* When David Duke is talking about how a leading computer scientist has "conclusively proven" that white people have the "blood of a superior race" and that it is an undisputed fact, you can see Flip standing next to him casting subtle glances in his direction that say "''Is this guy for real?''"

* Philip (undercover as Ron Stallworth) goes to a Klan gathering at Felix's house. Felix, suspecting Philip of being Jewish, takes him into the back room and forces him at gunpoint to take a polygraph test. When he refuses, Felix tries to aggravate Philip by claiming that the Holocaust never happened and that Jews made it up. Philip, who is actually Jewish, immediately attempts to one-up Felix by stating not only does he believe the Holocaust was real, but that it was ''the most beautiful thing ever.''

** Before that, the dead silence that the room lapses into, broken only by the slow ''screech-screech-screeeeeeeeEEEECH'' of Flip's chair as he turns around in disbelief, his feet moving maybe an inch or two at a time. It's somehow way more funnier than if he had wheeled around in a dramatic double-take.

* When Ron tells the sergeant about a Klan meeting being set up, he simply tells Ron "You probably shouldn't go to that."
* Ron is assigned to be the police security detail to protect David Duke as he visits the town. As he prepares to leave he asks to get a Polaroid with him regardless of disagreeing with his stance. They end up asking "Ron" (Phillip) to take the picture, and on the count of three he surprises Duke and Walter by putting his arms around them, with the resulting picture showing them both as extremely uncomfortable. Later on, Phillip chastises him for the audacity, saying he "nearly shit myself" when he did it. Even funnier is that apparently this picture was real.
* During his first phone conversation with Duke, Ron gets everyone's attention due to using the n-word, declaring his hatred of black people, and weaving a story about his Aryan sister being touched by a black man. When he hangs up, the first words out of Zimmerman's mouth are "Did I just hear you use your real name?" Even before giving a verbal response, Ron's expression is one of 'Aw, man, he's right, I did just screw up.'

* The phone conversation where Ron asks Duke how he knows if he's speaking to a white or black man. Duke says he believes Ron is a white man because of how he pronounces his R's and then going into an example of how he thinks black people pronounce their R's. Ron's reaction is what sells it.
