16
17	[[AC:''Presto'']]
18	* The whole thing. Pixar does Creator/TexAvery - by way of ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}''.
19	** Not to mention that JustForFun/StatlerAndWaldorf, [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/5/55/Presto-statler-waldorf.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1280 who cameo in their usual spots in the theatre,]] got to see all of the slapstick.
20	** When Presto gets electrocuted and starts stomping his foot in reflex, the musicians in the orchestra pit just roll with it, pulling jug-band instruments [[HammerSpace out of nowhere]] and playing along.
21
22	[[AC:''Dug's Special Mission'']]
23	* All of it, as Dug repeatedly acts as TheMillstone for the rest of the pack. "Alpha, the rock moved!"
24	** Notable examples:
25	--> '''Alpha:''' Now, your mission is to sit on that rock.
26	--> '''Dug:''' Okay! ''(jumps to the other rock causing the rock Alpha, Beta, and Gamma are on to tilt. The three dogs begin running around trying to even the balance, but the rock falls and the dogs fall, screaming)''
27	--> '''Dug:''' ''(jumping from rock to rock)'' Find the bird, find the bird! ''(Alpha, Beta, and Gamma follow, screaming as the rocks fall and Alpha goes down with one)''
28	--> '''Alpha:''' Ow! I am hurting!
29	--> '''Dug:''' ''(calling down)'' Are you okay, Alpha?
30	--> '''Alpha:''' ''(calling up)'' We will be getting you, DUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGG!!!!!!
31	** Earlier, they make Dug sit in "the bird's favorite hole":
32	-->'''Alpha:''' This is the birds favourite hole. Under no circumstances are you to...[[RunningGag SQUIRREL!!!]].....leave this hole.
33	** And Dug turns to look, flipping his ear back in the process.
34	-->'''Dug:''' I will stay in the hole. I will stay in the hole. I will... stay in the... ''[The hole is full of sand and he quickly starts to sink down the tunnel]''
35	-->'''Dug:''' Now I'm going down the hole. It is dark in the hole.
36	-->''[Alpha, Beta, and Gamma are hunting Kevin, only a few yards away]''
37	-->'''Alpha:''' This is our day, my lieutenants. Master will have much rewa-
38	-->''[his ears perk up, Kevin runs away, and Dug falls on top of them in a heap of sand]''
39	-->'''Dug:''' [sitting on top of the three, who are half-buried in sand] Hey! My pack is in the hole, too!
40	** Dug sets off a few of the traps, with a net catching Alpha, Beta and Gamma and then a load of tranq darts striking around the pack, with a solitary dart hitting Beta, who stares at it for a beat in surprise before [[DelayedReaction passing out and flopping facefirst.]]
41
42	[[AC:''George and AJ'']]
43	* The two eponymous characters being in JawDrop mode for ''[[OverlyLongGag more than a full day!]]''
44	* The many ways the houses scram (Cats (driven by a CrazyCatLady, no less), slingshot, hovercraft, drill, oxygen rocket)
45	* Carl's DynamicEntry in his ''ridiculously huge zeppelin!!''
46	-->'''[[CoolOldGuy Carl Fredericksen]]''': Afternoon, boys!
47	* The commentary for it on the ''Pixar Shorts'' DVD has the director, after a minute of having no idea how to do the commentary, bringing in Creator/TomKane, using his announcer voice, to do the commentating for him. HilarityEnsues.
48	* The news crawler, featuring such news as that "[[ShapedLikeItself South America [is] just like America, but south]]".
49
50	[[AC:''Luxo Jr.'']]
51	* Really, the whole thing. It's barely two minutes long, but owing to it's a landmark achievement in CGI character animation, the two characters, neither of whom speak or even have faces, are able to communicate exactly what they're thinking with masterful timing and gestures.
52	* Luxo Jr.'s shocked reaction when the ball gets stopped by the cord.
53	* At the end, after Luxo Jr. accidentally deflates the ball he was jumping on, he runs off-screen, with Luxo Sr. looking after him...[[HereWeGoAgain only to recoil in surprise when Luxo Jr. comes back with an even bigger ball.]] Luxo Sr. looks at the camera and shakes his head like he’s saying, "He'll never learn."
54
55	[[AC:''Lifted'']]
56	* The poor alien. Just his ''facial expressions''.
57	* A small one, but the little alien pushing his teacher out of the way, leaving a large handprint which starts slowly sucking back into shape like gelatin. If memory serves, Pixar built a new software simulation engine ''just'' for that gag.
58	* Then there's the moment when the alien just completely gives up in frustration and starts hitting ''all'' the switches.
59	** And the result of this action.
60	** [[RealitySubtext This was inspired by the director's desire to do the same to a soundboard.]]
61	* The alien ship crashing onto the house unexpectedly. Subverted heartwarming ending, anyone?
