2 [[caption-width-right:350:”Candybaaaaar!”]]
3* Creator/ChristopherGuest's cameo:
4-->"Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound? Just because you put a strange and interesting plant in the window, people don't suddenly--"\
5"Excuse me, I couldn't help noticing that [[PhraseCatcher strange and interesting plant]]. What is it?"
6* That [[{{Squee}} elated squeak]] Audrey makes when she learns Audrey II was named after her.
7* The scene where Seymour is at the radio station to be interviewed, and the plant, Audrey II, tries to bite a lady's butt, but Seymour stops it from doing so.
8** The subsequent interview by WEIRD! radio DJ Wink Wilkinson, played by John Candy.
9** Apparently, WSKID can only afford ''one'' DJ. It's not quite obvious but Candy is actually doing a ManOfAThousandVoices routine at the radio station.
10--->'''Wink:''' ''*as jealous husband*'' "Sorry Wink, I love your show, but I have to kill you now with this machine gun!"
11* Mushnik, while listening to Seymour on the radio, actually YELLS INTO THE RADIO for Seymour to mention the address of the shop. Even Audrey takes a moment to look at him like, "Seriously?"
12* Creator/BillMurray's [[OneSceneWonder entire scene]].
13** ''CANDYBAAAAAAAAAAR!''
14* That big, important order that Seymour forgot about? Watch when he goes in and talks to Audrey about it; it's ''four flowers'' and some ''glitter-glue''.
15** 'Dropping off like flies' indeed!
16** Mushnik's [[ChewingTheScenery chewing of the scenery]] upon learning that Seymour forgot said order.
17--->'''Mushnik:''' You forgot? YOU FORGOT?! [[SkywardScream You hear this, God, HE FORGOT!]] You listening, customers?! HE FORGOT!
18* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOtMizMQ6oM The Dentist! song]].
19--> '''Orin''': You'll be a dentist. / You have a talent for causing great ''pain''! / Son, be a dentist. / People will pay you to be ''inhumane''.
20** Even better if one doesn't know about it beforehand - this abusive hoodlum turning out to be a ''[[DepravedDentist dentist]]'' is utterly hilarious.
21* During the "Skid Row" number, Seymour goes all eighties-style music video, singing his solo ("[[IWantSong Please won't somebody say I'll get out of here]]") while walking dramatically up to a chain-link fence. Just as he's about to finish it off by shaking the fence to demonstrate how caged and repressed he is, the camera turns around to show that ''there are a whole bunch of scary-looking hoboes trying to climb over the top.'' While ''singing'' a counter-verse to Seymour. He backs away very quickly.
22* At the end of the musical Seymour says "Thousands of you eating! That's what you had in mind all along isn't it?" and Audrey II responds with "Noooo shit Sherlock!".
23* Audrey II pantsing Seymour during "Mean Green Mother From Outer Space".
24** And all of his little bud chorus members.
25** Audrey II grabbing Seymour's gun and spinning it, and the little "Whoo!" sound he makes.
26** This line:
27--->'''Audrey II:''' The lion don't sleep tonight / And if you pull his tail, he roars! / Ya say, "That ain't fair!" Ya say, "That ain't nice!" / Ya know what I say? ''Up yours!''
28** Late in the number, Audrey II cornering Seymour at a door, then a vine just missing Seymour's jewels. Both Audrey and Seymour's expressions were priceless.
29--->'''Audrey II:''' I got killer buds / A power stem / Nasty thorns / And I'm using them! / So better move 'em out / Nature calls / You got the point? / '''''I'm gonna bust your balls!'''''
30*** In the uncut version, Twooey [[GroinAttack didn't miss]].
31** And then this line from Audrey II, before he explodes after Seymour electrocutes him with a wire:
32---> "Oh, shit!" ''*KA-BOOM!*''
33* When Seymour explains where he got the plant, his flashback/monologue turns into a music number with Crystal, Ronette and Chiffon providing background singing ("Da doo! Shoop da doo!"). Later, during his radio interview, he's asked the same question and begins to tell the story in the same words, cuing a chorus of "Da doo!" from offscreen. [[MusicalisInterruptus The scene changes]].
34** As Seymour leaves Chang's flower shop, he passes by the backup singers harmonizing against a street lamp. Just before he spots the eclipse, [[TheRuntAtTheEnd he tries to get in line and snap his fingers with them]].
