1!!For the NBC television series:
2
3* Ed trying to chase a bad guy on a mini-motorcycle (or, more accurately, trying to join Danny and Mike in their chase), before giving up in frustration and throwing it across the parking lot.
4* The first several episodes had Danny narrating, and in the first episode in particular they are very funny. Take the first episode where Ed Delany storms his hotel room with armed security to find him in bed with his daughter.
5-->'''Ed:''' That Judas!
6-->'''Danny:''' And he's gone straight to the biblical quotes. If he starts Sun Tzu I'm screwed.
7** Ed does, then Delinda says if Ed does anything to Danny she'll kill herself. And that includes firing him.
8-->Well at least I get to keep my job. Not that I want to now, because Big Ed Delany can do things with a fork that will have you crying for momma.
9** BrickJoke: After catching a poker cheat Ed asks for a fork. And why did he storm Danny's room? Because of a report of a weapon. Which Delinda clarifies.
10-->He did have a weapon daddy. Just not the kind you were thinking of. (cue OhCrap)
11* There's the case of the stolen prosthetic leg. Ed is ''not'' in the mood for any bullshit when he's gathered all the suspected culprits in an interrogation room.
12-->"Me and Danny here, we're gonna go back to our office for ten minutes. But in ten minutes, if I come back here and there's not a leg in the middle of this table, I'm gonna bitchslap every one of you so hard that your unborn children will come out well-behaved."
13* The absurd lengths Mike goes through (including getting a job so he could steal a security tape, and then extrapolating an image in remarkable quality from a reflection on a screen) even by this show's [[EnhanceButton absurd standards]]. What's he doing all this for? To prove Ed's ticket for running a red light was from a defective camera. [[spoiler:So Ed shows the photos to a judge in the casino, who says Ed would still get a ticket -- [[ShaggyDogStory for not wearing a seatbelt]].]]
14* An early episode had Ed supposedly take a vacation and leave Danny in charge. In reality, he's running a test to see if Danny can handle the job by triggering a number of incidents. The second one: sending in a group of elderly men in motorized wheelchairs to pull pranks. [[Music/TheSweet "The Ballroom Blitz"]] playing over the scene just makes it funnier.
15* [[spoiler: Monica's]] death is BlackComedy at its finest. She's on the roof in a ridiculous "Mothwoman" costume (there's a comic book convention going on), ranting on her power and how she's going to own Las Vegas, throwing out her arms... and a gust of wind catches the "wings" of the costume and sends her flying off for a big fall.
16** Even better is how everyone not only refuses to believe Danny's story of what happened but actually are ''perfectly okay'' with the idea he pushed [[spoiler: Monica]]. Whenever Danny proclaims innocence, he gets winks of "sure, go with that."
