3	* Merlin's enchanted sugarbowl during the scene at Merlin's cottage. First it overfills Merlin's cup of tea because he didn't tell it to stop, then when everything is being packed, it cuts in line and causes everything to back up, even battering the rest of Merlin's possessions back with its spoon as if fighting an army, until Merlin halts the line and tells it off for hitting the teapot. As soon as Merlin gets back into position, the sugarbowl childishly gives the teapot one final whack.
4	** Then when Merlin uses it to catch rain water in the rickety old tower during a downpour, it indignantly bails the water out of itself and puts its lid back on.
5	* Pretty much all of "Higitus Figitus": The lyrics, the melody, the action during the song, and Karl Swenson's performance all add up to make this possibly the funniest song in the entire Disney Canon.
6	* Merlin asks Arthur what part he was up to in "Higitus Figitus". After Arthur answers "Hockety-pockety?" Merlin continues the song at almost double speed.
7	* Archimedes nearly getting crushed inside his house as it's shrunk by Merlin.
8	-->'''Archimedes:''' Watch it, watch it, oooh, oooh, ugh, you, you, you - bungling blockhead!
9	* The last item that goes in Merlin's bag is the stool he's standing on. Merlin lets out a yelp as he gets swept off his feet by the stool going inside.
10	* Merlin's wand tangling up in his beard, causing him to try to pull it out, resulting in a gigantic puff.
11	-->'''Merlin:''' Now, don't get any foolish ideas that magic will solve all your problems, because it won't.\
12	'''Wart:''' But I don't have any problems!\
13	'''Merlin:''' Bah, everyone has problems, the world is full of problems...\
14	''(Merlin's beard gets stuck in the door)''\
15	'''Merlin:''' Ooh, blast it all, there, now you see what I mean!\
16	''(Merlin manages to get his beard out of the door, only to have it wrap around his face and his cane.)''\
17	'''Merlin:''' Gah! ''(pulls his cane out, causing his beard to turn into a huge puff.)''
18	* ''Everything'' about the wolf. He could share notes with Wile E. Coyote; he just can't catch a break! Just one example involving that poor canine: when the wolf, exhausted after chasing Arthur and Merlin, drags himself to the top of the hill, then sees that they doubled back on him, then passes out.
19	* Merlin introducing Archimedes to Ector when they first meet.
20	-->'''Merlin:''' My name is Merlin. And this is Archimedes, the highly educated owl.\
21	''[Archimedes clears throat, stands tall and thrusts out chest]''\
22	'''Ector:''' '''''Educated owl?!''''' Har-har! A-whoo! Say, that's a good one!\
23	''[Archimedes, annoyed, flies off to perch on the antler of a deer with his back to the room]''
24	* Kay's [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight reaction]] to Merlin's summoned blizzard. Inside a castle. In ''summer''.
25	* Sir Pellinore [[RunningGag bristling his mustache whenever he gets wine on it]].
26	* Kay somehow loses a jousting match... ''[[EpicFail against a training dummy.]]''
27	-->'''Sir Ector:''' Can't you remember one blasted thing?! Great grip on the lance, loosen the saddle, knees in tight, weight forward and stay on target! You keep losing your grip!
28	* Merlin says that Archimedes is always cranky the morning after he stays up late. Wart laughs and quips that Archimedes must stay up ''every'' night, then. It takes Merlin a second to get it, but he chuckles at that, with Archimedes doing his usual "WHAT WHAT?!"as he hears this StealthInsult before Merlin changes the subject.
29	* The LampshadeHanging Merlin gives about their predicament after escaping the [[NightmareFuel pike]], with a knight's helmet wedged tight on his head, as he's struggling to dry himself off.
30	--> "What in thunder is a monster like ''that'' doing in the moat?!"
31	** Sir Ector's response to Wart's story of fighting the pike.
32	--->'''Sir Ector:''' He's either out of his head or there's something mighty [[{{Pun}} fishy]] going on here.
33	* A drenched Archimedes shakes himself dry only to have his [[FluffyDryCat feathers pluff]].
34	-->"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYHFkAsWBOg&t=2m0s Pinfeathers and gullyfluff!]]"
35	** Before that, Merlin ribbing Archimedes about risking his life to save Wart from the pike, and Archimedes insists that [[BlatantLies he wasn't trying to save Wart]], but trying to ''eat'' him.
36	--->'''Archimedes:''' Young perch is my favourite fish, ''you know that!''
37	* When the fat squirrel pursues Merlin:
38	** "Now look here. I am not a boy. [[ThatCameOutWrong I-I mean]], I'm not a squirrel, I'm a boy... I'm an old man. An old HU--MAN!!" (As the fat squirrel grabs him around the waist.)
39	** "Madam! MA-DAM!!"
40	** And the fat squirrel's horrified and outraged reaction when Merlin changes back into a human. The younger squirrel's reaction to Arthur changing back, [[TearJerker on the other hand...]]
41	*** "THERE!!! Now you see? I'm an ugly, horrible, grouchy old man!!!" This scares her up the tree, here she makes an indignant, disgusted "well I never" sound. To which Merlin responds by ''barking at her'', which sends her screaming for the treetops.
42	*** And when being tickled he starts to say "I'm a stupid old-!"
