YMMV: Johnny English
  • Ear Worm: The ending credit theme, A Man For All Seasons. Doubles as Awesome Music.
  • Moment Of Awesome
    Archbishop of Canterbury: And do you the chosen Bishops of England, Wales and Scotland assent to this anointment?
    Scottish Bishop: For Scotland I do.
    Welsh Bishop: For Wales I do.
    Johnny English (disguised as English bishop): For England—(removes bishop disguise)—I DO NOT!
    • In the sequel, there's:
      • The chase scene in Hong Kong, and the fight scene that followed.
      • The entire wheelchair sequence, mainly since Johnny managed to outrun every agent the British government could throw at him using a hi-speed wheelchair.
      • And finally, everything following Johnny's Disney Death all the way to him blowing up Ambrose.
  • Nightmare Fuel / Hell Is That Noise: In-universe, sort of; in the second movie, halfway, Johnny English gets nervous upon hearing a vacuum cleaner (fear caused by a cleaning old lady, no less).
  • Unfortunate Implications: In the sequel. Upon seeing that he's been assigned a black dude for a partner, Johnny says "well, it'll be nice to have someone to carry the bags." It probably made it through since the next thing he does is eat something he really shouldn't.
    • Considering Johnny's otherwise lack of any apparent racism at all (except a slight irritation at the thought of being killed by the Swiss), his comment may have been about Tucker's lack of age (and therefore useful experience), rather than his race.
      • As an English film, where racism is nowhere near as much of an issue as it in in America, this wouldn't even have caused a blip on most people's radars.
