Although the show is Darker and Edgier compared to most Gerry Anderson shows, it's not without a humorous moment here and there.
- "White as Snow" really shouldn't be as funny as it is, considering that Colonel White is the main target of the Mysterons, he and Captain Scarlet butt heads over a particularly serious issue, and the Mysteron agents of the episode had their originals killed in some pretty nasty ways. And yet despite all of this, it's easily the funniest episode of the series.
- The start involves Scarlet putting his feet on Colonel White's desk.
- Colonel White wants Scarlet to take command while he's away, but Scarlet refuses due to still being angry over White's order to destroy a satellite on a collision course with Cloudbase despite it being unconfirmed at the time as a Mysteron reconstruction. As a result, Captain Blue takes command and proceeds to make the most of his time; ordering repeated training exercises for the Angels and lectures from Doctor Fawn.
- Later on as the Colonel and the navy submariners stand over Scarlet after his battle with the Mysteron agent.Submariner: Sir, I don't think you appreciate that the man is dead.
Colonel White: That's no excuse! Striking a superior officer, binding and gagging! Why I never in all my born years!' - Once they get back to Cloudbase, White asks Scarlet how he found him. Lieutenant Green sheepishly points out that while White did order him to keep his location a secret, Scarlet pulled rank on him.
- And his punishment for all of this insubordination? Sentenced to death. White immediately points out that Scarlet being indestructible and all, there's little point in arranging the formality of a firing squad and dismisses him.
- Operation Time: Dr. Magnus has just found out that he killed Captain Scarlet instead of General Tiempo and then Colonel White announces that he's under arrest. How does he start his escape?Dr. Magnus:(In a panicky voice) Look Out! (Chucks the operating table at Dr. Fawn)
- In "Lunarville 7", the Lunar Controller and his assistant Orson, now Mysteron agents, are bugging Scarlet's, Blue's and Green's conversion in the guest suite on the Lunar station. Scarlet suspects as much and discovers a microphone in their room, urging Blue and Green to keep quiet for bit. Orson, who is listening in, suddenly can't hear anything and turns up the volume...Captain Scarlet: GOODNIGHT, ORSON!
Orson: AAAAH! - During "Crater 101":Lieutenant Green: Do I get a coconut?Captain Scarlet: If we ever get out of this, Lieutenant, I'll buy you all the coconuts you can eat.
- In "Flight to Atlantica", when SPECTRUM is celebrating its first anniversary, the Mysterons drug their bottle of champagne, which all but Scarlet and Colonel White drink. The following day, during their mission to protect the World Navy Complex at Atlantica, the effects of the champagne come forth as most of Cloudbase falls into a dream-like state, resulting in the Angels flying off course and the Captains spouting gems such as:Captain Ochre: We have a green light! Yippieee!
- During the otherwise grim "Attack On Cloudbase", we have this exchange between Colonel White and Captain Scarlet:White: Oh, er, Captain Scarlet?
Scarlet: Yes sir?
White: Captain.. If... ever we do get out of this alive..
Scarlet: Sir?
(Beat)
White: Get your hair cut, will you?- In the same episode, Colonel White's increasing exasperation verging on quiet fury with Captain Magenta's constant updates on the number of Mysteron ships approaching Cloudbase - not helped by Magenta's apparent astonishment at his own ability to count to twenty-five.
