** It's the most pitch-black of BlackComedy, but the fact that the probable reason the whole fight goes so disastrously is because Reed [[NiceJobBreakingItHero unthinkingly blabs about what poor Black Bolt's powers are to Wanda]] (thus giving her the idea to [[WipeThatSmileOffYourFace seal his mouth shut]] right as he was probably about to OneHitKill her with a [[MakeMeWannaShout super-scream]]) can induce a dark chuckle. Reed being a bit of an AbsentMindedProfessor like that at times is true to the comics, but it usually doesn't end in everyone dying!

* Rintrah, a giant green-furred minotaur, is one of the students at Kamar-Taj. [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight No one finds this unusual]]. Granted, considering there's a talking raccoon, a talking tree, a talking duck, a rock alien, a giant bug in a mech suit and a whole bunch of Norse Gods living in Norway, and [[Film/AvengersEndgame the Sorcerers fought alongside these guys]], a minotaur isn't the weirdest thing in this universe.

No wonder people [[SeenItAll didn't even blink at Rintrah's presence]].

* When Wanda finally reaches a universe where Tommy and Billy are alive, they're so terrified of her that they start throwing toy cars at her, making the fearsome and all-powerful Scarlet Witch snap "STOP IT!" like any parent at the end of their rope. The overall scene is [[NightmareFuel anything]] [[{{Tearjerker}} but funny]], but Wanda suddenly losing her cool after staying calm for most of the movie breaks the tension stupendously for a moment. The kids trying to keep her away by throwing their toys at her also skirts the line of hilarious and heartbreaking. The funny part is that it wasn't even scripted, the actors playing the kids hurt Elizabeth Olsen with one of the toys and both Lizzie's scream and the kids' reaction was genuine.[[note]]She apologies to the kids for snapping at them.[[/note]]

* While Wanda trying to mentally influence the sorcerers at Kamar-Taj to weaken the shield is pretty frightening, Benedict Wong's very [[LargeHam hammy]] "SORCERERS! FORTIFY YOUR MINDS!" while pointing both hands to his head that resembles the infamous [[WesternAnimation/Invincible2021 "Think, Mark, think!"]] is worth a little chuckle.

** Prior to that, Strange boasts to Wanda in his Zombie Strange form that [[PreAsskickingOneLiner "This time, it's gonna take more than killing me to kill me"]]. However, he also says the line aloud in the Sinister Sanctorum, in front of 838-Christine, whose expression basically screams "Really? That's the line you went with?" In fact, Strange himself and ''Wanda'' take a pause because of how terrible the line was.
