!!''Home Alone 2''

!!''Home Alone 3''
* Alex is in the bathroom when he realizes he has chicken pox and screams. In her bedroom, Molly calls out, "[[GroinAttack Alex slammed the toilet seat on his thing]] [[NoodleIncident again]]!" Which Jack, on the phone downstairs, then gives as an excuse to hang up. If you listen closely, it sounds like the person he's talking to even lets out a noise of sympathy.
* After Alex's first call, the police arrive at the Stephens' house, yelling out "Freeze!" A dog then pauses in mid-step.
* Alice's [[ComedicUnderwearExposure pants ripping]] and the exchange that follows.
-->'''Alice:''' I need assistance. I'm exposed.\\
'''Beaupre:''' Maintain your position. Do not, I repeat, do not draw attention to yourself.
* Unger and Jernigan getting shocked by cutting live wires and sitting on an electrified chair respectively. Before cutting the wire, Unger says this.
-->'''Unger:''' It's been a long time since I was a kid. [[HypocriticalHumor You forget how incredibly stupid they are]].
* Unger sees Jernigan sitting on a broken toilet.
-->'''Unger:''' Are you almost done in there?\\
'''Jernigan:''' ''Don't''... start with me.\\
'''Unger:''' I'll wait.
* Alice sees Doris running up Jernigan's pant leg. She [[GroinAttack misses with her club]], giving Jernigan an InstantSoprano scream. And then there's what he says after that.
-->'''Jernigan:''' You smacked my winkie!\\
'''Alice:''' Well, if you changed your shorts once in a while, maybe you wouldn't have RATS in your pants!
* In Mrs. Hess's garage, Beaupre confronts Alex about the chip, but his plan goes awry when he finds out that he accidentally grabbed a dart gun instead of his real one:
-->'''Alex:''' ''That'' doesn't belong to you either.\\
'''Beaupre:''' What?\\
'''Alex:''' That's not your gun.\\
'''Beaupre:''' ''(fires dart gun)''\\
'''Alex:''' ''This'' is your gun. ''(points painted bubble gun at Beaupre)''\\
'''Beaupre:''' (backs away cautiously as Alex points painted bubble gun at him)\\
'''Alex:''' AH!\\
'''Beaupre:''' ''(screams and runs away in fear)''\\
'''Alex:''' Gotcha! ''(fires bubble gun)''
* When the police arrive during the climax to find Unger and Jernigan in the swimming pool:
-->'''Police officer:''' Freeze!\\
'''Unger:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe You gotta be kidding me.]]
* The final shots of the movie reveal that [[spoiler:[[LaserGuidedKarma all four villains contracted chicken pox from Alex]]]].
* Just the fact that the bad guys are supposed to be highly trained spies. So watching them fall for Alex's traps is absolutely hilarious.
* And when Beaupre hides out in an igloo packed with explosives, Alex's pet parrot shows up to light them, and Beaupre thinks he can use a cracker to convince the parrot otherwise. But he didn't realise this parrot has higher standards than your average parrot, as demonstrated earlier. "Double or nothin'!" [[OhCrap And Beaupre only had ONE cracker on him.]]

