5	* When Georg tells the children that Uncle Max will be coming back with him, he is quite clearly rolling his eyes.
6	* When the von Trapp kids play catch with the baroness, the baroness gets hit in the crotch with a ball.
7	* Two nuns come up to the Mother Superior while she watches the Nazis struggle with starting their cars:
8	-->'''First nun:''' Reverend Mother, I have sinned.\
9	'''Second nun:''' I too, Reverend Mother.\
10	'''Mother Superior:''' What is this sin, my children?\
11	''[both nuns look at each other, then produce engine parts from the Nazis' cars from under their robes]''
12	* After the Captain asks Maria why she still has her dress if all her clothes were given to the poor: [[EvenBeggarsWontChooseIt "The poor didn't want this one."]]
13	** In the same scene: "Were you this much trouble at the Abbey?" "Oh, much more, sir."
14	** Also, "I won't have to whistle for them, Reverend Captain--I mean--"
15	* This exchange:
16	-->'''Captain:''' ''[with barely restrained anger]'' Are you telling me ''my children'' have been running around Salzburg dressed in nothing but some old '''drapes'''?!?\
17	'''Maria:''' ''[grinning from ear-to-ear]'' Mmhmm! And having a marvelous time!
18	* "I am not finished, Captain--" "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Oh yes YOU ARE]], [[FreudianSlip CAPTAIN]]... Fraulein."
19	* "...and THESE... are my ''children''."
20	* While they're eating dinner, Maria guilt-trips the children for trying to make her first day miserable, causing all of them to lose their appetites. Liesl and the two boys sit in shamefaced silence, and Louisa, Brigitta, Marta and Gretl start to cry one by one:
21	-->'''Captain von Trapp:''' Uh, Fraulein...is it to be at every meal, or merely at dinnertime, that you intend leading us all through this rare and wonderful new world of... indigestion?\
22	'''Maria:''' ({{beat}}) Oh, they're all right, Captain. They're just happy... ''[cue full-on bawling from the four girls]''
23	* Kurt reprimanding Brigitta for calling Maria's dress the ugliest one they ever saw, since one of their previous governesses wore an even uglier one.
24	* "Will father approve of this?"\
25	"Of course [...] Don't you trust me?"\
26	"No."\
27	"You're a very intelligent girl."
28	* Liesl's verse in "So Long, Farewell" and her father's response:
29	-->'''Liesl:''' So long! Farewell! Au revoir! Auf Wiedersehen!\
30	I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne! Yes?\
31	'''Captain von Trapp:''' ''No.''
32	** Liesl's pouting face afterwards.
33	* "...Excuse me, sir. I don't know ''your'' signal."
34	* When the Captain points out a hole in the children's blueberry-picking story - namely, that blueberries aren't in season yet - Friedrich tries to cover with, "They were strawberries! [[DiggingYourselfDeeper It's been so cold lately they turned blue]]."
35	** Then the "Did I ''really'' just say that?" look on Friedrich's face directly afterwards.
36	** Captain von Trapp's face is just hilarious as his children's lie get more outlandish. He's visibly {{Corpsing}}.
37	* When Maria asks Gretel how she hurt her finger: "It got caught!" "Caught in what?" "Friedrich's teeth!"
38	* "You know how Sister Berthe always makes me kiss the floor after we've had a disagreement? Well, lately I've taken to kissing the floor when I see her coming just to save time."
39	** In the film, the Reverend Mother clearly has to resist the urge to FacePalm.
40	* "Hello! Here I am!"\
41	"..."\
42	"I'm from the convent - I'm the new governess, Captain."\
43	"And I'm the old butler, Fraulein."
44	* The Captain and the Baroness pass by some children up trees dressed in matching outfits. She asks what on earth is going on, to which he replies, "[[DramaticIrony It's nothing. Just some local urchins.]]"
45	* "God bless what's-his-name."
46	** It comes to her later: "KURT! That's the one I left out! God bless Kurt!" BOOM
47	* When Kurt introduces himself as "incorrigible", Maria responds with "Congratulations"...which is funnier when you realise what incorrigible ''actually'' means (uncontrollable or firmly fixed in their ways)
48	* Maria stops in the middle of her own musical number when she sees the size of the house. Julie Andrews' delivery of "Oh, help" is priceless.
49	** Followed by nearly slipping and falling on her face as she tries to sing some more about how confident she is, an actual flub by Julie Andrews that everyone naturally agreed to keep in the film.
50	* Remember how Maria said nuns' worldly clothes are given to the poor when they join the convent? At the opening of the scene where Reverend Mother convinces Maria to return to the von Trapps, she has just finished admitting a new postulant, and sends her to change into her robes. In the next scene, when Maria returns to the Von Trapps, she's wearing the dress that new postulant gave up!
51	* After Liesl casually mentions that Louisa can make the climb up to the governess' room with a whole jar of spiders in her hand, Maria reacts brilliantly. Despite having a heart-to-heart with Liesl, she spends the rest of the scene sneakily checking under her bed clothes for anything. She jumps when she does find something... but it turns out to be a slipper.
52	* Somewhat "meta" here, but hearing the nuns complain about Maria "singing in the abbey" becomes about five times funnier when you realise that this complaint is expressed through song, [[HypocriticalHumor while they're in the abbey.]]
53	* Brigitta's blunt honesty throughout the film is priceless.
54	* When the children and Maria discuss who should sing next, Maria then presents her guitar to the Captain. The look on his face is utterly priceless.
55	* Maria's reaction to being sent to take care of seven children - her eyes look ready to pop out of her head. Reverend Mother calmly asks "don't you like children, Maria?" - to which Maria says she does "but ''seven''?"
56	** Maria also shows that despite her naiveté, she's no fool--when the Mother Superior says that the Captain has had a very difficult time finding a governess for the children, Maria warily asks, "Er. . .why so difficult?", no doubt instantly suspecting that the children must be very badly behaved.
57	** This gets followed up when she meets the Captain:
58	--->'''Captain:''' "I trust you'll be an improvement over the last one (governess). She stayed only two hours."\
59	'''Maria:''' "What's ''wrong'' with the children?"\
60	'''Captain:''' ''(defensively)'' "There's ''nothing'' wrong with the children, only with the governesses!"
61	* The Salzburg Marionette Theatre premiered a puppet version of ''The Sound of Music'' in 2007. Among other changes, "The Lonely Goatherd" plays during the curtain call...in which the puppeteers operate marionettes of the von Trapps operating marionettes of the characters in the song.
62	* Maria comes racing back into the abbey after her opening number, only to suddenly notice the Reverend Mother and several other nuns right next to her. She promptly slows to a walk and gives a brief glance skyward.
63	* Gretl claims she can't sing because she hurt her finger. What really makes the gag is that Max doesn't question it at all.
64	* When the family hides from the Nazis, Gretel epitomizes ChildrenAreInnocent when she blithely asks Maria, "Would it help if we sang about our favorite things?" (Maria had taught them the song as a means of feeling better or allaying their fears) Maria can't help but laugh at the absurdity of the question before quickly telling her, "''No'', darling, this time it would ''not'' help." and telling her to be ''very'' quiet.
