* As Rasputin sinks into the ice, he yells out for Bartok, who lands nearby, and... just stands there totally confused, as if to say, [[NowWhat "Okay, what the heck do I do now?"]]



* Before they meet Anya, Dimitri and Vlad are holding an audition for girls to play Anastasia. [[https://youtu.be/bnocQK8t_so One prospect]] is a [[WhiteDwarfStarlet middle-aged woman]] with a fur coat and cigarette who takes a huge deep raspy breath, drops her huge fur coat theatrically, and says in a [[Creator/MarleneDietrich deep sultry voice]], "Grandma! It's me, Ana-''STASIA!''" Complete with a burlesque hip-bump and a rimshot. Their reaction is a combination HeadDesk and FacePalm.
* Some Fridge Funny for the "Once Upon A December" sequence. As Anya is only imagining the palace restored to its former glory, and the dancing, there's a shot of Pooka looking confused as she dances around. So she was essentially dancing that whole thing with Pooka watching her, wondering what the hell she was doing. And had Dimitri and Vlad come in ten seconds earlier, they would have seen her acting it out.
* Anya gets a fantastic line when Dimitri is looking up and down after first meeting her.
--> "Why are you circling me? Were you a vulture in another life?"
* "Three... two... one..." "DIMITRI!" ''({{Fistpump}})''
* Rasputin's BodyHorror when he first resurrects:
--> ''Rasputin's eyeball falls out and lands in Bartok's hands.''
--> '''Bartok:''' Oh. Uh... [[NarratingTheObvious That fell right out, sir]].



* The following:
-->''(Anastasia has left the train cabin after an argument with Dimitri.)''\\
'''Vlad:''' ''(gleefully to [[HeroesLoveDogs Pooka]], Anastasia's dog)'' Oh no! An unspoken attraction?\\
'''Dimitri:''' ATTRACTION?! To that skinny little brat? Have you lost your mind?!
* On the train, Vlad has just finished forging passports in blue ink when he overhears a conversation that passports are now made in RED ink;
-->'''Vlad:''' That's what I hate about this new government--everything's in red!



** And the end, where Anya accidentally smacks an injured Dimitri in the face and then [[TheGlomp glomps]] him out of the happiness of seeing that he's still alive. ([[Heartwarming/{{Anastasia}} Also a heartwarming moment.]])



* Rasputin's freak outs when both his plans to kill Anya fail.
** Just about every scene between Rasputin and Bartok is guaranteed to have some amusing moment during their banter.



* This moment in "Learn to Do It":
-->'''Anya:''' And I recall his yellow cat…\\
'''Vlad:''' I don't believe we told her that. *exchanges an AsideGlance with Dimitri*
* A FunnyBackgroundEvent during "Learn To Do It": Dimitri on the bike.

** In the Creator/TakarazukaRevue production, one of the Anastasias gives an even ''less'' convincing performance than the ones on Broadway. She shrieks her lines, waves her arms wildly, then flings herself to the floor. [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zuka_anastasia.png Dmitry's reaction]] is priceless.

* You got to admit that the scene on the train in which Vlad is keeping score of Anya vs Dimitri and Anya is winning by a LOT has to give you at least a chuckle. If one were to count the score, it's "Dimitri: 3 vs. Anya: 30."
