Added DiffLines:

* Ted constantly letting slip to a suicidal priest that he owes Ted 20 quid.
* Mrs Doyle cutting Father Jack's nails. They fly around the room like shrapnel and even shatter Father Buzz's glass.
* Buzz is trying to gee up Ted after a Mass like a manager and boxer during a fight.
-->'''Buzz:''' I know they're gonna love ya in the States, Ted. You put on a show! But remember, it's a competitive market! You'll be up against Billy Graham and those Nation of Islam guys! You gotta get your own inch, you gotta grab 'em! You know where to grab 'em?
-->'''Ted:''' Yeah, by the balls!
-->'''Buzz:''' I was gonna say by the shoulders...


Added DiffLines:

* When Ted tells Dougal that he has been asked to go and work in America, Dougal replies "Really? As what?"
* Ted can't bring himself to tell Dougal, Mrs Doyle and Father Jack that they are not coming to America but cannot bring himself to do so - he imagines them as a puppy dog in a cardigan, a little girl in a dress and a kindly singing grandfather respectively.
* After all the fuss the other parochial house members made about going to America, none seem particularly fussed when Ted changes his mind. Dougal even says he didn't even really want to go.

* Ted and Dougal are searching for Jack at St. Clobbert's home for retired priests. Dougal switches on the light in the sitting room -- and he and Ted learn the hard way that every single priest there has Jack's NoIndoorVoice catchphrases, as they all begin bellowing, "DRINK! FECK! ARSE! GIRLS!" When one of the nuns on the staff runs over to see what the noise is, Ted and Dougal "[[PaperThinDisguise disguise]]" themselves by finding some empty space on a sofa and joining in the chorus of "DRINK! FECK! ARSE! GIRLS!" -- Dougal, naturally, continues shouting even after the lights are switched off again.

* The broadcast of the interview itself is another classic. Dougal, identified by a caption as "Father Ted Crilly", tells the camera [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} he's not sure if God really exists and doesn't go much for the whole organised religion thing, and then begins relating the wonders of the spider baby]], all while the real Ted is taken away in an ambulance in the background - and is half-mummified by plaster casts and bandages next to Dougal and Mrs. Doyle as he watches the programme. Then Jack wakes up and sees Dougal's face on the television.

He then re-emerges, pretending to have just relieved himself, and the bishop pushes him aside and enters the room - and realises there is no toilet in there.

Then later, he applies the "always give them what they want - it's easier in the long run" line - but it turns out she really likes ''the priests' house.''

* In the pre-credits teaser, Ted and Dougal settle down to watch their favourite sitcom: ''Father Ben'', an exaggerated [[ShowWithinAShow in-universe equivalent]] of ''Father Ted''. Dougal chuckles over what an idiot Father Brendan is as he watches him walk into the room with his shorts on his head, and Ted says he knows someone just like that thicko Father Ben[[note]] who is played by [[CreatorCameo Arthur Mathews]][[/note]]... [[SelfDeprecation neither noticing how much those characters are just like the two of them.]]

* Ted is hit on the head with rolled-up paper and looks back to see another priest laughing. When this keeps happening he goes to confront the priest he thinks is doing it - who is blind and was laughing at comedy on his headphones. As Ted sheepishly returns to his seat, two nuns throw a ball of paper at him and cackle like a pair of schoolgirls.
* As the passengers discuss who should be given the two parachutes to escape the possibly doomed aircraft, Father Jack sneaks away with both of them. One for himself... and one for the drinks trolley. In the credits, we then see both of the parachutes are caught in a tree in the middle of nowhere, [[LaserGuidedKarma with the drinks trolley perched just out of a furious and hysterically-sobbing Jack's reach.]]

** The blind priest is listening to Series/MrBean, famous for being entirely visual comedy.
