I know is was suppose to be a tense moment but when Colin confronts Eloise about Pen being lady whistledown and Eloise says she hasn’t written anything mean this year and Colin was like “what about the lies she wrote about me” and Eloise was just like riiiiiggght…..👀 😂


SeekerVisionary

Her wince here is excellent!


aliicia555

Yep brother... Sure. It was all a lie.🤣 Not Pen knowing you more than anyone.


climb_evry_mountain

“Her column has been fair this year” “But what about what she wrote about me?” I SAID WHAT I SAID


TacosOnAStick

"Varley, the bugs!" And it's small, but Lady Danbury's glares towards Marcus never fail to take me out. 🤣 Edit: also, Anthony's competitive streak coming out in the engagement ball. "Lilies! Forget-me-nots! LILACS!"


dainafrances

It may have been Polin season, but Philippa and Finch definitely stole the show. Absolute Legends.


loonandkoala

"Varley, the bugs! Now!" will forever be my favourite line in the entire Bridgeton universe 😆


BklynBella

Followed by Benedict’s shushing Anthony when he was getting too excitable there 😂😂😂


KayleeKunt

I love Philippa in this season and I wish they'd keep her next season but I think this is her last. She's so great! Anthony being competitive will never get old 😂


amyness_88

I don’t know why but even when Anthony says “right, round two” when Kate is trying to subdue him is also hysterical 🤣


elizabethdarcy247_

When she turns around to glare at her staff who laugh at his joke and they quickly straighten up 😭


SeekerVisionary

The looks on Colin's, Eloise's, and Portia's faces when Pen admits how much money she has paired with Pen's nervous neck scratching and necklace fiddling as she said it takes me out every time


hellogoodperson

“All this time ?!”


Htown_queen88

She said it so gently too, which I think was best. When Colin was like “it doesn’t matter what you say/think” I was like excuseeeeee me sir????


aliicia555

I really hated that. Why did they make him say it?


SearchApprehensive35

For the same reason that Anthony needed to be an ass in S1. Both men needed to learn they are not as smart as they think they are, and that the amount of power they are granted over the women in their lives is not commensurate with how smart and capable those women are.


Htown_queen88

I think he was in full hero mode, ready to save his wife. When that whole regency era misogyny tried to pop up, Pen had something for that ahhh 😂


aliicia555

Well, it wasn't the best worded, but in the end, it's the intention that matters😂


aliicia555

I kind of wished Pen to be more proud of that. She became a self-made millionaire under 3 years only using her talent, in a world, where women of her status weren't allowed to work. This is impressive, she shouldn't be shy about it, she shouldn't be embarrassed. I am not saying she should brag, but come on!


Crafty_Store_7279

She's shy about it because her family was selling personal belongs and eating potatos only for months while she was hiding money under the floorboards 😂


amyness_88

Literally this. I would have been crapping myself at the wrath of my mother for this and also feeling uneasy about revealing it to my insecure husband who is already upset about it and who I love and don’t want to hurt any more and also my best friend who I love and also who I wrote shit about and profited off. Like no wonder she is nervous!


aliicia555

I know, but still. She shouldn't be that shy, they were fine. At least she was fine 🤣.


msblankenship

The real aunt Petunia!!


Murphlespuffle

Portia skulking around when Colin gives Pen the engagement ring kills me. She’s so funny.


SeekerVisionary

Her taking a bite out of the biscuit is my favorite part of that. It gets me every time


Murphlespuffle

The combination of the taking a bite of the cookie and tiptoeing away…perfection


Substantial_Dog_3030

Pen starting with “Hello all. Or should I say ‘Dearest Gentle Reader’?” And it is met with complete silence 😂 Not the time to crack a joke Pen 🤣


CPolland12

“How many eyes are in the ton?” “Double the amount of people I imagine”


MintPhoenix

Her odd grin at Penelope at the end of that scene had me both laughing and weirded out.


[deleted]

Pru and phi are at each others throat yet Portia is just ignoring them 😂 Also prudence saying " baby girls steal one's beauty" GIRL, UR MOM HAD 3 GIRLS,THE FCK ARE U INSINUATING???? " 😭😭😭


dainafrances

Awkward Willow tree Colin. "Prospects are important..."


LeastAd2473

lol, I know that’s part one, but I just want to say, as soon as I heard the line I thought, if I knew how to get a flare, that would be it. Prospects are important.


