History Funny / Succession

-->'''Shiv:''' Yeah well sorry if I don’t want to come to your freewheelin’, good time, n-word shouting hoedown.

--> '''Roman:''' ‘Oh I’m so adult and important because I work for a man with glasses.’ Is he a Jew, by the way?

-->''Roman:''' Is it him [Gil]? You don’t want a rocket launch 'cause of him? Would it help if it was a rocket full of muslim granola?

* Roman watching the satellite launch explode. He excuses himself to a bathroom, pulls out his phone, watches a rocket on a launchpad just suddenly erupt into a massive fireball of death with a nonplussed expression on his face... and then suddenly begins washing his hands and checking his face in the most faux-casual yet utterly determined display of "If I act like I didn't see it happen then it didn't happen" you've ever seen.

* Tom bungles his hearing to the point where he answers no to the question of if he knows Greg, and everyone’s reactions: Logan is almost frozen in horror, Kendall has his hand over his mouth like he’s going to throw up, and Shiv never more clearly looks like she’s regretting her whole marriage.

** Caroline makes a point of fishing out Kerry from the crowd and parading her, along with one of Logan's other old flames into the front row of the church to sit together with Marcia. No-one is pleased.

* The peak BlackComedy of Tom's interview with Mark Ravenhead in "Safe Room." It starts off light, with Tom making awkward attempts to keep it perfunctory and inoffensive, only for him to become increasingly dismayed when he realizes Mark really is a Nazi sympathizer. His DoubleTake when Mark denies having a dog named after Hitler (on the basis of Mark's dog having a "different spelling"), his awkward chuckle asking if there were "Easter eggs" Mark missed the first time after he admits to having read Mein Kampf "a couple of times," and finally, his line of questioning when Mark insists he's simply interested in that period of history.

* While celebrating the fact that he won't be going to prison, Tom goes to Greg's office, casually joins him at his desk...then ''flips it'', and spends the next full minute throwing the furniture around and jumping atop the file cabinets, all while letting out a string of {{BigYes}}es. Once he leaves, a few passing employees look into the room in confusion, with Greg only able to say "It was good news!"

* Connor apparently visits Logan frequently between the latter's death and funeral, and seems to have a better relationship with the dead Logan than with the alive one. He once mentions that "Dad's looking good today, like he woke up on the right side of the coffin"

** When Shiv spots her mother in the crowd, she remarks that she hears "dalmatians howling".
** The siblings comtemplating laying in Logan's crypt, with Connor declaring he'd like "the top bunk".
** Peter Munion being an embarrassing sycophant during the funeral, with Caroline calmly commenting first that he'd brought his autograph book, and later that he's like a labrador, off to "roll in a delightful pile of senators".

** Karl's pleased expression during the funeral, signalling either that he's enjoying the shenanigans, or maybe little shadenfreude that his ever-humiliating him boss is finally dead.

* Shiv remarks that Tom would have never have the gall to not attend Logan's funeral when the latter was alive. Tom retorts that Logan's lost quite a bit of influence during the past few days.

* Roman presenting his dad with a dear gift, his childhood football team. And then Logan has to explain to him that he got the wrong one.
** Even worse, Roman bought their hated rivals!

* While celebrating the fact that he won't be going to prison, Tom goes to Greg's office, casually joins him at his desk...then ''flips it'', and spends the next full minute throwing the furniture around and jumping atop the file cabinets, all while letting out a string of {{BigYes}}es. Once he leaves, a few passing employees look into the room in confusion, with Greg only able to say "It was good news!"
* There's a delicious irony to the end of the season three finale; for three seasons, Logan has been so homophobic to his sons, telling Roman to "get straightened out" and assuming Kendall ReallyGetsAround, and the only two people who are still in good with him are Tom and Greg, who've been having an oddly toxic, borderline romance this whole time.

* Roman watching the satellite launch explode. He excuses himself to a bathroom, watches a rocket on a launchpad just erupt into a massive fireball of death with a nonplussed expression on his face... and then suddenly begins washing his hands and checking his face in the most faux-casual yet utterly determined display of "If I act like I didn't see it happen then it didn't happen" you've ever seen.

* While it’s mostly played for drama and tragedy, the fact that Logan Roy, the nigh-unstoppable, living embodiment of late-stage capitalism, ultimately dies fishing his cellphone out of an airplane toilet, is darkly funny.

* While a sad scene in hindsight, Shiv gets frustrated with Tom’s proposal while her dad is dying (he’s trying to make it better), and tells him she won’t blow him when his dog dies.
* “Lifeboats” has Shiv come into the office to try and get Kendall to go and talk to Marcia. He begs off, saying he has an important business meeting, but she pulls the little sister move of PuppyDogEyes and he folds instantly.

-->'''Marcia:''' You know my friend, the one who did what you do? She actually was murdered. ''(Tom and Willa look concerned)'' It had nothing to do with her being a prostitute. it had to do with a restaurant that went ''*poof*''.
-->'''Willa:''' ...What?

-->'''Tom:''' That's the death pit, Greg. Take a look.
-->'''Greg:''' ...I-I mean I feel like I might not like it, in the... death pit.

-->'''Tom''': And what, specifically, do you find interesting about that period of history?
-->'''Mark''': The scale. The tragedy.
-->'''Tom''': Hell, yeah. And which... tragedies... specifically?
-->'''Mark''': Europe decimated. Seven million Germans, twenty million Russians, five million Poles.
-->'''Tom''': (''Taken aback''.) Yeah. Just, just checkin' the till here, Mark, and it seems you're short a few million.

-->'''Kendall:''' L TO THE... ''[shoves a mic in Roman's face]''
-->'''Roman:''' [[SincerityMode You need to stop this]].

* While it’s mostly played for drama and tragedy, the fact that [[spoiler: Logan Roy, the nigh-unstoppable, living embodiment of late-stage capitalism, ultimately dies fishing his cellphone out of an airplane toilet]] is darkly funny.

-->'''Roman :''' ''(as Kendall shoves a mic in his face)'' You need to stop this.

* While it’s mostly played for drama and tragedy, the fact that [[spoiler: Logan Roy, the nigh-unstoppable, living embodiment of late-stage capitalism, ultimately dies in an airplane bathroom]] is darkly funny.
