1* When the S.W.A.T. team come into the Canadian consulate and Fraser and Turnbull force them to hand over their guns.
2* Fraser's EstablishingCharacterMoment has him dramatically chasing a criminal through the wilderness and then declaring "That will teach him to fish over the limit." (To be fair, it later turns out that the guy fished ''hundreds'' of fish over the limit and dynamited the river to do so.)
3** He does it again in the third season premiere by chasing a criminal through the wilderness, catching him and hauling him in, saying “He’ll never litter again!” When the other Mounties express incredulity, he explains that the guy was actually “littering” the wilderness with toxic chemical waste.
4* Bob Fraser trying to get Benton to harm the man who killed him.
5** "Look what I made for you, son!"
6* "Okay, who let the Mountie into the holding cell?" Everyone in the squad room raises a hand...
7* The entire sting operation in ''Pizza and Promises'' is hysterical. Ray cares more about the safety of the bait (his personal car) than actually catching the crooks. He also has to enlist the help of his sister Frannie to drop off the car, and she gets his radio callsign wrong in an insulting fashion.
8--> '''Frannie:''' Stay out of this, gelding!
9--> '''Ray:''' Stallion!
10--> '''Frannie:''' Yeah, in your dreams.
11* A brief moment of levity in the mostly grim episode ''The Deal'' has Frannie providing a couple of particularly comical moments.
12** First, during the middle of Mass, she goes on a rambling tangent and then asks Fraser if he wants to have sex ''just'' as the choir goes silent, causing everyone in the church to hear them.
13** The second time is when she goes to confession.
14--> '''Francesca:''' Forgive me, Father, for what I am about to do.
15--> '''Father Behan:''' This isn't about the Mountie again, is it?
16--> '''Francesca:''' I know, I know, but this time I'm gonna do it.
17--> '''Father Behan:''' Francesca, I can't keep forgiving you in advance for something that never happens.
18* The fetish club. With the guy in the latex Mountie fetish outfit. Who naturally turns out to be a real undercover police officer.
19* The whole of 'Seeing is Believing'.
20* Some of the phone conversations are good, the cat lady and the pizza guy stalker.
21* Fraser stopping Ray K being arrested by arresting in the consulate and then pointing out that it's Canada and so they have to go though paperwork to get him out of the building. Hilarity Ensures.
22* Frannie seducing Fraser. All of them.
23* In "Gift of the Wheelman"
24** Fraser sees his father's ghost on Christmas and asks the ghost if there's a history of insanity in their family.
25--> '''Fraser Sr.:''' No, not that I'm aware of.
26--> '''Fraser:''' Good.
27--> '''Fraser Sr.:''' Well, there was your uncle Tiberius that died wrapped in cabbage leaves, but we assumed that was a freak accident.
28** The entire episode has Fraser not wanting Vecchio to know that he's talking to his dad's ghost for fear it will sound crazy. Near the end, it's revealed that Vecchio has spent all of that time being visited by ''his'' father's ghost, who keeps nagging him.
29--> '''Mr. Vecchio:''' Twenty-four hours and you still haven't solved the case.
30--> '''Ray Vecchio:''' Come on, Pop, it's Christmas day! You want to give it a rest?
31--> '''Mr. Vecchio:''' Hey, if you don't care about your work, it's fine with me.
32** In an attempt to track down several thieves in Santa costumes, the police order all of the department store elves brought in for questioning. The cop conducting the round-up mishears his boss and brings in all of the ''Elvis'' impersonators he can find.
33* Buck Frobisher's butchering of the St. Crispin's Day speech in the series finale.
34* From "Mounty On The Bounty Part 1": Fraser randomly breaking out into singing "Barrett's Privateers" as a distraction
35* From "Mounty on the Bounty Part 2":
36-->'''Crazy RCMP training sergeant:''' We shall take them by surprise!\
37'''Ray K.:''' But they can see us!\
38'''Fraser:''' Well, Ray, if you were set upon by [[spoiler: members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Chicago Police Department in a replica of the ''HMS Bounty'',]] wouldn't you be surprised?\
39'''Ray K.:''' Not if I could see us!
40* Frannie driving a suspect insane with her [[{{Malaproper}} constant incorrect phrasing of police jargon]]
41*
42-->Frannie:''(after casually breaking the legs of a dead guy)'' I can de-bone a chicken in under three minutes.
43* Fraser being utterly oblivious to the effect he has on women 90% of the time, allowing him to get away with such things as closely examining a shopkeeper's leather bodice (while she's wearing it, mind you).
44** Fraser's [[AllergicToLove reactions]] when he's ''not'' being oblivious to the effect. Such as ''[[ScrewThisImOutOfHere leaping off of a church balcony]]'' to get away from Frannie and an entire EstrogenBrigade of women trying to get into his pants.
45* In "North", Fraser gets injured, and RayV has to carry him through the woods over his shoulder. They sing to pass the time.
46--> *Ray stumbling through the woods, carrying Fraser*
47--> Fraser: "No I can't get off of my horse, all day I ride among the cattle, no I can't get off of my horse,"
48-->Both: "Cause' some dirty dog put glue in my saddle! In my saddle! In my saddle! Yes, some dirty dog put glue in my saddle!"
49-->Fraser: "All the leaves are brown,"
50-->Ray V: "The leaves are brown!"
51-->Fraser: "and the sky is gray,"
52-->Ray V: "And the sky is gray!"
53-->Fraser: "I left my heart in frisco,"
54-->Ray V: "San Francisco!"
55-->Fraser: "San Francisco bay,"
56-->Ray V: "San Francisco bay!" *does a little dance*
57-->Fraser: "California,"
58-->Ray V: "Cal-i-for-nia!"
59-->*they pause and realize that they have forgotten the rest of the song*
60-->Both: "All the leaves are brown..."
