* ''Popeye the Sailor'' has a ton of hilarious moments in every cartoon, but the best is in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWQu2K_kTpA Taxi Turvy]]," where Bluto breaks the status quo by stealing Popeye's spinach just before he can use it... and is immediately hit by a train. Which causes the spinach to fall into Popeye's mouth ''anyway.''

* In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agVEhM9r6SY Goonland]]", Popeye makes his way through a population of Goons by disguising himself as one - and goes into a bizarre walk and scat-singing that gets puzzled reactions from them.

* In one strip, Popeye's really proud of himself because he's found an error in the dictionary -- he's looked up the word "yam" and found that it means "sweet potato." He proudly repeats his CatchPhrase "I yam what I yam, an' that's all I yam!" to a confused Olive and points out: "Ya certin'ly wouldn't say 'I swee'potato what I swee'potato an' that's all I swee'potato, now would ya?"

** Earlier, he gets in step right behind a Goon Goon, even taking a similar gait to it, who is oblivious to his presence:
--> '''Popeye''': Don't look now, young fella, but I think you're bein' followed. ''(the Goon turns around, trying to sniff him out, and Popeye walks perfectly around him, totally unseen)''
** During the short's climax, the Goons capture Popeye and tie him down so that they can execute him by dropping a giant boulder on him. When Popeye realizes what they have planned, he uses his pipe to dig a hole and sticks his head in it so that he doesn't have to see his impending death.
** Finally, when Pappy finally frees himself from the Goon prison, he and Popeye fight back-to-back against the all the Goons in a BigBallOfViolence that gets ''so'' violent that it ''[[NoFourthWall breaks the filmstrip]]'' and the Goons all fall into the abyss while Popeye and Pappy hang on to the edge of it. The animator sticks the filmstrip back together with a safety pin and the cartoon ends with Pappy carrying off an injured but happy Popeye, both of them roughed up but victorious.

** Popeye and Olive are running the Polar Bar and Grill all by themselves. Popeye both plays piano for Olive's act and waits all the tables, so he has to pause the performance to serve drinks and food. Both times Olive has to pause her act as well; the first time she has to hold her position mid air in the middle of a leap, the second she's holding a high note. Olive's act ends with a strip tease in which she takes off her dress behind the wings; a reverse shot shows she's wearing a maid's outfit underneath, and has to quickly wash the dishes before her encore.
