5* "No more Mr Push-over. [[HypocriticalHumor Now who wants a puppy?]]"
6* The whole [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aqn4C8utJyw scene in the diner]]. The highlights are:
7** Big Daddy's reaction to having a beignet he was about to eat snatched out of his hand by Charlotte.
8--->"What just happened."
9** A few seconds after this, when Charlotte gives Tiana enough money for the beignets to pay for the building, the look on Chef Buford's face is absolutely priceless and the egg he was frying falls off his spatula.
10** Big Daddy stuffing another beignet into Charlotte's mouth so that he could finally put in a single word into her [[MotorMouth endless stream of chatter]]. This is made even better by the fact that right before this, it ''looks'' like Charlotte is going to let him talk... Then she interrupts him again, which is what causes Big Daddy to shove the beignet in her mouth.
11* When Tiana shows her mother the inside of the sugar mill, which is quite dilapidated.
12-->'''Tiana:''' ''(cheerfully)'' Doesn't it make you want to ''cry?''\
13'''Eudora:''' ''(not so cheerful)'' Yeeesss...
14* "What a coincidence Lawrence, I have been avoiding you everywhere!"
15* "[[DontExplainTheJoke You see, your head, it is in the tuba.]]"
16* "Don't you disrespect me, little man!"
17** He calls him little man again when saying he doesn't want to waste much time.
18* "Friends on the Other Side" is mostly NightmareFuel, but it also has this part:
19-->'''Facilier:''' ''[singing]'' I'll look deep into your heart and soul... ''[aside, speaking]'' [[TakeThat You do have a soul, don't you, Lawrence?]]
20* Another brief moment in "Friends on the Other Side".
21-->'''Facilier:''' ''[singing, about Lawrence]'' On you little man I don't want to waste much time! ''[looks disgusted and throws his hand as if saying forget about you]'' You've been pushed around all your life. You've been pushed round by your mother and your sister and your brother. ''[Lawrence looks progressively more annoyed]'' And if you was married... ''[Lawrence looks very happy about that idea]'' ...You'd be pushed round by your wife! ''[Lawrence glares at him while Naveen laughs]''
22** During the part where Facilier points out that Lawrence has been pushed around by his family, Facilier presents it in an animated flipbook with tarot cards.
23* This scene, which is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMwAQOqm2ok impossible to convey properly in text]], and follows [[MoodWhiplash a heartfelt moment of friendship between Charlotte and Tiana]]:
24-->'''Charlotte:''' [''hitches up her bustline''] Well, back into the fray!
25** And right before that last one while she's putting on mascara:
26--->'''Charlotte:''' [''has a slight MadEye[=/=]TwitchyEye''] You know, I was startin' to think that wishin' on stars was for... babies... and... [[HypocriticalHumor CRAAAAAAAzy people]].
27** And, a few minutes before that when turning down the advances of a man attending the ball:
28--->'''Charlotte:''' Travis. When a woman says "later", she really means "Not ever". Now run along. There are plenty of young fillies dying for you to waltz them into a stupor.
29** The way Charlotte reapplies her makeup super-fast upon seeing "Naveen", throws [[EverythingsBetterWithSparkles a handful of glitter into the air]], and hurries down the stairs is pretty funny as well.
30* "PUT. THE MONKEY. DOWN."
31* Even after seeing it over and over in the ads, it's still hilarious:
32-->'''Naveen:''' I am Prince Naveen... [''He is squished by a book''] [--...of Maldonia.--]
33** He introduces himself the same way to Charlotte near the end of the movie, with almost the exact same results.
34--->'''Naveen:''' I am the ''real'' Prince Naveen... [''He is squished by a book''] [--...of Maldonia.--]\
35'''Charlotte:''' Did you say "prince"?
36* All the time Naveen shamelessly boasts about his looks, his potential wealth, his charm... ''while'' he's a frog. It's like he's totally forgotten he's green and six inches tall.
37* Naveen's attempt at a kiss:
38-->'''Naveen:''' [''seductively, as a frog''] Come, we pucker! [''his throat suddenly inflates and he lets out a loud croak'']... [''still seductive''] That's new.
39* Tiana's little hissy-fit as she works up the nerve to kiss Frog!Naveen.
