Funny Moments examples can be listed for any work, not just works that aren't purely comedic.

I skimmed part of that specific page and noticed a lot of Zero Context Examples. Since Funny Moments is an Audience Reaction, it would be ideal for examples to discuss the reaction instead of just listing the moment with no further commentary.

Yes it's kinda my point, it's just listing most of the jokes without people explaining anything else.

Funny pages are more difficult than other moments pages IMO, since most people wouldn't really want to explain the joke lest they kill its comedy, but you still do need to provide some context for the joke besides just quoting it.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Basically, for comedies, Funny Moments pages should ideally be about the most notable jokes within the already-funny work. Of course, that's subjective, but that's also the point.