* A trailer for this movie uses a hilariously twisted version of "[[ChristmasSongs Deck the Halls]]", complete with FollowTheBouncingBall, over some of Harry and Marv's mishaps:
-->''Deck the halls with Marv and Harry. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)\\
Make their Christmas not-so-merry. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)\\
Give them bricks, and give them wrenches. (Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la la la!)\\
One more Christmas in the trenches. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)\\
\\
Toss some paint-cans (sic) down to greet them. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)\\
Send the toolbox down to meet them. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)\\
Serve them nails for Christmas dinner. (Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la la la!)\\
'''Marv:''' YEOW!!!!\\
Kevin is declared the winner. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)''\\
'''Harry:''' May I do the thinking, please?
* The hotel staff chases Kevin into his hotel suite, where Kevin suddenly puts on ''Angels with Even Filthier Souls'' and does a much more over the top version of his previous use of the movie on the pizza boy in the first film to slow them down:
-->'''Johnny:''' Hold it right there!\\
'''[[Creator/TimCurry Mr. Hector]]:''' This is the Concierge, ''sir''!\\
'''Johnny:''' I knew it was you. I could smell ya getting off the elevator! [...] You was here last night too, wasn't ya? ''[beat]''\\
'''Mr. Hector:''' ...Yes, sir. I was.\\
'''Johnny:''' You was here...and you was smoochin' with my brother!\\
'''Mr. Hector''' ''(taken aback)'' I... I'm afraid you're mistaken, sir.\\
'''Johnny:''' Don't gimme that. You been smoochin' with everybody! [[ReallyGetsAround Snuffy, Al, Leo, Little Moe with the gimpy leg, Cheeks, Bony Bob, Cliff]]...\\
'''Security Guard:''' ''(everyone looks to this guard, whose nametag just happens to reads "Cliff", he is shocked as everyone else. One of them also has an expression that basically says "Cliff, [[DirtyOldMan is it true?]]" while [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Cedric shakes his head with a "for shame" expression]])'' No! ''It's a lie!''\\
'''Johnny:''' I could go on forever, baby.\\
'''Mr. Hector:''' I'm terribly sorry, sir, but I'm afraid you're mistaken. We're looking for a young man.\\
'''Johnny:''' All right. I believe you. ''(Johnny pulls his gun in the film)'' But my tommygun don't! ''([[MassOhCrap everyone is horrified]])'' Get down on your knees and tell me you love me.\\
'''Mr. Hector:''' ''(whispers)'' On your knees. ''(everyone gets down on their knees)'' I ''love'' you! ''(Kevin snickers in the other room)''\\
'''Johnny:''' You gotta do better than that!\\
'''Hotel Staff:''' ''[in unison]'' I LOVE YOU!\\
'''Johnny:''' Maybe I'm off my hinges, but I believe ya. [[HopeSpot That's why I'm gonna let ya go.]] I'm gonna give ya 'til the count of three to get your lousy, lyin', low-down, four-flushin' carcass out my door! ''(the hotel staff scramble out of there as fast as they can)'' One...\\
'''Mr. Hector:''' Open the door!\\
'''Johnny:''' Two... ''(Begins unloading his tommygun, laughing maniacally. The hotel staff dive for cover out in the hall)'' Three! ''(Kevin lip syncs Johnny's words as he ducks into the stairwell)'' Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal! ''(Johnny shoots another burst. Kevin pokes his head out on cue)'' And a Happy New Year. ''(one last shot)''\\
'''Mr. Hector:''' ''(as he and the staff begin crawling away as the hotel guests peek out)'' Stay in your rooms! This is an emergency! There's an insane guest with a gun!
** Earlier, when Kevin watches the movie the first time.
--->'''Johnny:''' You was here last night too, wasn't ya?\\
'''Gardenias:''' I was singing at the Blue Monkey last night.\\
'''Kevin:''' She was not! She was smooching with your brother.\\
'''Johnny:''' You was here... and you was smoochin' with my brother!\\
'''Kevin:''' See?
* "SUCK BRICK, KID!" [[spoiler:Marv's one-liner to Kevin once he has a brick in hand, clearly said in response to having suffered four thrown bricks to the face in less than two minutes from Kevin throwing said bricks from a three story rooftop. Even more hilarious is that on the final one Marv sees Kevin winding up and starts incoherently babbling while he tries to warn Harry. Despite being the one to see it coming and Harry looking away, he ''still'' winds up getting hit.]]
** [[spoiler:Making it funnier is that Kevin simply takes a step to the left and Marv completely misses.]]
* First time Kevin gets caught by Harry and Marv, they reach an intersection in the street, with an attractive lady in front of them. Upon confirming he's not being watched, Kevin pinches her in the bum. Said lady happens to have had an interaction with Marv earlier and thinking he did it, she punches Marv right in the face, catching Harry fully off-guard.
-->'''Kevin:''' [[ChildrenAreInnocent He did it]]! ''(Points at Harry)''\\
'''Harry:''' [[NeverMyFault Did]] [[JustifiedTrope what]]? ''(Gets decked by her anyway)''\\
'''Kevin:''' ''(Big grin on his face)'' Thanks!
* The exchange with Mr. Hector the concierge (played by Tim Curry of course) and Kevin operating the shower. Kevin has rigged up the inflatable Bozo to silhouette behind the shower curtain, making it out to be his dad. He's playing the recording of Uncle Frank singing "Cool Jerk" by the Capitols on the Talkboy that he recorded near the beginning of the film. The concierge walks in and is standing in disbelief when Kevin turns the inflated Bozo and this exchange, complete with gestures, occurs:
-->'''Recorded Uncle Frank:''' GET OUT OF HERE YOU NOSY LITTLE PERVERT, OR I'M GOING TO SLAP YOU SILLY!\\
'''Mr. Hector:''' ''(some sort of anguished cry)'' ''(runs out of the bathroom)'' \\
'''Recorded Uncle Frank:''' Oh, we're ''cooking'', Frankie!\\
'''Mr Hector:''' ''(hits and knocks over endtable)'' Oof! ''(places endtable upright and limps out of the room)''
** This becomes especially funny when you consider one of Tim Curry's [[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow earlier roles]]...
** Speaking of that scene, Kevin got the recording while his Uncle Frank was in the shower, while getting his tie.
--->'''Kevin:''' My tie's in the bathroom. I can't go in there, 'cause Uncle Frank's taking a shower. He says if I walked in there and saw him naked, I'll grow up never feeling like a real man.\\
''(His parents stare at him in confusion)''\\
'''Kevin:''' Whatever that means.\\
'''Peter:''' I'm sure he was just teasing. You just run in there, get your tie, get out, and don't look at... anything.
* When Harry and Marv first spot Kevin and surprise him on a crowded New York street. Kevin's initial response? To scream as loudly as possible. They respond by looking around awkwardly. And Kevin just ''stands there'' a few seconds.
** When he's in the clutches of Harry and Marv in public, how does he escape? Take a giant squeeze out of the ass of the lady in front of him ([[ChekhovsGunman who happened to be the same woman who slapped Marv after he tried to flirt with her earlier in the film]]) and pass it off as his captors doing it; she punches them both out and he escapes. Even funnier is he thanks her afterward, and she in turn gives him a nod and happy "Hmph".
* Kate and Peter explaining to Airport Security in Florida that yes, they ''have'' in fact lost Kevin once before. Which leads to this wonderfully awkward attempt at humor from Peter:
-->'''Peter:''' Funnily enough, we never lose our luggage!
** And then he and Kate start giggling nervously and knock on wood while the officer '''[[DudeNotFunny very uncomfortably]]''' stares at them. This becomes even more funny when you remember the officer from the first movie that spoke with Kevin's parents being completely unconcerned.
* [[HellIsThatNoise "That was the sound of a tool chest falling down the stairs."]]
* Marv falls into the basement through a huge hole Kevin cut in the floor. He stands up and wrenches his back so that he's staring straight up, and declares "Wow, what a hole!"
** And before that he had to suffer a gauntlet of pain just to get up the front steps and into the door, starting with being pelted by bricks, followed by repeatedly getting shot in the butt by a staple gun, [[GroinAttack groin]], and nose. After having enough and kicking the doors open he proudly shouts:
-->'''Marv:''' Harry! I've ''reached'' the top! ''[takes one step forward, falling into the massive hole down to the basement.]''
* Kevin throwing down bricks at the bandits, every single one hitting Marv on the spot. Bonus points for the first brick, which sends Marv stumbling to the ground making a sound something like "Eeuurraaaghh!" Summed up by Honest Actions as follows:
-->1. [[OneHitKill Skull Fracture with Epidural Hematoma. Marv is Dead.]]
-->2. [[DoubleTap Skull Fracture with Epidural Hematoma. Marv is Dead.]]
-->3. [[RuleOfThree Skull Fracture with Epidural Hematoma. Marv is Dead.]]
-->4. [[FourIsDeath Skull Fracture with Epidural Hematoma. Marv is Dead.]]
* Marv's unexpected encounter with an electrified sink. Cue frantic screaming that gradually increases in pitch the longer it goes on, and his brief [[XRaySparks transformation into a screaming skeleton]]. Röntgen would not approve.
* Marv tries to leave the basement by way of a conveniently placed rope going up several floors. He tugs on it to see if it's stable; it seems to be, so he takes his first jump up...and pulls a massive bag of cement mix off the edge of the top floor. Marv ends up looking like a Death Metal version of [[UsefulNotes/McDonalds Ronald McDonald]] afterwards.
-->'''Marv:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Uh-oh...]]\\
''(the bag hits him, flooring him; when he gets up, his hair is puffed up and his face is all white)''\\
'''Marv:''' I'm gonna murder that kid. ''[beat]'' ''ACHOO!'' *coughs*
* Near the end of the movie we have this gem between Kevin's mom and one of the hotel employees
-->'''Kate:''' "What kind of hotel allows a child to check in alone?"\\
'''Hotel Employee:''' "The boy had a very convincing story."\\
'''Kate:''' ''(angrily)'' "What kind of idiots do you have working here?"\\
'''Hotel Employee:''' ''(proudly)'' "[[ComicallyMissingThePoint The finest in New York.]]"
* [[DelegationRelay The bag exchange]]:
-->'''Peter:''' ''(picks up Kevin's bag)'' That's Kevin, give this to Kevin.\\
'''Kate:''' Give this— ''(Uncle Frank gestures "Not me!", so Kate turns to Aunt Leslie instead)'' Give this to Kevin.\\
'''Aunt Leslie:''' ''(rolls her eyes)'' Give this to Kevin.\\
'''Tracy:''' Give this to Kevin.\\
'''Linnie:''' Kevin.\\
'''Buzz:''' ''[without even taking the bag so it goes directly from Linnie to Rod]'' Give this to Kevin.\\
'''Rod:''' Give this to Kevin.\\
'''Sondra:''' Give this to Kevin.\\
'''Megan:''' Give this to Kevin.\\
'''Jeff:''' Give this to Kevin.\\
'''Brooke:''' Give this to Kevin.\\
'''Fuller:''' Here you go, Kevin. ''(turns and is shocked to see an elderly couple looking quizzically at him, then gives bag back)'' Kevin's not here.\\
'''Brooke:''' Kevin's not here.\\
'''Jeff:''' Kevin's not here.\\
'''Megan:''' Kevin's not here.\\
'''Sondra:''' Kevin's not here.\\
'''Rod:''' Kevin's not here.\\
'''Linnie:''' Kevin's not here.\\
'''Tracy:''' Kevin's not here.\\
'''Aunt Leslie:''' Kevin's not here.\\
'''Kate:''' [[DelayedOhCrap Kevin's not here]].\\
'''Peter:''' ''(double-takes)'' [[BigWhat WHAT?!]]\\
'''Kate:''' ''([[OhCrapSmile laughs for a few seconds]] before...)'' '''''[[SayMyName KEVIN!!!!]]''''' ''(faints)''
* Harry unknowingly lights his own head on fire with a light cord that Kevin has rigged up to a blowtorch. He inexplicably starts casually walking around the room — despite being able to tell Kevin's not there — for a few seconds, and doesn't realize what has happened to his head until he glimpses at the mirror.[[note]]Perhaps the blowtorch that burned his head in the first movie damaged the nerves in that part of his head or, since the blowtorch's flames were a lot smoother, his hat stopped him from feeling the fire.[[/note]] He panics and after realizing that the sink faucets don't work because the plumbing is busted, he notices water in the toilet. Instead of simply taking his hat off and throwing it in or just dunking his head in the water, [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill he does a perfect handstand on the rim of the toilet and lowers himself in]], not knowing that the liquid in the toilet has been replaced with paint thinner. The result is an explosion that ''blows out the entire first floor of the house'' but miraculously Harry survives with only a singed scalp and some soot on his face and teeth.
** The fact Harry actually checked to see if every light was a trap ''except the one that was''.
** During his panic, Harry screams "HE DID IT!", in disbelief that his head is aflame ''again''.
* Marv and Harry's BadBadActing as they try to fake Kevin out by pretending to get hit with the paint cans, having anticipated that he would try this, while Harry counts them off ("OW! Right in the ''SCHNOZZ!''"). Sadly, they fail to anticipate the ''lead sewer pipe'' that knocks them down a moment later:
-->'''Marv:''' ''[as the pipe comes swinging their way]'' [[OhCrap Oops.]]\\
''(the pipe slams in their faces, knocking them down the stairs, into the hole in the floor and onto the basement where they lie)''\\
'''Marv:''' That's... three.\\
''(Kevin cuts the string holding the pipe, causing it to roll down the stairs)''\\
'''Harry:''' [[LittleNo No...]]\\
''(the pipe hits them again)''\\
'''Marv:''' That's... four!
:: :It also helps that before Kevin catches them off-guard, they're clearly enjoying themselves as they put up their act, along with the fact that Marv seems clueless as to what Harry's getting at until the first paint can comes down.
* The [[LargeHam ham]]-''tastic'' way in which Marv delivered this response, suddenly straightening up, thrusting out his chest and putting his hands on his hips.
-->'''Kevin:''' You guys giving up? Have you had enough ''pain''?\\
'''Marv:''' '''''[[BigNever NEVAH!]]'''''
** It ''cannot'' be overstated how much Daniel Stern hams it up in this movie.
* At the end, Kevin is in Central Park wishing the pigeon lady a Merry Christmas, while Buzz gets [[ShockinglyExpensiveBill Kevin's room service bill]] at the hotel room. [[BigBrotherBully Buzz]] holds in a shit-eating grin while looking at it.
-->'''Buzz:''' Merry Christmas, indeed. Oh, ''[[TheStoolPigeon daaaa-aad]]''...\\
''([[ScreamDiscretionShot cut to outside]])''\\
'''Peter:''' '''''KEVIN!!!! YOU SPENT $967 ON ROOM SERVICE???!!!'''''
** What makes this even funnier is the fact that modern audiences would think that's not terrifyingly much for a kid stuck in a city for a few days, since modern pricing for the hotel Kevin stayed at can run about $600 for a few days. However, adjusting for inflation as of 2021, Kevin spent the 1992 equivalent of ''more than $2,000'' on ''room service alone.''
* When Kate and Peter wake to find that they've overslept. Again.
-->'''Kate and Peter:''' We did it again! ''(AsideGlance)'' Argh!
* Throughout the early parts of the search through the booby trapped house, Harry is doing his damned best to make sure he doesn't fall for any traps again. He fails to do so, obviously, but it's just so hilarious watching him constantly testing doorknobs and checking whether or not anything he touches will set off another trap.
* Admit it, the transition shot from [[WesternAnimation/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas the Grinch's]] evil smile to Tim Curry pulling one of his own was pretty funny.
** Even funny is when Tim Curry says his line, the light bulb above him ''[[IdeaBulb turns on]]''.
* As much of a JerkAss as he is, Buzz's prank during the performance is still pretty hilarious on its own — him holding the glowing (electronic) candles behind Kevin's ears like ''bunny ears'', then pointing them towards his ears like arrows (think an arrow through the head headpiece gag), then finally pretending to drum on his head with them (with very convincing motions and expression at that), all the while almost the entire audience are sent into hysterics. Not necessarily to be mean towards Kevin, but just because they find the harmless prank utterly hilarious, sure Buzz is publicly making Kevin out to be an idiot, they think he is just goofing around with him and is all for laughs. As mean as the stunt is, as mean their actions were though, honestly who could blame them, they did not know the family's dynamics, they did not know why Buzz was truly doing it. Knowing though that all the adults and older students in the audience, as well as the other children in the choir, think Buzz is just messing around with Kevin, does make it not as terrible and much funnier, but knowing that they still chose to laugh like that let alone to a ten year old kid, especially in an event like that, does not. Still you can take it either way, not intentionally malicious (except Uncle Frank's response to it anyway), but not entirely innocent either.
** Buzz's [[BlatantLies ridiculously formal apology]] afterwards, which the entire family eats up. What really makes it is his line after Kevin rightfully storms off.
-->'''Buzz:''' (shaking his head with a thoughtful expression) What a troubled young man...
** "I'm not apologizing to Buzz. [[WouldRatherSuffer I'd rather kiss a toilet seat.]]"
** Though you do feel sorry for the pianist when she tips over in her chair, especially that she was one of the few who did not laugh at Kevin during his solo, you cannot help but chuckle at her vocal response to it.
** Kevin's reaction to Buzz is also hilarious, though he was in the wrong to shove Buzz causing Buzz and the other students, as well as the set to fall over, as a response, it is still hilarious and a bit cathartic to see.
* At the end of the film, before Buzz gives his speech to Kevin, he tries to get everyone's attention by blowing a whistle. Instead, he [[EpicFail blows a raspberry]].
* When Kevin photographs the bandits outside the toy store: "Hey guys! Smile!" — and Marv ''does!''
-->'''Harry:''' "He took our picture!"\\
'''Marv:''' "[[ComicallyMissingThePoint How'd my hair look?]]"
* This exchange:
--> '''Frank:''' You better not wreck this trip, you little sourpuss. Your dad's paid good money for it.\\
'''Kevin:''' Oh, wouldn't want to spoil your fun, Mr. Cheapskate.
** Which is made even funnier by both his and Fuller's reactions.
* Meta: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFq4Bpf6Hzw "Home Alone in 5 Seconds"]].
--> '''Marv:''' ''(voiced dubbed by John [=McClane=])'' [[Film/DieHard2DieHarder How can the same shit happen to the same guy twice?]]\\
'''Harry:''' ''(kicks Marv)'' Shut up!
* This bit, after Harry lays out the robbery plan:
--> '''Harry:''' Yep, there's nobody dumb enough to knock off a toy store on Christmas Eve.\\
'''Marv:''' Oh yes there is... ''(points and himself and Harry)''
* Uncle Frank, to Fuller, who's drinking a soda: "Hey, easy on the fluids, pal. The rubber sheets are packed." He then takes the Coke and begins drinking it himself.
* Marv's [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl girly scream]] when he's attacked by the pigeons.
* As Kate is deciding to look for Kevin herself:
-->'''Kate:''' The way I'm feeling, [[MamaBear no mugger or murderer would dare mess with me!]]\\
'''Mr. Hector:''' Madam, there are hundreds of parasites out there, armed to the teeth— ''(gets slapped across the face by Kate's glove)'' Do bundle up; it's awfully cold outside. ''(Lip quivering as he looks like he's struggling not to cry)''
* After arriving in New York fresh from a jailbreak, Marv immediately commits the dastardly crime of… snatching at a bucket full of change from a charity Santa Claus in passing.
-->'''Harry:''' That's real smart, Marv. You bust out of jail to rob 14¢ from a Santee Claus?
** Marv also announces from the change sticking to his taped hand that their new nickname is "The Sticky Bandits!". Harry looks supremely unimpressed and merely says, [[SarcasmMode "Real cute."]]
** At the end, when Harry and Marv are arrested again, Marv wants it known to the press that their new name is the Sticky Bandits:
--> '''Marv''': That's "sticky". S, T, uh...\\
'''Harry''': I.\\
'''Marv''': I...
* Kevin manages to leave evidence for the cops before he runs off into the night; his Polaroids of Harry and Marv stealing the cash, and a tape recording when they'd captured him earlier simply labelled [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Bad Guys Saying They'll Kill Me."]]
* As they were being arrested, one of the officers mentioned that the inmates have already exchanged gifts.
-->'''Marv:''': We missed the presents?
* Kevin's plan to expose Harry's and Marv's plan to the police is made easy because Marv ''openly tells them''.
--> '''Marv''': He made us hide out in the store so we could steal all the kiddies' charity money.\\
'''Harry''': ''(kicks Marv)'' Shut up, Marv! You got the right to remain silent, you know.\\
'''Marv''': He's a little cranky. We just broke out of prison a few days ago.\\
'''Harry''': ''(kicks him again)'' SHUT UP, Marv! Jeez!\\
'''Cop''': ''(disgusted)'' Get 'em outta here.
* Harry and Marv hide out in Mr. Duncan's toy store, in doll houses. They poke their heads out of the windows to discuss their plan to rob the place and have to stay completely still when customers walk past.
--> '''Marv:''' Hey, nice house! But there's no bathroom in it!
** Later in the scene, when Kevin takes their picture as they're grabbing the loot, Harry runs out of the store and jumps on a board- Marv inadvertently hops on the other end, sending Harry airborne and landing on the top of a car. Even better, Marv complains as he's helping Harry up: [[MinorInjuryOverreaction "I twisted my ankle on that board there."]]

