1* The scenes with [[AsianAndNerdy Long Duk Dong]] are a mix of CMOF and [[CrossesTheLineTwice "I shouldn't be laughing, but..."]]
2* The RunningGag of Jake trying to contact Samantha by telephone. Since the movie came out quite a few years before cell phones went mainstream, Sam has her own phone line in her bedroom... where the grandparents are staying, so they're the ones who pick up the phone whenever Jake calls. Every single time, HilarityEnsues.
3* The NoodleIncident scene involving Farmer Ted, his friends and the JerkJock group.
4* When Farmer Ted shows Samantha's panties to the other kids.
5* When Sam hears about this:
6-->'''Randy:''' ''(on the phone)'' I was gonna tell you something, but maybe I shouldn't. It's pretty bad.
7-->'''Sam:''' You may as well. Nothing could shock me anymore.
8-->'''Randy:''' Last night at the dance, my little brother paid a buck to see your underwear.
9-->''(Sam screams loudly)''
10-->'''Grandpa Fred:''' ''(downstairs)'' Geez! I hate that rock 'n' roll rubbish!
11* The grandparents comment on Sam's UsefulNotes/{{Pettanko}}hood
12-->'''Grandma Helen:''' Oh Sam, let me take a look at you. Fred, she's gotten her boobies.
13-->'''Grandpa Fred:''' I better get my magnifying glass. Ha! Ha!
14-->'''Grandma Helen:''' Oh, and they are so PERKY. ''(reaches to cup them. Cut to:)''
15-->'''Samantha:''' I can't believe my grandmother actually felt me up.
16* Ginny's antics ''in her own wedding'' after taking too many muscle relaxers.
17* Farmer Ted trying to get his friends to take a picture of him and Caroline: "Better than ''female extraterrestrial''?"
