* "Well it's going to take a hell of a lot more than a lame prank like this to get Curtis Mooney to throw in his badge, so [[PrecisionFStrike fuck you!]] [[MoodWhiplash Over.]]

** When Debbie tries to escape her house through her window, she sees Rudy, Shorty, Chubby, and Bibbo holding a tiny trampoline for her to land on. What sells this scene is that they are all wearing fire fighter hats.

** Rudy and Shorty examining some items in the pharmacy. It almost verges in being [[CreepyCute oddly adorable]] because it shows a curious animal side in the Klowns' personality instead of being one-note monsters. It also has Mr. Myers being utterly horrified and confused by the weird looking strangers causing chaos in his store which is just priceless.

-->'''Rich Terenzi:''' Paul, get the truck!\\

* The overall weird layout the Klown's ship.

** We then see an elderly woman getting a box of chocolates by Fatso and when her back is turned, he takes aim with his cotton candy cocoon gun only for him to frown for some reason. Perhaps the Klown is sickened by affection, or was meant to convey a "That's sweet, right Mrs?? Alright, fun's over..." MoodWhiplash.

*** We then see Rudy and Shorty basically flinging items that don't peak their interest to the side and when Shorty finds some shaving cream, he accidentally sprays some in Rudy's face which makes [[MinorInjuryOverreaction Rudy groan as if it was actually hurting him and fall backwards.]]

* If you don't find the [[CasanovaWannabe Terenzi]] [[ButtMonkey Brothers]] aggravating, then they are a good source of comedy since they are so desperate for sex and are disliked and tormented by the citizens of Crescent Cove.

--->'''Rich Terenzi:''' Great idea, Paul. Everybody loves ice cream.\\

* When they find the cotton candy cocoons, the way Debbie says nobody stores cotton candy like that makes it sound like she knows the machinations of a cotton candy factory. Then there's Mike saying they do as if he works at a cotton candy factory himself.
* When Debbie and Mike hide from one of the Klowns, Rudy, Mike finds Joe Lombardo's corpse and his face looks way too silly, almost as if he was sticking his tongue out.
* When the Klowns chase our protagonists, one of the Klowns, Rudy uses a popcorn bazooka for some reason, and the other, Spikey, makes a balloon dog that ''[[AnimateInanimateObject comes to life and barks and howls like a real dog.]]''

* Spikey managing to kill a man through.... a puppet show. At first the man seems unamused but willing to humor whoever does the show [[ActuallyPrettyFunny but eventually he actually seems to enjoy it.]] [[OhCrap But then he sees a gigantic clown coming out of the set]] [[DeerInTheHeadlights and just stands there rather than running.]] [[TooDumbToLive The man is not really a bright bulb.]]

*** Then Shorty finds some powder and opens it to sniff some, only for him to sneeze and cause the powder to spread all over the place. Rudy is also still covered in shaving cream during this scene so it makes him the scene more hilarious.

* A girl we see opens her door to see Bibbo in front of her holding pizza. The weird voice in which Bibbo says "Pizza!" is amazing. Rather than shut the door or call the police, [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight she simply stands there and says "Huh, pizza?"]] and the Klown nods. Then Chubby and Rudy join in followed by [[HammerSpace Shorty popping out of the box]] and killing the girl with a cotton candy cocoon gun.

* [[AgentScully Officer Mooney not believing the clown threats no matter how many calls he gets.]]
** "Well you don't need the police, pal. You need a psychiatrist!"

* Slim making ImpossibleShadowPuppets to capture the group of people waiting for the bus. Doubly so since he makes a whole bunch of shadow puppets right before going for the T-rex shadow puppet kill as if [[NotSoAboveItAll he was actually enjoying himself right before he remembered his whole 'killing people' mission.]]

** [[CarFu When Mike takes the wheel tries to run over Slim with Dave's police car,]] Dave chastises him for being so reckless and Mike says [[UnderStatement "I'm sorry! I freaked out a little bit!"]] That's putting it mildly, Mike.

