Examples moved * [[http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ld0uIhst3TA The Joker's eulogy to Batman]]. Harley Quinn playing AmazingFreakingGrace ''on the kazoo'' had to be done in one take because everyone was laughing too hard afterwards to do it again. Bonus points for the ''Kick Me'' sign the Joker put in the casket along with the cape and cowl.
* Alternatively Alfred trying to fly the Batwing in "The Forgotten"
-->'''Alfred''': This must be the place! Bring us down!\\
'''Computer''': [[AC:Negative.]]\\
'''Alfred''': But Master Bruce is down here! We have to land!\\
'''Computer''': [[AC:Impossible. Area too confined.]]\\
'''Alfred''': Land you bucket of bolts!\\
'''Computer''': [[AC:Your funeral.]]\\
'''Alfred''': Oh dear! Ahhhhh! Get us down!\\
'''Computer''': [[AC:Caution. Rocks.]]\\
(Batwing lands in a quarry)\\
'''Computer''': [[AC:Watch your step.]]\\
'''Alfred''': (jumbled) [[NonSequiturThud I claim this land...]] ''[[NonSequiturThud for Spain]]''!
* Alfred gets a few in his ServileSnarker role, such as in ''Mask of the Phantasm'', upon hearing someone refer to Batman as "insane," he remarks to Bruce, "What rot, sir! Why, you're the very paragon of sanity. By the way, I've pressed your tights and put away your exploding gas balls." "Thank you, Alfred."
** (In response to Batman's angry accusation "You think you know everything about me, don't you?"): "I diapered your bottom, I bloody well ought to...'''sir'''."
* The Joker, when Batman uses a garbage compactor to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KzIA3yPvHE crush a robot clown]] into a cube: ''"You killed Captain Clown! YOU KILLED CAPTAIN CLOWN!!!"'' Said [[AxCrazy completely straight and in earnest]].
** Points for Mark Hamill being able to pull that off. I would have been laughing halfway through that line.
** From the same episode: "I'm gonna melt you like a grilled cheese sandwich!"
* Nothing quite compares to how The Joker escapes at the beginning of "Christmas With The Joker." Escaping from [[CardboardPrison Arkham Asylum]]? Fairly standard. Doing so on a rocket shaped like a Christmas tree? Inspired. Doing so [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Veju4PxhuGc while singing "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells"]], and actually escaping on the line "And the Joker got away"? Gut-bustingly hilarious.
** "Laughing all the WHEEEEEEEE!"
* The episode "Almost Got 'Em" to be one of the funniest episodes in the series. Just the witty banter between the the villains is enough to leave her in stitches. But, the funniest bit would have to be when [[spoiler:Harley Quinn starts reading from the phonebook in a hilariously deadpan tone.]]
** Also:
--->'''Killer Croc:''' There I was, holed up in this quarry, when Batman came nosin' around. He was getting closer, ''closer''...\\
'''Poison Ivy:''' ...And?\\
'''Killer Croc:''' ''I threw a rock at him!''\\
[''ChirpingCrickets'']\\
'''Poison Ivy:''' *Ignoring Croc* So, Harvey, what became of the giant penny?\\
'''Killer Croc:''' ...I-it was a big rock...
** Bonus points that [[spoiler: Killer Croc was actually Batman in disguise.]]
*** And it got even ''better'' during "The Trial", because [[spoiler: the real]] Killer Croc's suggestion to dispose of Batman was simply "Hit him with a rock!"
** And don't forget, from the same episode:
--->'''Two-Face:''' Poison Ivy...\\
'''Poison Ivy:''' It's been a long time Harvey. You're still looking half-way decent.\\
'''Two-Face:''' Half of me wants to strangle you.\\
'''Poison Ivy:''' (flirtatiously) And what does the other half want?\\
'''Two-Face:''' To hit you with a truck!\\
'''Poison Ivy:''' (to the others) We used to date.\\
'''Joker/Penguin/Croc:''' (understanding) Oh.
** FridgeBrilliance[=/=]ContinuityNod: They really ''did''. Ivy's first episode had her trying to kill a pre-Two-Face Harvey Dent!
