* When Clarice visits Mia and her mother at home (A converted firehouse) to try and explain the situation further, Mia angrily stomps off to her room.
-->'''Clarice:''' Where is she going?\\
'''Helen:''' [''Gets up to follow Mia''] The tower... ''Mia, get down here!''\\
'''Clarice:''' [''To herself, sounding envious''] ''She'' has a tower?!

** As a nod to this scene, Disney influencer Sarah Sterling had that scene recreated for Mickey's Halloween Party 2018 at Ride/{{Disneyland}} [[https://youtu.be/YhWqyJdjkLs?si=cdvRWuywJKr2klEV&t=459 by doing just that with a friend of hers]] (Appropriately dressed as frizzy!Mia and her friend dressed as Lana, with Dole Whip as an ice cream cone substitute). Cue the same reaction.

!!! ''Royal Engagement''
* Upon being told that Mia must wed or forfeit the throne (while Mia is accidentally hiding behind the wall).
-->'''Clarisse''': Shut up!\\
'''Mia''': Grandma said shut up? Shut up!
* Mia's facial expressions during the closet scene.
--> '''Mia''': I have my own mall!
* Mia and Lily's reunion:
--> '''Mia:''' You're here!
--> '''Lily:''' I know!
--> '''Mia:''' You're in Genovia!
--> '''Lily:''' I know!
--> '''Mia:''' You're in my closet!
--> '''Lily:''' ...Yeah.
--> '''Mia:''' You're blonde!
--> '''Lily:''' I'm blonde.
* The art of the fan scene in the second movie. That is all.
** And all set to Gilbert and Sullivan's ''Three Little Maids From School Are We''.
** And the capstone when Clarisse catches on.
---> '''Clarisse''': Are you sassing your grandma?!
* During the montage of acceptable royal bachelors, Lily turns to Mia and asks if the popcorn actually is pear-flavored. Mia nods and in a voice that indicates she is ''way'' too used that sort of thing, states that it's a Genovian specialty.
** When Prince William’s picture comes up, we get this exchange.
--->'''Mia:''' ''(gasps)'' Yes! Oh yes! I-I-I absolutely accept!\\
'''Charlotte:''' ''(giggles)'' Prince William. He's not eligible because he's in line for his own crown.\\
'''Mia:''' ''(disappointed)'' Awwww.\\
'''Joe:''' If he's not eligible, why is he included in these pictures?\\
'''Charlotte:''' ''(dreamily)'' I just love to look at him.\\
'''Clarisse:''' Me too.\\
'''Joe:''' Your Majesty!
** Also when discussing another potential suitor.
--->'''Charlotte:''' Antoine Suisson of Paris. Plays the harp. Uh, no title, but good family.\\
'''Lily:''' What about the title "husband"?\\
'''Mia:''' Yeah, he's cute.\\
'''Joe:''' His boyfriend thinks he's handsome, also.\\
'''Mia and Lily:''' ''(fist pump)'' Right on!\\
'''Clarisse:''' No matter - put him on the guest list. He's a divine dancer.
* There's some FreezeFrameBonus on the slides for each eligible bachelor under "hobbies."
** Baron Johann Klimt (compulsive gambler) - taxidermy.
** Antoine Suisson (gay) - Liberace memorabilia.
** Sir Laurent Wilson (too old) - stamp collector and hieroglyphics analyst.
** Prince Jacques Dube (the 12-year-old who danced with Mia at her birthday, and too young) - parties, pranks, and paper mache.
** Sven Gustaffson (arrested too many times) - world renowned entomologist and suspected diamond thief.
** Sir Ian [=McAllistair=] - cigar aficionado and aged brandy.
* Mia's reaction to finding out who Nicholas really is. No ArmourPiercingSlap, no GroinAttack, instead a well placed stomp to the foot. Later, Clarisse gives her opinion on Mia admitting that she flirted with him at her ball.
--> '''Clarisse''': As your Queen, I simply cannot condone it. As your grandmother, I say: right on.
** After she treads on Nicholas' foot, Mia turns away with a "hmph" that would put [[Series/TheMuppetShow Miss Piggy]] to shame.
* Nicholas' sarcastic reaction to Mia's indignity that he didn't tell her who he was when they danced.
-->'''Nicholas''': [[DeadpanSnarker Ah, well, usually when I ask a woman to dance, I show her my family tree.]]
