[[caption-width-right:350:''[[MundaneMadeAwesome "This is me cutting an onion."]]]]''
* The mini animated video series "G-Bites" are full of funny moments:
** The entirety of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iYiQ4N_Kos "The Eel"]], where Murdoc scolds 2D for being too loud while killing an eel Russel wanted to cook by bludgeoning it.
-->'''Murdoc:''' For the love of sweet Satan, my head! Oh, what is that banging?! STOP THAT BANGING!
-->'''2D:''' It's this eel, Russel taught me to knock it out 'cuz he's going to cook it for d-
-->'''Murdoc:''' STOP IT BANGING! ''STOP IT BANGING!''
-->''(The eel slips out of 2D's hands, causing him to go into panic mode.)''
-->'''2D:''' I can't catch it! Look, it's all slippery! I can't- I can't- I can't kill it!
-->'''Murdoc:''' ''(grabbing the eel)'' "Can't kill it"?! What do you mean, you can't kill it?! I'll show you how to kill an eel, you grab the damn thing and you ''[[KillItWithFire melt its face!]]''
-->'''2D:''' [[RapidFireNo NONONONONO!]] N-NO!
-->'''Murdoc:''' MELT ITS FACE! ''MELT ITS FACE!!''
-->'''Russel:''' Ayo, Mudz, where my eel at? Where's my eel? Where my eel?!
-->'''Murdoc:''' He don't feel too good. [[BondOneLiner He]] [[QuipToBlack feel...]] ''[[{{Pun}} eel.]]''
** The entirety of "Fancy Dress", which includes Russel scolding Murdoc for dressing like a Nazi and 2D happily walking around in his mummy get-up.
** "Jump the Gut" has Noodle scam Del in their bet (with Russel implied to also be on the act), 2-D tripping over and the picture of a turd in his think bubble when Russel scolds him.
*** Del's description of 2D's stunt is... strange, to say the least.
--->"When he lets go of that break man, it's gonna be like Evel Knievel's stunt bike plowing through a whole platoon of two-inch plastic German ground troops!"
** Russel keeps shaking 2D to mimic the figurines of them in "Hey! Our Toys Have Arrived", much to Murdoc and Noodle's amusement.
** In "Game Of Death", Murdoc and 2D play some "fighting game" (implied to be them pretending to play a game while they watch Noodle, who has history of [[TykeBomb growing up in a]] SuperSoldier [[TykeBomb experiment]], [[CurbStompBattle beat the absolute shit out of Russel]]). Murdoc, who is playing as Russel, shows off some SoreLoser tendencies:
-->'''Murdoc:''' [[BlatantLies My controller's broken!]]
-->'''2D:''' You always say that.
-->'''Murdoc:''' Oh, that Russel character's ''RUBBISH!''
-->'''2D:''' Hah, you always say that too.
-->'''Murdoc:''' [[HereWeGoAgain Best of three?]]
-->'''Russel:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Ahhhh, man....]]
* Murdoc's tour of the [=IE9 beta=].
** One of the top comments for the Website/YouTube video is rather humorous.
--->'''bobdrantz:''' So... The future is a green-skinned British cartoon rockstar riding a toy boat and very enthusiastically talking about the (then) latest Internet browser system? Sounds good to me!
* ''Rise of the Ogre'' is full of hilarious quotes and stories:
** The gang recall having to recolor every frame with the cross on the truck in "Dirty Harry" from ''Music/DemonDaysAlbum'' to avoid copyright:
--->'''Murdoc:''' I was hiding in a cupboard over at passion pictures, spying on him. When he got to frame 49,996 I burst out and demanded that he change the cross to a kind of "magenta-y pink". I live for things like that.
** A story from their tour travelling days about Murdoc:
--->'''2D:''' Also, Murdoc always acts like such a dick. Every bus we go in, he goes over to the microwave and pops an egg in there when no one's looking. Two minutes later "Pffffffhhh!!!" The egg's exploded everywhere. Murdoc always acts like he knows nothing about it. So annoying. And when you accuse him, he ignores you or acts all indignant.\\
'''Murdoc:''' ''(snootily)'' I have never put an egg in a microwave.\\
'''Noodle:''' You lie.
