1	* In a bit of GallowsHumor, the fat lady screaming at the [[GoryDiscretionShot splattered body of Hudsucker]], then Mussburger calmly grabbing Hudsucker's lit cigar and not wanting to waste "a good Montecristo".
2	* Norville pitching his idea to a tired old mail sorter:
3	-->'''Norville:''' "See, I don't think I'll be working in this mail room for very long!"
4	-->'''Old Timer:''' "[[DeadpanSnarker Nope, don't s'pose you will.]]"
5	* An executive [[DrivenToSuicide who decides to follow Hudsucker's example]] mid-way through the movie learns that the high-rise office building's SoftGlass has been replaced with a new type of safety-glass... when he smacks face-first into it at a full sprint and gets stopped cold.
6	* Amy's reaction to Norville insulting the writer of a hatchet piece on him, unaware that it was actually her:
7	--> '''Norville:''' "Say, Amy, how about you and I grab a little dinner and a show after work? I was thinking maybe ''Theatre/TheKingAndI''."
8	-->''smack!''
9	--> '''Norville:'''"...Uh, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint how about]] ''Theatre/{{Oklahoma}}''?"
10	* Never has the invention of the hulahoop been so [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLOAXDb6fps hilarious.]]
11	* TheDreaded Blue Letter. Achieves BrickJoke status when late in the film Angelic Hudsucker bemusedly tells Norville failure to deliver a Blue Letter is cause for dismissal -- this while Norville is about to get himself "squished."
12	* Buzz's over-the-top reaction to getting fired. It's tough not to feel bad for the poor guy, but actor Creator/JimTrueFrost is ChewingTheScenery ''so'' hard that you can't help laughing, either.
13	* The GreekChorus cabbies [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neiwP6k-Lgk commenting]] on Norville and Amy.
14	-->'''Lou:''' There's illness in the family.\
15	'''Bennie:''' Her mother needs an operation...\
16	'''Lou:''' Urgently.\
17	'''Bennie:''' Adenoids?\
18	'''Both:''' ''(with Amy)'' Lumbago!\
19	'''Bennie:''' Oh, that gag's got whiskers on it!
20	** After she turns on "the waterworks" and makes a show of crying in despair for a long moment, Amy eventually has to elbow [[CaptainOblivious Norville]] in the side to get his attention.
