History Funny / HomeAlone

* Unger and Jernigan getting shocked by cutting live wires and sitting on an electrified chair respectively.

** This becomes especially funny when you consider one of Tim Curry's earlier roles...

* 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 toy gun instead of his real one:
-->'''Alex:''' That doesn't belong to you either.\\

'''Beaupre:''' (fires toy gun)\\
'''Alex:''' This is your gun. (points painted bubble gun at Beaupre)\\

'''Alex:''' Ha!\\
'''Beaupre:''' (runs away in fear)\\
'''Alex:''' Gotcha! (fires bubble gun)

* 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.

* At the end, Kevin is wishing the pigeon lady a Merry Christmas while standing in Central Park, while Buzz gets Kevin's hotel bill at the hotel room:
-->'''Buzz:''' Oh, ''dad''...\\
''(cut to outside)''\\

** 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 ''almost $2000'' on ''room service alone.''

* 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...

** 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.

* Marv tries to pry the basement door open with a crowbar… only to turn the knob and discover it was unlocked the whole time.

* 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)'', 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.

'''Marv:''' YEOW!!!!
Kevin is declared the winner. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)''

** [[GroinAttack Kevin shoots Harry's groin]]. Harry makes a squeaky little scream of pain, followed by a bunch of incomprehensible {{Angrish}}.

The fact Marv actually takes a long pause before saying "that's a good idea" really helps sell the scene.

-->1. Skull Fracture with Epidural Hematoma. Marv is Dead.

''(Kevin pauses and drops $12 through the dog flap. Kevin then plays the next clip)''\\

'''Pizza boy:''' ''(starts to walk away)'' Cheapskate. ''[Kevin rewinds a few seconds]''\\

'''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?]]")'' No! ''It's a lie!''\\

* Alice sees Doris running up Jernigan's pant leg. She misses with her club, giving Jernigan an InstantSoprano scream. And then there's what he says after that.

* 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.[[/note]] He panics and after realizing that the sink faucets don't work because the plumbing is busted, he does a handstand on the rim of the toilet, 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.

* Kevin's plan to expose Harry's and Marv's plan to the police is made easy because Marv ''"openly tells them"''.

** Marv also announces from the change sticking to his taped hand that their new nickname is "The Sticky Bandits!". Harry looks supremely unimpressed and walks on without a word.

* Buzz screaming at the end "'''KEVIN!''' '''''[[BrickJoke WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY ROOM?!?!]]'''''"

'''Peter:''' '''KEVIN!''' '''''YOU SPENT $967 ON ROOM SERVICE?!?!!!'''''

Toss some paint cans down to greet them. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)\\

'''Harry:''' ''(after they resume pursuit)'' You bomb me with one more can, kid, and [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar I'll snap off your cojones]] and [[GroinAttack boil them in motor oil!]]

-->'''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.\\
