- James’s first day is nominated, particularly learning that the giant-panda game is unwinnable and that some targets are glued in place.
- The first-day tour exposes rigged games and absurd park rules, with Joel’s jaded guidance setting the tone and puncturing James’s innocence.
- Em’s party is nominated for the recurring erection joke.
- The remodeled house convincingly communicates the stepmother’s influence.
- James and Em’s drink with the lounge singer performing Hot Blooded is nominated, especially the singer pointing out his nephew during a solo.
- The Lisa P date is nominated because Frigo interrupts and tries to extract favors after discovering James was telling the truth.
- The pot-cookie sequence through bumper cars, the Cure and Hader’s baseball-bat intervention is nominated for its escalating comic chaos.
- James and Joel’s hillside conversation about Melville’s obscurity is nominated, showing that Joel can match James’s literary interests.
- The final rain conversation is important for its observations about perception and facing people one has hurt, although it is explicitly not offered as most rewatchable.
- The first Razzmatazz ensemble scene and Lisa P’s dancing are another scene candidate.
- The pot-cookie-to-baseball-bat sequence receives two explicit final scene choices; the Adventureland tour receives one.
