1!!''Cranford'':
2* There was an incident when Mrs Forrester's tom-cat drank butter-milk with a super expensive lace. The aftermath might have gone too far when they tried to retrieve it, but the moment when they realized what had happened was priceless: "He's choking!"
3* The cow wearing flannel pyjamas. ItMakesSenseInContext, and it's hilarious. And for that matter, "Bessie dearest!"
4* Dr. Harrison mistakes Augusta Tomkinson for Caroline's mother. Offended, Augusta corrects him -- she's her ''sister''!
5* Martha is shocked to see Miss Matty wearing a thin shawl, "at your age".
6--> '''Miss Matty:''' At my age? ''At my age''? How old do you think I am, that you speak about my age?
7--> '''Martha:''' [[DiggingYourselfDeeper Well, some people do look older than they are.]]
8--> ''[Miss Matty gives her an offended look]''
9* Caroline and Miss Pole [[StealthInsult trade veiled insults]].
10--> '''Caroline:''' I hear your new bonnet will refresh you altogether.
11--> '''Miss Pole:''' ''[about a pattern Caroline was admiring]'' That would be perfect for Sophy Hutton. She has the youthful figure for it, and a waist like a wand.
12* Mrs. Forrester is not happy to see fashions from Paris in Mr. Johnson's store.
13--> '''Mrs. Forrester:''' Something has to be said! I am a woman of mild opinions, but I am sure we do not wish to be dressed as revolutionaries.

15!!''Return to Cranford'':
16* Miss Pole buys a cage, and after displaying it for all to see, she's told that it's actually an underskirt. Her reaction is hilarious. "BERTHA!"