** Murdoc's dismay that the song "Rock the House" from ''Music/{{Gorillaz|Album}}'' apparently contained panpipes, and him commenting how the check they got after their first gig were of those super-sized variety.
--->'''Murdoc:''' I can't tell you how much of a dick I felt carrying that down to Barclays. Although I can at least I can say I didn't lose it. How could I? It's enormous.
** Murdoc's response when 2D tells him he loves him:
--->'''Murdoc:''' Look, I won't say it again. I saved your life, you owe me your soul.\\
'''2D:''' Okay!\\
'''Murdoc:''' Oh, nice one.
** Murdoc recounts how he was harassed by a drunken [[ComicBook/ArchieComics Jughead]] at a party, accusing him of stealing his "idea" of a cartoon band. Yes, Gorillaz share the same universe with ''Archie'' of all things.
--->'''Murdoc:''' Fuck Jughead.
** Murdoc's general attitude to the technical interviews, the funniest easily being his making [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Charlie Brown]] "mwh mmah mwah" noises.
** A supposedly heartwarming moment between Murdoc and Russell is shared:
--->'''Murdoc:''' And when you're cramming that much into your day, your diet just goes out the window. You end up living on fast food junk. I was sitting there scoffing away on some chili Jack flame-grilled alloy nonsense from a well-known burger chain, when a mouthful of "Freedom Fries" became lodged in my throat. I turned blue. They're quite hard to swallow. Fortunately, Russ punched me in the back hard enough to dislodge the blockage, which shot out across the room. ...I never thanked you for that, Russ. You saved my life.\\
'''Russel:''' I didn't know you were choking.
** When discussing flatulence in the tour bus.
--->'''Noodle:''' It can be a truly unpleasant existence.\\
'''2D:''' Shut up, Noodle. You're the worst!
** Discussing the "Dirty Harry" video, none of the band has a clue what kind of animals they brought in to dance along near the end. 2D decides they're "desert otters"; Russel corrects him, they're actually stoats; Noodle suggests they're "sand weasels"; Murdoc blows them all off and insists they're "Namidian dune ferrets". Capped off perfectly when the narration pointedly clarifies that they are, in fact... "meer cats".
** When the gang talk about "Dirty Harry" and working with the children:
--->'''Murdoc:''' Kids! Gotta love 'em. Couldn't eat a whole one though.
** When discussing the Search for a Star movement, this exchange happens:
--->'''Noodle:''' I wanted to assemble a creative army. It is better to light a candle than complain about the darkness.\\
'''Murdoc:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I'd rather complain about the darkness than burn my house down.]]
* The entire Gorillaz Cribs episode:
** Murdoc pisses over the wall of a bathroom stall, and also pisses in the toilet in the ''stall next door''. And there's a lot of steam coming out of it.
** "This is me, [[MundaneMadeAwesome cutting an onion]]." [[labelnote:Note]]There's an actual picture on the wall of him doing just this, ''with an axe''.[[/labelnote]]
** "'Murdoc is a nob?' Humph. ''(Under his breath)'' I'll get 'im..."
** Noodle's angry reaction to Murdoc leading the tour into her bedroom. It's made even better [[FreezeFrameBonus if you look closely]] when the camera falls over; [[NotSoAboveItAll Murdoc can be seen hastily scrambling out of the room like he's legitimately terrified of her]].
-->'''Noodle:''' 出て行け! ("Deteike!") ''(Japanese for "get out!")'' ''(angrily throws a Game Boy at Murdoc and the crew)'' IT'S MY ROOM! GET OUT!
* The seagull and pelican on the website. Made even better when you know that [[CreatorCameo the seagull is Damon Albarn's voice and the pelican is Jamie Hewlett.]]
* Cyborg Noodle's [[http://gorillaz.com/profile/Cyborg_Noodle data log.]]
-->CMD:MALL RUMMSZ\\
Unknown Command detected "MALL RUMMSZ"\\
CMD:Yoohoo! Robocop! Fetch Rum Pour Favor!\\
Running Translation; Language Detected "Bad French".
* Murdoc and "David Bowie" take a crack at the shipping forecast.
