History Funny / Psych

*** It's more humorous and surprising that he didn't understand all the obvious hints before TheReveal.

* In "He Dead," there's the way that a SpoiledBrat complains about his father "Taking away my Porsche, making me get a job, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers selling my tiger]]."

** When Henry's StalkerWithACrush starts talking about [[MayDecemberRomance her love for]] {{Silver Fox}}es: "Terry Bradshaw, George Clooney, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Dick Cheney."]]

** The episode's flashback scene shows Shawn ask Henry how babies are born and receiving a woefully inaccurate explanation involving a hydraulic lift. He then asks how babies are ''made'' and Henry gets really squeamish. When Shawn threatens to ask his mom if Henry can't spit it out, Henry starts to protest, then resignedly tells Shawn to tuck in his shirt before going to see Mrs. Spencer.

* "Lights, Camera... Homicido":

* '''Shawn''': I can say without a doubt that this is the most pain I have ever been in my life, so if you wouldn't mind turning around I would very much like to weep.

* "Bollywood Homicide"
** Shawn's client repeatedly slams the door in his face out of exasperation for his earlier laziness preventing him from taking the case seriously.
** Shawn causes the police to suspect his client's brother and gets chewed out for it. Shawn angrily and haughtily lists all of the things he did to find evidence exonerating the brother, [[NotHelpingYourCase but ends by saying that he also got him arrested in the first place.]]
** During the middle of Shawn's summation, [[ItMakesSenseInContext a holy man abruptly walks by and tosses paint on him.]]
** Shawn and Gus's reaction to the BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce while Abigail is able to down it with no trouble.
* Shawn convinces Gus to dodge security lasers in "Extradition: British Columbia":
-->'''Shawn''': Those are Canadian lasers!
** At the very end of the episode, when Despereaux tells Shawn that he's often fantasized about breaking out of prison. Look at the guy's face.
** Another from the episode, believing Despereaux is about to point a gun at him, Shawn quickly... hides behind a ''pillow''.
** The look of utter shock, dismay and even hurt on Lassiter's face when he gloats on how, after all these years, he's finally caught the master thief...and Despereaux reveals he has no idea who Lassiter is.

** In the opening scene, Gus assumes that Lassie's finally snapped and is driving Shawn of Gus to the middle of nowhere and executing them. Lassie telling them he's not shooting anyone doesn't reassure Gus.

* In one episode, Shawn asks Henry for advice on what to do if his partner (Gus) is wrong, and he (Shawn) knows it. Henry tells Shawn to tell Gus that he's wrong, but to do so in the most respectful manner possible. Cut to much later, when Shawn confronts Gus:

-->'''Father Wesley''': She's lying. To get us to leave.
-->'''Shawn''': Well, if I woke up and there were two random dudes and a priest standing over me, I'd lie too.

--> '''Shawn:''' Bum bum bum... Muffins/Wafers/''Hooo-oooly Ghoooost''.

** Shawn was mocking girl's Website/{{Facebook}} profiles saying they always pictures of themselves and a friend cheek to cheek. Gus tells him [[HoYay they have a picture like that on Shawn's desk]].
* "You Can't Handle This Episode".
-->'''Shawn''': Major-General.
-->'''Felts''': Yes?
-->'''Shawn''': Oh, no, I don't need anything. I just like to say "Major General". [To Gus] Try it.
-->'''Gus''': No, Shawn.
-->'''Shawn''': Gus, just try it.
-->'''Gus''': No!
-->'''Shawn''': Dude, just try it.
-->'''Gus''': Major General! [beat, then he smiles]
** The goofiness of the smile sells it.
* This exchange from the same episode is possibly even funnier:
-->'''Felts''': That kind of idiocy will not be tolerated on my base!
-->'''Shawn''': Is there another kind of idiocy you would prefer?
** Shawn immediately shuts up when he sees the General's expression.
** Shawn introduces Gus as Guy Buttersnaps during the episode, which itself is funny, but not notable as he gives Gus a weird name all the time. However, ''much'' later in the episode, as the Major General is talking about the case, he specifically says, "Thanks to Shawn Spencer and his partner...(''looks at paper'') Guy Buttersnaps..." And it's hilarious.
* Shawn copying an imprisoned crime lord's (played by Creator/ArnoldVosloo) accent.
** He was just trying to speak the man's language...
** Gus's reaction when he is introduced with his real name.

** Also from that episode, Henry's CaptainObvious moment:
-->'''Henry:''' Hang on, Shawn!\\

-->'''Shawn:''' (scoffs and proceeds to [[KnowNothingKnowItAll name the first fourbooks in the Bible]]) [[Literature/BookOfGenesis Genesis]], [[Literature/BookOfExodus Ex]][[Film/TheExorcist orcist]], [[Literature/BookOfLeviticus Levi]]athan [[note]] to be fair, a Leviathan ''is'' a creature from the Bible [[/note]], [[Literature/BookOfDeuteronomy Deuuuuu]]... [do] the right thing.

