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. |