62
63	[[AC:''For The Birds'']]
64	* The tiny birds. Seriously, they all sound like squeaky toys.
65	* When all the little birds are mocking the big, goofy one when they first see him.
66	* Then comes the appropriately karmic comeuppance. [[NakedPeopleAreFunny Nekkid birdies!]]
67
68	[[AC:''Knick Knack'']]
69	* One of the aforementioned knick-knacks is a pyramid with sunglasses.
70	* The payoff to the intro: we see all these various bouncing, happy knick-knacks, hanging out and having a good time... and then we get the snowglobe, with a ''very'' disgruntled snowman named Knick.
71	* Knick's first attempt at breaking out? Smashing his (thin and plastic) igloo into the glass.
72	* Because of the timing of the music, Knick's attempt at using his nose as a chisel begins accompanied by laughter, as if he himself were laughing.
73	* Knick then tries to use a jackhammer. All this accomplishes is his face being shaken off.
74	* Shortly after hastily fixing his face, Knick uses a welder and a flint striker to cut his way through the snowglobe. The resulting burst of flame sends the snowman offscreen.
75	* Pretty soon, the rest of the knick-knacks bare witness to Knick's antics and become concerned... because his ''newest'' act is to try and '''blow up the snowglobe'''. Except for the one from Palm Springs, who apparently is [[ThePollyanna too cheerful]] to even notice all this going on.
76	* It's only as the snowglobe is falling off the shelf that Knick realizes [[CuttingTheKnot the bottom of the snowglobe has a door]].
77	* And then, you get the punchline: Knick lands in a fishbowl, and spots a mermaid knick-knack... only to get trapped back in the snowglobe when it falls on top of him as he attempts running over to it.
78
79	[[AC:''Day and Night'']]
80	* The cow moo sound effect of Day yawning.
81	* Day basically taking a leak by moving in front of a waterfall.
82	* Night's reaction to the hot sunbathing girl: showing an image of a wolf howling at the moon. Day drags him to a pool party full of hot girls and Night gets a double-bullseye expression.
83	* At the end of "Day & Night", when Night has dawned upon Day, and immediately realizes... hot sunbathing girl!
84
85	[[AC:''La Luna'']]
86	* When the little boy is holding his papa and grandpa's brooms, and the broom heads both resemble their respective facial hair.
87
88	[[AC:''Mater and the Ghostlight'']]
89	* Mater's pranks on everyone.
90	* In the ending scene before the credits, the Sheriff warns Mater, who was already scared out of his wits over the non-existent Ghostlight, about the Screaming Banshee. After the credits are done rolling, we're treated to a scene of a [[IncrediblyLamePun monstrous truck]] (who is most likely the Screaming Banshee himself) looming over Mater. His reaction upon turning around? Warn the truck about a "Banshee" and wish him goodnight before leaving.
91
92	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/ToyStoryToons: Hawaiian Vacation'']]
93	* There's the part with Mr. Pricklepants having the three Pizza Planet aliens audition for his latest production. Initially, he thought that the first two aliens' performances were mediocre or dreadful, but he liked the third one's great emotion. The cincher? All three aliens were uttering their trademark "Ooh" in the exact same tone.
94	* As soon as Bonnie leaves, Woody's first order of business is to play checkers with Slinky Dog. He asks Slinky if he's ready to lose at checkers and Slinky replies, "When pigs fly!"
95	-->'''Hamm:''' ''(to Buttercup)'' Actually, I had an uncle who was a pilot.\
96	'''Buttercup:''' Really?\
97	'''Hamm:''' No, not really.
98	* The Bonnielikeoke motel.
99	-->'''Ken''': I thought we were staying at a resort?
100	-->''(Jessie puts up sticky note with the word "resort" on it over the word "motel")''
101	-->'''Potato Head''': Welcome to the Bonnielikeoke ''resort''!
102	* What about the part with Ken and Barbie pretending that they were deep-sea diving? Not only do the Pizza Planet aliens blow bubbles in the empty fish tank to simulate ocean water, but then Hamm switches the TV that they were swimming in front of from a tranquil underwater scene with fish to a shark submerging out of the water, making Ken and Barbie freak out.
103	-->'''Hamm:''' ''(to Buttercup)'' Shark Week.\
104	'''Buttercup:''' Nice!
105	* Horseback riding.
106	-->'''Woody''': Ride like the wind, Bullseye!"
107	-->'''Ken''': Ride like the wind, Buttercup!
108	-->'''Buttercup''': Okay, get off me.
109	* Chuckles the Clown leading the luau, reading his lines completely deadpan.
110	** According to WordOfGod, the words he is saying roughly translate to "[[WesternAnimation/{{Boundin}} Bound and]] [[ActorAllusion rebound]]".
