History Funny / Cars3

* In the credits, there's a picture of Mater wearing one of his novelty hats and its a series of small vignettes of a happy Lightning and Cruz with an angry looking Storm. It's a monument of MonumentOfHumiliationAndDefeat in ''hat form''.

'''River:''' Did you hear what she said? (in a half whisper)\\

'''Jackson:''' (while leaving, ''in a passive aggressive tone'') I think you heard me. .

* In the Brazilian dub, [=McQueen=] watching the reel of Doc's crash is narrated by ESPN Brasil's resident LargeHam, with all his {{Catch Phrase}}s ("he's gonna doctrinate, like an alpha male!" "Not here, my dear!" "The CHAOOOOSSS!"). Subsequently, it's much funnier than in the original.* Whenever Sally accidentally refers to Lightning as "Stinky" rather than "Stickers", before she quickly corrects herself.

-->'''Lightning:''' I'm NOT taking a NAP! [Cue the GilliganCut]

* While racing Lightning on a beach, Cruz accidentally gets stuck in the sand.
-->'''Cruz:''' [''up to her eyes in sand''] The beach ate me.
** While on Fireball Beach, Lightning says "Life's a beach and then you drive" after Cruz worries that he'll fall over. Luigi and Guido need a moment before laughing.
** Cruz just can't get the training on the beach right. First, she's unable to start because she lacked traction due to trying too hard on the start, then she gets stuck on a dune, she ends up in the water and hit by a wave, she spins out of control on the shore, she gets half-buried in the sand, and finally, she suddendly stops because she didn't want to hit a crab. Lightning gets more and more annoyed with each fail over the course of the day, and Luigi loses his usual excitement, becoming more and more tired, almost like he's gonna fall asleep at any moment by the last two attempts we see. The look on his face sounds like he can't take anymore of this.
** [[ItMakesSenseInContext "And allll the little crabbies have gone night night."]]

* Lightning having a screen time conversation with Mater.
-->'''Mater:''' You know what I would do?\\
'''Lightning:''' What?\\
'''Mater:''' [{{Beat}}] I dunno. I got nothing.

* There's also a bit in the exclusive cut showing Lightning racing on a simulator, supervised by Cruz. [[EpicFail He doesn't seem to adjust to the virtual environment too well,]] and as if wrecking on the virtual track wasn't bad enough, [[ButtMonkey he goes ''launching into the projector screen'', full with a shot of his bumper sticking out of the newly created hole in the wall.]] This crash causes a power outage through out the whole training facility.
-->'''Lightning:''' TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF! GET THESE THINGS OFF OF ME! [''back wheel locks disconnect''] NOOOO! [''crashes into the screen'']\\
'''Simulator Voice:''' You have crashed! (repeats in the background)\\
'''Cruz:''' Are you alright?\\
'''Lightning:''' [[CaptainObvious I've crashed...]]
** [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Speed: ERROR mph]]
** This becomes even funnier when you realize [[TruthInTelevision real drivers sometimes have problems adjusting to simulation software,]] especially if [[HopelessWithTech they've never used a computer before.]]
** The fact that the creators of the simulator actually implemented a virtual backstage area - with vehicles - that Lightning subsequently tears through.
-->'''Simulator Voice:''' You have jumped a barrier. You have maimed two vehicles. You have destroyed a drinking fountain. You have disabled an ambulance. You are on fire. Danger. Danger. You are going the wrong way.

* The RunningGag of Mater showing up to watch the races with a HUGE novelty item on his head (or roof?), looking absolutely ''ridiculous!'' In the credits we see a picture of him wearing a huge one that acts as a MonumentOfHumiliationAndDefeat to Storm. There's even a pouting mini-Storm angry at mini-Cruz's victory.
* [[spoiler:Cruz]] visualizing the other cars as tractors during the final race.
* The pranks Lightning, Bobby Swift and Cal play on each other. Lighting gets sprayed with foam when he wins, and vows to get Cal back. When Cal wins, Guido over inflates his tires and ties Lightning character balloons to his back end.
-->'''Bobby Swift:''' [''laughing''] Congratulations cupcake! (while driving away with his pit crew)\\
'''Lightning:''' [''spits out foam''] Oh, they are gonna pay.
* Smokey tests Lighting's reflexes by having Guido throw bales of hay at him. Later they upgrade to heavier objects, like a motor and an anchor.
* Smokey and the racing legends telling [=McQueen=] that he is old and slow despite being well over 50 years older then him. It gets bad enough that Smokey asks Cruz to repeat that Lightning's old because he thinks he's losing his hearing. She shouts in his ear (we guess?) with [=McQueen's=] response being a flat [[DeadpanSnarker "I heard him."]].
* Cruz's motivational trash talk once she gets the modifications to be Lightning's sparing partner. Lightning and the racing legends reaction is priceless.
-->'''Cruz:''' Oh you're going down [=McQueen=]. Get that arthritis-riddled keister on to the track so I can put you into the old folks home against your will!... How's that?\\
'''Lightning:''' That'll work.\\
'''Louise:''' Worked for me.\\
'''River:''' I.. I'm good.\\
'''Junior:''' Yep, that'll do.\\
'''River:''' Did you hear what she said? (in a half whisper)\\

