1	This is not entirely a comedy film, but has it's moments.
2	* One of the opening scenes introduces up to protagonist Mookie and Jade, bickering as only siblings can:
3	--> '''Jade:''' Yeah, brush your teeth.
4	--> '''Mookie:''' I brushed my teeth.
5	--> '''Jade:''' Your breath stinks.
6	--> '''Mookie:''' It's your upper lip.
7	* Radio Raheem gets into an argument with Sonny, the Korean owner of the local grocery store, over the latter's lack of English skills.
8	-->'''Sonny:''' Motherfuck you!
9	-->'''Raheem:''' Motherfuck me? ''(beat)'' You're all right, man.
10	* Buggin' Out is telling the three guys sitting at the corner they should boycott Sal's. This is done in his POV--when he faces Coconut Sid, he goes "No, man. No." He turns to ML: "No." He turns to Sweet Dick Willie: "Hell no, goddamn it! Sal ain't never done nothing to you, man, and me neither. Hear me, what you oughta do is boycott the barber that fucked up your head [referring to Buggin' Out's ridiculous hair]!"
11	* When Smiley arrives at the window of Sal's to sell his pictures, Pino aggressively steps outside and angrily confronts him, while also arguing with an off-screen resident about harassing Smiley. While that's going on, Smiley attempts to say "Fuck you!" to Pino, but his stuttering cripples it.
12	* At the beginning, when Sal asks Pino to sweep the front of the pizzeria and instead orders Vito, whom is blasting his Walkman:
13	-->'''Pino:''' Vito. Get a broom and sweep out front.
14	-->'''Vito:''' Huh?
15	-->'''Pino:''' Get a broom and sweep out front.
16	-->'''Vito:''' What?!
17	-->'''Pino:''' (his voice is now bellowing throughout the neighborhood) '''GET A BROOM AND SWEEP OUT FRONT!'''
18	* As "Sweet Dick" Willie is portrayed by stand up comedian Robin Harris, it follows that most of his lines (most, if not all ad-libbed) are some of the funniest in the film. Here, Willie rebukes his friend Coconut Sal for his racist tirade against the Korean grocer:
19	--> "And Coconut, you got a lot of damn nerve! You got off the boat, too!"
20	** Then he turns right around and calls that same grocer "Kung Fu".