* During the SummationGathering in "The Devil is in the Details", we get this wonderful exchange.
-->'''Shawn:''' Pfft, Cam, don't be so naive. Men and women can't be friends.\\
'''Gus:''' ''Film/WhenHarryMetSally'' taught us that.\\
'''Shawn:''' It also taught us that women often fake orgasms.\\
'''Lassiter:''' ''[shoots a shocked look at Juliet]''\\
'''Juliet:''' ''[gives a rueful shrug and nod]''

* Gus (who's African-American) makes an AccidentalBid on a ''Confederate flag.''
* In "65 Million Years Off," a mental health professional Henry summons for an intervention for Shawn [[HoistByHisOwnPetard is more interested]] in discussing Henry's ControlFreak issues.
* Three in "Rob-a-bye Baby":
** [[MakesSenseInContext when Shawn and Gus are mistaken for creeps in the park.]]
** [[ItMakesSenseInContext Shawn's marriage proposal.]]
** The episode's flashback scene shows Shawn ask Henry how baby's are born and receiving a woefully inaccurate explanation involving a hydraulic lift. He then asks how babies are ''made'' and Henry gets really squeamish. When Shawn threatens to ask his mom if Henry can't spit it out, Henry starts to protest, then resignedly tells Shawn to tuck in his shirt before going to see Mrs. Spencer.
* Several of Nigel St. Nigel's comments from "American Duos".

-->'''Henry''': What kind of a sicko goes commando under another man's robe?
-->'''Nigel''': [[CheshireCatGrin (Grins)]]

-->'''Juliet:''' Can I teach you how to crump? Maybe. That’s up to you. [[SeriousBusiness But I can’t reach inside of you and make you want this -- I mean absolutely]] ''[[SeriousBusiness need]]'' [[SeriousBusiness this -- the way that both Hall and Oates used to need this]]. Well Oates was a little more, probably. This has to come from inside here ''[points to heart]''. And deep deep deep inside ''here'' ''[Points to stomach]''.\\

-->'''Nigel''': Really? That was your plan? That has to be the poorest executed attack in history. I was [[spoiler:two feet away from you all the time]]! I mean, you have to be absolutely, without doubt, the worst murderer I have ever seen! ''[Points and laughs at [[spoiler:Zapato]], who is being carried off by the police, and mockingly sings [[spoiler:Mira Me]]]''
* When a soap opera star kills a co-star with a NotSoFakePropWeapon, Gus protests that they can't fire the man before the viewers find out whether or not [[MamasBabyPapasMaybe another man is his baby's father.]] When everyone stares at Gus, he tries to do a VerbalBackspace and claim he really cares about this poor man's livelihood as an actor on the show before admitting that no, [[SkewedPriorities he is more interested in seeing that plot line resolved.]]
* When Lassiter arrests the killer plaguing a telenovela cast in front of a live camera, he has a moment to address the millions of viewers. His StageFright and limited Spanish vocabulary limit Lassier to saying, "I like cheese."
* As Lassiter gloats to Shawn and Gus about how he's been invited to speak at an important police conference, he walks outside and discovers that his car has been stolen from the police parking lot. Shawn quips it will give Lassiter a funny story to tell at the conference.
--> '''Lassiter:''' You guys are so funny. Oh, guess what? I just got a new car. [[FlashedBadgeHijack Yours.]]
* When Shawn and Gus find Lassiter's stolen car, they remove it from the chop shop before calling Chief Vick so that the car won't get confiscated as evidence. Unfortunately, they accidentally park it in a tow-away zone.

* The time Shawn was trying to alert the police to a chop shop by faking a vision and describing it like a scene from a horror movie.
-->'''Shawn''': Victims! I see victims everywhere! It's HORRIBLE! Sawed-off parts strewn about! Fluids spraying in every direction!
-->'''Vick''': Oh, dear God!
-->'''O'Hara''': Are we talking about a serial killer?
-->'''Shawn''': I see the victims' names! Accord! Look out!
-->'''Gus''': Get outta there!
-->'''Shawn''': Escalade! Don't let him in the door! Oh, Camry, you were too young to go...
-->'''O'Hara''': Are we talking about cars?

** ''All'' of the unnecessary powerwalks - with pumping music! - as Shawn solved the murder on stage.

* In "Shawn (and Gus) of the Dead", Shawn is trying to find camera blindspots, while Gus checks the camera. Gus's entire running conversation is hilarious, particularly when Shawn mutes him to hit on the assistant curator.
-->'''Gus''': You're muting me for the first interesting thing that's happened? [Begins imitating Shawn] Look at me, look at me! I love my hair! I can make [[LampshadeHanging obscure 80s references that nobody understands]]! Hey, know something about me? I have a motorcycle ''[[InformedAbility but I never seem to be riding it!]]''
** Shawn and Gus tour the museum, and reach the display of the dinosaur skeleton they helped find in the previous season. But Gus is a little upset at his credit.
--> '''Gus''': My name is ''Burton Guster'', not '''Bruton Gaster!''' Haven't you people ever heard of spellcheck?!

-->'''Shawn''': Dude, he took that van!
-->'''Film Girl''': The mummy?
-->'''Gus''': Great, now we got a mummy on the loose and the son of a bitch knows how to drive stick?

