The ones that make us laugh out loud… with all of these
moments I’ve tried to space them out rather than have too many from any one
story. So I’m aware there’s a few classics that aren’t here. I’m just trying
to get a broad spectrum in. :)
10: HARLEY’S HOLIDAY - YAY WAHOO WHOPEE YAY YAY YAY!
Harley’s been told she’s fit to re-enter
society. “Yay! Wahoo! Whoopee! YAY YAY YAY!” she jumps out of her seat and
cheers. “Er… I mean, thank you, Doctor Leland.” She corrects herself with
her hands tucked behind her back and a sheepish smile.
Tee hee! Harley is not exactly
a model of restraint – which is why we love her of course – and it’s always
amusing to watch her enthusiasm at work.
9: GOTHAM GIRLS #03 - THE BEST HALLOWEEN TREAT I COULDA GOT
It’s Halloween and Ivy has got Harley
a very thoughtful gift – a life size Joker doll! Harley is understandably
ecstatic and fondles her surrogate Mistah J happily.
This is hilarious AND
naughty! How did they get away with this??? Although it’s very interesting
and indulgent of Ivy to get a Joker doll for Harley, it’s so very naughty
and full of innuendo in a web cartoon aimed at kids, that it’s too pure gold
for words. I mean, come on, we all KNOW what she would do with that doll!
(is it anatomically correct??) I think this is awful cute as well, Harley’s
obsessed enough to want a big doll of her boyfriend when he’s not around.
It’s so sick and wrong and strangely childlike. Makes me LOL and SQUEE every
time. ;)
8: JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED #41 – MINE’S BIGGER
Harley
gets into a confrontation with The Crimson Avenger. As she whips out a gun,
he whips out a bigger one. So Harley tops that only for him to top hers.
And on it goes until the guns reach gargantuan proportions.
Hehehehe!
Best ‘mine’s bigger than yours’ fight EVER. The Crimson Avenger ostensibly
wins… whipping out a gun so big Harley turns tail with an ‘eeeee’! But in
the next scene we see him, that same gun has a rubber chicken stuffed down
the barrel. You go, Harley!
7: THE MAN WHO KILLED BATMAN - A SMALL SUBPOENA
A disguised Harley pays Sidney’s bond
to take him to The Joker. “Don’t I know you?” Bullock asks. “I think I served
you a subpoena once.” A reserved and prim Harley says before walking away.
Then she turns back. “It was a small subpoena.” She clarifies.
The hilarity in this
moment is in the delivery Harley gives it. With her hair pulled back, a pair
of glasses perched upon her nose and a sedate business suit, her prim and
proper voice as she throws Bullock off is golden.
6: BATMAN & ROBIN ADVENTURES #18 - BARRACUDA DOWN THE TROUSERS…
The Joker is depressed and Harley is
trying everything to get him to laugh, including squishing pigeons with tins
of spam, driving a tractor through the wall of a Church as a wedding is underway
and painting moustaches on priceless busts in the art gallery. Not to mention
dropping a barracuda down some hapless fellow’s trousers…
The montage
of Harley’s efforts to make Joker laugh are all hilarious. There’s an edge
of meanness to all of them, not to mention wanton destruction, yet somehow
they’re also playful and kinda cute… like Harley herself! ;)
5: BATGIRL ADVENTURES #1 - WHAT EVERYONE SAYS ABOUT YOU AND SUPERGIRL?
Batgirl is, in a round about way, trying
to determine the exact nature of Harley and Ivy’s friendship. “You two are
friends,” she says, “like, you know…”
“Like what everyone says about you and Supergirl?” Harley snaps back.
Hee hee
hee! A lovely tribute to all the endless speculation that goes around the
comics world about the various female team-ups. It’s neither a confirmation,
nor a denial, but a nice little turnabout and gets us all giggling.
4: HARLEQUINADE - BUBBLE HEADED BLONDE BIMBO
Harley figures out where The Joker
is keeping a kidnapped mayor. “And here you thought I was just another bubble-headed
blonde bimbo.” She says triumphantly to Batman. “Well, the joke’s on you.
I’m not even a real blonde.”
One of those
oh so very classic lines everyone associates with Harley, and one of her
first golden moments.
3: THE MAN WHO KILLED BATMAN - AMAZING GRACE
As a memorial coffin containing the
“man who killed Batman”, Sid the Squid, is rolled into a vat of acid, Harley
plays the classic hymn ‘Amazing Grace’ on the wazoo.
The feeling
and intensity in this performance is what makes it so golden. You can really
tell Harley is pouring her heart and soul into this gut-busting rendition.
2: BATMAN ADVENTURES #28 - ZOSE EYES… ZOSE LIPS
Disguised as German psychiatrist, Harley
gets carried away extolling Joker’s virtues to Batman and plants an enormous
kiss upon the crazed clown. When she pulls away, she has left her false moustache
behind on Joker’s mouth.
This scene
never gets old for me. It is laugh out loud hilarious and just such a classic
Harley moment of her usual excessiveness and expressiveness.
1: HARLEY & IVY #3 - IT… SICKENS ME!
After
telling Ivy an upcoming scene in her movie is “very David Lynch”, Ivy responds
with a sardonic smile: “You mean Jerry Lewis.” “Don’t correct me!” Harley
cries, “It… SICKENS me!”
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. This
scene has much more meaning if you know the William Shatner anecdote that
goes along with it.
This gets a belly laugh outta me every time I read it, particularly with
the crazed-eyed expression Harley has as she says it. Ah, what a girl!
