  • Everything Jeremy Irons says and does. Literally Everything
    • Bruce Payne also adds his raw supply of ham to the movie, and evvvvveeerrrry tiiimmmmee heee exxxtteeeenddsss his sentancesssss counts as a moment in its own right
  • Snails' opinion on his and Ridley's plan to break into the magic school as they’re in the middle of climbing an extremely tall tower.
    Snails: Why it gotta be so high up!
    Ridley: Quiet!
    Snails: Can't we just rob the first floor next time?
    Ridley: Shush!
    Snails: Why don't we just rob God while we're up here!
    • A few minutes later, Snails is calling Ridley out on how he had said the heist would be 'easy', to which Ridley retorts that he said it 'wouldn't be impossible'. Snails launches into a tirade about the time one of Ridley's bright ideas got Snails a Groin Attack from a halfling they were robbing. What pushes it into hilarious territory is how Ridley mouths along with Snails: clearly it's not the first time Snails has brought it up!
    • And immediately after, Ridley convinces Snails to jump from the rope, assuring him that he'll catch him. Snails does so... Just as Ridley gets distracted by a growling critter offscreen, resulting in Snails plummeting to the floor with a high-pitched squeal.
      Ridley: Oops... [Picks him up] I thought I heard something.
      Snails: You did! Me hitting the ground!
  • Snails getting relationship advice from Elwood.
    Elwood: You gotta be kidding! The problem with elves is they don't got no meat on their bones! You gotta get yourself a nice 250-pound dwarf, huh?! With hair on her chin you can hang onto!
    Snails: (dashes off, looking like he's about to puke)
  • Meta example: Word of God has alleged that at the film's wrap party, one of the actors who'd enjoyed playing an over-the-top fantasy villain had expressed disappointment that his character, having been vanquished, couldn't return for a potential sequel. Courtney Solomon, veteran D&D gamer, immediately informed the guy that he could think of at least nine game-admissible ways to bring his character back in one form or another, just off the top of his head. Non-gamer jaws dropped all around the room, as most of the cast and crew hadn't had a clue that Death Is Cheap was very much a thing in Dungeons & Dragons.
