  • Ares' sense of humor. Mainly through the robotic Justin Pin clone he controls, but even after The Reveal he's still snarky.
    • "Eh, agree to disagree."
  • The Running Gag of Momo getting his head stuck in closing doors. It's even a plot point in the finale where he props open the door for people to escape. Poor little guy's head is amazingly durable!
  • "Noodle time, noodle time, I can't wait for noodle... aye!" (Stops singing as Mai stabs the robot in the head with a pair of chopsticks.)
  • When Mai's mother notices that Mai has a black eye and realizes that her daughter is still being bullied at school, she gives her a hug tells her that she knows what it's like to feel alone. But she only feels like that sometimes, and she asks if Mai knows why while looking at her with a comforting smile... that's right, it's thanks to the family Q-Bot! Mai gives a little yell and storms off to her room in frustration.
  • The toothbrush scene, from the grandiose way the fight between Mai and a robot toothbrush is filmed to its unclimactic ending by way of 7723 just blowing the annoying thing up.
  • Justin Pin delivers a lot of funny lines in the movie just by nature of how he talks about everything, even his own plans for genocide, like he's making small talk with a colleague. Special mention, though, goes to how he starts stammering and going on about what a normal human person he is when Mai catches his slip in calling her mother "the human woman".
    Justin Pin: ...I do normal human things all the time. All the time! Literally, you could ask any other human, and....
  • Justin Pin planning to kill Dr. Rice after finding out that his robot is still alive, another scene which is both disturbing and also darkly funny due to Justin's incredibly casual and realistically stuttery delivery while a Bound and Gagged Rice panics in the background.
    Justin Pin: Look, I-I mean I'm not mad, about this, I mean this is pretty cool, I could really use a robot like that, so y... I mean you betrayed me and I have to kill you now, but I could've—no no no, could you stop? You could stop, I... please, just listen... I-I-I can't understand what you're saying—you know what? Nevermind.
