[[folder:[[AC: 4x01 Pax Penguina]]]]
* The sheer RefugeInAudacity of Penguin ''licensing'' crime.
* The band at the wedding is playing a retro cover of [[MemeticMutation "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley]]. The show's not even trying to pretend it's not trolling the audience anymore.
* Bruce pulling his first Batman-style StealthHiBye on Gordon, in the middle of the GCPD in broad daylight. Gordon's confusion is priceless.
* Zsasz is back, and as usual is worth some BlackComedy laughs:
** He shows up to stop the unlicensed stick up of a wedding reception, shooting off the finger of one of the crooks to scare them away. And then, when the bride tries to thank him, he says not to bother, since the heavily armed men with him ''do'' have licenses.
** His back and forth with Tabitha when he shows up at her and Selina's rundown apartment.
-->'''Zsasz''': Didn't you use to be rich?\\
'''Tabitha''': That was before your boss stole my club.\\
'''Zsasz''': Well, you killed his mother and tried to kill him, so... call it even?
* Oswald does a big speech to the frozen Ed, noting how he now feels trapped and "I wonder which one of us is frozen." Naturally, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Ivy points out it's Eddie.]]
* Alfred's exasperation at the latest round of TheMasochismTango between Bruce and Selina -- her making him balance on a rooftop ledge with her to deliver his apology for being a jerk last time they talked.
-->"You two! Why can't you meet at the bloody cinema like normal teenagers?"
[[/folder]]

[[folder: [[AC: 4x02 The Fear Reaper]]]]
* Bruce explaining he got caught simply because he naturally assumed the Gotham cops would ''never'' respond to an alarm so quickly.
* Barbara brushing off Tabitha and Selina's shock at her being alive.
-->'''Barbara''': [[DeathIsCheap It's Gotham.]] Next time, check for a pulse.
* Zsasz practically squeeing over the weapons in Barbara's arsenal.
* Harvey's trying to persuade Jim from not going to Don Falcone for help.
--> "You killed his son! Italians don't forget that sort of thing!"
* When Lucius Fox delivers the first of the proto-Batman suits, he keeps mentioning the equipment is for "rock-climbing," even mentioning the two way radio installed to keep in touch whilst "climbing rocks."

[[folder: [[AC: 4x03 They Who Hide Behind Masks]]]]
* When he discovers Ed's body is missing, Oswald freaks out. Victor is less upset as he takes in the massive hole in the ice block.
-->'''Zsasz''': I don't know. I think it opens up the room.
* Also, how very pleased with himself Zsasz sounds to have nailed the "frog in a blender" riddle.
* Just the insane humor of ''Nygma'' being "rescued" by a nutcase stalker who was also a former grade school classmate.
* Bruce's pathetic attempt at a "tough guy" accent at the docks.
* Bruce hamming it up at the auction. A theme of the episode is Bruce learning to wear masks, whether they be actual masks or metaphorical ones in the form of new personas. He's learning now how to play Bruce Wayne.
** Bruce and Barbara want the same knife, and twice, Bruce outbids Barbara by one dollar. The third time, he outbids her by one cent.
** And the Penguin deliberately cutting off Barbara's rival bid ''just'' because she annoys him.
* Selina comes into Wayne Manor's study to find Bruce in the dark.

'''Bruce''': I was expecting someone else.\\
'''Selina''': Like who?

* Ed sends Oswald a message in the form of two homeless men, who rap the riddle. Victor bops his head along with the tune.
** There's also Victor repeatedly whining about wanting to torture the men. Finally, Oswald gets so annoyed he lets him.
** Later, when Nygma shows up to confront Penguin, he's ambushed by Freeze, who casually asks him if he wants to be frozen in the same pose as last time, or something new, as if discussing a haircut.
** Oswald outright telling Nygma that his riddles suck.
* Oswald and Victor find a trio of mobsters wanting to throw in with Falcone.
-->'''Oswald''': Victor, how many graves did you dig?
-->'''Victor''': Two. But they're roomy.
* Gordon getting rid of Anubis, Ra's vicious dog-man, with an absurd yet logical action: Throwing him a dinosaur bone to fetch, [[DestinationDefenestration out a window]].