40* Naveen and Tiana (as frogs) landing on the drum set at the party, causing the drummer to accidentally perform a kick ass solo--which the party guest mistake as a cue and dance in Macarena style.
41* Dr. Facilier answering the obvious loophole about his voodoo powers.
42-->"Fun fact about Voodoo, Larry.. can't conjure a thing for myself."[[note]]He actually ''can'' manipulate his shadow, however.[[/note]]
43** It's especially the defeated shrug that sells it.
44* While Facilier is convincing Lawrence to continue impersonating Naveen, we get this line.
45-->'''Facilier:''' And you and I can split the [=LaBouff=] fortune straight down the middle. 60-40, like I said.
46** Also while he says the last line, he's looking away from Lawrence while rubbing a hand over his mouth like he's trying to lessen the chance Lawrence notices what he's saying.
47** Later, Lawrence's Naveen disguise starts to wear off while he's with Charlotte. Cue him slowly switching back from a svelte, young, AmbiguouslyBrown nobleman to a fat, old, white butler while trying to hide from Charlotte.
48* Tiana and Naveen's argument as they're drifting on the balloons on a rainy night in the bayou.
49-->'''Tiana:''' VOODOO? You mean to tell me all this happened 'cause you were messing with the Shadow Man?\
50'''Naveen:''' He was very charismatic!\
51'''Tiana:''' ''(groans)'' Serves me right for wishing on stars. The only way to get what you want in this world is through hard work.\
52'''Naveen:''' Hard work? Why...why would a princess need to work hard?\
53'''Tiana:''' Huh? Oh, I'm not a princess. I'm a waitress.\
54'''Naveen:''' A ''waitress''?! Well, no wonder the kiss did not work! YOU LIED TO ME!\
55'''Tiana:''' No, no, I never said I was a princess!\
56'''Naveen:''' You never said you were a waitress! You... You were wearing a crown!\
57'''Tiana:''' It was a ''costume party'', you spoiled little rich boy!\
58'''Naveen:''' Oh, yeah? Well, you know what? The egg is on ''your'' face! Because I do not have any riches!\
59'''Tiana:''' What?!\
60'''Naveen:''' I am ''completely broke''! Haha! (''balloon pops'') [[OhCrap Uh-oh]].\
61(''Tree branches pop all the balloons and the frogs plummet into the swamp below'')
62** As the frogs plummet, spider web strands break Tiana's fall and she stops an inch above the water. She smiles in relief... until Naveen falls on top of her and they splash in.
63** As the frogs continue to argue as they encounter every danger of the Bayou.
64--->'''Tiana:''' You said you were fabulously wealthy!\
65'''Naveen:''' No, my ''parents'' are fabulously wealthy, but they cut me off for being a-- (''sees a leech attached to his elbow)'' [[AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption LEECH!]] LEECH!\
66'''Tiana:''' ''(pulls the leech off Naveen's arm)'' You're broke?! And you had the gall to call ''me'' a liar?!\
67(''she tosses the leech and a leaping catfish devours it; the frogs run to shore'')\
68'''Naveen:''' It was not a lie! I fully inte--AAAH! (''Looks up to see a heron looming above them; the frogs sprint as the heron repeatedly stabs its beak at them'') I fully intend to be rich again! Once I marry Ms. Charlotte [=LaBouff=]! If she will have me!\
69'''Tiana:''' You're a prince?!\
70'''Naveen:''' Obviously!\
71'''Tiana:''' She'll have you!\
72'''Both:''' AAAAH! (''The frogs slide down a hillside, hit a slope and flip through the air. They land on hard ground.'')\
73'''Tiana:''' Alright then. Once you two are married, you are gonna keep your promise and get my restaurant, right?\
74'''Naveen:''' Whoa, whoa, whoa, not so fast! I made that promise to a beautiful princess, not a cranky wait— why are those logs moving?\
75''(in the water, alligator eyes creep towards the frogs)''\
76'''Tiana:''' [[OhCrap Those aren't logs]]!
77** Then as Tiana and Naveen narrowly escape the thrashing gators, and climb into a hollow tree.
