2[[caption-width-right:350:The Island Open -- not exactly a traditional golf tournament.]]
3-> '''John Locke:''' "The Man from Tallahassee?" What is that? Some kind of code?
4-> '''[[DeadpanSnarker Benjamin Linus]]:''' No, John, unfortunately we don't have a code for "There's a man in my closet with a gun to my daughter's head." Although we obviously should.
5-->-- '''Season 3, "The Man from Tallahassee"'''
6
7Things get pretty bleak on the Island sometimes, but nobody can say the Losties haven't had their fair share of laughs along the way.

11[[folder:Season 1]]
12[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS01E01PilotPart1 Pilot, Part 1]]" (1x01)]]
13* When Jack notices that Boone's CPR technique is wrong, Boone states that he's a licensed lifeguard. [[DeadpanSnarker Jack]] responds that [[BrutalHonesty he should think about giving that license back.]]
14** Jack then sends Boone on a SnipeHunt to get a pen for a tracheotomy so he can save Rose himself. After the very intense opening sequence is over, Jack takes a moment to rest, at which point [[BrickJoke Boone shows up with at least five pens]], saying he got a few because he wasn't sure which one would work.
15* Charlie sings one of his band's songs to Jack:
16--> '''Charlie:''' You all everybody! You all every...
17--> ''[irritated look from Jack]''
18--> '''Charlie:''' ...body.
19* As Kate steals shoes off of a corpse, she sees Locke giving her what looks like a DisapprovingLook, [[BaitAndSwitch only for him to notice her and do an orange peel smile.]]
20[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS01E02PilotPart2 Pilot, Part 2]]" (1x02)]]
21* After Sawyer shoots a polar bear:
22-->'''Boone:''' That can't be a polar bear.
23-->'''Group:''' It's a polar bear.
24-->'''Shannon:''' Polar bears don't live in the jungle.
25-->'''Charlie:''' Spot on.
26-->'''Sayid:''' Polar bears don't live near this far south.
27-->'''Boone:''' This one does.
28-->'''Sawyer:''' Did. It did.
29-->'''Kate:''' Where did that come from?
30-->'''Sawyer:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Probably Bear Village]]. ''[annoyed]'' How the hell do I know?
31-->'''Kate:''' Not the bear, the gun.
32** And then a bit later in that scene:
33--->'''Sawyer:''' Saw a guy lying there with an ankle holster. So I took the gun. Thought it might come in handy. Guess what? I just shot a ''bear''!
34--->'''Kate:''' So why do you think he's a marshal?
35--->'''Sawyer:''' Because he had a clip-on badge. *shows it* I took that too. Thought it was cool.
36** Not long followed by Kate stealing his gun.
37--->'''Kate:''' Does anybody know how to use a gun?
38--->'''Charlie:''' [[CaptainObvious Think you just pull the trigger.]]
39--->'''Sayid:''' ''Don't'' use the gun.
40--->'''Kate:''' I want to take it apart.
41--->(Sayid and Charlie go "oh".)
42* When the team on the radio mission first hear Rousseau's message:
43-->'''Charlie:''' That's French! The French are coming! I’ve never been so happy to hear the French!
44* As Jack is tending to the Marshal's shrapnel injury Hurley asks if he's sure the man is unconscious.
45-->'''Hurley:''' How do you know he won't wake up when you yank that thing out?\
46'''Jack:''' I don't.\
47'''Hurley:''' ''[to the Marshal]'' Hey, guy, are you awake? Yo, there's a rescue plane! We're saved! Yaaay! ''[Marshal doesn't react at all.]'' Yeah, he's out.
48[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS01E03TabulaRasa Tabula Rasa]]" (1x03)]]
49* Hurley quizzes Jack on what killed the pilot:
50-->'''Hurley:''' Was it a dinosaur?
51-->'''Jack:''' It wasn't a dinosaur.
52-->'''Hurley:''' You say you didn't see it.
53-->'''Jack:''' I didn't.
54-->'''Hurley:''' So, how do you know it wasn't a dinosaur?
55-->'''Jack:''' Because dinosaurs are extinct.
56-->'''Hurley:''' Oh... yeah.
57* Michael and Walt get in a heated argument about Vincent, to which Michael relents to finding him as soon as the storm stops. The storm immediately stops.
58* Michael, spooked by the rustling in the jungle, makes a run back to the beach and runs into a bathing Sun. He tries to stammer an explanation, then walks away nervously saying "I didn't see anything!"
59[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS01E04Walkabout Walkabout]]" (1x04)]]
60* The survivors hear a group of boars rummaging through the plane. Jack initially assumes the noise is Sawyer, who he found looting there in the previous episode, before Sawyer pops up behind him, saying, "[[ImStandingRightHere Right behind you, jackass.]]"
61* Michael trying to ask Sun to babysit Walt while he is off hunting. Even funnier the second time you watch it, when considering Sun ''understands'' English perfectly, and just nods. The whole "signaling" routine from Michael is hilarious.
62* Hurley and Charlie's attempts at catching a fish, which mostly involve stabbing wildly with a spear and falling into the water.
63* How does [[ItsAllAboutMe Shannon]] prove she can fend for herself? By getting Charlie to [[InsaneTrollLogic catch a fish for her.]] Boone remains unimpressed.
64[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS01E06HouseOfTheRisingSun House of the Rising Sun]]" (1x06)]]
65* After Charlie, Kate, Jack and Locke get attacked by bees:
66--> '''Charlie:''' Somebody... left this behind *holds out a woman's shirt to Kate*
67--> '''Kate:''' Yeah, it was... it was full of bees.
68--> '''Charlie:''' I'd have thought C's. *looks rather pleased with himself*
69* Michael venting his frustrations to a handcuffed Jin in season 1 after Jin tried to drown him for a watch.
70--> ''"I'm not exactly having the best month of my life. I barely knew my son and now I've gotta be his daddy. And then to top it off, I have a deranged Korean guy trying to kill me! For what?! Look, I get it. Hm? Right? It's the watch. Mine broke. I found this in the wreckage and I figured, hey, why let a $20,000 watch go to waste - which is ridiculous, because time doesn't matter'' on a damn island!"
71** To make this even better, Jin doesn't understand a word Michael is saying, and Michael is waving around an axe (to cut Jin free from his handcuffs), so Jin is absolutely terrified throughout the speech because he thinks Michael is about to ''murder him''.
72[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS01E07TheMoth The Moth]]" (1x07)]]
73* Charlie's confession:
74-->'''Charlie:''' Last night I had physical relations with a girl I didn't even know.
75-->'''Priest:''' I see. Anything else?
76-->'''Charlie:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Uh... yeah.]] Right after that I had ... relations with another girl. Then, straight after that I watched while they had... [[GirlOnGirlIsHot relations with each other.]]
77* Charlie describes himself as a [[VisualPun rock]] god moments before his shouting causes a cave-in.
78[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS01E08ConfidenceMan Confidence Man]]" (1x08)]]
79* Sayid's description of how he learned the JackBauerInterrogationTechnique is funny in a BlackComedy sense.
80-->'''Sayid:''' I served 5 years in the Republican Guard.
81-->'''Jack:''' I thought you were a communications officer?
82-->'''Sayid:''' Part of my training entailed getting the enemy to communicate.
83* Charlie and Claire eating imaginary peanut butter together is both funny and heartwarming.
84[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS01E09Solitary Solitary]]" (1x09)]]
85* After Hurley builds a golf course. This exchange of dialogue:
86--> '''Jack:''' This is bad.
87--> '''Michael:''' Yeah. I mean, I know what I would do, but... this has gotta be your call.
88--> ''[so, you totally think they're talking about something really super serious, but REALLY...]''
89--> '''Jack:''' Okay...give me the seven iron.
90--> ''[yep, they're talking about golf clubs. Beedle-ee-bink-dee-bink, BOING.]''
91* One of the other survivors happens upon the golf course:
92--> '''Sullivan:''' ''[incredulously]'' Are you - are you playing ''golf''?
93--> '''Jack:''' Y-yeah.
94--> '''Sullivan:''' [{{Beat}}] ''[brightly]'' Can I play?
95[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS01E10RaisedByAnother Raised by Another]]" (1x10)]]
96* Hurley reveals that "Hurley" is actually a nickname, but refuses to elaborate on [[NoodleIncident how he got it.]] But considering one meaning of the word [[NauseaFuel hurl...]]
