As long as we dont get a Jar Jar Binks like character I'm good. I never really cared for the "comic relief" characters in movies.

I would love subtle humor points that long time Godzilla fans would get.

I want the tone to be balanced in the movie, because while I think it would be great to have the movie's MAIN tone to be dark, gritty, and serious, I also want there to be funny and hilarious scenes. Even TDK had funny moments, like the Batman suspects wall in the beggining with Abe Lincoln and Bigfoot under it, the Joker during the truck in the chase, then accidentaly falling after getting off the truck, and him trying to blow up the hospital. Take TASM as another example, that movie's tone was well balanced, not as cheesy, campy, and goofy like Raimi's Spiderman and the 60s Spiderman, but not as dark as Nolan's Batman. So for a comedy scene, have something like maybe similar to that scene in The Avengers, where everyone is trying to solve the problem, then there's a guy playing Galaga. You can have that, maybe the Army Colonel and the President arguing in a room full of people about solving the problem against Godzilla, then the President leaves the room and the Colonel tells everyone to resume their work, then there's a guy playing Pac-Man (as an example). :lol: :lol:

It should have Fraiser-level comedy, where it's clever, whitty, comes in at the right moment, and makes you think about the jokes in order to fully understand them. However, comedy in this movie should be in sprites and not in every scene, and it needs to be funny in a character interaction/chemistry kind of way and not a comic-relief character.

I want the type of situational humor found in GMK. To me, it was the perfect type of humor for a Godzilla movie. The scene with the girl in the hospital and the couple that takes picture with Baragon before getting killed by Godzilla were interesting scenes. I felt a bit sickened by their deaths, but I was laughing at the same time. Great film making involves skillful playing with the audience's emotions like this.

I also don't think that scene with the girl in the hospital was supposed to be funny, but to each his own. I don't think I particularly mind the idea of some humor in this film, as long as it's actually funny.

Judging by the tone they're going for, I wouldn't want to see more than just a few, wittily scripted one liners and keep it at that.

Maybe some well placed black comedy.

I dunno about you guys, but I want some dark humor.

GINO already had Barney, I think PBS should be off limits. In fact anything even remotely close to GINO should be avoided when possible.

Both sucked. Let's have him step on Howard Stern. That way everyone will be happy.

I don't know about that...But some dissonance on the soundtrack's part would be interesting.

Mentioned before by some here, would be situational comedic bits. Like in GMK with the couple tring to get a photo with Barugon in the background. Or like in the flick, The Day After Tomorrow, when the tornados touched down in Los Angelas, you saw a bunch of dipsticks standing outside in the middle of things ,filming it with their handheld cameras. Or something like the domestic daikaiju flick, Cloverfeild, where right after the Statue of Liberty's head came to a rest after bouncing down the street. People started surrounding it, and in a zombie like fashion, started clicking pictures of the severed monument with their cell phone cameras. I could see some schmucks getting themselves killed in the flick, trying to get either the Big-G, or his prospective oppenents on film.

Another one, scnenes of people at a casino in Vegas, taking odds on how the military do against Godzilla, or how the other monsters will do against him. With people shouting over one another the amounts they're betting, and on who.
