** Richie's massive OhCrap reaction once hearing Pennywise's voice 30 years later...as the clown says this.

* In TheMovie -- "Excuse me, sir!! Do you have Prince Albert in a can?? ''You do??'' Well, you better let the poor guy out!!" The incredibly lame joke isn't what's funny, but Creator/TimCurry's ridiculously hammy laugh.

* The scene in the movie where Bev first meets the losers club after 30 years and makes out with each one (including the married Bill) is funny. Though those who didn't read or heard of the novel wouldn't get why but those who have would. Though it wasn't mentioned in the movie it is heavily implied that [[spoiler: she had sex with all the members of the losers club. It's confirmed in the novel]].

* When [[spoiler:Pennywise kidnaps Audra]], he initially appears as a gas station attendant who asks [[spoiler:her]] if [[spoiler:she]] wants a balloon, only to reveal himself as the MonsterClown and show [[spoiler:her]] the deadlights. During this phase, he repeatedly asks his victim "Don'tcha want it?", and gets increasingly frantic, as if a customer of [[UsefulNotes/McDonalds Ronald McDonald]] rejected his Big Mac.

* "Kiss me, fat boy!" also deserves a special mention.

* The TV movie's DVD commentary features several of the stars, and they joke around quite a bit, offering some great NightmareRetardant to what's happening onscreen.

** And this goes on as Richie ''attempts'' to talk to the librarian about seeing Mike, while Pennywise, not giving one damn whatsoever, just fucks around on the upper floor [[{{Troll}} drowning out Richie as much as he can]] with the goofiest smile on his face, before culminating in him yelling in an outrageously hammy tone: ''[[GetOut "GET OUT!"]]''

** It's even funnier when you consider ''Film/TheRoom''.