97* Charlie to Claire:
98--> '''Charlie:''' What separates us from these savage Yanks if we cannot drink tea?
99* Hurley takes a census, and is weirded out by Locke just saying he was in Australia "looking for something" and "it found me." Hurley then turns to a background extra and says "I know I already talked to you, but I need an excuse to get away."
100** Before that, Locke [[{{Troll}} messes with]] Hurley by asking him rather pointedly who's going to check Hurley's own story out. Hurley gets very flustered by this before Locke tells him he was joking.
101* When Claire [[OhCrap starts having contractions in the middle of the woods with Jack nowhere around]], Charlie [[HypocriticalHumor very agitatedly tells her to calm down]], [[BlatantLies claims he can deliver a baby]], [[FromBadToWorse and then]] [[SayingTooMuch accidentally reveals]] that he's a recovering drug addict, [[OpenMouthInsertFoot all in the space of about thirty seconds.]]
102[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS01E11AllTheBestCowboysHaveDaddyIssues All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues]]" (1x11)]]
103* Boone tells Locke that he doesn't feel comfortable in the jungle with a RedShirt. When he explains how the Red Shirts always die in ''Franchise/StarTrek'', Locke simply says [[TakeThat "Sounds like a piss-poor captain."]] Becomes a bit of a HarsherInHindsight when Boone dies a few episodes later, and Locke is partly responsible.
104* Boone guesses that Locke was either a taxidermist or a hitman before the plane crash.
105[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS01E12WhateverTheCaseMayBe Whatever the Case May Be]]" (1x12)]]
106* Kate, out climbing trees, hears some ominous rustling in the bushes and throws a rock at the noise... and discovers that Sawyer was following her when she hits him in the knee.
107** The two exchange some funny dialogue after the above:
108--->'''Kate:''' You stalking me, now?\
109'''Sawyer:''' Stalking you? I was protecting you.\
110'''Kate:''' From what? Southern perverts?\
111...\
112'''Kate:''' I can take care of myself.\
113'''Sawyer:''' Oh, of course. 'I don't need protection. I can take care of myself. Me Kate. Me throw rock.'
114[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS01E13HeartsandMinds Hearts and Minds]]" (1x13)]]
115* Hurley steps on a sea urchin while out fishing with Jin, who still doesn't speak any English. For about five minutes Hurley yells at Jin to pee on his feet to alleviate the pain, while gesticulating wildly at Jin's crotch. Jin is understandably a little confused and worried as he shouts back in Korean. Jin's dialogue also makes for a great BilingualBonus.
116-->'''Jin:''' Just pull out the spines -- pull them out.
117-->'''Hurley:''' You're going to have to pee on my foot, man. It'll stop the venom. I saw it on TV. Ow, arrgh, no just pee on it man.
118-->'''Jin:''' No -- you idiot -- that isn’t going to do anything! That's for jellyfish stings!
119[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS01E16Outlaws Outlaws]]" (1x16)]]
120* When Hurley and Charlie are burying Ethan, Hurley thinks the body'll become a zombie:
121-->'''Hurley:''' "Dude, I know how it works. This is gonna end with you and me running through the jungle, screaming and crying. He catches me first because I'm heavy... and I get cramps."
122* Sawyer is repeatedly attacked by a boar, much to Sayid's amusement:
123-->'''Sayid:''' What was he doing inside your tent?
124-->'''Sawyer:''' It was staring at me. Then it came at me, so I hit it, and it ran off into the jungle.
125-->'''Sayid:''' With your tarp? ''[smirking]'' [[SarcasmMode Perhaps he wanted to go camping.]]
126-->'''Sawyer:''' ''[angry]'' You enjoying yourself?
127-->'''Sayid:''' [[BluntYes Yes.]]
128[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS01E18Numbers Numbers]]" (1x18)]]
129* Hurley hugging a very confused Danielle when she agrees with him that the Numbers are cursed.
130[[AC:"[[{{Recap/LostS01E19DeusExMachina}} Deus Ex Machina]]" (1x19)]]
131* Jack's "diagnosis" of Sawyer when he is suffering from headaches. After asking Sawyer many embarrassing questions about his sex life and possible [=STDs=], Sawyer storms off. Then this happens:
132--> '''Kate:''' I know he deserved it but--
133--> '''Jack:''' He needs glasses.
134** And later, after Sawyer has found a pair of glasses that work:
135---> '''Hurley:''' Dude, looks like someone steamrolled Franchise/HarryPotter.
136[[AC:"[[{{Recap/LostS01E21TheGreaterGood}} The Greater Good]]" (1x21)]]
137* Since Claire hasn't come up with a name for Aaron yet, Charlie nicknames him "Turniphead". Claire does not particularly appreciate this.
138* For some reason, Aaron stops crying whenever he hears Sawyer's voice, eventually leading to Sawyer reading a car magazine to make the baby sleep. Even better is that Charlie discovers this while Sawyer is complaining about Aaron's crying, so he follows him around with the baby in his arms, while Sawyer backs off like Charlie is approaching him with something disgusting.
139[[AC:"[[{{Recap/LostS01E23ExodusPart1}} Exodus, Part 1]]" (1x23)]]
140* Danielle tells the group where they need to go to get explosives.
141-->'''Danielle:''' Dynamite, at the Black Rock, in the [[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace Dark Territory.]]
142-->'''Hurley:''' [[LampshadeHanging Well, that's three great reasons to go, right there.]]
143[[AC:"[[{{Recap/LostS01E24And25ExodusPart2}} Exodus, Part 2]]" (1x24/25)]]
144* The untimely demise of Dr. Leslie Arzt. Here's some advice, kids: if you're talking about how dangerously unstable old dynamite is, don't wave it around.
145* Later when Jack's in the middle of one of his dramatic arguments with Kate over who gets to carry the deadly dynamite, Hurley stops him to point out a chunk of the doctor on his shoulder.
146-->''"Dude... you have [[AccidentalMisnaming Arnzt]] on you."''
147* Walt irritating Sawyer with constant questions on the raft.
148-->'''Walt:''' How would you like it if I read [your letter home]?
149-->'''Sawyer:''' You can't read mine because I didn't write one.
150-->'''Walt:''' Why not?
151-->'''Sawyer:''' Because the only one I ever wrote is to the man I'm going to kill.
152-->'''Walt:''' Why you going to kill him?
153-->'''Sawyer:''' Because I need to.
154-->'''Walt:''' Why?
155-->'''Sawyer:''' Because!
156* Locke pretending to play Operation with a case of dynamite. BZZZZZ!
157* Hurley's flashback in which he encounters numerous setbacks which should have prevented him from boarding the plane. His alarm doesn't go off because the power is shorted. The elevator at his hotel is packed, forcing him to take the stairs. His rental car gets a flat tire. He shows up at the wrong terminal. He is forced to wait in a long line at the security check. He even pays an old man $1600 for his electric scooter so he can get to the gate marginally faster. Finally, when he is allowed on the plane, he gives a big hug to the woman at the check-in desk.
158** As a FunnyBackgroundEvent, Hurley encounters the Numbers an absurd number of times on his way to the plane, but rather than freak out as usual, he's so panicked about missing the flight that he doesn't even notice.

161[[folder:Season 2]]
162[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS02E02Adrift Adrift]]" (2x02)]]
163* Sawyer [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome pulls a bullet out of his shoulder with his bare hands]], pauses, looks at Michael and says "Got a Band- Aid?"
164[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS02E04EverybodyHatesHugo Everybody Hates Hugo]]" (2x04)]]
165* Hurley's bizarre dream in the opening sequence, featuring him in the Hatch, talking to Jin and a man in a Mr. Cluck's costume. Jin starts speaking perfect English in a thick American accent, and when Hurley points this out, tells him that he is, in fact, the one speaking Korean, at which point Hurley starts doing exactly that. It ends with Jin telling him to "have a cluckity cluck cluck day."
166[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS02E05AndFound ...And Found]]" (2x05)]]
167* Ana Lucia is angrily trying to get Jin to fish with her, to which Jin simply shakes his head, "No." Then, as she grows increasingly more frustrated, he throws a net into the water and catches two huge fish instantly.
168[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS02E09WhatKateDid What Kate Did]]" (2x09)]]
169* Kate tells the unconscious Sawyer, who [[ItMakesSenseInContext she believes is possessed by her dead father]], why she killed him. A very confused Sawyer wakes up halfway through her big speech and wonders what the hell she's talking about.
