1The frequent GutPunch moments and near-constant NightmareFuel do nothing to stop the series being hilarious(usually in a [[BlackComedy pitch-black]] way).

6* John's famous speech at the Halloween dance manages to be this, a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, and NightmareFuel all at once.

10* While it gets [[HarsherInHindsight significantly less funny later]], John's first scene with The Cat is pretty amusing to anybody who has a cat and has had this same interaction-nay, ''conversation'' with theirs.
11* Forman imitating [[MamaBear April]].
12-->You learn a lot working at a police station, like the fact that a certain Mrs. Cleaver won't stop calling about her daughter's abusive boyfriend. 'Arrest him, shoot him, kill him!'
13* John and Marci tag-team snarking on their friends is HilariousInHindsight.
14-->'''Rachel:''' This place smells green. And a little brown, because of the smoke.\
15'''Brooke:''' Exactly!\
16'''Marci:''' Can you believe these two?\
17'''John:''' It must be some kind of shared delusion.

21* Most of John and Marci's interactions, really, but especially John's [[NotSoDire horrible idea of what being a boyfriend is.]]
22-->'''John:''' This means I have to give you some kind of cutesy nickname, right?\
23'''Marci:''' I don't think we have to go that far.\
24'''John:''' How about "sweetums"?\
25'''Marci:''' If you call me that again, I will find another date for homecoming so fast your head will spin.
26* There's something absurdly hilarious about the whole concept of the climax. Nobody [[spoiler:''dies'' because she just wanted to get in John's pants that bad.]] Gotta admire the dedication.

30* John reaches critical pettiness by adopting a dog to annoy his roommate.
31* His conversation over "the speed-bump test" with Elijah. John's problems are typically PlayedForDrama, so when he goes full HeroicComedicSociopath, it's absolutely priceless. And remember that all of this takes place in the middle of a tense firefight in a darkened SupervillainLair.
32-->'''John:''' ''[about Elijah getting shot]'' You'll be fine. I've seen you heal from worse.\
33'''Elijah:''' The only injury I've had that was worse was getting hit by that truck.\
34'''John:''' And you were fine.
