1* As terrible as the episode was, Troy and Dillan's first encounter with a revolving door in "The Super Scouts" is surprisingly hilarious.
2--> '''Dillan''': (''walks through door, but doesn't get out at the right moment ending up back outside'')
3--> '''Troy''': (''dumbfounded'') What happened?
4--> '''Dillan''': Wha.. I don't know. I went in and it threw me right back out.
5--> '''Troy''': It threw you out?
6--> '''Dillan''': Troy, you don't suppose they got some kind of "alien detector" do you?
7** When Troy tries the door next, he doesn't fare much better.
8* There were a few genuinely funny moments in "The Night the Cylon's Landed".
9** The partygoers are asked to describe the Cylon they saw. And they mention the drifting laser light eye.
10---> "Voom, voom. Voom, voom."
11** "Andy" meeting human children (obviously for the first time).
12---> '''"Andy"''': Happy Halloween, little people.
13** We also learn that Cylons are vulnerable to microwave ovens. Now all the fleet needs to do is pop into a kitchen supply store, and they'll win the war.
14* Starbuck and his Cylon pal Cy get a few, in what may be the only decent ''Galactica 1980'' episode.
15** When Cy is explaining why his Raider crashed, Starbuck jokingly asks if someone in the three-Cylon crew pulled out the manual. Cy (completely missing the mockery) confirms that they did, but it did ''not'' help. He goes on to show why flying a starfighter by committee doesn't work:
16---> '''Cy''': We were taking a vote when the ground came up and hit us.
17** Starbuck tells Cy that the (pregnant) human woman they've discovered is going to give birth to yet another human. His response?
18---> '''Cy''': I am rapidly being surrounded.
19** The humor is a bit darker, bordering on FridgeHorror, but... one almost has to laugh at the absurdity of it all when Starbuck's [[ArmorPiercingQuestion innocent question]] reveals that the Cylons haven't given any thought to [[AndThenWhat what they're going to do]] once the universe is finally "organized."
20---> '''Cy''': ... I don't recall anyone ever asking that question.
21** Cy also has a very quintessentially robotic PreMortemOneLiner as he [[YouShallNotPass confronts]] the arriving Cylon Centurions to make his HeroicSacrifice. After he gets them to lower their weapons [[CuttingTheKnot by simple instruction]], they ask him where "the human" is, whereupon he replies:
22---> '''Cy''': I extend my weapon, that I may perform the following function.\
23''(Uses his [[RayGun sidearm]] to gun down two of the Centurions, before the third shoots him)''
