Funny / The Outpost

Go To

  • Garret being infected by a plagueling, chaining himself up in Janzo's cellar to avoid hurting anyone else? Tragic. Garret passing the time that Janzo's gone by drowning himself in ale and getting absolutely wasted by the time he and Talon return? Hilarious.
  • After Talon, Garret, and Janzo are captured by grayskins, they soon realize they're going to be eaten alive. Janzo begins panicking and lamenting all the things he hasn't yet done in life, which is amusing enough on its own, but when he mentions that he's never been with a woman, Talon and Garret both stop their own panicking for a moment to express their surprise at this revelation.
  • The antics of Baron Tobin drive Gwyn up the wall. At one point he tries to woo her with a present... of a see-through nightgown for their "wedding night". Naturally she takes great offense to this and tells him that he just set his chances to marry her back significantly, leaving him genuinely confused to why a royal heir would refuse a lewd gift. Capped off as he's leaving when he pauses and offers the nightgown to Naya, just before Gwyn shouts for him to leave.
  • When Garret returns to the Outpost unexpectedly and whisks a dumbfounded Gwyn away, everyone is left completely flabbergasted at what the hell just happened. The next episode has Tobin immediately returning to the drink he'd just given up.
  • After Garret is returned to the outpost, it becomes Janzo's responsibility to find a way to fix what's wrong. While Garret prattles on like a preacher spreading the good word of the Covenant, Janzo nonchalantly jots down notes in complete clinical deadpan, culminating in him writing something and asking Garret to read it aloud.
    Janzo: Now to test your eyesight. Read this...
    Garret: "Shut U-"[Realizes Janzo's taking the piss when the note is just "SHUT UP!" followed by a :P scribble]
    Janzo: [Sporting a shit-eating grin] Perfect vision!
  • Tobin's Epic Fail of a "rescue attempt" charging in, drunk, to attack a demon. The thing actually looks downright annoyed as it just smacks Tobin out a window into the courtyard.
  • In the Season 2 finale, Munt returns unexpectedly and happily starts doling out Bear Hugs to Janzo and Naya. When he sees Elinor, he runs up to embrace her, but without breaking stride she nonchalantly ducks beneath his arms and immediately starts giving him orders as if he'd never left.
  • While dark, the reactions of Janzo and Naya, after finally sharing a Big Damn Kiss to finding out that they're actually twin siblings is also hilarious.
  • Janzo meets his match in a Blackblood mage named Wren...who's basically the female version of him. Their banter (especially when she nearly poisons herself thanks to his complex "filing system") is beautiful. The two finally hook up later in the season... as a "scientific study" to how humans and Blackbloods can mate.
  • Janzo in pajamas and a sleeping cap.
  • The "fight" between Garrett and a drunk Tobin that mostly involves Garrett trying to avoid Tobin's strikes, falling about in the tavern, and falling off a balcony to talk it out while flat on their backs on the street.
  • Aster tries to assure a suspicious Garret that he's trustworthy by sharing all the things he's learned from Talon carrying his kinj, including all her intimate moments with Garret... but when he starts to talk about Talon and Garret's first time making love, Garret immediately shuts him up, much to Talon and Luna's amusement.
  • As Talon and Garret part ways in "All We Do Is Say Goodbye," we're treated to this exchange:
    Talon: (to Garret) It seems like all we do is say goodbye.
    Zed: (looking on, to Garret) Maybe it's your breath.
