History Funny / TheLastStarfighter

* In a FunnyBackgroundEvent, as Alex is annihlating the Ko-Dan fleet in the video game, going for the record, and the whole trailer park comes out to watch. The Command Ship looms into view on the screen, and everyone is in awe that he's reached the command ship and is preparing to attack. One little old lady in the crowd gasps "Ooh, Command Ship! What's a command ship?" Even funnier is an old man describing it as "Air Force One for the aliens."

* Robert Preston (in what would turn out to be his final role) is clearly having the time of his life as Centauri. It's like watching an alien version of Harold Hill.

* Beta eavesdropping on Jack Blake and using him as a role model for how to talk to Maggie. Comparing her to Venus seemed to turn her on. Saying ''the other girls didn't mean anything to him,'' not so much.

''(As the ship takes off, Alex is soundlessly '''ranting''' inside his helmet, his words drowned out by the engine noise. One can only imagine [[ClusterFBomb what he was saying...]])''

** For instance, there is Beta repairing his detached head and dealing with Alex's brother ([[ImplausibleDeniability "You're having a terrible nightmare.]] Go back to sleep.") just before he sees (to his pained consternation) an assassin landing. Then there's Beta finally giving up and telling Maggie that he's an android, a claim proven moments later when he's shot, revealing his circuitry and squirty innards. His only reaction is a casual "See?" before he gives chase to the shooter.

* The moment where Alex realizes he's trapped in a fast-moving car with a man he thinks is ''completely insane.'' ([[AlienAmongUs he doesn't know the half of it]]).

--> '''Centauri''': (''cheerful singsong'') That's why I'm not gonna tellll youuuu...
--> '''Alex''': [[OhCrap Oh God.]]

-->'''Alex''': It'll be a slaughter!
-->'''Grig''': ''That's'' the spirit!
-->'''Alex''': No, ''my'' slaughter! One Gunstar against the ''armada?!''
-->'''Grig''': Yes, one Gunstar against the armada. I've always wanted to fight a desperate battle against incredible odds!
-->''(Alex just sits there, looking absolutely incredulous)''

-->'''Grig''': I'll have it all figured out by the time we reach the Frontier...
-->(''Alarm beeping as Grig's [[OhCrap face drops]]'')
-->'''Alex''': What's that?
-->'''Grig''': The Frontier.

-->'''Alex''': Terrific. I'm about to get killed, a million miles from nowhere, with a gung-ho iguana who tells me to relax.

* "Come in, Centauri, come back here, and take your Tonka toy with you."
* Louis' disgusted reaction to Alex and Maggie snogging: "Diarrhea!"

** Of course the exchange between Alex and Grig before they take on the enemy ship in the asteroid is better.

* Everything that happens with the Beta Robot back on Earth as Alex is off a million miles from nowhere. Test audiences liked the comedy of embarrassments Beta was enduring [[ThrowItIn so the film-makers added more scenes]].

* The moment where Alex realizes he's trapped in a car, going way too fast, with a ''crazy man''. (Funny, rather than NightmareFuel, because things are about to get even crazier.)

** For instance, there is Beta repairing his detached head and dealing with Alex's brother ("You're having a terrible nightmare. Go back to sleep.") just before he sees to his pained consternation an assassin landing. Then there is Beta finally revealing to Alex's girlfriend that he's an android, a claim proven when he is shot, revealing his circuitry and the only reaction he gives is a casual "See?" to the girl before he gives chase to the shooter.
