Funny / The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause

• This bit when Carol is being rushed to the Elfirmiry for her supposed labor:
  Scott: Curtis, the baby's coming!
  Curtis: Cocoa, the baby's coming!
  Cocoa: Mrs. Claus, the baby's coming!
  Carol: I KNOW!!!
• During the rush to the Elfirmiry, Carol's gurney barely misses a passing pane of stained glass, followed by two elves tripping and spilling a shipment of bouncy balls, one of which gets smacked away by Carol.
• After the reveal it was a false alarm:
  Girl elf: Again?! I stopped a pedicure for this?!
• The scrolling screen in the workshop reading "378 years without an accident", despite the fact four years earlier, Toy Santa almost ruined Christmas.
• The duck that quacks three languages:
  Duck: El ducko says quacko! Le duck says quack! Il duck-e say quack-e!
  Carol: Things can't help me now, sweetheart. (leaves)
  Duck: Ey, come back-e!
• Curtis going full Motor Mouth when describing the dire consequences of exposing the Secret of Santa.
  Curtis: The possibilities increase exponentially that the closely guarded secret of the North Pole's true location could be compromised, AND Christmas as we know it would cease to exist, crushing the hopes and dreams of the world's children, and extinguishing the joy of Santa's magic FOREVER!
• Highlights during the council meeting:
  • When fist-bumping some of the Legendary Figures, Scott addresses the Tooth Fairy as "Molar-nator" (the name he suggested in The Santa Clause 2). And when he gets to Sandy who is dozing off as usual, he fist-bumps Curtis for him.
  • The wacky standee of Jack Frost presented by Mother Nature; she found 270 of them in various northwest shopping malls.
  • Mother Nature slams her gavel to wake Sandy with a start. Immediately after, the Easter Bunny makes fun of Cupid's toga by calling it a skirt, followed by Mother Nature silencing him as well.
  • Jack Frost's first scene, which in turn establishes him as a Large Ham:
    Frost: Now that's what I'm talking about! You love it. Am I right? You guys finally woke up and are giving me my own holiday. Frostmas! Of course, i-i-it's just a placeholder. I'm wide open. Frostgiving, the Frost of July, Frosthog Day... I mean the possibilities are endless!
  • The Legendary Figures shunning Frost for his actions:
    Father Time: Frost, You herald the season. You're not a holiday.
    Tooth Fairy: You're the best friend, not the leading man.
    Easter Bunny: And you kill fruit!
• The Millers, especially Neil, successfully guilt-tripping Scott into letting them visit the North Pole.
• Bud and Sylvia's long-winded story about their trip to Yosemite, which in turn bores Sandy to the point he casts his Forced Sleep on them earlier than Scott planned. Then Sandy falls asleep himself seconds later, meaning Scott has to drag three sleeping people to the car.
• One in the bloopers:
  Santa: Look, I'm not gonna...evoke?
  Producer: Invoke.
  Santa: Hm.
  (bleep)
  Santa: Look, I'm not gonna evoke-
  Producer: INVOKE!!
  Santa: (chuckles) Easy!
  (bleep)
  Santa: I'm not gonna invoke...
  (Beat, before the crew bursts into laughter)
  • The best part is the Rewatch Bonus. If the DVD subtitles are to be believed, Tim still ends up saying evoke in the final cut.
• Sylvia being uncomfortable about Scott and Carol’s closeness to the Miller family, given that Scott and Laura are ex-spouses who share a son.
