There are many funny moments in A Minecraft Movie, and one such instance occurs when Henry, Steve, and Garrett are together, and Steve is able to easily create a sword. Just like in the game, where players craft items, it is Steve who does it in the movie.

What makes the scene even funnier is that Garrett does not like staying behind and tries to create a sword for himself as well. However, the big-headed Garrett only looks physically strong but is not at all wise. He ends up making two buckets instead and tries to cover his embarrassment by acting as if he always planned on creating buckets instead of a sword. A hilarious moment indeed.


2) Scenes between Jennifer Coolidge and The Villager

If there is anyone who can steal the scene with her comedic timing, it's Jennifer Coolidge. In A Minecraft Movie, her character, Marlene, first hits an escaped villager with her car. She then asks for forgiveness and requests him to not press charges.

Funnily enough, this leads her to take him on a date, where she begins to have feelings for him, even though he cannot speak English. The bizarre scenes are laugh out loud, and it is Jennifer’s dedication as Marlene that makes even these random scenes so funny.


3) Jack Black atop Jason Momoa

The image of Jack Black riding on top of Jason Momoa is hilarious enough, and in A Minecraft Movie, there are plenty of such hilarious scenes that are random but so funny. Black’s character, Steve, has to ride on Momoa’s character, Garrett, as there is not enough space as they fly through the air and escape the zombie piglins.

The scene is pure physical comedy, and when the two have to fit through a small hole in a cliff, they get into a hilariously awkward position, literally pushing each other close. It is a standout moment, and the chemistry and comic timing between Black and Momoa are stellar.


4) Momoa’s fight against a chicken jockey

The chicken jockey in A Minecraft Movie has become a viral meme, spawning countless viral videos and reels across social media. The scene that leads to this viral moment is equally hilarious. Steve announces that Garrett will fight against the chicken jockey, which is absurd and funny on its own.

The line where Steve announces the chicken jockey is the moment that went viral, drawing thousands of people to laugh at the moment. However, the fight between Momoa’s Garrett and the jockey is also pretty funny. There is a lot of physical comedy, and Momoa proves that he can handle comedy as well.


5) The “Lava Chicken” song

If Jack Black is in a movie, viewers can rest assured that there will be some fun musical moments. In A Minecraft Movie, Black belts out several songs, even though the movie is not a musical, which is a funny aspect as is. Black’s singing makes Steve a distinct character.

In one of the scenes, Garrett tries to eat a piece of chicken heated by lava to prove to the newcomer Steve that he is a tough guy. However, the chicken is too hot, which makes Steve erupt into a hilarious song about it. The moment’s hilarity and the randomness of the song make the scene funny.
