Grimm (TV)/Funny

• Monroe is quite a reliable source of these, with his constant irritation over being roped into acting as Nick's partner regarding the supernatural. "I was in the middle of Pilates!"
• From "Danse Macabre":

Sgt. Wu: Looks like he faced the music.
Det. Griffin: ...You really went there?
Sgt. Wu: Somebody had to.

• Also from "Danse Macabre", when Nick placed a fake rat on the pizza box to fool Hank. He warns of payback.
• Another one from "Danse Macabre": The refrigerator repairman. Nick's reaction is equally hilarious. As the repairman proceeds to freak out over having found his way into the home of a Grimm, Nick simply gives him a somewhat bewildered raise of an eyebrow. He shows up again in "Let Your Hair Down" with several of his friends. They end up acting like teenagers in a horror movie. And once more in "Island of Dreams", delivering a quilt and a cherry pie, as well as repairing a doorknob and assuring Nick that he's doing what he can to keep other wesen out of Nick's hair.
• Again, from "Danse Macabre":

Det. Griffin: How does a kid do something like that?
Nick: Well, he was an outsider and he was pushed too far...
Det. Griffin: Yeah, I know that, but how did he get all those rats to attack those kids?
Nick: Oh. <Beat> I don't know.

• Sasha Roiz and David Giuntoli (Renard and Nick's actors respectively)'s twitters. David refers to himself as a "newborn elf" and tweets like a kid on a sugar rush, while Sasha is quite amicable and witty, and has set his twitter wallpaper... to unicorns and rainbows.
  • Roiz once responded to a tweet lamenting that due to him being behind a desk, he probably wouldn't be able to be shirtless. He replied, "But it ups the chance of being pantless"! Cue fangirl squee and swoon.
  • Becomes even funnier when, in "Three Coins in a Fuchsbau", Renard DOES have a shirtless scene!
  • Speaking of fangirl squee, one of David's tweets answered two popular questions: no, his costar Silas didn't have twitter, and yes, he would marry us.
• From "Game Ogre":

Monroe: (Talking about the creature of the week) Fortunately, they're very rare, but if you ever run across one...
Nick: (Who's in a hospital bed after being smacked senseless by the Ogre) *Death Glare*
Monroe: (Awkwardly) Well... I guess you... have.

• Also from "Game Ogre" - Monroe agrees to help take down the Ogre ("Okay, he said, somewhat tenuously") and visits Marie's trailer. He finds the poison ("Gift is German for poison, which I always thought was weird around Christmas time..."), and takes a whiff ("Ooh, that's gonna stick with me for a while!"). Finally, he opens the weapons cabinet... and gets this big-eyed look of ":D" awe on his face ("This is... awesome!")
  • It adds an extra level of funny when you notice that they write the scene as an inversion of the typical "Hero finds secret lair of mythical/legendary thing/person and explores". We have to remember that Monroe is also new to all the world of the Grimms as much as Nick is new to the world of non-humans. Monroe didn't even think Grimms were real in the pilot.
• Monroe's disparaging remarks about the mouse people, ending with the comment "And that cartoon thing they have going on? Pft, what a racket!"
• Monroe pissed off at Nick for not having a normal human conversation.
• Monroe's false start with the...train thing, and his minor freakout as he realizes he's going to be facing whats basically a dragon without a plan.
• Once again, Monroe provides the funny in "The Thing with Feathers" when he gets offended by Nick calling Rosalee instead of him.
  • Rosalee lampshades it when Monroe (mildly) protests Nick calling her by telling them to do 'their thing' later when there isn't an emergency.
• These! They're so cute!
• "Love Sick": When Wu is given the antidote for his illness, he literally goes red like a tomato.
  • And as they wonder whether the cure worked, he spits out the carpet he was eating and it hits Rosalee in the face. Complete with a *doink* sound effect.
    • Actually I think the doink was just in your head, but don’t worry, you're not the only one who thought it should be there.
      • More of a faint, metallic "ping" sound, actually. Still hilarious.
    • Pretty sure everyone involved thought it was funny since it looked like Rosalee's actress was attempting very hard not to break out in laughter when the carpet hit her in the face.
  • And then the poor guy realizes he’s surrounded by strangers (and one coworker) in his apartment while in his boxers. There’s a reason Butt Monkey was added to the guy's character sheet after this episode.
• After all the drama of the big fight between Nick and Adalind, we get the aftermath of Monroe and Rosalee tending to Hank, and Monroe asking Nick how they're going to explain the presence of two random people in the bedroom of what the muggle (Hank) thinks is his girlfriend's house while he’s probably naked under those sheets. The sheer awkwardness of that situation is just made of cringe humor. (Too bad we don’t see it on screen)
• Monroe having dinner at Nick's. The sheer awkwardness of the whole thing is so excruciatingly embarrassing that it's hilarious.
• A small one but as Rosalee and Monroe work on paralysing a cat, Monroe makes various remarks about how blutbaden don't really work well with pets and how they should just use a 2x4 to knock the cat out. Rosalee just gives him the funniest an aside glance.
