- Nominated lines: 'I didn't know they gave out rings at the Holocaust'; 'it's at the corner of get a map and fuck off'; the reminder that their best friend Doug is probably face down in a ditch with a meth head butt-fucking his corpse; and Bradley Cooper on Alan, 'he's like a gremlin, comes with instructions and shit'.
- 'Phil was always our designated drunk driver' was a very 2009 line you could not joke about now; 'yeah, I do believe that because she's grossed out by semen' is really funny; and the exchange between Alan and Rachel Harris' character after Ed Helms walks away, with the bartender's license and 'suck my dick' answered 'no thank you'.
- Not a line but a moment: the way Bradley Cooper behaves during Alan's blackjack run, yelling 'fuck you, he's a dealer' and flipping off the security cameras; the hosts have seen guys get too familiar with dealers, and one does the overhead camera joke, shouting 'turn it on' when a table is running; after moving on they realize they never picked and settle on the Holocaust line as the funniest joke.
- Earlier, during the research segment, the Holocaust ring line was flagged as one host's intended best line and the funniest thing in the movie.
