As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
- The beginning
of the movie starts off strong with all sorts of hilarious moments:- As Puss entertains the audience, a child is laid out so Puss can step on his face, which he obliges to. The boy and his father ecstatically declare how they'd never wash the boy's face ever again.
- Puss forgetting which town he's in and having to be corrected. The fact that the townspeople don't seem to care makes it even funnier.Puss: People of Córdoba—!
Woman: It's Del Mar!
Puss: [in the exact same tone, without hesitating] People of Del Mar—!
[the audience cheers wildly] - The crowd in the opening encourages Puss to sing them a song. Puss denies the request while holding out his paw. Someone quickly throws him a guitar, which Puss immediately starts playing.
- This exchange when the Governor discovers Puss throwing a wild party in his mansion.
- There's also his reaction (and everyone else's) to finding that Puss defaced his portrait... which he rips while climbing down the rafters.
- This moment during the Giant’s attack:The boy Puss stepped on: (being picked up by the giant) Wee! I’m flying!
Puss: No! You are not flying! I will save you!
Governor: (also being picked up) Save me, TOOOOO!
Puss: If it’s convenient!- Puss’s first move against the giant is one he likes to call the “Spanish Splinter” — in which he stabs the Giant's thumb right underneath its fingernail, the audience collectively wincing over just how painful that is.
- When the giant flings Puss after the aforementioned "Spanish Splinter", Puss slams into a signboard that then crashes through a series of walls. Puss isn't even fazed and is instead casually reclining against the board, using at as cover as he smashes through the walls. When he finally stops in front of a bewildered man drinking his coffee, Puss grabs the drink and quaffs it himself, making his eyes widen from the caffeine and letting out a very cat-like yowl before reentering the fight.
- The way the eighth death occurs, right as Puss is flaunting his victory.Puss: One more number! I call this one "The Legend Will Never Di"— (gets crushed by the bell)
Kid: (cheerfully, after the screen goes dark) Puss in Booooots! - The town doctor who treats Puss after the bell incident is also the town barber, and occasionally has to remind himself which of his professions he's supposed to be practicing at the moment. He's also the town's vet. As he goes to examine Puss he hits his knee and gets swatted in the face, remarking his reflexes are "catlike". Then he turns Puss around, lifts his tail, grabs a thermometer and asks him to relax, much to Puss's horror.Puss: (interrupting) Trust me. I run hot.
- He offers Puss one of the "advances of medical technology", leeches. Puss hisses at it and the doctor nonchalantly shrugs, saying "more for me" as he drops it down his shirt.
- He also happens to be the town witch finder. As Puss leaves, a witch can be seen in the waiting room.
- After giving Puss his doctor’s orders that he needs to retire after losing his eight other lives, he gives Puss the warning “death comes for us all” in a foreboding tone, before cheerfully offering him a treat. Puss huffily tells him he “needs to work on [his] bedside manner” and takes the whole treat jar.
- The montage of Puss losing his eight previous lives.
- He lost his first life in the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, where he stopped to flirt with a lady in the stands and got trampled.
- He lost his second life after he joined a canine poker game and was caught cheating with a five-ace hand. There's even an ace sticking out of his hat.
- He lost his third life drunkenly stumbling off of a bell tower... holding a glass of milk. Because he insisted a cat always lands on its feet.
- He lost his fourth life by getting crushed by a barbell too heavy for him after refusing a spotter. For a bonus, Puss in this life is shown to be ripped.
- He lost his fifth life getting shot out of a cannon, insisting it was "the future of travel".
- This one gets even more funny with The Trident short film going more in depth to show Puss was captured by pirates and stuffed into the cannon before being saved by Kitty. He gets shot out anyway out of arrogance and refusal to admit that Kitty saved him, shooting himself out of the cannon to prove he wasn't in any danger.
- He lost his sixth life due to eating a dish that triggered a shellfish allergy... and continued eating it after confirming with the waiter. Plus, there are very clearly mussels and shrimp in the dish and in his drink, and he still had to ask.
- He lost his seventh life baking cookies with Gingy and stubbornly refused to admit he set the oven too high, and got incinerated when he opened the door.
