Technically, the whole movie is So Bad, It's Good. However, for a few specifics...
- The excessively narmy voice acting at some points is incredibly funny, and makes serious moments be difficult to take seriously; even Lily's Disney Death is considered ridiculous when the children sound like they don't care. In fact, her brother continues calling for her like he's trying to politely get her attention. You know, instead of screaming and wailing her name in the hope that she's still alive.
- Mrs. Mavilda Chewing the Scenery as she fires Judy. Her voice is so shrill that it clips the microphone."Pack your things right NOW. You're FIRED!!!
- "Come, children, follow me. Another thing."
- "We've come from the mayor's." Said in the most flat, nasal voice that could come out of a human being.
- Mrs. Mavilda being electrocuted by the pine tree. It's so out of left field, and the animation only conveys the literal and figurative shock all too well...
- It was either Mrs. Hopewell the pine tree or Santa Claus, God of Thunder. Either way, Mrs. Mavilda changed her ways because she realized that otherwise she would get struck down by lightning.
- At one point, all the kids are cheering when the dog gets away, except for one kid who seems to just be nodding his head back and forth while sleeping.
- Ray's idea of a loving goodbye to the family he won't be seeing for weeks is to tell his wife to "Take good care of yourself and the children," and to tell the kids to "Be good." No hugs, nothing. Just... 'welp, gotta go chop trees, hope it all works out.' It's kind of hilarious in its utter weirdness.
- The mayor apparently considers "moneybags" as a legitimate form of payment.
- Judy's emotionless line of "Raaay..." as Ray comes onscreen from out of nowhere. And their reaction to hearing one of their children is very likely to have died is to slightly open their eyes in surprise for a brief moment.
- The moral of the story: "You always win when you are good." It's just randomly said at the end of the film and has almost nothing to do with anything that just happened.
- Additionally, the narrator's rather unconvincing-sounding, repeated insistence that Mrs. Mavilda is "going to be all right" and is "good now," trying but arguably failing to sound enthused when he states that she became Judy's assistant (with his "from what I heard..." also suggesting that he is personally unsure about whether that was her actual fate or not).
- Pappy states that he's not worried about his mother being framed for theft, losing her job, and almost certainly getting arrested, because "she can defend herself."
- This line from Mrs. Mavilda: "What a hangover!"