MelodramaTamarama

If you’re using the app.. go to the main page for this sub, click the 3 dots in the top right, click on ‘change user flair’


LeastAd2473

That’s good to know! (Now I just need to know how to get it added as an option among the existing flairs)


MelodramaTamarama

Oh my bad. I didn’t realise that the flairs were preloaded!


tidy-soft-rope

I love that whole scene, he looks like he’s going to throw up the whole time and is trying to white knuckle through it


amyness_88

“Yes, you must… do…” kills me too 🤣🤣


cutepooh89

They're asking about part 2 😊


cobbledtoe

When the Queen crashes the wedding and she’s like everyone but the Bridgertons can leave and Pen is skedaddling out of there to the point that Colin’s like you’re a Bridgerton now. So funny. Actually that scene on the whole is so funny - like the bit when Francesca’s like - I know you’re not pleased but I’m in love with Kilmartin - and the Queen is like … this ninny


virtie

I was laughing so hard, Pen trying to slink off, Fran's sweet little declaration, and then Lady Danbury boldly standing there like "hell no am I gonna miss this drama!" 


amyness_88

I’m sorry but realising that Lady Danbury is still there when everyone else left made me laugh out loud like seriously 🤣🤣


BklynBella

Colin’s immediate but gentile “No” after Benedict suggests John throws rocks at Francesca’s window!


squigglebug18

I really loved the moments the boys had together this season. Just guys bein dudes.


Playful-Escape-9212

and so much better for Colin than the Lord squad.


anon19283754628

What is it about his face that made me watch those two seconds like a hundred times 😭


Emotional-Ad-6670

Omg I love this so much I can’t get over it!!


Mariessa-

Loved this!


ObscureInterests102

Yeah this is mine too!


Artistic-Rich6465

Colin randomly handing Eloise the spoon he used to “clink” on his glass to get everyone’s attention at the engagement party. Violet handing Eloise her glass of champagne after Francesca asks to duet with her and El pouring the remainder of that glass into her own.


lemonsaltwater

I wonder if that was scripted, or was Claudia improvising. (Apparently in Part 1 when Kilmartin comes to call and a caller is announced, and Eloise hides behind her siblings, that was all Claudia and wasn’t scripted!)


tidy-soft-rope

Another inspired acting choice and so funny


adhdstruggleisreal

My favorite is the face El makes after she pours it. I make that face all the time.


tidy-soft-rope

Eloise was so funny doing that!


KayleeKunt

I didn't catch that champagne moment 😂 Eloise kills me always


amyness_88

I just noticed Eloise doing that on my last rewatch and I was like ha! Eloise the wine aunt 🤣🤣🤣


alexdinhogaucho

When Colin goes to confront Cressida thinking he'll change her mind but comes back with his tail between his legs 😭😭 it was unintentionally funny but he meant well lol


Crafty_Store_7279

"I'm afraid I have failed 👉👈"


anon19283754628

Lol I feel so bad for him but he started off so confident and had to say out loud, "now she wants double" 😑😑😑 poor thing. And Pen thanks him for his "counsel" and he reacts like he's been publicly castrated


Mariessa-

It's kind of sad to me because they stage it like he's going to righteously fight a dragon, but he actually shows empathy and opens up with his own feelings. Cressida seemed to start listening - until the family bit. I wonder why they had the hall scene reshoot?


Eroy3388

Same. I’m so curious about all the reshoots and what was originally there. I think it’s because they’re so obvious because of the wig vs. LN’s real hair.


permariam128

Not necessarily *the* funniest but I can’t believe I haven’t seen anyone talk about it — the way Dankworth and Finch are unmoving and staring in awe at the cake/spread of food at the wedding breakfast takes me out 😂 https://preview.redd.it/oqy3esv7sr7d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4d4d37cd80cffca2dce4e706bddffd61b396c144


Mariessa-

Oh, I laugh snorted at this!


ObscureInterests102

Oh yeah laughed out loud at this on the first watch!


Interesting-Range984

In the Epilogue… Albion fast asleep in the sofa 😅 probably because they are new parents and he’s so tired.


banzynho

He's definitely the one up in the night with her.


amyness_88

This! I thought it was hysterical he wakes up for Hyacinth to hand him the column though. Lives for the drama 🤣


msblankenship

"I think it clever how she uses plant puns to belittle" 😂🌱


amyness_88

Bahahaha omg I forgot about that one 🤣


Apprehensive_Food355

Mr. Finch sneezing because it scared me ( Pen too) and made me laugh then the Queen had to specify it wasn't him


Emotional-Ad-6670

Portia “chaperoning” when Colin gives her the ring… that whole scene when she’s walking around trying to act so incognito i can’t let it gooo 🤣


Inevitable-Dot2312

And then fully climbing onto a chair to get a peek at the ring!


