  • Anyof the blooper reels. The entire cast seems to love competing to see who can make the other corpse first and comparing the utterly ridiculous things the actors say coming out from those characters's mouthes.
  • Boris shows his particular sense of humor in "Spasticity". As Hank persuades Boris into letting him coordinate the research of all the experts Boris has seen, Hank calls it playing Boris's "medical quarterback". At the end of the episode, as Boris is leaving in a car, Hank goes to confirm Boris's agreement, which he reaffirms. Then tosses Hank a football with nothing other than a "bye".
    • When Marisa asks why Boris is bringing his personal doctor in for simple medical follow-ups in her clinical trial, Boris refers to him as such.
  • "Pit Stop": Jill is staying in Hank's room (he's on the couch). Emily comes back unexpectedly. Hank is woken up, sees her going into his room...
    Hank: Oh my... No no no no no no...
    • And gets there just in time for twin shrieks.
    Emily: What are you doing here?!
    Jill: Well not what you were going to be doing, I'll tell you that!!
    • Then Evan shows up.
    Evan: What the hell is...Dude! (*Goes for "up high"*)
    Jill: (Death Glare) Don't even think about it.
  • While "The Hankover" is a very funny episode, the best part is the misdirection about Raj. Evan wakes up thinking he pushed him off the balcony and killed him; there's blood around his head. After the long flashback, Hank rushes over to check on him... and finds out that the "blood" is actually Bloody Mary and he's just fine. Evan's version of the push and the reality of it with Evan's drunk stumbling is an adjunct CMOF.
    • The episode ends with the gang watching a video of a drunk Evan trying to pole dance.
  • Meeting an actor who plays a doctor on a medical show, Hank is asked his opinion of the show. In a truly meta bit, Hank says that he and fellow doctors watch medical shows just to mock "how much they get wrong."
  • "Dawn of the Medicine" has plenty of moments. Convinced their patient is a mad scientist who ran a bioterrorism lab, Evan leans in and whispers to Jeremiah to test for mad cow disease, calling the guy "the real Mr. Moreau". It leads to an incredibly awkward moment when the patient angrily says it isn't his hearing that needs testing. Evan realizes he said all this about two feet away from the patient.
  • "Pregnant Paws": During the staff meeting Divya tries to bring up the news of her pregnancy, but keeps getting interrupted. When it adjourns, Jeremiah stands straight up and says without thinking:
    Jeremiah: Wait! Divya's trying to tell you she's pregnant.
  • "All In The Family": with the introduction of Divya's new baby, Jermiah has not had a moment of peace. He finally reaches his limit following a stressful morning and promptly goes into a closet to scream into a pillow.
  • "Steaks on a Plane: Getting Hank caught up in another of his outrageous schemes, Boris apologizes to Hank while the two walk alone on an empty beach; having caused him to commit a questionable act as a doctor. Hank reassures Boris he actually enjoys being involved in Boris's affairs, with a few exceptions...
    Hank: And to be honest, I've enjoyed helping you in your work. Minus the kidnapping and the handcuffs. Getting drugged and shoved in the back of a limo in Budapest was-
    Boris: Yeah, yeah, I understand.
  • Hank's crazy-ass season 7 premiere dream, with Hank suddenly in his scrubs thrown into an ER disaster involving a motorcade crashing into a basketball game. Divya, with Sashi strapped to her, pulls him away from beginning a thoracotomy in order to perform the heimlich on a woman, who spits out an engagement ring (that Hank studies closely), then is drawn away from upon hearing Paige's voice from a hospital bed. Hank pulls back the curtain to see Paige doing chest compressions while straddling Evan, who has a miniature flag speared straight through his chin out the top of his head. According to Paige, it was Evan trying to talk his way into the motorcade that caused the crash in the first place. Hank's frustrated response? "Really, Evan? Again?!". It truly must be seen.
  • "Lama Trauma" Hank requires Boris's assistance in an emergency surgery that he's never performed before. Needing Boris as his second pair of hands, the only way for Hank to describe a vital part of the procedure is comparing it to jump-starting a car. Boris head shoots up with an expression screaming "are you kidding me?!". He takes offense though at Hank's assumption that he's never done so before, and how he could possibly doubt Boris's ability to do such a simple task. However he back-pedals a bit.
    Hank: You've never jump-started a car.
    Boris: Of course I have. It's just...been awhile
