4* Ash getting beaten up by ''his own hand''.
5** Earlier, the cause of it, Deadite Linda's head bites Ash's hand. [[OverlyLongGag He spends several minutes trying to get the damn thing off him]].
6** It later spies a meat cleaver on the floor nearby, and proceeds to laboriously drag the unconscious Ash after it.
7** And the hand actually [[FlippingTheBird flips him off]] (pictured right), after Ash manages to amputate it with his chainsaw.
8** And after he cuts it off and traps it under a bucket, he puts a stack of books on the bucket to keep it down. The book on top? ''Literature/AFarewellToArms''. [[StealthPun Good one.]]
9* The flying eyeball gag. According to the commentary, a group of teens had to run out of a screening of the film because they were laughing so hard.
10* The Blood Walls scene, if for no other reason than the amount of blood sprayed on him and [[CrossesTheLineTwice how long it takes]]. Sam Raimi even reversed the film at some points to make the scene last even ''longer.'' Ash's expression once it's over isn't so much horrified as it is confused.
11** Later in the same scene, the mutual WTF look Jake and Ash exchange after they've both piled onto the trapdoor to hold it shut is pretty funny.
12* Believing Ash is still possessed, Annie starts swinging an axe at him, but Ash is apparently able to talk her down and convince her that he's finally himself again. And then she takes yet another swing at him.
13-->"DAMMIT! I SAID I WAS ''ALRIGHT!'' Are you listening to me?! Do you hear what I'm saying?! I'M ''ALL RIGHT!!'' ...I'm alright."
14* "That's right! Who's laughing now?''''' WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?!'''''"
15* Henrietta proves that EvilIsHammy with nearly every line she says:
16--> "SOMEONE'S IN MY FRUIT CEL-LAR! SOMEONE WITH A FRESH ''SOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUULLLLRRRGGHHH!"''
17** Not to mention Ash's [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl reaction]] when he first encounters her in the cellar.
18* After Ash decapitates Henreitta's mutated form, she still isn't quite done yet, leading to the following exchange:
19--> '''Deadite Henreitta''': Hey! [[YourSoulIsMine I'll swallow your soul!]] [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment I'll swallow your soul!]] [[RuleofThree I'll swallow your soul!]] [[BrokenRecord I'll--]] ''[Ash steps on her neck]'' Ack!
20--> '''Ash''': [[PreMortemOneLiner Swallow]] [[VerbTHIS this]]. ''[BoomHeadshot]''
21** The "Hey!" is what really does it, like it was just a point that couldn't be overstated. That, and the "WOOOOAGH!" as he explodes her head with his boomstick.
22** Henrietta's BattleCry, along with her wild [[Wrestling/HulkHogan Hulk Hogan-esque]] [[MilkingTheGiantCow fist-shaking]] before she goes OneWingedAngel:
23--->'''Deadite Henrietta:''' ''[[LargeHam UUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!]]''
24* If not regarded as NightmareFuel, the scene with the entire cabin laughing at Ash, especially when he mimics the movement of a laughing lamp. You could also interpret it as both Ash and the Deadites taking a break from the MindScrew madness to have [[ActuallyPrettyFunny a jolly laugh]] over Ash breaking a chair he tried to sit on.
25** The laughing lamp in particular sounds a lot like ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}.
26* There isn't much ''mundane'' humor in this movie, but the smug expression Annie fires back at Jake after he's agreed to carry her bags is both revealing - yeah, we all ''knew'' he'd be hauling a huge load in the next scene - and amusing. In the commentary, upon seeing Sarah Berry's evil-looking smile, they express regret that they didn't have the foresight to have her become a Deadite, and admit she'd have made a great one.
27* The DVD Commentary featuring Bruce, Sam, Greg Nicotero (Special Makeup Effects), and Scott Spiegel (Co-writer). Not only do they provide fun facts about the film (such as an intended rehashed beginning with recasted Scotty, Cheryl, and Shelly) but they also throw jokes around, lampshade damn near ''everything'', and generally have a good time with it.
28--> '''Sam Raimi''': ''[while discussing the scene where Ash is flung down the stairs to the cellar]'' Bruce wouldn't let me throw him down the steps.
29--> '''Bruce''': "I'm afraid, Sam! For the first time in my life, I'm afraid!"
30--> '''Sam''': I said, "Bruce, don't be afraid." And he started crying.
31* The "Making of" featurette on the DVD has a pretty hilarious moment when Deadite Henrietta (played by Ted Raimi) comes out of the cellar screaming "I'm free!"....before tripping and falling over because he couldn't see with the pure white contacts on.
