* [[https://airletsmelive.tumblr.com/post/189431615129 This]] behind-the-scenes video (doubling as a heartwarming moment), in which Creator/BillSkarsgard happily high-fives his young co-stars and asks them if they're ready to beat the shit out of him.

** Pennywise helps convince [[spoiler:Henry Bowers to murder his father]] by hijacking a SubvertedKidsShow [[https://youtu.be/1uhv6sb83yM?t=22s and leading the cast of children in a rousing chant of "Kill them all! Kill them all!"]] -- complete with FollowTheBouncingBall!

---> '''Pennywise:''' This isn't real enough for you, Billy? ''I'm'' not real enough for you? '''[[KickTheDog It was real enough for Georgie!]]'''

---> '''Leper:''' Do you think this will help me, Eddie?

-->'''Ben:''' Derry started as a beaver trapping town.
-->'''Richie:''' And it still is, [[LampshadedDoubleEntendre am I right, boys?]]

--> '''Richie:''' I'm sorry, who invited Molly Ringwald into the group?
--> '''Beverly:''' [''gives him an unamused look and [[FlippingTheBird the finger]]'']

--> '''Richie:''' The list is longer than my wang!
--> '''Stan:''' That's not saying much.

--> '''Richie:''' Hey, Eddie, is this your birth control?
--> '''Eddie:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Yeah, I'm saving 'em for your sister.]]

Even though the new ''It'' is chock full of NightmareFuel, that doesn’t mean we can’t have a good laugh!

*** And it's all set to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF5krjVVcso this]] [[SarcasmMode beautiful piece of music]], which somehow manages to capture every single one of these moods '''''simultaneously'''''.

*** And there's the show's host. Pennywise making her [[spoiler:look at the camera and say "That's it, Henry! Kill him! Kill them all!"]]? Horrifying. Continuing the chant with the kids as she walks off-camera with an expression that clearly says "Why do I even bother with this job when my kids are screaming for murder and [[spoiler:a clown is rewriting my lines]]?" [[CrossesTheLineTwice Hilarious]].

** After [[spoiler: bringing Bev down to IT's lair]], Pennywise makes his grand entrance by... dancing a very awkward clomp dance, all the while wearing the most bored "I really just want to get to the murdering" expression.

*** If you have a very sharp eye, pause at the right time, or slow [[https://youtu.be/Gwnw8mgDy-o?t=117 the video]] down, you'll see Pennywise is plugging his ears just before the fireworks go off. [[spoiler: Knowing what we know now about IT from [[Film/ITChapterTwo the second half]], this could be a hint of foreshadowing that IT has to abide by the laws of whatever he transforms as; ergo, as a clown, he has ears, and could be deafened by loud noises.]]

*** It's also worth noting that Pennywise's eyes are slowly rolling into the back of his head the longer the dance goes on, as if to say "I pick the one kid [[spoiler: who ''isn't'' afraid of me]], and this is the reaction I get."
*** [[spoiler:Since Bev has already conquered her fear of IT, the entire scene plays like a stand-up comedian trying out half-finished material (such as just creeping her out by "being weird") after he starts bombing on-stage; no matter how annoyed he's getting, he's still resigned himself to the bit.]]
*** Right afterwards, [[spoiler: Bev states she's not afraid of Pennywise]]. He pulls her in closer, as if to attempt a retort, but then stops and briefly gives a look that practically ''screams'' "well, shit."

* Eddie [[spoiler: After finding out his medicine is a placebo used by his mother to control him, stands up to her. A moment of awesome, which becomes a moment of funny when he mispronounces placebo as "gazebo".]]
-->''"[[spoiler:They're gazebos! They're bullshit!]]"''

** During the first trip to the Neibolt House, [[spoiler: Eddie breaks his arm. Terrifying. Then the other Losers find him and attempt to pop his arm back into place causing him to scream "Do not fucking touch me!" Hilarious.]]
* The pharmacy employee writing "LOSER" on Eddie's [[spoiler:arm cast]], which he tries to change to "LOVER." Also counts as a Tearjerker.

* Awesome as it is, after Mike [[spoiler:shoves Henry down the well, the psychopath bounces against the walls before falling all the way down.]]
* Though it's supposed to be a bonding moment, when [[spoiler: the guys help Beverly clean up the blood stained bathroom it's done via The Cure's "Six Different Ways" in pure HardWorkMontage fashion.]]

* When [[spoiler: IT kidnaps Beverly]], Bill goes to rally the other losers. When he meets up with Richie in the arcade, who's playing ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', the latter says he pretends his opponent is Bill because of their earlier fight. This [[InsultBackfire backfires]] once you notice that Richie's health-bar is less than half-full while his opponent's has significantly more (Richie only hit him ''once'' on-screen!), which would imply that Bill would beat the shit out of him.

* During Richie's rant [[spoiler: towards Bill, after Pennywise's offer to let them go, he said the following line: "You brought me to a fucking crackhead house." The camera cuts away to Pennywise looking ''extremely'' offended.]]
** How does he top it all off? [[spoiler:"[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And now... I'm gonna have to]] [[PreAssKickingOneLiner kill this fucking clown."]]]]

