History Funny / Twentyfour

* Episode 14: Pretty much the entirety of Tony's interaction with Nina in the interrogation room, starting with Nina's attempted HannibalLecture, [[IncrediblyLamePun climaxing]] at the revelation that her pulse notably spiked when Tony told her that the medical records of the man they were looking for, who she had ''claimed'' she'd never actually met in person, showed that he had been treated for HIV, and ending with her calmly answering one of Tony's questions [[BreathlessNonSequitur by informing him that his neck has started bleeding again]].

-->'''Gaines:''' Bury your friend.
-->'''Rick:''' Where?
-->'''Gaines:''' In the ground!

--->'''Gaines:''' Now say something.
--->'''Jack:''' If you hurt my daughter, I ''will'' kill you.
--->'''Gaines:''' Good, that's a nice clear signal.

-->'''Jack:''' When does your suffering end, Victor? After you've killed me and Senator Palmer and all the thousands of enemies you have?
-->'''Victor:''' [[BluntYes Yes]]. Simple, is it not?
* Outtakes for this show are rare but the ones they did release on a TV show years back showed such gems as Victor Drazen forgetting his lines while eating next to Kim, Teri's gun slipping through her pants and a different take of [[spoiler:Nina killing Teri]].

* [[TheScrappy Kim Bauer]] and the absolute inanity of her side-plots deserve a mention for being some comical juxtaposition next to the serious and actually important main plots of STOPPING A NUCLEAR BOMB, and then STOPPING [[WorldWarThree WORLD WAR III]]. To sum up Kim's day, she [[spoiler:goes from babysitting, to saving the child from her abusive father, to getting arrested, to running into the woods and encountering a [[MemeticMutation cougar]], to getting lured into a creepy guy's bomb shelter in the middle of the woods, to getting held hostage in a random store robbery, to going back to the abusive father's house and killing him.]] Yes, she seriously spends the entire season wasting our time with all of that absolute nonsense.

-->'''Nina:''' He is gonna put a bullet in my head before I can say hello and then he's gonna turn the gun on himself.
-->'''Jack:''' We'll make sure he doesn't turn the gun on himself.

-->'''Chappelle:''' Tony, that was District Director Vaughn. He's so happy with what [[FakeUltimateHero we]] did here today, he doesn't know where to start.
-->'''Tony:''' That's great.
-->'''Chappelle:''' So... what's up, my friend?
-->'''Tony:''' Well, uhh... it's like this. Either fire me, or get out of my chair.

* Episode 10: Chappelle hears a baby ([[spoiler:Chase's daughter]]) in the presence of Chloe's workstation:
-->'''Chappelle:''' What was that?
-->'''Chloe:''' Nothing.

-->'''Chappelle:''' Is this your child?
-->'''Chloe:''' Yes, and she hasn't been interfering with my work.
* Episode 13: Sherry's "talking" results in [[spoiler:Alan Milliken's death]].
-->'''Sherry:''' [[spoiler:You're just a little boy, Alan! A pathetic, scrawny, sickly little boy!]]

-->'''Audrey:''' Your boss will have to understand.
-->'''Jen:''' And what if he doesn't?
-->'''Audrey:''' I could have him killed.

-->'''Powell:''' Who are you guys? Police? FBI?
-->'''Tony:''' Actually, I'm currently unemployed.
* Episode 20: [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome After she has gunned down a terrorist assassin who was trying to kill her with an M-16]], Chloe (being Chloe) drops this to one of the medical personal sent to check and see if she's okay. (paraphrased)

-->'''Chloe''': This Lynn [=McGill=] person is really slowing things down.
-->'''Spenser''': Yeah, that's his style. I worked with him once before. He usually loses about 20% of his staff in the first couple of days after taking control of a new office.
-->'''Chloe''': That many people quit?
-->'''Spenser''': No, most of them were fired.

-->'''Karen:''' Did someone push you down the stairs?
-->'''Tom:''' No, Karen, I tripped over your ineptitude. And on that subject, welcome back.

-->'''Chloe:''' He's fine.
-->'''Milo:''' Thank you.
-->'''Morris:''' Got to love this place.
* Possibly the best part of Season 6 are all the awkward, disbelieving, if-you-weren't-my-boss-I-would-be-facepalming-so-hard facial expressions Tom Lennox makes in regard to [[spoiler:Vice President Daniels' affair with his assistant.]] Then Tom is required to spend the next 40 minutes having to [[spoiler:watch Lisa get it on with her other lover.]]

