1* In "Brother's Keeper", Sonny punches Tubbs for mentioning his DeadPartner. He says he's out of line and Tubbs responds by punching him back, saying, "I couldn't let you handle all that bad karma by yourself."
2* Crockett throwing beer from a glass to a dancing informant's shoes after the informant had declared that his feet are on fire.
3* Zito, after Rodriguez asks him and Switek to take part in a burglary sting operation that required two seedy-looking guys:
4--> '''Zito:''' Sure, Lieutenant. ''*To Switek*'' So who are the seedy-looking guys?
5* Tubbs and Crockett concocting a plan to force New York drug dealers to accept the package from them:
6--> '''Crockett:''' If the dealers fail to deliver...
7--> '''Tubbs:''' Then the Revillas' clients start to shiver
8--> '''Crockett:''' You're a real poet, Rico.
9--> '''Tubbs:''' And my momma knows it...
10* Crockett's pet alligator Elvis' antics early in the first season.
11** Of special note comes when Crockett has Elvis scare the crap out of Tubbs in the first episode, with a clearly terrified Tubbs yelling "Crockett! Crockett!" When a smirking Crockett leaves Tubbs alone with the alligator.
12** In another episode, Elvis ate Crockett's record collection. Crockett points his gun at Elvis, threatening to throw his favorite blanket in to the ocean.
13** Crockett giving Elvis a manicure with a metal file.
14** Florida Wildlife Control officers once came to get Elvis and relocate him to the Everglades; Crockett protested that Elvis wouldn't be able to get coffee and donuts in the Glades.
15** Really, the fact that Elvis is basically a [[AllAnimalsAreDogs big, misbehaving dog]].
16* Crockett and Tubbs are trying to buy Stinger rocket launchers from a seedy arms dealer (Jeff Fahey!). When Crockett complains that the rockets are too old, Fahey grabs one, aims for Crockett's [[CoolCar Ferrari]], and BOOM.
17--> '''Tubbs:''' Sold!
18--> '''Crockett:''' (gapes in shock)
19** [[spoiler:Relax, they blew up a mocked-up Corvette instead.]]
20* One episode had Crockett trying to buy cigarettes out of several vending machines, all of which ate his money.
21* Lt. Castillo's introduction, trying to ask the OCB cops where his office is.
22* Sonny Crockett, living on a yacht, driving a Ferrari, wearing designer clothing, constantly bemoans his financial situation. (Funny... but also true; none of that stuff is actually his and it's also pointed out a few times he's simply making a cop's wages and nothing more; we don't know what his alimony situation with Caroline was for the first four seasons; and we're told at least once exactly what he and Rico don't have in their bank accounts and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking how Amex turned him down]]. The only thing likely to have improved Crockett's finances is the likelihood of an inheritance from Caitlin, sadly.)
23* During a stakeout, Crockett and Tubbs are doing surveillance in a Florida Power and Light utility truck, when an elderly homeowner comes up to the pair and starts yelling about utility workers being lazy on the job.
24* The episode "Like a Hurricane" is full of funny bits.
25** Caitlin Davis sums up Crockett perfectly: "He's the fashion police!"
26** Caitlin asks how Crockett is going to protect her: "With a blow dryer???"
27** Caitlin yet again, "accidentally" calling Crockett's Ferrari a "Testosterone".
28** Crockett gets a couple in himself, between complaining that his dinner of oysters with Caitlin cost $60, or his CopycatMockery throughout the episode.
29* In "Phil the Shill," Switek is getting punished with a lousy surveillance detail due to getting conned by the aforementioned con artist Phil. At the end of the episode, he spots [[KarmaHoudini Phil having moved on]] [[HereWeGoAgain to a new scam]] playing a televangelist. With a tranquil fury, Switek pulls out his pistol and shouts "This one's for you, Elvis!" as he [[ShootTheTelevision blasts the poor TV]].
30* In "Made For Each Other" after drug dealer Artie blew up a warehouse with evidence money still inside, [[SmugSnake he brags about it being reduced to ashes]]...which inspires Zito to run in and grab it. One heroic window dive later with said evidence money, this happens:
31-->'''Switek:''' [[ChewingTheScenery ASHES, HUH?! ASHES!!]]
