1* Pope's rant about the proper way to cook chicken in "Prisoner of War" comes completely out of nowhere. The man does not tolerate bad food..
2* Later, in "Sanctuary":
3--> '''Pope:''' I smell asparagus. That means you're boiling it. That means you're ''ruining'' it.
4* "Dai is high as a freaking kite, but loves this bread."
5** "Dai refers to himself in the third person now?"
6*** "Dai does!"
7* "Sanctuary Pt. 2": While the 7th Mass have Hal and the kids pinned down, we get a quick cut to Clayton calmly telling one of his guys how he once considered buying in this neighborhood.
8* Pope's beloved Harley motorcycle getting destroyed by the Skitters. He does ''not'' take it well.
9* Right before the big damn battle against the Overlord, Click, Dai and Margaret [[DeadpanSnarker snark over]] how stylin' Weaver's battered jacket is. Weaver's reaction is priceless ("Alright, stop it, or this stylin', rugged, side-eleven boot will commence to kicking some ass!")
10* Cochise being TheComicallySerious regarding Pope's [[TheAllegedCar so-called plane]].
11-->'''Mason''': Is everything alright, Cochise?
12-->'''Cochise''': It is simply...a--are you certain this aircraft is...
13-->'''Mason''': Safe?
14-->'''Cochise''':...I was going to say "capable of flight".
15* In season four, Col. Weaver is [[SanitySlippage slightly off]]. The result proves to be amusing:
16-->'''Tom''' (''regarding the alien motivations''): I don't know, I'm thinking.
17-->'''Weaver''': Well keep thinking, and warn me when you think up a AK-47.
18* Anthony is marching on the woods. The boredom gets to him:
19-->'''Anthony''': ItsQuietTooQuiet.
20-->'''Denny''': [[GenreSavvy That's what people say in movies before the bad guys attack.]]
21-->'''Anthony''': [[InvokedTrope I know]], [[TemptingFate that's why I said it]]. Might as well just be over with it...
22* Tom does an impression of the UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy moon speech when saying they need to go to the moon to take out an Espheni installation. Also an in-universe funny moment.
23* Cochise has a moment of [[LiteralMinded literal mindedness]] in the Season 5 premiere, after Weaver explains that the last part of their plan is to "get the hell out of dodge."
24-->'''Cochise''': Is this Dodge?
