History Funny / BattlestarGalactica1978

--> '''Starbuck''': No wonder those little buggers are such good card players.

--> '''Lieutenant Starbuck''': I wonder how this place looks like in the daytime?
--> '''Lieutenant Boomer''': Hey, this is the daytime.
--> '''Lieutenant Starbuck''': Oooh... lovely...

--> '''Athena''': Sir, we're picking up attack signals between Purple and Orange Squadrons... We don't ''have'' Purple and Orange Squadrons.
--> '''Adama''': (''looks completely puzzled'') Purple and Orange?

--> "Baltar's Escape" plays out like a "Secret Society of Super Villains". Baltar recruits the Borellian Nomen (imprisoned after their antics in ''The Man With Nine Lives'') and Commandant Leiter along with his Eastern Alliance men. Needless to say, Baltar isn't quite on the level of Lex Luthor. And his allies are quick to point out the very obvious flaw in his hostage taking plan. Adama needs to believe that Baltar will release the hostages. Baltar actually turns to the viewer audience with the most pathetic OhCrap look on his face.

** That's nothing compared to the look on Adama's face when he has to go courting [[UnwantedSuitor Siress Belloby]].

* Starbuck's reaction to learning the secret of Geminese poker players.

* While exploring the dark surface of the planet Carillon.

* Starbuck and Apollo's use of the "Red/Blue" and "Yellow/Green" Squadrons ploy is very brilliant. Apollo draws the line at the idea of adding "Purple" and "Orange".

* A ''typical'' conversation between the Imperious Leader and one of his Centurions.

* When Apollo finds out about Serina's pilot training, he asks Boxey and Muffet to leave the room.

--> '''Boxey''': (''leaves with a knowing smile on his face and tells Muffet'') Yes they are.

* The rookie shuttle pilot's, especially during their training.

* Starbuck and Apollo mockingly make conversation that mimics the conversation of the female Warriors in the "Lost Planet of the Gods" episode.

--> '''Apollo''': Oh, well, I am so excited. I just found this place in the Astradon freighter. With a little paint and some nice curtains, it's so cozy!

* Starbuck later gets captured by the Cylons.

** That's nothing compared to the look on Adama's face when he has to go courting Siress Belloby.

* Lucifer, criticizing Specter's sucking up to Baltar.

* After a tense scene when Boomer jumps through the door into a storage room in "Fire in Space", he can't help but add a little quib to Boxey.
--> '''Boomer''': Boxey, it looks like I... [[CasualDangerDialogue mashed your mushies.]]

* The way Starbuck and C.O.R.A. would keep snarking back and forth in "The Long Patrol".

** Starbuck and Apollo's use of "Red/Blue" and "Yellow/Green" Squadrons is very brilliant. Apollo draws the line at the idea of adding "Purple" and "Orange".

-->'''Baltar''':I don't want to miss a moment of the last Battlestar's destruction.

--> '''Starbuck''': [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar No wonder those little buggers are such good card players.]]

* Zac's {{Sqee}} reaction to being allowed to go on his first ever mission in the series pilot. [[spoiler:Shame things turned out the way they did.]]

* Zac's ((Sqee}} reaction to being allowed to go on his first ever mission in the series pilot. [[spoiler:Shame things turned out the way they did.]]

* Zac's reaction to being allowed to go on his first ever mission in the series pilot. [[spoiler:Shame things turned out the way they did.]]

* From "Living Legend", when the Cylon says to Baltar, "I really think you should look at the ''other'' battlestar."

* Just about all of "The Man With Nine Lives" is a [[CrowningMomentOfFunny CMoF]].

--> '''IL-Cylon''': [[{{Understatement}} Uh oh.]]

[[AC:Galactica 1980]]

* Starbuck and his Cylon pal Cy get a few, in what may be the only decent ''Galactica 1980'' episode.
** When Cy is explaining why his Raider crashed, Starbuck jokingly asks if someone in the three-Cylon crew pulled out the manual. Cy (completely missing the mockery) confirms that they did, but it did ''not'' help. He goes on to show why flying a starfighter by committee doesn't work:
--> '''Cy''': We were taking a vote when the ground came up and hit us.
** Starbuck tells Cy that the (pregnant) human woman they've discovered is going to give birth to yet another human. His response?
--> '''Cy''': I am rapidly being surrounded.
** The humor is a bit darker, bordering on FridgeHorror, but... one almost has to laugh at the absurdity of it all when Starbuck's [[ArmorPiercingQuestion innocent question]] reveals that the Cylons haven't given any thought to what they're going to do once the universe is finally "organized."
