* While Kim is being chased by two Albanians across the rooftops, one of them tries to jump over a gap after her, and ends up with his throat smacking into a cable and falling to the ground. Whether he survived that fall or not may come off as BlackComedy.

* Bryan asks Kim if there is anything she'd like to do in Istanbul. Apparently, she'd like to go to a dance club! Bryan's miserable face as he's sitting at the bar of the dark, noisy club is pretty funny. Probably not the family-fun times he had in mind.

** Lennie pleading Bryan not to check his background is the topping of the ice cake.
*** Especially funny is the way she keeps trying to make him promise that he won't track down the boyfriend, and while Bryan claims he's going to give Kim her space, he won't quite promise...so Lenore calls Kim four times trying to warn her (Kim, answer your phone for once!).

* Bryan unloads his clip into Patrice Saint-Clair, who is lying in an elevator, and then leaves - followed by the elevator door obediently closing and making a contented "ding" sound.
* Jamie and Bryan meeting at the end. There's something hilarious about Liam Neeson's ''incredibly'' pissed off face.

* Marco the dumb rapist's long-overdue and well-deserved ElectricTorture sequence, particularly when he sees Bryan going for the light switch again, and he starts shaking his head and yelling "No!" through his gag. You spat in the guy's face a second time after he already zapped you for spitting in his face once; what'd you ''think'' he was gonna do this time, asshole?

* After a somewhat elaborate setup, Bryan sneaks into Kim's school to meet up with her in a stall in the women's bathroom. They share a tender moment... and then Kim tells Bryan that she's pregnant. The normally unflappable Bryan is floored. Even funnier is that he tries to play it off by claiming he had low blood sugar from not eating.
