Surf Ninjas/Funny
- Surf Ninjas is mostly a classic example of So Bad It's Good, but it does have some moments of intentional comedy. Near the beginning of the movie, a great spiritual leader, The Ba-Ba-Ran, is coming to their high school. The school administration asks one of the main characters, an ethnic Asian teenager who is, nevertheless, a stereotypical American Surfer Dude, to put on a presentation to greet The Ba-Ba-Ran in the "traditional" manner. Having no idea what to do, he comes up with this, much to the dismay of the audience. Actually the 'young people in the audience loved it, only the principal and Ba-Ba-Ram didn't react well... at first.
- Kwantsu, Dudes!... It must mean, free beer!
- Don't forget now. "...As we all know, money can't buy knives."
- Adam and Johnny both stand in shock and fear as Zatch approaches. "Ummm Dad, remember the guy you said that would come if we didn't eat our vegetables, he's here!"
- Johnny and Iggy have the best lines.

Johnny: Ro-May, you know what would be really great. Is if you'd run like a mother and get Winky the One-Eyed black belt! |
 |
- Earlier with Iggy...
|
Iggy: All right, kids, come in here and clean up yer bloody room! I know best, 'cuz after all I'm 37, and don't make me beat you with leg of mine that no longer works 'cuz I'll do it! |
|
- Later...
|
Johnny: While in Patusan, guests of The Revolution stay at the Mecrob Hilton. |

- In the end a remaining bad guy is crawling up stairs of the temple. "Newsflash: Your Side Lost!"
- What makes the whole thing even funnier is that that's the third time he's had to crawl back up the stairs after falling down twice before. The first two times were because he he was thrown by Johnny. While the last time he did it himself to avoid getting beat down by the winning citizens.
- The 'Barbara Ann' musical sequence.
- Just about all of Rob Schneider's lines. Particularly when he starts believing he has a supernatural ability based on him saying "What if?"
- "What if I lose this power?" and after a short pause "Oh my god I lost it!" It's funny in context.
- "What if I could control the outcome of this fight?"
- "Money can't buy knives"
- Colonel Chi was this menacing figure (at least menacing enough that Leslie Nielsen could pull off without being Creepshow scary.) with half his face and arm being robotic. However his origin story was the most laughable as he got that way during a botched assassination attempt on Johnny's life which caused him to get crushed by stampeding elephants.