* When the Klowns arrive at the amusement park, the security guard tries to get them to leave since it was closed. However, in true clown fashion [[ClownCar they get out of the car despite it being shown to not be that big on the outside to fit all those Klowns in it]] all while the guard watches in shock and surprise. Then they take out pies and show them to the guard who asks [[TemptingFate "What are you gonna do with those pies, boys?]] [[PieInTheFace Why, throw it at him of course!]] But since the pies are acidic, [[ImMelting the poor sap melts.]]

* The Terenzi Brothers trying to pass off as the Klown's leader. [[PaperThinDisguise They do a horrible job at it]] yet the Klowns still believe them.

* The Terenzi Brothers try to honk at Klownzilla to make him back off yet it only seems to piss him off since he starts beating up the truck before throwing it and causing it to [[StuffBlowingUp explode.]]

It's aliens from outer space who look like [[MonsterClown clowns]] going after humans who don't know any better. Of course it's gonna have these moments.

* Officer Mooney is basically this since he's such a RabidCop that his antics is actually quite amusing.

* Take a closer look at when Farmer Green is enthusiastic over supposedly seeing Halley's Comet, and you can see [[SpecialEffectsFailure the prop master inside the shack.]]

* During this Mike finds Joe Lombardo's corpse and his face looks way too silly, almost as if he was sticking his tongue out.
* When the Klowns chase our protagonists, one of the Klowns, Rudy uses a popcorn bazooka for some reason, and the other, Spikey, makes a balloon dog that ''comes to life and barks and howls like a real dog.''

* The entire shop scene, all of it.

** Rudy and Shorty examining some items in a pharmacy. It almost verges in being [[CreepyCute oddly adorable]] because it shows a curious animal side in the Klowns' personality instead of being one-note monsters. It also has Mr. Myers being utterly horrified and confused by the weird looking strangers causing chaos in his store which is just priceless.

*** Then Shorty finds some powder and opens it to sniff some, only for him to sneeze and cause the powder to spread all over the place. Rudy is also still covered in shaving cream during this scene so it makes him look sillier than he already looks.

* A girl we see opens her door to see Bibbo in front of her holding pizza. The weird voice in which Bibbo says "Pizza!" is amazing. Rather than shut the door or call the police, she simply says "Huh, pizza?" and the Klown nods. Then Chubby and Rudy join in followed by Shorty popping out of the box and killing the girl with a cotton candy cocoon gun.

* When Jumbo decides to lure a child so [[WouldHurtAChild he can kill her with a mallet]], he comes quite close... only for the girl's mother to take her back to her table to finish her food. Jumbo's annoyance is quite comedic especially since he makes a hilariously angry roar at being denied a kill.

** Mooney's death is NightmareFuel, but one of the cellmates asking what Jumbo is in for after witnessing Jumbo killing him loops it right back around to hilarity.

* When the Klowns arrive at the amusement park, the security guard tries to get them to leave since it was closed. However, in true clown fashion [[ClownCar they get out of the car despite it being shown to ''not'' be that big on the outside to fit all those Klowns in it]] all while the guard watches in shock and surprise. Then they take out pies and show them to the guard who asks [[TemptingFate "What are you gonna do with those pies, boys?]] [[PieInTheFace Why, throw it at him of course!]] But since the pies are acidic, [[ImMelting the poor sap melts.]]

** Halfway through the movie, they forget to engage the parking brake while on a hill, causing the truck to careen down the hill.

* Spikey managing to kill a man through.... a puppet show. At first the man seems unamused but willing to humor whoever does the show [[ActuallyPrettyFunny but eventually he actually seems to enjoy it.]] [[OhCrap But then he sees a gigantic clown coming out of the set]] [[DeerInTheHeadlights and just stands there rather than running. The man is not really a bright bulb.]]

* Shorty in his tricycle coming across a motorcycle gang who are all amused by "Big bad Jojo comin' into town!" One of the members asks for a ride and Shorty declines though when he asks to honk the horn and Shorty accepts [[PetTheDog (as if the Klown actually wanted to do something nice for a change),]] [[ForTheEvulz the gang member breaks the tricycle just to be a dick.]] After some crying over his tricycle by Shorty, he jumps out of the scene and comes back with boxing gloves saying "Put up your dukes!" in a weird voice. When the biker asks [[TemptingFate "What are you gonna do? Knock my block off?"]] Shorty proceeds to do just that and the [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere biker gang flees.]]