-->'''Gordon''': [[DeadpanSnarker Thanks for clarifying.]]

* #4 on Penguin's "To-Do" list is "Kill Sofia Falcone". When she comes to him to offer him an alliance, he tells his employee to add a question mark to the end.
* Ed tries to rob a pharmacy and screams about how they don't have anything for them. The tied-up clerk notes that "a pill to handle your brain being frozen and unfrozen? That's kind of specific...."
* The clerk claims he has some experimental drugs hidden away. Ed looks for them just in time for the clerk to ram a quill pen into his hand. He then grabs Ed's gun...which turns out to be fake. He tosses it into Ed's ribs causing him to yell and stalks out, adding that the pills are just sugar.
* Almost all of Ed's interactions with Solomon Grundy, the newly zombiefied Butch, are hilarious and oddly touching:
** After his EpicFail of robbing a pharmacy, Ed downs the sugar pill bottle he took, then runs into Grundy. He shouts, "''Butch?!''" in a YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe tone, tries to goad him to go after Barbara instead, and comments on his UndeathlyPallor. Grundy gives him a TapOnTheHead and remarks, "Man talk too much." After waking up the next morning, Ed first assumes the incident was a freaky trip from the pills before Grundy shows himself again.
** Ed rants, heartbroken, that he is too damaged himself to help Grundy remember his past, Grundy finds a way to cheer him up: A stolen hotdog cart.
-->'''Ed''': Well, I am feeling a ''bit'' peckish.
** Ed being proud of himself for thinking of something mundane as to throw water on Grundy when he gets lit on fire, and Grundy thanks him with a BearHug.

[[folder:[[AC: 4x06 Hog Day Afternoon]]]]
* Penguin's annoyance when Zsasz keeps referring to his time with Sofia as a "date".
* Due to his brain damage, the only threat Nygma can give Lee is a vague promise of doing "something" to her clinic if she doesn't help him. She can't help but laugh in his face.

* Nygma's ridiculously over-the-top Penguin impression during the pre-fight show, complete with a makeshift penguin mask, a cartoonish waddle, and a nerdy, nasally voice.
* Penguin's chief aide tells Barbara, Tabitha and Selina about the mocking in "a terrible commedia dell'arte!" The trio stare at him as if he's speaking Martian.
* Selina can't help giggling at the news of Nygma mocking Penguin in the fights.
* Barbara's amazing OhCrap face upon seeing Butch. Seeing her aboslutely caught off guard for once is immensely satisfying.
-->'''Tabitha''': Do you know what this means?!
-->'''Barbara''': Yeah, it means you owe me an apology for electrocuting me.
* Oswald's "teaching" of how to properly take revenge against the adorable mute sociopath is both endearing and disturbing.
** The way the youth communicates via drawings shows a mind so dark you can't help but laugh.
* Ed mocks Lee's "only thing that stinks is you" line before shooting Firefly.
-->'''Lee''': I get melodramatic under pressure.

* Jim goes to a brothel to ask the madam if she's seen Harvey. She tells him how he asked for two very heavyset ladies.

* The ad for the Siren Club. Barbara and Tabitha are doing hot dancing while Selina is doing some lame hopping with a "please shoot me" expression.
-->'''Barbara''': The Club is back with a passion.
-->'''Tabitha''': Women drink for free while men...don't.
-->'''Selina''': ''(flatly)'' You'll like it. It's nice.
* Bruce's role in the episode is primarily hanging around in the background, [[BecomingTheMask leaning into]] the billionaire brat facade he cultivated as a cover just a few episodes before and making mildly annoying comments everyone ignores.
* All it takes is seeing an annoying redhead causing trouble and driving men crazy for Selina to figure it's Ivy.
* Barbara beautifully trolling Gordon by telling him where to find "the Doc," not letting him know it's Lee.
** Followed by Jim's "oh come ON!" look, first seeing Lee and then realizing Nygma is working for her.
* Jim brings Eddie up to speed on his target.
-->'''Gordon''': Toymaker turned assassin.

-->'''Lee''': Why not? He wouldn't have been my first choice but the universe has funny ways.