- The seventh death originally happened when he participated in a sumo wrestling match. Guess what happens when a little cat goes up against a towering sumo wrestler.
- Finally, as he comes to the giant, Puss nonchalantly asks, "What is that, like, four?" He wasn't kidding when he said he wasn't a math guy.
- The Wolf's first appearance quickly becomes terrifying, but there are still some chuckles to be had in its first minute:
- For starters, Puss dismisses the idea of going to Mama Luna's, insisting he's no lap cat... then starts drinking his milk by lapping it up with his tongue. When the Wolf suddenly appears in the chair next to Puss while whistling his trademark tune, Puss just turns and stares at him with his tongue still out.
- The Wolf then strikes up a conversation with Puss, praising the cat's attire, making Puss understandably feel awkward. Puss even tries to scoot his seat away from him, thinking the Wolf is one of those annoying fans.
- Moreover, when Puss realizes the Wolf is there for a fight, he tries to engage him with the usual “Fear me, if you dare!” bravado... before the Wolf backhands Puss’s sword into a nearby table mid-catchphrase and casually sips his drink.
- Puss' reaction when the Wolf disarms him is nothing short of hysterical.
- Puss tries to get serious and the Wolf doesn't even take him remotely seriously, casually dodging all of his attacks and mocking him.Death: Slow. Sloppy. Sad.
- Knowing who the Wolf really is adds another layer of hilarity to the sheer boredom he exudes after Puss' claim that he "laughs in the face of death". When Puss challenges him, he simply rolls his eyes and gets himself a drink from the bar, much to the cat's visible confusion.
- The moment starts and ends as a Tear Jerker, but when arriving at Mama Luna’s house to hide from the Wolf, Puss gives himself a funeral by burying his own clothes and at first can't bring himself to talk, but then returns and attempts to do a robust eulogy to make himself feel better. He cuts himself off and walks away when it doesn't work. Then he comes back again and tries to do a reprise of his "I Am Great!" Song — only to break down into Inelegant Blubbering, complete with what is apparently eyeliner running down his face. And to top that off, how does he bury his outfit? By kicking dirt backwards onto it as though it were cat litter.
- After hearing a knock on the door, Mama Luna loudly yells that there were "no cats" in her house and tells the health department to go away. Once she sees Puss she happily lets him in, but then looks around suspiciously, telling him the health people are "always watching".
- Mama Luna's house features as one of its residents the "Oooh!" cat from the previous film.
- Mama Luna spritzes Puss (or "Pickles") after catching him using a "person potty" and tells him to use the litter box like her other cats.
- His reaction says it all.Puss: So, this is where dignity goes to die.
- The other cats' deadpan reaction to "Pickles", in contrast to them waving when Puss was at the door. Clearly, she does this every time, and they're as sick of it as Puss.
- His reaction says it all.
- After sampling the dry food Mama Luna feeds her many cats, Puss immediately recoils from the awful taste. Cut to Puss standing in front of a lit stove, flipping a pancake. Mama Luna spritzes him away.
- The "Wanted!" Poster screen for Goldilocks and the Bears has the latter make standard bear noises... while Goldi makes an Evil Laugh.
- When Puss meets Perrito, he tries to get him off his back by saying "No hablo inglés". Unfortunately for him, Perrito is fluent in Spanish.Perrito: ¡¿Hablas español?! ¡Yo también! ¡Ah! ¿De dónde eres? ¿Te gustan las siestas?note
Puss: I don't speak Spanish, either.
Perrito: (laughs) You're funny. - Perrito's cat "disguise" is a bunch of beads strung on a wire tied to his tail and a crappy cat helmet that doesn't even cover his face. Either Mama Luna doesn't mind having canine company that much or she genuinely thinks Perrito is a cat.
- In contrast to the typical Wanted Posters seen throughout the film's earlier half to introduce the characters, Perrito has an Unwanted poster.
- The scene when Goldilocks and the Bears storm Mama Luna's house in search for Puss is full of hilarious antics.
- This exchange:Puss: What could they possibly want to offer Puss in Boots?
