1!!The Film
2* Tatiana repeatedly interrupting her own description of what the Lektor decoder looks like to say things like, "Oh, James, will you make love to me in England?" "Day and night. Go on about the decoder." Poor Moneypenny.
3** Actually, Bond's tone of voice when he says that makes it like, "Yeah, yeah, whatever. Now tell me about the machine".
4** Not to mention the looks of a British general and other officials listening to the tape.
5--->'''Tatiana:''' "It has a brown case. Brown like your eyes..."\
6'''Bond:''' (hastily) "Keep it technical."
7* In that same conversation, James bringing up a NoodleIncident regarding M in Tokyo. M ''immediately'' pauses the recording and excuses Moneypenny from the room.
8* While James and Kerim are discussing the LEKTOR heist, Kerim questions James' priorities between the LEKTOR and Tatiana. James insists the LEKTOR is the only thing he wants. When Kerim gently pushes him on it, James amends with a sheepish "Well..." that makes Kerim laugh.
9* James enters the UsefulNotes/MI6 office, tosses his hat on the rack, and prepares to give a witty remark to Moneypenny... then the door closes and he sees M giving him a DeathGlare for being late. James, immediately cowed, shuts up and follows M into his office like a child in trouble at school.
10** As Bond and M are heading into the latter's office, you can see Q in the background with a certain piece of luggage in his hands. Once the two are in the office, he turns to Moneypenny, who has this to say...
11--->'''Moneypenny:''' "It'll be a miracle if he can explain where he's been all day."
12* During one moment in the train, Tatiana is looking into a mirror and uses some of her hair to give herself a mustache before she hears a knock on the door and immediately stops. Weirdly enough, when the intro for ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'' shows a clip show montage of Bond’s villains and love interests, ''this'' is the moment they pick for Tatiana.
13* Kerim Bey gags a Russian security agent, then sits next to him and takes out a cigar.
14-->'''Kerim Bey:''' I've had a ''particularly'' fascinating life. Would you like to hear about it?\
15(Russian makes muffled noise, presumably a "no".)\
16'''Kerim Bey:''' (delighted) You would!
17* When James slaps Tatiana's ass, she says, "There are ''some'' English customs, that are ''going'' to be changed!"
18* Bond and Kerim sniping Krilencu as the latter escapes from a billboard Anita Ekberg's teeth, said billboard advertising ''Call Me Bwana'' by...Creator/AlbertRBroccoli. The blatant plug and the imagery of a guy escaping from the mouth of a giant Anita Ekberg is too hard not to laugh at.
19** Also Bond's remark after Krilencu falls to his death:
20--->'''Bond:''' ''(referring to the billboard)'' She should have kept her mouth shut.
21* Bond at the Russian embassy.
22-->'''Bond:''' Excuse me, you did say that clock is correct?\
23'''Consulate Officer:''' [[AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption Russian clocks are always-]]\
24''[Kerim Bey's bomb explodes]''
25** While everyone else goes into panic mode, Bond chuckles at the timing.
26* At a hotel room in Venice, Bond uses a chair to pin Rosa Klebb to the wall, who is clumsily struggling to kill him with her poison-tipped knife shoe.
27* Blofeld casually grabbing a Siamese fighting fish from the tank and feeding it to his cat.
28* Bond strolls into Kerim's apartment (after a bomb had gone off) and casually quips, "Well, who won?" Kerim explains that said bomb was supposed to get him at his desk, but he was fortunately relaxing on his sofa. He was really getting down with his mistress, left in hysterics, prompting Bond to jokingly ask if she found his routine too rough.
29* And just before that, Kerim's resigned response to TheMistress wanting sex. "Back to the salt mines..." It's a lot of work making all those sons!

31!!The Novel
32* A bit of pitch-black comedy, but [[HeroicComedicSociopath Darko Kerim]] discussing the bomb his people stuck under the Soviets' Turkish embassy:
33-->"If anything happens to me, or if war breaks out with Russia, that bomb will be set off by radio-control from my office. It is sad [Kerim didn’t look sad] but I fear that many innocent people will get killed besides the Russians."
34* Tatiana asks why British men don't wear cologne like Russian men do. Bond replies "We wash."
