesse from the trash.
22:04He has no recollection of any of this later on, but Jesse's learned a handy new trick.
22:09Buzz might be back to his usual self, but his Spanish alter ego peeks through when I, un amigo,
22:15and me starts to play.
22:17I, uh, I don't know what came over me.
22:20What?
22:21Just go with it, Buzz.
22:24Which version of Buzz Lightyear do you relate to the most?
22:27Let us know in the comments.