Perrito: What's a Puss in Boots?
Puss: Seriously?! - When the Bears were first introduced beforehand, they appeared to be somewhat sentient (at least enough to understand Goldi's commands) but not fully sapient and therefore unable to speak, making it look like they're just there to serve as her attack dogs. Once they arrive at Mama Luna's sanctuary, Goldi orders the Bears to make her "talk", to which Papa Bear approaches Mama Luna with a menacing snarl, ready to rip the poor woman to shreds, but then...Papa Bear: (in an incredibly polite tone and a thick London accent) Excuse me, my darling, we're lookin' for the legendary Puss in Boots. Have you perhaps—
(Mama Luna hits him with a broom in response. Not only does he not even flinch, but the broom BREAKS.)
Papa Bear: ...seen him?
Goldi: Too soft.
Mama Bear: (threatening Mama Luna with a claw) Out with it, you old biddy, or I'll have your guts for garters! [sticks the claw up Mama Luna's nose, causing her to faint]
Goldi: Too hard! That was not "just right!" - This is the start of a Running Gag throughout Goldi's B-plot, wherein she and the Bears refer to various things as "too hard", "too soft", or "just right", just like in the original fairy tale. The last one doubles as Arc Words when it turns out that Goldi is looking for a proper family, which she realizes she already had near the end, in the form of the Bears.
- Baby Bear's second spoken line is pointing out that Goldi isn't his real sister and is a "fugitive orphan". Papa Bear gives him a Dope Slap in response and tells him to do what Goldi says (to sniff out Puss). Baby complies, but complains that all he can smell is cat's pee.
- Papa Bear then stuffs Mama Luna into a piano, starts to play a bunch of ham-fisted notes... and then plays a jaunty rendition of the Beer Barrel Polka. Mama Bear calls this the "piano treatment," so it's apparently a common tactic of theirs... though it doesn't have much effect on the old lady.
- Mama Luna’s comment on Papa Bear’s playing pismo:
Mama Luna: My cats can play better than you! - Mama Bear tries on a nice hat, with Goldilocks begging for her to focus.
- Baby Bear finds a closet full of cats who fall on top of him and start scratching at his fur, causing him to flail around in a panic until he falls out the window. He then grumpily says he'd be outside, with a cat still clinging to his back. Seeing this from his and Perrito's hiding spot, Puss can only mutter a deadpan "Amateurs."
- Puss is finally found... but Goldilocks can't recognize him, calling him a scruffy geriatric bag of bones. Puss is visibly offended when Goldilocks sums him up with said description.
- This exchange:
- Baby claims he has a plan when Goldilocks doesn't trust him.Goldilocks: (laughing) You've got a plan?
Baby: What? I'm smart, ain't I? Ain't I, Papa?
Papa: No, you ain't well-fixed for brains. - Big Jack Horner's introduction. He approaches some of his employees, sticks out his thumb and dives it into a pie to taste its filling while the bakers wait apprehensively... He then changes his expression from dead serious to a far more cheerful one while highly approving the batch of pies calling it "delicious".
- Later at Jack Horner's factory, Baby crashes through the ceiling with Goldi telling him it was "real catlike". The mere fact Baby thought the ceiling would withstand the weight of an adult bear is ridiculous... Papa did say he wasn't "well-fixed for brains" for nothing.
- After Perrito digs up Puss' outfit, Puss puts it on and tries his distinctive pose... and realizes too late he left his sword behind at the bar, resulting in him awkwardly deflating along with the background music. Later, at Jack Horner's factory, Perrito tries to replace it with a stick.Perrito: A stick sword!
- In a flashback to Big Jack doing his old "Little Jack Horner" routine, his bored audience quickly runs over to the more interesting sight of a certain living puppet. Young Jack complains that, unlike Pinocchio, he was always a real boy.
- After opening the chest and retrieving the map, Kitty, who had been hiding inside the lid appears and steals it. But then the two recognize each other, to varying degrees of enthusiasm.Kitty: Puss?
Puss: Kitty?
Kitty: (angrily) Puss!
