  • Everything Libby does while in Boltie mode is just hysterical. "AND NOW YOUR LEGS ARE GONE!" "IT'S CALLED INTERNAL BLEEDING FUCKER, NOW YOU'RE GONNA DIE!" Not to mention her outrageous fighting prowess she shows off to Frank, consisting of clumsy cartwheels, a weak hand stand, and a few kicks in the air.
    • "YOU TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW THAT ANY TIME SOME STUPID FUCKING BASTARD DECIDES TO COMMIT SOME GAY-ASS CRIME, THE CRIMSON BOLT AND BOLTIE ARE GONNA SMASH THEIR FUCKIN' HEADS IN!"note 
  • The Holy Avenger, be it his show or Frank's hallucinations. If you've seen Bibleman, it's especially hilarious.
    • Demonswill, the show's villain (played by James Gunn, no less) constantly waggling his tongue in every scene he's in.
  • "Crimson Bolt's Journal, Night Two. There was no crime last night. I did, however, see some suspicious characters who might have been planning somethi... HOLD ON! (...) It was just a box. The wind was pushing it down the street."
    • "I'll pick it up later!"
  • "Shut Up, crime."
  • At the end of the montage of his more successful superhero outings, Frank runs to his car after attempting a Smoke Out (which only confuses the hoodlums because it makes very little smoke) accidentally drops his wrench to the ground and has to clumsily stop and pick it up before driving away laughing victoriously.
  • Crimson flying over and going completely house on the line-cutter with his wrench was funny, in that Marcellus Wallace-shooting-wildly-and-hitting-random-people-after-being-hit-by-a-car sort of way. Which is to say possibly not at all funny, depending on the audience.
  • Frank trying to get Libby to leave him alone before she figures out he's the Crimson Bolt.
    Frank: I got a lot of work to do. We're really busy right now. [cut to view of the empty cafe]
  • The gun sale montage, and Libby testing out a pink rifle before Frank yanks it out of her hands...and hands her a rocket launcher.
    • The visual gags in that scene are great all around—for example, the regular customer whose expression goes from "Who the hell are these people" to "Right on!" as Frank and Libby fill their cart with boxes of ammo, and the bit where another customer shoves past Libby and she pulls what appears to be a cutlass on him.
  • Jacques' lampshading of the entire movie's premise:
    Hey, come on, it's just this crazy guy! I mean, it's funny! ...Right, Abe?
  • The mere fact that this movie apparently takes place in the same universe as Brightburn is ridiculously hilarious due to how out-of-place the dark comedic tone of this movie is with the serious horror atmosphere of Brightburn.
  • Boltie using "Gay" and "Cocksucker" as insults has a level of irony when considering that she was portrayed by a pre-op Elliot Page who at the time identified as a Lesbian.
