1* When Starfire, Adam Strange and ComicBook/AnimalMan are about to launch their ship, the engine stalls for a second, and they think it doesn't work. Strange's reaction? [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything "I don't get it. This has never happened to me before."]] ''Then'' it shoots into space. Adam Strange is at this point in the story ''technically blind'', so he extra-special doesn't notice.
2* Captain Marvel getting driven absolutely bonkers by spending too much time on the Rock of Eternity listening to the seven deadly sins.
3-->'''Captain Marvel:''' STOP '''SNORING''', SLOTH! And you stop bragging, Pride! This whole affair has ''nothing'' to do with you!
4* Black Adam, and yes, [[AntiHero Black Adam]] [[KnightTemplar of all ]] [[BewareTheSuperman people]], worrying about how he looks on his wedding day.
5-->'''Black Adam:''' The cape. They couldn't get this bloodstain out.\
6'''Captain Marvel:''' I can't believe it.\
7'''Black Adam''': What?\
8'''Captain Marvel''': You're nervous. I've never seen you nervous.\
9'''Black Adam''': I am ''not'' nervous. (''To himself'') Perhaps I should not wear the cape.
10* Renee occasionally tells the Question to "bite me." His response is to tell her [[DeadpanSnarker he can't, as he has no mouth]].
11* Black Adam goes through the process of bequeathing some of his power to Amon, which involves having Amon say "Black Adam."
12-->'''The Question:''' Black Adam! Shazam! Isis!
13-->'''Renee Montoya:''' What the hell are you doing?
14-->'''The Question:''' Seeing if it's contagious.
15** Doubles as [[spoiler: HarsherInHindsight when it's revealed that Vic's dying of lung cancer here.]]
16* When Starfire shows up at Animal Man's house to save him from bounty hunters and passes out from exhaustion after doing so, Buddy's wife asks if [[MsFanservice he ordered a stripper]] upon seeing her on the front porch.
17* In Week 18:
18** When listing the merits of the Croatoans, Detective Chimp includes that they figured out the ending of ''Series/{{Lost}}''.
19** Detective Chimp telling Ralph Dibny about how easy it was to track him down through his alias, Alvin Burgson.
20--->'''Detective Chimp:''' Please. Creator/ArthurConanDoyle based Literature/SherlockHolmes on a doctor named Joseph Bell, whose grandfather's neighbor was named Alvin Burgson. It's like you ''wanted'' to be found.
21* When explaining how he [[spoiler:posed as Supernova]], Booster Gold gives this gem:
22-->"First off, I had to play dumb. And if you were really yourself, [[spoiler:Skeets]], you'd be having a field day with that statement."
23* A depowered [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark Kent]] managed to get an interview with Supernova by throwing himself out of a window. Lois is not pleased.
24--> '''Lois''': You did '''what?''' [[HypocriticalHumor What ever possessed you to throw yourself out a window to get someone's attention?]]
25--> '''Clark''': The memory of you asking me that with a straight face will last a lifetime.
26* In Week 35, during "The Rain of the Supermen", we get some prime BlackComedy as Luthor, having [[spoiler:deactivated the powers of the Everymen]], makes a phone call and, looking up and seeing [[spoiler:a depowered superhuman]] falling down at his position, [[ComedicSociopathy calmly walks away and continues his phone call as if nothing happened]] while [[spoiler:the Everyman]] hits the roof behind him.
27** The name of the incident itself is a [[CrossesTheLineTwice very morbidly funny pun]] on ''Reign of the Supermen!'', a part of ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman'' saga.