* Lady Elyssa, a minor character, politely commenting to Andrew that they should probably leave when Mia and Nicholas start trying to one-up each other on their dates' achievements at the garden party: "I think they're starting a ''my horse is bigger than your horse'' run?"
* After a moment of SlapSlapKiss in the palace gardens during an event, and Mia shoving him off, Nicholas just cheerfully points out that Mia enjoyed it and asks if she wants to do it again.
** It takes Mia a second to respond.
* Mia just fell in the fountain in the palace gardens and walks up to Clarisse soaking wet. Clarisse looks her up and down and simply says, "Do I ''want'' to know?"
-->'''Mia''': I don't think so.
* The entire archery training montage set to "Fun in the Sun," by Steve Harwell.
** Possibly the funniest part is when one of Mia's arrows whizzes past uncomfortably close to Nicholas, and he just glances up from the book he's reading and gives her a totally blasé smile and wave.
* The hilariously uncomfortable kiss between Andrew and Mia. Which cuts away to a ''goat'' as though to emphasize how incredibly non-sexy the moment is.
** Not only that, but the goat ''moos''. Like a cow. Huh?
* Paolo trying to justify a hairstyling choice for Mia's wedding.
-->'''Mia:''' I look like a moose.\\
'''Paolo:''' ...Yes, but very ''cute'' moose! Make all the boy moose go "HWAAAAH!"\\
'''Mia:''' I have ''antlers''.
* At the very end, after Mabrey's plot to steal the throne has been thwarted, he's left locked out to the wedding chapel, banging on the door and yelling to be let in when a couple of guards show up to remove him from the premises. And they don't just escort him out of the building, no, they ''lift him off the ground'' and carry him off, ignoring his protests. Meanwhile, Mabrey's maid is watching the whole thing on television at his estate, pointing and laughing at him while stuffing the chair she was sitting in with popcorn kernels.
* Also, when [[spoiler:Mia's wedding is cancelled and Nicholas renounces his rights as a second heir]], everyone starts to ask who will accept the throne in Mia's place. Baron and Baroness von Troken get up and offer to ascend. The Prime Minster just tells them both to sit down.
** When Mia moves to [[spoiler:abolish the marriage law]], and the Genovian Parliament votes in support, [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments von Troken also votes for her]]. The senator in front reminds von Troken that he's not in parliament, and his vote doesn't count, causing the baron to remark "someday.." under his breath.
* Clarisse and Joe, deciding to not waste the preparations for Mia's wedding, get married themselves. Judging from the priest's ''"Finally!"'', either he was a ShipperOnDeck for those two or their "hidden" feelings for each other was more like an OpenSecret.
* Just as the ceremony's about to start, Mia's mother has to leave to change the baby. She's only gone for a few minutes, but it's an ''eventful'' few minutes, and it takes her a little while to catch up.
-->'''Patrick:''' She's not getting married.\\
'''Helen:''' She's not getting married?\\
'''Patrick:''' Now the queen's getting married.\\
'''Helen:''' The queen's getting married??
* This exchange between Mia and Andrew right after they've called off their wedding, thereby proving that they are ''[[AmicableExes definitely]]'' going to stay good friends:
-->'''Andrew''': [''whispering''] Now I just have to tell Mummy...
-->'''Mia''': [''also whispering''] I have to tell everybody else.
-->[''{{beat}}'']
-->'''Mia''' and '''Andrew''': [''[[SpeakInUnison in perfect unison]]''] ''Good luck!''
* When Nicholas turns on his father's plans for the throne and nominates Mia would make a fine princess married or no, he remarks that one of the reasons she should keep the crown is because she would look lovely on a postage stamp. The Viscount's lines just seal it:
-->'''Viscount Mabrey:''' ''YOU'' WOULD "LOOK LOVELY ON A POSTAGE STAMP"!!
* At the wedding, Mia is approaching by a foreign dignitary whose only knowledge of English comes from watching ''Film/TheThreeStooges''. Amusing enough, though the fact that he, [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment for no discernible reason]], is played by ''Creator/StanLee'' is what truly makes it funny.
* The feuding twins during Mia's meeting concerning the Winter Palace -- one's a member of Parliament and the other is his brother, and their bickering quickly makes a smaller man sitting in between them visibly uncomfortable until Mia gets them back on track.
