* Just before the bridge in "According to Plan", there's this little exchange:
--> '''Lady Everglot''': Do you suppose your father and I ''like'' each other?\\
'''Victoria''': Surely, you must...a little?\\
'''Lord and Lady Everglot''': (''gives each other a disgusted look'') Of course not!



* When the Everglots meet the Van Dorts at the film's beginning after "According To Plan," Lady Everglot prods her husband to smile. He has extreme difficulty but [[TheUnSmile manages to produce a half-smile]].



* The end of "Remains of the Day", when Victor discreetly dances towards the exit.
* It's easy to miss, but one resident of the Land of the Dead is a barber, whose scissors are normally kept lodged in his head. Looks like he was killed with them after giving a bad haircut to an angry patron!
* The literal "second-hand shop", for those who have lost their first. The hands aid Emily in her chase by pointing the right direction.
* Emily says that something beautiful takes her breath away... Well, it would if she had any.
* When Victor tells (the dead) Scraps to play dead, the dog just gives an indignant whine, as if mildly offended.
* The scene where Victor talks about visiting his parents to the deceased Emily is a mirror of someone living speaking of their dead parents.
-->'''Emily''': Oh, what a fantastic idea! Where are [your parents] buried?
-->'''Victor''': They’re... not from around here...
-->'''Emily''': Where are they?
-->'''Victor''': *Points upwards*
-->'''Emily''': *soft gasp* Oh, they’re still alive!
-->'''Victor''': I’m afraid so.
* Elder Gutknecht's reaction to Emily's request to send them to the Land of the Living:
--> "Now why go up there when people are ''dying'' to get down here?!"



* Gutknecht also gets a great one when Victor and Emily are debating who (between Emily and Victoria) is "the other woman". Gutknecht chimes in with a calm "She's got a point." to Victor.
* The black widow attempts to console Emily with a ''very'' cliched line. Emily is suitably unimpressed.
-->'''The black widow:''' Oh, those girls are ten-a-penny - you've got so much more! You've got... you’ve got... you've got a ''[[DamnedByFaintPraise wonderful personality]]''!
-->(''Emily rolls her eyes.'')
** "Tears to Shed" is a TearJerker, but how both the Maggot and the Spider dismiss Victoria can give you a chuckle. They made being alive and breathing and having a pulse sound like being things that make you attractive and not like, you know, ''being essential''. If you have dark sense of humor, it will make you crack up with laughter.



* At the beginning of "The Wedding Song", the black widow spider notices that Victor's coat is a little torn and calls in her fellow spiders to help patch it up. The process ends up being a rather ticklish experience for Victor.



* When it's revealed that Barkis was the one who murdered Emily, one of the wedding guests' [[JawDrop jaw drops]]. ''[[LiteralMetaphor Literally]]''.
* During his fight with Lord Barkis, Victor hides behind a column, and stabs him in the butt with his fork! Barkis' [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl reaction]] makes it even better.

* Almost any moment with the maggot living inside Emily's head. Half the time he's being TheConscience, but the other half the time, he's just being a morbid DeadpanSnarker.
-->'''Maggot''': ''(pops out of Emily's eye)'' Wedding feast! I'm salivating!
-->'''Emily''': ''(covers her eyehole)'' Maggots. ''(laughs)''

-->'''Victor''': But I don't even know your name.
-->'''Maggot''': Well, that's a great way to start a marriage.
-->'''Emily''': ''(holding her head and whispering)'' Shh, shut up!

-->'''Emily''': ''(gets her right leg caught and trips and falls)''
-->'''Maggot''': Psst. Hey, I think you dropped something.

-->'''Maggot''': Tch! If I hadn't just been sitting in it, I would say that you've lost your mind!



* Victor's reaction to finding out that he not only recited his wedding vows perfectly, but also got married without even knowing it...
-->'''Emily''': Oh, in the woods, you said your vows ''so'' perfectly. ''(shows off her left hand, now fitted with Victor's ring)''
-->'''Victor''': I did?! (''{{Beat}}'') [[OhCrap I]] ''[[OhCrap did...]]'' (''starts banging his head on the bar counter'') Wake up! Wake up! ''Wake up!''



--> '''Victor:''' Thank you, yes, answer. I need answers!

* The floating dance that Emily does when she and Victor get to the land of the living. Victor looks away just in time to miss seeing Emily's leg catch on something and come free from her body, then for her to go tumbling in a heap on the ground.
* [[AwfulWeddedLife The Everglots]] on Victor:
-->'''Lord Everglot:''' If ever I see that Van Dort boy, I'll strangle him with my ''bare hands!''
-->'''Lady Everglot:''' Your hands are too fat, and his neck is too thin. You'll have to use a rope.
* When Victoria goes to the church:
-->'''Pastor Galswells:''' You should be at home, prostrate with grief!
* As bad as you might feel for her, Victoria's expressionless manner during her marriage to Lord Barkis is kind of funny. She's just so ''[[ThousandYardStare thrilled]]'' to be there.