78-->'''Naveen:''' Well, waitress, it looks like we are going to be here for a while. We might as well get... ''comfortable''.\
79'''Tiana:''' [''slap''] Keep your slimy self away from me!\
80'''Naveen:''' I told you, it is not slime! [[InsistentTerminology It is MUCUS]]!
81** On a sidenote: how does Naveen, who from what we know at this point in the movie, is a klutzy, sheltered ditz, know the difference between slime and mucus?
82* Louis' flashback to when he once tried to play in a jazz band. Despite Louis' friendly behavior and his outstanding performance, the humans react about as well as you would expect to a giant alligator leaping onto their boat. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQmDZNurtJU Cue Louis escaping back to the water]] before [[MoreDakka the humans fire their guns]], more than ever seen before in a Disney film.
83-->'''Louis:''' ''(flatly after telling his backstory)'' [[{{Understatement}} It didn't end well.]]
84* During the "When We're Human" song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp_LCOlr854 Louis repeatedly bangs the poor turtle to his head as if he was a hat.]]
85* In the German dub of "When I'm Human", Louis wants to be "in a shirt and jeans".
86* To viewers from Louisiana, the scene where Naveen says he is from a land far away (which Ray interprets as meaning Shreveport) is beyond hilarious.
87* "I FOUND A STICK!!!!"
88* The old firefly granny with the walker and a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Clapper Clapper]] function on her bulb.
89* Anytime Louis gets a thorn from the pricker bushes.
90-->'''Louis:''' PRICKER BUSHES GOT ME! GATOR DOWN, GATOR DOWN! (''[[AsideGlance Ray rolls his eyes]]'') THE DARKNESS IS CLOSIN' IN! IT'S SO COLD!\
91'''Ray:''' Will you hold still, you big baby?!\
92'''Louis:''' '''''AAAAAAAAAAAAH!'''''\
93'''Ray:''' I ain't touched it yet.
94* Tiana, Naveen, and Ray vs. the three frog hunters Reggie, Darnell & Two-Fingers .
95** Ray shoots himself in Reggie's nose causing him to drop the net with Naveen inside. Reggie then blows, sending a snot-covered Ray onto a rock.
96--->'''Ray:''' I think I done chipped my favorite tooth... (''plops into the water'')
97** Darnell, the fat, clumsy idiot hunter has a vague, faint glimmering of savviness:
98--->"Pa, did you hear that suspicious thud?"
99** The way the three frog-hunters hit each other looks like something out of the Three Stooges.
100** Eventually the hunters collapse heavily bruised before Tiana sends them packing.
101---> '''Reggie:''' These two ain't like no frogs I ever seen. [[AmplifiedAnimalAptitude They smart.]]\
102'''Tiana:''' [[TalkingAnimal And we talk too.]]\
103''(The three of them [[FreakOut scream in terror]], and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere quickly paddle away far into the distance]])''
104* When Louis performs a variation of mouth to mouth on Ray, using a reed. It works, but Ray comments "Your breath done near killed me [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment to death."]]
105* When Ray starts singing in French and Naveen translates, " I adore you." and "I love you" while facing directly at Tiana who gives him a weird look. Naveen's response? "Just translating."
106* [[CoolOldLady After sending the Shadow Man's goons running]] Mama Odie turns to our heroes...
107-->'''Mama Odie:''' Now which one of you naughty chil'ren been messing with the Shadow Man?\
108(''Louis points at Naveen, who smiles nervously.'')
109* Mama Odie's epic {{Troll}} moment when she offers Tiana and Naveen candy and they turn down the offer.
110-->'''Mama Odie:''' Now, that's too bad. This is a special candy. Woulda turned y'all human. ''(pops the candy into her mouth as the two frogs frantically beg)'' I'm just messin' with y'all!
111* When we first meet Mama Odie, after seeing her "eccentricity".
112-->[''Mama Odie falls asleep and Louis stares at her'']\
113'''Louis:''' Are you sure this is the right blind Voodoo lady who lives in a boat in a tree in the bayou?\
114'''Ray:''' Pretty sure.\
115'''Louis:''' [''concerned AsideGlance that screams "We're Doomed"'']
116** The way Louis asked Ray implies that there are ''other'' [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative blind old voodoo ladies that happen to live in a tree-lodged boat in the bayou]].
