7	* Coraline writes a story on her father's computer:
8	-->THERE WAS A GIRL HER NAME WAS APPLE. SHE USED TO DANCE A LOT. SHE DANCED AND DANCED UNTIL HER FEET TURND INTO [[RougeAnglesOfSatin SOSSAJES]] THE END.
9	* Coraline decides to have chocolate cake for lunch once she notices her parents aren't back. She buys two bottles of limeade to finish off too. And then she floods her bath with too many bubbles.
10	* The name of the man upstairs who claims to train mice is never named until the end, when Coraline learns from Spink and Forcible that it's Mr. Bobo. She then realizes that she missed out on a great opportunity, as how often can you call someone "Mr. Bobo"?
11	* A twist of funny-creepy Gaiman wit exerts itself in the conversation after Coraline comes out of the mirror, telling her other mother that she's seen the dead children.
12	-->'''Other Mother:''' Now, I think you're being silly, dear...nobody believes in ghosts anyway -- that's because they're all such liars.
13	* While it does lead to an Awesome moment later on, Coraline telling her mom the picnic blanket and her dolls are protective coloration is this.

15	!!Film
16	* Coraline using PuppyDogEyes and even dog-like whining as she begs for her mother to open the small door she found.
17	* Wybie telling Coraline to wear gloves next time because the stick she's been using to dowse for the past ten minutes is poison oak.
18	* When Wybie gets distracted mid-petting the Cat, the Cat rigidly tips over, four legs in the air, as he is interrupted.
19	* After Coraline finds the hot water tank, right before she marks down the hot water tank, we see "12 disgusting!!! bugs" written on her notepad. Then when she presses a button, it causes a power surge and wreaks havoc on Dad's computer, making him yell "[[BigNo NOOOOOO!]]" Coraline gets an "OhCrap" expression on her face, runs back to the closet, discovers the label "DON'T PUSH" above the switch, and then presses the button, causing everything to go back to normal. Then she walks out, trying to act like she didn't do anything.
20	** In the DeletedScene preluding the Food Gorn dinner scene, Mel lays into Charlie (who is busy serving up the "slime" for the dinner) for not getting a laptop and forgetting to back up his files before the aforementioned computer incident. Whilst this conversation is going on, Coraline realises what her mother is talking about (with an "Oh Crap" expression) and [[FingerOnLips shushes]] her doll doppelgänger, going into a very innocent expression afterwards.
21	* At the end of the Food Gorn dinner scene, Coraline asks her doll doppelgänger "Do you think they're trying to poison me?" and then makes her nod.
22	* Mrs Jones tries to keep Coraline occupied by suggesting she visits the downstairs neighbours Miss Spink and Forcible. Coraline immediately points out that Mrs Jones herself called them dingbats, to which she responds with a blunt "Mm-hm."
23	* When the Other Mother suggests that she and Coraline play hide and seek in the rain:
24	-->'''Coraline:''' [[TemptingFate What rain?]] (cue thunderclap and torrential rainfall)
25	* Coraline's Father asking her if she has any "magic mud" because he has a terrible case of writer's rash on [[CurseCutShort his-]]
26	* While reading tea leaves, Miss Spink and Miss Forcible argue whether Coraline is in danger or about to meet "a tall, handsome beast".
27	-->'''Miss Spink:''': I see a very peculiar hand!\
28	'''Miss Forcible:''' [''takes the cup and turns it clockwise''] ''I'' see a giraffe.\
29	'''Miss Spink:''' Giraffes don't just fall from the sky, Miriam! [[BrickJoke (cue the stuck-on-ceiling bowl of sweets falling and shattering on the ground)]]
30	* "You're just like them!" This might also be a ShoutOut to ''Franchise/SilentHill''.
31	* Fridge-Funny: Ever notice the Other Mother (and everyone in the Other World) never refers to the Other Wybie by his name? They normally call him "[Coraline's] Friend". This gives the impression that [[NotSoAboveItAll even the Other Mother]] thinks his name was [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude too silly]] to say out loud.
32	* Coraline chasing Wybie and throwing her shoes at him.