170[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS02E10TheTwentyThirdPsalm The 23rd Psalm]]" (2x10)]]
171* When Eko tells Charlie to climb a tree while searching for the beechcraft, an irritated Charlie replies, "What if I don't, you gonna beat me with your Jesus Stick?"
172[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS02E11TheHuntingParty The Hunting Party]]" (2x11)]]
173* When Locke, Sawyer and Jack head out to look for Michael:
174-->'''Locke:''' Does any of this look familiar from when you were coming back?
175-->'''Sawyer:''' Well, yeah, there's my favorite leaf. How could I forget this place?
176* Charlie and Hurley's interactions at the Swan as they discuss their love lives.
177** The two look through records and finally decide on one. After a few minutes, Sayid walks in, and, in a complete monotone, says, "This music is quite depressing."
178** Charlie wonders if Claire has missed him yet after their falling out, to which Hurley points out that it was only a day ago.
179** Hurley describes Libby as kind of cute, "in a I've-been-terrorized-by-the-Others-for-40-days kind of way."
180[[AC:"[[{{Recap/LostS02E16TheWholeTruth}} The Whole Truth]]" (2x16)]]
181* Sun and Hurley have an incredibly awkward encounter in the jungle. Sun is looking for somewhere to take a pregnancy test and Hurley walks in, eating a chocolate bar he "just found in the jungle" completely whole. Both think they've just been busted by the other, then both realize they haven't and try quickly to get away. It's hilariously uncomfortable for both of them.
182[[AC:"[[{{Recap/LostS02E18Dave}} Dave]]" (2x18)]]
183* Hurley's conversation with his therapist:
184--> '''Therapist:''' Tell me something you like about yourself\
185 '''Hurley:''' [...] I like... chicken.\
186 '''Therapist:''' That last one wasn't about yourself.\
187 '''Hurley:''' I like that I like chicken?
188* Hurley finally reaches his boiling point with Sawyer and beats the crap out of him after he plays a cruel joke on him. He drags Sawyer into a tent and punches him back with every nickname Sawyer ever gave him. The fight is finally broken up by Jin...after he spends a few moments watching all of this with utter delight, only stepping in because Sun is asking him to ([[NotSoAboveItAll and even she seems to find it funny]]).
189[[AC:"[[{{Recap/LostS02E20TwoForTheRoad}} Two for the Road]]" (2x20)]]
190* Libby calmy bursting Hurley's bubble about the 'secret beach' he took her to on their date, pointing out Jin, who is just casually cleaning fish. Even better, after Libby leaves to try and get stuff to save the date, even Jin could see how bad a train wreck it was and just gives Hurley a thumbs up. Even Hurley has to admit it's ActuallyPrettyFunny
191--> '''Libby''' That's the third time we've been past that tree.
192--> '''Hurley''' That's a ... different ... tree.
193--> ...
194--> '''Hurley''' And we have arrived at the most amazing secret beach...
195--> '''Libby''' Hurley, this is our beach. There's Jin. ''[camera pans over, Jin smiles at them]''
196[[AC:"[[{{Recap/LostS02E23And24LiveTogetherDieAlone}} Live Together, Die Alone]]" (2x23/24)]]
197* When Eko runs panicking to the beach after Locke and Desmond lock him out of the Swan, we get this gem from Charlie:
198-->'''Eko:''' Charlie, do you know how they got the Hatch door open?
199-->'''Charlie:''' ''[playing his guitar]'' No, but if you hum it, I could probably play it.

201
202[[folder:Season 3]]
203[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS03E01ATaleOfTwoCities A Tale of Two Cities]]" (3x01)]]
204* Ben's QuipToBlack after the plane crash, when he sees Juliet holding ''Literature/{{Carrie}}'', a book that one of the guests at the book club had said Ben wouldn't read in the bathroom.
205-->''"So I guess I'm out of the book club."''
206* Sawyer's first time meeting Juliet as he's trying to escape: she randomly walks out of the jungle, casually says "hey," and then tasers him. Especially funny considering the two end up together.
207[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS03E02TheGlassBallerina The Glass Ballerina]]" (3x02)]]
208* Kate objects to having to break rocks in her flowery dress, to which Pickett rather crudely tells her she can take it off if she wants. Sawyer gives her a look as if to say that he likes the sound of that idea. When Kate gives him a DeathGlare in response, Sawyer rounds on Pickett and says "[[HypocriticalHumor How dare you?]]"
209* Jack doesn't believe Ben's claim that the Others are in contact with the outside world. So Ben starts getting him caught up on current events, to include George W. Bush winning the 2004 election and the Red Sox winning the World Series. This latter note causes Jack to break up in hysterical laughter at Ben picking [[DramaticIrony such an obvious lie.]]
210[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS03E03FurtherInstructions Further Instructions]]" (3x03)]]
211* Locke is preparing to enter the bear cave to rescue Mr. Eko. He pulls out a bottle of hairspray (for use later as a makeshift flame-thrower).
212-->'''Charlie''': "Hairspray? Now, I hate to be the one to point this out to you…” (starts grinning)
213-->'''Locke''': "It’s not for me.” (Terry O'Quinn looks like he's struggling not to laugh)
214* Hurley finds Desmond in the jungle. [[NakedPeopleAreFunny Naked]]. He ends up giving him a hilariously oversized tie-dye shirt to wear.
215-->'''Hurley''': So, like...the hatch blew off your underwear.
216[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS03E04EveryManForHimself Every Man for Himself]]" (3x04)]]
217* In order to get Sawyer to behave, Ben has a device installed in his chest that will give him a heart attack if he gets too excited, such as while fighting or trying to escape. Further, he tells him that if he lets Kate know what happened, they'd put one in her as well. This is all capped off with Ben giving him a heart rate monitor which will beep if his pulse gets too close to the red line. In the next scene, the Others give Kate a change of clothes, leaving her to change in front of him. His heart rate monitor immediately goes off as soon as she takes her shirt off and he has to turn around and pour water over his head.
218* Before they put the device in Sawyer, they have him StrappedToAnOperatingTable. One man prepares to put a frighteningly large syringe in Sawyer's chest, and the other has to remind him of the right place to put it in. This naturally does nothing to make Sawyer feel better about the situation.
219[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS03E05TheCostOfLiving The Cost of Living]]" (3x05)]]
220* The awkward moment as Paulo startles everybody in the Pearl by flushing the toilet very loudly and suddenly.
221-->''"The toilet still works."''
222[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS03E07NotInPortland Not in Portland]]" (3x07)]]
223* During the tense scene of Juliet and Ben talking privately while Jack watches from the next room, [[AffablyEvil Tom]] takes the time to awkwardly introduce himself to Jack. With Creator/MCGainey's claims that he played Tom as being attracted to Jack, it's also easy to interpret this as him trying to hit on him.
224-->''"I'm Tom, by the way."''
225* Sawyer calling Aldo out on his stupidity in falling for the TrojanPrisoner trick:
226-->''"Don't get mad at me just because you were dumb enough to fall for the old [[Film/ANewHope Wookiee prisoner gag]]."''
227* Despite being a ruthless Other, Tom turns out to be AfraidOfBlood, and nervously shuffles around the room looking like he's going to be sick when Jack needs help with Ben's surgery.
228[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS03E08FlashesBeforeYourEyes Flashes Before Your Eyes]]" (3x08)]]
229* Charlie and Hurley going through Sawyer's stash.
230-->'''Hurley:''' Dude, I don't know about this.
231-->'''Charlie:''' See, you're looking at this all wrong. [[BlatantLies He would want us to do this]].
232-->'''Hurley:''' He would want us to ransack his tent and take his stash? [[SarcasmMode Yeah, that sounds exactly like Sawyer.]]
233-->'''Charlie:''' Well, he stole all this in the first place. I mean, people need food. They need medical supplies. They need... [[BreadEggsMilkSquick shocking amounts of pornography]].
234* Charlie gets several great moments of snark when Desmond first realizes he's travelled back in time and starts raving like a madman.
235-->'''Desmond:''' You're Charlie.
236-->'''Charlie:''' ''[pointing to a sign at his feet]'' Yeah, name's on the sign.
237-->'''Desmond:''' Who -- they -- they. It -- it was in the hatch. I remember seeing you. There was a -- there was a computer. There was a button. We -- we were on an island.
