Lay all your love on me!
  • If you didn't crack up when Sam was proposing to Donna, just look in the background behind Donna: the priest's face is hilarious. His eyes pop and everything.
    • Also his face when Sophie tells Donna she doesn't care if she's slept with "hundreds of men." The priest is a bit of a One-Scene Wonder on the whole.
    • Donna then hastily interjects into Sophie's loving declaration to clarify for everyone, "I haven't slept with hundreds of men!"
  • The swimmers from "Lay All Your Love On Me" who kidnap Sky just as he's about to make out with Sophie and proceed to pull off a dance number in flippers; consult the page image. Seriously; go see it and not laugh at the sheer ridiculousness of it.
    • It somehow ends up being even campier on the stage show.
  • This lovely line from Donna:
    Somebody up there has got it in for me. I bet it's my mother...
    • Given that her mother is still alive, Donna is literally wishing death on her!
  • Sam has a pretty good one too:
    So, Lorraine called me an idiot and married me to prove it.
  • Donna falling through the roof and onto the floor, right in front of her three exes, at the end of the titular song. Their reaction is that Donna "always did know how to make an entrance". How's that for a reintroduction?
  • Harry and Bill's heartfelt talk after the bachelorette party where they both want to confess that they are Sophie's father, while keeping their promise to her that they'll keep it secret. Bill believes that Harry is admitting he's gay, while Harry assumes that Bill slept with "the little lady" (referring to Rosie, but Bill assumes he means Sophie).
    Bill: [chuckles] You didn't know? [Harry shrugs] You didn't even suspect that you were...?
    Harry: Well, no. Of course not. That's always been a secret.
    [later in the conversation]
    Bill: I'm gonna level with ya, Harry. I don't think I can do this. She's a wonderful girl, but... can I take her on in my life?
    Harry: You don't have to marry her.
    Bill: WHAT?
  • The introduction to "Super Trouper."
    Tanya: For one night, and one night only!
    Rosie: (cutting her off) Because that's all we've got breath for.
    Donna: (cutting Rosie off): Speak for yourself, you old bat!
  • One of the conversations Donna and her friends have on their reunion is about where Tanya got her fake tits from! The answer - husband number three!
  • On the stage show, where he has a much bigger role than in the movie, Pepper's attempts to seduce Tanya, especially in the bit before she starts to sing "Does Your Mother Know" where he pulls out some "dance" moves.