to:

* A trailer for this movie uses a hilariously twisted version of "[[ChristmasSongs Deck the Halls]]", complete with FollowTheBouncingBall, over some of Harry and Marv's mishaps:
-->''Deck the halls with Marv and Harry. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)\\
Make their Christmas not-so-merry. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)\\
Give them bricks, and give them wrenches. (Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la la la!)\\
One more Christmas in the trenches. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)\\
\\
Toss some paint-cans (sic) down to greet them. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)\\
Send the toolbox down to meet them. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)\\
Serve them nails for Christmas dinner. (Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la la la!)\\
'''Marv:''' YEOW!!!!\\
Kevin is declared the winner. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)''\\
'''Harry:''' May I do the thinking, please?
* The hotel staff chases Kevin into his hotel suite, where Kevin suddenly puts on ''Angels with Even Filthier Souls'' and does a much more over the top version of his previous use of the movie on the pizza boy in the first film to slow them down:
-->'''Johnny:''' Hold it right there!\\
'''[[Creator/TimCurry Mr. Hector]]:''' This is the Concierge, ''sir''!\\
'''Johnny:''' I knew it was you. I could smell ya getting off the elevator! [...] You was here last night too, wasn't ya? ''[beat]''\\
'''Mr. Hector:''' ...Yes, sir. I was.\\
'''Johnny:''' You was here...and you was smoochin' with my brother!\\
'''Mr. Hector''' ''(taken aback)'' I... I'm afraid you're mistaken, sir.\\
'''Johnny:''' Don't gimme that. You been smoochin' with everybody! [[ReallyGetsAround Snuffy, Al, Leo, Little Moe with the gimpy leg, Cheeks, Bony Bob, Cliff]]...\\
'''Security Guard:''' ''(everyone looks to this guard, whose nametag just happens to reads "Cliff", he is shocked as everyone else. One of them also has an expression that basically says "Cliff, [[DirtyOldMan is it true?]]" while [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Cedric shakes his head with a "for shame" expression]])'' No! ''It's a lie!''\\
'''Johnny:''' I could go on forever, baby.\\
'''Mr. Hector:''' I'm terribly sorry, sir, but I'm afraid you're mistaken. We're looking for a young man.\\
'''Johnny:''' All right. I believe you. ''(Johnny pulls his gun in the film)'' But my tommygun don't! ''([[MassOhCrap everyone is horrified]])'' Get down on your knees and tell me you love me.\\
'''Mr. Hector:''' ''(whispers)'' On your knees. ''(everyone gets down on their knees)'' I ''love'' you! ''(Kevin snickers in the other room)''\\
'''Johnny:''' You gotta do better than that!\\
'''Hotel Staff:''' ''[in unison]'' I LOVE YOU!\\
'''Johnny:''' Maybe I'm off my hinges, but I believe ya. [[HopeSpot That's why I'm gonna let ya go.]] I'm gonna give ya 'til the count of three to get your lousy, lyin', low-down, four-flushin' carcass out my door! ''(the hotel staff scramble out of there as fast as they can)'' One...\\
'''Mr. Hector:''' Open the door!\\
'''Johnny:''' Two... ''(Begins unloading his tommygun, laughing maniacally. The hotel staff dive for cover out in the hall)'' Three! ''(Kevin lip syncs Johnny's words as he ducks into the stairwell)'' Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal! ''(Johnny shoots another burst. Kevin pokes his head out on cue)'' And a Happy New Year. ''(one last shot)''\\
'''Mr. Hector:''' ''(as he and the staff begin crawling away as the hotel guests peek out)'' Stay in your rooms! This is an emergency! There's an insane guest with a gun!
** Earlier, when Kevin watches the movie the first time.
--->'''Johnny:''' You was here last night too, wasn't ya?\\
'''Gardenias:''' I was singing at the Blue Monkey last night.\\
'''Kevin:''' She was not! She was smooching with your brother.\\
'''Johnny:''' You was here... and you was smoochin' with my brother!\\
'''Kevin:''' See?
* "SUCK BRICK, KID!" [[spoiler:Marv's one-liner to Kevin once he has a brick in hand, clearly said in response to having suffered four thrown bricks to the face in less than two minutes from Kevin throwing said bricks from a three story rooftop. Even more hilarious is that on the final one Marv sees Kevin winding up and starts incoherently babbling while he tries to warn Harry. Despite being the one to see it coming and Harry looking away, he ''still'' winds up getting hit.]]
** [[spoiler:Making it funnier is that Kevin simply takes a step to the left and Marv completely misses.]]
* First time Kevin gets caught by Harry and Marv, they reach an intersection in the street, with an attractive lady in front of them. Upon confirming he's not being watched, Kevin pinches her in the bum. Said lady happens to have had an interaction with Marv earlier and thinking he did it, she punches Marv right in the face, catching Harry fully off-guard.
-->'''Kevin:''' [[ChildrenAreInnocent He did it]]! ''(Points at Harry)''\\
'''Harry:''' [[NeverMyFault Did]] [[JustifiedTrope what]]? ''(Gets decked by her anyway)''\\
'''Kevin:''' ''(Big grin on his face)'' Thanks!
* The exchange with Mr. Hector the concierge (played by Tim Curry of course) and Kevin operating the shower. Kevin has rigged up the inflatable Bozo to silhouette behind the shower curtain, making it out to be his dad. He's playing the recording of Uncle Frank singing "Cool Jerk" by the Capitols on the Talkboy that he recorded near the beginning of the film. The concierge walks in and is standing in disbelief when Kevin turns the inflated Bozo and this exchange, complete with gestures, occurs:
-->'''Recorded Uncle Frank:''' GET OUT OF HERE YOU NOSY LITTLE PERVERT, OR I'M GOING TO SLAP YOU SILLY!\\
'''Mr. Hector:''' ''(some sort of anguished cry)'' ''(runs out of the bathroom)'' \\
'''Recorded Uncle Frank:''' Oh, we're ''cooking'', Frankie!\\
'''Mr Hector:''' ''(hits and knocks over endtable)'' Oof! ''(places endtable upright and limps out of the room)''
** This becomes especially funny when you consider one of Tim Curry's [[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow earlier roles]]...
** Speaking of that scene, Kevin got the recording while his Uncle Frank was in the shower, while getting his tie.
--->'''Kevin:''' My tie's in the bathroom. I can't go in there, 'cause Uncle Frank's taking a shower. He says if I walked in there and saw him naked, I'll grow up never feeling like a real man.\\
''(His parents stare at him in confusion)''\\
'''Kevin:''' Whatever that means.\\
'''Peter:''' I'm sure he was just teasing. You just run in there, get your tie, get out, and don't look at... anything.
* When Harry and Marv first spot Kevin and surprise him on a crowded New York street. Kevin's initial response? To scream as loudly as possible. They respond by looking around awkwardly. And Kevin just ''stands there'' a few seconds.
** When he's in the clutches of Harry and Marv in public, how does he escape? Take a giant squeeze out of the ass of the lady in front of him ([[ChekhovsGunman who happened to be the same woman who slapped Marv after he tried to flirt with her earlier in the film]]) and pass it off as his captors doing it; she punches them both out and he escapes. Even funnier is he thanks her afterward, and she in turn gives him a nod and happy "Hmph".
* Kate and Peter explaining to Airport Security in Florida that yes, they ''have'' in fact lost Kevin once before. Which leads to this wonderfully awkward attempt at humor from Peter:
-->'''Peter:''' Funnily enough, we never lose our luggage!
** And then he and Kate start giggling nervously and knock on wood while the officer '''[[DudeNotFunny very uncomfortably]]''' stares at them. This becomes even more funny when you remember the officer from the first movie that spoke with Kevin's parents being completely unconcerned.
* [[HellIsThatNoise "That was the sound of a tool chest falling down the stairs."]]
* Marv falls into the basement through a huge hole Kevin cut in the floor. He stands up and wrenches his back so that he's staring straight up, and declares "Wow, what a hole!"
** And before that he had to suffer a gauntlet of pain just to get up the front steps and into the door, starting with being pelted by bricks, followed by repeatedly getting shot in the butt by a staple gun, [[GroinAttack groin]], and nose. After having enough and kicking the doors open he proudly shouts:
-->'''Marv:''' Harry! I've ''reached'' the top! ''[takes one step forward, falling into the massive hole down to the basement.]''
* Kevin throwing down bricks at the bandits, every single one hitting Marv on the spot. Bonus points for the first brick, which sends Marv stumbling to the ground making a sound something like "Eeuurraaaghh!" Summed up by Honest Actions as follows:
-->1. [[OneHitKill Skull Fracture with Epidural Hematoma. Marv is Dead.]]
-->2. [[DoubleTap Skull Fracture with Epidural Hematoma. Marv is Dead.]]
-->3. [[RuleOfThree Skull Fracture with Epidural Hematoma. Marv is Dead.]]
-->4. [[FourIsDeath Skull Fracture with Epidural Hematoma. Marv is Dead.]]
* Marv's unexpected encounter with an electrified sink. Cue frantic screaming that gradually increases in pitch the longer it goes on, and his brief [[XRaySparks transformation into a screaming skeleton]]. Röntgen would not approve.
* Marv tries to leave the basement by way of a conveniently placed rope going up several floors. He tugs on it to see if it's stable; it seems to be, so he takes his first jump up...and pulls a massive bag of cement mix off the edge of the top floor. Marv ends up looking like a Death Metal version of [[UsefulNotes/McDonalds Ronald McDonald]] afterwards.
-->'''Marv:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Uh-oh...]]\\
''(the bag hits him, flooring him; when he gets up, his hair is puffed up and his face is all white)''\\
'''Marv:''' I'm gonna murder that kid. ''[beat]'' ''ACHOO!'' *coughs*
* Near the end of the movie we have this gem between Kevin's mom and one of the hotel employees
-->'''Kate:''' "What kind of hotel allows a child to check in alone?"\\
'''Hotel Employee:''' "The boy had a very convincing story."\\
'''Kate:''' ''(angrily)'' "What kind of idiots do you have working here?"\\
'''Hotel Employee:''' ''(proudly)'' "[[ComicallyMissingThePoint The finest in New York.]]"
* [[DelegationRelay The bag exchange]]:
-->'''Peter:''' ''(picks up Kevin's bag)'' That's Kevin, give this to Kevin.\\
'''Kate:''' Give this— ''(Uncle Frank gestures "Not me!", so Kate turns to Aunt Leslie instead)'' Give this to Kevin.\\
'''Aunt Leslie:''' ''(rolls her eyes)'' Give this to Kevin.\\
'''Tracy:''' Give this to Kevin.\\
'''Linnie:''' Kevin.\\
'''Buzz:''' ''[without even taking the bag so it goes directly from Linnie to Rod]'' Give this to Kevin.\\
'''Rod:''' Give this to Kevin.\\
'''Sondra:''' Give this to Kevin.\\
'''Megan:''' Give this to Kevin.\\
'''Jeff:''' Give this to Kevin.\\
'''Brooke:''' Give this to Kevin.\\
