** Patty has a few more moments during the theatre scene: when the group splits up and she's on her own, she says that she thought that the group would be [[NotWhatISignedUpFor more like a book club]], and that if she sees the twin girls from ''Film/TheShining'', she's [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere leaving]]; when she comes across a creepy room full of mannequins, she declares it a "room full of [[NightmareFuel nightmares]]" and elects not to go in; and when one of those mannequins appears suddenly behind her in the hall, she knows exactly what's going to happen:
--->'''Patty:''' Was that there before? Never mind, don't answer that. ''[mannequin suddenly turns to face her]'' I said don't answer! ''[runs away in horror as the mannequin chases her]''

** Kevin's inability to properly operate the phone at the office, whether it be not answering it properly, hanging up because he didn't like the caller's voice, or trying to use TechnoBabble to sound like the other Ghostbusters. During Rowan's attack while [[spoiler: possessing Kevin]], the girls demand he unhand him because "He was getting the hang of the phone!" And in one of {{the stinger}}s, Abby says that she's just going to unplug his phone, but Erin says he probably wouldn't notice.

** More like he's baffled because '''he''' was never told the cover-story ''his own subordinates'' have been spreading around to the press. To cap it off, some dude photobombs the interview while the Mayor is standing there looking dumb.

** Could also rate as a bit of a VisualPun MythologyGag, as [[spoiler: it illustrates how this film's Ghostbusters have actual busts.]]