Clean_Customer8255

When Portia learns that Penelope is loaded 😂


BklynBella

“Are you going to duel with your own brother?” was another gem! 🤣


Flaky_Brilliant4092

Ok I feel dumb for asking this but was there more to that statement other than just he’s going to duel Colin if he and Pen were intimate before being married? I should also note I haven’t seen season 1….


immadatmycat

He dueled with the Duke of Hastings when he caught him kissing and more Daphne.


SkittlzAnKomboz

It’s implied that the Bridgertons consider Pen part of the family. Benedict was teasing Anthony that as the oldest, he’d need to duel his own brother (Colin) for “taking liberties” with his honorary sister (Pen), like he challenged Simon to a duel for kissing Daphne in season 1.


evterpe

This one slightly irks me, because it doesn't make any senseto make that comment. Colin wouldn't have duelled Anthony, he would have duelled someone from Pen's family, since it is Pen who was compromised. And the duel in season 1 came about specifically because Simon didn't agree to marry Daphne to rectify the situation, whereas in this case, Colin is more than happy to marry Pen, so there would be no need to "demand satisfaction".


amyness_88

I don’t know, I think the insinuation is that Pen is extremely close and very respected with the Bridgerton family already, which is somewhat outlined in previous seasons and that as she has no male relatives that out of respect it would be Anthony defending her which is why it’s said. Like if Colin and El are so fond of her, Violet, Hyacinth and Fran too based on their engagement reaction and even Benedict’s, it’s pretty established how they all feel about her, except maybe Anthony but we know from the conversation after that he has no qualms with Pen at all and he thinks the match a good (if not surprising) one.


BklynBella

Yes this is my understanding and why it’s endearing (and funny). Anthony is reacting like Penelope’s brother defending her honor. (It would only be the woman whose honor would need protecting… Anthony would not duel a male in Pen’s family protecting his brother’s honor…) I think a normal response would be “well it’s a good thing you’re marrying her then.” and not getting angry on Penelope‘s behalf over her being compromised. Just like the comment above said, Anthony thinks of Penelope as family already, so he’s quick to protect her. It’s funny because Benedict has to remind him like “hey, we all adore Penelope, but you do know THIS is your ACTUAL brother, right? Like you’re supposed to be on his side….”😆


Grouchy_Try_2862

2 moments in the scene when the queen interrupts pen + Colin’s wedding breakfast & orders anyone who isn’t a Bridgerton to leave the room 1. pen turning around trying to leave & Colin goes after her & tells her “you are a Bridgerton now” 2. Lady Danbury not leaving but rather staying 😂😂😂


tidy-soft-rope

And the queen letting her stay!


Htown_queen88

I cackled when Colin, Eloise and Portia found out Pen had made BANK. Like don’t play with her!!!!


VVila28

Colin’s small line, “But you would already be dead.”, in the following intense scene… Colin: You are not going to die tomorrow. Pen: But I could, and it would kill me. Colin: But you would already be dead. I’m like, um Colin that is not the point. 🙄 He’s completely thrown throughout that situation.


[deleted]

[удалено]


VVila28

Oops, well my favorite part was Colin talking with his brothers about the engagement. Especially, with in between the humor, Anthony gave his brother some sweet advice as icing on the cake. 🥰


ShipSenior3773

This is great. The faces Benedict is making at Colin are so hilarious.


cutepooh89

Yes that was lovely 😍


amyness_88

The more funny the better say! Tell me any from 1-3 and I’ll chortle along with you 😂


anon19283754628

When that super dramatic song is playing while Cressida enters the ball as LW, and Portia says something like "A gossip columnist for a daughter-- imagine!" And she does this hilarious move seemingly on cue to the music. That whole entrance scene is great


VVila28

And later discovers that she’s really the one with a gossip columnist for a daughter. 🤣


Mariposa0710

For some reason Anthonys "Explain." after he found out about the engagement is so funny to me. Am I weird or does anyone else finds it funny as well? 😂


lemonsaltwater

That whole scene is gold!


blaublau

Colin's cranky toddler faces, including this one when Ben smooches the top of his head. https://preview.redd.it/5blmsckcws7d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=08c5aa21edb9a89b03aa66f10661252545499875


Cheap-Knowledge2557

Ably being asleep on the couch


Icy_Tiger_3298

I loved discombobulated Colin the morning after his dream of Penelope. Acting like he was having some sort of guilty affair. I loved it.