'''Fuller:''' Here you go, Kevin. ''(turns and is shocked to see an elderly couple looking quizzically at him, then gives bag back)'' Kevin's not here.\\
'''Brooke:''' Kevin's not here.\\
'''Jeff:''' Kevin's not here.\\
'''Megan:''' Kevin's not here.\\
'''Sondra:''' Kevin's not here.\\
'''Rod:''' Kevin's not here.\\
'''Linnie:''' Kevin's not here.\\
'''Tracy:''' Kevin's not here.\\
'''Aunt Leslie:''' Kevin's not here.\\
'''Kate:''' [[DelayedOhCrap Kevin's not here]].\\
'''Peter:''' ''(double-takes)'' [[BigWhat WHAT?!]]\\
'''Kate:''' ''([[OhCrapSmile laughs for a few seconds]] before...)'' '''''[[SayMyName KEVIN!!!!]]''''' ''(faints)''
* Harry unknowingly lights his own head on fire with a light cord that Kevin has rigged up to a blowtorch. He inexplicably starts casually walking around the room — despite being able to tell Kevin's not there — for a few seconds, and doesn't realize what has happened to his head until he glimpses at the mirror.[[note]]Perhaps the blowtorch that burned his head in the first movie damaged the nerves in that part of his head or, since the blowtorch's flames were a lot smoother, his hat stopped him from feeling the fire.[[/note]] He panics and after realizing that the sink faucets don't work because the plumbing is busted, he notices water in the toilet. Instead of simply taking his hat off and throwing it in or just dunking his head in the water, [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill he does a perfect handstand on the rim of the toilet and lowers himself in]], not knowing that the liquid in the toilet has been replaced with paint thinner. The result is an explosion that ''blows out the entire first floor of the house'' but miraculously Harry survives with only a singed scalp and some soot on his face and teeth.
** The fact Harry actually checked to see if every light was a trap ''except the one that was''.
** During his panic, Harry screams "HE DID IT!", in disbelief that his head is aflame ''again''.
* Marv and Harry's BadBadActing as they try to fake Kevin out by pretending to get hit with the paint cans, having anticipated that he would try this, while Harry counts them off ("OW! Right in the ''SCHNOZZ!''"). Sadly, they fail to anticipate the ''lead sewer pipe'' that knocks them down a moment later:
-->'''Marv:''' ''[as the pipe comes swinging their way]'' [[OhCrap Oops.]]\\
''(the pipe slams in their faces, knocking them down the stairs, into the hole in the floor and onto the basement where they lie)''\\
'''Marv:''' That's... three.\\
''(Kevin cuts the string holding the pipe, causing it to roll down the stairs)''\\
'''Harry:''' [[LittleNo No...]]\\
''(the pipe hits them again)''\\
'''Marv:''' That's... four!
:: :It also helps that before Kevin catches them off-guard, they're clearly enjoying themselves as they put up their act, along with the fact that Marv seems clueless as to what Harry's getting at until the first paint can comes down.
* The [[LargeHam ham]]-''tastic'' way in which Marv delivered this response, suddenly straightening up, thrusting out his chest and putting his hands on his hips.
-->'''Kevin:''' You guys giving up? Have you had enough ''pain''?\\
'''Marv:''' '''''[[BigNever NEVAH!]]'''''
** It ''cannot'' be overstated how much Daniel Stern hams it up in this movie.
* At the end, Kevin is in Central Park wishing the pigeon lady a Merry Christmas, while Buzz gets [[ShockinglyExpensiveBill Kevin's room service bill]] at the hotel room. [[BigBrotherBully Buzz]] holds in a shit-eating grin while looking at it.
-->'''Buzz:''' Merry Christmas, indeed. Oh, ''[[TheStoolPigeon daaaa-aad]]''...\\
''([[ScreamDiscretionShot cut to outside]])''\\
'''Peter:''' '''''KEVIN!!!! YOU SPENT $967 ON ROOM SERVICE???!!!'''''
** What makes this even funnier is the fact that modern audiences would think that's not terrifyingly much for a kid stuck in a city for a few days, since modern pricing for the hotel Kevin stayed at can run about $600 for a few days. However, adjusting for inflation as of 2021, Kevin spent the 1992 equivalent of ''more than $2,000'' on ''room service alone.''
* When Kate and Peter wake to find that they've overslept. Again.
-->'''Kate and Peter:''' We did it again! ''(AsideGlance)'' Argh!
* Throughout the early parts of the search through the booby trapped house, Harry is doing his damned best to make sure he doesn't fall for any traps again. He fails to do so, obviously, but it's just so hilarious watching him constantly testing doorknobs and checking whether or not anything he touches will set off another trap.
* Admit it, the transition shot from [[WesternAnimation/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas the Grinch's]] evil smile to Tim Curry pulling one of his own was pretty funny.
** Even funny is when Tim Curry says his line, the light bulb above him ''[[IdeaBulb turns on]]''.
* As much of a JerkAss as he is, Buzz's prank during the performance is still pretty hilarious on its own — him holding the glowing (electronic) candles behind Kevin's ears like ''bunny ears'', then pointing them towards his ears like arrows (think an arrow through the head headpiece gag), then finally pretending to drum on his head with them (with very convincing motions and expression at that), all the while almost the entire audience are sent into hysterics. Not necessarily to be mean towards Kevin, but just because they find the harmless prank utterly hilarious, sure Buzz is publicly making Kevin out to be an idiot, they think he is just goofing around with him and is all for laughs. As mean as the stunt is, as mean their actions were though, honestly who could blame them, they did not know the family's dynamics, they did not know why Buzz was truly doing it. Knowing though that all the adults and older students in the audience, as well as the other children in the choir, think Buzz is just messing around with Kevin, does make it not as terrible and much funnier, but knowing that they still chose to laugh like that let alone to a ten year old kid, especially in an event like that, does not. Still you can take it either way, not intentionally malicious (except Uncle Frank's response to it anyway), but not entirely innocent either.
** Buzz's [[BlatantLies ridiculously formal apology]] afterwards, which the entire family eats up. What really makes it is his line after Kevin rightfully storms off.
-->'''Buzz:''' (shaking his head with a thoughtful expression) What a troubled young man...
** "I'm not apologizing to Buzz. [[WouldRatherSuffer I'd rather kiss a toilet seat.]]"
** Though you do feel sorry for the pianist when she tips over in her chair, especially that she was one of the few who did not laugh at Kevin during his solo, you cannot help but chuckle at her vocal response to it.
** Kevin's reaction to Buzz is also hilarious, though he was in the wrong to shove Buzz causing Buzz and the other students, as well as the set to fall over, as a response, it is still hilarious and a bit cathartic to see.
* At the end of the film, before Buzz gives his speech to Kevin, he tries to get everyone's attention by blowing a whistle. Instead, he [[EpicFail blows a raspberry]].
* When Kevin photographs the bandits outside the toy store: "Hey guys! Smile!" — and Marv ''does!''
-->'''Harry:''' "He took our picture!"\\
'''Marv:''' "[[ComicallyMissingThePoint How'd my hair look?]]"
* This exchange:
--> '''Frank:''' You better not wreck this trip, you little sourpuss. Your dad's paid good money for it.\\
'''Kevin:''' Oh, wouldn't want to spoil your fun, Mr. Cheapskate.
** Which is made even funnier by both his and Fuller's reactions.
* Meta: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFq4Bpf6Hzw "Home Alone in 5 Seconds"]].
--> '''Marv:''' ''(voiced dubbed by John [=McClane=])'' [[Film/DieHard2DieHarder How can the same shit happen to the same guy twice?]]\\
'''Harry:''' ''(kicks Marv)'' Shut up!
* This bit, after Harry lays out the robbery plan:
--> '''Harry:''' Yep, there's nobody dumb enough to knock off a toy store on Christmas Eve.\\
'''Marv:''' Oh yes there is... ''(points and himself and Harry)''
* Uncle Frank, to Fuller, who's drinking a soda: "Hey, easy on the fluids, pal. The rubber sheets are packed." He then takes the Coke and begins drinking it himself.
* Marv's [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl girly scream]] when he's attacked by the pigeons.
* As Kate is deciding to look for Kevin herself:
-->'''Kate:''' The way I'm feeling, [[MamaBear no mugger or murderer would dare mess with me!]]\\
'''Mr. Hector:''' Madam, there are hundreds of parasites out there, armed to the teeth— ''(gets slapped across the face by Kate's glove)'' Do bundle up; it's awfully cold outside. ''(Lip quivering as he looks like he's struggling not to cry)''
* After arriving in New York fresh from a jailbreak, Marv immediately commits the dastardly crime of… snatching at a bucket full of change from a charity Santa Claus in passing.
-->'''Harry:''' That's real smart, Marv. You bust out of jail to rob 14¢ from a Santee Claus?
** Marv also announces from the change sticking to his taped hand that their new nickname is "The Sticky Bandits!". Harry looks supremely unimpressed and merely says, [[SarcasmMode "Real cute."]]
** At the end, when Harry and Marv are arrested again, Marv wants it known to the press that their new name is the Sticky Bandits:
--> '''Marv''': That's "sticky". S, T, uh...\\
'''Harry''': I.\\
'''Marv''': I...
* Kevin manages to leave evidence for the cops before he runs off into the night; his Polaroids of Harry and Marv stealing the cash, and a tape recording when they'd captured him earlier simply labelled [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Bad Guys Saying They'll Kill Me."]]
* As they were being arrested, one of the officers mentioned that the inmates have already exchanged gifts.
-->'''Marv:''': We missed the presents?
* Kevin's plan to expose Harry's and Marv's plan to the police is made easy because Marv ''openly tells them''.
--> '''Marv''': He made us hide out in the store so we could steal all the kiddies' charity money.\\
'''Harry''': ''(kicks Marv)'' Shut up, Marv! You got the right to remain silent, you know.\\
'''Marv''': He's a little cranky. We just broke out of prison a few days ago.\\
'''Harry''': ''(kicks him again)'' SHUT UP, Marv! Jeez!\\
'''Cop''': ''(disgusted)'' Get 'em outta here.
* Harry and Marv hide out in Mr. Duncan's toy store, in doll houses. They poke their heads out of the windows to discuss their plan to rob the place and have to stay completely still when customers walk past.
--> '''Marv:''' Hey, nice house! But there's no bathroom in it!
** Later in the scene, when Kevin takes their picture as they're grabbing the loot, Harry runs out of the store and jumps on a board- Marv inadvertently hops on the other end, sending Harry airborne and landing on the top of a car. Even better, Marv complains as he's helping Harry up: [[MinorInjuryOverreaction "I twisted my ankle on that board there."]]

