  • After Walter takes his turn he learns he now has a robot. When the robot first appears before them it's about two inches tall. The boys then start to argue about how Walter is mistreating his new robot. ...all the while, failing to notice the robot growing in size and is more than ready to harm Walter. Leading to this delightful comment from Danny:
    Robot: Alien life form. Must destroy.
    Danny: Walter, I think he's talking about you.
  • Danny, despite great personal risk and against all odds manages to sneak past all Zorgons. Board their ship and retrieve the game before it can be burned.
  • The Astronaut ejecting out the flaming couch to divert the Zorgons.
  • The Astronaut actually managing to change the past. Stopping his past self from erasing his brother.
  • When Walter finally uses the "Reprogram" card on the robot and it opens up a can of Whoop Ass on the Zorgons, that's very satisfying to watch. This includes the aliens fleeing back to the ship, but the robot reveals rocket boots which allow him to chase after them. Said two ships quickly detach from the house, but then one spirals out of control, hitting the other and causing them to explode as the other continues far, far away.
    Robot: (chases after the retreating Zorgons) Alien life form. Must destroy.
    Walter: I like the "Reprogram" card.
    Danny: It's a good card.
  • The Black hole card at the end, especially when it sucks up the Zorgon Fleet.
  • "LISA! ...is upstairs."
    • Said directly after she smashes a Zorgon into the wall with a piano.
    • Considering that this is Kristen Stewart we're talking about here makes it even more awesome, and pretty refreshing if one is only familiar with her Damsel in Distress role in Twilight.