* Hour 20: [[spoiler:Tony Almeida]] is double-crossed by the person he hired to collect one of the weapons used by the terrorists. The double-crosser is overpowered and dragged to the bathroom for interrogation, where he expires between scenes, with his head propped against the side of a bathtub. In the next scene, the interrogator is seen coming out of the bathroom, freshly showered -- with the body still in the same position as before, evidently forgotten by the people in the room.

* Watching two not-very-bright characters trying to rob a warehouse with assistance from a VoiceWithAnInternetConnection is hilarious. They start to panic when the codes don't open the door, only to find out they were at the wrong door. "31'''01'''. This is 3110." Cue the most impatient and priceless "OMG you '''idiots'''" expression from [[spoiler:Dana Walsh]].
* Episode 22, [[spoiler:when a cocky Charles Logan spots a renegade Jack Bauer, armed with an assault rifle and wearing a body suit (complete with blast shield face mask and kevlar). Logan's '[[OhCrap oh shit!!!!]]' expression said it all, but his exasperated cries of "'''IT'S JACK BAUER!'''" made an already amusing ([[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome and completely badass]]) moment downright hilarious. The annoyed expressions on the Secret Service agents' faces are are just as funny. They're clearly thinking "I have to face ''that'' to protect ''this'' asshole?"]].
** That was quite possibly one of the greatest moments in ''24''. [[spoiler:Logan nearly in tears was just the icing on the cake!]]

* At the end of Episode 3, Jack realizes he needs a diversion in order to enter the US Embassy. So he discreetly [[spoiler:'''shoots''' some unlucky protesters in the leg and screams "THEY'RE SHOOTING AT US! THEY'RE SHOOTING AT US!"]] It works, and it makes for a darkly hilarious final scene.

-->'''Adrian:''' You don't need to keep reminding me of it.
-->'''Chloe:''' Actually, I do. I'm thinking every day for the rest of your life.

** When [[spoiler:Steve Navarro]] is discovered to be a mole, he tries to escape by telling a security guard to lock down the building. Jack then doesn't even try to reason with the guy, and just knocks him out.

* Stephen Fry's ''marvelous'' reaction when [[spoiler:Heller returns from his attempt to sacrifice himself to end the terrorist threat, and tells the Prime Minister he's sure he would have done the same for America.]] Earlier in the same episode, he says nothing can cause people to panic like the instruction to remain calm, which was a reference to the famous British 'Keep Calm' posters from [=WW2=], which have attained FauxtivationalPoster status lately.
* If you're a ''Series/GameOfThrones'' fan it was fun for a change and less traumatic to see Michelle Fairley [[spoiler: die just after first watching her son be killed]], a ''second time'' now that they're both villains!
** Also that she [[spoiler: was thrown out of a high window like her son Bran Stark in the very first episode of ''Series/GameOfThrones'']].
** And that her daughter Simone looks a lot like Sansa Stark!

-->'''Heller:''' So what's your name?
-->'''Belcheck:''' Belcheck.
-->'''Heller:''' 'Belcheck' what?
-->'''Belcheck:''' Just one word. Like {{Music/Madonna}}.

* Episode 16: BigBad Abu Fayed is caught by a group of civilians, and shoots one of them before being overpowered. After Jack comes in and breaks it up, Fayed hilariously tells one of the civilians "I hope your friend is dead!" and then gets kicked in the face by Jack.

* Episode 22, [[spoiler:when a cocky Charles Logan spots a renegade Jack Bauer, armed with an assault rifle and wearing a body suit (complete with blast shield face mask and kevlar). Logan's '[[OhCrap oh shit!!!!]]' expression said it all, but his exasperated cries of "'''IT'S JACK BAUER!'''" made an already amusing ([[CrowningMomentOfAwesome and completely badass]]) moment downright hilarious. The annoyed expressions on the Secret Service agents' faces are are just as funny. They're clearly thinking "I have to face ''that'' to protect ''this'' asshole?"]].

* Episode 20: [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome After she has gunned down a terrorist assassin who was trying to kill her with an M-16]], Chloe (being Chloe) drops this to one of the medical personal sent to check and see if she's okay. (paraphrased)
