1* Opening the film with Sandler singing "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" isn't just an awesome performance, but it perfectly establishes all the characters and the '80s setting by the end of the opening credits.
2* Music/BillyIdol's [[TheCameo Crowning Cameo Of Awesome]]. One particular moment is when he slams the service cart into Glenn.
3-->'''Billy Idol''': ''[with a smug grin]'' How're you doing, sir? Chicken or fish?\
4'''Glenn''': Get out of my way, Billy, or you're gonna get hurt!\
5'''Billy''': Oh yeah?\
6''[a giant biker, ''wearing a Billy Idol shirt no less'', stands between them]''\
7'''Biker''': [[BadassBystander DON'T YOU TALK TO BILLY IDOL THAT WAY!]]\
8''[Billy gleefully sticks his tongue out and gives Glenn a jerking off motion as the latter gets shoved into the bathroom by a flight attendant he tried to seduce earlier]''
9** And the best part? Even with a whopping ''thirteen years'' of rock'n'roll lifestyle between 1985 and 1998,[[note]]including a motorcycle accident that cost him the role of [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay the T-1000]][[/note]] Billy still looked enough like his 1985 self to pull it off convincingly.
10* This line is as awesome a line as you can get out of a bitter ramble:
11-->'''Robbie:''' I have the microphone. And you don't. '''''So you will listen to every damn word I have to say!!'''''
12* Doubles as a TearJerker, but "Somebody Kill Me Please" qualifies.
13** Especially since it managed to include a rhyme with "melancholy".
14* What Robbie's nephew says to Linda:
15-->'''Petey''': Hey, Linda.\
16''[Linda smiles and waves]''\
17'''Petey''': You're a bitch.\
18'''Robbie''': Thanks, Petey. Go back in the house.\
19'''Robbie''': He, he, he might have Tourette's Syndrome. We're looking into it.
20* Julia's not taking shit from a singer who mocked Robbie.
21-->'''Robbie''': Thank you.\
22'''Jimmie Moore''': No, thank you!\
23'''Robbie''': For what?\
24'''Jimmie Moore''': For quitting. [nudges him] Thanks to you my business has tripled... '''or''', should I thank Linda?\
25'''Julia''': Well, you've just inspired me to hire a DJ. So thank you.\
26'''Jimmie Moore''': Oh. Well, good luck trying to find a DJ who can move and shake like [wriggles back and forth like a snake slithering] THIS!
27* Robbie finally standing up to Linda when she tries to reconcile with him. Doubles as a moment of CharacterDevelopment, as it demonstrates how much more assertive Robbie has become due to his experiences throughout the film.
28-->'''Linda''': I can learn to deal with the fact that you're just a wedding singer, not a rock star. I could even learn to deal with...\
29'''Robbie''': You can "learn to deal" with that? I don't want you to learn to deal with that. That's not how it works. Jeez!\
30'''Linda''': Well, Robbie, maybe we should talk about this when you're feeling better?\
31'''Robbie''': Hey, psycho. I'm not gonna feel better about this. It's over. So please get outta my Van Halen T-shirt before you jinx the band and they break up.\
32'''Linda''': Oh, okay. So you're still [[ComicallyMissingThePoint pissed about that wedding thing?]]\
33''[SmashCut to her outside with Robbie slamming the door in her face]''
