Line 4:
* "By Grabthar's hammer...by the suns of Worvan...you shall be ''avenged''." {{spoiler|Followed shortly by Alan Rickman killing an alien with his bare hands}}
* Fred Kwan taking down a room full of alien baddies by beaming a rock monster up from the planet's surface. Made even better by his line as he watches with [[Comedic Sociopathy|unmistakable glee]].
{{quote| '''Fred''': It's the simple things in life you treasure. (meanwhile, Rocky's throwing the soldiers around like toys)}}
* This editor watched ''Galaxy Quest'' in a room full of sci-fi geeks. When Tim Allen tugs his waistband down in the manner of Picard, then lounges in his captain's chair like Kirk, the whole place fell about laughing without a word being spoken on screen...
* The self-destruct override {{spoiler|apparently failing only to kick in just before the timer reaches zero. Cue a moment of bewilderment for both characters and audience before Gwen [[Lampshade Hanging|hangs the metatextual lampshade]]: "It always [[Magic Countdown|stops at one]] on the show."}} Payoff!
Line 11:
* What about Mathesar beating up Sarris ''WITH A CANE'', despite being put through brutal torture not too long ago?
** Mathesar {{spoiler|taking command of the Protector.}}
{{quote| '''Mathesar:''' On, Teb, on!}}
** Technically, not even part of the movie. After the credits, there's no teaser scene, just Mathesar echoing the motto of the crew of the Protector:
{{quote| ''Never give up, never surrender!''}}
* In real life, the highly positive reactions of the [[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]] cast members, who saw it for the [[Affectionate Parody]] that it was instead of as a [[Take That]].
* In-universe: the fans were surprised seeing Sarris come out of the ship; more amazed that Jason killed him.
** I liked watching all the fans point thier fake laser guns at him, including one kid who pointed his Nerf dart-gun. He actaully fired a few ''rounds'' at Sarris!
