* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CVbqsKA1AA The comedy show segment]].
** There's a guy in a monkey suit involved, just to make things ''completely'' random. Creator/StephenFry even throws a BananaPeel in there to underscore how ridiculous the whole issue is.
** The cut to Sutler reveals his furious reaction to him being made fun of. He shatters AGlassInTheHand... [[ItMakesSenseInContext a glass filled with milk]]!
** Mock!V's antics in general. He's acting like a Looney Tunes character throughout the whole segment.
*** A particularly good bit is when Gordon yells out that "V" is in the studio, pointing him out among the band where he's playing a washboard with a fork. He keeps playing for another few seconds as he realises he's been found and then gives one last dejected scrape of the washboard. "Sutler" tries to get up and apprehend "V" himself, but "V" tied his shoelaces together a few minutes ago and, complete with cartoon sound effects, he falls flat on his face, leading in to the Benny Hill-like chase scene (SoundtrackDissonance/YaketySax included) with the guy in the gorilla suit.
** And then there's the skit's climax. After Gordon throws the banana peel onto the stage, V slips on it and gets dogpiled by the soldiers. Sutler then unmasks him, revealing another Sutler. Both Sutlers accuse each other of being a fake, and after a brief scuffle, order the soldiers to execute the fake, which ends with both of them dead. To top it all off, after Gordon takes a bow, a ''third'' V pops up from behind the backdrop, waggling a cigar like Groucho Marx and dubbed with a Bugs Bunny laugh!
* At the beginning, right after V has given his v-filled introduction.

** For that matter, Prothero's death has a funny moment. Being a vain piece of shit, he's watching his most recent televised rant in the shower, echoing and agreeing with himself about how he wishes he could have been at Jordan Tower to punch out V himself, all but calling himself a badass. He gets to the end of the recording, and his shower, and turns it off. He sees V reflected in the TV screen and is immediately terrified, falling on his ass. Not so tough now, huh?

* V's "sword fight" against the suit of armor while watching ''The Count of Monte Cristo'', increased tenfold by his awkwardness once he realizes that he's being watched by Evey.

to:

* Evey and V are watching the news of Prothero's death, read by her colleague at BTN. Evey knows she is lying about his death being natural causes because that particular newsreader always blinks a lot when reading something she knows is untrue. The newsreader then says Prothero will be badly missed, at which she blinks rapidly and repeatedly.
* Earlier Dascomb and Finch are standing over Prothero's body while Dascomb is wondering how to spin it to the public. He suggests "a quiet, dignified death in his sleep" before glancing down at the blood-flecked vomit around Prothero's corpse and looking both dubious and nauseated.
