Go To

1* The ''entire'' MushroomSamba sequence. Special mention must go to when Jables and [[ItMakesSenseInContext his Sasquatch father]] go to the Strawberry River. Jables is just happily drifting down the river made of juice on a dinghy... [[ContrastMontage cut to the real world, where he's fallen into a strong river and likely]] ''[[ContrastMontage drowning]]'', [[ContrastMontage but is too high to even notice! Oh, and the song he sings he does while on holding onto a tree branch.]]
2* Kage's flashback to his childhood, if only for that silly walk he does. Kyle Gass apparently taught the child actor how to walk like him.
3* This exchange
4-->'''Cripple:''' Come over here. I'm going to fucking stab you.\
5'''Kage:''' ...[[FlatWhat What?]]\
6'''Jables:''' ...No, we're not coming over there.\
7'''Cripple:''' Fine. Stay where you are, then. I'm going to come over ''there!'' ''(starts shuffling forward)'' I'm going to slice out your eyes... and your balls... and then I am going to stick your eyes in your ballsacks... and then I will take your balls... and I will put them... in your eye-holes!\
8'''Kage:''' ''(to Jables)'' Dude, we could totally outrun him.\
9'''Jables:''' Totally, let's bail.\
10''(They run. A little later, police arrive in response to the theft of the pick.)''\
11'''Cripple:''' ''Catch me if you can!''\
12''(They do so effortlessly.)''
13* The Bong of destiny.
14* "I need a tight compadre who will teach me how to rock/My father thinks you're evil, but man, he can suck a cock!" All said in a sweet hopeful tone befitting a sympathetic hero.
15* Almost every single word out of the Devil's mouth.
16-->"'''''You guys are fucking LAME!'''''"
17** In addition, almost every single word out of the Devil's mouth [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOhFZGOjNS4 in the censored version]].
18-->"'''''DANG! DRAT! Fuuudge!'''''"
19** Even funnier is that the devil is played by Dave Grohl, one of the nicest and sweetest men in rock and roll.
20* The first verse of "Master Exploder"
21-->I do not need! ''(He does not need...)''\
22A microphone! ''(A microphone!)''\
23My voice is FUCKIN'! ''(Fuckin!)''\
24'''''POWERFUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLL!'''''
25** During this sequence, Jables' voice is shown to be [[VisualPun literally "mind blowing"]] - as he holds a note, an audience member's brain explodes out of the back of his skull. His date expresses no concern and continues to watch the performance in awe.
26* After JB and KG's near-breakup after KG is exposed as a fraud, Lee, who has been off camera for most of the incident, reveals that he's been there the whole time and looks upon their matching ass birthmarks in wonderment:
27-->'''Lee:''' ''You guys... look!''
28* Ben Stiller's hammy performance as the music store clerk. Especially when he lights his Zippo in the dark room and dramatically makes a TitleDrop, followed by KG turning on the lights.
29-->'''Clerk:''' No, don't... ''(angrily closes his lighter)'' Have a seat.
30* The open mic host's ItWasWithYouAllAlong speech, spoken tenderly in contrast to the subject matter.
31-->'''Open Mic Host:''' ''(regarding Satan)'' He's that little voice in your head that says ''fuck you'' to the people you hate.
32* Jables offering KG, and only KG, as Satan's prize should he win the rock-off. It's done in song, but there's a brief exchange done in prose when KG protests:
33-->'''KG:''' [[BigWhat WHAT?]]\
34'''Jables:''' Trust me, Kage! It's the only way.
35* As in the show, Lee is a massive fan and loves Tenacious D about a hundred times more than anyone around him. During "History", while the rest of the patrons are either somewhat into it or completely unimpressed, Lee can be see shaking his head in disbelief of how awesome they are.
36* The break-in to the Rock and Roll History Museum. Jables thinks he's being a ninja, then we cut to him showing up on ''every'' security camera. The reason he isn't caught immediately? The security guards are too busy sharing blatantly false tales of their badassary while passing around a joint.
37* The [[ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman contrived]] situation that puts Jables at waist height to a laser shutdown button but unable to move. KG, advises on a ChekhovsSkill from earlier: "The cock... use... the cock." What makes this is that he says it in a dramatic MentorArchetype voice.