238-->'''Charlie:''' We are on an island, mate. This is England.
239-->'''Desmond:''' No, it was real, man. I remember!
240-->'''Charlie:''' Hey, alright. [[HypocriticalHumor This is why we don't do drugs]].
241[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS03E10TriciaTanakaIsDead Tricia Tanaka is Dead]]" (3x10)]]
242* Hurley comes running to the beach with almost childlike excitement at finding a DHARMA van in the jungle, and everybody looks at him like he's got three heads when he proposes fixing it since none of them see any use for a car on the Island.
243** Nikki, of all people, actually seems like she wants to help before Paulo literally drags her away by the back of her shorts.
244** Everyone walks away, leaving only Jin, who smiles vacantly at Hurley, having no idea what's going on.
245--->'''Hurley:''' Thanks dude. You have no idea what you volunteered for, do you? ''[both of them laugh]''
246* Sawyer is genuinely shocked that Desmond, Charlie and Hurley had the nerve to drink his scotch while he was the Others' prisoner, while the former two seem to be trying not to laugh at his indignation.
247* All of Sawyer, Jin and Hurley's interactions as they work on the van:
248** Hurley bribes Sawyer to help them fix it with the promise of beer, although when Sawyer actually drinks it, he points out that it's "probably been sitting there since before ''Film/RockyIII'', maybe even ''[[Film/RockyII II]]''" and is probably poisonous.
249** Sawyer shares a beer with the skeleton they found, which he nicknames "Skeletor". Hurley calls him out for disrespecting the dead.
250--->'''Hurley:''' That's not cool, dude. That guy had a mom, a family, and friends. Oh, and a name, it's not Skeletor, it's [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Roger Workman.]]
251--->'''Sawyer:''' It's Work Man, you blockhead. That's his job. He was a DHARMA janitor.
252** Sawyer teaches Jin to say (in English) the only three things a woman should ever need to hear:
253--->'''Sawyer:''' I'm sorry.
254--->'''Jin:''' I'm sorry.
255--->'''Sawyer:''' Okay, nice. Keep it coming.
256--->'''Jin:''' You were right.
257--->'''Sawyer:''' Okay. That's two. Hit me.
258--->'''Jin:''' [[Main/ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Those pants don't make you look fat.]]
259** While helping Jin practise his English, Sawyer tells him to call Hurley "[[YouAreFat International House of Pancakes.]]"
260** Hurley's LameComeback to Sawyer's latest nickname.
261---> '''Sawyer:''' What's your problem, Jumbotron?
262---> '''Hurley:''' Shut up, [[BuffySpeak Red... neck... man!]]
263---> '''Sawyer:''' Touché.
264[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS03E11EnterSevenSeven Enter 77]]" (3x11)]]
265* Hurley teaches Sawyer some humility by absolutely destroying him at ping-pong. Even better, Sawyer is banned from using nicknames for a week as a result of TheBet, and has to grit his teeth as he calls Hurley "Hugo" instead of making another fat joke.
266[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS03E12ParAvion Par Avion]]" (3x12)]]
267* Sawyer is seemingly about to call Claire "Franchise/{{Barbie}}" before a pointed look from Sun reminds him that he's still not allowed to use nicknames.
268-->'''Sawyer:''' Nets for what, Barb— Nets for what, Claire?
269[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS03E13TheManFromTallahassee The Man from Tallahassee]]" (3x13)]]
270* All of Ben and Locke's interactions, as two of the show's supreme {{Deadpan Snarker}}s go head-to-head.
271** Ben finds Locke holding Alex at gunpoint. Immediately after, Richard and Tom arrive to talk to Ben, so Locke hides in the closet while Ben has a very casual conversation with the other two. After they leave, Locke gets paranoid:
272---> '''Locke:''' "The Man from Tallahassee?" What is that? Some kind of code?
273---> '''Ben:''' No, John, unfortunately we don't have a code for "There's a man in my closet with a gun to my daughter's head." ''[[[{{Beat}} thinks about it for a moment]]]'' Although we obviously should.
274** Locke's attempts to probe Ben on the Others' secrets don't go anywhere.
275--->'''Locke:''' Where do you get electricity?\
276'''Ben:''' We have two giant hamsters running on a massive wheel in our secret underground lair.
277** Likewise, Ben has no success trying to intrigue Locke with mysterious promises.
278--->'''Ben:''' What if I told you that somewhere on this island, there's a very large box ... and whatever you imagined, whatever you wanted to be in it, when you opened that box, there it would be. What would you say about that, John?\
279'''Locke:''' I'd say I hope that box is big enough to imagine yourself up a new submarine.
280[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS03E14Expose Exposé]]" (3x14)]]
281* Hurley once again crushes Sawyer at ping-pong, with Sawyer insisting on another rematch [[BestOutOfInfinity every time he loses]].
282* Sawyer spoofs the way Nikki and Paulo seemingly [[RememberTheNewGuy popped up out of nowhere]] at the start of the season by constantly forgetting their names and making clear he doesn't know or care who they are. He doesn't even seem to know who Nikki is when she apparently dies right in front of him.
283-->'''Hurley:''' Dude, Nikki's dead.
284-->'''Sawyer:''' Who the hell's Nikki?
285* Boone rushes up to [[{{Recap/LostS01E01PilotPart1}} ask Nikki for a pen]] in the middle of the plane crash aftermath.
286* Hurley's attempts to play detective while investigating what happened to Nikki and Paulo.
287-->'''Hurley:''' That's evidence. You're messing up the crime scene.
288-->'''Sawyer:''' Crime scene? There a forensics hatch I don't know about?
289* [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike Just as Hurley once did,]] Paulo wonders if the Monster is actually a dinosaur.
290* While looking for their bag, Paulo says they should have gone to [[TheMole Ethan]] for help rather than Arzt. What makes it funnier is that this scene actually takes place a week ''after'' Ethan kidnapped Claire, showing that Nikki and Paulo [[LockedOutOfTheLoop seemingly have no idea what's happening at the camp]].
291* While reading the script of ''Exposé'', Hurley says the show is about two strippers who solve crimes. Sawyer, who had never heard of the show until just now, replies with a perplexed "How'd I miss that one?"
292* The deaths of [[TheScrappy Nikki and Paulo]] are somewhat funny in a rather [[BlackComedy dark way]], especially since WordOfGod has confirmed that the [[BuriedAlive horrifying nature]] of their deaths was a direct response to their unpopularity.
293[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS03E15LeftBehind Left Behind]]" (3x15)]]
294* Kate pretty much sums up the entire show with one line:
295-->''"Welcome to the wonderful world of not knowing what the hell's going on."''
296* The entire subplot of Hurley tricking Sawyer into being nice to people:
297** Hurley approaches a very irritated Sawyer while he's reading and talks to him from a distance with his back turned as if he's in a spy movie, telling him that the others are having a vote on whether or not to banish him. Since Sawyer still isn't allowed to use nicknames, he settles for telling Hurley that he is "rotund, annoying, and ruining [his] damned view."
298** To prove he can fend for himself, Sawyer catches a fish and makes an EpicFail attempt at gutting it.
299** When Sun, still angry over her "kidnapping", gives him a DeathGlare, Sawyer wryly observes that he's not going to get "the Korean vote."
300** At Hurley's urging, Sawyer tries to take an interest in Aaron to impress Claire. All he can think to say about him is that he's "not as wrinkly as he was a couple weeks ago." His attempt to appeal to Aaron directly also goes very badly, which is particularly funny when compared to how Aaron used to stop crying when he heard Sawyer's voice in Season 1.
301--->'''Sawyer:''' Hey there, little baby.\
302'''Aaron:''' ''[instantly starts crying]''
303** Finally, Sawyer finds out that Hurley lied about the vote:
304--->'''Sawyer:''' You tricked me into being decent? That's gotta be the lamest con in the history of cons.
305[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS03E16OneOfUs One of Us]]" (3x16)]]
306* The way Ben nervously approaches the Flame because Mikhail doesn't have his walkie on.
307-->'''Ben:''' Mikhail! It's Ben! I'm here with Juliet! We're approaching the house! Don't shoot us.
308-->'''Mikhail:''' Well, hurry up, then!
