** Jack's choice of bedtime reading material, which spans the spectrum from A Christmas Carol to The Scientific Method to something called "Bobo Gets a Firetruck." For some reason, the latter is several times thicker than A Christmas Carol.

They don't know what the Easter Bunny looks like or is at that point, only that they're supposed to kidnap someone behind a door.

* The deliberately un-magical, boring voice Jack speaks with when he's alone and/or depressed, juxtaposed with the posh, boisterous voice he sings or addresses his citizens with. Chris Sarandon does a great job sounding like they literally pulled some guy off the street to read those lines.
* When [[TerribleTrio Lock, Shock, and Barrel]] accidentally bring in the Easter Bunny, from the first "That's not Sandy Claws..." to "BUNNY!" Sure, [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment it has no relevance to the plot]], but ''damn'' was it funny.

* A brief one, but Jack's expression when Santa Claus flies out of Oogie's lair when all is said and done. You can practically hear him saying "I didn't know he could do that."

* When Sally goes to free Santa from Oogie's lair, she distracts the villain by taking off one of her legs to lure him over in a typical [[BuffySpeak cartoon-dame-looking-for-a-ride-into-town]] way. Oogie comments on this admiringly, elbowing Santa in a way that says, "Hey, would'ja look at that hottie?" Then he spits in his hand with an audible ''ptooey'' sound and slicks back hair ''that he doesn't even have''.
