-->'''Soldier''': Are they trying to ''[[ImprobableAimingSkills shoot down that other drone?''\\

'''Murdock:''' We are currently being engaged by reaper drones... And they bring down planes all the time!

** After one of the Reapers manages to take out two of the parachutes, Hannibal and Face start firing the tank's cannon;
-->'''Soldier''': Are they trying to shoot down the other drone?\\
'''Sosa''': [[BeyondTheImpossible No]], they're trying to ''fly'' that ''tank.''

* The team encounters a WireDilemma, which B.A. barely manages to solve before the countdown elapses. [[DeadpanSnarker Face]] asks if B.A. could take more time on the next occasion so he can be blown up instead of dying of a heart attack.

* One of the villains' mooks just happens to get in the cab Face is using while the team is getting ready for the showdown. What follows is an extremely bad day for said mook, as he gets taken along while Face returns to the showndown street, has Face lock the doors and blasely ignore his threats, and gets told when Face gets out that he'll probably be happier locked in the car for what's going to happen. The viewer sees the guy cringing during the ensuing firefight, and when the team escorts "East Side Charlie" and the other mooks to the cab, he gets out and runs away.

-->'''Murdock''': "No, no, no, no. I merely relocated the aircraft with extreme prejudice because of a TOTAL LOSS OF THRUST AND LIFT FUNCTIONS!!!"

[[AC: The Trouble With Harry]]
* Face and Murdock's failed attempts to go on a double date.
* Murdock repeatedly telling Face, "You should've never answered that phone!"

** Finally, they just happen to above a lake where an old man in a boat is ''[[StrangeMindsThinkAlike dynamite fishing]]'' while his wife critiques.

-->'''Murdock''': Technically, we're not flying.\\
'''B.A.:''' I know! 'Cause we fallin', fool! Why the hell are we in a falling tank?!\\

'''B.A.:''' What?! When?!\\

--->'''Old woman''': ([[FunWithSubtitles It's not fair to the fish! You're cheating!]])\\
'''Old man''': (You with your nagging... You're chasing them away!)\\

* '''''EVERYTHING''''' involving the "flying tank."

-->'''Murdock''': We're ''flying'' the ''tank!''\\

** Finally, they just happen to above a lake where an old man is ''[[StrangeMindsThinkAlike dynamite fishing]].'' The man's wife giggles like a schoolgirl when the tank hitting the lake causes his boat to capsize.

* In the flying tank:
-->'''B.A.:''' Why the hell are we in a falling tank?!
-->'''Murdock:''' Because the plane exploded!
-->'''B.A.:''' What?! When?!
-->'''Murdock:''' ...Recently!
* "Technically, we're not flying." "I know! 'Cause we fallin', fool!"

-->'''Murdock:''' Don't worry boys! Turbulence has never brought down a plane!
--> ''[Reaper drones begin attack]''
-->'''Murdock:''' We are currently being engaged by reaper drones... And they bring down planes all the time!

--> ''[Murdock injects B.A. just before getting onto a seaplane; B.A. promptly faceplants.]''
--> '''Face:''' Murdock, what did we tell you? You have to...
-->'''Hannibal and Face together:''' catch him ''after'' you inject him.
-->'''Murdock:''' ... my bad.

* "Are they trying to shoot down the other drone?" (From a falling tank. Not with the tank's machine gun - they did that a few seconds earlier. With the tank's ''cannon.'') "No, [[BeyondTheImpossible they're trying to fly that tank]]."
** Actually, she's wrong; They're trying to do ''both.'' And they '''succeed.'''
** As the tank is falling, the camera does a close-up zoom on the "HOW'S MY DRIVING" bumper sticker on the back.
** Finally, they just happen to above a lake where an old man is ''[[StrangeMindsThinkAlike dynamite fishing]].'' The man's wife giggles like a schoolgirl when the tank hitting the lake causes his boat to capsize.

[[AC: Where Is The Monster When You Need Him?]]