Puss: Kitty~! (gets kicked in the face) - The Serpent Sisters. When they walk, they actually do it in a slithering manner. As they ask Jack for their payment, their weight in gold, he offers them a statue of the hand containing the Midas Touch. The brown-haired sister, Jo, calls dibs and grabs the hand.Jo: Oh no! I misjudged the situation! (turns into gold)
- Even more hilarious, as Jan awkwardly asks if she can go, she wheelbarrows the golden-statued Jo out of the room.
- A few moments before, Jo is oddly eager to enthrall Jack with the tale of murder (a lot of it, according to her) that led to them getting the map, annoying Jack greatly.Jo: Like I was saying, the amount of murdering—
Jack: MAKE! WITH! THE BOX!
- Kitty insulting Puss's beard, equating it to a possum that crawled on his face and died of shame. He lies and says that he liked the beard and thought it was distinguished.
- Goldi and the Bears had apparently hired Kitty, who had obviously backstabbed them to get the map for herself.Goldilocks: You said you were going on some "spiritual retreat"!
Kitty: (bowing) Namaste.- The bears and Goldi then turn to Puss, who they thought was dead.
Goldilocks: And you're supposed to be dead!
Puss: ...I got better? - As the bears confront Jack Horner, Mama Bear asks if he has any savory pies, and Papa Bear asks if they can get a dozen pies to go. Goldi looks back and forth, stunned by her family as they ask what kind of pies Jack has. Jack, Kitty and Puss are equally confused.Goldi: Just give us the map!
Papa: And throw in a dozen pies!
Goldi: Eh?
Mama: Oooh. Have you got any savory pies?
Goldi: What? No!
Baby: Yeah, what flavors you got? - From this clip involving Puss and Kitty escaping Jack's factory:
- Puss runs off with the map, abandoning the others. Then, in a Call-Back to the previous Puss in Boots movie, he looks away for one second only to find that he's holding his boot, and Kitty has the map. Poor Puss is left flabbergasted once again.
- Then there's Big Jack Horner standing menacingly by the door to his office while silently ordering his henchmen to get the map back... Only for Goldi and the Three Bears come out busting the door and knocking Jack away who also lets out a hilarious yelp.
- Puss grimacing when Kitty tears a guard's mustache off, only for his beard to get caught in some gears.
- Puss gets his boots stuck in a pair of pies with the Bears advancing on him, belatedly realizing he only has a stick for a weapon. Baby asks if what he was wielding was a stick and Puss hits him on the nose. When Mama appears, he hits her knuckles.Baby: Is that a stick? What're you gonna do with that— (Puss chucks the stick on Baby's face) OW!
[...]
Mama: (Puss then hits Mama's paw) Ow! Me knuckles!! - He then hits Papa who doesn't give a reaction at all, while Goldi grins smugly in the background. Puss gives an "Oh, Crap!" Smile in response, right before Papa sends him flying.
- Then Puss and Kitty falls on the coach Perrito is. Kitty falls gracefully on her feet, Puss... not really, he clumsily lands on his back with his feet upwards.
- Just before Puss asks Perrito to drive the coach they land in, the dog takes the time to point out that he found a sandwich, which he thinks is tuna. Puss promptly slaps it out of his paw.Puss: (hurriedly) Drive, perro!
Perrito: (singsong) Okie-doh~! - As the group make their getaway, we get this exchange:Perrito: Oh cool! Another member of the team!
Puss and Kitty: We're not a team!
Puss: Eyes on the road! (makes Perrito face the road)
Perrito: I'm Puss's best friend!
Puss: No, he isn't. (pushes Perrito away making him watch the road again)
Perrito: And his therapy dog!
Puss: Definitely! Not! (nonchalantly turns Perrito head towards the road yet again)
Kitty: Finally. You need therapy. - Puss and Kitty's argument over the map quickly degenerates into hissing and yowling at each other.
- Puss and Kitty snarl at each other over the map to the Wishing Star as they're being chased by Jack Horner and the Baker's Dozen. When a flaming arrow lands on it, they blow it out quickly and snarl at whoever fired the arrow. Perrito also gets grazed by the arrow, setting his hair alight for a few seconds, but neither of them notice.
