Runt: Present and accounted for, Mr. Woolensworth. [drops his pencil and falls screaming while trying to pick it up]
Ha, ha, fat people are hilarious... BITE ME, MOVIE!!
Mr. Woolensworth: [taking attendance] Morkubine Porcupine.
Morkubine: Yo.
It's funny because the movie wants us to believe he's a main character despite being in it only barely.
[Caption: He only he three lines and is featured on the box. They were trying way too hard to create a meme.]
I get that that's the joke. But it's not funny. At all.
Mr. Woolensworth: Fish Out of Water? [Fish gurgles]
On a side note, this is a lazy-ass way to introduce your main characters.
Mr. Woolensworth: Quite. Abby Mallard? [He screams. The camera pans in on Abby's face as a horn honks in the background.]
It's funny because... she's ugly?

At the gym they're playing dodgeball because of course they are.
Gym Coach: Split into 2 teams: popular vs unpopular.
Rubbing the cruel, sadistic world in a little hard, aren't you?
[cut to Runt running away from the balls]
Abby: Calm down, Runt. Just do what Fish is doing.
[Fish is break-dancing to the song "Gonna Make You Sweat"]
That's another problem with the movie, the pop-culture references are obnoxious! And they're going to get me flagged for copyright... Chicken Little comes in and we get a talking head scene. A talking head scene is where two characters do absolutely nothing but talking! I know they're playing dodgeball, but let's be serious; nothing but talking is actually happening.
Abby: You said the sky was falling. Your dad didn't support you.
Thank you for telling us WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW! Abby basically says that Chicken Little needs to talk things out with his father, in a way that the writers think is funny.
[cut to Fish acting like King Kong on a tower made out of newspapers]
Speaking of things that the writers think are funny, just referencing something does NOT make a joke funny!
