* "k3rnel-pan1c" has Elliot's Adderall trip, which straddles the line between funny and [[NightmareFuel disturbing.]] Of note are his over-the-top interest in Leon's {{Series/Seinfeld}} philosophy, his wonder at the cleanliness of his dishes ("Damn, these dishes look immaculate!"), his enthusiastic repetitions of "AMEN!" in his church group, and his uncharacteristic excitement at a basketball game ([[ChewingTheScenery "WHOOOO! SLAAAAM DUNK!"]]). It's both hilarious and creepy seeing Elliot express so much outward emotion.

* The season 3 premiere has Elliot waking up in Angela's apartment [[spoiler: a week after getting shot.]] He's about to leave when he realizes he doesn't have a shirt, and asks Angela if she has anything. The next scene has Elliot walking out of the building wearing a white shirt that says "[[CallBack Property of Josh Groban]]".
* The montage in "Undo", particularly the way it cuts from Elliot's bosses palming off his concerns to him immediately hacking them and exposing their misdeeds to the [=FBI=].

** First, in a great example of [[BlackComedy black comedy]], he rants to a bound Trenton and Mobley how {{Series/Frasier}} completely turned him off of television, all while [[spoiler: sitting in front of the dead housemate he had just brutally murdered]]. After that he continues his rant talking about an under-appreciated gem of a series that helped him recover from his distaste in television. The show in question? [[spoiler: {{Series/Knightrider}}]].
** Shortly after as [[spoiler: Trenton and Mobley try to escape Leon by stealing his car as he's distracted]] he turns around and looks ''mildly annoyed''. Topping it off is the two [[spoiler: plowing into a rock and disabling the car due to their panic and not knowing how to drive]] and Leon's [[DeadpanSnarker reaction to it]].
-->'''Leon''': "That's no way to treat a caddy..."

* Price unceremoniously giving Tyrell the now-meaningless [=CTO=] position he spent all of the first season fighting for is grimly hilarious.
* While [[spoiler: Irving butchering Santiago with an axe]] is quite possibly the [[{{Gorn}} bloodiest]] moment in the entire show, there is plenty of BlackComedy gems throughout the scene thanks to Irving's [[LargeHam hilariously over-the-top delivery]] of his threats mixed in with [[{{Joisey}} his accent]] between each [[spoiler:axe swing.]]

* When Elliot wakes up [[spoiler: where the power plant used to be]], he immediately acknowledges the impossibility of the situation and calls her crazy. He then immediately [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] his own mental state.

* In "h1dden-pr0cess", while Elliot is trying to track Tyrell's location, Sutherland gets uncharacteristically chatty and starts telling anecdotes about his old jobs. Elliot narrates "Oh God, he wants to have a heart-to-heart," and tunes Sutherland out.

* In the same episode, Lloyd's... ''interesting'' way of describing a rootkit: "It's like a crazy serial rapist with a super big dick!" Even funnier is Angela's exasperated response: "''Jesus'', Lloyd!"

*Elliot and Mr. Robot literally fighting for control in "Kill Process" really heightens the physical comedy of the show. At one point, Elliot passes by someone who asks if he's ok. He says he's fine, then proceeds to throw himself into a wall. Then later, he's in a server room in front of a computer, with another employee sitting nearby nervously glancing at him. When Elliot tries communicating with Mr. Robot by typing a note to him on the computer, the latest glitch shows Elliot suddenly standing over a smashed computer. The aforementioned employee is also shown running out of the room as fast as he can, even tripping over a trash can on his way out. Even better, Elliot just blithely responds "I guess he didn't like my note".
