* Joseph Lawrence's sheer strangeness has you constantly off guard just as much as Emily, with Bradley Whitford having a blast introducing every new eccentricity. And in the Season 2 finale [[spoiler:it turns out he's with the resistance, but none of his personality is an act and he really, truly ''is'' that fucking weird, down to cautioning June and Emily to stay away from drugs as he delivers them to safety.]]

* Warren Putnam's less-than-helpful efforts to placate Fred's worries for Serena Joy and their unborn son's future. No doubt a RealitySubtext turned memetic inspired by a phenomenon of real-life politicians and pundits offering insincere platitudes in the face of widespread crises.

* A darkly hilarious moment after Holly's birth. Aunt Lydia [[PetTheDog praises Offred for her bravery in delivering the baby]], and mentions that several households now want her to be their next Handmaid. She then reveals a basket of muffins one household sent as a bribe, and encourages Offred to take one, saying, "You've earned it." Offred snarks that she deserves a whole cake, to which Lydia replies, "Prideful girls don't get anything." So Offred takes a muffin, and takes a bite as Lydia leaves.
-->'''Offred:''' ''(thinking)'' Bran. [[SarcasmMode Great]]. Praise fucking be.
