Go To

1* The hapless would-be robber who tries holding up a [[DonutMessWithACop donut shop full of cops]]. The clerk quips, "[[SarcasmMode what's it like being]] [[ThisAintRocketSurgery a rocket scientist]]?"
2** "Isn't someone going to arrest me?"
3* [=RoboCop=]'s FlashedBadgeHijack. It starts with Robo requesting a car from a pimp who's looking the other way. The pimp turns around pissed and holding a switchblade, [[OhCrap sees RoboCop]] and obediently gives up the car keys.
4** The mere sight of ''[[TheComicallySerious [=RoboCop=] driving a pimp-mobile]]''.
5* The POV shots of the rebels, only one of whom is qualified, trying to fix Robocop. This includes Bertha getting the wrong heart and Moreno accidentally causing a leak with a drill.
6* [[OneSceneWonder Leon]], a conspiracy theorist arguing with Sergeant Reed.
7-->'''Leon''': Sarge, you got a [=RoboCop=], you got an alien cop? You got a ghost cop? You got a vampire cop?\
8'''Reed''': Leon, I told you I don't have time for this.
9** The fact that Reed is on FirstNameBasis with Leon, implying this is something he deals with regularly.
10* [=RoboCop=] casually waltzing into the police station and talking to Sergeant Reed, while his arm currently has its machine-gun attachment.
11-->'''Reed''': Murphy!\
12'''Robo''': Good evening, Sergeant Reed.\
13'''Reed''': Did you know there's a warrant out for your arrest? \
14'''Robo''': *''{{beat}}''* Yes. \
15'''Reed''': Just checking. What can I do for you?\
16'''Robo''': Please direct me to the Rehab staging area.\
17'''Reed''': *''smiles as he realizes what's about to happen''* It's just down the hall. You can't miss it.\
18'''Robo''': Thank you. *''steps towards the door and then pauses''* You may want to call the fire department.
19* Johnson's small scale VillainousBreakdown when all the cops quit is hilarious.
20-->(''as cops start filing out'') "You can't do this. ''[more cops walk out]'' You are employees of OCP, remember that. ''[most of the cops leave]'' [[{{Narm}} You are jeopardizing your retirement benefits!]]"
21** If you've watched the previous film, you'll realise this is all bluster because OCP has ''already'' cancelled the cops' pensions.
22* The series' penchant for biting social commentary continues, with the [[http://youtu.be/qUsThuE2NtE blatantly manipulative Delta City commercial]], and the hiliariously propagandist [[http://youtu.be/fprEdlSn9Tc Johnny Rehab]] [[MerchandiseDriven commercial]]. Doubly funny after [[ANaziByAnyOtherName the audience has seen what monsters the Rehabs truly are]].
23** Where the cartoon fits within the film is also amusing, since it depicts Johnny Rehab beating up a bunch of Splatterpunks immediately after the scene where [=McDaggett=] has recruited them.
24* Robocop enters a hotel looking for [=McDaggett=] and asks the manager where his room is, then thanks the manager and tells him he hopes the hotel is insured, as Robo plans to shoot the place up.
25** Moments later, a Rehap agent pulls out his pistol on Robocop, who promptly shoots it out of his hand and keeps it suspended in midair for several seconds with sustained gunfire, leaving the agent with a simple warning, "Don't."
