* Actually, Phil pretty much lived with these, along with Crowning Moments of Awesome. The following conversation was related in the fourth season of ''After The Catch''.
-->'''Mike Rowe:''' We were up in Seattle, and I was outside the bar, and Phil rides up on this new Titan. I say "Hey Phil, how you doing?" He goes "I got nothing to say to you."
-->'''*all the captains laugh uproariously*'''
-->'''Mike:''' I'm like, "Why?", and he says, "Well, I just bought this new bike, and it's all I wanna talk about." So I say, "Okay, how's the bike?" And he says "Mike, how can you talk about a bike if you haven't ridden it?" And he hands me the keys, and heads into the bar.

** In an After the Catch, Mike Rowe mentioned owning a motorcycle to Phil. When he found out Mike didn't own a Harley, he gave Mike the keys to one of his Hogs and ordered him to ride it for a while.

**** And the war continues: The crew of the ''Northwestern'' decided to kick off the 2011 king crab season by sneaking aboard the ''Time Bandit'' in the middle of the night and inflating a life raft in the middle of their bunk area while the crew was alseep. Then to top it off Josh Harris, now a ''Time Bandit'' deckhand, got a bucketful of flour tossed in his face courtesy of his brother Jake, now working aboard the ''Northwestern''.

** At the beginning of the 2011 Opilio season, ''Seabrooke'' captain Scott "Jr." Campbell and some of his crew decided it would be a good idea to [[GenericGraffiti tag]] the crane of the ''Time Bandit'' with a lightning bolt and his boat's initials. Andy and Jonathan retaliate by going out and purchasing over 1000 eggs and then calling in help from the ''Northwestern'' and the ''Rambling Rose''. The end result is a mass egging of the ''Seabrooke'' and her crew, proving once again that you Do Not Screw With the Hillstrand Brothers.

The Chinese lanterns trick from the latest season.

Added DiffLines:

** At the end of king crab season 2010, Johnathan Hillstrand launched a set of 40 Chinese lanterns into the air near the ''Northwestern''. He also disabled his GPS and killed his boat lights to keep anyone on the ''Northwestern'' from seeing him. As Johnathan hoped, Sig Hansen ''freaked out'' at seeing over three dozen unidentified flying lights near his ship. And it was ''hilarious''.

Click Even a show as serious as ''DeadliestCatch'' can bring the edit button funny. Here's some of the best moments:

* All the practical jokes. For example:
** The infamous "flour bomb": Put a bag of flour on the line by the buoy so it explodes when it hits the block.
** Phil putting a length of pipe on a line belonging
to start the ''Northwestern''.
** The ''Wizard'' attaching a porta-potty to another boat's pot.
** The ''Time Bandit'' once replaced a pot from the ''Cornelia Marie'' with '''a junked truck'''.
** A few times, one boat will weld one of another boat's pots shut.
** ''Northwestern'' deckhand Jake Anderson stealing Jonathan Hillstrand's USA Jacket, then wearing it with a hat on deck and impersonating him. The Hillstrands responded by ''hanging him in effigy''. Later they ''burned his effigy'' ostensibly because the presence of the dummy's ''Northwestern'' sweatshirt was offending the Crab God(s).
** During the "Jake swap" in Season 6, ''Northwestern'' emptied one of ''Cornelia Marie'''s pots, replaced the contents with an IOU, and made sure ''Jake Harris'' was implicated in the prank.
** Near the end of King Crab 2009 the ''Time Bandit'' crew pulled one of the ''Northwestern'''s pots and stuck an alligator skull in the webbing, hoping that the crew of the ''Northwestern'' would think it came from some prehistoric sea monster. It worked.
** While down in New Orleans Andy Hillstrand and Wild Bill went crawdad fishing, but while Andy pulled up full "pots" Wild Bill pulled up almost all blanks. The truth didn't come out until they were filming ''After The Catch IV'': Andy had gone back and emptied nearly all of Wild Bill's crawdad traps into his own.
* The captains seeing their show dubbed in different languages. The funny comes in when you realize all the clips are of ''[[RantInducingSlight arguments]]''.
* Phil's method for hunting opilio? Sniffing out crab farts. [[color:white: He's just messing with his sons.]]
* The various times Edgar sets stuff/his crewmembers/''himself'' on fire.
* On ''Time Bandit'' during 2009 King Crab, Scott Hillstrand was feeling down about an impending divorce, so Captain Jonathan let his son take the wheel for a bit. The crew took that opportunity to put on a show, and by "show" I mean [[NakedPeopleAreFunny deckhand Mike Fourtner stripping to his boxers (which got ripped when he fell on his rear end)]], spraying him with water, and blowing up a watermelon (they love their firecrackers).

* "You're gonna set
this new page. string, then you're gonna set another, then you're gonna make dinner, then you're gonna take a watch, then you're gonna do it all - over - ''again.''"
* Keith bet the camera crew on the ''Wizard'' that they couldn't stay up for a 36-hour pot run, filming every pot as it came up. He lost the bet...and had to spend 15 minutes in the crow's nest in his skivvies.
* When Johnathan decided to spend some time on the deck, he was going to toss the hook under handed rather than over handed like everyone else. He ended up whacking himself in the face, with blood, bruises and all.
--> '''Johnathan''': ''(to the camera immediately afterward)'' A face only a mother could love! ''(laughs)''
* Young Phil showing up at his disapproving guidance counselor's house with his first $100,000 in a sack and offering to buy it from her (she declined).
* During a ''really'' bad run where several pots were completely empty or nearly so, the ''Time Bandit'''s crew started razzing Capt. Andy; he responded by having bottle rockets shot at them.
* Jake Harris' recounting a phone call he had with Phil after buying his first motorcycle. Keep in mind that as far as Phil was concerned, motorcycles were Harley's, and that was '''it'''.
--> '''Jake''': Hey, I got a bike.\\
'''Phil''': Oh, that's cool. What'd you get?\\
'''Jake''': An R1.\\
'''Phil''': [[IHaveNoSon You're fired.]] ''(hangs up phone)''
