History Funny / Fringe

** And ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' is playing at a movie theatre...''starring [[TheOtherMarty Eric Stoltz]]''.

* [[StarWars "These aren't the droids you're looking for."]] Oh, ''Walter''...

** Plus it looks like a funny dance anyway.

* Let's just say [[MoodWhiplash half]] of "Brown Betty". One highlight is Rachel singing the episode's first big musical number. [[spoiler: In Walter's voice. While in the real world Astrid and Ella look at the singing and dancing Walter like he's lost his mind.]]
** Singing corpses. That is all.
*** No it's not. What makes it even funnier is the fact that Anna Torv ''somehow'' managed to keep a straight face.
** "Esther Figglesworth."

* After [[spoiler:John Scott's]] funeral:
--> '''Olivia:''' He used me, Charlie. He told me he loved me.\\

** Also a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}, since Charlie said that to a miserable Olivia just to make her laugh again.
*** Same episode, Walter is just about to ''drill a hole'' into a man's head and the moment is made even funnier by the epic music build that comes just before an ominous knock on the door...
-->'''Freshman: ''' [[MoodWhiplash Is this Poli Sci 101?]]
-->'''Olivia:''' [[{{Beat}} *beat*]] [[DeadpanSnarker ...Not remotely.]] *shuts door*
** And again, from the same episode ("The Ghost Network") after said hole-drilling:
--> '''Walter''': Oh my, God.
--> '''Roy''': What's wrong?
--> '''Walter''': I believe with the right demodulation, you could receive satellite TV for free.

* I can't have been the only one who cracked up laughing when Walter [[spoiler: was named CEO of Massive Dynamic.]]

* "No, Walter. It's still me." Made all the more funnier by the fact [[spoiler: that it actually works.]]
** Seconded. [[spoiler: Anna Torv imitating Leonard Nimoy's speech patterns]] is nothing short of hilarious.
*** Oh definitely... NarmCharm at its finest.
* [[spoiler: Bellivia]] repeatedly [[DirtyOldMan flirting with Astrid]]. That is all.
** Astrid's reaction: Closing the top buttons her blouse.
* [[spoiler: Bellivia]] and Walter getting high...and considering putting [[spoiler: Bell's]] consciousness into ''Gene''.

-->[[spoiler: '''Bellivia''']]: We could assign Astrid.
** Let's just say that anything involving [[spoiler: Bellivia]] is a CMOF. If only for [[spoiler: Anna Torv]] attempting to speak in [[spoiler: Leonard Nimoy]]'s voice patterns.

* Bug Girl flirting with Scarlie, completely ignoring Fauxlivia (who smirking the entire time) and the HurricaneOfPuns that follow. Better Yet? [[spoiler: He ends up ''marrying'' Bug Girl.]]

* 3x19. Peter and [[spoiler: Broyles]]. High on LSD. The later unintentionally. The episode lived up to its name. A bit of MoodWhiplash and MindScrew when [[spoiler: high!Broyles reveals how freaked out he was by his alternate's brutal death...]] but otherwise hilarious. Highlights include Peter accusing Broyles of being an Observer and [[spoiler:Broyles]] waving and whistling to an imaginary animated bird on Walter's shoulder.

* The entire scene with Walter's secret stash of [[spoiler: Fringe evidence.]]
-->'''Walter:''' [[spoiler: My porcupine man!]]

* [[spoiler:Donald/September]] has a sense of humour.

-->'''[[spoiler:Donald:]]''' You're saying that like we're not carrying technology that can bend space and time into a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B6bius_strip Möbius Strip.]]

* This, between a [[spoiler: married Fauxlivia and Lincoln who have aged even if Olivia hasn't.]]

-->'''Walter:''' Anti-gravity osmium bullets. Shoot [[spoiler:the Observers]] with this and watch them float away like balloons.

* The first season episode "Safe" when Peter has to jog Walter's memory about having a safety deposit box somewhere in Providence, Rhode Island [[spoiler: that is about to be stolen.]] Walter admits he's tried everything to remember where he might have had these safety deposit boxes, but hasn't been able to come up with anything.

* Then there's Walter demonstrating how a radiological treatment [[YourHeadAsplode made a woman's head explode]] using "Mr. Papaya" who has been outfitted with big googly eyes and pipe-cleaner limbs. "This is upsetting, 'cause he is the friendliest of fruits." Mr. Papaya goes splat. [[EverythingsBetterWithCows The Cow moos in surprise]].

