• Avon's vicious snark is always funny.
  Vila: When you get Zen [the computer] working, ask him to prescribe something for a headache, will you? I've got this shocking pain right behind the eyes.
  Avon: Have you considered amputation?
  • Not to mention:
  Blake: Does it support any intelligent life?
  Avon: Does the Liberator?
  • And:
  Jenna: I thought they [alien plants] died if they left the planet?
  Cally: No. You have to talk to them.
  Avon: That's like talking to Vila. A complete waste of time.

  Vila: What've I done to deserve this?
  Avon: How long a list would you like?

  Gan: Can't find Orac [a computer]. Even tried calling his name.
  Avon: Oh, I'm sorry I missed that. That's the kind of natural stupidity no amount of training could ever hope to match.
• Vila is also the source of many a Funny Moment.
  Avon: I told you. He's a friend of mine.
  Vila: Yes, I always knew you had a friend. I used to say to people: "I bet Avon's got a friend, somewhere in the galaxy."
  Avon: And you were right. That must be a novel experience for you.

  Cally: He fears death?
  Vila: I plan to live forever! Or die trying.
• WHERE IS ORAC?
• Cally and Jenna creating a distraction in a spaceport bar by staging a Cat Fight. Funnier because those two characters usually stay out of the power-jockeying aboard the ship.
  • In the same episode Vila and Avon, just back from busting the Freedom City casino, are still wearing their guns and teleport bracelets when Blake & co. come up to the ship, so their nonchalant act is hilariously unconvincing.
• Servalan's pleased little smirk at the end of "Weapon" after hearing Carnell's taped farewell: "You are by far the sexiest Supreme Commander it has ever been my pleasure to work with."
• Meegat, the naïve young woman from "Deliverance" who becomes convinced Avon is a god and keeps prostrating herself at his feet. Avon, Vila and Gan's expressions as she zips up and down are priceless.
  Gan: Well, she seems to be on our side.
  Vila: Yes, but the poor woman's insane.
  Avon: Not necessarily.