* Lightning [=McQueen's=] hilariously energetic apology to Cruz after their falling out. Basically, he adds his own lyrics to the workout song Cruz annoyed Lightning with, full with even more ridiculous dancing. All while Cruz is begging him to stop.
-->'''Lightning:''' First I going to loosen up these ancient joints... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I yelled. It wasn't your fault that I almost got killed. But now, you're leaving, and you won't get on the ramp! You won't get on the ramp! ''(Continues until they get to Thomasville)''
* Miss Fritter sounds like the name of your bus driver, which makes her reign of terror in demolition derby as a school bus hilarious. Also she's apparently a big fan of Lightning's. [[BlackComedy Keep in mind that Miss Fritter almost ram raided him for keeping her from sawing off Cruz's license plate and caused her to lose the demolition derby.]] Too bad that [=McQueen's=] possibly scared to death of her because of this. Though, in Miss Fritter's defense, she wasn't aware the car she was trying to ram was Lightning, due to him being covered in mud.
** Older fans may think the name "Miss Fritter" sounds familiar and oddly appropriate for a school bus. They may be thinking of Miss ''[[Literature/TheMagicSchoolBus Frizzle.]]''
** Alot of the trash talk in the demolition derby also is hilarious, especially when combined with a boatload of [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Funny Background Events.]]
--> '''00''': Nice day for a drive, eh!
--> '''Faregame''': Hey! Buddy! Get the [[SoundEffectBleep *HONK!*]] out of my way!
** This is even more hilarious due to the fact that it's "family night", which means no cursing.
* Even though the scene where Lightning [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech lashes out at Cruz]] is undoubtedly a serious moment, there is something [[CrossesTheLineTwice hilarious]] about the fact that he initially stood there in cold dead silence, stone-faced and all.
** Also, Guido and Luigi are behind him peeking at the argument, briefly look at each other, then close the curtains after.
** "And ''then'', [[ItMakesSenseInContext I waste tonight in the crosshairs of Miss Fritter]]!"
* Cruz commenting on Lightning's pre-race meditation prior to their beach race with a YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe look on [=McQueen's=] face.
* When Lightning is calling Mater via Videochat, he sticks his buck teeth at the camera and then leans so close that his eye fills the screen. Lightning lampshades this:
-->'''Lightning:''' [[VisualPun Looking you straight in the eye there, pal.]]

* Mater screaming and honking at the other racers telling them to be quiet so Lightning can focus at the beginning of the movie.
* Whenever Sally accidentally refers to Lightning as "Stinky" rather than "Stickers", before she quickly corrects herself.
* In the credits, there's a picture of Mater wearing one of his novelty hats and its a series of small vignettes of a happy Lightning and Cruz with an angry looking Storm. It's a monument of MonumentOfHumiliationAndDefeat in ''hat form''.
* In the Brazilian dub, [=McQueen=] watching the reel of Doc's crash is narrated by ESPN Brasil's resident LargeHam, with all his {{Catch Phrase}}s ("he's gonna doctrinate, like an alpha male!" "Not here, my dear!" "The CHAOOOOSSS!"). Subsequently, it's much funnier than in the original.