309[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS03E17CatchTwentyTwo Catch-22]]" (3x17)]]
310* The fact that the series actually went out of its way to [[FlashbackToCatchphrase explain]] why Desmond calls everybody "[[VerbalTic brother]]". The moment where he first calls Brother Campbell this at the monastery is almost treated as a dramatic WhamLine.
311* Jin steals the show on the camping trip. He's just so excited to be going camping with everyone, despite the fact every other member of the group knows that's a cover story. The part where they're hanging around a campfire at night, and it pans over to Jin who has a flashlight under his face and is telling a scary story...''in Korean''!
312--> Jin: (In a child's voice) '하느님, 감사합니다. 저는 갈고리 손인줄 알고 무서웠어요.' 그러니까 그 남자가 웃으면서 이 말 했지. (In a deeper voice) '하느님, 감사합니다. 저는 갈고리 손인줄 알고 무서웠어요.' 그러니까 그 남자가 웃으면서 이 말 했지...박혀 있다! [[note]] This translates to: "And the girl turned to the man who saved her and said , 'Thank God. I was afraid you were the Hook Man.' And the man looked at the girl with a smile and said, 'Don't worry, little girl. My hook is....STILL IN YOUR FATHER'S HEAD!" [[/note]]
313* Hurley and Charlie's [[SeinfeldianConversation debate]] over whether ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' or ''ComicBook/TheFlash'' would win in a race.
314-->'''Hurley:''' Dude, if we're going by a pure footrace, Supes would get dusted by The Flash.\
315'''Charlie:''' But, why would the Man of Steel agree to a sodding footrace?\
316'''Hurley:''' Er, for charity. And Flash would totally win 'cause he can, like, vibrate through walls and stuff.\
317'''Charlie:''' [[SarcasmMode Oohh vibration, whatever would Superman do if he came up against a wall?]]\
318'''Hurley:''' Well, no smashing allowed.\
319'''Charlie:''' No flying, no smashing, any other restrictions I need to know about? Perhaps we should fit Superman with a pair of Kryptonite ballet slippers.
320* Jack and Sawyer play ping pong together.
321-->'''Sawyer:''' If we don't play every 108 minutes, the island's gonna explode.\
322
323[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS03E18DOC D.O.C.]]" (3x18)]]
324* Just as Desmond is saying that nobody [[TemptingFate knows they're in the jungle]], Hurley accidentally lets off a flare, alerting anybody in the vicinity to their presence.
325-->'''Hurley:''' Oops.
326[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS03E19TheBrig The Brig]]" (3x19)]]
327* Locke and Rousseau's awkward meeting at the Black Rock. Danielle just casually pops in to get some dynamite, and clearly hears Sawyer in the brig, screaming at Locke to let him out, but the two go their separate ways without really questioning each other on what they're up to, as if it's just a normal Tuesday for both of them.
328[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS03E22And23ThroughTheLookingGlass Through the Looking Glass]]" (3x22/23)]]
329* Rose tells Jack where to stick his CatchPhrase: "If you say 'Live together, die alone' to me, I'm going to punch you in the face." Even the usually pretty serious Jack, and during a serious situation too, [[ActuallyPrettyFunny has to admit]] it's a very funny line right away.
330* When Alex and Danielle are reunited after 16 years, the first thing Danielle says to her daughter is to ask her if she wants to tie up Ben with her.
331* A very funny moment in the middle of a very tense scene. When Locke has Jack at gunpoint, threatening to shoot him if he calls the freighter, while Jack is defiantly refusing to drop the phone, Ben, tied to a nearby tree, starts yelling "Do it, John! Shoot him!"
332* As Sawyer and Juliet are hiking back to the beach he asks her why the Others had him and Kate hauling rocks while in captivity.
333-->'''Juliet:''' We were building a runaway.\
334'''Sawyer:''' A runway? For what.\
335'''Juliet:''' The aliens. ''[she and Sawyer stare at each other before she smirks]'' I don't know what it's for. You think they told me everything?\
336'''Sawyer:''' Yeah, yeah, whatever you say. So, you screwing Jack yet?\
337'''Juliet:''' No. Are you?

339
340[[folder:Season 4]]
341[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS04E01TheBeginningOfTheEnd The Beginning of the End]]" (4x01)]]
342* In a flashforward, Hurley freaks out at the police station after he's been arrested when he sees a vision of Charlie. When the cop interrogating him angrily threatens to have him thrown in the nut house, Hurley is [[ThreatBackfire overjoyed by this suggestion]] and starts hugging and thanking him, much to his confusion.
343* Hurley, having been freaked out by the cabin, closes his eyes and tells himself that it's not real. He opens them again, and then screams again when he sees an amused Locke looking down at him.
344* When Hurley tells Charlie's ghost to prove that he's real, he responds by slapping him in the face.
345* Ben, a prisoner of the survivors once again, is reduced to making sarcastic quips about the drama unfolding in front of him.
346** He asks Danielle to “do him a favor” and the “are you fucking shitting me” look on her face has to be seen to be believed.
347** After Jack realizes that the phone is missing, Ben delights in telling him that he saw Kate steal it from him, and that she had the right trail to find Naomi when Jack didn't listen to her.
348--->''"But look on the bright side, at least somebody around here knows what the hell they're doing."''
349** When Jack confronts Locke:
350--->'''Jack:''' You killed Naomi.\
351'''Ben:''' Well, technically, he didn't kill her yet.
352** During the tense BreakingTheFellowship scene with the survivors splitting between Jack and Locke's camps, he actually [[RefugeInAudacity asks Jack for permission to go with Locke]]. Even better, Jack grants it, realizing that keeping Ben as a prisoner is more trouble than it's worth.
353[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS04E02ConfirmedDead Confirmed Dead]]" (4x02)]]
354* When Karl calls Ben "Mr. Linus", he tells him "Now, if you're gonna sleep with my daughter, I insist you call me Ben."
355* Miles instantly establishes his DeadpanSnarker credentials after landing on the Island, though Sayid [[SnarkToSnarkCombat gives as good as he gets]] in response.
356-->'''Sayid:''' And what do you do, Miles?
357-->'''Miles:''' I collect soil samples.
358-->'''Sayid:''' Oh, that's nice. Well, maybe you can help me. You say you're not here on a rescue mission, and the world at large believes us to be dead. But here we are alive and well, and you don't seem remotely surprised to see us.
359-->'''Miles''': ''[mock surprise]'' Oh my God, you guys were on Oceanic Flight 815! Wow! That better?
360* When Lapidus lands on the Island, he climbs up a hill, and is greeted by the sight of a cow staring at him. It moos in his face and then walks off.
361* Sawyer snarking when Locke explains that he's been taking orders from "Walt, but taller."
362-->''"Sure! Who are we to argue with taller ghost Walt?"''
363* Kate tries to convince Daniel to give her his gun, but he meekly tells her that he can't "because Miles would kill me."
364[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS04E03TheEconomist The Economist]]" (4x03)]]
365* Hurley meets Miles, who immediately makes fun of his weight:
366-->''"Oh, awesome. The ship sent us another Sawyer."''
367[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS04E04Eggtown Eggtown]]" (4x04)]]
368* Kate easily tricks Hurley into telling her Miles's location, and Hurley has barely gotten the full sentence out by the time he realizes he's been fooled.
369-->'''Kate:''' He's still in the rec room, right?\
370'''Hurley:''' No, we moved him to the boathouse that... You just totally [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Scooby-Dood]] me, didn't you.\
371'''Kate:''' Sorry.
372* Later on, Sawyer implies that [[CannotKeepASecret Hurley]] has told pretty much everyone at the Barracks this.
373* Ben lampshades the oddly specific amount of money that Miles asks him for.
374-->'''Miles:''' So now I've found you. And I can tell him exactly where you are. Or I can lie, and tell him you were already dead. I'd be willing to do that, for 3.2 million dollars.\
375[...]\
376'''Ben:''' 3.2? But why not 3.3 or 3.4?
377[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS04E06TheOtherWoman The Other Woman]]" (4x06)]]
378* Juliet's very awkward first meeting with Goodwin, where she spends several minutes ranting about what a horrible person Harper is, before she's stunned into silence when Goodwin reveals that Harper is his wife.
379[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS04E08MeetKevinJohnson Meet Kevin Johnson]]" (4x08)]]
380* Miles, using his psychic abilities, figures out that Michael is lying about his identity the moment he steps on board the freighter, but couldn't care less, and tells him everyone on board is lying about something.
