  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Natalie Portman and the film's choreographer Benjamin Millepied are now married and have two children together. He is the guy Thomas asks if he would do Nina, Natalie's character, and answers no. Portman, heavily pregnant with his child during her thank you speech at the Golden Globes, said: "He's the best actor! It's not true! He totally wants to sleep with me!"
  • (A waiter is using corny pick-up lines on Lily while serving her food)
    Waiter Scott: You got enough cheese?
    Lily: No, but you do.
  • Lily's reaction when she finds out about Nina's wet dream:
    Lily: Oh my God, you did, you fantasized about me! *gasp* Was I good?!
  • When Nina stabs Lily with a piece of broken mirror, her first idea afterward is to unceremoniously drag the body into the bathroom with the mirror still under it.
  • Nina, high on Ecstasy and drunk, faces an interrogation by her Stage Mom after a night on the town:
    Erica: You've been drinking.
    Erica: What else? What else have you been doing?
    Nina: *feigns surprise* Oh, you wanna know their names?
  • When Beth was questioning Nina on how she got the part.
    Beth: Did you suck his COCK?
    • Nina's subsequent put-down and Beth's gobsmacked facial expression equally deserving of mention:
  • After seeing Rothbart as a nightmarish figure in Nina's hallucinations for the whole film, it's quite a shocking laugh when the actor playing him in the show passes by Nina in full costume and gives a casual "Hey."
  • Seeing Nina's "homework" come to a jarring halt when she realizes her sleeping mother is right there can be pretty funny.
  • Thomas' reaction when Nina bites him. Just the way he says "That fuckin' hurt."
    • Also, his reaction when the lights randomly going off when he's in mid-rant.
  • Nina's attempts to flirt at the bar consist of... offering to comp tickets to her performance. You can't help but laugh.