- Jack's montage of stuffing magical artifacts into his Bag of Holding has a number of chuckle-worthy moments, including handing one of his minions a floating umbrella which carries her away, throwing away a Glass Slipper which shatters, and roughly shoving the Phoenix in its cage into the bag despite the bird squawking in protest. The topper, however, has to be using a magic wand to enchant a pumpkin to serve as a personal carriage. He doesn't tap the pumpkin with the wand, no - he smashes it. Gallagher would be proud. Special mention also goes to the fact that the "horses" pulling the carriage are actually unicorns with their horns removed.
- As the cart with our protagonists speeds through the desert, Perrito has his head stuck out the side of the cart to let his ears blow in the breeze, exactly as if he were in a modern car.
- When first opening the map and seeing it blank, Kitty angrily exclaims they’ve been ripped off and it’s not the real map, until words suddenly appear on its surface.Kitty: (embarrassed) Oh. Yeah, I knew it was gonna do that.
- Perrito admits that, while he's never had a name before, his previous owner would call him a multitude of things.Perrito: "Dog", "Bad Dog", "Stupid Dog", "Hey You!", "You There!", "Get Out!", "Leave It!", "Drop It!", "Big Rat", "Small Pig", "Rat Face", "Butt Nugget", "(bleep) for Brains". You know, that sort of thing.
- As Perrito goes through his list of "names" Puss can be seen with a deadpan expression and slightly moving his head to each of the names. Really gives the feeling Puss has heard Perrito tell him all about himself and just wants to get through it again.
- Puss does start to lose his apathetic face when Perrito gets to "Big Rat" probably thinking to himself "He never told me these ones."
- Kitty opens her eyes in shock when Perrito casually drops "(bleep for Brains)", as if to say "Did I just hear him say the s-word?" in what is a visual Big "WHAT?!".
- After the monologue, both cats are staring at Perrito with a concerned look.
- As Perrito goes through his list of "names" Puss can be seen with a deadpan expression and slightly moving his head to each of the names. Really gives the feeling Puss has heard Perrito tell him all about himself and just wants to get through it again.
- During the race to get to the Dark Forest, we get epic slow-motion closeups of all the major characters... and it finishes with Perrito, as he dramatically takes a bite of his sandwich.
- The contrast between the dark and scary outside of the Dark Forest and the colorful and cheery inside is sure to get a chuckle. Kitty even muses that she wished she had held her quinceañera there.
- Mix of Tear Jerker and this, but when Perrito tells the "funny story" of how his littermates would play Hide and No Seek and how his previous owners tied him up in an old sock stuffed with a rock and threw him in the river, Kitty and Puss' reactions are priceless. Also, as a bit of Black Comedy, his "sweater" is the sock that was used to drown him.Kitty: Wow... That's the saddest funny story I've ever heard.
- Mama Bear deriding Perrito's "Team Friendship" as a crap name.
- Perrito recounting his backstory to Puss and Kitty, and seems to be completely unaware that he’s swearing, leaving the two flabbergasted and shocked. Even the Bear Family go absolutely speechless when Perrito cheerfully swears at them when he thinks they're playing an insult game. And yes, the swears are bleeped out. His reaction gets extra humorous when you realize that it's coming from his voice actor, who is known for being a big potty mouth in most of his other cinematic roles.Papa Bear: (laughs) I like the cut of his jib.
- Baby's face during Perrito cuss storm is just priceless. It's like he's in utter disbelief he's hearing so many profanities from the little guy or that he's getting roasted even worse by him than he was by Goldi.
- The map changing the surroundings to test its user. When Puss or Kitty holds it, the area changes into deadly fields of death. But when Perrito tries it, he gets a "Pocket full of Posies" a "River of Relaxation" and even a "Simple and Easy Solutions" forest.Kitty: No fair. Why does he get the good ones?
- When Puss tries to use the old Puppy-Dog Eyes on Kitty, she responds with "You call that cute?" and produces big eyes of her own. The two proceed to try and out-cute one another, while Perrito enthusiastically comments. He then passes out due to the overload of cuteness, leading Puss to roll Perrito away with his foot so they could look at the map. Perrito later tries to do it himself, and fails horribly. Kitty warns him that he'll get a hernia while Puss is gloriously facepalming.