381[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS04E09TheShapeOfThingsToCome The Shape of Things to Come]]" (4x09)]]
382* Locke's group are sitting around a table, having a tense discussion, seemingly about what to do about the freighter crew or Ben, only for it to be revealed that they're just playing ''TabletopGame/{{Risk}}''.
383-->'''Hurley:''' We're all gonna die.\
384'''Sawyer:''' Calm down, Literature/ChickenLittle. The sky ain't falling just yet.\
385'''Hurley:''' This is exactly what he wants—to fight amongst ourselves. You're making a big mistake, dude.\
386'''Locke:''' It's his to make, Hugo. Let's get on with it.\
387'''Sawyer:''' Right... I'm attackin' Siberia.
388[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS04E10SomethingNiceBackHome Something Nice Back Home]]" (4x10)]]
389* Sawyer acting like an overprotective big brother towards Claire, even telling Miles he's not allowed to look at or talk to her, and giving him a "restraining order."
390* Daniel awkwardly trying to smooth things over with the survivors, and calling Charlotte out on fueling their distrust of them without her constant snarkiness.
391-->'''Daniel:''' Damn it, Charlotte. That right there, that right there. Your—your attitude — your very bad attitude — it's exactly why they don't trust us.
392* Sun and Jin gossiping about the ShipTease between Daniel and Charlotte. Even Charlotte can't suppress a grin when she overhears them.
393-->'''Jin:''' Do you think she knows he likes her?\
394'''Sun:''' She's a woman. She knows.
395[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS04E12TheresNoPlaceLikeHomePart1 There's No Place Like Home, Part 1]]" (4x12)]]
396* Hurley's mom's reaction when he seizes a sold gold statue of Jesus to defend himself:
397--> ''"Hugo! Jesus Christ is ''not'' a weapon!"''
398[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS04E13And14TheresNoPlaceLikeHomePart2 There's No Place Like Home, Part 2]]" (4x13/14)]]
399* Ben's [[ComedicSociopathy casual disregard for human life]] as he dooms everyone on the freighter by killing Keamy.
400-->'''Locke:''' You just killed everybody on that boat.
401-->'''Ben:''' So?
402* The way Miles casually drops the bombshell that Charlotte has been to the Island before, surprising even Charlotte herself. It almost comes across as the writers trolling the audience by slipping in yet another unanswered question when we're in the middle of trying to piece together the show's complicated timeline, and his sly answer to her questions seems like LeaningOnTheFourthWall.
403-->'''Miles:''' I'm surprised you wanna leave.
404-->'''Charlotte:''' Sorry?
405-->'''Miles:''' It's just weird. You know, after all that time you spent trying to get back here.
406-->'''Charlotte:''' What do you mean, get back here?
407-->'''Miles:''' ''[coyly]'' ...What ''do'' I mean?
408[[/folder]]
409
410[[folder:Season 5]]
411* The RunningGag of Ben being annoyed whenever anyone who's known him for any amount of time is surprised that he lied to them. Michael Emerson stated in interviews that around this time he started treating the show like a comedy, even when nobody else did. It shows.
412--> '''Sun''': Why should I believe you?
413--> '''Ben''': ''[looking at her like she's stupid]'' You shouldn't.
414[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS05E01BecauseYouLeft Because You Left]]" (5x01)]]
415* Richard gives Locke a compass to give back to him when he sees him again, which Locke assumes is magic somehow.
416-->'''Locke''': What does it do?
417-->'''Richard''': [[CaptainObvious It points north, John.]]
418[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS05E02TheLie The Lie]]" (5x02)]]
419* The part where Hurley is trying to get Sayid, who has been shot with horse tranquilizer, to a safe location manages to be hilarious, despite being tense.
420** Ana Lucia's ghost pulls Hurley over, then berates him for his stupidity in pulling over for a police car while he's a fugitive, before casually telling him "Libby says hi."
421** Hurley puts sunglasses on the unconscious Sayid before going into 7-11 to buy a large yellow t-shirt with a Shih-Tzu on it.
422** Hurley's mom's response when she finds Sayid on the couch:
423--->'''Carmen:''' Why is there a dead Pakistani on my couch!?
424*** In a meta example, this line became a popular google search, leading to many confused people online LockedOutOfTheLoop wondering why people had dead Pakistanis on their couches.
425* Hurley's explanation to his mother of what happened to him on the Island, lampshading to hell and back the ContinuityLockout masterpiece the series has become. Made even better by his very confused mother's reponse.
426-->'''Hurley:''' Okay. See, we did crash, but it was on this crazy island. And we waited for rescue, and there wasn't any rescue. And there was a smoke monster, and then there were other people on the island. We called them the Others, and they started attacking us. And we found some hatches, and there was a button you had to push every 108 minutes or... well, I was never really clear on that. But... the Others didn't have anything to do with the hatches. That was the DHARMA Initiative. The Others killed them, and now they're trying to kill us. And then we teamed up with the Others because some worse people were coming on a freighter. Desmond's girlfriend's father sent them to kill us. So we stole their helicopter and we flew it to their freighter, but it blew up. And we couldn't go back to the island because it disappeared, so then we crashed into the ocean, and we floated there for a while until a boat came and picked us up. And by then, there were six of us. That part was true. But the rest of the people... who were on the plane? They're still on that island.
427-->'''Carmen:''' I believe you. I don't understand you, but I believe you.
428* Hurley [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZAlQJbCPac instinctively throwing a Hot Pocket at Ben.]]
429-->'''Ben:''' Hello Hugo.
430-->'''Hurley:''' HYAA! ''[throws hot pocket at Ben]''
431** Followed by Ben's subtle but ''awesome'' look of "Seriously, did that just happen?"
432[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS05E03Jughead Jughead]]" (5x03)]]
433* Faraday plans to use the next time flash to escape from the 1950s Others, but admits that he has no idea when it's coming, and that it might not be for another 5000 years.
434* Daniel tells Ellie that she reminds him of someone he knows, and she sarcastically calls him "quite the Romeo", since he's just confessed his love for Charlotte, while he nervously stammers that that's not what he meant. A fairly innocuous interaction at the time, but it becomes much funnier after you find out that Ellie is Daniel's ''mother''.
435[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS05E04TheLittlePrince The Little Prince]]" (5x04)]]
436* When Kate realizes that Ben is the one trying to take Aaron from her, Jack tries to defend him only for Ben to bluntly admit that she's right, and give Jack a half-hearted apology.
437* Sawyer's increasing frustration with the time jumps culminates with him actually being happy with one when he realizes they're about to jump while being shot at by unknown assailants.
438-->''[[TemptingFate "THANK YOU, LORD!!!]]'' ([[YankTheDogsChain They arrive in the middle of a storm]]) ''I TAKE THAT BACK!!!"''
439* The look of shock on Jin's face when he meets the young Rousseau, since he has no idea that he's been time travelling and is just completely baffled as to what's going on.
440[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS05E05ThisPlaceIsDeath This Place is Death]]" (5x05)]]
441* The entire scene where Sawyer tries to explain the time travel to Jin. Jin's response is to yell at Sawyer in Korean, and request multi-lingual Charlotte to translate. Sawyer, misunderstanding, looks at Miles (who has Chinese heritage) and says "You heard the man, translate!"
442-->'''Miles:''' Erm, he's Korean. I'm from Encino.
443** It also serves as a little CallBack to Season 1 when Hurley kept referring to Jin and Sun as Chinese instead of Korean.
444[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS05E06ThreeOneSix 316]]" (5x06)]]
445* Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley, Sun and Ben are all on a plane headed back to the Island. The camera does a closeup on each of them, revealing them to be nervous, tense and worried. Except Ben, who's calmly reading a book.
446-->'''Jack:''' How can you read?
447-->'''Ben:''' ''[doesn't even look up]'' [[MathematiciansAnswer My mother taught me.]]
448** Making this line even funnier is the fact that it's a [[BlatantLies Blatant Lie]]. Ben's mother didn't teach him to read because she died giving birth to him. There's no real purpose to this lie, Ben's just lying because he's [[ConsummateLiar Ben.]]
449* As the plane is about to take off:
450-->'''Jack:''' What's going to happen to the other people on this plane?
451-->'''Ben:''' ''[[[EvilCannotComprehendGood genuinely confused]]]'' [[ComedicSociopathy Who cares?]]
