Billy hastily throwing an open beer can into Chris' lap when a cop pulls up next to them.
The military style detention.
Tommy and his friends are out buying tuxedos, one of them briefly argues that none of them look good on him. The movie then fast forwards through their argument, until the friend settles for a tuxedo t-shirt. It's such a goofy scene it almost seems out of place in an adaptation of a Stephen King book.
Chris repeatedly calling Billy a "stupid shit".
The fact that Norma always wears her cute little hat... Even when she's under a drying hood.
And behind the scenes, that was just something P. J. Soles happened to wear to her audition and the director loved it. She recalls showing up on set and his first words to her were "did you bring the hat?"
Priscilla Pointer on the 2001 Acting Carrie documentary discusses her 'audition' process - which was essentially to see if she could act alongside her real life daughter.
"And because the part was of Amy's mother, of course I played it extremely well."
When filming the scene of Miss Collins disciplining the girls, Brian DePalma had Betty Buckley off camera whispering nasty things in Amy Irving's ear to get her looking sad (he knew they drove to set together and thus it would sting more coming from Betty). Once that was done, Amy politely told her director that she was an actress and he could have just asked her to look sad.
There's a bit where, just before the tragedy strikes, Billy and Chris are hiding under the stairs. Billy keeps pushing it open so he can watch Carrie, and even says "That Carrie White, she sure is cute, despite his girlfriend being right next to him. It's the last bit of comic relief the movie has, which helps soften the blow a little.
The Rage: Carrie 2
During Jesse's date with Tracy, he gets disturbed by her lack of remorse for Lisa's suicide. Afterwards, he drops her off at her house. The instant Tracy is out of the car, he takes off at full speed. The look on Tracy's face is priceless.
Sue wants to confirm that Rachel has powers. Rather than ask her directly, she gives Rachel a "true or false" quiz, with a number of bizarre statements, leading up to "Sometimes I can move objects with my mind." Rachel is clearly off-put by the whole thing.
One of the statements is "Large, furry animals crawl on my face every night while I sleep." Rachel answers, "True." When Sue looks concerned, Rachel deadpans, "I have a dog."
2002 film
While Miss Desjardin only reminisces of her first period internally in the book, here she happily starts talking about it in front of the principal. He first gasps a horrified "ten!?" when she says what age it happened at, and she takes that as the cue to go into more detail. Until she finally notices his expression.
She also quips "up until a half hour ago, Carrie White thought her first period was home room" - which the principal finds Actually Pretty Funny.
The principal quiets everyone down by simply shouting "SHUT UP!!!"
Sue is giving the girls a lesson about bikini waxing. She compares the landing strip to Hitler's mustache.
Not to mention the scene has Kenny eavesdropping on it. He looks oddly fascinated.
After Margaret is rude to Estelle in the flashbacks, Estelle fires back with "suck it, you cow!"
Norma, portrayed as a Genki Girl by Meghan Black, is probably the funniest character in this version, especially when she gives the police an excessively detailed explanation of the school caste system while stuffing her face with donuts.
She dubs Chris's Girl Posse (including Sue) 'The Ultras'. The detective clearly wasn't expecting to hear that in a homicide investigation.
Tommy's brilliantly Genre Savvy speech, where he compares what Sue is asking him to do to the plot of She's All That.
"Freddie bets this dude that he can turn some ' she-geek' into the Prom Queen. Except, unlike Carrie White, this chick's a supermodel. But we're not supposed to know it because she's wearing glasses or something."
Carrie's web search subverts It's A Small Net After All by having one of the search results be for 'Miracle Underwear'.
Tina is such a ditz that when Miss Desjardin is saying that they think Carrie is ugly, Tina doesn't get that it's a rhetorical question and gives her a look that says "well duh".
Chris tries to intimidate Carrie passive aggressively, insinuating Sue doesn't really want to be her friend and just sees her as a "project".
Chris: She practically talked me into getting botox last year.
Carrie: (beat) Maybe she thought you needed it.
Also when Tommy first asks Carrie to prom, she responds with a perfectly timed Flat "What".
Carrie also sasses her mother when she tries to shame her for the dress showing off her "dirtypillows".
When Tommy comes to pick up Carrie, all of the floating furniture she's playing with accidentally crashes to the ground when he knocks on the door. The subsequent exchange comes off as a steamed hams meme.
Tommy: Did your ceiling, like, just collapse or something?
(something crashes in the distance)
Carrie: .............yes. Yes, my ceiling just collapsed. Just now.
The film has a deleted scene where Billy starts to drive recklessly when Chris calls him that. When Chris starts to freak out, Billy deadpans, "'Stupid shit'? This is how we drive."
The principal has visible problem with using words such as "period" and "tampons". While talking to Chris father, he says the girls were throwing "those things" at Carrie.
He's visibly unsure of how to deal with Carrie after the shower incident, first offering her aspirin, and then juice. Miss Desjardin has to deadpan "Juice? Really, Henry?"
Chris' outburst when she's trying to get her friends to skip detention with her. She really turns into a drama queen: "Someone could die of dehydration! Tina, you have a heart condition, right?"
Tommy: No, I'm just kidding. (awkward Beat; walks away).
A few seconds before this scene, Desjardin dances a little too wildly on the dance floor.
A little bit that also counts as adorable is Carrie reminding Tommy that she has to be home by 10:30 and then she cheekily says it could be 11:00 instead.
As the girls are getting ready for the prom, they briefly mention Sue and the twins say in unison "she looked awful" when they saw her. Of course it turns out that Sue is pregnant. Talk about No Sympathy!
In a dark bit of humor, Margaret White pries slowly open the crack in the closet door Carrie threw her into, her hands bloody and torn-up from the spliters of wood, and reaches over to undo the lock....only to discover Carrie soldered the metal lock with her mind and now it won't move. Her expression just reads "Are you kidding me?!" after she's put forth all that effort just to be thwarted.
Stage musical
The song "A Night We'll Never Forget" has this gem:
All Boys: Eighty bucks for a tux! Damn, we'd better get laid.
Girl: You've been prayin' for that since seventh grade!
Random Guy:(spoken) Well, yeah.
All Boys: It's the least we deserve after everything we paid.
unsorted
In every version, the girls' reaction to Miss Desjardin saying she suggested that their punishment be losing their prom tickets.
Carrie herself has a funny Mood Whiplash moment when she accidentally breaks the mirror with her telekinesis.
