• Saito, buying out the whole airline. "It seemed neater."
  • The way he says it just sells the joke.
• The reason it's raining in the first level.
• "Quick, give me a kiss." *kiss* "They're still looking at us." "Yeah, it was worth a shot."
• While Yusuf is driving the van, he manages to take out some of his pursuers. He looks back and says, "Did you see that?" to the dreamers, then turns back to the wheel in disappointment.
• Yusuf flicking off the projected security guys and making intense faces as he drives backwards off the bridge.
• "This would be a kick." The looks they give each other sell it.
  • Arthur's chair getting kicked over multiple times in montage, much to the amusement of everyone else.
    • Mostly Eames' and Yusuf's amusement.
    • Basically Arthur being not strait-laced/uptight.
• Arthur's silent reaction to the "You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling" line.
  • The looks on Arthur's face during that scene are brilliant.
  • Most of Eames and Arthur's interactions are quite funny.
• "Paradox." *Pushes off staircase*
• Upon hijacking a car, the first thing Arthur does is pull a face and turn off the music (which does not sound anything like Edith Piaf). Very discreet and short, but effective. Arthur's actually a large source of humor despite (or because of?) his serious attitude.
  • Asshole. How do you mess up the carpet?
• "Oh. I see you met Mrs. Cobb."
  • A very Nightmare Fuel moment for me.
• "If I could have a moment, Mr. Saito..."
• YMMV, but when the van is falling and everyone's arms are flying up in the air like they're on a carnival ride.
  • This troper found it funny only because it kept happening, as if they were putting their arms down between shots so that momentum could pull their arms up again. Imagining a whole carload of people putting their arms up and down very fast in complete synchronization caused so much giggles this troper had to leave the theater to calm down.
• Fischer getting exasperated and saying what everyone in the audience was thinking by that point:

Fischer: Couldn't someone have dreamt up a goddamn beach?

• • Made funnier by the fact that Cobb does eventually "dream up a goddamn beach", but it quickly degenerates into pure Nightmare Fuel.
• Fischer's mildly annoyed reaction to being kidnapped in a taxi:

There's five hundred dollars in there. The wallet's worth more than that, so you might at least drop me at my stop.

• • Made even funnier when a couple scenes later, Yusuf is examining the wallet and incredulously remarks, "Five hundred dollars, this cost."
• About half the things Tom Hardy does in the film. It's why he's the Ensemble Darkhorse for the film.
• In the beginning where Saito rescues Dom in Mombasa. One of the guys was ready to fire his gun right as Saito opened the car door, and knocked down the gunner. "Care for a lift, Mr. Cobb?"
