* The druid Psychiatrix ([[PunnyName of course]]) goes to the little village to see what's up with Getafix, who has previously taken an inadvertent menhir to the head and [[StupidityInducingAttack come over a bit dopey as a result]]. Psychiatrix asks Asterix and Obelix what exactly happened to Getafix. Before Asterix can get a word in, Obelix demonstrates by flattening Psychatrix with a menhir, resulting in ''two'' dimwitted druids, much to Asterix's visible frustration.

* The "Tower of Londinium" scene. Obelix and Dipsomaniax escape their cell on the top floor and fight their way to the bottom of the tower. Seconds later, Asterix and Anticlimax enter the tower through the other entrance and fight their way to the top, calling for Obelix. Obelix hears them, and fights his way back up the tower as Asterix fights his way back down, until they ''finally'' meet in the middle. This is made doubly funny in the animated version when Obelix' descent involves knocking a legionary into a wall to create a legionary-shaped indentation, and then Asterix' ascent involves converting the indentation into a [[ImpactSilhouette legionary-shaped hole.]]

Vitalstatistix ''immediately'' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck dreads the idea with resignation]] before Asterix even starts explaining it, let alone execute it.

* The absolute stretch that had to be made for the English translation when the native merchants meet at Wineandspiritix's shop - in the French original, the whole scene is a very regional joke about the dialect used by the Arvenians, but this would make absolutely no sense for anyone outside of France, so there's a half-assed joke about a slammed door and "bangers", since the young Gaul just entering was carrying a link of sausages... which ''still'' doesn't work, because "bangers" is a UK-exclusive word for sausages, not anywhere else.

to:

* Knowing they can't just beat up the civilian Romans living in the Mansion, since they're really only pawns in Caesar's scheme, Asterix and Obelix come up with an alternative; they set up Cacafonix with an apartment of his own in the building, telling him it's so he can be around civilized people who'll appreciate his "music". One night of hearing the bard practice is enough to clear out the whole building. That would have been the end of the scheme, had Squareonthehypothenus not been so stubborn and had the local Roman garrisson move in until new tenants could be found.
** Asterix and Obelix barely make it out to the Mansions lawn before bursting out in laughter after getting Cacafonix settled, knowing the Romans are in for a rough night.
--> '''Asterix''': *almost crying with laughter* We really are laying it on a bit thick!
--> '''Obelix''': *laughing just as hard* I almost feel sorry for those Romans!
** There's no vacancies at the Mansion at first, so Asterix and Obelix decide to get one of them to leave by having Obelix act like a froth-mouthed madman whenever the Romans visit the village, then later pretend Asterix lost track of him. Said Roman is the same guy who didn't even ''want'' to move to Gaul in the first place, but he won the first Mansion apartment at a Colosseum lottery and was told he'd be fed to the lions if he didn't accept his "prize".
* The Gauls get an early preview of what gentrification will be like 2000 years later once Roman money starts flowing into the village; almost all the shops start selling either fish or "antiquities" because those are the items most in demand, and the Roman visitors try to buy everything that's not nailed down, including Obelix's menhirs, Vitalstatistix shield and Getafix's cauldron.



* Vitalstatix promises his brother in law a stew flavored... With ''Caesar's laurel wreath''. And sends Asterix and Obelix to collect it. In his defense, [[LiquidCourage he]] ''[[LiquidCourage was]]'' [[LiquidCourage drunk]]...

** Obelix, who got just as drunk, happily agreed to the mission.
--> '''Obelix''': ZIGACTLY!! (a drunken "exactly")
--> '''Vitalstatistix''': Come into my arms, Obelix!
* The ForeignQueasine served at Homeopatix's house. It might be expensive, to show off his wealth, but "cow's hoof mold" and "beaver tails in strawberry sauce" really doesn't sound very appetizing. At least the wine is good...



** Before they're led to the arena, Obelix asks the guard for some oil to rub on himself to look good, like the gladiators do. The guard says that mustard would probably be more helpful for his job.




to:

* The note at the end, revealing that the HideousHangoverCure Asterix and Obelix came up with for Humerus's family would go on to hasten the fall of the Roman Empire, as the lack of hangovers would encourage the Romans to drink and feast even more with no consequences.

* The Britons still have their iconic tea break, not letting silly details like "tea leaves not existing in Europe yet" stop them (tea drinking has existed for a ''very'' long time, but only in Asia). Instead, they're just straight up drinking cups of hot water, with a spot of milk in it depending on taste, much to the confusion of the Romans, who sees it as a barbaric custom. During the climax, after the loss of the potion barrel, Asterix uses the strange herbs Getafix gave him before they left the village to brew a substitute, which, sure enough, turns out to be tea leaves, giving the Britons access to tea about 1600 years ahead of schedule.

* In order to infiltrate the spa, Obelix pretends to have health problems. He goes "ow" unconvincingly as the druid treats him... until the druid says he'll need a strict diet. Then he ''really'' means it.
