* Although it's supposed to be [[NightmareFuel traumatic]] on paper, there's something [[BlackComedy darkly funny]] about Harley's last words before he's swallowed up by the quicksand is to curse Wilkens' name, testifying of the man's incompetence even in death.
-->'''Harley:''' (gurgling as he sinks) Damn you...! Wilkens...!

* Although an intense scene, when Colonel Brydon tells Doctor Plumford that Sher Khan has possibly attacked one of their men Clayborne, the good Doctor makes a point to say in the most sincerely casual voice "Clayborne, right, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I'll see to it]]!" You'd think Colonel Brydon had just told him Clayborne was nipped by a dog instead of '''mauled by a tiger'''.

* Colonel Brydon's disdain for elephants.
-->'''Colonel Brydon:''' This would be a damn fine country if it weren't for all the ''bloody elephants''!



* At a party, Mowgli catches a fly, looks over at two girls, smiles, and then seemingly eats it. The girls walk away in disgust. When they're gone, Mowgli reveals the fly completely unharmed, [[NotSoAboveItAll he just pretended to eat it to gross them out]].

* Colonel Brydon's disdain for elephants. What's even funnier is, in all the fifteen years he and his daughter were stationed in India, you'd think he'd be used to them by now.

* When Tabaki dies from [[NightmareFuel falling off a cliff]], the scene is silent for a moment before Kitty casually remarks "[[SarcasmMode What a shame]]." The collective bad guys [[EvenEvilHasStandards shoots her a confused look]] at her treating this rather callously.

Added DiffLines:

* Dr. Plumford's (unsuccessful) attempt at giving Mowgli a nice, hot, English bath. We see a curtain drawn as the good doctor assures Mowgli, followed the off-screen sound of splashing and yelps. When the dust has settled, an exceptionally wet and soapy Dr. Plumford emerges, unamused at what has just happened.

* Wilkin's complaining about the jungle, whilst we see Mowgli riding an elephant elsewhere with a laid-back expression.

* "Oh my goodness, there's a spider-monkey with a moustache! He's got a white hat on and a linen suit."
* Colonel Brydon's disdain for elephants.

* Any scene with King Louie.
** Louie clapping and the monkeys cheering after Boone was killed by Kaa borders on BlackComedy.
** Speaking of King Louie, this exchange when Mowgli sees a painting of King Louis of France:
--->'''Mowgli:''' I have seen this hat.\\
'''Kitty:''' That's King Louie.\\
'''Mowgli:''' King Louie? If you see him, tell him I know who took his hat.
* "Man, woman, woman. One man, two women. Lucky man."
* Mowgli learning the alphabet, especially the way he pronounces certain letters like "C" and "R".
* Boone's reaction to Harvey's death by quicksand is hilariously callous:
-->'''Boone:''' Oh, well; let's not be discouraged by every little thing.
