* A little later in the scene, Felicity notes that the purchase of UNIDAC was around the same time she and Ollie first met. The way she says it almost sounds like a perky subtle "You know, when our relationship first started. Nudge nudge wink wink."
* Needing direct access to Merlyn's mainframe in his office building to find some info, Team Green Arrow sneak Felicity into the building, providing cover. Once she's finished and leaves, she runs smack dab into an unexpected security guard and Ollie's too distracted to help. Enter Diggle who's posing as a security guard.

* Ray gets Felicity to sign some "corporate stuff" before she leaves for Nanda Parbat. She [[IdiotBall doesn't see]] that the front page proclaims a transfer of ownership of Palmer Technologies to her. The kicker is that signing corporate papers without giving their contents even a cursory glance is ''exactly'' why [[RichIdiotWithNoDayJob Oliver]] lost the same company about a year ago.

* It's a quick moment, but after Barry runs him and Oliver to talk to Cayden James, Diggle is bent over, and viewers can imagine that he's desperately repressing the urge to vomit.



After the fighting, Felicity is complaining to John about Curtis hacking their prototype(instead of complaining about him hurting John).

** Barry's entire appearance, period. The part where [[BadLiar he tries to play off of his awareness of Oliver Queen's identity as the Green Arrow]] is so incredibly bad that it makes you wonder for a brief second if he’s gonna follow Oliver’s lead and admit he’s The Flash.

** An interview from Diggle in 2012 has him tell the crew that Oliver is not The Hood and is no type of hero. In the present Diggle (who was watching the said interview on a laptop) points out that that particular comment ''did not'' age well with time. More humorous when you remember the brief RunningGag in early of season one when Oliver would easily ditch Diggle to become The Hood. It’s likely that this was Diggle venting his frustration.

* [[http://twitter.yfrog.com/097wfbezwzkknqgengdebxboz?sa=0 Not only is Barrowman's singing really...special, but this was filmed in the "green room" and we can see Colton Haynes taking a leak! In the presence of Barrowman, Willa Holland and Emily Bett Rickards. Who filmed everything.
* Colin Donnell's girlfriend, Zelda Williams, made a gallows-humor [[http://instagram.com/p/ZW-zNZAjoR/# tribute]] to Tommy's death.
* Colin Donnell's parody of [[http://youtu.be/4yoq_P239Jk "Someone To Watch Over Me"]] at the ''Arrow'' Christmas party is gold.
* Oh, dear, the Season One bloopers. From fart noises being dubbed into a date between Thea and Roy to Stephen and Katie falling off the bed during a steamy make-out session, but one scene that sticks out [[http://youtu.be/QnPWdg3JwSA?t=2m7s is Barrowman breaking out his Scottish accent, completely out of the blue.]] Even in the gag reel, the OnceAnEpisode shirtless scene lives! And no, it wasn't a blooper where Stephen happened to be shirtless, it was just another gratuitous ShirtlessScene.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtWm6dfO33c John Barrowman's one condition]] for accepting his role.
* The cross promo for ''The Flash''. Oliver attempts to shoot at a target from far away only for Barry to suddenly come up long behind him and catch it mere seconds before it hits.
-->'''Oliver:''' Showoff.
** And to make it better, Oliver then primes ''three'' arrows at once not ten seconds later. [[HypocriticalHumour You were saying?]]
* From the season 2 gag reel, the scene from "Deathstroke" where Slade suits up. After putting on his helmet, he stands there as the epic music blares...[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments before breaking out into a dance number.]]
** Though a distant second to the "Dancestroke" number, Kevin Alejandro doing a... [[AcceptableTargets rather accurate impersonation of a politician]] is still pretty funny.
** And of course, the fact that the producers still put in gratuitous Fanservice shots, even if this year everyone gets something to please them, and one of those shots deserve to be there, since they show Caity Lotz failing Sally the Salmon Ladder.
** Caity Lotz in general in the gag reel; that girl falls over a ''lot''.