[[caption-width-right:350:[[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl Now THIS is a man-scream!]]]]
* "I wouldn't let you sleep in my room if you were growing ON MY ASS!"
* This gem:
-->'''Kevin:''' This house is so full of people it makes me sick! [[HypocriticalHumor When I grow up and get married, I'm living alone!]]
* This bit is a great example of how the simplest lines can sometimes be among the funniest:
--> '''Kate:''' Get upstairs.\\
'''Kevin:''' I ''am'' upstairs, dummy! ''[they're on the second floor, but Kate was referring to the attic]''
* In the beginning, Harry (posing as a cop) is trying to talk to Kevin's parents. Unfortunately, every kid he asks is a visiting cousin, who acts unhelpful. Eventually, Harry gripes, "All kids! No parents! Must be a fancy orphanage!"
* Kevin's scream when he slaps aftershave on his face. Even better when he does it again. You think he'd learn after the first time.
* And this gem from Kate while on the phone in Paris:
--> '''Kate:''' ''(angry)'' "Somebody pick up... [[SuddenlyShouting PICK UP]]!"
* Kevin uses ''Angels with Filthy Souls'' to pull a prank on the pizza delivery boy:
-->'''Johnny:''' Who is it?\\
'''Pizza boy:''' It's ''Little Nero's'' sir, I have your pizza.\\
'''Johnny:''' Leave it on the doorstep and get the hell out of here.\\
'''Pizza boy:''' Okay. ''(puts the pizza down)'' What about the money?\\
'''Johnny:''' What money?\\
'''Pizza boy:''' ''(rolls eyes)'' Well, you have to pay for your pizza, sir.\\
'''Johnny:''' Is that a fact? How much do I owe ya?\\
''(Kevin fast forwards to the right point)''\\
'''Pizza boy:''' That'll be $11.80, sir.\\
''(Kevin pauses and drops $12 through the dog flap; Kevin then plays the next clip)''\\
'''Johnny:''' Keep the change, you filthy animal.\\
'''Pizza boy:''' ''(starts to walk away)'' Cheapskate.\\
''(Kevin rewinds a few seconds)''\\
'''Johnny:''' Hey! I'm gonna give you to the count of ten to get your ugly, yella, no-good keister off my property, before I pump your guts fulla lead! One... two... ten! ''(cue Johnny using the tommygun. The pizza guy runs to his car with all haste)''
** It's even funnier when you remember Kevin was upset in the first act over Pizza Boy not bringing enough cheese pizzas and realize he most likely gave him a cheapskate tip in petty revenge. Even funnier is how it's not really his fault Kevin's parents didn't order extra cheese pizzas.
* Kevin entering Buzz's room to get his life savings, and the bookcase he is climbing on ends up ''collapsing'' under him.
* Harry tells Marv to check the house to see if anybody's there.
-->'''Harry:''' Go check it out.\\
''(Marv just sits there. Harry looks at him, waiting. Marv looks back at him)''\\
'''Marv:''' Now?\\
'''Harry:''' No, tomorrow egghead, NOW! Go ahead! ''(scoffs)'' "Now."
** Kevin does the same gangster movie gag on Harry and Marv, with the addition of firecrackers in a pan to make things a little more believable.
* The traps Kevin set up for Harry and Marv:
** [[GroinAttack Kevin shoots Harry's groin]]. Harry makes a squeaky little scream of pain, followed by a bunch of incomprehensible {{Angrish}}. One can only imagine what Joe Pesci would've said if he'd been allowed to swear.
** Marv then sticks his head through the doggy door to see what just happened and stares right into the barrel of a BB gun. Cue OhCrapSmile plus a DelayedReaction after he gets shot. Kevin gives a cheery "Hello!" before pulling the trigger.
** Harry takes one step on the slippery stairs on the front door and slips. Later, he climbs up and trips back down.
** Marv slipping down the basement stairs the first time ("[[MajorInjuryUnderreaction Ow]]!"), and then when the crowbar falls and hits him in the head.
** [[AgonyOfTheFeet Marv steps on a nail, and then screams in pain while grabbing his foot.]] Then he falls off the stairs. And this is after the tar on the steps has removed his socks and shoes.
*** Take note of the fact that when Marv falls backwards, he misses ''every single stair'' and lands flat on his back on the floor, but doesn't even react to that because he's too focused on his foot.
** After burning his hand on the front doorknob, Harry spits on his other hand to check if the back doorknob is safe. Satisfied, he opens the door and gets his head torched. After putting out the fire with snow, he runs back and kicks the door down.
*** Even more funny about the above is that after Harry puts the fire out with snow, the pattern of his burnt scalp looks like like a snowflake.
** Harry vs. the back door blowtorch. And the sound that comes out of his mouth while [[ViolationOfCommonSense he just stands there for about five seconds while letting his head get roasted]].
--->'''Harry:''' '''''HEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!'''''
** Marv steps on the ornaments. "'''''I'M GONNA KILL THAT KID!!!!'''''"
* Marv's reaction to suddenly getting a face full of tarantula, which is somewhere in the vicinity of '''''[[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl "EEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!"]]'''''
** Followed by several [[InaneBlabbering little screams and squeals]] as he threw the spider at Harry's chest and reaching for his crowbar to smash it with.
-->'''Harry:''' ''(waking up)'' What are you doing, Marv?\\
'''Marv:''' ''(whispers)'' Harry... don't move.\\
'''Harry:''' Marv?\\
'''Marv:''' ''(whispers)'' Don't! Move. ''(getting ready to strike)''\\
'''Harry:''' ''(very worried)'' Marv, what are you doing? Marv?\\
''(Marv hits Harry's chest, missing the spider who crawls back to Buzz's room)''\\
'''Harry:''' AAAGH!! Geeez...\\
'''Marv:''' Did I get him? DID I GET HIM?! Where is it? Where is it?\\
'''Harry:''' NEVER MIND WHAT YOU GET! ''(grabs Marv's crowbar and hits him with it)'' HOW DO ''YOU'' LIKE IT, HUH?! YOU ''JERK!!'' Get that kid!
* After successfully bluffing his way passed a supermarket cashier, the bottoms of Kevin's grocery bags burst open on his walk home, spilling his groceries onto the pavement. He gives an AsideGlance of exasperation into the camera.