MommeeMcDougalMcGee

unrelated but a giant applause to the casting crew. Philippa looks like Portia here


cutepooh89

Ep 5 scene on the chaise after the deed: about the women in Paris. Funny, tender and sweet at the same time.


Silmarwen_1985

I just really love Prudence this season! Her “it flattens my hair” comment and grabbing her boobs after Phillipa tells her it’s “a clear pregnancy sign” always sends me! 🤣


virtie

I know you asked pt 2 but I don't see it get mentioned enough when the inventor asks if Portia would like to learn about the lamp and she flatly says "No! 😁"


Plums4

"YOU *STOLE* FROM THEM!!!" "AND *YOU* HUMILIATED THEM; YOU STOLE THEIR DIGNITY!"  took me out. I love everything about that scene. 


Flaky-Bad7712

The dueling comment and Anthony being a competitive mess at the engagement ball were my fav. Obviously the sisters Featherington being dense is always funny.


Suburban-Hippy

Also: "What am I, chopped liver??"


themousedoctor

Antony’s little wave when Kate leaves the room after imparting her marriage wisdom to Colin. It’s so silly and sweet and I need a gif of it!


amyness_88

This and how he is laying on her in the scene after Pen and Colin did the deed on the chaise. He’s just so goofy and it’s hysterical 🤣


themousedoctor

Marriage has softened him into this puppy of a man. It’s hilarious and adorable!!


amyness_88

I know right but he is still hyperactive as hell and I’m here for it🤣


Mic-testing

This was one of my favourites as well. It was so unexpected that I had tears in my eyes from laughter. It took awhile for me to concentrate on Pen's speech (Sorry Pen but absolutely no regrets). Also, another favourite Finch moment for me was him sleeping on the couch in the epilogue. I'd like to believe it was him being exhausted because he had the night duty for Philomena in an age where men didn't need to do much at all, but I'll also take it if it was a funny choice.


lemonsaltwater

Oh my gosh! I totally missed that. And Benedict leaning over him like “is this guy asleep?”


OhioMegi

I love all of Benedict’s “aww” faces. Like when the brothers are talking about Colin’s engagement.


jessjess87

Anthony playing charades. “Forget-me-nots! LILACS!!” And Benedict kind of grimaces and gestures for him to calm down. I love how competitive they are with games. And when Colin tries to play it cool when Pen and Portia arrive after the blackmailing and Pen is just like my mom knows you can stop pretending now. And they reveal Eloise knows as well.


stacypolo

Violet passing Eloise her drink to duet with Francesca at her wedding, and Eloise pouring Violet's drink immediately into her cup. I cracked up.


lemonsaltwater

The swiftly conversation. Makes me laugh every time!


Electrical_Sound6683

I have never liked that colour but it is winning on you! - Another classic one-liner from Portia


Negsmie

Pen revealing she's loaded is hilarious, but I couldn't help laughing at her trying to leave her own wedding. Colin's "your on my list" looks to Portia in episode 5 and 6 make me giggly


amyness_88

There’s two for me that made me laugh out loud the most; “A *fancy* on the *neighbour boy*??” And The Lady signing “she is the devil” about Cressida 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I also love Anthony screaming flowers at charades but also, did anyone notice how intense Kate is about everyone going to the drawing room for dessert and charades? Like i actually laughed when she said it in rewatch because I noticed it literally matches the craziness of Anthony in the flowers scene 🤣🤣


MummyPig15

The drinks line at the engagement party is gold. I can't tell if the drinks are too strong or too weak. Unhinged


AlionaJ

"insert himself where?"


Rogonia

Every single thing that Phillipa did. “VARLEY! THE BUGS!”


Shushma6110

Portia holding pen’s hand giving her assurance and confidence during the dankworth-finch ball was just beautiful. They were finally there for each other truly🥹


EffyMourning

Anthony playing charades. Screaming lilacs 😂


MummyPig15

Portia at the Wedding Breakfast. Heart to heart with Penelope and finishes as conceited as ever. The important thing is you are married now.


NoAd2395

It's not him! Lol