- Puss and Kitty try to brute force their way through the Pocketful of Posies, leading to them getting hilariously blocked off. Puss gets hit hard and is knocked on the ground being left gasping for air while Kitty is thrown so high she lets out a high-pitched, drawn-out, meow until she lands on the ground (on her feet).
- Perrito tells the two to appreciate the flowers and smell them. The two reluctantly comply.Puss: (humiliated) ... This is stupid.
Kitty: All I smell is bull—
Perrito: (putting his finger on her lips) Shhhh. (Kitty attempts to bite him) Watch. (sniffs the posies, making them free Puss and Kitty) - During the first chase to the Wishing Star, Jack Horner tries to pull out Excalibur from his bag twice, only for the sword to get stuck halfway through both times. When he finally gets it out the third time, it's revealed that Excalibur is still stuck on its stone, with Jack having simply unearthed it to get the sword. Because of this, he uses the sword more like a hammer, sending Goldi and the bears flying.Jack Horner: Behold, Excalib- (Excalibur gets stuck in the bag) Excalib- (yanks the sword again with the same result, until he finally pulls it out the next time) Excalibur! Yeah, I couldn't get this rock off of it, but still pretty cool, right?
- In the spirit of Black Comedy, the ways how the Baker's Dozen are progressively eliminated at the Pocketful of Posies are gruesomely hilarious:
- The first baker who dies prepares to chop down a giant posie, complete with a dramatic declaration, only to be Killed Mid-Sentence as the flower comes down over him and reduces him to a skeleton, with his axe being spit out and almost hitting Jack. Bonus points in that he was referring to the flower as a "Ficus Iyrata", a species of fig tree that has nothing to do with the flower.
- As their fight against the posies begins, one of the Bakers tries to fend them off by wielding a huge egg beater as a minigun while screaming (like Bill Duke in Predator) just before getting grabbed by them anyway. It's as awesome as it is hilarious.
- In the meantime, Jack pulls out what he believes is a magical locust, only revealed to be a talking cricket with no special abilities. Said cricket is named "Ethical Bug" in the credits, probably as a way to tiptoe around copyright claims from Disney as the depiction of the cricket as a talking conscience is a (Disney) Pinocchio original.Jack: I really did overpack.
- During Team Friendship's second confrontation with Jack, the villain fires a unicorn horn at Puss, misses, and hits one of his own minions in the butt.(Baker explodes like a party piñata)
Puss: (spits out confetti) WHAT?!?
Jack: (laughs) So that's what they do! Cool!
Ethical Bug: (horrified) No, not cool!- Another baker who comes for Puss gets speared in the shoulder by a stray horn, and yells at Jack, "Ah, you shot m-" before promptly exploding into confetti.
- The third baker who tries to reach Puss — and actually manages to pick him up by the scruff — gets a horn to the back, with Jack calling "My bad!" from offscreen. Puss, realizing what's about to happen, cringes and mutters "Oh, no..."
- The poor cricket's horrified reactions to Jack's casual sociopathy and disregard for everything, starting with Jack using the Phoenix as a flamethrower. He even unintentionally lights two of his own bakers on fire.Ethical Bug: I really have my work cut out for me on this one.
- When Jack is holding Perrito hostage:Ethical Bug: Y-Y-You're not gonna shoot a puppy, are you, Jack?
Jack Horner: (matter-of-factly) Yeah. In the face. Why?- In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment Jack Horner makes a hilariously annoyed face when he notices Ethical Bug chimming in.
- "You know, I'm starting to think you don't appreciate the value of a life."
- When muttering to himself that there’s good in everyone, he asks for Jack Horner's backstory. Jack sadly reminisces over "never having much as a kid". Just loving parents, stability, a mansion, and a thriving baked goods enterprise he inherited, "Useless crap like that." The cricket can only give an exasperated Facepalm.
