  • After a long time of being The Quiet One, Big E's hilariously awkward (first?) promo on RAW not long after his debut - in which he channels (or attempts to channel) Triple H and sets up with his now immortal, "OH I GOT THE MIC NOW" - definitely qualifies. Explaining it doesn't quite do justice to its awkwardness - just type the line into YouTube's search engine and watch for yourself.
    • It's even more hilarious years later on a rewatch when you realize that he wasn't going over the top due to nervousness - in fact, he was toning himself down.
  • Big E's Twitter account - but especially his running repartees with Dolph Ziggler, A.J. Lee, and Kaitlyn, which tend to be chock full of witty exchanges and Continuity Nods.
  • He tricked Vickie Guerrero into putting him into the main event match after The Miz was taken out by The Wyatt Family. When she wants to talk to Triple H about it, he says "Aren't you the Smackdown general manager? Or did I walk into the office of Brad Maddox?"
  • After successfully retaining his Intercontinental Championship against Curtis Axel at Survivor Series 2013 in Boston, he was interviewed in the ring by Renee Young, and he stated that, "It's great to be here in Boston (crowd cheers), and I don't mean to pander to the crowd here...in Boston (crowd cheers), but me defending the Intercontinental Title here feels like DAVID ORTIZ WINNING THE WORLD SERIES! (crowd goes crazy)
  • Him and Sheamus appearing in a K Mart commercial and jokingly argue about whose stuff is better.
  • You may need the WWE Network to watch it, but Big E's press conference reaction to his loss at Extreme Rules is pretty hilarious.
  • His Eagleland promo in his match against Rusev at Money in the Bank.
  • Big E No Selling a bucket that gets bounced off his head. He barely flinches, and then just has this look of 'Did you seriously just throw a bucket at my head?'
    • He has much the same reaction to Ric Flair throwing his jacket at him and getting knife-edge chopped.
  • He gets a Kick the Dog moment played for laughs when he takes Teddy Long's cheeseburger and eats it in front of him.
  • A vast majority of anytime he holds a microphone up to his mouth in The New Day.
  • When he was down with an injury in May 2019, his Twitter went from hilarious to straight-up comedic gold. The crowner has to go to his, um, deep and abiding appreciation of Becky Lynch's mama.
  • In the Escape the Undertaker Netflix film, Big E goes to a room where there are three World Championship belts — Undertaker 30th Anniversary belt, the original World Heavyweight Belt and Steve Austin's Smoking Skull belt — displayed. His only remark is that "he needs one of these" which is much more hilarious cause he obtained one weeks before the film debuted!
  • His further work online is absolute gold; when asked on the New Day's podcast about his dream match, the rest of the gang can barely keep themselves together as he creates the preamble to his reveal that his dream match is himself vs. Goldberg...and his dream tag team match is himself, Goldberg...and two other Goldbergs. His rationale is something else:
    Big E, audibly Corpsing: That's right! I don't wanna hear any of you talkin' about no Workrate! And how guys are in the ring, and Moonsaults! I don't care about any of that, y'heard? Y'all wanna great match? Nah. Bump that. I wanna see...TWO MEN...WITH BIG CHESTS...AND BIG MUSCLES...BUMPIN' MEAT.
    The rest of the podcast: (doubled over in laughter, including Xavier pleading for mercy)
    Big E: That's why I'm here. That's why I watched wrestling as a kid. You want your five star matches? You want your thirty minute classics? Not me. BIG MEATY MEN SLAPPIN' MEAT. That's what I want.
    • On a later Podcast when the New Day were voting on what they thought the best TV Show of all time was. When they got to The Wire vs Law & Order Big E was seconds away from voting for The Wire when Xavier mentioned The SVU episode Goldberg appeared on. Despite having never seen the episode in question, Xavier's summary was enough to get him on the literal edge of his seat and to change his entire vote just because Goldberg was on the show for five minutes.
      Kofi: You had your entire vote locked in! The Wire!
      Big E: Yes.
      Kofi: And based on this story you're just going to change your vote immeditely?
      Big E: Yes. It was a great story, great story. Vivid. I could see it in my mind.