111	* The return of Spanish Buzz, and his lightstick fire dancing.
112	--> '''Buzz (Spanish Mode):''' We removed the poop from the kitty litter.
113	--> '''Mrs. Potato Head:''' [[DramaticIrony Ohh, Spanish is so]] ''[[DramaticIrony beautiful]]!''
114	* And let's not forget at the end of the short where Ken and Barbie stepped outside in the snow in their winter clothes to share their first kiss before walking off the front step of the porch and into the deep spot of the snow. The scene after the credits even showed Woody and the others using a blow dryer to defrost Ken and Barbie from the ice block that they were frozen solid in.
115	** The other toys' comments during this scene:
116	--->'''Slinky Dog:''' What're they doing out there?\
117	'''Buttercup:''' It's gotta be... a bazillion degrees below!\
118	'''Hamm:''' Good thing they're wearing the 1982 winter weekend collection.
119	** Then just at the moment where Ken and Barbie are about to fall in the snow:
120	--->'''Mrs. Potato Head:''' How romantic.\
121	'''Mr. Potato Head:''' Yeah, 'til they fall off the deck.\
122	''(cue the couple falling into the snow)''\
123	'''Hamm:''' ...I'll get the shovel.
124
125	[[AC:''Cars Toons'']]
126	* In "Tokyo Mater": [[ComedicUnderwearExposure "I'M STOCK!!!"]]
127	* The IncrediblyLamePun in "Unidentified Flying Mater" after Mater asks if he should [[TakeMeToYourLeader take the UFO to his leader.]]
128	-->'''Mater''': ''(gesturing toward several liters of oil)'' Well, here's all my liters!
129	-->'''UFO''': Yum!
130	* In "Air Mater", Mater's attempt to land after his initial flight:
131	-->'''Mater''': ''(landing properly)'' Got it! ''(rolls upside-down)'' Lost it! ''(rolls right-side-up)'' Got it! ''(rolls over and over until he stops, upside-down)'' Lost it.
132	* Whenever [=McQueen=] tries to interject that Mater's stories didn't happen, he turns it around and says "You was there too!" And lo and behold, Lightning [=McQueen=] is suddenly a part of Mater's crazy tale.
133	** And at the very end of each short, when [=McQueen=] continues to try to interject against Mater, something happens right then associated with Mater's tale in question to ensure that what happened was RealAfterAll.
134
135	[[AC:''Toy Story Shorts: Small Fry'']]
136	* The completely deadpan way that Woody asks where the real Buzz is once Mini-Buzz shows up. He clearly does not have time for this crap.
137	* The entire performance of Jane Lynch as a support group moderator, and pretty much every toy in the group.
138	* "My name is [[EnsembleDarkhorse Recycle Ben]], [[{{Irony}} and I got recycled!]]"
139	* Lizard Wizard's squeak of delight when Buzz picks him up is too hilarious for words. Same goes for his jittery excited anticipation when Buzz is supposed to rejoin the group. Also, Buzz's deadpan expression while grudgingly pretending to play with Lizard Wizard is priceless.
140	* "Kids don't like [=PizzaBot=]. [=PizzaBot=] sad."
141	* After getting kicked in the rump by Mini-Buzz, Hamm asks someone to tackle him. Woody barrels Mini-Buzz seconds later at the end of his song.
142	-->"Thank you."
143	* The mere fact that one of the toys in the support group is based off of one of the more obscure Disney adventure movies- the protagonist of 1981's ''Film/{{Condorman}}''.
144	* While being tied up as the group thinks of a way to save Buzz, Mini-Buzz takes the opportunity to try flirting with Jessie. It doesn't work.
145
146	[[AC:''Partly Cloudy'']]
147	* EVERYTHING. God, that poor, poor stork....
148	* The reveal of the stork's head being completely covered in porcupine quills. But what really sells it is the nervous little laugh that accompanies it.
149
150	[[AC:''Toy Story Shorts: Partysaurus Rex'']]
151	* Seeing the fuzzy toilet seat cover resembles [[Franchise/MonstersInc Sulley]]'s fur. This Website/YouTube comment says it best...
152	-->"R.I.P. Sully, 2001-2012. May he forever warm our butts."
153	* "Aw man, the floaters have all the fun!" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GSeLAUmmRg "WHAT UP FISHES?!"]]
154	* A little police toy car drives by, seemingly to control the situation. Then the police car dives into the water for the fun.
155	* Desperate to end the bathtub party quickly before it overflows, Rex pulls on a stopper and turns off the water. Then it's revealed [[NiceJobBreakingItHero he accidentally turned on]] [[FromBadToWorse the shower]].
156	* The next Party Rex is going to help with? Lawn toys!
