- In Part II when Frank Pentangeli wants the band at the Communion reception to play a Tarentella, he tries to sing out the beat for the band who have no clue. They seem to get it right at first, until they turn it into "Pop Goes The Weasel" and Pentangeli gives up in exasperation. Hilarious.
- Pretty much everything Clemenza says as he doles out his wisdom to Michael or the others. Even when he's giving orders to have Mooks like Paulie whacked.
- Luca Brasi rehearsing a small scripted speech he wrote thanking Don Corleone for inviting him to Connie's wedding. Watching a massive, scary Italian hitman mutter words of thanks over and over is funny enough by itself. But then he flubs the speech once he actually meets with Don Vito.
- Part of a Throw It In moment. The actor had flubbed his line first - terrified of acting opposite legend Marlon Brando - and Coppola liked it so much he kept that version and added the rehearsal scene later.
- The fast wit of Jack Woltz as he uses every ethnic slur he can think of when Tom Hagen comes calling about getting a part for Johnny Fontane:
- His reason for denying the part for Fontane crosses enough lines into macabre humor:
- And then the audience gets Mood Whiplash when we find out what Don Vito does to Woltz's horse.
- "Leave the gun. Take the canoli."
- Back to The Godfather
