* Benji playing ''VideoGame/Halo5Guardians'', which wasn't released yet, while listening to [[PublicDomainSoundtrack "The Marriage of Figaro"]] on his headphones.

-->'''Hunley:''' Set your watch, Brandt. [[TemptingFate Ethan Hunt is living his last day as a free man.]]
-->'''Title card:''' [[GilliganCut Six Months Later]]

-->'''Benji:''' Join the IMF, see the world!
-->''[{{Beat}}]''
-->On a monitor.
-->''[{{Beat}}]''
-->In a closet...

-->'''Benji:''' Alright, how long would it take to freeswim from the intake to the service hatch?\\

'''Benji:''' ''[makes a handwaving 'what does that matter' gesture]'' That’s going to be like a minute, tops.\\

'''Benji:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck This isn’t going to end well.]]

-->'''Ethan:''' You have your seatbelt on?\\

* Another meta one. While promoting the sequel, ''Fallout'', Rebecca Ferguson noted that actually, she had no idea what she was getting into when she signed on because she had no idea how these action movies are made. Creator/TomCruise, sitting next to her, says, "We explained it to you!" Rebecca's response is, "Very quickly! And then the first day of shooting, Tom, what did we do?" To which Cruise can only sheepishly reply, "[[https://youtu.be/fZcQah57jnY?t=309 We jumped off a building.]]"

** Even funnier? [[spoiler:'''No, he isn't.''']]

* The entire planning phase for the water heist. Especially every time that Benji [[spoiler:dismisses the difficulty of Hunt's part, while Hunt just sits there, clearly trying to come to terms with the insanity of the plan...]]

** [[RunningGag "I can neither confirm nor deny details of any operation without the Secretary's approval."]]

* [[spoiler:The Prime Minister of Great Britain on truth serum]].

* There's something oddly funny about Hunley [[spoiler:crouching with Brandt and Hunt while they're interrogating the drugged Atlee -- who's flat on the floor. Hunley even seems a bit concerned, as if he's thinking "Are we doing this right? Okay then."]]
* Hunley being [[spoiler:given full credit for saving the British Prime Minister from an attack by the rogue UsefulNotes/MI6 director. The drugged PM's expression of gratitude makes for a great punchline.]]

* A meta one. Tom Cruise and Christopher [=McQuarrie=] both mentioned how Sean Harris "wasn't a big franchise man" when they signed him on as the villain, but they assured him it would be fine since no villain survives a Mission Impossible movie. Then they finished the climatic action, wrote their great ending, and only afterwards realized, "Uh oh. Sean's [[spoiler:still alive at the end]]."

* THE. OTHER. DOOOOR!

* Benji playing ''VideoGame/Halo5Guardians'' while listening to [[PublicDomainSoundtrack "The Marriage of Figaro"]] on his headphones.

* We've all seen in in the trailer. All together, now: THE. OTHER. DOOOOR!!

** [[RunningGag "I can neither confirm or deny any details about any operation without the permission of the secretary."]]

-->'''Prime Minister:''' ''[to Brandt]'' You have a very warm hand.
