1!!The Film
2* [[YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe "The shit hath hiteth the fan...eth."]]
3** The [[{{Bowdlerise}} Bowlderized]] version could be considered funnier: "The ''squid'' hath hiteth the fan...eth."
4* In Cameron's first scene with Miss Perky, she tells him she's sure Padua won't be any different from the other schools he's attended. Immediately after that line, something (possibly toilet paper or eggs) splats against the window behind her. She carries on talking to Cameron as if nothing happened, save for FlippingTheBird out the window.
5* Mrs Perky summing up how Kat is referred to.
6--> '''Mrs Perky:''' People perceive you as somewhat...
7--> '''Kat:''' Tempestuous?
8--> '''Mrs Perky:''' 'Heinous bitch' is the term used most often.
9** Kat thinks for a moment [[InsultBackfire and grins at that label]].
10** She gets to be on the other side of that, as she excuses herself to let Mrs Perky get back to Reginald's "quivering member". The counsellor adds that to the book.
11* [[NoodleIncident "I still maintain that he]] [[GroinAttack kicked himself in the balls."]]
12* [[PapaWolf "Stop... Turn... Explain."]]
13** "And hell is [[APartyAlsoKnownAsAnOrgy just a sauna."]]
14** "My momma didn't raise no fool."
15** ""Whoops"?! My insurance does not cover PMS!"
16*** And Kat's answer to that: "Well, then tell them I had a seizure". The completely nonchalant way it's said by Kat to encourage her father to commit ''fraud''. And also because the word "seizure" is sometimes used not in is original, purely medical meaning, but as in "hissy fit"--which suits Kat's character well.
17* "Hello, Katarina, made anyone cry today?" "Sadly no, but it's only four-thirty."
18* "What is it with this chick? She have beer flavoured nipples?"
19** What makes it even funnier is how perfectly it sums up the inexplicable number of men so desperate to date Bianca, both in the movie and [[Theatre/TheTamingOfTheShrew the source material]].
20* "[[{{Foreshadowing}} Someday, you gonna get bitch slapped, and I'm not gonna do a thing to stop it]]."
21* During Bogey's party, a conversation Joey is having with Bianca is briefly interrupted by a screaming drunk guy falling past the window next to them.
22* When Patrick turns up late to English class and finds he's not missed much, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere he just walks away]]. Mr. Morgan's indignant "Hey, hey!" afterwards is hilarious.
23* Kat's '[[DistractedByTheSexy The Plan]]' for distracting the other soccer team.
24** She distracted him with her "wits".
25** "Now that I've shown you... 'The Plan'... I'm gonna go... and show 'The Plan' to somebody else" *cue death by embarrassment*
26* Ms. Perky and her novel.
27** "Judith!! What's another word for... engorged?"
28*** Swollen? Turgid?
29*** ''Bratwurst''.
30* Mr. Morgan's casual hostility towards his students.
31** And him outright laughing at Joey, who he knows got his eye blackened by Bianca at the prom.
32* The teacher in detention confiscating a student's weed, then thinking a minute and confiscating another kid's cheetos. (Possibly because he'd need a snack after smoking said weed.)
33* This conversation between Cameron and Michael:
34-->'''Cameron:''' ''(in a sullen tone)'' We're ''screwed.''
35-->'''Michael:''' Hey, no, hey. I don't want to hear that defeatist attitude. I want to hear you ''upbeat.''
36-->'''Cameron:''' ''(In a tone that can only be done by someone on crack)'' We're SCREWED!
37-->'''Michael:''' That's better.
38* "What's a Bogey Lowenstein?"
39* It's cruel, but Joey pushing Michael to the floor at the prom counts.
40* Mr Stratford giving a Death Glare to Joey when he turns up to pick up Bianca on prom night, before promptly slamming the door in his face.
41* The HilariousOuttakes.
42** "Can I get a prophylactic... a prophylactic... ah..."
43** *thwap!* "Shall we go to my office?!"
44** Creator/HeathLedger suddenly grabbing Creator/JuliaStiles's face and making out with her.
45** Creator/DavidKrumholtz ruining a take of the scene where Michael comforts Cameron after Bianca leaves him at Bogey Lowenstein's party by (as Michael) [[HoYay declaring his undying love for Cameron]]. It ends with him and Creator/JosephGordonLevitt wrestling on the floor.
46* [[SarcasmMode "Am I that transparent? I want you. I need you. Oh baby. Oh baby."]]
47* Bianca proving quite unresponsive when Walter tries to give her a lecture.
48--> '''Walter:''' This morning, I delivered twins to a [[TeenPregnancy fifteen-year-old girl]]. Do you know what she said to me?
49--> '''Bianca:''' I'm a crack whore who should have made my skeezy boyfriend wear a condom?
50--> ''Walter looks [[ActuallyPrettyFunny impressed against his will]] and has'' ''[[SidetrackedByTheAnalogy to think for a moment]]''.
51--> '''Walter:''' Close...
52* "Your eyes have a little green in them." [[VomitIndiscretionShot *BWARF!!*]] (Now his shoes do as well.)
53* [[FaceDoodling "...I have a dick on my face, don't I?"]]
54* [[SkewedPriorities "That was Costa Rican, butthead!"]]
55* In an uncharacteristic moment of cartoonishness, when Bianca is practicing archery but is interrupted by Joey, she turns and shoots the teacher in the ass, who proceeds to flail around in pain for a while.
56** Comes back as a BrickJoke when he's supervising detention and sits down on his desk - only to quickly jump back up, wincing in pain.
57* Bianca being made to wear the fake belly by her Dad.
58** "Who knocked up your sister?"
59* "My balls!"
60** Prior to that, Kat yells, "Remove head from sphincter, ''then'' drive!"
61* "Don't say shit like that. People can hear you!"
62* ''{{Beat}}.'' "... are you saying I'm not a pretty guy?"
63** Cue the two characters being accused in this fashion desperately assuring him of how pretty he is.
64* Patrick running away from the police as he's singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" and slapping one on the ass.
65** Takes on a layer of HilariousInHindsight when Heath Ledger would later go on to play ComicBook/TheJoker.
66* "Maybe if we were the last two people alive. [[BestialityIsDepraved And there were no sheep.]] (''{{Beat}}'') Are there sheep?!?!"
67** Also the reactions of the first and last interviewees in that scene. One bursts out laughing. The other ScreamsLikeALittleGirl.
68* "Should you be drinking alcohol when you don't have a liver?"
69* Honestly, if you timed all of the jokes - from dialogue to visual gags - in the movie, they average up to around one every 1.5 seconds. That's quality comedy right there.
70
71!!The Series
72* Cameron upon realizing that Michael is gay thinks he has a crush on him. Michael assures him otherwise
73-->'''Michael:''' Now Joey on the other hand...\
74'''Cameron:''' ''(mutters)'' I keep losing out to that guy.
