** The behind the scenes story of Creator/DavidFincher being forced to change the line when the people at Fox told them the original line was too racy. However, they only told him to ''change'' it, not tone it down, and because he has only agreed to do it once, they couldn't make him change it back.

-->'''Tyler''': ''(sweetly)'' A nice. Big. Cock.

--> Hey man, it could be worse. A woman could cut off your penis and toss it out of the window of a moving car.

--> Some of it, yeah.

-->'''Tyler:''' [''Narrator fires the gun, putting a hole through the van's rear window, causing Tyler to flail around like mad''] WHOA! WHOA!... OKAY! You are now firing a gun [[spoiler:at your imaginary friend]] [[SuddenlyShouting NEAR 400 GALLONS OF]] [[MadeOfExplodium NITROGLYCERIN]]!!
** [[spoiler:You've gotta be pretty balls-to-the-wall crazy to have '''your hallucination''' call you nuts. It's kinda cool since it shows that the symptoms "Jack's" schizophrenia isn't just the existence of Tyler, it's more realistic than many Hollywood depictions.]]

* The [[spoiler:"nice big cock"]] reappearing just before the end credits.

* BlackComedy at its finest, the Narrator using innocuous-sounding airline jargon to [[spoiler:describe "Jack's" HeroicBSOD at realizing he's Tyler.]]
-->'''Marla:''' Is that a pretty accurate description of our relationship, [[spoiler:Tyler]]?
-->'''Narration:''' [[UnusualEuphemism We have just]] [[OhCrap lost cabin pressure.]]

--> '''"Jack":''' Why does everyone think [[spoiler: I'm you]]?
--> ''(Tyler pointedly Looks at him)''
--> ''("Jack" gives an epic FlatWhat look)''
--> '''Tyler:''' ''(Finger snap)'' Ya got it.
--> '''"Jack":''' ''(Sounding more like "Aw, come on, man" than anything else)'' Nooooooooo....
--> '''Tyler:''' ''Say'' it...?
* Just Creator/BradPitt's delivery when [[spoiler: his character has to explain that he's a SplitPersonality.]] Like "Really? Do I really have to explain everything to this guy?"

--> '''Narrator:''' ''Clean'' food, please.
--> '''Waiter:''' (Whispering to the Narrator) In that case sir may I advise against the lady eating the clam chowder?
--> '''Narrator:''' No clam chowder, thank you.
* When the detective first calls the Narrator to talk about the explosion that destroyed his apartment, the Narrator's monotone responses plus Tyler's interruptions lead the detective to chastise the Narrator for not taking the issue seriously enough. In response, the Narrator gives an melodramatic speech about how much the apartment really mattered to him, capping it off with him saying that it was not just the apartment that was destroyed, "It was me!"
--> '''The Narrator:''' (''voiceover'') [[DeadpanSnarker I'd like to thank the Academy]].

* One of the funniest scenes in the book, that was not used in the film: Marla collects fat from her mother's liposuction and leaves it in the fridge to eventually have work done on her lips. Tyler and the narrator have been sending Marla's mother chocolates, then stealing the collected fat to make soap, which infuriates Marla. They then hide in a broken down car while she destroys the kitchen, ranting that they've "boiled" her mother.

* Marla's quote after the first time she has sex with Tyler: "I haven't been fucked like that since grade school". Sure, it CrossesTheLineTwice, but it's funny as hell. What makes it even funnier is that Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter actually had no idea how shocking it was – since they don't use the term [[spoiler:grade school]] in England, she thought the line was fairly innocuous and was ''horrified'' when someone explained it to her later.

* The fact that [[GagBoobs B]][[FanDisservice ob]] is exempt from the sixth rule of Fight Club.

* "When the snooty cat and the courageous dog with the celebrity voices meet for the first time in reel 3," the audience gets to see the single frame of porn Tyler spliced in there. Not to mention Tyler's AsideGlance into the camera with a {{Troll}}-like smile.

** And ''somehow'' that flash of genitalia was enough to make a little girl in the audience weep.
** A meta-example for this particular scene-- in the film commentary with Creator/DavidFincher, Creator/BradPitt and Creator/EdwardNorton, a conversation about casting is derailed when the scene fades in to show the reel displaying the "nice big cock". Norton ''immediately'' deadpans, "Fincher appears in all of his films."

* In a meta twist, the Blu-ray tricks you into thinking you're watching ''Film/NeverBeenKissed'', only to reveal itself.

* After Tyler's introduced, when the Narrator gets off the plane and is looking for a bit of lost luggage, he sees Tyler ''steal a convertible by hopping in it and driving off'' with the car's owner chasing after him trying to get him to stop! It might be a bit confusing, since it most likely only took place in the Narrator's mind, but it's damn funny.

* The Narrator and Tyler stealing human fat from a liposuction clinic. Starting off, there's Tyler's perfect comedic timing with informing the Narrator on how due to certain substance balance requirements, human fat is the one best suited for soap production, and they're gonna raid a liposuction clinic dumpster, Tyler tossing a full bag into the Narrator's arms awkwardly, and finally they end up snagging one bag on the barbed wire fence, causing it to tear open and spill the contents, which Tyler fruitlessly tries to catch, only to slip on the fat and fall on his ass.

* The Narrator takes Marla to a restaurant in order to explain everything and get her out of town. Marla doesn't understand why he gets free food, but takes advantage of it. The Narrator quickly realizes he needs to fix make a clarification:

** Even funnier is that David Fincher said he was dying of embarrassment when that scene was shown at the premiere, knowing that Helena Bonham-Carter's ''mother'' was in the audience. Fortunately, she apparently [[RefugeInAudacity thought the scene was]] [[ActuallyPrettyFunny hilarious]].

** The deleted take's line is both horrifying yet hilarious at the same time: "I wanna have your [[DeadBabyComedy abortion]]".