- While this is happening, Jack is crossing a bridge made of his own minions. Not by, of. Then he signals for the carriage to cross the gorge, heedless of the fact that the bridge of people wouldn't be able to sustain its weight. Sure enough, the second the carriage rolls onto the bridge, the bakers lose their grip of each other, and all but one of them plummet to their deaths. Jack's response?
- The pose the Ethical Bug makes shortly after this when he realizes there's no salvaging Jack Horner is also worth a laugh for how dramatic it is. Phoenix Wright would be proud. Horner's absolutely hilarious, cheerful, shit-eating grin while cricket gives his tirade is just the icing on the cake.Ethical Bug: Th-that was horrible! Your wish is horrible! You're horrible! You're an irredeemable monster!
Jack Horner: (mock surprise) Woah, woah! What took you so long, idiot?! - As Jack says this, he flicks the Ethical Bug away, and if you look closely enough, you can see that it was strong enough to knock off one of his legs and a wing, which he then casually brushes off his shoulder.
- What makes all this funnier is that Jack could've gotten rid of the Ethical Bug at anytime, but he purposely waited until he crushed the Bug's beliefs that "Everyone has good inside them" to Troll him.
- When Jack is holding Perrito hostage:
- When Kitty "finds" Puss and Perito after Puss's panic attack, she reassures him that they'll get the map back, admitting that "we've been in worse pickles". Puss's response? "Who told you that name?!"
- When we see the moment when Goldi was adopted by the three bears, there's one humorous moment. When the bears find her sleeping in Baby's bed, baby starts to move on top of it to get a closer look at her before Mama pulls him off and motions for him to be quiet so not to disturb her, with Baby giving an annoyed look. This might even be where their Sibling Rivalry started. Some even wonder if Baby and Goldi had to share Baby's bed from now on, or if Baby was simply left with nowhere to sleep.
- Puss apologizes to Kitty for leaving her at the altar and says she deserves so much better. Kitty tries to interrupt him multiple times before finally telling him not to worry about it... because she didn't even show up either, leaving Puss confused and insulted. She then reveals that she wasn't sure if he could love her as much as he loves himself, to which Puss can't come up with a proper rebuttal.
- A classic twist of the Goldilocks fairy tale: Puss and Kitty are scrambling to reach the map amidst the Bears' disrupted cabin and find themselves on the dining table, surrounded by all three Bears... And three bowls of porridge which Kitty decides to utilize in an impromptu Dance Battler routine with Puss. Mama yelps and fans herself due to hers being "too hot," Baby's is "too cold" (he's not exaggerating, either, that porridge was frozen solid in the bowl) and he gets brain freeze, while Papa gets his right in the snout and is knocked backward into his floating armchair.Papa: (licks his lips and relaxes in his seat) Oh, that is just- (Goldi uses him as leverage to leap forward) RIGHT!
- When the landscape is floating in the air, stuck between Kitty and Goldi’s paths, Kitty and Puss dance on each other’s feet to reach the map up above. Goldi is bewildered.
- Goldi and Baby start insulting each other with Goldi calling him a "daft, fat, slow-thinking, no-reading, Lyme-diseased, flea-ridden dingleberry bear".Baby: I haven't got dingleberries! Explanation (warning: squicky!)
Papa: (patting him) No, you do. You do have 'em. - After Puss gets trapped in the Cave of Lost Souls, he meets his past lives projected onto giant crystals. He gets on pretty well with them until they start teasing him over how he's gone "soft" recently, at which point he calls them (and in effect, himself) out on their selfishness.Puss: You know what?! You guys are jerks! Which is very conflicting for me!
- A bit of dark humor follows when the Wolf suddenly shows up.Wolf: I do love the smell of fear. It's intoxicating.
Drunk Puss: It is?
(Wolf smashes him to pieces with an Offhand Backhand and without the slightest change of expression) - While it doesn't diminish the absolute horror of the situation when the Wolf reveals he's actually Death to Puss, there's something oddly chuckle-worthy about the way he has to clarify that he isn't some sort of allegory for Death and is in fact the real deal. The rather exhausted and mildly annoyed tone almost implies he's had to go over this several times before, and the way the camera is framed makes it seem as though he’s clarifying to the audience as well.Puss: You are...