''({{Beat}})''\\
'''Marv:''' No I'm not!
* Buzz yelling at the end, "[[BrickJoke KEVIN! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY ROOM?!]]"
* Buzz implying to Kevin that he ate the last cheese pizza and that if he wants any somebody's gonna have to barf it up. He then tells Kevin to get a plate so he can throw some up for him and Kevin attacks him causing chaos in the kitchen.
* When Kevin finds Santa Claus, Santa's griping about getting a ticket for his car. "What next, rabies shots for the Easter Bunny?"
* Kevin telling Santa he wants his family back for Christmas and names all the family members he wants back finally saying that if Santa has time he'd also like his rude Uncle Frank back as well.
* "Look what you did, you little jerk!"
* Uncle Frank's half-assed attempt of showing sympathy on the plane.
--> '''Uncle Frank''': ''Horrible. Horrible. If it makes you feel any better, I forgot my reading glasses.''
** Followed by his wife, Peter, and Kate's reaction. His wife having a disapproving look.
* Kevin and his mom finish their ''discussion''.
-->'''Kate:''' Say good night, Kevin.\\
'''Kevin:''' [[SarcasmMode Good night, Kevin!]]
* And this little exchange once the two crooks are inside the house:
-->'''Harry:''' ''(seeing Marv in bare feet, his shoes having got stuck in tar in the basement)'' Why the hell did you take your shoes off?\\
'''Marv:''' ''(seeing Harry covered in bits of feathers that got stuck on him)'' Why the hell are you dressed like a chicken?
* "I don't want a new family! I don't want ''any'' family! Families suck!"
* Harry and Marv getting hit in the face by paint cans that Kevin sends swinging their way.