* Their iTunes sessions interview:
** Murdoc talks about the troubles he used to face with his band due to their... inconvenient naming senses.
--->'''Murdoc:''' It's important to get a name right, though, isn't it? I had this one band called: 'THIS SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED.' And, uh, well, no one ever came to see us. Pointless, really. So, we split up. We did reform briefly about a month later under the name: 'WE HAVE SPLIT UP,' but, yeah, again it was just a waste of time.\\
'''2D:''' You're an idiot.\\
'''Murdoc:''' SHUT YOUR FACE!
** Later in the interview, 2D is talking about his early musical loves.
--->'''2D:''' But, y'know, keyboards was the thing that I loved. Stylophones, Moogs, synths, electronic stuff--anything that makes a [[BuffySpeak bloopy]] noise. Uh, I was a bit like Music/BrianEno.\\
'''Murdoc:''' Only... without the talent. Or brains.\\
'''2D:''' [[TheDogBitesBack Sod off, you old goth.]]\\
'''Murdoc:''' RIGHT! That's IT!\\
* breaking glass and 2D squealing*
** Murdoc goes on a long monologue praising ''Rise of the Ogre'', calling it the best book ever and even saying that it should be compulsory reading in schools. This exchange follows:
--->'''2D:''' I haven't even read it.\\
'''Murdoc:''' Neither have I.
*** Earlier on, Murdoc calls ''Rise of the Ogre'' "the best book I ever wrote [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative (well, the only book I ever wrote)]]." He doesn't make clear how he managed to ''write'' the whole thing without ever ''reading'' any of it.
* Everything about the "Stylo" music video.
** The scene where Creator/BruceWillis pulls up next to Murdoc and 2-D in the car chase. Murdoc's reaction? He ''rolls up the window.''
*** The best part was his expression. "OH MY GOD roll up the window ROLL UP THE WINDOW".
*** Before this, when Bruce first pulls up behind them, 2D mouths "It's ''Bruce!''" with a terrified expression. Cue Murdoc's OhCrap face.
** When the police car pulls up behind them, blaring its lights and sirens, Murdoc's only response is to [[ComicallyMissingThePoint irritably signal them to pass him.]]
*** [[FunnyBackgroundEvent And 2-D slinking down into his seat in embarrassment]] and futilely trying to [[ICantLookGesture cover his face with his mask,]] clearly aware that this isn't going to end well.
** [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Murdoc's halfhearted attempts to prevent]] [[GunNut Cyborg]] [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Noodle]] from firing at the cop, which unsurprisingly fail miserably.
** After the police officer from the video gets run off the side of the road, the first thing he does is [[DonutMessWithACop start crawling towards his spilled donuts.]]
* The entire [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqR-uzq65ig Feel Good Inc. commentary]].
-->'''Noodle:''' The windmill that bursts through the clouds was greatly inspired by Japanese animation. The colors, the tones, the textures and the brightness of the clouds... It was important to make something that seemed like it has sprung from the mind of a child. In this way it would fit with the pure sentiment of the song.\\
'''Murdoc:''' Great idea, eh? Really very cryptic, isn't it? Actually- next video, Jamie wants to stick a ''talking horse'' in there.
** From that same video, Murdoc commenting they had to turn the floating island around because someone had daubed "GORILLAZ KNOB OFF" on one side.
* Murdoc and 2-D being locked in the dressing room while the concert is going on.
** At one point, 2-D somehow manages to find another door and uses it to go to the bathroom, much to the annoyance and confusion of Murdoc.
--->'''Murdoc:''' Where the bloody hell have you been?\\
'''2-D:''' Toilet.\\
'''Murdoc:''' Toilet!? What do you mean "Toilet"!? (slaps 2D) Where the hell did this door come from?!
** And his sassy walk and pimp slap.
** Murdoc trying and failing to open both jammed doors.
--->'''Murdoc:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Need! To! Get! On! Stage! Can't! Yank! Knob! Any! Harder!]] ''(Breaks the knob off and crashes into the table)'' Right! That's it! I'm going to smash that door down with brute force! ''(Charges into the door)''.
** 2D's worried look and his shuffling away whilst Murdoc does this. Then when Murdoc charges toward the door, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent 2D winces]] and [[ThisIsGonnaSuck cover his eyes]].