-->'''Peter''': To focus? Mister Broyles… two-thirds of the time, my father’s not even lucid. And in those rare and unpredictable moments of clarity, he rambles on about the foods and beverages that he missed while he was incarcerated in a mental institution for the better part of the last two decades. To say that he’s not focused… Is to say that he’s a bi-ped – which is to say, you’re absolutely right. He’s not focused. And also, it’s not going to change anytime too soon. [[TheRant I’m his son – I’m not a puppeteer. I’d don’t have a remote control. There’s no master switch I can flick and turn him into the man I wish had raised me, or even somebody I don’t have to baby-sit ever day.]] … ''({{Beat}})'' I guess I’ve had that on my mind for awhile.

** Also a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming, since Charlie said that to a miserable Olivia just to make her laugh again.

-->'''BROYLES''': I don’t expect miracles… I don’t know if I expect anything. But I am grateful - for whatever you can do in this case.
-->'''WALTER''': (oblivious) Sorry?
-->'''BROYLES''': I was just saying I’m grateful for your work.
-->'''WALTER''': You’re most welcome! You know I had a fruit cocktail once. In Atlantic City. Mind you, I’m not a fruit cocktail sort of guy!
-->'''BROYLES''': ''({{Beat}})'' Excuse me. ''(Walks over to Peter)'' We need to discuss your father.
-->'''PETER''': Is it the fruit cocktail thing again?
-->'''BROYLES''': Mhmm.
-->'''PETER''': Yeah, he’s been doing that recently. He gets obsessed about certain foods. It’s weird.
-->'''BROYLES''': We need him to focus.
-->'''PETER''': To focus? Mister Broyles… two-thirds of the time, my father’s not even lucid. And in those rare and unpredictable moments of clarity, he rambles on about the foods and beverages that he missed while he was incarcerated in a mental institution for the better part of the last two decades. To say that he’s not focused… Is to say that he’s a bi-ped – which is to say, you’re absolutely right. He’s not focused. And also, it’s not going to change anytime too soon.

There’s no master switch I can flick and turn him into the man I wish had raised me, or even somebody I don’t have to baby-sit ever day.]] … ''({{Beat}}'' I guess I’ve had that on my mind for awhile.
-->'''BROYLES''': [[DeadpanSnarker Apparently.]]

* The scene where Peter meets the Observer. The best part is when the observer starts going faster than Peter.

* Walter whispering indignantly to Peter that if he really must eat burgers in the lab he could at least be discrete about it - as he looks significantly towards resident lab cow, Gene. Peter responding with an attempt to take a hugely defiant bite and giving up in disgust as Gene lets out a loud moo of protest.

* The alternate universe has a hit musical called ''[[{{Cats}} Dogs]]''. Just try to imagine that and not laugh.

-->'''Fauxlivia:''' Oh what, because nothing says {{Badass}} like a flying rat.

--> Walter: (gesturing at large ugly creature on table he's been dissecting) The slug.

* Walter whispering indignantly to Peter that if he really must eat burgers in the lab he could at least be discrete about it - as he looks significantly towards resident lab cow, Gene. Peter responding with an attempt to take a hugely defiant bite and giving up in disgust as Gene lets out a loud moo of protest.

-->'''Walter''': *Absent-mindedly brushing Gene* Providence? That would have to be the Fairemont Savings Bank off of Westminster Street. It's the only one with safety deposit boxes suitable to my purposes. *Beat, then Walter looks up* Oh. Well done, son!

-->[as Walter] I had a fruit cocktail, once, in Atlantic City- [loud gong from offscreen, laughter; he breaks character] What, is this "TheGongShow", or something?

* Charlie's reaction to "Gene" the cow in the Pilot episode

* In "The Firefly," the way Walter reacts when Roscoe Joyce tells him that his only scientific achievement was inventing a strawberry milkshake recipe.

-->'''Olivia:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Not remotely.]]

-->'''Nina:''' He's a bit unrthodox.\\

-->'''Freshman: ''' [[MoodWhiplash Is this Poly Sci 101?]]

* Walter, Peter, Astrid, and the cow watching [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants SpongeBob]] from the same episode. True to form, Walter comments that it's "quite profound for a narrative a bout a sponge."

* The man in "5x08" who cheerfully announces that he has captured [[BadassDamsel Olivia Dunham]] caused a few giggles from anyone even remotely familiar with the series.
