* A while ago, there was an officially approved joke comic (by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Allie Scott Allie]] and [[HackSlash Tim Seeley]]) floating around the internet. In it, Dexter, syringe in hand, is shown attacking [[http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/4691/dextervjason.jpg a hulking killer]]... who turns out to be [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]]. [[http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/4537/jasonvdextertwo.jpg Cue]] MegatonPunch.

** The chain of events leading to the scene are ridiculous(ly funny) as well. Lumen shoots a man whom she suspects to be her rapist, then starts beating him with her shoe to get him to admit it while he's continually telling her that he has no idea what he's talking about. After Dexter kills the rapist, the other naked gay rapist swathed in plastic whom he was planning to kill earlier that night escapes his car, and Dexter has to chase him down. All of this while Deb, Masuka, and [=EMT=]s are closing in on the scene.

** The bit where Dexter's monologue is going and the audio of Masuka's explanation is muted and you see him making exaggerated masturbation gestures while the [=EMT=]s and Deb just watch sends me into fits of laughter every time I watch that episode.

* In "Run", Dexter's victim starts dropping F-bombs (including an {{atomic|FBomb}} one) when he realizes the futility of his cries for help. Dexter then starts hopping around like a monkey and imitating him before getting in his face and screaming it at him. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-ub_oagrSk Here's a video.]

* Paul, Rita's abusive ex-husband, is attempting to legally remove Rita's custody of her children. Alone in the kitchen, Paul snidely threatens Dexter and Rita. Of course, we never get to hear him finish his threat, because Dexter promptly clocks him over the head with a frying pan. The real kicker to the scene is Dexter staring down at the body, cringing with the realization of what he just did. Of course, he finds a solution...

* When the team examined the block of ice from the Ice Truck Killer, we got this hilarious exchange:
--> '''Debra''': Watching ice melt, this is fun.
--> '''Masuka''': Stand a little closer, Morgan, and I'll melt your heart.
--> '''Batista''': I think he's got a crush on you, Dex!
--> '''Dexter''': Huh?
--> '''Masuka''': Yo, I was talking to Morgan the sister. Vince Masuka only swings one way.

* Dexter's "conversation" with Barry is the pinnacle of deadpan humor. As Dexter beats the crap out of him by striking specific parts of the body, the guy collapses and convulses while Dexter calmly explains the scientific trivia for why each blow hurts so much, all in a flat monotone voice and while a rather upbeat song plays in the background. Priceless.