Wolf: Death. And I don't mean it metaphorically, or rhetorically, or (visibly rolls his eyes) poetically or theoretically or in any other fancy way. I'm Death. STRAIGHT. UP. - Overall, there's something darkly funny about the idea that Puss laughed at death so much Death itself got sick of his shenanigans and decided to start gunning for him directly. Hell, considering how often the Wolf brings the "laughs in the face of death" part up, one gets the sense he was actually personally offended by Puss constantly taunting him.
- The Wolf offhandedly states that he's not a cat person. Considering his species, that's a literal given.
- When the Wolf tells Puss he’ll just kill him now since he’s already squandered his other eight lives, Puss' second life, who cheated at gambling earlier on in the film, calls him out on it, saying, "That's cheating!" He gets a sickle tossed into his crystal in response.Wolf: (puts a finger to his lips) Shh, don't tell. (the crystal shatters)
- A bit of dark humor follows when the Wolf suddenly shows up.
- Baby Bear has been talking about how he wants a purple suit like Jack Horner’s for the majority of the movie, which he phrases to the latter as a threat during the battle on the Wishing Star.Baby Bear: Oi, I’m gonna bust you up, plum-thumb! Then I’m gonna wear your clothes!
Jack Horner: (nonplussed) That was weird. (blasts Baby with his wizard staff) - As Jack reaches for his bag while declaring they should "bury the hatchet" and pulls one out, Kitty kicks him into the bag.Jack Horner: Aww, I shouldn't have telegraphed it!
- During Puss's fight with Death, Puss is disarmed, again. At this point, Death doesn't even bother to give Puss's weapon back and proceeds with eliminating him for good.Death: (amused) You really got to stop losing that.
- When Puss and Death have their final staredown, Death finally realizes that Puss has indeed changed his outlook in life. He suddenly smacks the ground and turns away while ranting in Spanish much to Puss' confusion. His voice also sounds higher for a moment during his tirade before eventually going back to his baritone. Puss' subdued reaction to it adds to the irony, as he leans to the side to witness the reaction and has a look of "Do you need a minute?" on his face.Death: (growls angrily at Puss, then yells in frustration and turns, smacking his sickles together) ¡¿Por qué diablos fui a jugar con mi comida?! (Translation: Why the hell did I go play with my food?!) You're ruining this for me!
- After the fight with Death, Kitty comes back to greet Puss, being understandably stunned that Puss was being literal when he said that Death was after him.Kitty: You know, when you said that Death was after you...I thought you were just being melodramatic!
- When Jack emerges from his bag as a giant after eating the magic cookie.
- In order to distract Giant Jack, Perrito finally manages to pull off Puss's "big eyes" routine. And he gets a nosebleed from trying.Jack Horner: It's so cute...how you think that would work on me! Don't you know I'm dead inside? By the way, your nose is bleeding.
- In the final battle against Jack, Puss and Kitty perform the same Spanish Splinter move together on him as Puss did with the giant at the start. The Bears respond with the exact same collective cringe as the spectators did.
- Jack's final words as the Wishing Star collapses under him. Bonus points for him sticking his thumb into the imploding star in a Shout-Out to not only his original nursery rhyme, but also Terminator 2.Jack: WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?! [everyone glares at him incredulously] I MEAN, WHAT SPECIFICALLY?!
- The Bears and Goldi walk off to probably take over Jack Horner's business, with the Ethical Bug appearing to teach them "ethical business practices". Baby freaks out and tells Goldi to get the bug off his nose.Goldi: (holding up her staff) Hold still...
Baby: Hey, wait, no! (gets whacked on the head) Ow! - Puss's new team's first job goes off well, save for the fact that the wanted poster calls them Team Friendship. Puss and Kitty are obviously annoyed by this while Perrito tells them tough luck and that it's official. Funnier, is how Kitty proclaims that "Team Friendship" makes them look ridiculous, while she and Puss are wearing the governor's (ridiculous) wigs.
- For a split second at the end, the Governor's beleaguered assistant can be seen smiling delightedly when she sees that his ship has been stolen by Team Friendship.
