* Constantine's psychiatrist reads his business card out loud, emphasizing the "Master of the Dark Arts" line. Constantine looks up and remarks he should change it to "Petty Dabbler", as he does ''so'' hate to put on airs. It's the ''tone'' of his voice that really sells it. [[spoiler:A lot less funny once we find out [[MyGreatestFailure why he thinks this]].]]
* He notices a [[{{Squick}} rather large amount of cockroaches heading into the art room]] and towards a young woman who is painting something on the wall. As he approaches her to try to get her to stop, he notices her eyes are completely white and filmed over. He promptly turns away, muttering "''No''. No no no no no no. This is ''not'' my problem," only to stop, roll his eyes and say "Oh, ''bollocks''." After he exorcises her, he realizes that he's got to leave and strides out of the room, tossing off a "She did it," over his shoulder as doctors and other patients rush in.
* When he meets Liv, he first points out that she's holding her can of Mace the wrong way, then hands her a business card. When she points out the "[[RunningGag Master of the Dark Arts]]" bit, he says exasperatedly "I'm getting new ones made!" Then he [[ItMakesSenseInContext descends into the sinkhole]], and when a dark shape startles him, he yells "Who's there? I'm a nasty piece of work, you can ask anyone!"
* After Chas [[spoiler:is impaled with an electrical line, seemingly fatally]], he comes over and helps make dinner before they go out to take down the MonsterOfTheWeek. Liv's [[AudienceSurrogate completely incredulous reaction to his arrival]], combined with [[SeenItAll Constantine and Chas' lack of one]] really sell just how [[UrbanFantasy bizarre]] this world really is.
* Constantine's way of getting in to fight the demon involves paying a security guard $500... Except he claims that he wants to have sex with Liv on the rooftop instead. He continues on to hand the guard a lightbulb, saying that he'll pay an extra $100 if the guard calls him the instant it starts to glow.
-->'''Guard:''' But... It's not screwed in to anything.
-->'''Constantine:''' [[DoubleEntendre Neither am I, mate.]]
[[AC:The Devil's Vinyl]]
* Chas insists on keeping Zed around despite all of John's protests, even though she's provided important clues and even ''saved his ass''. Then she has one final vision that leads our heroes in the right direction.
-->'''Chas''': I think we should do what she says.\\
'''John''': Ok, but we're not going to jump the moment she says it! ({{Beat}}) Ok, that's long enough, let's go.
[[AC:A Feast of Friends]]
* John taking stock of all the dead bodies at the meat processing plant, and then, helpfully, taking the time to erase the number on the [[XDaysSince "Days Since Last Incident"]] sign, writing a nice neat 0 in its place.
* After that, calling out if there's anyone there still alive; "-Preferrably ''not'' possessed and feeling peckish...!"
* Constantine's delightfully malicious reaction to when Zed says she touched with Gary: "[[IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow You...touched?]]". Cue some very concerned denials.
* Gary goes to steal a knife for the ritual to come, with Constantine under arrest by a guard. When he comes back, Constantine has bewitched the guard to dance however he wants him to, and is instructing him on what to do next.
[[AC:Danse Vaudou]]
* Chaz and Zed are trying to keep a couple of killer ghosts from killing while Constantine looks for a permanent solution. Zed keeps a hitchhiking ghost busy by picking him up over and over, able to avoid the crash he's tricked others into making by being aware. Chaz, however, is sent to track down a scissor-wielding ghost of a model, who wears a medical mask hiding horrific scars, and asks "Am I pretty?" before she starts stabbing. Chaz's main method of stalling her is, well, to get stabbed, then get back up later from his immortality. Then after a few tries, he completely baffles her by asking if ''she'' thinks ''he's'' pretty.
** Not just funny, [[ShownTheirWork accurate, too]]. The ghost is based on a Japanese spirit called Kuchisake-onna, or Slit-mouthed Woman. The main method to escape death by scissors is to confuse her by flipping the question back on her, or asking her random questions to distract her so you can escape.
* Constantine being strangely pleasant for a captive in the trunk of Papa Midnite's car. Though he does ask that they turn off the Reggae music.
[[AC:Rage of Caliban]]
* Constantine leaving a girl's house via the window....[[spoiler:in his boxers, because the girl's boyfriend is at the door.]]
* When John and Chas find the possessed child:
-->'''Chas''': So, now what, we knock on the door?\\
'''John''': No, that never works.\\
'''Chas''': Why not?\\
'''John''': [[DeadpanSnarker Well, hello. We tracked an evil spirit to your house. We think it's inside your kid. You mind if we take a look?]]\\
'''Chas''': Yeah, that won't work.\\
* An annoyed Constantine punching a mechanical haunted house zombie in the face after [[spoiler:it pops up and destroys the mirror he's carrying to deflect the possessing spirit's attacks]].
[[AC:Blessed Are The Damned]]
* Constantine and Zed's first interaction in this episode, in which a overexcited Zed and a overly grumpy Constantine talk over one another in a incomprehensible mess of words without skipping a beat ''for a full minute'' before Constantine abruptly stops his rant and asks about snakes.
* John mentions that he will need a lot of protection artifacts. Every kind, including a pack of condoms. After Zed's mention that they were going to see a preacher after all, he passes one to her as well.
* Later on, Zed's absolute {{Adorkable}} joy at being in the presence of an angel. Particularly when Manny appears in the room, but only John can see him. She [[FunnyBackgroundEvent aimlessly wanders about trying to find him]] like a game of hide-and-seek while Manny and Constantine have a chat.
** Adding to that, at one point, Constantine nonchalantly says for her to go in a direction ''directly opposite'' where she has to go in order to be closer to Manny. It's easy to get the idea that John's just trolling her.
[[AC: The Saint of Last Resorts: Part 2]]
* Chas needs to get inside of the prison. After floundering it for a bit, he says "screw it" and punches the guard. He gets his ass kicked, but it works.
* Anna Marie needs to get John's body out of the prison, but the guard would recognize Chas. Her solution is to her use AstralProjection to appear topless for a DistractedByTheSexy moment.
[[AC:Quid Pro Quo]]
* John explains to Zed that he's survived on instinct thus far, and his tell him that Zed's a good person. He also mentions that she's nice-looking.
-->'''Zed:''' Wish I could say the same.
-->'''John:''' [[SarcasmMode Well, thanks.]]
