1!!! ''Astro Boy'' (2009 film)
2
3* Astro's stunned reaction to the first time his rocket boots fire, including a hilarious expression and a wonderfully prompt (and pretty harsh) slap to his own face.
4** And then as shock becomes delight he tries to zip off heroically - only to briefly ''forget how to power the jets'' and, on reactivating them, slam himself backwards into a building and then straight up through its stone facade.
5* A soldier trying to use windshield wipers when Astro crashes into his ship. Astro's look of sheer annoyance is priceless.
6** Astro gets caught by several gunships, but starts pulling them behind him. A warning on one soldier’s visor flashes EXTREME DANGER!!, then switches to DINNER RETURNING.
7* While trying to catch Astro, one of the ships accidentally snatches up a dog, a tablecloth, and a woman accepting a proposal:
8-->'''Soldier:''' "Uh...I'm just gonna take these back."
9** Best of all, the woman doesn't even care she got snatched.
10--->'''Woman:''' ''[dangling from ship]'' '''''I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!'''''
11* Trash Can the robot dog's [[spoiler:final attempt to "out" Toby as a robot, spelling out on the ground in huge letters "HE'S A ROBOT!" with an arrow pointing to Astro/Toby to Zane. Made funnier when Zane shrugs, "Almost makes me wish I could read."]]
12* When the RRF 'rescue' Astro.
13--> '''Cora''': What just happened?
14* "Hey! I'm voting for the other guy!"
15* When Astro discovers his "accessories".
16--> '''Astro''': What? I got ''machine guns?'' In my ''butt?!''
17** The best part about the machine guns? [[ContinuityNod They were always there in each continuity of Astro Boy as silly as it may seem.]]
18** And the first use of his {{Arm Cannon}}s: "Hah! Cool!" ''*blam!*'' [goes flying backwards] "WHOAAA! AHH!"
19* When Astro saves one of the guy's after him, and then has to deal with the reinforcements.
20--> '''Astro''': What's with you guys?
21--> '''Guard''': I love you!
22* Any scene involving the Robot Revolutionary Front.
23* The President as the GiantMecha. Everything out of his mouth is pure hilarious DeadpanSnarker.
24
25!!! '''2003 series'''
26* From the first episode, the Inspector asks Dr. O'Shay about the blackout caused by reviving Astro. His explanation? "I can't sleep with the lights on."
27* Anytime someone bangs down Tenma's door. Made better by his sheer calmness about it.
28--> '''Tenma''': ''(surrounded by police)'' So many visitors. And I didn't even make tea.
29* Shibugaki's expression after learning Astro can't join them on an adventure in one of the episodes.
30* Astro being the only one to express his willingness to join Friday's fairy hunting - while the others were freaked out at first.
31* Some of Tenma's creeper moments qualify as well.
32--> '''Tenma''': ''(disturbing grin)'' Always a pleasure.
33--> '''Astro''': You're creepy.
34* Astro Boy continues to sass Dr. Tenma.
35--> '''Astro''': ''(on Tenma's StalkerWithoutACrush tendencies)'' Don't you have anything better to do?
36
37!!! '''Original Manga'''
38* [[http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpyd60voS11qinrdfo1_500.jpg This]] moment from the "Astro Reborn" arc.
39* There's a scene in one volume where Astro's school friends try to rescue him from a villain in what's generally a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, but at one point their choice of taunt to the villain just comes off as hilarious for some reason: "We're going to cut off [[BeardOfEvil your beard]] and throw it in the garbage can!"
40* In Hamegg's robot circus, someone asks Astro to point out the good and bad people in the room. He immediately declares Hamegg the worst of all.
41* Towards the end of the "Greatest Robot on Earth" arc, Astro and Pluto finally begin their last duel at the top of a volcano, but when it's about to erupt, Astro immediately starts picking up large rocks to prevent an eruption that would destroy the surrounding settlements. Pluto and Boro, [[CripplingOverspecialization designed only for combat]], refuse to help him. Professor Ochanomizu's frustration is priceless:
