* Wags visits the Qadiri consulate to meet with Farhad, a representative of the shiekh. When Farhad tries to renegotiate the shiekh's [[https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/two_and_twenty.asp two and twenty]] fee to Axe Capital, Wags' response is pure RefugeInAudacity:
--> '''Wags:''' It doesn't matter if [the shiekh's investment is] as swole as [[Film/BoogieNights Dirk Diggler on his first night with Roller Girl]]. This is one of those rare cases where size does not actually matter. You know how the price of admission for women into your fine country is that they cover their ta-tas and donut? Well, our version of that is two and twenty. We won't stone you if you refuse, but we will kick you out of our fund.

** After much hype, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwxvVf9kQhU the actual boxing match]] consists of a few rounds of ''very'' mediocre boxing after which both men are too exhausted to do much fighting. Barely able to throw punches (let alone land them), they resort to illegal moves like groin punches and foot stomps before both of them collapse in the ring at the same time. The increasingly exasperated commentators declare it to be the worst WimpFight they have ever seen. After a draw is declared, the disappointed spectators end up pelting the two men with litter.
** The icing on this particular cake is the ecstatic reaction of Winston (the head quant at TMC), who wins a ton of money because he was the only one to bet on a draw.

* In "The Nordic Model", Spyros becomes deeply insecure about his own intelligence when his pretending to be a Mensa member sinks a meeting between Axe and the chairwoman of the SEC. He struggles with questions from the Mensa test given by Ben Kim, which Mafee (of all people) continuously aces. Spyros eventually takes the test for real, and when he passes he proceeds to [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk rub his Mensa membership card]] in the faces of everyone in the office who doubted him. Then it's revealed that Mafee, Ben and Tuk rigged the test from Mafee's computer (having predicted that [[EvilIsPetty Spyros failing it would provoke him to sabotage everyone else's trades to salve his pride]]), with Mafee remarking that this is the last nice thing he's ever doing for anybody.

Later, while he and Ben Kim are posing as a gay couple as part of the Vart Bank sting, we hear Tuk making these noises when Ben strokes his neck. Tuk remarks that he can't help it.
