"OOHH! What angel of mercy will come forward to suck the poison from my heaving buttocks?!"
There's probably too many examples to count but here are some highlights.
- The entire scene with "Bee Larry King" which lampshades the whole "Animal versions of human celebrities" by having Barry point out that there's a human version of him with the exact same concept.Barry: You know, they have a Larry King in the human world, too.
Bee Larry King: It's a common name. Next week on Bee Larry King-
Barry: No no, I mean he looks like you and he has a show with suspenders and different colored dots behind him.
Bee Larry King: Next week on Bee Larry King-
Barry: And old guy glasses and there's quotes along the bottom from the guest you're watching even though you just heard them.
(Barry Benson says: "There's quotes along the bottom from the guest you're watching even though you just heard them.)"
Bee Larry King: Bear Week next week! They're scary, they're hairy, and they're here live!
Barry: Always leans forward, pointy shoulders, squinty eyes, very Jewish...- Barry pointing out how he feels about the impact bees have had on the world.
- Even haters can't deny the awesomeness of Ray Liotta acting in typical crazy Ray Liotta fashion as himself.
- The scene when Barry first speaks to Vanessa.Vanessa: How'd you learn to do... the talking thing?
Barry: Same way you did, I guess. 'Mama', 'Dada', 'Honey', you pick it up. - At a warehouse, Barry uses his buzzes and stinger to interrogate the shelfstocker Hector about a location where the stolen honey is being supplied from. Hector backs up to the memo board behind him, and initially pretends to be scared of the bee before grabbing a nearby thumbtack which he then uses to duel Barry in a Sword Fight, exchanging quips while doing so. Also counts as a Moment of Awesome, as Barry wins the Blade Lock and disarms Hector by sending his tack flying back to the board, forcing him to surrender.
- Even better: the fight scene itself becomes the first boss fight in the movie's video game adaptation, and there's a Quick Time Event segment that has Barry dodge Hector's tack and run along his arm before punching him in the face, straight out of an anime fight scene!
- When the trial begins, Barry is asked if he's representing all bees. Knowing that everyone present in the courtroom is waiting in anticipation to see if a bee can actually talk, Barry decides to have some fun by pretending that he can't, instead answering with a series of buzzing noises, before clarifying he's just kidding and then responds seriously. Made even funnier by Adam's reaction to the buzzing noises, as he slowly turns his head towards Barry with a bewildered look on his face and silently mouths "What the…?".
- Layton T. Montgomery's freak out after getting stung by Adam.Montgomery: OOOOOH, I'M HIT!! Oh, Lordy, I am hit!Judge Bumbleton: Order! Order!Montgomery: The venom! The venom is coursing through my veins!Bumbleton: Please, Mr. Montgomery—-Montgomery: (as he rolls on the floor in front of the jury) I have been felled by a winged beast of destruction! You see!? You can't treat them like equals! They're striped savages!! Stinging's the only thing they know! It's their way!Barry: (to Adam) Adam, stay with me.Adam: (weakly) I...I can't feel my legs...Montgomery: (tossing himself into the arms of the bailiff) Ohhhh, what angel of mercy will come forward to suck the poison from my heaving...BUTTOCKS!? (the jury gasps in shock and one guy even crosses himself)Bumbleton: (as she bangs the gavel) PLEASE! I WILL have order in my court! Order! Order, please!Montgomery: (as he falls to the floor) Help me.
- After this, Montgomery appears in the later court scenes with both a bandage around his neck and an adult-sized baby walker.
- When Barry is arriving late to court, Adam stalls for time by showing the jury how to fold a paper into a boat. Somehow, everyone in the court got in on this, including one of the men on Montgomery's defense team who shows his paper boat to him, before he angrily snatches it and throws it at his face.
- Because Adam just had his stinger replaced with a toy sword, he also struggles adapting to life with it as the sword is longer than his stinger, causing him to clumsily lift his chair with it when he stands up and swipe the papers off his table when he turns around.
- What ultimately decides the case. "Honey slaves to the WHITE MAN!?" Cue the one black guy on the defense team awkwardly scooting away.
- Vanessa's boyfriend Ken, played by Patrick Warburton, has quite a few funny scenes.
- "WHY IS YOGURT NIGHT SO DIFFICULT?!"
- While Ken and Barry are left in the dining room to talk to each other, Vanessa calls to Ken from outside, telling him that Barry has read his resume and agreed that "eating with chopsticks" is not a special skill.
- When Ken accidentally bangs his head under the table and presses the champagne bottle against the bruise like an improvised ice pack, Barry gets up and decides to fly to the bathroom, but not before doing loop-the-loops in front of Ken which causes him to spill champagne onto his eyes and squeal. He then tries to do a Facepalm, but slaps himself on the head where the bruise is and yells out in pain and frustration.
- When he gets into a fight with Barry and sprays flower spray at him:Ken: I think something STINKS IN HERE! (sprays flower spray on Barry)
Barry: I love the smell of flowers!
Ken: (pauses for a second) Oh, yeah? How do you like the smell of FLAMES?! (Holds up a lighter in front of the air freshener spray)
Barry: Not as much! - When Barry lands in the toilet, we get some puns that wouldn't be out of place in a poker match.Ken: Well, well, well. A royal flush.Barry: You're bluffing!Ken (sinister): Am I?(flushes toilet)
- Then when Vanessa catches Ken attacking Barry, resulting in this hilarious gem.Vannesa: Ken! What are you doing?!
Ken: You know what? I don't even like honey! I DON'T EAT IT!
Vannessa: We need to talk! He's just a little bee! And he happens to be the nicest bee I've met in a long time!
Ken: "Long time?" What are you talking about?! Are there other bugs in your life?
Vanessa: No. But there are other things bugging me in life. And you're one of them!
Ken: FINE! Talking bees, no Yogurt Night! My nerves are fried on riding on this emotional roller coaster!
Vanessa: Goodbye, Ken!
(Ken exits, then re-enters)
Ken: And for your information, I prefer sugar-free, artificial sweeteners, MADE! BY! MAN! (leaves room again)
Vanessa: I'm so sorry about all that.
Ken: (reenters again) I know it's got an aftertaste! I LIKE IT! (Leaves once again) - His reaction at the end after seeing that Barry and Vanessa have opened a business of selling honey, flowers, and legal advice.Ken: OH! THAT BEE IS LIVING MY LIFE!
Ken's Friend: Let it go, Kenny.
Ken: WHEN WILL THIS NIGHTMARE END!?
- This bit of Black Comedy from Barry and Vanessa, where after seeing the ecological disaster brought about by winning the court case, they discuss on how to end their lives:Barry: How about a suicide pact?
Vanessa: How would we do it?
Barry: I sting you, you step on me.
Vanessa: That just kills you twice. - One of Barry's ideas for a pickup line before he rejects is "Ya' like jazz?"
- Part of Barry's Courtroom Antics involve demonstrating why a "honey bear" is a bad mascot for honey by bringing a live, feral bear into the courtroom. It rages and snarls, its handler barely able to control it, as the jury runs in terror... Until Barry says "OK, that's enough," at which point the bear calmly turns and walks out the door.
- Barry's daydream about Vanessa ends when Vanessa does a heart-shaped loop... right before crashing right into a plateau and exploding. Twice.