[[AC: Lease With an Option to Die]]

* Colonel Decker is tricked into destroying a guest house on the Army base, thinking that Hannibal and the team are holed up inside. His irate reaction, "A JOKE??????!!!!!" after realizing he's been had is priceless.

[[AC: Hot Styles]]

* Face's entire conversation with Louanne during his priest scam from that same episode. This bit in particular:

** Face's absolute {{adorkable}}ness while pretending to be the priest is a major part of what makes this scene so funny. His expressions throughout are just priceless, as is his delivery.

** Face falls victim to Murdock's Bigfoot obsession as Murdock, who is rooming with him, first keeps him up half the night talking about it and then wakes him up at five in the morning blowing the Bigfoot call he brought along.
** As the team is about the leave, Murdock hears the jangling of one of his Bigfoot traps. The team runs over to see that he caught B.A., who hangs there yelling threats and demands to be released as the episode goes to the credits.

** At the beginning, Murdock, in character as a member of the B.B.D.W.G.O.H., is going on and happens to mention filing grievances. B.A. mentions he has a grievance to file: he doesn't like Murdock.
** During the funeral, Jack Lane goes up to spit in Hannibal's face...and gets a nasty surprise when [[spoiler: the "deceased"]] sits up very much alive. The shock on his face is absolutely priceless.

** The end of the episode: Murdock attempting to "thumb a ride"-- only he's attempting to flag down airplanes, not cars. When one airplane doesn't stop, he yells an insult after it.

--->'''Hannibal''': If he'd hit me, I'd be in the hospital.
** While they're boarding the plane, Amy spots Lynch, who's also spotted them. She asks Hannibal "What's that?", and Hannibal replies, "That's nothing." Right. Having the army on your back is nothing.
** Amy asks why Face and Hannibal are binding B.A. after they get him on the plane. Hannibal's answer, delivered in a completely matter-of-fact tone: "So he doesn't kill us once he wakes up."
** Hannibal's way of informing Murdock that B.A. will soon be conscious and they need to get the plane down: "The sleeping giant awakes."

-->'''Murdock:''' I don't think I know you well enough.
* Anything Murdock does. But special mention goes to the time (in "[[Recap/TheATeamS1E12TillDeathDoUsPart Till Death Do Us Part]]") that he helped a client escape her evil fiance by ''taking her place in the wedding''. During his getaway, he stops to shake an elderly guest's hand:
-->'''Murdock''': Thanks so much for coming to my wedding! I love your dress! ''[runs off, wedding dress and veil billowing out behind him]''
** Even funnier is Murdock, still in the wedding dress, running after the catering truck that the rest of the team is using as a getaway vehicle, and Face leaning out the back of the truck, shouting, "Come to me, my precious!"

** One of the villains' mooks just happens to get in the cab Face is using while the team is getting ready for the showdown.

The viewer sees the guy cringing during the ensuing firefight, and when the team escorts "East Side Charlie" and the other mooks to the cab, he gets out and runs away.
* One episode, ''Labor Pains'', has Murdock fooling around with a ouija board the whole time. At the end, he goes into another "trance" and begins to intone "Decker is coming, Decker is coming...". BA is fed up and just as things are about to get ugly, they hear sirens. Cue incredulous expressions from everyone except Hannibal- whose face just screams OhCrap.
* ''[[Recap/TheATeamS1E11OneMoreTime One More Time]]'':
** This conversation between Colonel Lynch and one of his M.P.'s at the beginning of the episode.
--> '''MP:''' Well, Colonel Lynch, chasing Hannibal Smith as much as we have, I've come to appreciate his sense of humor.
--> '''Lynch:''' Sense of humor? You think that's funny then, Hannibal Smith working under the name of 'Lynch'?
--> '''MP:''' Well I mean considering the fact that we've looked everywhere for him, and all this time he's working in the open under your very name.

* "[[Recap/TheATeamS2E13TheMalteseCow The Maltese Cow]]":
** The A-Team dump Chris Thomas in front of the police station and speed away. Two officers notice him. Thomas tries to get away, but can only manage baby steps because the team tied his legs together.
