Astro Boy (2009 film)
- Astro's stunned reaction to the first time his rocket boots fire, including a hilarious expression and a wonderfully prompt (and pretty harsh) slap to his own face.
- And then as shock becomes delight he tries to zip off heroically - only to briefly forget how to power the jets and, on reactivating them, slam himself backwards into a building and then straight up through its stone facade.
- A soldier trying to use windshield wipers when Astro crashes into his ship. Astro's look of sheer annoyance is priceless.
- Astro gets caught by several gunships, but starts pulling them behind him. A warning on one soldier’s visor flashes EXTREME DANGER!!, then switches to DINNER RETURNING.
- While trying to catch Astro, one of the ships accidentally snatches up a dog, a tablecloth, and a woman accepting a proposal:Soldier: "Uh...I'm just gonna take these back."
- Best of all, the woman doesn't even care she got snatched.Woman: [dangling from ship] I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!
- Best of all, the woman doesn't even care she got snatched.
- Trash Can the robot dog's final attempt to "out" Toby as a robot, spelling out on the ground in huge letters "HE'S A ROBOT!" with an arrow pointing to Astro/Toby to Zane. Made funnier when Zane shrugs, "Almost makes me wish I could read."
- When the RRF 'rescue' Astro.Cora: What just happened?
- "Hey! I'm voting for the other guy!"
- When Astro discovers his "accessories".Astro: What? I got machine guns? In my butt?!
- The best part about the machine guns? They were always there in each continuity of Astro Boy as silly as it may seem.
- And the first use of his Arm Cannons: "Hah! Cool!" *blam!* [goes flying backwards] "WHOAAA! AHH!"
- When Astro saves one of the guy's after him, and then has to deal with the reinforcements.Astro: What's with you guys?Guard: I love you!

◊ moment from the "Astro Reborn" arc. - There's a scene in one volume where Astro's school friends try to rescue him from a villain in what's generally a Moment of Awesome, but at one point their choice of taunt to the villain just comes off as hilarious for some reason: "We're going to cut off your beard and throw it in the garbage can!"

We've got two giant robots here and both are useless!!!