43	** Early on in the sequence, Wart tries to hide from the girl squirrel in Merlin's tail. Merlin helpfully shows her where to look, pointing as he continues to speak to Wart as if giving him a lesson.
44	** During his chase with the girl squirrel, Wart angers a woodpecker in its nest, with the woodpecker repeatedly pecking his head. His running about eventually has himself and the girl squirrel running all over the sleeping Archimedes, with the annoyed woken owl shouting "Oh, you squirrelly squirrels!!!" as they run away
45	** Merlin is juggling his acorn around in a way that would do the Harlem Globetrotters proud, being incredibly smug as he sings about the confusing and infuriating nature of love. Then he notices the older fat squirrel making eyes at him. He fumbles his acorn and looks at the audience, finishing the song with a tone of "help me!"
46	** Merlin tries to shoo her away, but when he gently shoves her, she [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength shoves him into the tree]], chuckling and shyly pressing her face into her own tail.
47	** When Wart comes to Merlin complaining about being a squirrel and having problem thanks to the girl squirrel, an annoyed Merlin states emphatically his problems are worse and says "Look back there!", where the fat squirrel is playing with his tail. Eventually, he snatches it from her and runs for it, knocking Wart over.
48	* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJnaXaNzEVg Attack of the Dishes]]. Never bring a sword in a pots and pans fight.
49	** Before that, Ector backswings his sword and accidentally hits Kay's head.
50	*** The highlight of the scene would have to be when a mop wraps itself around Kay's face, and uses it to wash the floor.
51	* Arthur wrote cursive F and G backwards.
52	** What's even funnier is Archimedes doesn't seem to mind the backwards F, and only chastises Arthur on writing the G backwards (or that's where he realizes at least).
53	* Anything involving [[RunningGag Merlin's beard]].
54	* When Merlin tries to make his model plane fly, unfortunately his beard gets tangled in the propeller.
55	-->'''Archimedes:''' Hohoho! Man will fly, alright. ''[laughs]'' Just like a rock.\
56	'''Merlin:''' It would have worked if-if it weren't for this infernal beard!
57	** Followed by the most glorious laugh in ''any'' movie. [[https://youtu.be/KLI46yMdtmU It has to be seen and heard for oneself.]] Previously nothing but a humorless curmudgeon, he absolutely ''dies'' of laughter after Merlin's model ends up in the drink.
58	** And what completely sells it is Merlin furiously puffing at his pipe, trying ''hard'' not to lose his temper while Archimedes in the background just keeps right on howling.
59	** Bonus points because at least one Website/YouTube commenter pointed out that while Merlin was puffing on his pipe, it sounded like Archimedes said [[PrecisionFStrike “freaking fuck.”]]
60	* Mim tells Wart that she can make herself even uglier. Wart replies that [[StealthInsult it would be quite impressive.]]
61	* The entire wizard's duel, but particularly the part where Merlin ''turns into a walrus in mid air'' and lands on chicken-Mim.
62	** And the fact that, after doing so, is about to ask her if she's all right.
63	** And Madame Mim turns into an elephant, grabs him and yells "You...YOU BIG BLIMP!!" Merlin turns into a mouse and [[ElephantsAreScaredOfMice scares the bejeebers out of her]].
64	*** Then she turns into a tiger.
65	** When mouse-Merlin attempts to bite tiger-Mim on the tail, she quickly turns into a snake but then ends up biting her own tail.
66	*** Then as she chases Merlin into a hole in the ground, he promptly blocks another one he comes out of with a small boulder moments before Mim comes out, which predictably results in Mim briefly knocking herself out.
67	** "[[ExactWords Did I say no PURPLE dragons? DID I?!]]"
68	** Immediately before the above, Merlin's response to seeing said purple dragon before him: "Now, now, Mim, no dragons, remember?" Then again, she [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem only wants rules so that she can break them]].
69	** The way the duel ended. Since Mim tried to cheat with LoopholeAbuse, Merlin used the exact same tactic on her. She never said he couldn't turn himself into a virus.
70	--->'''Merlin:''' Madam, I have not disappeared. I'm very tiny. I'm a germ, a rare disease, I'm called malignalitaloptereosis. [[StealthPun AND YOU CAUGHT ME, MIM!]]\
71	'''Mim:''' (horrified) [[BigWhat WHAT?!]]
72	** An amused Merlin afterwards tends to Mim, now bedridden, noting she should be fine after a few weeks rest and lots of sunshine.
73	--->'''Mim:''' I hate sunshine! I! hate! horrible! wholesome! sunshine! I HATE IT, I HATE IT! I HATE! HATE! HATE!...''(Merlin closes the door and leaves, with Mim's ranting inside still audible)''
74	* "Blow me to Bermuda!"
75	** Surprisingly, this gag is in ''Literature/TheOnceAndFutureKing'' (although Merlin doesn't come back as a HawaiianShirtedTourist).
76	* When Sir Ector tells Kay to "bow down to your king", the latter briefly has a YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe facial expression.
77	* At the end of the movie, inside the castle, whenever Wart opens a door or window to try and get out, he gets greeted by a crowd yelling "'''HAIL KING ARTHUR! LONG LIVE THE KING!'''" so hard that Archimedes is sent flying backwards (twice, even colliding with the wall and sliding down with a cartoonish sound effect).
