6	* Really, Mater provides pretty much all the Funny in this film.
7	** Lightning and Sally, having caught on to Mater's attempt to crash their date, mess with him by ordering "the usual". Mater immediately runs inside to where Guido is bartending.
8	--->'''Mater:''' Guido! What's Lightning [=McQueen's=] usual?!\
9	'''Guido:''' [''in Italian''] How should I know?\
10	'''Mater:''' [[LanguageBarrier Perfect! Gimme two of 'em!]]
11	** He tries to crash Lightning's and Sally's date at the Wheel Well by posing as a waiter. He even tries a drink at one point, hates the taste, nonchalantly ''spits it back out into the cup'', then almost serves it to Lightning!
12	--->'''Mater:''' [[ImplausibleDeniability I didn't taste it!]]
13	** Mater gets some drinks for Lightning at the free bar in Japan. When Mater isn't convinced the "pistachio ice cream" is wasabi, the sushi vendor scoops only a little bit as a warning, then much to Mator's demand puts in bigger servings until it reaches a big plopping. Those who tried their first wasabi [[BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce knows what's coming a mile away]].
14	--->'''Sushi vendor:''' ''(in Japanese)'' My condolences.
15	** Mater then embarrasses himself by rushing to a fountain to wash off the burning sensation off his mouth, just as Axlerod welcomes [=McQueen=] to the stage.
16	--->'''Miles Axlerod''': And now our last competitor, #95! Lightning [=McQueen=]!\
17	'''Lightning [=McQueen=]''': Kachow! Thanks for having me, Sir Axelrod. I really look forward to racing. It's a great opportunity.\
18	'''Miles Axlerod''': The pleasure's all ours, Lightning. You and your team bring excellence and professionalism to this competition--\
19	'''Mater''': '''''AAAAAHHH!!!!!!!''''' (''dashes toward the stage with a piercing scream of pain'') Somebody get me water! (''laps the stage fountain wildly'') Oh, sweet relief! Sweet relief! (''[=McQueen=]'s eyes shift with embarrassment; from the crowd, Francesco laughs; Mater, now sated, approaches the mic'') Whatever you do, do ''NOT'' eat the free pistachio ice cream! It has '''''TURNED!'''''
20	** The entirety of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23I4IMZpx1Y the bathroom scene]]. Mater simply [[LanguageBarrier couldn't understand Japanese]].
21	---> '''Mater''': Whatever you do, I would '''NOT''' go in there.
22	** The scene where Mater actually freaks out after seeing a car with headlights for eyes in Paris.
23	*** What made this scene is that this is seemingly a reference to the decision to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cars_%28film%29#Animation avoid that sort of character design]] during development of the original ''Cars'' as it made characters look like "snakes".
24	** The bathroom scene is also funny because Mater unknowingly saves Rod "Torque" Redline from being hit by Acer.
25	* This little bit during the phone call on TV.
26	-->''(Francesco Bernoulli is a guest on Mel Dorado's TV show; Mater called in to argue with Bernoulli, and [=McQueen=] takes the phone)''
27	-->'''Lightning''': [over the phone] Yeah, hi, this is Lightning [=McQueen=].
28	-->'''Francesco''': The Lightning [=McQueen=], eh?!
29	-->'''Lightning''': Look, I don't appreciate my best friend being insulted like that.
30	-->'''Francesco''': [=McQueen=], that was your best friend? Ohhh... There's a difference between you and Francesco! Francesco knows how good he is. He doesn't have to surround himself with tow trucks to prove it.
31	-->'''Lightning''': Hey, those are uh, strong words from a car that is so fragile.
32	-->'''Francesco''': ''[[Film/AChristmasStory FRA-JILL-AY!]]'' [[BerserkButton HE CALLS-A FRANCESCO]] ''[[BerserkButton FRA-JILL-AY!?]]'' Not-a so fast, [=McQueen=]!
33	-->'''Lightning''': "Not so fast." What is that? Your new motto?
34	-->'''Francesco''': Motto?! ''[Rants and curses rapidly in Italian]'' ''...PROGRAMMA RIDICULO!!''
35	-->''(Francesco continues his rant but gets gets muted by the TV censors, and storms off-camera)''
36	** Even funnier, while Axlerod is inviting Lightning to come to the Grand Prix, Francesco comes back and does what can easily be the car equivalent of [[FlippingTheBird giving someone the finger]] with his back wheels.
37	* Lightning and Mater are driving through Tokyo and at one point, they catch sight of Lightning being advertised as a vacuum cleaner (Lightning [=McClean=]), causing both to crack up.
38	* Just before the Tokyo race begins:
39	-->'''Lightning:''' Speed... I...am...speed.
40	-->'''Francesco:''' ''[laughs]'' Really? You are speed? Then, Francesco is ''triple'' speed. ''[imitating Lightning's pre-race ritual]'' [[BorrowedCatchphrase Francesco...is triple speed!]] Ho-ho! Francesco likes-a this [=McQueen=]! It's-a ''really'' getting him into the zone!
