* During the desert chase, two Nazi soldiers on a motorcycle and sidecar ride up to the truck Indy's driving to try and take a shot at him. Indy flashes a quick "who are they kidding?" look, quickly yanks the steering wheel in their direction, and then looks back to see the bike and its two riders tumbling off the road and into a ditch. The roguish grin on his face afterwards is icing on the cake.

* While the climax is pretty [[NightmareFuel horrifying]], there is just something hilarious about how Toht ScreamsLikeALittleGirl the moment things go bad- going from a perplexed expression to immediate horror when he realizes that what's about to happen. Not to mention Dietrich's fearful expression of his mouth agape which contrasts his professional stoicism he had his entire runtime.

* After Indy escapes the temple, he is surrounded by a horde of angry natives along with one of the treacherous guides from earlier, the natives knock the person down to reveal that his [[DeadAllAlong entire back is covered with darts]]

to:

* After Indy escapes "Love" and "You" on a sighing young girl's eyelids.
** And Indy's flustered response.
** Just look at that classroom! More than half of
the temple, he is surrounded students are young girls [[HotForTeacher just gazing]] at their archaeology professor.
** And then a [[EvenTheGuysWantHim male student]] leaves an apple on Indy's desk.
* With Marion’s wine barrels shot up and leaking, she sneaks one last drink from them before getting back in the fight.
** Followed
by a horde her using the log she's holding to hit the head of angry natives along with one of the treacherous guides from earlier, big Sherpas, who makes the natives knock most comical "Ow" and slumps over.
* In
the person down to reveal that his [[DeadAllAlong entire back bar fight, Indy and a Mook are grappling over a gun and another mook is covered with darts]].told by Toht: "Shoot them. Shoot them both." They promptly, of one mind, ''[[EnemyMine both turn and shoot the other mook]]''.



* The monkey doing a ''Sieg Heil'' -- and one of the Nazi goons reflexively returning the salute, before getting a look on his face of "What the hell did I just do?"



* The scene where Sallah's children rescue Indy from Belloq in the bar, even the mercenaries around the room were laughing.
-->'''Belloq:''' Next time, Indiana Jones, it will take more than children to save you!



*** The moment where he briefly panics after the lightning flash reveals the Anubis statue, and his sheepish "Sorry Indy" that follows.



* Marion and Belloq powering through a bottle of grappa and being reduced to helpless giggling.
** Even better, Marion tried to use her high drinking tolerance to get one over on Belloq and escape. Unfortunately for her though, it turns out that [[NoSell the grappa is from his family label and he's been drinking it his whole life]].
** Belloq himself might've been making a joke. The front label is written in Arabic not French as many had thought and it translates “Boukha Bokabsa” – in the upper heading and “The Family Label” – in the lower heading.
* Toht advances on Marion, pulling out what looks like a nasty torture device... [[NotSoDire which he then folds into a coat hanger]].
** And it's based on a DeletedScene from ''Film/NineteenFortyOne1979'' (done for that film by Creator/ChristopherLee!), which Spielberg swore he'd try to put in all of his movies until it stayed in.
* Indy's reaction to Belloq's mocking as he's trapped in the Well of Souls:
--> '''Belloq:''' What a fitting end to your life's pursuits. You're about to become a permanent addition to this archaeological find. Who knows? In a thousand years even you may be worth something.
--> '''Indy:''' ''[smiling nervously, doing a forced laugh]'' Ahahahahh!... ''[under his breath]'' Sonofabitch...
* Marion waving the torch at Indy's whip mistaking it for a snake and causing Indy to [[AmusingInjuries jump in pain]].

* In the aftermath of the plane's destruction, Dietrich yells angrily about how they have to get the Ark out of here. He adds, "And Gobler! I want plenty of protection!" Gobler starts to reply, but he's drowned out by a massive explosion in the background. It takes the Nazis a moment to think things over and ''then'' they start running. Belloq, meanwhile, just stands there looking annoyed. "''Jones''..."

* Captain Katanga meets Indy for the first time when he's filthy, bruised, and battered from the truck chase:
-->'''Katanga:''' Mr. Jones! I've heard a lot about you, sir. Your appearance is exactly the way I imagined.
* Sallah giving Indy a good-bye ManHug would fall under SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments if it didn't aggravate Indy's myriad of injuries.

* Toht sweltering in the heat as they transport the Ark to where it'll be opened, as he's wearing a [[EvilWearsBlack black leather trench coat]] in the middle of the Mediterranean sun. Gestapo uniform codes must have been ''strict''.
** Even better when one remembers his line to Marion in the tent earlier:
--> '''Toht:''' [[HypocriticalHumor: You Americans are all the same. Always overdressing for the wrong occasions.]]
* Belloq and Dietrich being deeply frustrated over not finding the Ten Commandments inside the Ark, but what appears to be very fine sand is one thing. Toht breaking down into hysterical laughter (and Indy flashing a wry little smirk) afterwards just puts the cherry on it.
* While the climax is pretty [[NightmareFuel horrifying]], there is just something hilarious about how Toht ScreamsLikeALittleGirl the moment things go bad- going from a perplexed expression to immediate horror when he realizes that what's about to happen.

* This exchange:
-->'''Major Eaton:''' We have top men working on it right now.\\
'''Indiana Jones:''' Who?\\
'''Major Eaton:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Top. Men.]]
* Funny in a kind of dark way to some, TheReveal at the end of the film which implies that the government strong-armed Indy into handing the Ark into their hands so it could be studied properly... only to promptly stuff it in a huge warehouse to be (quite possibly) forgotten.
** ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull'' reveals that the Ark is indeed still parked in a warehouse decades later.
