How about Bella's dad with the rifle saying "Bring him in," or whatever it is that he says? It reflects a lot of our feelings about Edward.  ;D

Relaxing Dragon

Interestingly enough, I think that was the one part of the movie I actually liked.

Raven

I don't think that makes a good stinger, it was meant to be an actual joke.

Well it's a really cliched joke (Dad is trying to intimidate his daughter's boyfriend? You don't say...), that's something.

Agreed... its kind of a failed joke in my eyes. The dad seems to lack any kind of intimidation throughout the movie... so it doesn't work too well.

Probably because he's the only sorta-likable character in the whole movie.

Good point.... I'll also go along with saying the girl who pitches in the baseball game seemed to one of the few actors in the movie who didn't look stiff when delivering their lines (that and she didn't have some sort of nervous twitch).

Personally I'd go for one of Edward's cartoony running or climbing shots.

Yeah, the treadmill fast running up the hill darn near made me keel over laughing.

True -- but it has an unintentionally funny part to it too, when you consider how many of us actually WOULD like to shoot Edward.

Phantom of Krankor

I'd have to say the scene where the girl is at the hospital and suddenly starts stuttering like crazy.
I am Ambassador Phantom, from the planet Krankor! I am rapidly approaching your planet... in the warship, which you have just seen. I will arrive tomorrow night at precisely eight o'clock. At that time I shall make my wishes known to you. You will obey them... or die! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

The seat belt scene without question.

Rattrap007

for me it is the boner backwards leap.

I'd go with Bella's dad tracing a halo around his head as his way of saying, "I'll be nice." If you take it out of context, as in just showed that part by itself, you'd be like, "Dude, what?"