* The episode with {{The Creeper}} making a cameo (but not for The Creeper himself, sad to say). Most notably because of his ransacking of an upscale clothing boutique looking for a new superhero outfit, a scene which gave us the character [[EnsembleDarkhorse Thriftie]], the clerk with the green sweater, green headband, and ''[[TheStoic biting stone-faced stoicism.]]'' Never once in the entire scene does she even ''raise an eyebrow'' at Creeper's actions; instead she answers each one with [[DeadpanSnarker a snarky comment that's snarkier than the last]].
** Everything Creeper says. ''Everything''.
** Even Alfred gets in on it:
---> '''Alfred:''' The police just received a call about a giggling lemon-yellow maniac trashing a thrift shop. [[LampshadeHanging But here's]] the ''[[CityOfAdventure strange part]]''...
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjRCUhds0hU Yes, folks, he just punched out Batman...]] and it was both hilarious and [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome TOTALLY AWESOME!]]
** "But she just tried to kill you!" "You're young. You'll learn."
** The Joker calls The Creeper a lunatic. ''The Joker called The Creeper a lunatic.''
** Or this bit...
--->'''Robin''': Which way did he (Creeper) go?
--->''*big [[StuffBlowingUp kaboom]] in the background*''
--->'''Batman''': [[DeadpanSnarker That way]]...
* In [[@/GwenStacyWannabe my]] opinion, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmJM8Ur5sE8 this song]] is the best angsty love song ''ever''.
** Which is ''very'' creepy, considering it was an ''actual song'' from a movie [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaTZoZZsb0g made in 1944]].
* "Harlequinade": Batman and Harley team up. That is all.
* "Harley's Holiday": The Scarecrow is getting hauled back to Arkham by Batman and Robin.
-->'''Scarecrow''': "''I am the master of fear! The lord of despair! Cower before me and witness terror!''"\\
'''Harley Quinn''': "Hi professor Crane."\\
'''Scarecrow''': "Good evening, child... '''''Worship me, fools! Worship me! Scream hosannas of anguish to Scarecrow, the all-terrible God of fear!'''''"
** And immediately afterward, Robin points a thumb at him as he's dragged down the hall, and nonchalantly remarks, "I think he's getting better!"
** Same ep, earlier on, right after snapping in a clothing store
--->'''Harley:''' "Watch it buster, I'm ''[[JustForPun armed]]''!\\
(smacks Bruce Wayne with mannequin arm)
** The crowner -- in a whole episode of Crowned -- has to be when Harley and Veronica are almost out of Gotham -- and the "kidnap" victim Veronica has made her peace with Harley. Harley of course tempts fate by saying that for the first time today, things look good. At which point, the car is almost blown to bits by a cannon shell. Dazed, Harley sees Veronica's father, an army general, whipping a tank like the old cavalry man he is and bearing down on them.
--->'''Veronica''': "Daddy!"
--->'''Harley''': "Daddy? Oyyyyy..." (She rapidly turns the car back towards Gotham.)
--->'''Veronica''': "What are you doing? That's my father!"
--->'''Harley''': "Noooo...That's your father...'''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r67HKrNdmI IN A TANK!]]'''"
** There's also the scene where Harley (walking her [[FluffyTheTerrible pet hyenas]]) meets up with [[SecretIdentity Bruce Wayne]] in the store she's shopping in. HilarityEnsues when she tries to figure out where she's seen him before.
--->'''Harley''': There's something about that chin... I got it! [[CompletelyMissingThePoint You're Bruce Wayne, the billionaire!]] Unattached, I see...
* How about the Joker's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CV2UTzClnhY answering machine message]]? It's either hilarious or NightmareFuel, depending on where he got the recording. As follows:
--> '''Joker''': "Boy, did YOU get the wrong number! Leave your message after the shriek."
--> '''Male Voice''': "No... please... don't! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHG!"
* In "Trial": Harley going nuclear on the Joker.
--> '''Janet''': "Sad, isn't it? Harleen Quinzel used to be a doctor here at Arkham, until the Joker twisted her mind."
--> '''Harley''': "Ha! You're just jealous 'cause you don't have a fella who's as loving and loyal as my pudding is to me!"
--> '''Janet''': "Uh-huh. And I suppose it's that same loyalty I saw the last time you escaped..."
--> (Joker frantically waves his hands trying to signal Janet to shut up)
--> '''Janet''': "...and puddin' here finked on you in hopes of getting time off."
--> '''Harley''': "Is that... true, puddin'?"
--> '''Joker''': (fidgets) "'Finked' is... such an ugly word."
