Funny / A Mighty Wind

• Amber Cole's "humming" (who else can hum with their mouth wide open?), and really Amber Cole in general.
  • "Thank God for model trains. You know, if they didn't have the model train they wouldn't have gotten the idea for the big trains."
• Laurie's backstory, which rather quickly veers away from a heartwarming tale of finding oneself through folk music into a sordid story of her years making degrading porn in San Francisco. That she tells this almost entirely through innuendo and implication and with a constant Stepford Smile makes it that much funnier, and Terry's exceptionally uncomfortable expressions during the scene are the icing on the cake.
• Mitch's increasingly depressed and suicidal album titles after his break with Mickey.
• The folk music critic who discusses the impact of "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow."
  "That was one of the most important kisses in the history of folk music. [Beat] One of the most important kisses in the history of humans."
• Lawrence Turpin reaching the end of his patience and smacking Jonathan Steinbloom on the top of the head.
• Any of the shots of Naomi Steinbloom's weird and exaggerated reactions when they cut to the audience of the concert.
• Terry tries to explain how his religion calling themselves witches isn't as weird as it sounds.
  "And no, we do not ride on broomsticks or wear pointy ha... well, we don't ride on broomsticks."
• Every single second that Mike LaFontaine is on screen, especially his introduction.
• Jonathan Steinbloom's oblivious and clueless comments on both set design ("furniture") and sound equipment are comedy gold. (And results in him getting what's coming to him.)
• It didn't make it into the final cut of the film, but the Folksmen's cover of "Start Me Up" by The Rolling Stones included on the soundtrack must be heard and/or seen to be believed.
  • As does their faux-reggae/calypso track "Loco Man," which is briefly heard in the movie and is also featured on the soundtrack.
