  • Nordberg’s dock mishaps escalate through gunshots, head impact, burns, wet paint, a trapped hand, cake and a bear trap; the physical comedy is praised.
  • The hospital visit combines the collapsing bed, grotesque ways to die, giant mucus gag and an immediate meal break after promising tireless justice.
  • The live-microphone bathroom scene is favored for escalating pauses, renewed urination and the final fart; Austin Powers’s similar gag is compared but credited as later.
  • The Pier32 bribe negotiation recycles a Police Squad routine by passing the same20dollars back and forth.
  • The runaway parked car and shooting at it introduce the gadget-lab visit.
  • The anti-graffiti wall, Swiss Army shoe and tranquilizer cufflink demonstration on Ed form the gadget sequence.
  • The giant Al is only shown from the shoulders down; the use your other eye gag keeps the jokes coming.
  • The evil-doctor chase commandeers Stephanie’s driving lesson and features distinguished instructor Houseman.
  • The nothing-to-see-here fireworks disaster remains a widely usable reaction meme.
  • The falling-in-love montage moves through beach, food, tattoos, mustard and rides, culminating in laughter after Platoon and the reveal they met yesterday.
  • The anthem impersonation cuts to the real Palazzo bound in his underwear.
  • Baseball bloopers feature a struck infielder, tiger and detached head; the queen passes concessions and endures crude spectators.
  • Drebin’s umpiring escalates from unsure strike calls to crowd-pleasing theatrics, cheating checks and the rundown.
  • Jackson’s sudden assassin role supplies the I must kill the queen refrain.
  • The spectator identifying the hero as Enrico Palazzo is praised as an unnecessary extra joke that earns a huge laugh.
  • The obvious Jane mannequin and Ludwig’s car, steamroller and marching-band death provide additional climactic gags.
  • The baseball finale is the agreed winner, especially the anthem; real Mariners and Angels identities make it stronger.
