* Jango gives Wessel some creepy centipede things in a glass container warning her to "Be careful, they're very poisonous." As many a meme-enjoyer can tell you, "venomous" means they bite you and you die, "poisonous" means you bite them and you die. [[FridgeBrilliance Read literally, Jango was hoping Padmé would accidentally eat the things in her sleep.]]

* When Anakin pulls a surprise skydive during the Coruscant speeder chase, Obi-Wan's reaction is an annoyed "I hate it when he does that." When it comes to Anakin's crazy stunts, he's damn near SeenItAll.
* During the chase, Zam shoots a power coupling, causing it to emit violet beams of electricity. Anakin and Obi-Wan fly through it!
-->'''Obi-Wan''': Anakin! How many times I've told you to -- ''(they enter the electric field)'' stay away from power couplings?! ''(they exit the field with an electric wake behind them)'' That was good!
** While they're in the field, Obi-Wan sits tensely, but what does Anakin do? He leans back in his seat while shaking from the shock treatment, and he looks almost relaxed!
** Obi-Wan's reactions heavily imply Anakin has ran into electric fields and jumped out of a speeder at least ''multiple times'' up to this point!



* The following exchange between Obi-Wan and a man named [[MeaningfulName Elan Sleazebaggano]]:
-->'''Elan Sleazebaggano:''' You wanna buy some [[FantasticDrug deathsticks]]?\\
'''Obi-Wan:''' [[JediMindTrick You don't want to sell me deathsticks.]]\\
'''Sleazebaggano:''' I don't want to sell you deathsticks.\\
'''Obi-Wan:''' [[JediMindTrick You want to go home and rethink your life.]]\\
'''Sleazebaggano:''' I want to go home and rethink my life. ''(walks away from the bar, presumably to go home and rethink his life)''
** The payoff from said exchange in [[Franchise/StarWarsLegends the old expanded universe]]: Elan was a deathstick addict himself, but after the trick he went home, re-thought his life, broke off his addiction... And expanded his dealings to weapons and stolen goods. ''Then'', by the war's end, he had finally become an honest man and began a new goal of trying to turn deathstick addicts away from the drug... Then Order 66 happened and he got trampled by a Clonetrooper chasing two Jedi. His life afterward remains unknown.
** Just the fact that after being in a speeder with [[DrivesLikeCrazy Anakin]], the first thing Obi-Wan does is [[INeedAFreakingDrink go to the bar for a drink]].



* As Anakin and Padmé have their first kiss at the lake house a soft version of their love theme plays. When Padmé quickly breaks it off the music also cuts out! Also Anakin's face afterwards like he's thinking "What the hell?!"



** The [[https://i.imgur.com/3Yh9UBp.gif expression]] on Obi-Wan's face as he says this (right after glancing up at his chains and then looking back to Anakin) is a hilarious mix of sarcasm, false congratulations and frustration.

* In the novelization, the probe droid that Obi-Wan grabs onto shocks the Jedi knight to try to dislodge him, so he yanks out power cables from the droid. It works... But it completely depowers the droid, which is the only thing keeping him from dropping thousands of stories to his death, so he has to frantically reattach the power cables while falling to avoid his untimely death.

* The absurd amount of layering of the assassination attempt becomes this when you put it all together... Sidious tells Count Dooku to set up an assassination attempt, who then hires Jango Fett to do it, who then hires Zam Wessel to do it, who fails the first time, so she orders a probe droid to do it by delivering centipede-like creatures to do it... Everyone is just passing the job to a underling instead of doing it themselves.

* In the novelization, Yoda senses a sudden burst of fear from ''Palpatine,'' of all people, when it's decided that Jar Jar will ask the Senate to grant him emergency powers. It's a pretty understandable reaction, given that he's just realized that his master plan rests entirely on [[LethallyStupid Jar Jar Binks.]]

** Later in the arena, Obi-Wan gets a hold of a spear and promptly throws it at the acklay, hitting the beast in the shoulder. Obi-Wan looks so pleased with himself...until the acklay promptly rips the spear out and snaps it between its teeth, at which point Obi-Wan somewhat [[OhCrap realises]] [[DidntThinkThisThrough he's thrown away his only weapon in exchange for pissing the monster off with a minor flesh wound]].

* Anakin delivers the common "I've got a bad feeling about this" line used in all the movies. However, where in the other cases where it's used to demonstrate the uneasiness of characters heading into a foreboding situation that they aren't sure of, Anakin, upon seeing the beasts released toward him, says it in more of a deadpan ThisIsGonnaSuck manner.