35* The Director's Cut ending where the plants take over the world and, in addition to eating people to grow bigger, are shown to have fun destroying cities and causing as much damage as possible just for the sake of it.
36** One of the plants blows into a factory's chimney. Cue its windows exploding from the inside.
37** At one point, a train passes by a couple of laughing plants. The next shot shows a plant waiting for it with its mouth wide open and the train going right inside,
38* When Audrey II finishes his phone call, it immediately begins checking the coin return box. Unfortunately, there's nothing there.
39* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmRDPCWu6To The outtakes.]]
40--> Seymour: *Being swallowed by Audrey II* [[SequelSnark "The sequel, what about the sequel?!"]]
41** This line from Vincent Gardenia:
42---> ''"Nurse this plant back to death."''
43** Steve Martin mouthing other characters' lines during "Dentist".
44** Seymour getting the gun during "Mean Green Mother" and finding a tabletop paddle instead.
45** Frank Oz using his Fozzie Bear voice while directing.
46** The puppeteer inside Audrey II continuing to move the plant's mouth when adding to a discussion, using his own voice instead of the character's.
47** Creator/EllenGreene saying, "I forgot my line" during "Suddenly, Seymour".
48** Rick Moranis [[ShareTheMalePain wincing]] on the "bust your balls" line of "Mean, Green Mother".
49** Rick ''forgets what the film is called''.
50** Vincent Gardenia accidentally asks for Rick Moranis's secret ''dining'' tips.
51* "Excuse me, if you kids could ''just'' stop singing for a second?"
52* After Orin throws the masochistic patient out, calling him a [[HypocriticalHumor "goddamn sicko"]], he makes to return to the room, but whirls around when he notices Seymour in the room, brandishing the scary dentist tool the masochist tried to take.
53--> '''Orin:''' Let me ask you something! Does this scare you? Would you like if I took this and headed right for your damn incisors? It'd hurt, right?\
54'''Seymour:''' (looked scared and replying meekly) Uh huh.\
55'''Orin:'''You'd scream, right?\
56'''Seymour:''' Uh huh.\
57'''Orin:''' Well, get your ass in here!
58* From the stage version, when Seymour goes to Orin's office to kill him:
59--> '''Orin:''' Do you have an appointment?\
60'''Seymour:''' I'm Seymour Krelborn, we met yesterday?\
61'''Orin:''' Oh yeah, I remember you! The kid with the plant?\
62'''Seymour:''' Right.\
63'''Orin:''' And the Band-Aids?\
64'''Seymour:''' ''[pulls out his gun]'' Right.\
65'''Orin:''' ...And the gun?\
66'''Seymour:''' ''[nervous]'' Right.\
67'''Orin:''' Why are you pointing a gun at me, Seymour?
68* During "Feed Me (Git It)", Seymour and Audrey II start tapping their feet in unison during the song's closing lines. But since Audrey II has no feet, this consists of him ''bouncing up and down in his pot.''
69** Also during this scene, when Seymour starts having doubts about the whole thing, Audrey II is shown holding his head with his hand- er, leaf, in a pose that just ''screams'' “Come on, get on with it, man!” You can just ''imagine'' Audrey II rolling his eyes… if he had any, that is.
70* Seymour and Audrey having perhaps the most insanely passionate kiss in movie history at the end of "Suddenly Seymour." Moranis and Greene actually both ended up with bruised lips!
71* When Audrey II demands more blood than Seymour can give, he wails in frustration [[AskAStupidQuestion "What do you want me to do, slit my wrists?!"]] The plant's reaction differs depending on the production, but in general it seems ''more'' than happy with that idea, much to Seymour's horror.
72* During "Feed Me (Git It)," Audrey II tempts Seymour with, "Would you like a Cadillac car? Or a guest spot on [[Series/TheTonightShow Jack Paar]]? How 'bout a date with Creator/HedyLamarr?" Most productions simply have those lines add to the [[AmbiguousTimePeriod vaguely retro setting]], but one 2021 production had Seymour interject, shouting over Twoey's singing, "Both of those people have been dead for awhile!"
73* If your production has a DragQueen portraying Twoey, the line, "Does ''this'' look inanimate to you, punk?!" can become utterly hilarious, depending on what the actor does when they say it.