* Bullock showing up as Alfred in Bruce's nightmare. And for some reason, he's petting a chicken.
* When Harper talks of Ivy as "the coolest", Jim automatically calls her a psycho. He then sees every cop in the building glaring at him and Selina confirms this is Ivy's work.
-->'''Harper''': What did you mean by Ivy's a psycho?
-->'''Jim''': Hold that thought, Harper...we'll be right back.
** He and Selina do a horrible job pretending to love Ivy later.

** Her exasperation when Riddler will only answer her questions with riddles, ''even while being tortured.''
* The climactic battle of Gordon's war with Sofia somehow goes down at a fetish hotel for adult babies.
-->'''Harvey:''' What fresh level of Hell is this?
** It's hard to say who's more embarrassed when Jim and Harvey apprehend Mr. Penn: the cops, for interrogating someone who's dressed in an oversized baby romper, or Mr. Penn for being questioned in one.

-->'''Oswald''': Oh, I agree!
[[/folder]]

[[folder: [[AC: 4x16 One of My Three Soups]]]]
* Any episode with Jerome in it is guaranteed to be a laugh-riot. Highlights from the ginger maniac include:
** The sheer weirdness of Jerome, of all people, acting like the sane man of the Jervis-Jonathan-Jerome trio, amidst the other two's loony ramblings and lack of focus.
** As he exits his cell, checking his bare wrist.
-->'''Jerome''': When I say three hairs past the freckle, gentlemen, I don't mean five hairs past.
** Him hiding from the police under a table, only to find some gum under there [[{{Squick}} to eat]].
** What he says to his uncle (though this borders on TearJerker and NightmareFuel territory as well): "You really brought back the utter helplessness of childhood."
** His indecision of whether to save Bruce or let him be killed, including his giggling all the while.
** The very sleazy grin he gives when he first lays eyes on Selina.

* One for Selina: "Bruce... your ego. It's huge."
* Bruce's quip to Jim after letting him know where to find Jerome: "You can yell at me there."
* Bruce's method of stopping Detective Harper from finding Selina stealing Jerome's file is to burst into fake tears.

* At last, the show's Freaks gather together: Jerome, Oswald, Freeze, Firefly, Scarecrow and Mad Hatter. All around a table where Jerome not only drops the episode title but names them "The Legion of Horribles." Just the sight of these lunatics in their various costumes having a sit-down meal is hysterical.
** One of the brunch servers, Carl, clearly doesn't know how to do his job.
-->'''Jerome''': '''USE THE TONGS, CARL!'''
* Jervis's attempt to hypnotize Harvey is derailed by Harvey letting out a berserker roar and ''bullrushing'' him. Cue Jervis and Crane immediately turning tail and running for their lives from the kamikaze detective.
-->'''Harvey''': Oh, HELL NO! I AM NOT LETTING YOU HYPNOTIZE ME AGAIN!\\
'''Jervis''': ''(while running)'' Must go! Must go! ... [[RhymesOnADime They're-after-me-and-the-Scarecrow]]!
* Jerome taking an elevator up with a shotgun and tapping his feet to the muzak. He mutters about how "I used to be a good whistler" to the elderly woman with him who's just frozen in terror.
* Jerome matter of factly asks a receptionist to tell her boss he's in. She runs off screaming.
-->'''Jerome''': Don't bother calling security, they're sort of...''(the woman screams off-screen)'' headless.
* The Riddle Factory. As in, the Riddler has set up his own ''game show'' promising cash to whoever can solve riddles which is the perfect insanity job for him.
* The punishments on the wheel include "having a live barracuda stapled to your face" and "sack of rabid rats".
-->'''Riddler''': My personal favorite!
* When Fries raises his hand, Jerome tells him to "put all questions on ice until the end".
* This exchange when Jerome holds Jeremiah hostage:
-->'''Jerome''': Get any closer and I splatter him! I'm gonna splatter broski!\\
'''Gordon''': No you won't. If you wanted him dead, you would've killed him already.\\
'''Jerome''': Hehehe... ''(deadpan face)'' he's right. I'll see you soon. ''(kisses his brother on the head)''