--> '''Harley''': (lunges, grabs Joker by the collar and shakes him, screeching) "YOU LOUSY, SCUM-SUCKING CREEP!"
** To the laughter [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHgYcCKV6bc&feature=related and delight of the other villains assembled]].
** Also, in "Joker's Millions," [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CXtBulwA2c when she gets revenge on Joker for trying to replace her, billy-club style]]. As a matter of fact, "Fake-Harley" in general.
** Another one for "Trial", in the Joker's entrance:
--> '''Scarface''': "And now, all greet the most benevolent, most fair Judge Joker!"
--> '''Joker''': *Slams the hammer down* "GUILTY!!!".
* In "Holiday Knights", Harvey Bullock is posing as a mall santa. This is funny enough in and of itself, but here's a conversation between him and a little girl who comes up:
--> '''Girl''': "My name's Mary [=MacSweeney=]. Can you bring my Daddy home for Christmas?"
--> '''Bullock''': "Gee, kid, I dunno. Where is he?"
--> '''Girl''': *cheerfully* "In prison."
--> '''Bullock''': *stops short* "You mean your dad is 'Mad-dog' Mac-...I mean, Mike [=MacSweeney=]?"
--> '''Girl''': "Uh-huh."
--> '''Bullock''': "Uh, listen, kid, it's like this. I, uh... ah... I'd like to help you out, but... er, uh, what I mean is..." *gives up, reaches into pocket and pulls out a handful of bills* "Here, go buy yourself something nice."
--> '''Girl''': "Thank you, Santa!" *hugs* "Can I buy my Daddy something, too?"
--> '''Bullock''': "As long as it ain't a hacksaw..."
** Later in that segment, Clayface shows up. Batgirl knocks him into the ice-skating pond outside, which he breaks through. There is a santa on the chain of lights above the rink. Bullock and Montoya try to shoot Clayface.
--->'''Batgirl:''' Don't waste your ammo on ''him''! Shoot the Santa!
--->(Montoya and Bullock look at each other.)
--->'''Bullock:''' You wouldn't.
** This little scene:
--->'''Obnoxious kid''': You're not Santa!
---> '''Bullock (dressed as Santa)''': Sure I am! Wanna see my gun?
** Pretty much the first 10 minutes in their entirety. Such as Harley's "Gimme some sugar, ''baby''!", and this bit:
--->*''Bruce falls down elevator shaft''*
--->'''Harley:''' Ohmigod omigod omigod!! (''small voice'') We...we ''killed'' him. (''normally'') Oh well.
--->'''Ivy:''' We were going to do it, anyway.
** "Look PIANO!!!"-Harley
** Another Harley moment from same episode, she kept BEGGING Ivy to get them a Christmas Tree, to which Ivy said no-saying that the tradition of Christmas Trees is Genocide
to the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Funny/DCAnimatedUniverse DCAU Funny page]].

----
Pines! When they kidnap Bruce and make him pay for their shopping spree, the first thing Harley notices, a Christmas Tree...
--->'''Harley''': ''Pleeeeeeease!''
--->'''Ivy''': *grabs Harley by her jester hat, and drags her off screen* [[ThisIsSparta NO!!]]
*** And when a Christmas tree falls on them, Ivy points out that Harley got her tree, and asks if Harley's happy now. Harley is.
* Although it was only an experiment, someone from 4chan's /co/ board adding more [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzIdotKSHc0 Batman Glare]] into the intro.
* In ''BatmanMysteryOfTheBatwoman'', Batman breaks into a suspect's apartment and is going through her wardrobe when her bodyguard walks in on him. It should be mentioned that this is a bodyguard whom Batman ''thoroughly'' thrashed in an earlier meeting. They stare at each other for five mute seconds, then the bodyguard calmly closes the door and walks away. The bodyguard's partner asks what's up and the bodyguard says: "Nothing."
* One classic bit that was completely unexpected takes place in "See No Evil". While Bruce is at a jewelry store, the villain of the day enters the men's room to change into his invisibility suit and locks the door when a poor guard needed to use the restroom. When he tries again later, Bruce is in there getting changed into the Batman costume. This time, the guard waits in front of the door, to which Batman slams it open and just smacks the poor guy against the wall.
* The ClockKing scores one in "Time Out of Joint". After activating his device that causes time around him to slow down, he decides to take the elevator to the top of a building...only to realize how pointless this is and takes the stairs instead.
