Funny / The Amelia Project

Moments pages are Spoilers Off. You have been warned.

Season One

Luke Dougal

• The client tries to introduce himself to the Interviewer by just saying "Hell", the name of his horrific theme park. The Interviewer excitedly thinks he's saying he's Satan. Later, Dougal tells him about the park's disgusting novelty ice cream flavors, like mushy peas and pickled onion.
  Interviewer: Are you sure you're not Satan?

Season Five

Marie Antoinette

• The birth of the client's apocryphal immortal words:
  Marie: People are starving!
  Arthur: Are they?
  Marie: They don't have bread!
  Arthur: Then let them eat cake!
  [Beat]
  Marie: [puzzled/frustrated] They don't have cake either.
  Arthur: [Gasp!] That's a travesty!

The Man with Many Tattoos

• When Cole calls Haines, who is hiding in the trunk ("boot") of Jackie, Mia and Kozlowski's car while they are driving it:
  Cole: Where the fuck are you?
  Haines: [in hush tone] I'm in the boot.
  Cole: In a boot? What are you, a garden gnome?!
• Cole's surprisingly successful ploy to distract Jackie, Mia and Kozlowski by putting on a couple of fake mustaches and acting like a cowboy, even making up a country song on the fly while Haines slips away and then quickly driving off when he's safe. Jackie, Mia and Kozlowski are all left utterly perplexed about what just happened.

Specials

Andy Spark

• While Andy reads his poem about extinction, which is just him saying "tick, tick, tick" over and over, his actor breaks character to welcome in people coming in to the live performance late and saying the whole show is like that.

Twelve Deaths of Christmas

• The fake death of "Day 5", death by mulled wine, involves drugging Cuthbert Hollingworth with LSD and having Arthur, Joey and Salvatore appear in color-changing snowman costumes while singing a mashup of "Insane in the Brain" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer".
• In "Day 8", Amelia wakes up hungover from last night's New Year's celebration and spends the whole episode thinking she's dreaming or hallucinating when she comes across the eight maids a-milking and their cows.
• The utter clusterfuck of "Day 11", when the office has become so noisy since the eleven pipers piping joined the cacophony of animal sounds and ladies dancing that the Amelia team members all accidentally try to enact a fake death at the same time. Highlights include:
  • Kozlowski in a hazmat suit and a plague doctor mask
  • Joey and Salvatore's neo-funk musical Nativity play
  • Amelia trying to do a death by bicycle involving a Tour de France practice team; even she admits it wasn't the best way to do that
