Go To

Part One: Pandora's Box

  • Any moment Joker and his gang take on the Spider Demon and Pak Jingjing.
    • At one point they get their hands on talismans that should render them invisible to demons... but got tampered by Joker's second-in-command brainwashed by the demons, and the Spider Demoness and Jingjing just play along and see what they're up to. Then Blindy decides to strip off his paper loincloth to flash at them. Cue Spit Take from Jingjing.
      (Jingjing spits out her liquor)
      Spider: What's with you?
      Jingjing: I must be too drunk. I should take a nap.
    • Then Joker makes his entrance with a long loincloth of talismans (and a bowtie made of talismans!), while his second-in-command dresses and dances like a hula dancer. And Joker grabs his "loincloth" in a... funny matter.
    • And Spider ignites his loincloth on fire. Joker could not take off his talismans as it will break his invisibility, so the only choice he has is... telling his goons to stomp out the fire. On his crotch.
      • Spider reignites the fire by accidentally spilling liquor over Joker crotch. Cue his "I'm going through this again, am I?" expression, then puts a wooden stick over his mouth as he prepares to get his crotch fire stomped. With his second-in-command giving out a "do it!" look as his goons flip in mid-air to do a crotch-stomping.
      • Jingjing pushes away a candle and the flame lands on Joker's loincloth. Again. And he gives out a "I can't believe I'm going to lose the most important thing in my life" look as the stick falls out from his mouth. Then his second-in-command shows him a blade:
        Second-in-command: Just cut it off. It's badly burnt.
        Joker: Better have one that's burnt to a crisp, (pushes away the blade) than none at all. And we might as well take on them in plain sight. Attack!!! (strips off his second-in-command's loincloth)
  • This line after Grandpa Buddha seals the two demons while disguised as Joker's mind-controlled second-in-command:
    Grandpa Buddha: I do anything to vanquish demons, even if it means taking off my undergarments! (Joker and his gang laughs)
  • The part where Joker uses the Moonlight Treasure Box to send himself back in time to stop Jingjing's suicide.
    • His second-in-command's reaction to Joker using said MacGuffin:
      Second-in-command: You're ascending!!!
    • A time-traveled Joker passes by his second-in-command witnessing Spider Demon attacking Bull Demon King's insides.
      Joker: What are you worried for? Your wife's gonna come out of fighting the insides.
      (Second-in-command looks confused as if someone blurted out a spoiler of a movie)
      Second-in-command: I haven't finished explaining. How do you know about that?
    • When Joker uses the Moonlight Box for the second time:
      Second-in-command: You're ascending again!!! Huh? Why did I said 'again'?
    • Joker passing by for the second time:
      Joker: I better warn you. Don't annoy me!
      Second-in-command: Why should I not annoy you? And warn me about this?
      Joker: You're so annoying!
      Second-in-command: Yeah! I too think myself as very annoying.
    • Joker using the Moonlight Box for the third time:
      Second-in-command: Goodness, you're ascending again...
    • Forgetting about passing by, Joker beats up his second-in-command to make him get the point.
      Joker: I don't have time to explain you this.
      Second-in-command: If you're not gonna explain to me, why are you beating me up for?
    • And THEN Joker uses the Moonlight Box once again:
      Second-in-command: Honey, come get Bull Demon King out here. A miracle has appeared.

Part Two: Cinderella

  • Early in the movie, Zixia escapes from Er Lang Shen and his celestial soldiers by casting a spell that makes them dance and giggle like fools. Then after she escapes and the spell wears off:
    'Er Lang Shen: Never speak of this tomfoolery again!
  • After Zixia takes over a cave and closes the cave entrance, Joker chants "Open Sesame" to open the entrance. The stone door falls onto him. Twice.
    • And just as Joker thinks that third time's the charm when the door doesn't slam on him for once, the door closes and and then falls onto him.
    • Then Zixia says the magic words to see who's outside the cave, we saw a crushed Joker. Again.
      Zixia: What's with this guy being crushed into pieces?
  • After the Monkey King got sealed away by Guanyin, the Moonlight Box accidentally opens up and whisks Tripitaka into time-travel shenanigans. At Black Wind Ridge, Joker stumbles upon a Tripitaka that just came back from Ancient Rome, followed by the monk having come back from another era of Indianote , and the monk from a trip to Ancient Egypt delivering the Black Wind Demon a Cartoon Bomb that blows up the demon's face.
  • Tripitaka's rendition of Only You as he reasons to Joker on why he must take up the mantle of the Monkey King once again. Yes. Tripitaka sings a modified version of Only You about Journey to the West. The lyrics are already the topping on the cake, but the song itself must be seen to be believed.
    Only you can take me to the scriptures in the west...
    Only you can vanquish the monsters...
    Only you and you alone can protect me from these monsters
    And the one that can do it is only you.
    O-only you forgive me for my nagging
    Take up the circlet without fear of death
    Don't fear setbacks, I understand
    Take on them with full force
    And face the perils together
    Amitabha...
    • And Joker's exasperated reaction to Tripitaka's singing. He proceeds punches out Tripitaka the moment the monk is about to sing again.
      Joker: I already told you I can't stand your singing! Lecture me one more time with your atrocious song, and I'll punch the living daylights out of you!
  • After switching bodies between Qingxia and Bajie, Xiangxiang intends to do this onto Wujing with a rock, but his quick-thinking manages to have the spell to be cast onto herself with him.
    • And Joker's reaction towards Qingxia's persona in Bajie's body and vice versa. Doubles as Tempting Fate, as Xiangxiang taunted Joker on what if he's destined to end up with Bajie. Fortunately, her Zixia persona it still in the same person thanks to her split personality.
      Joker: Give me a moment to get used to you looking like this...
  • Tripitaka's blabbering as he's Forced to Watch Bull Demon King's festival causes the demon guards standing beside him to either freak out to their deaths or cause them to commit suicide.
    Tripitaka (to a demon that just hanged himself out of irritation): Oh my, you took your own life faster than I can finish my words.
  • When the Monkey King is about to make his grand appearance signaled by a tremendous storm of clouds:
    Tripitaka: Look out! A storm is coming! Put those hanging clothes indoors!
  • The Monkey King's first order of business after his grand reintroduction? Curb-stomping Bull Demon King and his minions. Which includes:
    Monkey: (singing) I like chicken wings!
    Bull: Hey! You using my trident for barbeque!
    Monkey:' Oh right! I'm vegetarian.
    • Making his staff huge and drags Bull around the whole village and proceeds to whack Bull down towards the ground. And smashing the ground so hard that Bull erupts from being buried into the ground.