* Slim making ImpossibleShadowPuppets to capture the group of people waiting for the bus. Doubly so since he makes a whole bunch of shadow puppets right before going for the T-rex shadow puppet kill as if [[NotSoAboveItAll he was actually enjoying himself.]]

** [[UnderStatement "I'm sorry! I freaked out a little bit!"]]

* [[BlatantLies "Gee officer, I'm really sorry, I was feeling a little queasy."]]

* Slim killing the driver with his invisible car falls more into the comedic spectrum of this Horror-Comedy given how absurd it looks, like [[https://youtu.be/t2eUUHkpvQA?t=227 something straight out]] of ''WebAnimation/TheGmodIdiotBox''.
* A girl we see opens her door to see Bibbo in front of her holding pizza. The weird voice in which Bibbo says "Pizza!" is amazing. Rather than shut the door or call the police, she simply says "Huh, pizza?" and the Klown nods. Then Chubby and Rudy join in followed by Shorty popping out of the box and killing the girl with a cotton candy cocoon gun.
** We then see an elderly woman getting a box of chocolates by Fatso and when her back is turned, he takes aim with his cotton candy cocoon gun only for him to frown for some reason. Perhaps the Klown is sickened by affection.

Jumbo's annoyance is quite comedic especially since he makes a hilariously angry roar at being denied a kill.

* When they find the cotton candy cocoons, the way Debbie says nobody stores cotton candy like that makes it sound like she knows the machinations of a cotton candy factory. Mike doesn't believe her for some reason which leads to him taking off some layering possibly to eat some only to find a dead person in it.

* Shorty in his tricycle coming across a motorcycle gang who are all amused by "Big bad Jojo coming into town!" One of the members asks for a ride and Shorty declines though when he asks to honk the horn and Shorty accepts [[PetTheDog (as if the Klown actually wanted to do something nice for a change),]] [[ForTheEvulz the gang member breaks the tricycle just to be a dick.]] After some crying over his tricycle by Shorty, he jumps out of the scene and comes back with boxing gloves saying "Put up your dukes!" in a weird voice.

* The klown's gadgets are humorously creative and silly-looking.

** They can be persuaded with [[SexForServices promises of sex and hot girls.]] This is how Mike gets them to cooperate with the klown invasion later in the film. ''Wow.''

* When the klowns chase our protagonists, one of the klowns, Rudy uses a popcorn bazooka for some reason, and the other, Spikey, makes a balloon dog that ''comes to life and barks and howls like a real dog.''
* After the klowns get ran over by the car that was used by Mike and Debbie to get away, Spikey gets up, [[AsideGlance looks at the camera]], then looks at Bibbo who is lying on the floor after getting ran over... only for Bibbo to get back up like nothing happened.

*** As Rudy walks around the store, the clumsy klown accidentally knocks down some umbrellas. We then see him checking out some pharmaceutical items and he takes a packet from a stand. The stand then falls down.

* The clown's gadgets are humorously creative and silly-looking.

* If you don't find the [[CasanovaWannabe Terenzi Brothers]] aggravating, then they are a good source of comedy.
** When they come by lover's lane to pick up girls with their ice cream truck, it doesn't take long for the [[ButtMonkey poor saps to get relentlessly mocked and tormented by the couples there.]] Mike simply finds this amusing since they are somehow his best friends from high school.

* During this Mike finds Joe Lombardo's corpse and his face looks way too silly, almost as if he was sticking his tongue out.

'''Rich Terenzi:''' [[SarcasmMode Well, this worked out just great.]]
'''Paul Terenzi:''' Don't blame me. I didn't want to come here. Hey, why don't we try the drive-in?

** They can be persuaded with [[SexForServices promises of sex and hot girls.]] This is how Mike gets them to cooperate with the klown invasion later in the film. ''Wow.''

* At the beginning of the movie, Mooney waits for a citizen to walk by his car. Once he does, [[Jerkass Mooney]] calls him a 'son of a bitch' and drives away. The citizen later quips 'cops'.

** When they come by lover's lane to pick up girls with their ice cream truck, it doesn't take long for the [[ButtMonkey poor saps to get relentlessly mocked and tormented by the couples there.]] Mike simply finds this amusing.
