-->'''Rocky:''' "Condominiums? Never used 'em!'
* Mickey gets a load of memorable lines during Rocky's exhibition with Thunderlips during ''Rocky III'', but perhaps the best is one where Rocky, stunned at the size of Thunderlips, asks what a guy eats to get that big. Mickey immediately quips "About 202 pounds." Right afterwards, the announcer mentions that Rocky weighed in at 202 pounds for the bout. Something about the way Mickey starts chuckling at his own wit just seals it.

* Rocky and Spider years after their first and only fight. More or less heartwarming, because he offers Spider free meals at his restaurant and even more heartwarming because Spider wants to work to earn those meals. But the exchange between them is hilarious ending with this line.
--> '''Spider:''' [[CallBack Don't make me fight you again.]] Last time you got lucky.

Was it really the trainer? I thought it was a reporter during the press conference.


* Something of a meta example: many fans were making jokes prior to ''Balboa'' coming out about how Rocky's opponent was in a no-win situation - either he'd beat up a sixty-year-old man or he'd be beaten up by a sixty-year-old man. In the film itself, the opponent's trainer says almost ''those exact words''.
