Added DiffLines:

* Paddington's bathroom shenanigans, which end up flooding the entire room and when Mr. Brown opens the door, causes a waterfall-recreation while riding on the bathtub.
** Even better is this moment:
--> '''Mr. Brown''': ''[noticing Mrs. Bird doing a weird movement]'' Now what are you doing?
--> '''Mrs. Bird''': Storm's upon us.
--> '''Mr. Brown''': You and your knees, I can tell you for a fact Mrs. Bird, [[TemptingFate It is not gonna rain indoors]].
--> ''[cue a slow-motion shot of a single drop falling from the ceiling and landing in Mr. Brown's coffee mug, with an over-dramatic tempo build]''

Added DiffLines:

* Paddington tells Mr. Brown his "bear name" with a growl. Mr. Brown tries to growl similarly, leading to this:
-->'''Paddington:''' Mr. Brown, that is extremely rude.
* Millicent's FantasticRacism about bears and the horrors they'll bring to the neighbourhood:
-->'''Millicent:''' Drains choked with fur. Buns thrown at old ladies. ''Raucous, all-night picnics.''
* The security guard at the Cartographers' Guild, with his bewildering attraction to Mr Brown in a dress.
** Even when Mr. Brown is fleeing out of the building, rapidly shedding his disguise, the security guard still yells "Stop that sexy woman!"
* The explorer naming Aunt Lucy after his dear, departed mother, and Uncle Pastuzo after... an exotic boxer he met in a bar once.
** Almost everything about the explorer in his film. From his sheer stereotypical Britishness, to his "essential" supplies including a "modest" timepiece[[note]]actually some kind of grandfather clock[[/note]] and travel piano, to his flustered response when the bears start messing with his possessions, to his reaction when the bears demonstrate an ability to learn English:
--->'''Aunt Lucy:''' ''Lun... Dun...''\\
'''Explorer:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Good. Lord.]] Now try "Stratford-Upon-Avon".
* Ever wondered what do the Royal Guards have under their hats? Well, according to this film, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKWGB-0yUso it's everything you'll need for a luxurious afternoon picnic]].
* When Mr. Curry sees Millicent the first time. Lionel Ritchie's ''Hello'' just nails the scene.
* After Mr. Curry telephones Millicent to inform her that Paddington is home on his own, he opens the door to her to reveal that he has changed into a terribly outdated tuxedo in an effort to woo her.
* The sequence Paddington accidentally chases down a pickpocket, trying to return the wallet he dropped. Especially this line from the culprit;
-->Some kind of....tiny police bear!
** Also in the same scene, various puns such as the satnav ("in 100 yards, bear left!" [Paddington is flying through the air 100 yards to the left]) and Judy's English class has the immortal Shakespeare stage direction "Exit, pursued by bear".
* The flashback explaining how Mr. Brown changed from a wild, motorcycle riding bad boy to an uptight, super concerned man when he became a father. We see him drive in on his motorcycle to the hospital, baby Judy is born over night, and literally ''the next day'', he's completely changed to his present-day self.
* The scene when Paddington is nervous about taking a step onto an escalator. He spots a sign telling people that "dogs must be carried" when entering the Underground. What does he do? [[ExactWords Carry a dog, of course. That's what it said, right?]]
* "Stranger danger. Keep your eyes down, there's some sort of bear over there. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Probably selling something]]."
-->'''Mrs. Brown:''' What are you going to do now?\\
'''Paddington:''' Well, I thought I would probably sleep in that bin over there.\\
'''Mr. Brown:''' ''[Encouraging]'' That's the spirit!
** The moment Paddington says he's an orphan, Mr. Brown says "Here we go" as he rolls his eyes. Has this sort of thing happened ''before''?
* Mrs. Bird manages to distract the museum security guard by outdrinking him.
* When Mr and Mrs Brown are explaining the concept of a "guardian" to Paddington, Mrs Brown remarks that it's usually "someone you know".
-->'''Paddington:''' But what if you don't know anybody?\\
'''Mr Brown:''' Well, then in that case the authorities will house you in some kind of government facility.\\
'''Jonathan:''' ''[Alarmed]'' What?! Like an orphanage?\\
''[Quick cut to a shot of [[OrphanageOfFear a gothic mansion straight out of a horror movie in the middle of a storm as a crow flies past, with a sign reading ORPHANAGE. A dramatic music sting plays]]]''\\
'''Mr Brown:''' ... No, no no, not an orphanage. [[DistinctionWithoutADifference It would be more like an institution for young souls whose parents have, sadly... passed on.]]\\
''[Quick cut to the exact same shot as before, except the sign has been changed to AN INSTITUTION FOR YOUNG SOULS WHOSE PARENTS HAVE SADLY PASSED ON.]''
* Mr Curry has a change-of-heart and tries to inform the Browns about the danger Paddington is in by calling them... anonymously:
-->'''Mr. Curry:''' ''[Unconvincingly trying to disguise his voice]'' Good evening. This is... an anonymous phone call...\\
'''Mr. Brown:''' ''[Nonchalantly]'' Oh, hello Mr. Curry.\\
'''Mr. Curry:''' ''[Losing the voice]'' It's not Mr. Curry! It's Mr... ''[Re-adopting the voice]'' ''Murry''. I have some news concerning... the bear.\\
'''Mr. Brown:''' ''[Listening to the phone in horror]''... ''What''?!... What do you mean?!\\
'''Mrs. Brown:''' Who is it, Henry?\\
'''Mr. Brown:''' It's Mr. Curry, doing a silly voice.\\
'''Mr. Curry:''' ''[Through the phone]'' It's ''Burry''!
** Also, do note how Mr Curry ''gets his own false name wrong''.
* When Paddington runs away, Mrs. Brown goes to the police station to file a missing bear report:
-->'''Mrs. Brown:''' He's about three foot six, got a bright red hat on and a blue duffle coat... and he's a bear.\\
'''Police Officer:''' ''[Taking notes and shaking his head]'' It's not much to go on.\\
'''Mrs. Brown:''' ''[Taken aback]'' ...''Really''?
** The meta-joke here is that she's just described the most famous and recognizable non-stuffed fictional bear of the 20th century.
* The running gag of people ''not'' being surprised by the existence of a small talking bear in a hat.
* At the climax, when Mr. Brown is trying to get Paddington's attention from a ledge outside the room where Paddington is waking up from a stupor:
-->'''Paddington:''' Is that ''you'', God?\\
'''Mr. Brown:''' What?!\\
'''Paddington:''' It's just... you sound a lot more like Mr. Brown than I would have imagined.
-->'''Mr. Brown:''' It '''''is''''' Mr. Brown!
* Judy's Chinese lesson tapes recite regular sounding phrases for learning a foreign language, then one says:
-->'''Audio Tape:''' I have been accused of insider trading, and require legal representation.
** The tape, of course, is ''Chinese for Business''.
* Milicent's FauxHorrific reaction to being sentenced to community service.
