- The Springer scene is nominated for Dr. Evil's entrance and ensuing brawl, while its dependence on the show's once-central cultural status is flagged as a future obstacle.
- Mini-Me's introduction and immediate hostility to Scott are nominated; the reveal is remembered as a major comic event.
- Verne Troyer's sudden celebrity is recalled through awards-show visibility and reality television, alongside acknowledgment of his later personal struggles.
- The Alan Parsons Project sequence is nominated for Scott's sarcastic reactions and Dr. Evil's insulted response, while the musical reference may escape younger viewers.
- The president and war room laughing at the $100 billion demand is nominated.
- Austin's space fight with Mini-Me is nominated as effective slapstick and a callback to the first film's toilet sequence.
- The spaceship euphemism montage is the favorite scene for one speaker and also amuses the producer; the Harrelson and Nelson cameos are highlighted, with an uncertain recollection that test reactions prompted extra filming.
- Mini-Me's first scene remains another choice; the tent silhouette and objects emerging from the bag are additional nominees for juvenile but effective comedy.
- The incompetent guard falling into the fire pit is nominated for its deliberate stupidity.
- Fat Bastard's crying confession about eating and unhappiness is praised, though the character is considered more effective in 1999 than 2019.
- Fat Bastard meeting Mini-Me and the baby-back-ribs song are additional memorable bits; the latter's 1969 setting is acknowledged as incoherent and its reference as time-bound.
- The sex-scene lead-up with Frau Farbissina is considered weak, but the awkward coffee encounter afterward is praised and suggested as another rewatchable scene.
