"My name is Hacha Chacha, and here is my spiel! A diabolical plan with lots of ap-peal!"
  • Professor Utonium goes to get gifts for the newly born Powerpuffs and drives right out the garage... forgetting one important rule about parenting.
    Professor Utonium: (while driving away) All I've gotta do is be a good parent!
    (Beat)
    Professor Utonium: (driving back) Note to self: Good parents don't leave their kids home alone.
  • When the Professor comes back
    Professor Utonium: heading downstairs fast' Sugar, spice, and everything nice, who would have guessed that's what little girls were actually made of? I still can't believe it worked, that I actually made three perfect little girls! Three perfect, normal little gi— ahh! (He slips on his way down the lab stairs, failing wildly as the presents go askew. As he falls, Blossom catches him and sets him safely down. The Professor looks on astonished as Blossom floats casually in front of him)
    Blossom: Professor, you should be more careful when coming down the steps. You could get hurt.
    (Buttercup and Bubbles float into the scene, each brandishing a large pile of presents.)
  • After the Professor warns the girls that people... might need some time to get used to their powers:
    Blossom: People here are nice! Things'll be fine!
    (cut to newspaper heading "Freaky Bug-Eyed Weirdo Girls Broke EVERYTHING")
  • Pick-up line from a random man to a woman in his penthouse: "You know... I have a nice car." It so happens that a car was flying right into them.
  • Also from the tag scene: Blossom is running up a building, when she hears Bubbles' voice, then gets down from the building to go after Bubbles and... has to wait for the light to turn green.
  • "So we have Blossom, Bubbles, and... hmmm... Buttercup because... it also begins with a B."
    • Given Buttercup was blinking excessively during this moment, it means the Professor completely overlooked a name that was both descriptive and fit the B-theme. Alternately, he could have named her Bobbie after her bob-haircut.
  • All of the monkeys Mojo Jojo exposed to Chemical X announcing their own plans to take over Townsville rather than following Mojo's lead, a lot of them with very subtle puns. The first few are fairly serious, but they become increasingly silly. For example, one calls himself Blah-Blah Blah-Blah and stutters while stating his plan to destroy Townsville with a tormato (a tornado made of tomatoes) while a proboscis monkey named Hatcha Chatcha (who is voiced in an impression of Jimmy Durante, because of course he is) has banana peels everywhere so that everyone slips all over the place.
    • Mojo Jojo's increasingly incredulous and annoyed reactions to his army turning on him are worth a laugh, particularly when the Mayor — whom Mojo Jojo has pinned under his boot — joins in on the commentary.
  • Even though heartwarming, Talking Dog saying "Thank you" is funny in which it is just his only line.
    • It's also clearly supposed to be a Wham Line as there was no previous indication that he can talk—anyone who's seen the show knows he can anyway, but the uninitiated would likely do a Double Take.
  • The girls return a baby to its mother. Of course as soon as they fly off...
    Woman: Wait, this isn't my baby!
  • Mojo Jojo, after speaking relatively normally throughout the entire film, finally going bananas and speaking in his rambling, redundant, badly-translated-from-Japanese syntax is both this and a Moment of Awesome.
  • It's in the middle of an extremely sad scene, but Buttercup saying that the asteroid will be the girls' home from now on (because they've exiled themselves from Earth) and pointing out where Bubbles is going to sleep, followed by Bubbles wailing, "I DON'T WANNA SLEEP ON A ROCK!!" is pretty funny.
  • In a Deleted Scene, while the girls are helping Mojo Jojo build his lair, Professor Utomium gets calls from the police, making reports of the girls' actions, and accusations of causing trouble, and Utonium has to dismiss each one of these claims, getting increasingly annoyed as he does. It's also a Heartwarming Moment and Moment of Awesome for the Professor as he fiercely defends his girls.
    Professor Utonium: BAD?! YOU SAY THEY'RE BEING BAD?! WELL, YOU ALSO SAY THEY'RE CAUSING TORNADOS IN THE DESERT! AND I SAY THAT'S A LOAD OF HOT AIR!!! GOOD BYE!!
  • What does Blossom do after tagging Bubbles? Blow a Raspberry at her.
    • Bubbles's reaction to that also sums up this scene when she glares at the audience and flies out of the shot, leaving a huge crater.
  • The Mayor's over-the-top reaction to the Powerpuff Girls destroying his favorite pickle cart.
    The Mayor (pointing at the Professor and addressing the two police officers with him): That's him, boys! He's in cahoots with the evil pickle cart killers! Cucumber crushers! Vinegar violators! Dil-stroyers! Why, it's just not kosher! It's—
    Ms Bellum: Let it go, Mayor. Let it go.
    • The scene in which the girls are watching various news segments in which the citizens of Townsville talk about how much they hate them has the Mayor holding up two pictures of the pickle cart the girls wrecked during their game of "tag", in chalk outline as if it were a murder victim.
