History Funny / WelcometoNightvale

* From episode 61: [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext "Today's broadcast is sponsored by Kobe Beef."]]

-->"Please, it’s our birthday! Oh! Did we not mention it’s ''totally'' our birthday?"
-->"...could you say 'BRINY DEPTHS' again? It’s for a friend’s birthday. It’s also our friend’s birthday. We forgot to mention that."

* From episode 61: [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext "Today's broadcast is sponsored by Kobe Beef."]]

--->"Cecil?"\\

-->Candles lit, runes drawn upon the floor, sacrifice prepared. Everything is ready for the summoning. I begin the incantation: ''[{{beat}}]'' "Shakira, Shakira!"

** Also, there's Steve's impersonation of Cecil.

** The HOV lanes in Nightvale have NitroBoost pads!

* Hiram [=McDaniel=]'s campaign speech in Episode 32, whenever one of his other heads starts talking. Probably the only funny thing in [[WhamEpisode an otherwise very dark episode]]
* The exasperated way Cecil plows through the [[spoiler: Strex Corp]] announcement in Episode 33. It's blatantly obvious that he's just rushing through to get it over with. The soundtrack dissonance only makes it funnier.

* From Episode 38, Cecil, facing John Peters, you know, the [[spoiler:''imposter'']], detailing the long, heartfelt message he wanted to send to Carlos in case he did not survive the encounter - then deciding that the message would be too long for a text and simply using the phone to knock John Peterss, you know, the [[spoiler:''imposter'']], unconscious.

* Cecil eventually consults Carlos about the mountain with the red light, the waste-plain and attacking army which has just ''appeared'' outside of Night Vale. Carlos says oh, that's just a mirage, and he's seen it before. Well, except for the attacking army, but, y'know.

** It is also noted that even Strex Corp's Lauren is not immune to Carlos' perfect hair.

--> '''Steve''': We chatted for a whie- I can't remember what about, maybe the weather?

** Also, there's Steve's impersonation of Cecil
* The moment you realize that the carnival was just an ordinary friendly carnivale with nothing supernatural or evil about it, and that the one time that Night Vale took steps to stave off the terrors of their world was the one time they shouldn't have. Only Maureen figures it out.

* Cecil ''weaponizing the Weather'' in "The University of What it Is", allowing the staff of the titular college to escape an angry mob by forcing said mob to stand around awkwardly for several minutes listening to music.

* How beautiful is Carlos? The barber who cut his hair immediately underwent a DespairEventHorizon, and now spends his time in the desert, giving haircuts to cacti.

** In that same episode, a masterpiece of BreadEggsMilkSquick.
--->"The world ended three or four decades ago," she scrawled on a Subway sandwich wrapper. "I don't know what this thing is that we're living in, but it's not the world. Scientists won't investigate it because they're not real. [[BreadEggsMilkSquick Turkey with extra swiss]]." ...I think that last bit was already written on the wrapper by a Subway sandwich artist, or one of their familiars.

* The show at the LA Podcast Festival was essentially live performances of two older episodes with redone ad bumps, as read by James Urbaniak (as two {{Redshirt}} interns). They're promotions for Hulu (which he reads out in an ominous, drawn-out voice: "[[InherentlyFunnyWord Huuuuuuluuuuuuu]].") and a web hosting service (who break out into tears at the sight of your website, as it's already perfect).
** For those of you who don't recognize the name, imagine Rusty Venture. You're welcome.

* 69 (Fashion Week) a sphere is ridding the town of people who aren't dressed "hip" enough. It arrives at the station, and Cecil admits he doesn't really care to dress for Fashion Week.

* From episode 61: [[IMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext "Today's broadcast is sponsored by Kobe Beef."]]

* In "Voicemail", Carlos talks about how he's doing science by doing things that make one question how much he actually knows about science.
-->I’ve put some of the junk we found and some of the people we found in my lab, and I’m studying them using microscopes and vials of bubbling liquid and me making thoughtful expressions and saying things like “Hmm.” So I’m really using all of the available scientific tools right now.
** And later;
--->Cecil! Cecil, I did it! I understand! I hooked everything up to computers, and I said “hmm” a lot, and then [[MundaneSolution I asked the people to talk about]] [...]

* Carlos' bit about telling "scientifically accurate jokes", especially this bit

[[BaitAndSwitch So, that’s another example of a scientifically accurate joke.]]

Like, OK, so a horse walks into a bar, and says “I feel used. As a species, even, I feel used.” And so then the bartender, who is also a horse, ‘cause, you know, this is the Horse District where the horses live when they’re not being used by the humans, and the horse bartender says, “Don’t I know it, buddy!” and the first horse says “I’m not your buddy!” And then he says, “Man, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. That was awful of me. It’s the anger.”

-->'''Cecil''': "The grey head [[EmoTeen often feels blue and wears a green nose ring]]. The blue head [[TheSpock considers logic the gold standard of intellect]] and has {{Purple Eyes}}. The gold head is actually more of a sable and will [[TalkativeLoon talk til he's blue in the face]]. The [[ConspiracyTheorist purple head has grown grey with paranoid fantasies]] and wears a gold neck chain that has a pendant with [[DoNotCallMePaul the word "Violet"]] written in green gemstones. And the [[AxCrazy green head is the real shouty one that wants to set everyone on fire all the time.]]"

* Cecil's description of Hiram McDaniels' heads in episode 64:

* In episode 24, THE BROWNSTONE SPIRE makes an appearance, where Cecil has an ominous voice and reverb whenever he mentions the former. After a while it sounds like he's just messing around with filters.
