Funny moments within The Kill Count go here.
As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
- James got the very special opportunity to interview Jamie Lee Curtis and Judy Greer about their work in Halloween. At the end of the interview, he asks them to say hello to Chelsea, who wasn't able to be there at the the interview. Since James mentions they're engaged, Jamie asks about their wedding and offers to officiate, and James has to tell her excitedly they already have another horror legend, Heather Langenkamp of A Nightmare on Elm Street, as their officiant. Jamie's reaction?Jamie Lee Curtis (facetiously): Okay, fuck you. Bye, have fun, whatever.
- The Horror Royal Rumble. It's a setup in the game WWE 2K19 where Chelsea has painstakingly created character models for 30 horror characters, and James and Chelsea comment blind over the AI-directed royal rumble match (new contestants enter at regular intervals and can be eliminated at any point by the ones who have already been there). The characters themselves add a lot of humor when their interactions play out, and the entrance sequences are also pretty hilarious how they've been crafted.
- One of the first two contestants is Demon Winter, and naturally, the intro music given to him is the "Disco Enchiladas" remix of his pooping duet that James and Chelsea have spotlighted multiple times before.
- Brenda Meeks is an entrant fairly early, and proves to have remarkable staying power in the match, as well as a record five opponent eliminations, fitting her Bugs Bunny-esque inexplicable endurance from her film series very well.
- One of the contestants is Stephen King, entering a ring which includes Tim Curry's Pennywise. James and Chelsea are delighted the two ended up in the ring together, and duly thrilled when King pretty quickly dispatches his own creation and eliminates the clown singlehandedly.
- Chef Julian Slowik is introduced with the viral Lil' Jon remix of "Cooking by the Book".
- Naturally, because this was Chelsea's brainchild, one of the contestants is Vince Vaughn's Norman Bates. Not only was the crowd made to boo him during the intro, but Norman is eliminated 15 seconds after entering the ring, with James and Chelsea attributing this to his unpopularity making the other fighters boot him quickly.
- Samara Morgan's character model has been given a tendency to perform frequent taunts, lending the ominous little ghost girl much more of a pesky and hilariously obnoxious personality in the wrestling ring.
- Ricky "Jupe" Park has the second-fastest elimination in the match at 18 seconds, fitting for his character's dangerously misguided swagger.
- As the embodiment of fandom gone too far, Annie Wilkes' theme music is "Stan".
- At the end of the match, James and Chelsea reveal there was another recorded rumble match they couldn't use, because one of the contestants was accidentally swapped out for real WWE wrestler and pre-set game character R-Truth, causing a jarring moment where the intro completely broke the fantasy matchup. Still, Chelsea admits she would have enjoyed that being sprung on them as part of the match they used, and commenters note that R-Truth wandering into the horror rumble by complete accident would be perfectly in-character.
- Since the 2023 Horror Royal Rumble was a major hit, the rumbles would become annual. The 2024 follow-up rumble has much more chuckles to behold:
- The second person in happens to be Slow Ass Muthafuckin' Jeff himself, and he lives up to the nickname the second he walks onto the crosswalk, taking a comical amount of time entering the ring. Ironically, he managed to survive the longest out of the first several contestants, only getting eliminated by the returning Brenda Meeks.
- When Valak enters the ring, James and Chelsea joke that the reason she's here is because of Trash having shown up to the ring buck-naked.note
- James and Chelsea are very confused when upon Herbert West's entrance into the ring, his coat is suddenly shiny. They comment on it several times, and when he's eliminated, tell him to go figure out what's wrong with it.
- Their Stunned Silence when Nancy Thompson is eliminated mere seconds after stepping into the ring, and to rub it in, she was the next entry after her Arch-Enemy Freddy Krueger, who just got eliminated.
- The FeardotCom episode. James and Chelsea's complete bafflement at the plot and any internal logical consistency: Who bought the website? How does the website maintain its viewership if it kills off everyone who watches it? Or is that a different website that doesn't kill you? How did a $40 million production not manage to get fear.com as the website instead of feardotcom.com? Even their camera guy, who is familiar with many strange plot summaries, interjects to call the plot "batshit." They all chalk it up the movie being an early 2000s movie about the Internet.
- One moment gets them particularly slaphappy, when a weird line from the film's killer has both James and Chelsea to say "Define birth!" in a manner similar to T He New Day, causing James to almost fall out of his chair.
- Both their reactions to finding out how high they placed Officer Dorf and Dieter Perez in their ranking
of Friday the 13th side characters.- Them discussing Dieter in general is hilarious. They don't know his name, so they just call him by descriptors.
