* Paul Zerdin's performances are consistently VERY funny, but his most hilarious by far was the semifinals when he turned Howie Mandel into his own ventriloquist dummy! Via the use of a remotely-controlled mask, he even left the stage to [[HilarityEnsues take Howie's spot at the judging panel]] and critique his... "dancing".

* In Season 9, the show's teasers before the commercial built up a bad mime that would confront the judges at the desk prompting Howie to call security. Come the act, he wasn't very good, got four [=Xs=], and was booed. He then began to yell at the audience and insult the judges before angrily coming down to the desk to confront them. [[spoiler:At which point it turned out to be host Nick Cannon playing a joke]]. The judges couldn't stop laughing.

* Taylor Williamson's continuous banter with Heidi, stemming from her remark that his jokes weren't "family material".
** He combated this by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bI028HAfFvk making a set with cheesy child-friendly jokes in his semifinals performance]]...except for the ending.
** After rehashing yet revamping an old zoo joke that involved Heidi in his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeth7Ie901c top 6 performance]], he says that he thought Heidi would enjoy that since she was married to a Music/{{Seal}}. Everyone's reaction is priceless, especially hers.

* Two guys start performing "I Gotta Feeling" and aren't good resulting in the audience booing and despite the judges hitting their buzzers, they got no X's. Maintenance had to stop the act, turns out the reason the buzzers weren't working was because Mel B had unplugged them to charge her phone.

Field comes on stage wearing a giant baby costume with a hat and a large pacifier hanging around his neck, after the show kept showing teasing clips of him in costume beforehand. Turns out he's a singer, and a legitimate one; the costume was just to get attention and make himself memorable to the judges.
