3	* Rum Tum Tugger, the glam rockstar of cats. His crotch has a life of its own, and he somehow handles a set of bagpipes made with a football. In the video version, he plays the bagpipes a second time and once he's finished, he looks around with an eager grin, waiting for applause, but gets none.
4	** Mistoffelees' line in his song. "The Rum Tum Tugger is a ''terrible bore.''"
5	** At the end of his song, Etcetera lets out a squeal so loud, long and high-pitched that even the other female kittens (who are also fangirls of Rum Tum Tugger) give her a bewildered stare.
6	* And in the first song, when all the Jellicles are [[CatConcerto singing/caterwauling]] and a boot '''''thuds''''' onto the stage in front of them.
7	-->'''Cat Chorus''': Handling pieces from the ''Messiah''\
8	Hallelujah, angelical Choir!\
9	'''BOOT'''\
10	[''Cat Chorus pauses for an offended second and then goes right back to singing'']
11	** In the video version, Mungojerrie does a FascinatingEyebrow in response to the boot.
12	* At the beginning of Jennyanydots's song in the video, Mistoffelees stands up and strikes a pose, then tries to sheepishly sits down since it's not his turn while Munkustrap glares at him. Some of the other cats even tease him about it.
13	* In the 1998 stage film: during the reenactment of the ''Awefull Battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles'', Munkustrap is clearly very invested in putting on a good production for Old Deuteronomy, but the other cats clearly just want to have some fun and end up getting over-excited. Munkustrap's expressions becoming increasingly exasperated as they miss their cues or screw up their parts. When the cat-actor playing the Rumpus Cat screws up his entry, Munkustrap has to drag him into position, earning nothing but attitude from the Rumpus Cat actor for the rest of the skit. In response to the Rumpus Cat's over-indulgent costume, Munkustrap dryly remarks [[BreakTheFourthWall to the audience]] that the legendary being apparently had a lot of hair. He eventually loses his temper completely with the rag-tag production and yells a BigNo to force them to stop fake-barking.
14	** This song in general is just a SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfFunny for pretty much everyone - you can literally just pick a cat to watch throughout the song and you'll get some absolute gems. Even Old Deuteronomy gets in on it when you can clearly see him holding back laughter at the others' antics and several times he makes reassuring gestures to Munkustrap as things are going increasingly off the rails.
15	* When Mistoffelees finally gets his big moment, he almost screws it up. He shows off his ability to produce lightning from his paws, but at one point, points his hand but fails to produce any electricity. He stares at his paws in frustration then lashes out a burst of four electricity attacks that startle several of the cats and leaves Rum Tum Tugger glaring at him. When Rum Tum Tugger starts talking about Mistoffelees conjuring seven kittens from a hat, Mistoffelees tries to shush him but Tugger shoos him off, leaving him looking around desperately for a new trick to do until he settles on a discarded mug. When Mistoffelees picks Cassandra to be his magician's assistant, Rum Tum Tugger gives Mistoffelees two thumbs up as he mouths "Not bad! Phwoar!"
16	* In the 1998 video, when Rumpleteazer sneezes during "Skimbleshanks: The Railway Cat", [[FunnyBackgroundEvent she startles Victoria]], whose reaction is [[{{Adorkable}} hilariously cute]].
17	* In the 1998 video, when Bustopher Jones removes his flower at the end of his song, Bombalurina thinks the flower is meant for her and reaches out for it. The look on her face when he hands it over to Jennyanydots instead is hilarious.

21	* It's likely unintended for laughs but Creator/IanMcKellen releases a caterwaul before "The Jellicle Ball" that's too good to not crack up at.
22	* When Macavity apparates, the event usually comes with some word or noise (i.e. "Macavity!", MEOW!, etc.)
23	* If you're not easily unsettled by the UnintentionalUncannyValley, then the human faces on the mice and cockroaches is actually pretty funny.
24	* This exchange pretty much speaks for itself.
25	--> '''Mungojerrie:''' ''(After giving Victoria some jewelry)'' I bought these for her myself.\
