2000 movie
- When the President is being briefed on Really Bad Television:Measures: According to our sources, three days from now, Fearless Leader plans to broadcast TV shows so terrible, they'll turn anyone who watches them into a mindless zombie incapable of independent thought.Schoentell: Totally different than regular TV!
- Bullwinkle questioning Karen's inner child.Karen: But that little girl doesn't exist anymore, Rocky. They don't want her kind in the FBI. [zooms in on her eye, where a young girl dressed like Karen stands]
Young Karen: I DO exist! I DO exist! Let me out!
Bullwinkle: There's something in your eye.
Karen: No there's not. [rubs her eye, causing Young Karen to fall back] - Also when Karen is having an argument with said inner child.Rocky: Who's she talking to?
Bullwinkle: You got me, Rock. - Nearly everything The Narrator says.Narrator: And then through the miracle of computer-generated digital technology, Minnie reached into the television set and signed the contract. But when she tried to pull the contract out, the expensive animated characters were instantly converted into even more expensive motion picture stars.
- How did they get pulled out? Fearless Leader informs her they were attached to the project.
- And the Lampshade Hanging of killing cartoon characters.Fearless Leader: There has never been a way to actually destroy a cartoon character until now.
Scientist: What about in that movie, Roger Rabbit?
Fearless Leader: Shut up! This is totally different! - Bullwinkle's antlers turning into a radio antenna. (In the novelization, this gets a Call-Back during the Wossamata U sequence.)
- Pretty much the entire sequence centered around Bullwinkle's acceptance speech, but Bullwinkle himself caps it off by having completely missed it.
- Much like the original series, any of the many lampshades of the franchise's trademark corny jokes.
- One of the first scenes, after Rocky points out that there aren't any woods anymore:
Bullwinkle: Well, you don't have to tell me, I'm the Chairman of the Frostbite Falls Society for Wildlife Conversation.
Rocky: You mean "wildlife conservation."
Bullwinkle: What'd I say?
Rocky: You said "wildlife conversation"!
Bullwinkle: Well, somebody's gonna have to start talking about these things.
Narrator: Yes, even their wordplay had become hackneyed and cheap.
Bullwinkle: No, it was always like this.- When Rocky reminds Bullwinkle that Karen is from the FBI:
Bullwinkle: The FBI? Didn't they take our show off the air?
Rocky: You mean the FCC!
Bullwinkle: Didn't they like it either? (to Karen) Can you believe we used to get paid for this routine? - Bullwinkle waiting for a commercial break and not getting one.Bullwinkle: What is this, PBS?!
- About midway through the movie, Karen escapes from jail by convincing Ole the guard to take her on a date. She insists on parking his truck somewhere for him, which is how she gets out. As she's driving away...Narrator: That wasn't very nice.Karen: Shut up. (slides her sunglasses over her eyes in a "Deal with it" sort of way)
- A few scenes later, we cut away from the main plot:
Narrator: And back in Cow Tip, Oklahoma, the only person in this movie more clueless than Bullwinkle faithfully waited for Karen to get back from parking his truck. - The little girl Mad Scientist sending a cartoon weasel to "where all worthless cyberjunk ends up... the Internet!"
- After Fearless Leader learns that Rocky and Bullwinkle have followed them into the real world:Fearless Leader: How many times in the past have they stood between me and my dreams of glory? How many times have they foiled my plans with their bungling interference?
Boris: Er... 28?
Fearless Leader: Quiet, idiot! - When the heroes are dragged into court:Judge Cameo: The defendants are charged with grand theft auto: 1 count; breaking out of jail: 1 count; impugning the character of a prison guard: 1 count; reckless driving: 4 counts; talking to the audience; five counts; criminally bad punning: 18 counts.
Bullwinkle: And three dukes and seven earls!
Judge Cameo: Make that 19. - At one point the main characters are pulled over by a cop. They try to convince him that Karen works for the FBI so they can split. "Yeah, and I'm really John Goodman," says the cop... who is played by John Goodman.
- Also when they're arrested, Rocky and Bullwinkle's faces are pixellated - and they notice it immediately. They have to make the camera guy reset their faces.
- "As dawn broke over the City of Angels..." (glass smashes)
- "And so, armed with the CDI, and a truckload of really silly cartoon weaponry, Boris and Natasha set off to blast Rocky and Bullwinkle from the face of the Earth... and immediately got stuck in traffic."
- "Well, Agent Sympathy. I have waited many years to face an enemy I could respect... and I'm still waiting."
- it may be an Incredibly Lame Pun, but the name Karen Sympathy is quite amusing.

- Inspector Peachfuzz is more than a little paranoid. When inspecting the heroes' hotel room, every noise it emits, from the alarm clock to the toaster, starts freaking her out big time.

Moosebumps

- Boris and Natasha also use Bedsheet Ghosts to drive Rocky and Bullwinkle out of the creepy house. Bullwinkle isn't scared of the "ghosts", but of the dirty sheets used. So he knocks them into the laundry chute.
- There's also this bit when the villains first try out this plan:
Boris: Baaa! Baaa!Natasha: It's "boo", you idiot! We're ghosts, not sheep! - Rocky's attempts to prove that Monster!Bullwinkle is nice. First, he dresses as an old lady and gets Bullwinkle to help him cross the street, only for him to start freaking out when he steps on a nail. Then, they use the Cat Up a Tree tactic, with Rocky dressed as the cat, but in Bullwinkle's attempt to free Rocky from the tree, they stumble upon a beehive. Finally, Rocky deliberately steers a bus out of control so Bullwinkle can stop it... and then he regenerates to his normal self.
- Bullwinkle's first impressions of the less-than-ideal-for-monster-hunting home he and Rocky had brought, consist of a simple, terse "It sucks."