** The entire third part, consisting of Murdoc strumming on [[BrickJoke 2D's banjo]] and dizzily singing "Broken", [[NoodleIncident all while the dressing room is heavily damaged and the sounds of fire alarms and sirens play in the background]].
--->'''Murdoc:''' ''It's all gone wrong.''
* The Motorola Sting short, in which Murdoc is wearing nothing save a hat and a thong, playing a piano in the middle of... some lovely meadow, complete with rainbows, goats and sheep. Suddenly, his phone rings, and...
-->'''Murdoc:''' Mmmmm... Motorola! Look, I can't talk now, I'm '''naked'''! ''*immediately goes back to playing piano*''.
* Murdoc's "love story" from Pirate Radio 4.
-->'''2-D:''' I think I need to change my pants after that one.
* Any of the Pirate Radio broadcasts, really. It seems Murdoc has finally lost it.
** A few highlights:
--->'''2D:''' Why are you being so nice to me?\\
'''Murdoc:''' [[HypocriticalHumor SHUT YOUR FACE!]]\\
\\
'''Murdoc:''' [[RefugeInAudacity And remember, boys and girls, Satan loves you!]]\\
\\
'''Murdoc:''' Hey, is that a whale?\\
'''2D:''' [[AbsurdPhobia AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!]]
* All of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nOGy52xygY "DoYaThing"]]. Every. Last. Second.
** The 13-minute explicit version has 9 minutes of André 300 screaming about how he's the shit. [[ClusterFBomb 61 times.]]
* "Noodle, you friggin' wasabi bitch! I'm on fire!"
* A good deal of the mockumentary [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIX7ivEqT2s Charts of Darkness]]. Highlights include Jamie smearing hamburgers on the wall and "Jamion".
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wy7ZCiiQVY 2-D and Murdoc live in New York]], particularly Murdoc relating a story where he had to explain who he was to the lady at the ticket counter.
-->'''Murdoc:''' Well, [[BreakingTheFourthWall I may just be a puppet]], but I'm a multimillionaire [[TrillingRs rrrockstar]] puppet.
** His trying to re-enact uh... [[HeadTiltinglyKinky whatever it was he did]] with her. Complete with charading and some interesting sound effects.
--->'''2D:''' I don't understand.
* Additionally, Murdoc's pelvic thrusting in "Rock The House" must be seen to be believed. And then a stray ball hits him where the sun don't shine.
* The extended Kong Studios tour on their [=YouTube=] is narrated by MEL, an extremely snarky, sarcastic, and bitter AI that is located in the Studio's basement. The comments it makes on almost everything, combined with a hilarious text-to-speech voice, makes for some great moments.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGWYF_sVD8A We are the Dury]] interview has multiple moments:
** Murdoc's recounting of his time in Mexican jail.
--->'''Murdoc:''' Prison food is rubbish! I don't think I could ever eat another burrito in my life.\\
'''2D:''' Yeah, but yew still like a bit of Mexican sausage, eh, [[DepravedBisexual Murdoc?]] *snort*\\
'''Murdoc:''' Shut up, you f-
** The band's half-hearted mumbles of agreement when Murdoc asserts that Kong Studios "can't be all that bad."
** Russel describing their absence from Kong Studios.
---> '''Russel:''' (Kong Studios has) been broken into a couple of times since we were away. Some vandal's been spraying Anti-Murdoc graffiti on the walls!\\
'''2D:''' Uh, things like, "Murdoc is a twat", and, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment uh, things like, "Murdoc is a twat" -]]\\
'''Murdoc:''' You mongrel! Still in the mood, aren't you, 'cause Busted split up.
** At one point Murdoc claims that the lines around his eyes are [[IAmBigBoned laughter]] [[BlatantLies lines]]! Russel's response:
--->'''Russel:''' Nothings ''that'' funny!!
* The video for "Hallelujah Money" is for the most part very eerie, with Benjamin Clementine's [[ThousandYardStare creepy stare]], delivery and background projections being the main focus, but the video ends with an increasingly noisy outro seemingly building up to a LastNoteNightmare... [[MoodWhiplash before suddenly cutting out to Benjamin shouting "Hallelujah money!"]] and a clip of [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Spongebob Squarepants comically bursting into tears.]]
