• After Pete and Henry almost run over a woman stuck in the snow, they crash their truck and come out laughing it off despite Pete breaking his leg. When they check to see if the woman is alright, she reflexively punches Pete in the crotch. Later on when they set up shelter, while Henry sets off to find Jonesy and Beaver. Henry specifically warns Pete, a known alcoholic not to go limping back to the crashed car for beer. He of course does just that, not knowing the woman is infected with the Ripley and just let out a Shit-weasel, already dead. Pete gets drunk and rants about a recent encounter with a woman before talking about Duddits and in a bit of crudeness mixed with loving tribute, decides to write Duddit's name in the snow. Writing in cursive writing no less. as soon as he finishes the Shit-weasel pops out in the last spot he pissed in and he sobers up right away in sheer shock alone before it's attack.

Pete: Lord I will never drink again.

• When Henry gains Underhill as an ally and they search for Jonesy, Henry asks if he could see Underhill's gun, which Curtis gave to him as a gift. Through Psychometry, Henry was able to telepathically send a phone inside Jonsey's memory warehouse so he could talk to him directly. When Jonsey uses the phone, Henry uses the gun as a receiver freaking the hell out of Underhill. Underhill says the following line when Henry is finished.

Owen Underhill: Give me back my gun.

• The Dynamic between the four characters as both kids and adults is both this and heartwarming. Despite all the stress they face day to day in their separate lives or SSDD (Same Shit Different Day) as they call it, once they go to the cabin together they have the time of their lives. Drinking, discussing trivia and their personal lives, Duddits and all around having a good time. Gems include:
  • Pete and Beaver discussing their sex lives and Pete teasing Beaver over him going to bingo churches to pick up women.
  • Beaver betting Pete, that he knows at least one movie where the morning after sex, couples don't just kiss and cuddle without doing the daily routines of waking up.
  • The Gang discussing the memory warehouse, which Jonesy has loads of files. When he mentions he had to throw out all his rock and roll lyrics so that there'd be space for the new laptop two funny things happen here. The first is when he puts the laptop box in you can briefly see the label saying "How this damn thing works." The second, Beaver flips out, thinking Jonesy got rid of the Lyrics to their song Blue Bayou. Which Jonesy reassures him he kept them in a special office where he keeps all his secrets.
  • Pete mentions his own memory warehouse got destroyed in a flood, which Beaver remarks that he didn't know there was enough beer in Maine to cause a flood.
• After rescuing Rick, putting up with his gas problems and setting him up for a nap, Jonesy and Beaver quickly open the door to air out the stink while both stick their heads out and try to breathe in as much fresh air as possible. Granted the man was gassy for a horrifying reason, but that was still funny.
• After Kurtis shoots a man for letting an infected Woman and her child leave the quarantine zone, he asks Underhill if he thinks he's crazy. To which Underhill remarks that he's a little crazy. Kurtis glares at him at first, clearly offended and almost looking like he was gonna shoot Owen next, only for him to shrug and concede, agreeing with him. For a moment there, it seemed like they had a friendship similar to the main 4.
• When Henry is trekking to the Cabin he hears the Snowmobile from a distance and is excited because he thinks Jonesy has come to the rescue. Within range though, Henry telepathically talks to Jonesy and realizes that whatever is coming for him is not Jonesy. While a mostly tense scene, there were two funny moments here. One that when Mr. Gray passes him by, he seems to disappear implying he may have some kind of psychic stealth power, instead he just quickly buried himself in snow to hide. The other, prior to the realization, Henry's excited reaction. Which if it were anyone else may have been silly, but not funny, but the fact that Thomas Jane who'd later play The Punisher sang the lyrics to Mighty Mouse, is nothing short of hilarious.

Henry: Jonesy?! Way to go MOTHERFUCKER!! HERE HE COMES TO SAVE THE DAY!!! MIGHTY MOUSE IS ON THE WAY!!
