* Hynkel's speech, which also serves as his introduction. A passionately random speech - it rambles past praising Tomania, condemning democracy, discussing the relationship between Herring and Garbitsch, praising Aryan maidens, condemning the Jews (with a hateful, insulting passion that causes a microphone to pull away from him. This bit is [[TactfulTranslation tactfully translated]] to "His Excellency has just referred to the Jewish people") and seemingly declaring war on all of Europe. All of this interrupted by random fits of coughing, Herring's failed belt-tightening, and a couple of mannerisms borrowed from Hitler himself. See it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4UhJpviVYg here]]. It's capped off by the translator saying "In conclusion, [[TactfulTranslation the Phooey remarks that]] [[ExactWords for the rest of the world, he has nothing but]] [[BlatantLies peace in his heart.]]"

** Related to his speeches is the RunningGag that whenever he goes on a rather long winded dictation it transcribes as merely one or two words and when he instead says just one word it takes like two pages. Even Hynkel is baffled about this.

** The Barber and his whole regiment shrugging their shoulders after misfiring an [[BFG artillery piece]].

** One that stands above everything is the meeting in Hynkel's office. Garbitsch has set up everything for Napaloni to be intimidated: he'd have to reach Hynkel's desk from the other side of the [[UnnecessarilyLargeSpace enormous office]], and would be made sit near Hynkel's bust and in such a position where he'd have to look up to him to see his eyes... And then Napaloni barges in from ''behind Hynkel'' and salutes him with a manly slap on the back, and continues ruining the whole effort and intimidating Hynkel (and injurying Garbitsch) by ''being friendly''.

* Hynkel and Benzino constantly trying to one-up each other.

* Hynkel's dance with a balloon globe. Never before was AdolfHitler's megalomania punctured with such graceful comedy.

** The best part is that it is ''entirely'' [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign pseudo-Germanic rubbish]] including random words such as "sauerkraut" and "baloney" and the BlackSpeech is so difficult to pronounce that Hynkel descends into coughing fits twice.