* The unsettling music video of "Saturnz Barz (Spirit House)" still contains funny bits:
** Murdoc being [[https://68.media.tumblr.com/941043abb68ee561e889d66784d7d63c/tumblr_inline_onabn8KU4H1r96wo2_540.png oddly hyped]] at the idea of going in [[MundaneMadeAwesome "THE BATH"]].
--->''The camera pans to a tub filled with [[{{Squick}} completely black water]]''
** After the NightmareFuel and weirdness of the video, how does it end?
--->'''Murdoc:''' ...Breakfast?\\
'''Russel:''' Oh yeah. I got a real appetite.\\
'''2D:''' ''(frazzled)'' Just a peppermint tea for me.
*** Even better, if you turn around in the panoramic version of the music video, [[BrickJoke you'll see a beverage with 2-D's name on it.]] Only it's misspelled as 'Toodie'.
* In 2D's new room in the Spirit House, there's a picture of Murdoc [[DartboardOfHate with darts stuck in it]]. Considering [[Main/JerkAss everything Murdoc's done]], fans don't blame 2D at all.
* Some of 2D and Murdoc's interviews and promos (which were [[{{Improv}} heavily improvised]] by Kevin Bishop and Phil Cornwell) feature gold banter:
** In the Amazon music and Spotify announcements, Murdoc inexplicably introduces himself as Rusty Schweickart from Apollo 9 and Ed Mitchell from Apollo 14, respectively. 2D is quick to shut him down:
--->'''2D:''' ''(for Amazon)'' No you're not, he's being facetious and obnoxious.\\
'''2D:''' ''(for Spotify)'' No you're not. Murdoc, you're scaring the kids.
** For a French interview they gave a weather forecast for France.
--->'''2D:''' Yeah, we've got a north-easterly breeze coming in from, uh...\\
'''Murdoc:''' From the Northeast.\\
'''2D:''' Northeast!
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCBnIjTCkE0 This conversation]], which very clearly caught Phil Cornwell off-guard.
--->''(they have been talking about how 2D feeds his cat.)''\\
'''Murdoc:''' Is he alright, now? Did you feed him a little pipette of milk?\\
'''2D:''' No, pipette? No, I gave him, um...I gave him a Kinder egg.\\
'''Murdoc:''' ''([[{{Corpsing}} as his voice actor cracks up]])'' Really? I find that quite funny!
* From the live interview with 2D and Murdoc.
** 2D and Murdoc are asked what happened to the [[CoolCar Geep]] from the "19-2000" video. Murdoc tells Mistajam that the Geep was sold on eBay by someone, who Murdoc and Mistajam both assume is the record company. While the two talk about this, [[TheDogBitesBack 2D proceeds to point to himself.]]
--->'''2D:''' [[BlatantLies I had a pain in my arm.]] Don't worry, carry on.
** The story of when Grace Jones first arrived at the Gorillaz house. Upon arriving, Jones asks 2D to take her handbag. 2D declines because he's carrying two glasses of orange juice, which Jones responds to by [[ComedicSociopathy decking him in the face with said handbag]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ3D7WUDDkA This live performance of DARE, which Shaun Ryder showed up to completely drunk off his ass. If you listen carefully at 43 seconds in you can hear what sounds like Damon yelling "Stop!" In some parts the backing band members can be seen laughing and later on Damon tries taking over for him.]]
** From the song's official music video, 2D, Russel, and Murdoc's confused reactions to the noise coming from Noodle's room are ten times funnier when you realize that Noodle neglected to tell them about the video shoot, [[EnforcedMethodActing meaning their confusion is genuine]].
* For the release of ''Humanz'', [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/682hwf/ama_we_are_the_gorillaz_ask_us_anything/ the band hosted an AMA on Reddit,]] and many of their responses are good for a laugh.
** When asked how the band can revisit their own music as just casual listeners, Murdoc responds by saying he just casually listens to his own genius anyway while in [[MemeticMutation the bath.]]
--->'''Murodc:''' I'm in the bath right now. Better be careful not to drop the computer. [[DontTryThisAtHome Don't try this at home, kids.]]\\
'''[=SlavsWearAdidas=]:''' I don't think you realise the scale of what you've just re-kickstarted.
