History Funny / CowboyBebop

** Spike pulling out various remedies for Jet's injury, [[IfItTastesBadItMustBeGoodForYou each more disgusting than the next]]:

* The look on his face after incinerating 90% of the cigarette seems to just say "and now ''this.''" It's like a visual "anything else want to go wrong today?"
* And after he burns this cigarette to a crisp, he goes back into the toxic gas-filled chamber to [[CrossesTheLineTwice retrieve the rest of the cigarettes that he had dropped in there.]]

''Anime/CowboyBebop'' had several moments when not being made of awesome, but for pure, silent character comedy, nothing tops Spike attempting and failing to light his cigarette ''with a flamethrower'' in the episode ''Toys in the Attic''.

* On the way up the elevator in ''Honky Tonk Women'' Spike starts smoking. Jet taps the 'no smoking' sign... and Spike eats the cigarette. When they get to the casino proper, he then [[ChekovsSkill retches it up and spits it into an ashtray.]]

* The LaughablyEvil researchers doing illegal experimentation on Ein in ''Stray Dog Strut''. The leader is a subdued LargeHam, dramatically declaring they'll have to use the "Dog Whistle." Not even a minute later:

* Plus about the only notable thing the other researcher next to him says in a disinterested tone, time and time again while the leader pretty much spouts exposition about their plans?

** In the same episode, Spike's bounty target Abdul Hakeem--who stole Ein in the first place, bringing the evil researchers into the plot--makes his way to the episode's climax by hijacking the car that a married couple are about to drive off to their honeymoon in. The groom tries to ask him what he's doing [[CrossesTheLineTwice and Hakeem just punches the guy in the face without even looking]] and drives off.

* Pretty much all of ''Cowboy Funk''.

* ''Pierrot le Fou'',

*** The food itself is rather ridiculous when you pay attention. For starters, it's called [[StylisticSuck "Cowboy Andy's Son Of a Gun Stew!"]] And then there's the ''stew'' part: It's just broth with three or four tiny bits of meat and shriveled veggies floating around. Calling it ''soup'' would be generous, ''if'' you were [[Series/ArrestedDevelopment Carl Weathers]].
* ''Speak Like A Child'' is one of the greatest [[{{Shaggy Dog Story}} Shaggy Dog Stories]] ever: after a dangerous and arduous quest to get an appropriate tape player to view a Beta([[LawyerFriendlyCameo ish]]) cassette which could contain the answers about Faye's past, it turns out they snatched a VHS player instead. Then a Beta player arrives in the mail anyway.
** More specifically, when Spike and Jet take the cassette to an absolute nut job of an old movie fan, which would be funny enough. When the video doesn't work however Spike kicks the video player, destroying it in the process and absolutely freaking out the store owner. Even better, after the first few times Spike starts kicking the VCR, Jet tells him that kicking it won't help. Spike ignores him ''and continues kicking'' until after it breaks, upon which Jet's words finally register to him.

* The episode that became the TropeNamer for MushroomSamba? Especially that bit with the coffin being run over by a truck.

* When Rocco realizes he's standing next to Piccaro ''while he's peeing in the bathroom''. Then Piccaro's henchmen show up, claiming that they lost Rocco.
** In the same episode; Faye is looking for Piccaro and has a lead. She busts down the door of the apartment of the guy with said lead, and, without skipping a beat, says "I want to know where Piccaro is, a quick answer would be nice." While shoving her gun into his mouth. While he's in bed with and very much on top of his male lover. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Bit of a double meaning there,]] and this is followed up with a second chuckle when he tries to mumble the answer out while her gun is ''still in his mouth,'' only for Faye to say, "What was that?" with a confused look on her face.

* Jet and Ed pretending to be father and daughter (the latter wearing an adorable pink dress) while trying to get information on a hospital patient. The only thing funnier than Jet's sob story getting the guard in tears, is Ed constantly clinging to Jet while cheering "Papa!"

* In ''Brain Scratch'', the "bimbo" co-host's [[BigWhat reaction]] to abruptly learning, on-air, that her bounty-hunter program has been canceled. She ends up ditching her SouthernBelle accent in rage.

* From ''Pierrot le Fou'', when Faye is trying to read the message on the screen that Ed is carrying around on her head, she has to lift Ed off the floor by the head to stop her from continually moving the screen around; and then, while Faye's reading the message, Ed's still swinging from side to side and waving her arms.

* The episode ''Brain Scratch'' is pure gold; first, the look on Spike and Jet's faces when they spot Faye on TV. Second, when Spike tries to use beer as a substitute for milk on cereal.

* On the way up the elevator in ''Honky Tonk Women'' Spike starts smoking. Jet taps the 'no smoking' sign... and Spike eats the cigarette.

* Faye telling Ein that she gets food priority over him because women like her are delicate and require pampering... immediately before devouring a can of dog food in seconds and chucking it behind her.

* In the preview for Wild Horses, Spike is complaining about always doing the previews and wanting someone else to do it instead. Cue Ein hopping in and telling us what happens next with his barks and howls.

* In ''Brain Scratch'', the "bimbo" co-host's [[BigWhat reaction]] to abruptly learning, on-air, that her bounty-hunter program has been canceled.

--->'''Spike:''' I'm checking the files for some similar toxins. Cryptosporidium?...No, that's not it. Cholera? ''[[ReactionShot (Jet winces)]]'' Nope, it's not that. ''(Jet sighs in relief)'' Ebola virus? ''[[ReactionShot (Jet winces again)]]'' Nope.

--->So that's the story. And what was the ''real'' lesson? Don't leave [[ItCameFromTheFridge things in the fridge]].

** Even funnier - after he burns this cigarette to a crisp, he goes back into the toxic gas-filled chamber to [[CrossesTheLineTwice retrieve the rest of the cigarettes that he had dropped in there.]]

** And during the Coming Attractions, Ed has a great one, sadly informing the audience that the rest of the cast have died, and then cheerfully declaring that, not to worry, she'll be continuing the series as "Cowgirl Ed!" Spike, Jet, and Faye immediately break in to object to being written off as dead and the show being changed.

* Spike pulling out various remedies for Jet's injury in ''Toys in the Attic'', [[IfItTastesBadItMustBeGoodForYou each more disgusting than the next]]:
-->'''Jet:''' Don't you have any real medicine that's just for sores and wounds?
-->'''Spike:''' That would be this. ''(Holds up a dried-out lizard)''
-->'''Jet:''' Ugh! That heals wounds?
-->'''Spike:''' Yep. Squish it up and boil it in three cups of water, and when it turns green and goopy, you drink it.
-->'''Jet:''' Spike, isn't there something more, you know...different?
-->'''Spike:''' Oh yeah, I got it.
-->'''Jet:''' Yeah, gimme that! ''(Spike holds up a dried-up scorpion)'' Ugh! I'll take the other thing.
** Spike running a cross-check of viruses on the Bebop's computer to see what might have infected Jet:
--->'''Spike:''' I'm checking the files for some similar toxins. Cryptosporidium?...No, that's not it. Cholera? ''[[ReactionShot (Jet winces)]]'' Nope, it's not that. ''(Jet sighs in relief)'' Ebola virus? ''[[ReactionShot (Jet winces again)]]'' Nope.

-->'''Spike:''' So tell me, Jet, WHY DO WE HAVE ALL THREE OF THEM NEATLY GATHERED IN OUR SHIP?!

--->'''Guard:''' She's an unusual child. Is she a girl?
