  • Alfonse Gangitano's 'updated photo' he personally sent to the police for their files. It's actually used by the police later on, and the sight of Gangitano's contemplative mug juxtaposed with Butterworth seething with rage is amazing, and gets better when Butterworth actually hits it in frustration.
  • Carl getting busted for drug manufacturing in Cocksure. By sheer accident.
    Policeman: Mr Brown?
    Carl: No.
    Policeman: But a Mr David Brown does live at these premises?
    Carl: No, mate. Not here.
    Policeman: We have a summons here for a court appearance in regards to 11 traffic offences. And his address is listed as 34 Hayden Place.
    Carl: Oh, this is 34A Hayden Place. Yeah, you've got the wrong address.
    *The pill press, still on at this point, roars loudly*
    Policeman: Mate, what exactly is going on in here?
    *Police barge in to find the drug lab*
    • Earlier on, Jason destroying his kid's toy in anger. So does Carl when Jason returns from self imposed exile.
    • Lewis recommending that Jason find a lawyer:
    Lewis: Someone who's prepared to stand up in front of a jury and swear by what a... gentle, peace-loving,... family man you are.
    Jason: (Nods for a few seconds) Right.
    Lewis: Yeah. Look, I'll leave that one with you, I reckon.
    • Topped off by Jason standing around awkwardly for a few seconds after Lewis walk off before shouting "Thanks, Dad!".
  • Dino and Rocco's incompetent attempt at kidnapping Mad Richard Mladenich from his house in broad daylight. They succeed, after lots of screaming and struggling, in front of tens of shocked, confused witnesses. They then awkwardly get into their car and quietly drive off.
    • Before that, Richard fixing the lock that the police had broken in a previous raid. Just as he gets the second screw done, in pop Dino and Rocco.
    • It becomes even cringier later on when Mladenich escapes from Dino's car boot at a service station, while Rocco is busy robbing the attendant.
    • Thanks to being undercut, they're down $11,000. What do they get from kidnapping Richard? $380. Dino actually celebrates it, saying that they have the upper hand now.
    • Finally, when they demand ransom (which Jason himself can't believe):
    Dino: You wanna see Rich again?
    Jason: Why?
  • Jacqui later interviews Dino, who's dressed in a towel and nothing else, about the kidnapping of Mladenich. Aside from the fun Purana had listening in on the bugs about him not being able to get anyone to pay for his release or murder, thirty seconds in Jacqui tells him to take his eyes off her vagina. He promptly drops the towel, then her eyes rove where they shouldn't.
  • Jacqui and Steve then return to Dino's house to quiz him after Mladenich's murder:
    Dino: Richard...Mladenich? I never heard of him.
    Jacqui: He's the bloke you abducted. In the boot, remember? The abduction you're out on bail for?
    Rocco: Oh yeah...that Richard Mladenich...
    Dino: Oh yeah, now I remember!
