The QE2 style funnel looks ridiculous when it's squashed, as here, although I was never fond of it to start with.
It seems to have become a "Cunard" brand now, all three ships have it. A good example of what it looks like without the pointless windscoops and flaring at the sides is on the new Arcadia - she has a "Cunard" funnel but without the aforementioned bits, and much better it looks too.

The funnel was apparently suppose to be significantly taller but bridge clearance prevented that. Also the large engine space at the base of the funnel further reduced it's height. The aft-galley exhaust pipes on QM2 remind me a little of ones on ss France though not as sleek. The following view of QM2 is far more flattering.