*** Another fan offered some insight on the topic, posting a ''very'' [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/682hwf/ama_we_are_the_gorillaz_ask_us_anything/dgva4xa/?utm_content=permalink&utm_medium=front&utm_source=reddit&utm_name=Music long story]] about re-listening to his own music, then asking "play a song on repeat 2 thousand times over the course of 4 or 5 months, and tell me if you can still listen to that song or not?"
--->'''[[{{Jerkass}} Murdoc]]:''' [[BrutalHonesty No.]]\\
'''2D:''' Yes. Thanks for typing that long story. You must be very tired. Maybe have a lie down.
** One rather simple question: "What is your most memorable/craziest encounter with a fan?"
--->'''2D:''' A fan once threw me her knickers. They were a bit dirty so I washed them after the show and gave them back to her at the next show. Now she brings her laundry to every show. It's becoming a bit of a burden, especially the hand wash only items. The recent warm weather has made drying easier, though. So I count my blessings.
** Another fan asked 5 relatively short questions in a single post, but Murdoc's response was:
--->'''Murdoc:''' Don't be greedy. [[SilentTreatment For that I'm not gonna answer you. I'm just gotta totally ignore you.]]\\
'''Murdoc:''' [[LateToTheRealization Fuck I]] [[HypocriticalHumor answered you.]]
** On the topic of [[VagueAge Murdoc's age]] and [[DealWithTheDevil his possible connections with demons]]:
--->'''Murdoc:''' 51? That is totally wrong, mate. [[OurZombiesAreDifferent I'm an Immortalist,]] [[TheAgeless which means I live forever.]] I'm not quoting ''Music/{{Oasis}}'', by the way.\\
'''2D:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I'm an Optimist.]]
** In a chain regarding one user and how [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments he and his soon-to-be wife met through Gorillaz,]] another user mentions how "A friend of mine actually uses 'does she like the Gorillaz?' As a parameter for whether a girl is worth dating", and Noodle pipes in:
--->'''Noodle:''' That sounds a little narrow. Try and find out a bit more about them. E.g. is she a zombie or an axe-murderer? That would be a good start. :D
** "Is the band boxers, or briefs type of people?"
--->'''All:''' [[GoingCommando Commando.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzJGWAfmBco The music video to "Sleeping Powder"]] combines 2D's [[StylisticSuck shoddily-mo-capped animation,]] [[DisneyAcidSequence some really trippy backgrounds]] [[DerangedAnimation and video effects]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and some really awkward dancing,]] and the end result is something that's just as hilarious [[QuirkyWork as it is utterly bizarre.]]
* Another Reddit AMA, this time only with 2D for the release of "Sleeping Powder" also has a few great responses:
** "What's the most interesting thing that's happened backstage with the band that fans won't know about?"
--->'''2D:''' I was in my dressing room and I found this little spider on the ceiling. [[FriendToBugs We became pretty good friends.]] But when I came back off stage he was gone. Henry, if you're reading this, please get in touch.
** "How's your relationship with Murdoc these days? I'm surprised you're getting along so well after the events of ''Plastic Beach''".
--->'''2D:''' It's pretty good actually these days. He used to beat me up and torture me loads, but since he got into [[UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}} hardcore S&M]] [[CasualKink he's been beating himself more. So I think we've turned a corner.]]
** "Describe your relationship with each one of your bandmates using one word. Any word."
--->'''2D:''' Noodle: chilled\\
Russel: respectful\\
Murdoc: [[QuietCryForHelp Help]]
** "What exactly does Grace Jones have against orange juice?!"
--->'''2D:''' Nothing at all. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint She likes all colours of juice.]]
** "How did you find the spirit house?"
--->'''2D:''' [[{{Pun}} Ghougle maps.]]\\
'''Walopoh:''' [[LamePunReaction booo]]
** "How many times have u fallen in love?? Cheers."
--->'''2D:''' I fall in love quite often. But due to my poor eyesight, sometimes with the wrong people. The other day I fell in love with a beautiful lady, until someone told me [[BlindMistake it was actually a hatstand.]] [[CompanionCube It was a shame cos our first date was going really well.]] Until they told me at the cinema I wasn't allowed to bring a hat stand in with me.
