* The whole "MyNameIsInigoMontoya" fight scene between Creator/BryanCranston as Rugen and Creator/JavierBardem as Inigo is funny for two reasons. One, we have two of the finest actors in the world play fighting in their homes like children, and two, Bardem is playing the entire scene [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously like he's going for the Oscars]], but every time the camera cuts back to him, his 'sword' changes into a different implement.

Added DiffLines:

* The entire goddamn thing is hilarious for involving actors of all stripes, comedians, Oscar winners, athletes, young, and old, all of them filming themselves on their phones and holding cheap household props (and Legos for distant shots). There is no continuity, actors can change race, age, or even gender from scene to scene. It's the most A-list game of Pretend you will ever see.
* Right from the start, Creator/FredSavage reprises his role as the grandson. [[Film/Deadpool2 Again]].
* Notable members of the cast list include:
** Creator/JKSimmons, Creator/GiancarloEsposito, Creator/SarahSilverman, Creator/RobertWuhl and Creator/AdamSandler as the Grandfather/narrator.
** Creator/JackBlack, Creator/JonHamm, Creator/TaikaWaititi and Creator/PaulRudd as Westley/The Man in Black
** Creator/PedroPascal, Creator/JohnCho, Creator/DiegoLuna and Creator/JavierBardem as Inigo Montoya
** [[Wrestling/{{Batista}} Dave Bautista]] and [[Creator/ShaquilleONeal Shaq]] as Fezzik. Okay, those were appropriate casting, but in one scene towards the end Fezzik is also played by Creator/CharlizeTheron.
** Creator/RainnWilson, Creator/NickKroll and Creator/PattonOswalt as Vizzini
** Creator/DavidOyelowo and a returning Creator/CaryElwes as Prince Humperdinck
** Creator/JohnMalkovich as the Impressive Clergyman
** Creator/RobReiner as the grandfather at near the beginning and the grandson at the end, where his own father, Creator/CarlReiner, plays the grandfather (and tells Rob "As you wish"). Carl Reiner died three days after recording his scene, and the work as a whole is dedicated to him.
* One scene reunites Creator/ElijahWood and Creator/AndySerkis as Humperdinck and Rugen respectively. [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Basically Gollum and Frodo in cahoots.]]
* The whole "MyNameIsInigoMontoya" fight scene between Creator/BryanCranston as Rugen and Creator/JavierBardem as Inigo is funny for two reasons. One, we have two of the finest actors in the world play fighting in their homes like children, and two, Bardem is playing the entire scene [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously like he's going for the Oscars]], but every time the camera cuts back to him, his 'sword' changes into a different implement.
* Creator/PaulRudd doing the ToThePain speech has him giving [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct a very quiet but very powerful performance]] as the camera slowly zooms in on his face... until [[FailedAttemptAtDrama he zooms in too close and has to zoom out]].
