** Leg 3 Vietnam: Sid & Ash, the wannabe villain team, comically bicker and fail to row a boat with their feet. They decide to swap detours; with Sid jumping out and wading with the declaration that "we're not rowing back!". Only to find later that Jasmine and Jerome had U-turned them causing them to bicker more and stumble through the same task. Throughout this their course language is bleeped out and the locals laugh at the antics.

When trying to navigate to the pitstop, they are the one team who take the road to the summit instead, with the camera man panning across the location they should have gone to. It's only after they reach the summit that they ask a local who points out the location is back the way they came; letting out one last swear, they trek back down.

Funny moments in Season 4 & 5 Amazing Race Australia


!!International Versions:
* On The TAR Asia 3, there was a Detour where on option was to play Blackjack until you win 9 times while wearing lavish outfits. Vince and Sam got there first so they decided to mess with Henry & Bernie by switching the name tags on their clothes so it looked like the dress was for Henry and the tuxedo was for Bernie
* Hilda, from TAR Asia 4, borders between TheLoad, TheScrappy, and one of the funniest contestants that season. Highlights include being forced to repeatedly climb the steps of the Batu Caves when she keeps on writing down the wrong number of steps at the Roadblock, and convincing her husband to stroll with her to the pitstop on the second episode...with a team right behind them.

** In leg 5, Jasmine and Jerome, Viv & Joey and Femi & Nick claim the first bus. They apologize to Tom & Tyler who they know will catch up, but smiling on camera confess they are "secretly stoked" to be ahead of the most dominant team. They then state to each other that they would make a good final three, with Femi & Nick suggesting they split the money six ways, everyone bursts out laughing.
** When Tom & Tyler propose to form an alliance with Hayley & Mikayla they tease them with "Ooooh...Big Words!"

Tyler responds with: "Why does the word alliance scare you so much, it's like Tommy & the word Commitment?"; to which the girls laugh.

** In leg 7 (near the pitstop at Zambia elephant cafe): Teams are instructed to walk Not run to the pit stop.
On their brisk stroll Tim & Rod, jokingly ask Tom & Tyler just a few meters ahead of them to give them the leg, who respond that they already spent a long time looking at the waterfalls.

Femi & Nick have an odd half jog/half walk stroll to the pitstop where Beau congratulates them on not getting lost this time.
Sid & Ash lead to Jasmine & Jerome by forgetting to unlock the car to retrieve their bags (the boot door bouncing back and nudging Sid on the head as he opened it).
* The Amazing Race Australia (5):
** In leg 13, Stan & Wayne get comically lost. Parking in the bush, which gets lampshaded by the teams looking down from above as well as Stan & Wayne themselves.
Stan/Wayne:
"Hulk Smash!"
"I had to guide you, I was worried you were going to go off the side of a cliff"

* Leg 5 of TAR Canada features a challenge wherein the teams must perform a traditional Thai puppet show. The show is a three-person act and must be done in silence. Zed and Shabbir neglect to [[ReadTheFreakingManual read the latter part of the clue]], and repeatedly speak during the performance. At one point, when discussing their next attempt, they agree that they'll be able to succeed if they talk themselves through the steps. What makes it even funnier is the annoyed/exasperated look on their third puppeteer's face; it's a combination of WhatAnIdiot and "I am SO done."

Rachel and Elissa were genuinely trying to be polite and respectful but Eliza rolled her eyes at them.
