1* After a long time of being TheQuietOne, Big E's hilariously awkward (first?) promo on RAW not long after his debut - in which he channels (or attempts to channel) Triple H and sets up with his [[Memes/{{WWE}} now immortal]], "OH I GOT THE MIC NOW" - definitely qualifies. Explaining it doesn't quite do justice to its awkwardness - just type the line into [=YouTube=]'s search engine and watch for yourself.
2** It's even more hilarious years later on a rewatch when you realize that he wasn't going over the top due to nervousness - in fact, he was ''toning himself down.''
3* Big E's Website/{{Twitter}} account - but especially his running repartees with Wrestling/DolphZiggler, Wrestling/AJLee, and Wrestling/{{Kaitlyn}}, which tend to be chock full of witty exchanges and {{Continuity Nod}}s.
4* He tricked Wrestling/VickieGuerrero into putting him into the main event match after Wrestling/TheMiz was taken out by Wrestling/TheWyattFamily. When she wants to talk to Wrestling/TripleH about it, he says "Aren't you the Smackdown general manager? Or did I walk into the office of Brad Maddox?"
5* After successfully retaining his Intercontinental Championship against Curtis Axel at Survivor Series 2013 in Boston, he was interviewed in the ring by Renee Young, and he stated that, "It's great to be here [[CheapHeat in Boston]] (crowd cheers), and I don't mean to pander to the crowd here...[[LampshadedTrope in Boston]] (crowd cheers), but me defending the Intercontinental Title here feels like [[NarmCharm DAVID ORTIZ WINNING THE WORLD SERIES!]] (crowd goes crazy)
6* Him and Wrestling/{{Sheamus}} appearing in a K Mart commercial and jokingly argue about whose stuff is better.
7* You may need the WWE Network to watch it, but Big E's press conference reaction to his loss at Extreme Rules is pretty hilarious.
8* His {{Eagleland}} promo in his match against Rusev at Wrestling/MoneyInTheBank.
9* Big E {{No Sell}}ing a bucket that gets bounced off his head. He barely flinches, and then just has this look of 'Did you seriously just throw a bucket at my head?'
10** He has much the same reaction to Wrestling/RicFlair throwing his jacket at him and getting knife-edge chopped.
11* He gets a KickTheDog moment played for laughs when he takes Teddy Long's cheeseburger and eats it in front of him.
12* A vast majority of ''anytime he holds a microphone up to his mouth'' in Wrestling/TheNewDay.
13* When he was down with an injury in May 2019, his Twitter went from hilarious to straight-up comedic gold. The crowner has to go to his, um, [[https://twitter.com/WWEBigE/status/1126532793574535168 deep and abiding appreciation]] of Wrestling/BeckyLynch's [[StacysMom mama]].
14* In the ''Escape the Undertaker'' Netflix film, Big E goes to a room where there are three World Championship belts -- Undertaker 30th Anniversary belt, the original World Heavyweight Belt and Steve Austin's Smoking Skull belt -- displayed. His only remark is that "he needs one of these" which is much more hilarious cause he obtained one weeks before the film debuted!
15* His further work online is absolute gold; when asked on the New Day's podcast about his dream match, the rest of the gang can barely keep themselves together as he creates the preamble to his reveal that his dream match is himself vs. Goldberg...and his dream tag team match is himself, Goldberg...and two other Goldbergs. His rationale is something else:
16--->'''Big E, audibly {{Corpsing}}:''' That's right! I don't wanna hear any of you talkin' about no ''Workrate''! And how guys are in the ring, and ''Moonsaults''! I don't care about ''any'' of that, y'heard? Y'all wanna great match? Nah. Bump that. I wanna see...TWO MEN...WITH BIG CHESTS...AND BIG MUSCLES...BUMPIN' '''MEAT.'''
17--->'''The rest of the podcast:''' ''(doubled over in laughter, including Xavier pleading for mercy)''
18--->'''Big E:''' That's why I'm here. That's why I watched wrestling as a kid. You want your five star matches? You want your thirty minute classics? Not me. BIG MEATY MEN SLAPPIN' MEAT. That's what I want.
19** On a later Podcast when the New Day were voting on what they thought the best TV Show of all time was. When they got to Series/TheWire vs Franchise/LawAndOrder Big E was seconds away from voting for The Wire when Xavier mentioned [[Recap/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS8E13Loophole The SVU episode Goldberg appeared on.]] Despite having never seen the episode in question, Xavier's summary was enough to get him on the literal edge of his seat and to change his entire vote just because Goldberg was on the show for five minutes.
20--->'''Kofi:''' You had your entire vote locked in! The Wire!
21--->'''Big E:''' Yes.
22--->'''Kofi:''' And based on this story you're just going to change your vote immeditely?
