* The jetpack sequence once Anderton and the cop crash into an apartment complex, crashing ''upward'' into a family dinner (the family slowly backs away at the first bump), and finally into a kid's room while he's practicing the sax. Not to mention the rather [[UnfazedEveryman unimpressed]] elderly man when there is an ongoing chaos in his home.

** On the other hand, setting up the hobo to be an unwitting booby trap to the pursuing cop, now THAT's funny. [[spoiler: Anderton and Agatha are fleeing from a cop in hot pursuit, down a narrow hallway. Just past a door, they encounter a hobo that begs for money. Agatha instructs Anderton to drop some money-literally, DROP IT, and close the door. Anderton does, and they continue fleeing. The hobo takes a moment to complain (and lampshade) the fact that Anderton could have put the money right in his hand, but instead he has to sprawl across the hallway to collect this loose change...cue the cop barging through the door and plowing straight into the hobo, who serves as a very effective tripping hazard.]]

* When Anderton makes his escape on the freeway, he ends up crashing into a yoga studio. All the patrons are currently in a very silly looking pose where their whole upper body is bent forward and tucked between their legs. One woman, still posed in such a way, ''walks'' toward Anderton asking if he's ok, and Anderton can only stare in bewilderment.

** When Anderton is in the freezing bathtub to hide his body heat signature, the eye-dent spyder looks around for a minute and then decides to leave the room thinking there's nothing there. However, a small bubble from air Anderton let out while submerged reaches the surface and pops...causing the eye-dent spyder to come back. Apparently those things can pick up near-silence sound frequencies.

* When he gets his eyes he has to endure temporary blindness. At the apartment set up for him in recovery he was told a fresh sandwich and drink were in the fridge for him. What makes it funny is that while there are fresh food, he accidentally finds rotten food and eats it instead.
** This troper got an impression it was not purely accidental after all, given the biography of the person who prepared that food...
