!!The Terminator

* The amused punks teasing the T-800 in the beginning: "Nice night for a walk" "Wash day tomorrow, nothing clean, eh?", before it turns into MoodWhiplash.
* The T-800's DialogueTree options to respond to the landlord complaining about the smell:
--> '''The Terminator''': Fuck you, asshole.
** And shortly afterwards, the T-800 leaves his apartment in his [[HellbentForLeather iconic]] [[CoolShades get-up]] and an assault rifle in one hand, prompting this reaction from an on-looker:
--> '''On-looker''': [[OhCrap God daaaaamn!]]
* Minor one, Sarah's friend Matt calls her thinking his girlfriend Ginger (who lives with Sarah) and has Phone Sex with her. Sarah decides to mess with him at first and then seriously asks who this is. Matt, clearly embarrassed politely asks for Ginger, to which Sarah obliges. Then when Ginger is on the phone he repeats the exact same following line in the exact same tone.
--> '''Matt:''' First I'm gonna rip the buttons of your blouse one by one.
* More HilariousInHindsight than due to the movie itself, but the cops in the police station rationalize that the terminator was just some "guy on PCP." Given that it's the standard excuse for vampire related antics on Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer, you start to wonder if the Sunnydale PD got some transfers...
* After [[spoiler: the T-800 has killed Reese and is crawling after a badly injured Sarah. She manages to crush it in a hydraulic press, but not before she says]] [[PreMortemOneLiner "You're terminated, fucker!"]]
* Silberman and Vukovich dickishly enjoy themselves too much during Resee's interrogation, but Silberman does produce several cracking lines: Skynet is attempting some sort of "retroactive abortion" and "why didn't you bring... ray guns"


!!Terminator 2

* "He's my Uncle Bob..."
** "Uncle Bob?"
* After John finds out [[spoiler: the terminator does whatever he says]] he asks him to stand on one leg. The scene follows with him standing on one leg whilst talking to some guys, until John quietly says "Put your leg down" out of the corner of his mouth.
** Seconded. He says it like such a ''mom'' to the tall robotic assassin.
* John makes the Terminator promise that it will not kill anyone. [[LiteralGenie The Terminator proceeds to shoot the guard in the kneecaps.]] "He'll live."
* Minor scene from T1, the phone booth scene. The guy says the ''Terminator'' has an attitude problem.
* "I need a vacation".
* As Sarah is breaking out of the hospital, the guards try to reason with her and insist she's not a killer. Sarah snaps back they as far as she's concerned they're all dead anyway and they know how strongly she believes it, "so don't fuck with me!"
* When they break into Cyberdyne:
--> '''John''': We got company. \\
'''Dyson''': Police? \\
'''Sarah''': How many? \\
'''John''': 'bout all of 'em, I think.
* John needs a dime:
--> '''John''': (in a phone booth) You got a quarter?\\
'''T-800''': (smashes bottom of payphone, quarters fall out)
* In the second movie, when the Connors are planning to flee to Mexico. The Terminator sees a baby, then picks it up and looks at it ''like he has no idea what it is''.
** [[FridgeHorror Maybe its never seen a live one before. After all, a war of genocide doesn't usually involve allowing for survivors, no matter the age.]]
* For all the tension in the scene, the T-1000's FingerWag is pretty darkly hilarious, especially combined with Sarah's facial expression. You can tell she's mentally going, "Seriously? ''Seriously''?"
** It's even homaged in the sequel - after [[ExorcistHead the T-X's head does a 360]] after being hit, she replies with a QuizzicalTilt and a reproving face. The Terminator's expression is a clear "OhCrap".

!!Terminator 3

* In ''T2'', the Terminator gets its leather clothes from a biker bar. In ''T3'', he does it in a strip club... with hilarious results.
-->'''T-850:''' Take off your clothes.\\
'''Gay biker:''' Patience, honey.\\
''(The Terminator walks up on stage, driving the bachelorettes wild)''\\
'''Gay biker:''' Hey bitch, wait your turn!\\
'''T-850:''' Give me your clothes.\\
'''Gay biker:''' Talk to the hand! ''(Terminator grabs it)'' AAAH!!\\
'''T-850:''' ''(talks to it)'' Please.\\
''(The Terminator walks out, fully clothes, with the bachelorettes wooing him)''
** Followed by the CallBack to the second film when the Terminator slowly pulls the shades out of the pocket of his jacket and slips them on... revealing them to be a [[CampGay sparkly pink pair with star-shaped frames]]. One {{Beat}} later he pulls them off, drops them on the ground and treads on them.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O-QqC9yM28 Talk to the hand]]".
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du66yIfizCk The song on the background]] too (the DVD even plays that in the HilariousOuttakes).
* When Kate finally gets her hands on a gun and points it at the T-850, who, of course, is not concerned. In a panic, Kate pulls the trigger. The T-850 spits the bullet out of its mouth (revealing completely unscratched teeth), much to Kate's horror. The T-850 then just says: "''Don't'' do that." and turns away.
* This scene:
-->'''T-850''': I am looking for John Connor.
-->'''Kate''': If I tell you where he is, will you let me go?
-->'''T-850''': Yes.
-->'''Kate''': He's in a cage in the back of the clinic. *T-850 begins to close the doors* Hey! You said you'd let me go!
-->'''T-850''': ILied. *shuts and locks the door*
** Which as a bonus, is quite possibly, a ShoutOut to a famous scene in ''Film/{{Commando}}'' with almost identical dialogue.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgYpcAAqiV8 The T-850's reveal of]] [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots installed human psychology]].
* Dr. Silberman, who was a psychiatrist in ''T1'' and head of the asylum Sarah Connor was put in in T2, is sent by the cops to calm Kate in the cemetery. The funny bit was when he tried to assure Kate that it was just her minds playing trick regarding the Terminator.... But the moment he saw that exact same Arnold face he saw years ago in T2, he immediately bailed, as if saying ''"OhNoNotAgain!"''.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kayFrIR-Qfw Sgt. Candy]], the origin of the Austrian-accented Terminator.