452* Just after the plane takes off, a cabin announcement informs the passengers that the plane's being flown by their old friend Frank, who happily exits the cockpit to say hi to Jack when the flight attendant tells him he's on board. "Small world, ain't it?" cracks Frank. Then he notices Kate...and Sayid...and Hurley...and Sun...and Ben...and looks back at Jack with an expression of dawning horror. "Wait a second," he says. "We're not going to Guam, are we."
453[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS05E11WhateverHappenedHappened Whatever Happened, Happened]]" (5x11)]]
454* Miles' exasperation at Hurley's persisting complete lack of understanding of the fundamental principles of time travel:
455-->'''Miles:''' ''[handing Hurley his gun]'' Shoot me. Please. Please?
456-->'''Hurley:''' Ah-ha! I can't shoot you, because if you die in 1977, then you'll never come back to the island on the freighter 30 years from now!
457-->'''Miles:''' I CAN die! Because, I've already COME to the island on the freighter! Any of us can die! Because this is our present!
458[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS05E12DeadIsDead Dead is Dead]]" (5x12)]]
459* The ease with which Ben manages to manipulate Caesar. After a season of having to deal with the survivors, who know better than to trust a word he says by now, you can tell Ben is relishing having an easy dupe to go after. It's easy to feel sorry for Caesar when he tries to claim that he's calling the shots, not realizing how utterly wrong he is until the moment Ben shoots him.
460-->'''Caesar:''' When you were out cold, he was watching over you. And he said you killed him.\
461'''Ben:''' I killed him? Really? 'Cause he looks fine to me. You know, I don't really remember him from the plane. Do you?\
462'''Caesar:''' No, I don't.\
463'''Ben:''' What if... he was already here, before we crashed? If he thinks I killed him, then he's insane. We may be dealing with a man who's dangerously deranged. Then the question is, what are we gonna do about it?\
464'''Caesar:''' Don't worry, my friend. I have your back.
465* As always, all of Locke and Ben's interactions.
466-->'''Locke:''' Well, Ben, I was hoping that you and I could talk about the elephant in the room.\
467'''Ben:''' I assume that you're referring to the fact that I killed you.
468** When Ben is wondering how Locke suddenly figured out where the Smoke Monster lives.
469--->'''Ben:''' How is it that you know where you're going?\
470'''Locke:''' I just know.\
471'''Ben:''' I mean, how does that work, exactly?\
472'''Locke:''' How does what work?\
473'''Ben:''' The knowing. I mean, did it come upon you gradually, or did you wake up one morning suddenly understanding the mysteries of the universe?
474* Lapidus lampshades his absurd circumstances to hell and back.
475-->'''Lapidus:''' As long as the dead guy says there's a reason, well, then I guess everything's gonna be just peachy. And forget about the fact that the rest of your people are supposedly 30 years ago... now the only ones who are here to help us are a murderer and a guy who can't seem to remember how the hell he got out of a coffin.
476[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS05E14TheVariable The Variable]]" (5x14)]]
477* Sawyer reunites with Daniel who has returned to the island and been trying to get Miles to help him convince people they are from the future:
478--> '''Sawyer:''' Welcome to the meeting, twitchy. Good to see you again. Pound cake's in the kitchen. Help yourself to the punch.
479--> '''Sawyer:''' ''[lowered voice to Miles]'' Is he still crazy?
480--> '''Miles:''' It's on a whole new level, man.
481--> '''Sawyer:''' ''[sighs]'' Great.
482[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS05E15FollowTheLeader Follow the Leader]]" (5x15)]]
483* Pierre Chang quizzing Hurley to determine if he belongs in 1977. Made funnier by Hurley's earlier worrying that he didn't know who the president was in 1977 and Sawyer reassuring him he would never need to know.
484-->'''Dr. Chang:''' Your friend Faraday said that you were from the future. I need to know if he was telling the truth.
485-->'''Hurley:''' Dude, that's ridiculous.
486-->'''Dr. Chang:''' What year were you born? What year?
487-->'''Hurley:''' Uh... 1931?
488-->'''Dr. Chang:''' You're 46?
489-->'''Hurley:''' Yeah. Yes, I am.
490-->'''Dr. Chang:''' So you fought in the Korean War?
491-->'''Hurley:''' ...there's no such thing.
492-->'''Dr. Chang:''' Who's the President of the United States?
493-->'''Hurley:''' ... All right, dude, we're from the future. Sorry.
494[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS05E16And17TheIncident The Incident]]" (5x16/17)]]
495* Another few classic moments of snark from Ben.
496** With Locke, at the survivors old camp:
497--->'''Locke''': See that back there?
498--->'''Ben''': ''[complete monotone]'' It's a door. How bout that.
499--->...
500--->'''Locke''': Can I ask you something?\
501'''Ben''': ''[deadpan]'' I'm a Pisces.\
502'''Locke''': ''[tries not to laugh]''
503*** Once again, this is a pointless lie. Ben's not a Pisces because he was born in mid December. He just lies because [[ItsWhatIDo it's what he does.]]
504** When the group reaches the foot of the statue. Made funnier by the fact that he's actually telling the truth for once.
505--->'''Sun:''' What happened to the rest of the statue?\
506'''Ben:''' I don't know. It was like that when I got here.\
507'''Sun:''' Do you expect me to believe that?\
508'''Ben:''' ''[wearily]'' Not really.
509* Miles snarks about the craziness of the survivors' situation.
510-->'''Miles:''' Jack! So this bomb is supposed to what, blow us back in time?\
511'''Jack:''' We're not going back in time.\
512'''Miles:''' [[SarcasmMode Right, because that would be ridiculous!]]
513* Upon being released from prison, Hurley desperately tries to convince the apathetic guard discharging him that he's a murderer, which he doesn't believe for a second.

516[[folder:Season 6]]
517[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS06E01And02LAX LA X]]" (6x01/02)]]
518* When "Locke" reveals himself as the Smoke Monster, Ben incredously says "You're the Monster", to which "Locke" responds that there's no need to resort to name calling.
519[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS06E04TheSubstitute The Substitute]]" (6x04)]]
520* Ben delivers a touching eulogy for Locke that ends with him admitting he's sorry for murdering him, to the surprise of Sun, Ilana and Lapidus.
521-->'''Lapidus:''' Weirdest damn funeral I've ever been to.
522* In the Flash-sideways, schoolteacher Ben goes on a rant about the other teachers not disposing of their coffee filters, which is implied to be a common issue for him.
523-->''"Alright, I know I sound like a broken record, but how many times do we have to go over this? If you have the last cup of coffee, you remove the filter and throw it away. Fear not. I will make a fresh pot."''
524[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS06E07DrLinus Dr. Linus]]" (6x07)]]
525* Ben's situation as Ilana forces him to [[DigYourOwnGrave dig his own grave]] is a rich source of BlackComedy.
526** Ben tries to bribe Miles to help him escape, but Miles tells him he doesn't need his money because of the two "jabronies", Nikki and Paulo, who are buried right next to them with 8 million dollars' worth of diamonds on top of them. [[BrickJoke At the end of the episode]], we see Miles with the diamonds, confirming that he dug up their graves.
527** The Man in Black shows up and irritates Ben with a fairly obvious question.
528--->'''The Man in Black:''' What are you doing?\
529'''Ben:''' ''[angrily]'' I'm digging my own grave!
530** While Ben is ranting about his situation, the Man in Black very casually frees him with a wave of his hand, and tells him to meet him to become the new protector of the Island. After he leaves, Ben pauses, then looks at Ilana, who is eating a mango. The two stare at each other for a moment Ben throws the make-shift shovel to one side and breaks into a [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Jack Sparrow run]] into the jungle, with Ilana in pursuit.
531[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS06E08Recon Recon]]" (6x08)]]
532* When Sawyer is captured by Widmore's goons he dryly comments: "Take me to your leader."
533[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS06E12EverybodyLovesHugo Everybody Loves Hugo]]" (6x12)]]
534* Ilana may have forgiven Ben, but that doesn't mean she's stupid enough to trust him.
535-->'''Ben:''' For the ''fourth time'', I was out picking mangoes, and when I found her she was already unconscious. Why are you assuming that I'm lying?\
536'''Ilana:''' Because you're speaking.
537* Ilana [[DroppedABridgeOnHim very abruptly blowing up]] is funny in a BlackComedy way.
