Line 7:
* The zombie three-legged race in the opening sequence. Note how the opening sequence alternates between [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|awesome]] and [[Crowning Moment of Funny|funny]] with every shot?
* Columbus revealing his greatest fear while sitting on a toilet {{spoiler|when a [[Monster Clown]] bursts out from under the door}} (fortunately its only his imagination).
* No mention of the stereotypical Suburban Mom Van being mobbed by an army of small zombie ''[[Everything's Better Withwith Princesses|princesses]]''?
* [[Two Words: Obvious Trope|Three Words]]; [[Never Mess Withwith Granny|Sister Cynthia Knickerbocker]]. Also qualifies for {{spoiler|[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Zombie Kill of the Week]]}}.
* During the driving montage, the brief shot of Little Rock explaining how ''[[Hannah Montana]]'' works to a surprisingly enthralled Tallahassee. With [[Wicked (Theatretheatre)|"Popular" by]] [[Kristin Chenoweth]] playing in the background.
** And the bit of the montage where Little Rock is ''driving''.
{{quote| Wichita: "This is the freeway, so you can go up to 65, but you don't want to go over 75..."<br />
Columbus: "You don't want to go over '''20!'''" }}
* On repeated viewings, when you realise that the guy who gets killed in the bathroom to demonstrate rule #3 is the same guy who gets conned by Wichita and Little Rock in their flashback.
* After the girls {{spoiler|run off again}}:
{{quote| '''Columbus''': ''To Tallahasee'' You're like a giant cockblocking robot built in a secret fucking government lab.}}
* After Little Rock {{spoiler|takes them hostage a second time}}, Tallahassee shrieks "Don't kill me with my own gun!"
* When they're raiding {{spoiler|Bill Murray's}} kitchen.
{{quote| '''Little Rock:''' No Twinkies.<br />
'''Tallahassee:''' Shit-fuck! }}
* Tallahassee gushing over {{spoiler|Bill Murray}} -- "I've been watching your movies since I was...old enough to masturbate! [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?|Not that those two things are connected]]."
Line 26:
* The appearances of the rules on screen when they're applied. The words appear on the screen, always in a manner appropriate to the scene - and when "Enjoy the little things" floats over a destroyed tacky souvenir shop, cracking, creaking and the word 'things' about to fall off the sentence at any moment...it's a hilarious visual gag.
* Even better is the rule #1 Cardio.
{{quote| As Columbus runs from the zombies at the gas station, the rule appears and one of the zombies smashes hip-first into the rule nad breaks it. In lap two, that zombie is limping far behind.}}
* Columbus giving both barrels to {{spoiler|not-actually-zombie Bill Murray.}}
** Not to mention this quote following that scene:
{{quote| '''Little Rock:''' "Do you have any regrets?"<br />
{{spoiler|'''Bill:''' "''Garfield'', maybe."}} }}
** What about his final breath going on FAR too long
Line 35:
* Tallahassee attracting zombies by playing "Dueling Banjos" from [[Deliverance]] on a banjo, then [[Instrument of Murder|smashing a charging zombie's head in with it]] while yelling "You've got a purdy mouth!"
* This part of the 406 sequence:
{{quote| '''Columbus:''' * holding a blender as a weapon* Now listen, 406, I don't want to hurt you but--<br />
* blender falls apart* <br />
'''Columbus:''' "...Shit." }}
* "You've never heard of [[Willie Nelson]]?" "No." "Willie. Nelson."
** Later...
{{quote| '''Little Rock:''' Who's {{spoiler|Bill Murray}}?<br />
'''Tallahassee:''' ...I've never hit a child, but asking who {{spoiler|Bill Murray}} is?? That's like asking who Gandhi is!!<br />
'''Little Rock:''' ...who's Gandhi? }}
* "Blind spots are for other drivers!"
* How about when Columbus and Tallahassee are talking about the last time they got laid and they see a zombie in the middle of the road eating a person?
{{quote| '''Tallahassee:''' Look, whatever you have waitin' for you in Columbus, I promise you it ain't any prettier then our friend here enjoying her [[I'm a Humanitarian|manwich]].}}
** Tallahassee ''then'' steers the Cadillac around, driving at a reasonable speed and opens the door, smacking the zombie in the face while he laughs.
* "Somebody's ear is in danger of having hair brushed over it!"
* Columbus chucking the whiskey out the car window is done so perfectly, it's probably the best example of quickly-disposing-of-stuff-whilst-other-person-ain't-looking on film.
* Tallahassee's verbal backtrack:
{{quote| '''Tallahassee:''' [Pacific Playland] totally blows!<br />
[Little Rock and Wichita give Tallahassee angry looks]<br />
'''Tallahassee:''' ... my mind. Just fun for the whole family. }}
* "Oh. My. God. You're thinking about fucking Wichita. Well, wish granted, boy! She's been fucking us for the past 24 hours!"
* Wichita punking Columbus for the second time and going Bummer.
* Columbus' final stand off with a zombie clown. The scenario is hilarious enough, but what he says before we see the clown is what sells it.
{{quote| '''Columbus:''' ''Oh my god, [[A Worldwide Punomenon|look at this fucking clown]].''
