1* Jordan's first wife berating and slapping the shit out of him when she finds him having sex with Naomi. It's extremely cathartic and is the first (and unfortunately last) time Jordan feels any guilt over his actions.
2* When we’re introduced to Jean-Jacques Saurel, after a ton of small talk we get Jordan’s usual smug internal monologue but then we get Jean ''responding'' to him with his own, while giving a look that clearly gets the message across to Jordan.
3-->'''Jordan''': (Narrating, losing patience) What I'm asking, you Swiss dick, is "Are you going to fuck me over?"
4-->'''Saurel''': (Also narrating, smug) I understand perfectly, you American shit.
5* The miniature odyssey that occurs while Jordan and Donnie are in the "cerebral palsy" phase of intoxication from the delayed-action qualudes—in addition to being side-splittingly hilarious—is a masterpiece of MundaneMadeAwesome. Somehow, despite having barely any voluntary control over his body and being high out of his mind, Jordan uses every ounce of willpower and desperation to crawl on his belly towards his car, drive back to his house (miraculously, without killing anybody), and at the end of all these misadventures to save Donnie from choking to death on a piece of food.
6* At the end of the film when Denham and his men arrest Jordan while he's in the middle of filming an infomercial and Jordan keeps yelling at them.
7-->'''Denham:''' Hey Jordan, let me give you a little legal advice: [[PrecisionFStrike shut the fuck up]]!