'''Marv:''' Huh? ''(gets walloped with the paint can and falls to the bottom of the steps)''\\

* After hiding from the Wet Bandits during their first break-in attempt, Kevin decides to be brave and call them out since he's "the man of the house". Oh, he is ''so'' TemptingFate with this one.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isaUORlMZlQ deleted scenes]] are outright hilarious but the topping is one of Harry and Marv singing their own rendition of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" while driving, with more appropriate lyrics:

-->'''Both:''' You better watch out, you better not hide, if your doors are open, we're coming inside, Harry and Marv are coming to town!

-->'''Harry:''' We know when you're out dancing.

-->'''Marv:''' We know just what to take.

-->'''Both:''' We know where all the money's hid, So come on, give us a break! You better watch out, you better not hide, if your doors are open, we're coming inside! Harry and Marv are coming to toooown!
* In one blooper, Creator/MacaulayCulkin yells, "Someone's in my house!"
* Another blooper where Creator/JoePesci forgets who he is.

* Creator/JoePesci and Creator/DanielStern's interviews for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC7JieuCF68 featurette]], in which they're completely unapologetic for their characters' actions:
--> '''Stern:''' They're a bunch of rich fat cats and we're gonna rip 'em off!
* This exchange when the officer (Harry in disguise) talks to Peter.
-->'''Officer (Harry):''' Are you Mr. [=McCallister?=]\\
'''Peter:''' Yeah.\\
'''Officer (Harry):''' The Mr. [=McCallister=] who lives here?\\
'''Peter:''' Yes.\\
'''Pizza boy:''' Good, because somebody owes me $122.50.
* Fuller and his sister are staring at "Officer" Harry with open mouths.
-->'''Harry:''' How are you kids doing, good? A lot of action around here today, huh? Going on vacation? Where are you going? ''(still gawking at him)'' You hear me or what? Going on a trip? Where are you going, kid?! ''(a knock on the door)'' Ha!