41	-->'''Lightning:''' ''[to himself]'' [[PreAssKickingOneLiner He is SO getting beat today!]]
42	* Francesco insulting Lightning at the press conference following his win at the Tokyo race:
43	-->'''Francesco:''' ''Strategia?'' Francesco needs-a no strategy, it's-a very simple: You start the race, wait for Lightning [=McQueen=] to choke, pass him, then win! Francesco ''always-a'' wins. It's-a boring...
44	** And then the view cuts to Lightning who just heard this mean statement. He rolls his eyes and frowns with extreme annoyance, as if to say "YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe".
45	* Mater and Finn [=McMissile=] introducing themselves to each other:
46	-->'''Finn:''' Finn [=McMissile=], British Intelligence.
47	-->'''Mater:''' Tow Mater, average intelligence.
48	* Mater tries to explain his CarFu skills to Finn.
49	-->'''Mater:''' I can reach into a car’s hood, pull out his battery, [[AndShowItToYou and show it to him before he stalls.]] I call it “[[NoodleIncident What I Accidentally Did To My Friend Luigi Once.]]”
50	* When Finn and Mater are being chased by the evil lemons outside of the airport in Tokyo, After Siddeley the spy jet lands, Mater sees Holley and hurries to her with the lines of, “Hey it’s my imaginary girlfriend! Boy you sure want this date, don’t you? That’s a no quit attitude right there!” While giving a wink at her.
51	** When Finn asks Mater if Hugos and Trunkovs are considered [[TheAllegedCar lemons]], he replies "[[IsTheAnswerToThisQuestionYes Is the Popemobile Catholic?]]". Becomes funnier when we later see that said Popemobile is riding in another popemobile.
52	** Mater's postscript in his goodbye letter:
53	-->'''Luigi''': "P.S. Please tell the hotel I didn't mean to order that movie. I thought it was just a preview and I didn't realize I was paying for it."
54	* Before the race in Italy when the Italian car is talking to Lightning about how he misses his mom when he's over seas.
55	-->'''Francesco''': Of course, I am at home. And my mama is right here. Camera pans to show his mom in the crowd
56	* After escaping from the Lemons, Maters ends flying through a palm tree and crashing into a Francesco memorabilia stand before trying to get through security to warn Lightning that the Lemons are targeting him, leading to a funny exchange between him and the security guards.
57	-->'''Mater:''' ''(Running through the crowd to the security gate while covered in palm leaves and Francesco memorabilia)'' You gotta let me in! I gotta get through to warn [=McQueen=]!\
58	'''Security Guard:''' You cannot-a come through here! Back up, Signore.\
59	'''Security Guard 2:''' ''(Into his headset)'' We have a lunatic at Gate Nueva.\
60	'''Mater:''' No, listen! I was disguised as a tow truck to infiltrate this Lemonhead meetin', and my weapons system's done misinterperated what I'm sayin'!\
61	'''Security Guard 2:''' ''(Into his headset)'' I repeat. Lunatic at Gate Nueva.
62	* Francesco's reaction when Mater speeds past him with his booster rockets and Lightning on tow in the London race.
63	-->'''Francesco:''' ''[shocked]'' What is happening?! It's a bad dream!
64	** [[BrickJoke Happens again]] when Holley flys past Francesco later in the same scene in pursuit of Lightning and Mater.
65	-->'''Francesco:''' ''[freaking out]'' '''''[[LargeHam WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!?!]]'''''
66	** [[RuleofThree Happens yet again]] when Mater rockets past him during the Radiator Springs race at the end of the movie.
67	-->'''Francesco:''' ''[shocked again]'' IMPOSSIBILE!
68	* [=McQueen=] LockedOutOfTheLoop.
69	--> '''Professor Zündapp''': ''(all tied up and held prisoner by Finn)'' [[YouExclamation YOU!]] Why didn’t my death ray kill you?!
70	--> '''[=McQueen=]''': ''[completely incredulous]'' DEATH RAY?!
71	** Plus,
72	--->'''[=McQueen=]:''' I'm going out on a limb here: these are the guys that want me dead, correct?\
73	'''Vladimir Trunkov:''' It's nothing personal.
74	* During his knighting ceremony Mater realises he hasn't yet made the proper introductions, leading to the following:
75	-->'''Mater:''' [=McQueen=], Queen. Queen, [=McQueen=]. [=McQueen=], [=McMissile=]. [=McMissile=], [=McQueen=]. Queen, [=McMissile=].
76	* "[[SuddenlyShouting Everybody!]] This is Finn [=McMissile!=] He's a secret agent! [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Don't tell nobody!]]"
77	* "Guido believe you now."
78	* While tearing through Radiator Springs on his new jet engines, he comes across the car he towed in the beginning of the movie. He tows him to the shop, hooking him so fast he pulls him right out from under the dust he'd accumulated.
79	* "Ka-ciao, Francesco!"