* Chick Hicks keep bragging about his one Piston Cup victory over Lightning even though he won that because after he purposefully wrecked "The King", Lightning choose to stop, let him win, and then go back to push "The King" Weathers to the finish line to make a point. Even his own cameraman is unimpressed.
** Just the fact that Chick Hicks is still able to stay on the spotlight despite what he's done is amusing in of itself. It kinda makes one wonder how he even got on TV in the first place...
* How Jackson Storm is introduced:
-->'''Lightning:''' Okay, let's see what you've got!
-->''(Immediately after he says this, Jackson ironically appears out of nowhere, overtakes the other racers and wins.)''
* Some scenes from the closing credits are sure to crack the audience up:
** Cruz receiving the "inflatable tires" prank from two of the next-gens, while Lightning laughs at this.
** Mater playing checkers with the dummy he made earlier.
** Mater trying on the electronic suit, which doesn't suit him well, as Lightning gives a half-sarcastic laugh in the background.
* [[MotorMouth QuickerthanquickfasterthanfastIamspeed!]][[note]]Quicker than quick, faster than fast, I am speed![[/note]]

* Cruz using Hamilton to mess with Storm after Lightning helps her regain hope.

* During TheBigRace, after Lightning swaps out with Cruz and she's trying to get into the mindset of the race, Smokey tries to get her to pay attention but fails. Then Lightning tells him what to say to her to get through to her. [[ICantBelieveImSayingThis The nature of the lines is clearly so strange to Smokey]] that after just a few lines like this, he finally gives up and tells Lightning he's not saying it. It marks the moment Lightning becomes the crew chief, but it's still hilarious seeing the old truck looking so utterly puzzled.
* Guido's opinion about the press:
-->"Paparazzi, pfft!"

** While on Fireball Beach Lightning says "Life's a beach and then you drive" after Cruz worries that he'll fall over. Luigi and Guido need a moment before laughing.

--> '''00''':Nice day for a drive, eh!
--> '''Faregame''':Hey! Buddy! Get the [[SoundEffectBleep *HONK!*]] out of my way!

** "And allll the little crabbies have gone night night."

'''Mater:''' ...I dunno. I got nothing.

-->'''Lightning:''' TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF! GET THESE THINGS OFF OF ME! [''back wheel locks disconnect''] NOOOO! [''slams into the screen'']\\

'''Lightning:''' I've crashed...

* Smokey and the racing legends telling [=McQueen=] that he is old and slow despite being well over 50 years older then him. It gets bad enough that Smokey asks Cruz to repeat that Lightning's old because he thinks he's losing his hearing. She shouts in his ear(?) with [=McQueen's=] response being a flat [[DeadpanSnarker "I heard him."]].

** The next day, Cruz puts Lightning on a rotary lift and is tilted downwards to help with oil flow (which might be a car's equivalent to inversion therapy). He doesn't take to it well and appears uncomfortable. And to add insult to injury, she slides a drip pan underneath him [[CrazyPrepared just in case]] [[ToiletHumor he well... leaks]].

'''Lightning:''' [[BerserkButton YES IT DOES!]][[note]] Brian Fee admits in an interview that this particular performance is of Owen Wilson snapping at him for repeatedly saying "Does this make you mad?" about ten times.[[/note]]\\

'''Cleaner:''' Said, floor's all washed up! We're clean!\\

--> '''Taxi Racer''':Hey! Buddy! Get the [[SoundEffectBleep *HONK!*]] out of my way!

* Cruz whole conversation with [=McQueen=] about how [[TheGadfly he can use anything negative to motivate him to push towards the positive. She does this by egging [=McQueen=] on about his age and implying he was an imposter when first seeing him]]. And to top it all off; Cruz calls him her '''senior project''' with [=McQueen=]'s response being a flabbergasted "did I just get insulted?" expression on his face.

** While on Fireball Beach Lightning says "Life's a beach and then you drive" after Cruz worries that he'll fall over. Luigi and Guido [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar need a moment]] before laughing.

** Which is even more hilarious to the fact that it's "family night", which means no cursing.

** Which is even more hilarious to the fact that it's "family night", and one of the rules is no cursing.

'''Lightning:''' I've crashed...\\

-->''([[DescriptionCut Immediately after he says this, Jackson appears out of nowhere, overtakes the other racers and wins.]])''

* [[http://roadside-assistance.tumblr.com/post/160556328090/ok-guys-i-drew-humanized-miss-fritter Someone on tumblr]] did their take on what a human version of Ms. Fritter would look like. [[spoiler: It's Ms. Crabtree from ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'']].

** Lightning later finds himself on a treadmill that's only going 5 miles per hour while the next gens next to him are going there full speed. The reason for this is because Cruz wants him to take a nap afterwords. This no doubt made the next gens start laughing while leaving [=McQueen=] annoyed and embarrassed.

-->'''Cruz:''' Oh you're going down [=McQueen=]. Get that arthritis redialed keister on to the track so I can put you into the old folks home against your will!... How's that?\\

'''Lightning:''' [''spits out foam''] They are gonna pay.