* Jerome actually forces a player of the festival band to play a drumroll for a big announcement.
* Penguin is not thrilled by Gordon telling him he's going to have to pilot a blimp over the river.
-->'''Oswald:''' Steer a blimp? Are you out of your mind, Jim? I don't even drive my own car!
* At the end of the episode, Oswald calls Gordon to ask if someone can get him down. It is hilariously comicbook-y.
** He then proceeds to have a tantrum, including head-banging and screaming, [[SayMyName "JIIIMMMM!"]] as the camera zooms away on the huge 'Gotham' blimp, while Penguin's leitmotif blares.
* Just as Bruce is looking at his cake, Selina pops in to blow out the candles.
-->'''Selina''': For a billionaire, your security is laaaaaaaaaaame!"
* Bruce's birthday party is interrupted by Gordon and company bursting in to ask Bruce if he could be a hostage for Jerome in order to possibly jam the signal on his explosive collar remote and save some other hostages. Alfred blusters and promptly calls the cops out on suggesting Bruce put himself in great danger at the hands of a homicidal maniac who has tried more than once to kill him already. Selina quips, "For once, I agree with Alfred!"
** FunnyBackgroundEvent: While everyone in the room is discussing the hostage situation, Selina casually continues eating birthday cake.
* Jerome characterizes Jeremiah as their mother's favorite because he cleaned his room, did his homework, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick didn't try to kill everyone]].
** During this little speech, you can hear someone in the crowd yell out: "Who cares?!"

* Oswald's reaction to Riddler and Lee being together.
--> '''Oswald:''' Oh. My. God. Are you ''kidding'' me?!
* It was Ed's turn to taunt the Riddler.
-->'''Ed:''' "Lee, what am I to you?" Does that sound like you to you? Because to me, that sounds like me.\\
'''Riddler:''' I'm not proud of that phrasing.
* Ra's confronts Barbara on misusing her gift.
-->'''Barbara''': You might have left a "how to" manuel.
* Alfred and Tabitha pretend to be a married couple as a distraction.
* While Selina justifies her actions to Bruce, Alfred repeatedly concedes that she has a point.
** Bruce's anger at Selina seems hilariously misplaced, since she handed over the knife ''at gunpoint''. As in, if she hadn't, she and possibly Bruce and Alfred too would have been shot. Though, in spite of her many good points, she fails to bring this up.
* Barbara stabs Ra's al Ghul with the Balahsi Blade in an attempt to kill him, but it doesn't work this time. Ra's merely responds with a mocking "Ouch."
* Selina teases Bruce about the un-stealthiness of his CoolCar due to its loud engine. Bruce promptly engages the quiet exhaust mode. Selina's look is somewhere between laughing at his geekiness and being impressed.
* Ra's al Ghul [[MomentKiller awkwardly interrupting]] Bruce and Selina's moment. Even more so once he tells Bruce that Selina was right when she said that Ra's likes Bruce, indicating that he'd been creepily watching them for a while.
* The fact that the proto-Batmobile gets ''stolen'' by Babs and Tabitha within days of Alfred giving it to Bruce.

[[folder: [[AC: 4x20 That Old Corpse]]]]
* Butch and Penguin spend a lot of time sniping at each other and have apparently been robbing liquor stores for money for groceries.
* The prisoner sitting in the back of the van is wrong a lot.
-->'''Prisoner:''' The Riddler! We're saved!
-->'''Riddler:''' (closes door)
-->'''Prisoner:''' (later) Penguin! We're saved!
-->'''Penguin:''' (grabs one guy and closes the door)
-->'''Other prisoner:''' You ever get tired of being wrong?
* When Penguin and Butch are torturing one of Jerome's followers:
-->'''Butch:''' Want me to shove chicken bones up his nose until he squawks?
-->'''Penguin:''' ''[[ActuallyPrettyFunny (Impressed)]]'' Yes! That will do!
-->'''Butch:''' ''(Grabs chicken bones from plate)'' Here comes the wing bone train!
-->'''Penguin:''' ''(Pumping his hand in the air)'' Choo-chooooooooo!
