** They somehow managed to work the word ''Gigantopithicus'' into the lyrics without disrupting the flow of the song. '''Twice'''.
* Baloo reassures Mowgli that the bees up there are of the non-stinging variety. When Mowgli makes it back to the bottom covered in evidence to the contrary, Baloo simply shrugs it off: "They must be FEMALE bees, those do sting. They looked like males from down here..."

* "You have never been a more endangered species than you are right now." Although, this line can be seen a bit more harshly too, given the current conservation status of pangolins.

-->'''Baloo''': A bird! That can't be a good sign. (''sobs'')

** What really stands out is the buildup to the song: at first, Louie begins speaking the "don't try to kid me, man-cub" verse in a threatening tone, making you think it's just going to be a WaxingLyrical MythologyGag, as after all, the film has not been a musical up to this point ("Bare Necessities" has appeared before this point, but was very clearly diegetic, while "Trust In Me" only has the melody briefly played in the background). ''After'' he's finished speaking the verse however, he belts out "OOBIE DOO" and starts actually singing, seemingly out of nowhere.

* The "I Wanna Be Like You" number was always funny, but this time it's made even more hilarious simply by being sung by ''Christopher Walken''.

* "You have never been a more endangered species than you are right now." Although, this line can double as a FunnyAneurysmMoment, given the current conservation status of pangolins.

* In one scene, we see Shere Khan, after usurping the role as leader of the wolf pack, giving an allegorical speech to some wolf cubs about how the cuckoo bird lays its eggs in another bird's nest to turn them against Mowgli. [[MoodWhiplash Cut the next scene]], where we see a mother bird feeding a much larger cuckoo bird sitting in her next.

* Much like in the 60s film, Baloo acts as a diversion to King Louie while Bagheera goes to get Mowgli. In the original, he did this by hijacking the musical number. This time? He makes idle conversation...after King Louie has ordered him be ''thrown back over the cliff''. However, all the monkeys together ''can't budge him'', so Baloo just plops down onto his bottom and continues talking up a storm, occassional tossing monkeys off himself without a care.

* "You have never been a more endangered species than you are right now." Although, this line can double as a FunnyAneurysmMoment, given the current status of pangolins in the world.
* Baloo climbing up a cliff, whimpering all the while. When he hears an eagle call we get this gem:

* The porcupine going all "My rock. Hey, a stick! My stick!" He even fights with a peacock over a twig when the peacock takes an interest.

* Akela jokingly telling Gray (who is a runt and showing off his cute little howl) "In most packs, the runt usually gets eaten."

* During the Truce Bagheera pops up between a herd of bucks to drink, who understandably are a bit nervous with a predator in their midst. Bagheera very calmly replies that he knows the law and continues to drink, completely unbothered. There is something quite amusing (especially with Bagheera being the no-nonsense panther he is) that of all the places he could have chosen the panther decides to squeeze himself between the bucks and unnerve them.

--> "I could pee on it"

-->'''Mowgli''': "You're taking me back where I came from, but you found me in the jungle. Are you taking me back to the jungle? No!"

** The scene that follows is also worth mentioning, as Baloo tells Mowgli the exaggerated story of how he [[spoiler:saved him from Kaa]], before asking if the boy can climb. When Mowgli agrees, Baloo leads him outside so Mowgli can get "payback".
-->'''Baloo''': Lucky for you, your new favorite hero, [[MythologyGag ol' Baloo here]], just happened to be passing by."

* As Bagheera and Baloo battle the legions of monkeys, King Louie is in the process of looking for Mowgli. When [[spoiler: he causes the temple to collapse on him]], the fighting immediately ends and the monkeys begin [[spoiler: pulling the rubble away]]. Made even funnier by the credits, when [[spoiler: Louie just pops out from underneath the rubble]].

* In one scene, we see Shere Khan, [[spoiler: after usurping the role as leader of the wolf pack]], giving an allegorical speech to some wolf cubs about how the cuckoo bird lays its eggs in another bird's nest to turn them against Mowgli. [[MoodWhiplash Cut the next scene]], where we see a mother bird feeding a much larger cuckoo bird sitting in her next.

* When Mowgli is about to meet King Louie, he marvels over a pile of discarded human objects. Particularly, he takes an [[ShoutOut interest in a]] [[SaturdayNightLive cowbell]].

** "You're taking me back where I came from, but you found me in the jungle. Are you taking me back to the jungle? No!"

** "I could pee on it"
* The heart-warming (and final) scene of Mowgli and Bagheera watching the sunset is slightly interrupted by Baloo climbing up and joining them. The branch creaks under his weight, and he says "Don't tell me we have to get back down again."
** "Oh, ''now'' he can climb."

* Louie tries to make small talk with Mowgli when he's brought before him to smooth things over. He first asks what part of the jungle Mowgli is from, and when Mowgli responds he's from the south, Louie marvels at how beautiful the south jungle is... but then admits he hasn't actually been there. But he's heard so.

* When Louie decides to personally take part in the chase after Mowgli, he first has the challenge of getting off the ground. It takes considerable effort and he groans loudly as he finally gets to his feet. He even leaves some fur behind on the ground, because he'd been sitting there so long!

** Shortly afterwards, Baloo invites Bagheera to sit down, relax, and have some honey while they discuss Mowgli's situation. Bagheera's reaction is a very stiff "I don't eat honey."

** "It's nature's ointment."

** From the same scene where Bagheera and Baloo are battling the monkeys, Baloo lets out a MightyRoar. At first, it appears to work as the monkeys stand down for a moment, but once Baloo finishes, he gives a rather comical OhCrap expression before the monkeys dogpile him.

* Akela jokingly telling one of his pups "The runt usually get eaten first."

** "Exfoliate me".
