3* The entire montage of Jupiter and her pro bono android lawyer dealing with the VastBureaucracy in order to get her officially recognized as the rightful owner of Earth. Highlights include:
4** Despite being an ''android'', Advocate Bob progressively losing his composure after dealing with one ObstructiveBureaucrat too many. He just seems to short-circuit after a particularly bad moment! But then again he's played by Creator/SamuelBarnett so.....
5** The absurdly obvious way in which Advocate Bob [[BribingYourWayToVictory bribes a bureaucrat]] to cut through the red tape.
6** Bob's awkward encounter with another android of the same model as him. They clearly have history but [[NoodleIncident neither Jupiter nor the audience get to hear any of the details.]]
7* Jupiter's uncle's reaction to his son convincing Jupiter to sell her eggs.
8-->[''While hitting him [[PunctuatedPounding repeatedly]] with a pillow''] ''Your cousin is not a '''chicken!!''' You do '''not''' treat your cousin like '''chicken!!'''''
9* This exchange between Caine and Jupiter: (paraphrased)
10-->'''Caine:''' …Your Majesty, I have more in common with a dog than I have with you.\
11'''Jupiter:''' I love dogs. I've always loved dogs.
12* After suffering from many UndressingTheUnconscious incidents, we have a frustrated Jupiter telling the crew of the ''Aegis'' that she would like to change her clothes while she is alone, and conscious, for once.
13* Balem Abrasax. The character is so over the top that it's hard not to laugh at every single thing he says or does.
14-->'''Balem:''' I CREATE LIFE!!! [-…and I destroy it.-]
15** To quote Creator/NathanRabin in his [[http://www.avclub.com/article/must-love-dogs-case-file-42-jupiter-ascending-222600 article about the film:]]
16--->"With ''Jupiter Ascending'' and ''Film/TheTheoryOfEverything'', Creator/EddieRedmayne has the curious distinction of winning the most prestigious award in acting and giving the year's worst performance in the same 12-month span. When I write that Redmayne gives 2015's worst performance, I mean that partially as praise and partially as criticism: It takes a genius to get away with delivering a performance this spectacularly embarrassing and misconceived. […] His turn in ''Jupiter Ascending'' is unforgettable and utterly distinctive, but in a bizarre, nightmarish way. […] Redmayne is both the best and worst thing about ''Jupiter Ascending'', and certainly the most wildly excessive."
17* Stinger's PardonMyKlingon.
18-->'''Stinger:''' Beeswax!
19* Bees having been genetically engineered to recognize royalty is a comical plot twist, to say the least.
20* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv8ZxMrV0OE GOOOO!]]
