3* When "Jasmine" jumps Walter and licks him in thanks for the food and kindness in the cornfield. Also a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.
4* Hub and Garth's airplane embedded in the barn, upside-down.
5-->'''Sheriff:''' Near as I can figure, they were trying to fly through the barn upside down...
6* The final extravagant purchase by Hub and Garth. A yacht so big it barely fits in their fishpond. And the Sheik's grandson's deadpan response to seeing it.
7-->'''Sheik's Grandson:''' [[DeadpanSnarker I see they spent my grandfather's gold wisely.]]
8-->'''Walter:''' Yeah, well... [[NoodleIncident There was this one]] [[RunningGag traveling salesman...]]
9* The fight between Hub and the teenager with the knife. The teen comes in to stab Hub, who easily disarms him, telling him he's holding the knife wrong, correcting his form, then tossing the knife back to the teen, who then proceeds to attack again, using the ''exact motion Hub recommended to him''. Though it still doesn't work.
10* After Hub insists on fighting the teenagers, Garth makes him an offer.
11--> '''Garth''': Well look, you fight this one first, and then I'll let you fight the other three after. OK?
12--> '''Hub''': Yeah!! Watch this kid.
13** Splitting the difference between Funny and Awesome, you must remember that the fight with the quartet of juvenile delinquents takes place only a few hours after Hub has had a mild heart attack and gotten out of the hospital for same.
14* Garth tells the leader of the punks to pick up his knife, because he'll need all the help he can get against Hub.
15* During a farming montage, the uncles pass a tin of tobacco between the two of them. When Hub has dipped, he passes it to Walter. Cue Walter taking a dip and spitting it out on the ground, while Garth tells off Hub.
16** And later, the discovery that every single plant in their garden is corn, courtesy of a dishonest salesman.
17* All the [[AllMythsAreTrue not-so-tall-tales]] about Hub and Garth's past adventures.
18** Especially Garth's telling of the part where he helped Hub escape his chains. In his version, we see him fight off several men all while carrying about 100 pounds of gold. Walter questions how he could possibly do this, and Garth admits that "Hub might have helped a little." Cue the ''real'' version, where Hub breaks out and fights on his own while Garth spends the fight hobbling around off-balance from the gold, trying to draw his gun and only succeeding after all the guards were taken care of.
19** What sells it is the grimace on Garth's face as he remembers it.
20** [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Don't forget the midget.]]
21* The look on Stan's face when he realizes that, yep, that ''was'' a lion he just saw running towards him.
22* Hub and Garth's will: "The kid gets it all. Just plant us in the damn garden with the stupid lion."
23** Doubles as a heartwarming moment, because not only do they leave all of their worldly goods to the great-nephew who was like a son to them, they also cared about Jasmine the lion enough to want to be buried in the same place as her.
24* In a deleted scene, Walter catches Garth mailing requests for companies to send salesmen to the house. Garth explains that Hub needs to keep himself occupied. Let that sink in. He was requesting that salesmen come to the house ''[[ComedicSociopathy just so he and Hub could shoot at them]].''
25* When the group goes after Jasmine the Lion, thinking she's mauling Walter, the two boys are too small to even carry a shotgun by themselves, so the bigger one holds it by the stock while the smaller one helps support the barrel.
26* When Hub is in the hospital, Garth and Walter are in the waiting room. Walter is asking awkward questions about Hub's past, so Garth grumbles that he wishes the nurses would tell him ''something'' about how Hub is doing. A beat later, Hub's bedpan comes sailing out of his room while Hub screams ''not'' in pain, but in '''rage,''' and rants about where his pants are. Garth and Walter can't help cracking up.
27-->'''Hub:''' Get out of my face! Where’d you put my damn pants?! ''WHERE ARE MY PANTS?!'' Gimme my pants! Who put me in here? ''WHO PUT ME IN HERE??'' ''(points at Garth and Walter)'' ''[[YouExclamation YOU TWO!!]]''\