117* The end of "Dig A Little Deeper".
118-->'''Mama Odie:''' Do ya un'astand what ya need no', child?\
119'''Tiana:''' Yes, I do, Mama Odie! I need to dig a little deeper and [[ComicallyMissingThePoint work even harder to get my restaurant]].\
120[''everyone groans and {{Face Palm}}s'']\
121'''Ray:''' Okay, everybody now. One more time! [''singing''] Don't matter what ya look like, don't matter what -- ain't nobody gonna sing wit' Raaay, okay.
122* "Gumbo, gumbo, in the pot, we need a princess. Whatcha got?" "Hush up and look at the gumbo."
123* Louis, on realizing the other musicians on the paddleboat [[ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself mistook him for a guy in a costume]], has [[{{Squee}} a fanboy spazz-attack]] at the chance to finally "play with the big boys."
124* Naveen's moth bow-tie. No cuter frog has ever existed.
125-->'''[[PunnyName Beau]]:''' I thought it was a nice touch.
126* Naveen's awkward proposal. Even though that should count as heartwarming, it's just too hilarious to see him overdo it and ''just'' fall short of screwing up. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWIRrtygTeU Take a look]].
127* Charlotte sweetly telling the fake Naveen to hurry up and finish getting ready for their wedding. . .then in a split second turning to her father and screeching at him to "START THE CAR!"
128* Before (disguised) Lawrence and Charlotte's wedding, an aggravated Facilier throwing one of his cards at Lawrence.
129* "No Larry! I'm the one who's doomed!"
130** In the same scene the way how the shadow is simply cowering in fear the entire time while Facilier talks. The Facilier looks [[OhCrap absolutely terrified when the shadows come thinking they are there to get him.]]
131* When Ray finds Naveen locked up at the Mardi Gras:
132-->'''Naveen:''' (''muffled'') Ray! Get me out of this box!\
133'''Ray:''' I can't hear you! I'm gonna get you outta this box!
134* Charlotte yelling "Cheese and crackers!" when the disguised Lawrence runs away with Naveen the frog after Naveen stops the wedding kiss from happening.
135* The rare scenes in which ReluctantMonster Louis overcomes his timidity and acts upon his predatory "alligator" instinct; the first time clearing a crowd by scaring everyone during Mardi Gras and second time to persuade the Fenner brothers to sell Tiana the old building.
136* When Dr. Facilier's talisman is broken, his "Friends" soon show up to claim their due. He tries to charm his way out one more time, greeting them with a cheerful "FRIEEEEEEENDS!" and a big wide [[OhCrapSmile "scared out of his mind" grin]].
137** And they respond by grinning evilly and shouting [[IronicEcho "ARE YOU READY?"]], making it clear that they're most certainly ''[[WithFriendsLikeThese not]]'' [[YouHaveFailedMe his friends anymore (as if they ever were)]].
138** Including this line, after the "Friends" sing, "Are you ready?"
139--->"No! I'm not ready at all! In fact, I've got lots more plans!"
140** As horrible as Facilier's end was, a pause as he gets pulled into the portal shows his hat flew off and then fell back down.
141** Just the fact that the Friends on the Other Side feel the need to ''make [[SourceMusic their own]] ominous BGM or back up someone else's'' when they or an agent are dealing with souls. NotSoAboveItAll at its best.
142* "Prince Naveen! Your shy and retiring bride-to-be is getting antsy!" (''kicks in the door to the church'')
143* The way Naveen puckers up for Charlotte's kiss, compared to the beginning.
144* When Charlotte's kiss fails to turn Naveen and Tiana back into humans, she frantically keeps kissing Naveen. While the plot point itself is serious, the shot of Naveen with a CoveredInKisses [[TheComicallySerious dead-serious face]] shrugging as if to say 'Sorry, still ain't working', is ''hilarious''.
145* Meta example. Jim Cummings is a voice actor who voices Ray and is well known for his Cajun impression. However, more and more Voice Acting is going to "Named" actors. During the audition process, he joked that it would come down to him and Harry Connick Jr. When he got final callbacks, his agent told him it was between him and one other person. Harry Connick Jr.