** "What is your favorite horror movie/zombie film?"
--->'''2D:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/Shrek2 Shrek 2]].''
* From the "Strobelite" video:
** The first thing that happens in the video? A stereotypical trap artist [[note]]Played by none other than ''Humanz'' co-producer and Russel's voice actor, Remi Kabaka,[[/note]] gets [[TakeThat punched in the face with a boxing glove]].
** Murdoc walks up to a bar and sits next to a CampGay man, who then gives him [[MyCard his card]]. Upon reading the card, Murdoc dons an OhCrap expression when he realizes what the card is for. Even better, the next time we see Murdoc, he's grinning at the camera...
*** As an added bonus, that CampGay man? That's [[TheCameo Phil Cornwell]]. Murdoc got hit on ''[[ScrewYourself by his own voice actor]]''.
*** The aforementioned Remi Kabaka getting punched is all that remains of a cut subplot involving him and Russel having a fight. So, the video would have had Russel hitting, and Murdoc getting hit on by their respective voice actors.
** Though he only appears briefly at the beginning, there's something humorous about Russel [[SleepyHead being fast asleep]] [[FunnyBackgroundEvent in the middle of a busy nightclub]].
* Colombians, a track from the Super Deluxe edition of Humanz, is an instrumental track with a sound reminiscent of a window squeaking playing over the majority of it. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26yTHvO_2K0 It has to be heard to be believed]].
* Only someone with as much {{Refuge In Audacity}} as Murdoc Niccals could [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6kETHZION8 make an acceptance speech]] ''as he's being dragged off to prison''.
** Topped only by who the band got to fill for him in his absence. ''[[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Ace.]]''
* The music video for "Humility" has its fair share of laughs:
** For starters, the inexplicable presence of Creator/JackBlack. He's not credited with a guest feature in the song itself, and yet here he is, casually jamming out in Venice Beach along with the rest of the band.
** Noodle getting into a chess match with [[CreatorCameo Remi Kabaka]], with one move prompting an absolutely epic GlassesPull.
** The reveal of Ace, along with his EstablishingCharacterMoment: he catches a basketball during the middle of a game, [[PokeThePoodle then casually sticks a switchblade into it]], much to the annoyance of the players.
** Interspersed within shots of the local scenery is a shot of a guy sitting with a stand with a hand-drawn sign for "SUPER SHITTY ADVICE on any topics $1.00."
** [[PokeThePoodle Russel inexplicably tripping 2D at the end of the video]]. Note not only 2D's eyes [[MonochromaticEyes shifting back from white to black]], but the fact his skating ends up becoming ''much'' clumsier afterwards.
* As part of the storyline for ''The Now Now'', a petition was started on the Gorillaz website for the [=#FreeMurdoc=] movement. Fans who had grown tired of Murdoc's abuse of the band however had... [[https://www.change.org/p/gorillaz-keep-murdoc-in-jail other ideas.]]
-->'''William G.:''' Murdoc Niccals is one of the least influential celebrities of the century. Locking him away will result in a flourish in the music industry and overall popularity and quality of Gorillaz. He needs to stay in jail.
* Russel's goofy face during the Tranz music video.
* The first Machine Bitez promoting "Momentary Bliss" includes this golden exchange about 2D bringing slowthai and Slaves into the studio:
-->'''Murdoc:''' And you just brought him right on I mean you got his background?\\
'''2D:''' I don't know his background, no, no.\\
'''Russel:''' You know his foreground?\\
'''2D:''' I know his foreground, it's very clear, his foreground's very clear, his background's a bit hazy.
* Russel's commentary on the creation and meaning of their song "Désolé:"
-->'''Russel:''' Making 'Désolé' with Fatou was a real moment for me, you know, […] She's an African Queen. This lady made the song what it is, beautiful, like life. What can I say about 'Désolé'? They say sorry is the hardest word, but that's not true… [[{{Metaphorgotten}} Try saying antidisestablishmentarianism with a mouth full of gluten-free cronuts on a speed boat without licking your lips.]]
* The picture of Murdoc Niccals as a kid in ''Rise of the Ogre.'' That ''hair...''
