  • In particular, at the conclusion of Wolf's trial, the judge proclaims: "We've heard the evidence, most of it quite ridiculous." An outraged Wolf takes umbrage at the "most" and snaps: "Some of it!"
  • Wolf hiding under Virginia's grandmother's covers and trying to impersonate her voice in a blatant Shout-Out to Little Red Riding Hood.
  • After Tony gets a temporary Midas Touch, he uses it right when the trolls capture Wendell and makes a Good News, Bad News announcement to reveal what happened. He stopped the trolls, but he needs a chisel to separate the trolls' hands from Wendell's body after he turned all of them to gold and they are frozen together.
  • Wolf throws a stick for dog-form Wendell, who's currently frozen as a golden statue.
    Tony: "That's not funny."
    Wolf: "...it'll get funnier if we keep doing it."
  • The vast majority of Tony's lines, as he has a tendency to lampshade things that the fairy tale characters do or say in a particularly snarky manner.
    Tony: What is it with you people? What kind of twisted upbringing did you have? You know, why can't you just say, "Oh, that'll be a hundred gold coins"? Why does it always have to be, "No! Not unless you lay a magic egg! Or count the hairs on that giant's ass!"?
  • Wendell gets one when he and Virginia stay at her grandmother's apartment. Roland, the grandmother's poodle, barks at him continuously for a few minutes before Wendell knocks him out by hitting him on the head.
  • Virginia hitting Wolf over the head with the vase at her grandmother's apartment when he tried to kiss her.
    • He just breaks out a big grin after she does this.
    • And after she hits him in the crotch with a broom and knocks him out the window, he just lies there with the biggest dopey grin on his face. Apparently Wolf is quite the Amazon Chaser.
  • During the Red Riding Hood scene at Grandma's apartment:
    Wolf: (speaking of the meat cleaver in his hand) Oh, no! How did this get here?
  • When they go back to rescue Tony from the prison:
    Wolf: Okay, how about, I wear the shoes, and then you touch me, 'cause if you're touching me we'll both be invisible.
    Virginia: No way. You're lying, you just want the shoes for yourself! (Actually just about any scene with people high on the Addictive Magic of the shoes is hilarious.)
  • When the heroes are Storming the Castle and encounter the Knights and Knaves:
    Tony: What is the point of having a door with a horrible death behind it? WHAT DOES THAT ACHIEVE? (throws frog through door)
    (BOOM)
    Wolf: I guess it's the other door.
  • As she goes to chase after the dog Wendell:
    Blabberwort: He can't escape, we're in a prison!
    • Would that be Insane Troll Logic? Actually a lot of the Trolls' lines would count as that, particularly when they're stuck in the elevator and Burly rejects Bluebell's idea that they were shrunk by Virginia and put in a matchbox in her pocket with "How can we be in a matchbox—where are all the matches?"
  • Virginia panicking about what the long hair will do if it doesn't stop growing.
    "I'm gonna die of long hair!"
  • At the Huntsman's treehouse:
    Wolf: I've always wanted to say this...'Love of my life, let down your lustrous locks!
    (Virginia throws her long hair down at him, hitting him right in the face)

    (As he's climbing)
    Wolf: Look out below, close your eyes!
    Tony: What is it?
    Wolf: Dandruff!
    Virginia: I do not have—

    (And a bit later)
    Wolf: I've just found another gray one!
    (Virginia growls)
  • Wolf's description of how he wants his lamb prepared at the restaurant:
    "No, no! 'Rare' implies dangerously cooked. When I say 'rare' I mean just let it look at the oven in terror, then bring it out to me."
  • "Rush a torture, ruin a torture."
  • The Troll King momentarily intrigued when his children describe a "deadly fever that only strikes on Saturdays."
  • Anything with the Village Idiot.
    Tony It's no use, the man is a complete idiot.
    Idiot If only! Now my father, he was a complete idiot. I'm still a half-wit!
    (later, after the magic wishing water starts shooting from the well) "FINALLY! I am a complete idiot!!!"
  • Although the rest of the scene swings from sad to creepy, Tony singing "A Whiter Shade of Pale" while having a Mushroom Samba. Especially when the mushrooms start doing the backing vocals.
