* The narrator [[LampshadeHanging hanging a lampshade]] on Peter Sellers' multiple roles in the film, by stating that Sir Roger Fenwick "was in every possible way, [[ReallyGetsAround the father of his country]]."
* There's is an explosion and a huge mushroom cloud on the horizon.
--> '''Narrator''': Ladies and gentlemen, this is not the end of the film. However, something like this might easily happen, and we thought we should put you in the proper mood. [[MoodWhiplash And now, back to our story.]]
* This gem when General Snippet and the four NYC policemen are thrown into a "dungeon" (actually a museum) to see all the various [[ColdBloodedTorture medieval torture devices]] that Fenwick used in the past.
--> '''General Snippet''': Now remember men, only your name, rank and serial number
--> '''Policeman''': What if they torture us?
--> '''General Snippet''': Nevermind what they do. Don't talk.
--> '''Second Policeman''': Can we scream a little?
** And eventually Snippet's intransigence leads to him sitting alone in a cell grumbling about his slop-tray not being the regulation size and composition as dictated by the Geneva Convention, while the policemen enjoy delicacies cheerfully offered up by scantily-clad serving girls.
* After it gets out that Grand Fenwick captured the Americans' ultimate weapon, every other country on the planet sends telegrams pledging alliances to a suddenly overwhelmed Grand Fenwick. When Prime Minister Rupert reads a telegram from China, the honorable opposition leader Benter angrily opposes -- as any Western political figure would during TheFifties -- any alliance to "RedChina". Rupert sighs and exclaims, "No, it's from [[UsefulNotes/{{Taiwan}} the other China]]."[[note]]Taiwan at the time claimed its status as the original remnants of China that was part of the Second World War's United Nations. They held the permanent chair on the UN Security Council until TheSeventies when Communist mainland China was finally recognized.[[/note]]
* The bomb being shaped like a football inevitably leads to the opposing sides literally playing football with it as it threatens to explode.

* Watching the American and Russian astronauts squabble over who gets to claim the moon in the name of their country. Only for the Fenwick astronauts to walk right up to them and ask to see their passports.
