Go To

1* At the end of "Malibu Fire", in keeping with the RunningGag of Mark being mistaken for Creator/PeterGraves (and Amanda for Music/WhitneyHouston), Jesse is mistaken by that same reporter for Creator/MichaelJFox. Rather than deny it, Jesse instead launches into a ''hilarious'' on-the-spot impression.
2* The end of one episode where the killer is a con artist who'd been posing as a doctor. He and his female accomplice are about to escape in a private plane when Mark and the cops bust them. Mark tells the woman she should be thanking him as her partner "is no more a licensed pilot than he is a licensed doctor" and she realizes the guy barely knew how to fly.
3* The entirety of Randy Wolfe's character in "A Mime is a Terrible Thing to Waste." The woman is just this crazy blend of GenkiGirl, GranolaGirl, and BadassAdorable, as well as being a JackOfAllTrades.
4* ''All'' of Tim Conrad's inept attempts to kill Harvey Huckaby.
5* In the episode "The Busy Body", while dining out, a female cop approaches Mark telling him he's under arrest, his bafflement turning into mortification as she quickly reveals she is actually a stripper someone hired for him. He is visibly trying to slide under the table while Jack has a laugh at his expense. And to top it all off, she handcuffs him to the table - with actual handcuffs, not trick ones.
6* "Till Death Do Us Part" is an absolute goldmine of comedy, from the over-the-top fantasy of the two murderers perfect crime to having ''every single step go completely wrong'' in reality.
7* "A Very Fatal Funeral" centers on the board members of a charity being murdered at the funerals of the last one to be killed. By the time of the last member's funeral, the priest speeds through the last rites and books it the second he's done.
8* In "My Four Husbands", Mark enlists Norman and Delores to investigate a lawyer's office in attempts to clear Pamela Dorn. While in the office, someone starts coming through the door, so they hide under the lawyer's desk. The ones coming through the door turn out to be a security guard and maid, who proceed to have sex on the desk with Norman and Delores trapped underneath. Their faces are a picture.
9* In "Murder Two: Part Two", Matlock shows a witness on the stand a receipt for another character's stay at a motel. One of the charges on the receipt is a pay-per-view of "''[[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney]] Meets Franchise/{{Godzilla}}''". What on ''Earth'' could be happening in ''that'' movie?
10* Everything about [[ShowWithinAShow Dr. Danger]] in the "Trash TV" two-parter is hilariously inaccurate to Mark Sloan's exploits (to his chagrin), from Mark being reimagined into a dashing young man with the name of Dr. [[MyNaymeIs Sloane]] who [[HotterAndSexier sleeps with his female patients]], to him casually violating the Hippocratic Oath by shooting villains, to Jesse appearing as an ass-kicking [[GenderFlip female version]]. Then, when the lead actor Derek Shaw unexpectedly gets killed, the show's producer decides to ''[[DescendedCreator take his place]]'' as Dr. Sloane (at least until he seemingly shoots one of the extras on-set by mistake).
