* Boss Tanaka's decapitation. It's so over the top that it becomes hilarious, with many of the Yakuzas all but freaking out and Gogo Yubari (the most psychotic of O-Ren's posse) having a barely-restrained grin on her face.
** Same with Sofie Fatale (O-ren's lawyer), who laughs a little and then calmly translates into Japanese what O-ren is telling the Yakuza in English.

* "Charlie Brown" and the other proprietor of the House of Blue Leaves" (his wife?) falling over themselves to satisfy O-Ren and her retinue, scared that they will kill them if they don't.

It's so amusing even [[TheStoic O-Ren]] and [[PsychoForHire Gogo]] can be seen [[NotSoAboveItAll smiling]].

** The lead up to this moment. Firstly, the Bride and Elle are staring down each other, with swords in hand. Dramatic music plays as they do this, which continues as the two have a BladeLock. [[CatScare The music appears to be building up to a climax as our hero could potentially turn the tides in a dramatic way... but this doesn't happen. The Bride merely rips out Elle's other eye, causing the music to stop.]] [[AntiClimax Talk about an]] UndignifiedDeath.