* At the quarry, Bill, Ben, Eddie, Richie, and Stan are stripped down to their tighty whiteys, and trying to work up the courage to jump in... then Beverly, behind them, strips to her underwear and jumps in. This gets them moving.

** Another funny thing about this scene, when you put this scene in the context of an outsider. The kid is more embarrassed by New Kids on the Block than the fact that he's been studying the towns bloody history caused by something he believes is a demonic clown which hides in the sewer. He'd rather be labeled a lunatic than a devoted fanboy of NKOTB.

** Then [[https://www.instagram.com/p/Bbfeyp6lZ42/?tagged=juannywise this happened]].

** During the scene at Neibolt House, Pennywise has Eddie good and scared and is about to take a bite out of him when IT hears Bill in another part of the house comforting a terrified Richie by telling him everything's not real. Pennywise stops right before IT's teeth touch Eddie and just looks behind Itself with the most straight up ''offended'' look you can imagine. All that work IT put in, making this house into the creepiest one imaginable, digging into their personal fears, and it ain't enough for this kid? IT doesn't even ''care'' about eating Eddie anymore; IT's ''art'' has been insulted!

** During the first trip to the Neibolt House, [[spoiler: Eddie breaks his arm. Terrifying. Then the other Losers find him and attempt to pop his arm back into place to which he responds by screaming "Do not fucking touch me!" Hilarious.]]

* Awesome as it is, after Mike [[spoiler:shoves Henry down the well, the psychopath bounces against the well walls before falling all the way down.]]

* More fun on the house on Neibolt Street. Right after Pennywise comes out of the refrigerator near Eddie he does a slow walk and mocks his asthma as well as Eddie's sobbing.

* Before the kids go into the house to fight Pennywise, Richie finds an empty bottle which he breaks against the house's banister [[GrievousBottleyHarm in an attempt at improvising a weapon]]. Unfortunately for him, pretty much the entire thing except the neck is completely shattered, so his attempt at a badass gesture has been ruined and he turns sheepishly around to face the others and tosses it aside.

** During the Losers' first trip into the Neibolt house, they all manage to end up fighting Pennywise together after Bev shoves a spear through IT's eye. Not funny in and of itself, but Pennywise's reaction of over-playing his wound is darkly funny.
** When Bill and Richie try to find the source of Eddie's screaming in the house, they find that the way out of the room they're in has been replaced by three doors, labelled "Scary", "Very Scary" and [[SchmuckBait "Not Scary At All."]]

** Eddie's encounter with [[BodyHorror the leper]] is creepy, but it begins with the latter picking up one of the pills Eddie dropped and delivering the following line right before shoving his horribly deformed face in front of the camera:

** The door is appropriately squeaky for a horror movie, just that Ben is probably feeling a different kind of horror.

** One of the best parts of the scene? Belch screaming "Fuck you, bitch!" at Bev in SlowMotion right before she chucks a rock at him.

** The way they do it is seeing if the person who spits across the quarry with the least distance will be the first to jump in. That one person who happens to be the one with the least distance? Eddie, [[EpicFail who manages to spit on himself]].

*** The look on Pennywise's face when he notices that his illusions fail on Bill screams "Are you ''fucking kidding me''?"

*** The kicker? These messages are written in what looks to be dried blood. Pennywise isn't even ''trying'' to be subtle.

*** It's also worth noting that Pennywise's eyes are slowly rolling into the back of his head the longer the dance goes on, as if to say "I pick the one kid [[spoiler: who ''isn't'' afraid of me]], and this is what I get."

** Later, after their swim, Beverly is suntanning on a rock still in her underwear, and the boys are all staring at her without saying anything. Until she looks at them. Then, they all quickly turn their head somewhere else. Also, this is set to "Bust a Move" by Young MC.

** It's made even funnier if you [[NeverTrustATrailer watched the trailer beforehand]], which includes a rather dramatic shot of it coupled with Stan's narration about how great childhood is supposed to be, implying it's going to be the centre of some cheesy attempt at a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} in which another Loser scribbles the V onto it. Instead, it's obvious that Eddie made a completely pathetic attempt at covering it up.

* When [[spoiler: IT kidnaps Beverly]], Bill goes to rally the other losers. When he meets up with Richie in the arcade, who's playing ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', the latter says he pretends his opponent is Bill because of their earlier fight. This [[InsultBackfire backfires]] once you notice that Richie's healthbar is less than half-full while his opponent's has significantly more (Richie only hit him ''once'' on-screen!), which would imply that Bill would beat the shit out of him.

* In a deleted scene for the home releases, it shows an alternate version of the opening in which instead of Georgie getting his arm torn off and dragged into the sewers, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHI3GEboFq4 Georgie casually takes the boat from Pennywise and walks away thanking him.]] Pennywise's stunned reaction seals it when he says "oh shit".

* Georgie chases his paper boat down the street... and [[LowClearance runs smack into a police roadblock]]. Made even better by how the [[MusicalisInterruptus swelling orchestral score stops dead right as he hits it.]] Can kinda cross into a {{tearjerker}} when you realize that if it hadn't been there, maybe he could have stopped the boat from going into the sewer...