-->'''Kate:''' I'm calling from Paris, I have a son who's home alone--\\
'''Sergeant Balzak:''' Has the child been involved in a violent altercation with a drunken or mentally ill member of the household?\\
'''Kate:''' ''(baffled)'' No.\\
'''Sergeant Balzak:''' Has he been involved in a household accident?\\
'''Kate:''' ''(worried)'' I don't know! I'd- I hope not!\\
'''Sergeant Balzak:''' Has the child ingested poison or any other object that's become lodged in his throat?\\
'''Kate:''' ''(aggravated)'' NO! He's just home alone! I'd like somebody to go over to the house and see if he's all right! Just to check on him!\\
'''Sergeant Balzak:''' You want us to go to your house, just to check on him.\\
'''Kate:''' YES!
** If you look carefully, in his last question, a piece of donut sticks on the phone, and a moment later, it fell off and you can hear it land on his desk.
* A behind-the-scenes example: the crew had a [[TheSwearJar swear jar]] on set because they didn't want the adult actors swearing in front of the kids. For Creator/JoePesci, who filmed this alongside his role as [[SirSwearsALot Tommy]] in ''Film/GoodFellas'', it took him all of one day to fill the entire thing.
* Marv tries to pry the basement door open with a crowbar, only to turn the knob and discover it was unlocked the whole time.
* Marv giggles to himself after finishing a robbery, after leaving the "calling card" of leaving the taps running to flood the house, a practice Harry finds weird and unnecessary and has apparently previously scolded him for doing so as they immediately descend into a very petty argument in the van, leading to Harry being so distracted driving he nearly runs over Kevin. Bonus points for this "calling card" meaning the police now know every house the Wet Bandits hit after they're arrested.
* Kevin scares away Marv by playing that same film he used for scaring away the pizza boy, but simply plays it and uses firecrackers to imitate the gunfire. Marv runs to Harry explaining he witnessed a murder ''(while implying he has actually seen the movie, recognising a voice and the name Snakes)'', prompting Harry to suggest they stick around so they can give the details to the police. The fact that Marv actually takes a long pause before saying "that's a good idea" really helps sell the scene. It ends with Marv hammily musing "He ''sounded'' like a snake".
** When Marv tells Harry he heard the name Snakes, Harry quickly repeats the name to himself while trying to recall if Snakes is a criminal associate that the two have come across previously.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl Now THIS is a man-scream!]]]]
* "I wouldn't let you sleep in my room if you were growing ON MY ASS!"
* This gem:
-->'''Kevin:''' This house is so full of people it makes me sick! [[HypocriticalHumor When I grow up and get married, I'm living alone!]]
* This bit is a great example of how the simplest lines can sometimes be among the funniest:
--> '''Kate:''' Get upstairs.\\
'''Kevin:''' I ''am'' upstairs, dummy! ''[they're on the second floor, but Kate was referring to the attic]''
* In the beginning, Harry (posing as a cop) is trying to talk to Kevin's parents. Unfortunately, every kid he asks is a visiting cousin, who acts unhelpful. Eventually, Harry gripes, "All kids! No parents! Must be a fancy orphanage!"
* Kevin's scream when he slaps aftershave on his face. Even better when he does it again. You think he'd learn after the first time.
* And this gem from Kate while on the phone in Paris:
--> '''Kate:''' ''(angry)'' "Somebody pick up... [[SuddenlyShouting PICK UP]]!"
* Kevin uses ''Angels
!! Films with Filthy Souls'' to pull a prank on the pizza delivery boy:
-->'''Johnny:''' Who is it?\\
'''Pizza boy:''' It's ''Little Nero's'' sir, I have your pizza.\\
'''Johnny:''' Leave it on the doorstep and get the hell out of here.\\
'''Pizza boy:''' Okay. ''(puts the pizza down)'' What about the money?\\
'''Johnny:''' What money?\\
'''Pizza boy:''' ''(rolls eyes)'' Well, you have to pay for your pizza, sir.\\
'''Johnny:''' Is that a fact? How much do I owe ya?\\
''(Kevin fast forwards to the right point)''\\
'''Pizza boy:''' That'll be $11.80, sir.\\
''(Kevin pauses and drops $12 through the dog flap; Kevin then plays the next clip)''\\
'''Johnny:''' Keep the change, you filthy animal.\\
'''Pizza boy:''' ''(starts to walk away)'' Cheapskate.\\
''(Kevin rewinds a few seconds)''\\
'''Johnny:''' Hey! I'm gonna give you to the count of ten to get your ugly, yella, no-good keister off my property, before I pump your guts fulla lead! One... two... ten! ''(cue Johnny using the tommygun. The pizza guy runs to his car with all haste)''
** It's even funnier when you remember Kevin was upset in the first act over Pizza Boy not bringing enough cheese pizzas and realize he most likely gave him a cheapskate tip in petty revenge. Even funnier is how it's not really his fault Kevin's parents didn't order extra cheese pizzas.
* Kevin entering Buzz's room to get his life savings, and the bookcase he is climbing on ends up ''collapsing'' under him.
* Harry tells Marv to check the house to see if anybody's there.
-->'''Harry:''' Go check it out.\\
''(Marv just sits there. Harry looks at him, waiting. Marv looks back at him)''\\
'''Marv:''' Now?\\
'''Harry:''' No, tomorrow egghead, NOW! Go ahead! ''(scoffs)'' "Now."
** Kevin does the same gangster movie gag on Harry and Marv, with the addition of firecrackers in a pan to make things a little more believable.
* The traps Kevin set up for Harry and Marv:
** [[GroinAttack Kevin shoots Harry's groin]]. Harry makes a squeaky little scream of pain, followed by a bunch of incomprehensible {{Angrish}}. One can only imagine what Joe Pesci would've said if he'd been allowed to swear.
** Marv then sticks his head through the doggy door to see what just happened and stares right into the barrel of a BB gun. Cue OhCrapSmile plus a DelayedReaction after he gets shot. Kevin gives a cheery "Hello!" before pulling the trigger.
** Harry takes one step on the slippery stairs on the front door and slips. Later, he climbs up and trips back down.
** Marv slipping down the basement stairs the first time ("[[MajorInjuryUnderreaction Ow]]!"), and then when the crowbar falls and hits him in the head.
** [[AgonyOfTheFeet Marv steps on a nail, and then screams in pain while grabbing his foot.]] Then he falls off the stairs. And this is after the tar on the steps has removed his socks and shoes.
*** Take note of the fact that when Marv falls backwards, he misses ''every single stair'' and lands flat on his back on the floor, but doesn't even react to that because he's too focused on his foot.
** After burning his hand on the front doorknob, Harry spits on his other hand to check if the back doorknob is safe. Satisfied, he opens the door and gets his head torched. After putting out the fire with snow, he runs back and kicks the door down.
*** Even more funny about the above is that after Harry puts the fire out with snow, the pattern of his burnt scalp looks like like a snowflake.
** Harry vs. the back door blowtorch. And the sound that comes out of his mouth while [[ViolationOfCommonSense he just stands there for about five seconds while letting his head get roasted]].
--->'''Harry:''' '''''HEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!'''''
** Marv steps on the ornaments. "'''''I'M GONNA KILL THAT KID!!!!'''''"
* Marv's reaction to suddenly getting a face full of tarantula, which is somewhere in the vicinity of '''''[[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl "EEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!"]]'''''
** Followed by several [[InaneBlabbering little screams and squeals]] as he threw the spider at Harry's chest and reaching for his crowbar to smash it with.
-->'''Harry:''' ''(waking up)'' What are you doing, Marv?\\
'''Marv:''' ''(whispers)'' Harry... don't move.\\
'''Harry:''' Marv?\\
'''Marv:''' ''(whispers)'' Don't! Move. ''(getting ready to strike)''\\
'''Harry:''' ''(very worried)'' Marv, what are you doing? Marv?\\
''(Marv hits Harry's chest, missing the spider who crawls back to Buzz's room)''\\
'''Harry:''' AAAGH!! Geeez...\\
'''Marv:''' Did I get him? DID I GET HIM?! Where is it? Where is it?\\
'''Harry:''' NEVER MIND WHAT YOU GET! ''(grabs Marv's crowbar and hits him with it)'' HOW DO ''YOU'' LIKE IT, HUH?! YOU ''JERK!!'' Get that kid!
* After successfully bluffing his way passed a supermarket cashier, the bottoms of Kevin's grocery bags burst open on his walk home, spilling his groceries onto the pavement. He gives an AsideGlance of exasperation into the camera.
* Kevin having to face his fear of his basement furnace while doing laundry by telling it to "Shut up." ''And it does''.
* The following:

* As much of a JerkAss as he is, Buzz's prank during the performance is still pretty hilarious on its own — him holding the glowing (electronic) candles behind Kevin's ears, then pointing them towards his ears like arrows, then finally pretending to drum on his head with them (with very convincing motions and expression at that), all the while almost the entire audience are sent into hysterics. Not necessarily to be mean towards Kevin, but just because they find the harmless prank utterly hilarious, and as mean as the stunt is, honestly who could blame them.

* As much of a JerkAss as he is, Buzz's prank during the performance is still pretty hilarious on its own — him holding the glowing (electronic) candles behind Kevin's ears, ears like ''bunny ears'', then pointing them towards his ears like arrows, arrows (think an arrow through the head headpiece gag), then finally pretending to drum on his head with them (with very convincing motions and expression at that), all the while almost the entire audience are sent into hysterics. Not necessarily to be mean towards Kevin, but just because they find the harmless prank utterly hilarious, sure Buzz is publicly making Kevin out to be an idiot, they think he is just goofing around with him and as is all for laughs. As mean as the stunt is, as mean their actions were though, honestly who could blame them.them, they did not know the family's dynamics, they did not know why Buzz was truly doing it. Knowing though that all the adults and older students in the audience, as well as the other children in the choir, think Buzz is just messing around with Kevin, does make it not as terrible and much funnier, but knowing that they still chose to laugh like that let alone to a ten year old kid, especially in an event like that, does not. Still you can take it either way, not intentionally malicious (except Uncle Frank's response to it anyway), but not entirely innocent either.

Not necessarily to be mean towards Kevin, but just because they find the harmless prank utterly hilarious, and as mean as the stunt is, honestly who could blame them.

** Buzz's [[BlatantLies ridiculously formal apology]] afterwards, which [[WhatAnIdiot the entire family eats up]]. What really makes it is his line after Kevin rightfully storms off.

* "SUCK BRICK, KID!" [[spoiler:Marv's one-liner to Kevin once he has a brick in hand, clearly said in response to having suffered four thrown bricks to the face in less than two minutes from Kevin throwing said bricks from a three story rooftop.]]

[[spoiler:Marv's one-liner to Kevin once he has a brick in hand, clearly said in response to having suffered four thrown bricks to the face in less than two minutes from Kevin throwing said bricks from a three story rooftop. Even more hilarious is that on the final one Marv sees Kevin winding up and starts incoherently babbling while he tries to warn Harry. Despite being the one to see it coming and Harry looking away, he ''still'' winds up getting hit.]]