157
158	[[AC:''Party Central'']]
159	* Throughout the short, Oozma Kappa has been using closet doors to transfer the party from Worthington's place to their place, disturbing the couple that's sleeping in their room, with the wife completely convinced that she heard something. The final time, she hears a scream canister explode.
160	-->'''Wife:''' Okay, that's it! There definitely is something in there.\
161	'''Husband:''' Alright, fine. You want me to check, I'll check. ''(Cut to Sherry about to door surf, cut back to the husband)'' How many times do I have to tell you? There's nothing in our closet. ''(opens closet to see a whole bunch of monsters gibbering against a fiery background and Sherry comes flying through the closet out the other closet in slow-motion while the husband and the wife stare in shock)''
162	** TheStinger has the parents showing up in their kid, Timmy's room, asking to sleep with him since there are monsters in their closet. Timmy's response is gold!
163	-->'''Timmy:''' That's what I've been trying to tell you!
164
165
166	[[AC:''Geri's Game'']]
167	* Just everything. It's all one big MindScrew: Is there actually two of the same man? Does he have a split personality?
168	* The way that Geri with glasses beams at Geri without glasses after winning the chess game.
169	** ''How'' he won deserves mention: after being left with only his king, and being one move away from losing, he ''fakes a heart attack'' and, when Normal!Geri looks down to check on him, he '''flips the board around'''. And, shockingly, ''Normal!Geri doesn't notice''.
170	*** There's also the fact that Normal!Geri was ''confused that this happened'', even going so far as to check his ''own'' heart/pulse. That's right, Geri got so wrapped up in his game that he thought he ''actually had a heart attack''.
171	** And what is the point of getting so into the game? A set of false teeth.
172	* What makes this even more HilariousInHindsight is that this may very well be the same old man who repairs Woody in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'', and who even keeps ''his chess pieces'' in one of the drawers of his tool chest!
173
174	[[AC: ''Piper'']]
175	* A small RunningGag where Piper keeps sitting by the nest with an open mouth, expecting her mother to feed her.
176	* After she gets splashed with a wave on while first hunting for her own food, we [[GilliganCut cut]] to Piper sitting in her nest later that same day, soggy and [[PlayedForLaughs clearly traumatized]] by the experience.
177	* Piper’s interaction with the kid crab, brushing sand on it in annoyance after the crab accidentally threw sand at her. The crab’s response is simply to climb up the small sand pile and sassily pinch her beak.
178
179	[[AC:''Sanjay's Super Team'']]
180	* In the beginning, Sanjay and his father having a small battle between which sound will drown out the other: Sanjay's superhero tv show, or his father's meditation chant. It escalates with Sanjay turning up the TV's volume louder and louder! ... [[CuttingTheKnot until Sanjay's father turns off the TV with the remote control.]]
181	* Once meditation commences, Sanjay makes no effort to hide ''how little'' he wants to meditate.
182	* In an attempt to retrieve his action figure, he accidentally sets fire to its cape by getting it too close to a candle.
183
184	[[AC: ''Bao'']]
185	* Something on-the-nose about the dumpling son acting progressively like a rebellious teenager is so comical.
186	* In an effort to reconnect to her bao son, the mother cooks up a Chinese dinner fit to call a feast. But instead of partaking in this delicious meal his mother slaved to make, the dumpling son decides he'd rather go out with friends for the evening. Infuriated by his [[UngratefulBastard ingratitude]], the mother spends the night [[ComfortFood angrily gorging herself on the dinner herself]].
187	* Although it's supposed to be a TearJerker, there's something strangely sudden about how during an argument to keep her dumpling son from leaving the nest, the mother [[BlackComedy eats said-dumpling son]].
188	* Both the mother and her son are [[JawDrop impressed]] by how the daughter-in-law makes more dumplings without any help.
189	* The mother's shocked expressions are rather funny, mainly because they start coming after the viewer has gotten accustomed to the normal squinty eyes, making the sudden appearance of her eyeballs all the more unexpected.
190
191	[[AC: ''Twenty Something'']]
192	* Ten, Sixteen and One looking over how each of them are really bad at "adulting": Sixteen caused a fender-bender earlier that day, leaving her taking out her and meekly whimper "Mooom?" Ten claims she's no better, as she tried to put together some Ikea-style furniture herself, only for that furniture piece ''and'' all the pieces she previously put together falls apart. As for One, she simply pigs out in a public restaurant, being the baby she is.
193	* "Marry me..."
194	** All said while Sixteen hugs the man she's love-struck over.
195	* The ending montage of all the clubbers being imagined as teens, kids or babies has shades of this. The guy who catcalls Gia is humiliated to the point he shrinks to a little kid. One of the attendees at the club bar turns into a baby when she has a crying fit about not getting her drink. And a guy who previously made out with his girl turns into a teen when he hits on another girl.
