The 1996 film:

  • Howard, to the two store employees laughing at him for asking if they have any Turbo Mans in stock:
    Howard: (grabbing both of them) Where's your Christmas SPIRIT? (the two employees put on nervous smiles) That's better.
  • Howard masquerading as a detective so he doesn't get arrested by the cops for buying a counterfeit Turbo Man from the crooks:
    Howard: This has to be the sloppiest bust I've ever seen in my entire career. (a few cops chuckle derisively, but straighten up when Howard flashes his badge- which is a toy- but is shown fast enough that they don't notice) Detective Lang, undercover. I've been working on this case for the last three years, and you come barging in here like a bunch of terrorists at a tea party! WAIT till the commissioner finds out about this. He is going to hit the ROOF! Now get your act together, and arrest someone!
  • Howard, just about had it, punches at a crazy reindeer.
    "You started it."
  • Howard as Turbo Man. Every bit of it.
    • The feeling of victory he has when he finally gets his hands on a Turbo Man doll, and can give it to his son right there at the parade. Crosses over with heartwarming.
    • For his part, Myron also really gets into his disguise as the supervillain, Dementor.
  • At the parade near the end, when Ted tries his ultimate attempt at seducing Liz while alone with her in the car, therefore even trying to get her to cheat on Howard, at the last moment, when finally finding that out and just as Ted is going in for the kill kinesthetically, Liz finally hits Ted over the head with a jug of eggnog just before leaving the car, which is exactly what he deserves. Because it happened to be opened, it manages to stain his glasses and bend them out of proportion. His response with this incident turns out being "Well, that didn't go as well as I'd hoped."
  • Ted may be an asshole, but he rightfully calls out Howard for breaking into his house and trying to steal his son's present.