--> '''Shawn''': An eleven-point turn? Seriously?
* The ChristmasEpisode:
-->'''Lassiter''': OK, who keeps telling people I want snow globes for Christmas?!
* The writer for a soap opera sees being arrested on suspicion of murder as a chance to do research on "the harsh underbelly of prison life."
--> '''Gus:''' This is the Santa Barbara jail, not San Quentin.
--> '''Gus:''' It was written up in Fodor's last year as a nice spa alternative.
* From 2x11, "There's Something About Mira", Shawn and Gus are at the batting cages. Shawn tells Gus that this guy has been following them around all day, and they decide to get his attention. Shawn picks up a ball, moves to the entrance of the batting cage, and throws it at the man; it hits the pole behind the guy and bounces off into the distance while the stranger remains oblivious. Gus scoffs and pushes Shawn aside:
--> '''Gus''': Let me show you how it's done. Watch out. (He ''hurls'' the ball as hard as he can... only for it to hit the fence over the opening, ricochet over their heads, and roll into the depths of the batting cage.)
--> '''Shawn''': That very well may be the most humiliating moment of your life.
** There's also Mira's mother trying to flirt with Shawn, much to his confusion.
-->'''Mira's mother:''' I like my men like I like my wine--white and...''hairy.''
-->'''Shawn:'''...That makes no sense. At all.
* In "If You're So Smart Then Why Are You Dead?", Juliet practicing her interrogation techniques on Lassiter.
--> '''Juliet''': If you confess now, and name your accomplices, I will let the DA know you cooperated and maybe, just maybe, no guarantees, JUST MAYBE! ..they'll cut you a break. *beat* ''(pushes over a chair)''
--> '''Lassiter''': [[BrutalHonesty That's terrible.]]
* In "65 Million Years Off", we have Shawn's "Lenny" impression from Literature/OfMiceAndMen. The best part comes when he tries using it as a last-ditch attempt to interrogate a particularly stubborn (and potentially dangerous) suspect at his front door.
--> '''Shawn''':Hello! My name is Lenny! I like to - (The guy slams the door in his face)
* In "Meat is Murder, but Murder is Also Murder", Shawn pretends to be a health inspector doing a surprise examination to look for clues in the kitchen of Antonio's restaurant. Antonio is very surprised, since they already had one a few days ago.
--> '''Shawn''':...You weren't surprised enough.
* In "Lights, Camera... Homicido", we learn Gus in a fan of telenovas.

--> '''Shawn''': Hey you! [[Film/BackToTheFuture Get your damn hands off her!]]

'''Juliet:''' Creator/TearsForFears, Creator/DepecheMode, Thompson Twins... what order are you using?\\

* Apparently Gus has been asking [[Music/TearsForFears Curt Smith]] to perform at his ShotgunWedding often enough that Curt has his ringtone set as a ''warning'' for when Gus'es phone calls him.

* Apparently Gus has been asking Kurt Smith to perform at his ShotgunWedding often enough that Kurt has his ringtone set as a ''warning'' for when Gus'es phone calls him.

* The reveal that after all this time, Shawn in still looking for the engagement ring that was stolen from him mid proposal.

[[folder: Psych 2: Lassie Come Home]]

* Shawn and Gus try to prove that a comatose patient is faking by tickling his foot. However, the action and framing makes it look like Gus is having a very ''vigorous'' [[ADateWithRosiePalms date with rosie palms]].

** Also from the same episode, Shawn stealing a guy's pants [[PottyFailure for a urine sample]].

-->'''Gus''': [[WhatAnIdiot Oh, my gosh]].

--> '''Gus''': (To Lassiter) That'll be one thousand dollars.

** Within the first 5 minutes of arriving on Lassiter's floor, Shawn knocks on a door, revealing the CreepyTwins Lassiter saw were just his neighbors. Immediately after this:
--> '''Gus''': That'll be one thousand dollars.

** Shawn introduces Gus as Gi Buttersnaps during the episode, which itself is funny, but not notable as he gives Gus a weird name all the time. However, ''much'' later in the episode, as the Major General is talking about the case, he specifically says, "Thanks to Shawn Spencer and his partner...(''looks at paper'') Gi Buttersnaps..." And it's hilarious.

** Upon hearing that one of Marlowe's roommates is called Lucien, everyone (including Juliet, the OnlySanePerson in the episode) asks "Where's Lucien" without missing a beat.

** From the same episode, there's Shawn's [[CriticalResearchFailure attempt]] at narrating the planetarium's presentation:

** Later, Lassiter gets matched up with Juliet. They both sit in awkward silence for several seconds, which gets the attention of the hostess.

* Gus' list of rules for going into a supposedly haunted, abandoned mental hospital. These rules include refusing to be the first person to enter a room or the last person to leave a room (which, considering it's just him and Shawn, [[FridgeLogic is a logical impossibility.]])

** This gem, when Despereaux wants to hire Shawn and Gus to prove his innocence [[spoiler: when a Crown Prosecutor is murdered]]