** Amell's [[https://twitter.com/amellywood/status/542857382892560384 shout-out]] to Creator/PedroPascal. Both lost their respective trial.
* Stephen Amell's [[https://twitter.com/amellywood/status/584414389542916097 Easter tweet]] takes an awesome yet unexpected twist.
* After the tragedy of Deadshot's death, [[https://twitter.com/amellywood/status/581614295189835776 Stephen Amell tributes him the only way he knows how]]. Doubles as heartwarming.
* From [[https://instagram.com/p/2G2HJOBs8-/ Katrina Law's Instagram]] after "Al Sah-him" aired.
** And [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BBokFAmBswk/ again]] after "Sins of the Father."
* Polaris LORE [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LEiUvJgqOM recaps the lore of Arrow]]
* In ''Series/TheFlash2014'', Deadshot's Earth-2 doppelganger being the exact opposite of his usual Arrowverse self is hilarious; he is a police officer who can't load his gun without dropping the bullets and can't hit a stationary target from less than ten feet away despite firing every bullet in his gun.
* Some of the fan backlash can be rather hilarious.
** On Stephen Amell's Facebook page, there was this exchange, when he asked for fan suggestions regarding his WWE appearances:
--->'''Stephen Amell:''' Facebook! Let's say - hypothetically - that I had been considering a finishing move for the WWE. The move will remain a mystery, but it needs a name. I have faith in you. Go!
---> '''Tom Binning:''' [[TakeThat The Arrow Season 3 because it ends any desire for participants to continue.]]
---> '''Stephen Amell:''' [[KickTheDog Tom. C'mon.]]
** There's also the moderators of Reddit's r/Arrow community getting so angry about Season 4 finale [[RageQuit that they officially remade it into a]] ''{{Series/Daredevil 2015}}'' [[RageQuit subreddit]].
--->[[https://www.reddit.com/r/arrow/comments/4l2ym3/daredevil_discussion_thread_s01e01_into_the_ring/ Arrow has burned me for the last fucking time{.}]]
** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/arrow/comments/504lsd/shitpost_literally_an_image_of_the_cast_of/ Behold]], the DespairEventHorizon. For further hilarity, it's still the top upvoted post of ''all time'' on the sub.
** They did it ''again'' after the infamous ending to ''Series/CrisisOnEarthX''. /r/Arrow almost near unanimously voted to turn their subreddit into one for ''Series/ThePunisher2017'' right afterwards, and a picture of Frank Castle is now the ''second'' most upvoted post of all time on /r/Arrow. After that is a picture of a ''literal'' green arrow (as in, a picture of an arrow colored green), the episode discussion post for the first episode of ''Series/Daredevil2015'', and, perhaps the most damning of all, a picture of the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' cartoon (which has a notorious hatedom).
*** When /r/Arrow inevitably did turn back into an ''Arrow'' subreddit a few weeks later, the mods point blank stated it wasn't because they liked ''Arrow'' again so much as the fact that the memes for ''The Punisher'' weren't (and these were their ExactWords) "dank enough". So basically, they became an ''Arrow'' subreddit again because ''Arrow'' was easier to lampoon and mock.

Both Oliver and Kara have far more popular ships. Several non canon ones (Laurel for Oliver and Lena for Kara for examples) are far more popular. However, so are the canon ones on Felicity and Mon-El. Thus Oliver/Kara can't be a Fan Preferred Couple, as that requires something to be more popular then a characters canon one. Per the FPC thread.


** The mere fact that the fandom began joking pairing Oliver with [[CrackPairing Supergirl]] as a means of protest [[GoneHorriblyRight only for Felicity to become so hated]] [[BecomingTheMask it became a legitimate]] FanPreferredCouple. Even funnier now, given [[AscendedFanon Dark Arrow and Overgirl.]]

to:

* Just Oliver's expression when, just like seven years earlier, the Earth-2 version of his mother has hired Earth-2 Diggle to be his bodyguard. But even better is when Oliver tries to pull the same "escape from the back of the car" trick he did in the series premiere, only to find the door locked. Cue Diggle (as in ''Earth-1'' Diggle) smugly telling Oliver off for thinking he'd fall for that twice.

And this is apparently how Waller treats people she ''likes''.
