Night Court/Funny
- Just about anytime John Astin showed up as Buddy.
- In Constitution, Part 2, as Dan is trying to administer an insulin shot to a hallucinating Roz, while she is standing on a roof ledge.
Roz: What's that behind your back?
Dan: (Beat) New Jersey!
- In Danny Got His Gun, Part 1, Dan - who is in the US Army Reserves - is called into active duty. Fearful that he is going to be sent into a war zone, he plots to fake several physical injuries to get out of going. His tune changes and he has a miraculous recovery when he finds out that his commanding officer on the mission he's been chosen for is a Hot Amazon and that the mission involves them posing as a couple and going undercover at an exotic resort, in order to do reconnaissance on a Banana Republic. And that's when Dan's Plan B kicks in as his Bumbling Sidekick Phil the Bum shows up with flowers, candy and a declaration of his love for Dan.
Dan: It's not what you think! I'm paying him!
Female Officer: (Beat) That's even MORE disgusting!
- One Halloween episode has Dan thinking that he has literally sold his soul to the devil, leading to:
Dan: He knows everything! Every lie, every sleazy deal, things I never told anyone!
Mac: Except me!
Dan: [...] You. You? YOU!!! Oh thank God!! [keels over]
- Even better is Mac's response when Dan recovers.
Dan: WHY?!
Mac: (barely repressing a giggle) The Devil made me do it.
Harry "Sumos again?"
- Harry tells someone he has every Mel Torme record ever released:
Harry: I'm gonna marry the girl that's impressed by that.
- From the first episode:
"The Defense wants Heads, Your Honor!"
- To expand, Harry had been making decisions by flipping a coin, such as saying that if the coin came up "Heads", he'd remain a judge, and "Tails", he'd resign. Then he told Carla B. that if it was "Heads", he'd fine her, and "Tails" he'd jail her. And again, it was Heads. We finally learn that Harry was using a double-headed coin.
- This scene.
- After Dan accidentally destroys Harry's Mel Torme record collection, Harry has to be physically restrained. Filled with rage, we get this classic line:
Harry: I am going to Eat...His...Eyebrows!