* During an interview, Murdoc brings up the time he had sex with the band's first guitarist Paula Cracker in the Kong Studios bathroom. 2D goes ''[[BerserkButton ballistic.]]''
* The Machine Bitez accompanying "The Pink Phantom" features a discussion about Elton John and 6LACK:
-->'''2D:''' You kept calling him "Six-Black."\\
'''Murdoc:''' I know...\\
'''2D:''' It's pronounced "Black."\\
'''Murdoc:''' I know...\\
'''2D:''' You even said it to his face when we met him!\\
'''Murdoc:''' I know. [[BlatantLies I was having]] [[JustJokingJustification a joke!]]\\
'''2D:''' [[OverlyLongGag It went on for days!]]\\
'''Murdoc:''' Yeah... I do tend to milk it a bit...
* Murdoc's random appearances throughout "The Pink Phantom" music video as he attempts to capture the titular phantom, [[MoodWhiplash especially because the song itself is rather serious.]] Made even better [[UnfazedEveryman because none of the other artists have]] ''[[UnfazedEveryman any reaction to it.]]''
** [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment The ending,]] [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext where Murdoc pops in, gleefully shouting "It's me!" while dressed in full Mariachi garb and holding an acoustic guitar—that he promptly manages to snap the strings on as soon as he strums it.]] His irritated expression once he realizes what's happened only serves to make it all the more hilarious.
** In Machine Bitez #16, Murdoc describes his failed attempts to capture the ghost throughout the music video.
--->'''Murdoc:''' Ahhhh... The Pink Phantom, don't even talk to me about that. Hang on, I gotta get that [[CurseCutShort mother–]]\\
'''Russel:''' But how you gonna chop him down when he an ethereal being?\\
'''Murdoc:''' [[ImprobableWeaponUser I– I got a butterfly net.]]
* Machine Bitez #17 has them discussing the title of "Valley of the Pagans", and what the meaning could be about. It quickly becomes {{Metaphorgotten}} as end up talking about Christmas instead.
-->'''Noodle:''' It means that God is in everything and at the same time... nowhere!\\
'''Russel:''' Omnipresent! That's the best kind of presence to have. [[{{Pun}} Whatcha want for Christmas?]]\\
'''2D:''' [[LampshadeHanging Well, there's no Christmas presents if you're a pagan.]]\\
'''Russel:''' Dang, you're right. You're right...
* Murdoc and Russel's panicked reactions [[DrivesLikeCrazy to Noodle]] driving the band through [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV Los Santos]] in the music video for "Valley of the Pagans." Understandable, considering the first thing she does after being launched out of the portal that brought them there is to ''crash the car they're in.''
** [[DissonantSerenity 2-D's unchanging, even outright]] ''[[DissonantSerenity cheery]]'' [[DissonantSerenity demeanor throughout the video,]] especially as the rest of the band gets progressively more and more freaked out as the video goes on. Hell, the fact that 2D is enjoying something that Murdoc is terrified by is an ironic role reversal that one wouldn't expect to ''ever'' see.
* The Gorillaz Almanac features a two-page spread of a text conversation between the band in the last minutes before recording Desolé began, detailing Russel being bothered by a bat while in the kitchen. It takes a good while to solve the problem, with Noodle growing more and more exasperated until 2D finally rescues the bat... [[HereWeGoAgain only for Russel to head right back to the kitchen a mere minute later]].
-->'''Noodle:''' KILL ME
* In the Cracker Island video, in spite of how scared and frustrated she clearly was, when 2D looked at her, Noodle still sang back-up. Even funnier when you realize [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness 2D was hallucinating]] Music/{{Thundercat}} so in reality there was no music or backup vocals. Just him high as shit, bellowing it out in the middle of a waiting room. When he looked at her, she obviously knew how awkward it would be if she joined in but she did anyway.
* We end up getting some interesting insights into the band during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9pYDR5MIQw Murdoc's interview with]] WebVideo/TheNeedleDrop. In particular, Murdoc explains that the fastest way to get to Cracker Island is by jetski, compares Gorillaz to a ship with the various members as its crewmates (while comparing 2D to a single oar), and admits that he considers "anything with a martini" to be a depression meal.