33	** In particular, it starts when he calls her crazy and immediately hightails it down a corridor out of sight before the boot can hit him.
34	* Wybie goofing around with a banana slug whilst Coraline takes photos of him with his camera.
35	* Other Wybie getting cotton candy stuck all over his body and Coraline pulling it off him and eating it during the mouse circus. She leaves one stuck to his head that the Other Father pulls off when Coraline goes to sleep.
36	* In "Linden's UNIFORMS", Coraline is sitting on a stairway bored when a boy comes down the the stairs riding on a stool with wheels being chased by another boy.
37	-->MY KINGDOOOOOOOMMM FOR A HOOOOOOOORRRSSSEEEEE!!!! (crash)
38	* The Other Forcible and Spink's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zJnA3F34CU "Sirens of the Sea"]] song. It has to be seen to be believed. Coraline's reaction to the Other Miss Forcible emerging [[FanDisservice nearly nude]] in a seashell pretty much [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall mirrors that of the audience]].
39	-->'''Coraline:''' [[NoJustNoReaction Oh my God...]]
40	** The theatre scene is even funnier when you think of Coraline's reaction to it, and how every kid in the audience probably felt the same!
41	** If you look closely at the Other Spink's performance, you will see one of the background sailors glaring through his [[PortraitPaintingPeephole eye holes]] at her like he can't take his attention off of her!
42	* It occurs in a NightmareFuel moment, but when the Other Parents try to get Coraline to sew buttons on her eyes so she can stay there forever, the Other Father is about to say that the needle is "so sharp you won't feel a thing" when the Other Mother angrily kicks him under the table as if to say [[SayingTooMuch "quit telling her things!"]]
43	** From the moment Coraline met them, the Other Mother has been keeping up the façade that she and the Other Father are equals in their relationship, as opposed to the relationship between Mel and Charlie where it's clear [[HenPeckedHusband who wears the pants in the relationship]]. The fact the Other Mother kicked at the Other Father just to shoosh him indicates [[NotSoAboveItAll it's not so different after all]].
44	* The Other Father and Bobinsky's real nightmarish form is both NightmareFuel and PlayedForLaughs.
45	* After she defeats the Other Mother, Coraline is visited by the Cat again in her own world, and she asks if he's mad about being thrown at the Other Mother as a last-ditch effort. The Cat's expression is priceless. Probably because you know he can't ''say'' how he feels because he's not in the Other World where he can talk.

47	!!Game
48	* The RunningGag of characters [[HeKnowsAboutTimedHits deliberately breaking the fourth wall]] to casually explain game controls to Coraline. She just goes along with it without question. Even ''the Other Mother'' gets in on the act.
49	* As you go through the game, interacting with certain objects will get you a sideshow of photos to look at. Interacting with the banana slugs on the dumpster near the barn will get photos of Wybie goofing around with the banana slugs. Coraline quips:
50	-->'''Coraline:''' There's seriously something wrong with that boy.
51	* Interacting with the cage in Bobinsky's flat will get you a series of photos of Coraline looking confident in circus clothes, with the last one showing her being startled by the circus mice.
52	* The entire "minigame" where you have to survive Wybie's machine at the tennis court:
53	** Wybie losing control of the machine right when Coraline arrives, resulting in it firing beets at her constantly.
54	** After clearing the minigame, Wybie runs over to apologize to Coraline, and she gives him a facial expression that is ''priceless''.
55	** Coraline berates Wybie for being so careless and vows to never speak to him again. Of course, [[{{Bathos}} you can go ahead and play a game of]] TabletopGame/TicTacToe with Wybie... then never speak to him again and go back to the house.
56	* When Coraline returns to the Other World in chapter 4, she finds Other Mother has made her a fantastic dinner party waiting for her:
57	-->'''Coraline:''' Wow, this looks [[BuffySpeak delic-yummy]].
58
59	!!Graphic Novel
60	* "Manners!" the Other Mother screams as she shoots upright, one finger pointing in the air. It's startling enough to cause Coraline to lean back in shock, her face an absolute picture.