538* When Hurley admits to his concerns about Libby having spent time in Santa Rosa after their date in the Flash-sideways, Desmond offers this gem of a dating insight. One can only wonder what Penny would think of his words.
539-->'''Desmond:''' Well, all women are a little bit crazy, brother...
540[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS06E13TheLastRecruit The Last Recruit]]" (6x13)]]
541* Sawyer says Lapidus looks like a guy who walked off a Creator/BurtReynolds set and later calls him "chesty."
542[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS06E16WhatTheyDiedFor What They Died For]]" (6x16)]]
543* Most characters in the Flash-sideways remember their past lives because of an important connection with another person, usually a LoveInterest. What causes [[ButtMonkey Ben]] to start remembering? [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Desmond beating the crap out of him.]]
544* Miles notes the rather interesting sense of time the characters deal with.
545--> '''Miles:''' Well, I lived in these houses 30 years before you did, otherwise known as last week.
546* There's something hilarious about the way Flash-sideways Desmond so casually turns himself in for running over Locke, like the world's most polite criminal.
547-->'''Sawyer:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Thanks for saving the taxpayers the trouble of hunting you down.]]\
548'''Desmond:''' [[SarcasmBlind You're welcome.]]
549[[AC:"[[Recap/LostS06E17And18TheEnd The End]]" (6x17/18)]]
550* While Miles, Lapidus and Richard try to fix the Ajira plane so they can leave with the Island collapsing into the sea around them, Ben calls Frank to see how the plane's coming. Frank curtly disconnects him.
551-->'''Ben:''' Sounds like they're making progress.
552* Miles summarizes how they're going to fix the plane:
553-->''[[DuctTapeForEverything "I don't believe in a lot of things but I do believe in duct tape."]]''
554* Christian's MeaningfulName finally gets lampshaded:
555-->'''Kate:''' Who died?
556-->'''Desmond:''' A man named Christian Shephard.
557-->'''Kate:''' ''[chuckling]'' [[PunnyName Christian]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic Shephard]]? Seriously?
558-->'''Desmond:''' Seriously.
559* An "awakened" Hurley has some great interactions in the Flash-sideways with his friends who still don't remember him.
560** First, as he sits in a van with Sayid preparing to kidnap Charlie
561---> '''Hurley:''' None of this is bringing back any memories, is it? You, me, tranquilizer gun...?\
562'''Sayid:''' You're insane!
563** Hurley has a huge grin on his face when he's reunited with his old [[HeterosexualLifePartners Heterosexual Life Partner]] Charlie, who has no idea who he is, and asks him why he's "grinning like a sodding idiot."
564** When Sayid is waiting for Hurley, he hears him suddenly open the trunk and throw something into it.
565---> '''Sayid:''' What was that?!\
566'''Hurley:''' That was Charlie.
567** When Charlotte wakes him up at Widmore's concert, Charlie remembers how he got into this situation.
568---> '''Charlie:''' I was shot by a fat man.
569* Flash-sideways Jin and Sun (who do not speak English) regain their memories of the Island, including their learning of English, in the middle of receiving the ultrasound of Ji-Yeon. Juliet is mildly confused when they suddenly begin speaking fluent English.
570--> ''"And, for the record, y-you two speak English just fine."''
571* As the Island is starting to disintegrate Ben calls Lapidus on the walkie-talkies to see how they're doing getting the plane ready.
572-->'''Ben:''' Frank, how's it going over there? What's your timetable?\
573'''Lapidus:''' DON'T BOTHER ME! (''tosses the walkie talkie aside'')\
574'''Ben:''' Sounds like they're making progress.

576
577[[folder:Meta/Non-Canon]]
578* Creator/HaroldPerrineau provides these gems in the HilariousOuttakes.
579-->[into payphone] ''"I'm coming for Walt! I'm getting my son back!"'' [goes to hangup, then pulls the phone back up] ''"And you stink in bed!"''
580-->''"Don't tell me what I shoulda seen, man! Way back home, I'd bust a cap in yo ass, homie! For real, West Side!"''
581-->''"Oh...no...you...didn't. It's not a 'raaaaaft.'[[labelnote:*]]says it like Naveen Andrews's British accent[[/labelnote]] It's a 'raft.'''"
582-->'''Tamara Taylor:''' And he wants to adopt Will. Walt. ''(struggles not to laugh)''
583-->'''Harold Perrineau:''' First of all...you don't know his name. That's a problem.
584-->'''Tamara Taylor:''' It's a big problem.
585* The story behind the WordSaladLyrics of "You All Everybody" as detailed in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcifRZSSbOg DVD Extra.]] On an old episode of ''The Phil Donahue Show'', a female audience member said, "You all everybody is acting like it's the stupid people wearing the expensive clothes. And they not!" This line became a RunningGag among Damon Lindelof and his friends for how nonsensical it was, before eventually he and producer Bryan Burk decided to incorporate it into the show as Drive Shaft's big hit.
586* On the main menu of the third disk of the Season 3 DVD, a TV screen shows Juliet's full secret video message to Jack from "The Cost of Living." Her penultimate card, which wasn't shown in the episode, says "By the way, your ex-wife is much prettier than me."
587* The [[DVDCommentary DVD commentaries]] lead to some hilarious moments:
588** On "The Whole Truth", Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse said that they're still waiting for the people who run the "Got Milk?" ads to offer to do one with the iconic image of "Henry" saying, "You guys got any milk?"
589** On "[[http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/A_Tale_of_Two_Cities_audio_commentary A Tale of Two Cities]]", Lindelof and Elizabeth Mitchell basically do a {{MST}} of the episode (they even point this out). Highlights include Jack's trophies, Dharma Initiative labels and French presses.
590** [[http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/LA_X,_Part_1_audio_commentary LA X, Part 1]] is also Lindelof and Cuse mostly doing an MST. Honorable mentions on how Lost would be changed if it had swearing, Lindelof trademarking "tap the bomb", and a Frank Lapidus calendar.
591** On "[[http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/I_Do_audio_commentary I Do]]", Cuse mentions that Creator/JoshHolloway called him to rehearse the romantic scenes... and it just gets worse from there.
592** And then there's the time when Creator/EvangelineLilly became the first person to ever need to take a bathroom break while recording a commentary.
593* The parody "[[https://youtu.be/Yzcf2GgljZo The Final Episode]]," which aired at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Kate and Sawyer talk about how Jack is getting them off the island, before showing she's talking about [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Jack Sparrow]]. Elsewhere, Sayid has tied up Ben so that he can't stop them from leaving, but demands answers about the strange things on the island: monsters, polar bears, "[[Creator/MiraFurlan a French woman]] [[FakeNationality with an Eastern European accent]]." Ben promises there's one simple unifying explanation for everything, but as he starts to talk, the film cuts to static. By the time it clears, Sayid is amazed by what's been said, and says "My money was on purgatory."
594* From the Jimmy Kimmel "Aloha To Lost" special, we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jjfc7uLJvCo&feature=topvideos the Alternate Endings sketch,]] where the ''Lost'' cast partakes in hilarious [[AffectionateParody Affectionate Parodies]] of ''Series/{{Survivor}}'', ''Series/TheSopranos'', and the famous AllJustADream ending of ''Series/{{Newhart}}''.
595** Another moment from the special: When Kimmel asks the guests if any of them took an item from the show, Jeremy Davies (Daniel Faraday) starts to say how he took the skinny tie he was currently wearing from costuming, but Creator/TerryOQuinn suddenly pulls a knife out of his pocket, flips it open one handed, and calmly smiles while everyone laughs.
596** The first thing Jimmy says to Harold Perrineau (Michael) is "First of all, thanks for killing [[TheScrappy Ana Lucia]]."
597[[/folder]]
598
599!!'''Mobisodes'''
600* The mobisode "Tropical Depression," where Arzt tells his backstory to Michael in a rather forced manner, saying how he met someone online and saved all his money to visit her in Australia, only for her to disappear on their date. You can just tell Michael is waiting for him to finish so he can leave.
601* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7khPxHdz0O0 The 11th mobisode]], entitled "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Jin Has a Temper-Tantrum on the Golf Course]]" is hilarious from start to finish.
602----
603
604%%* Sawyer: "Oh, happy day! Here comes Film/DrGiggles!"
605%%* "DON'T BOTHER ME."
606%%"...Sounds like they're making progress."
607%%* "Weirdest damn funeral I've ever been to..."
