9!!Movies:
10!!!'''''Film/SawI'':'''
11* Most of Adam's lines to Lawrence throughout the first half of the film could be considered comedic gems.
12-->"Nothing. I went to bed in my shithole apartment, and woke up in an actual shithole. What about you?"\
13"My name is Very Fucking Confused! What's ''your'' name? What's going on here?"\
14"I'm having a blast! This is the most fun I've had without lubricant!"\
15''[When Lawrence insists Adam has been hiding things from him]'' "Oh, well, let's see. On my sixth birthday, my best friend at the time, Scott Tibbs, stabbed me with a rusty nail, I didn't tell you about that. I didn't tell you that my last girlfriend was a feminist vegan punk who broke up with me because she thought I was too angry. I also haven't told you that one of my toenails is slight--"\
16"I don't give a crap if you covered yourself in peanut butter and had a 15-hooker gangbang!"\
17[[ItMakesSenseInContext "Give me that sweet cancer!"]]
18* When Adam searches the toilet for anything that might help Lawrence and he escape, he first dunks his hand into the filthy bowl, eventually coming up empty handed. He then checks inside the clean tank and immediately finds the bag Jigsaw left for them. He dryly remarks, "Wish I'd checked in there first."
19* Adam's BadBadActing when he tries to convince whoever's watching that he's actually dead.
20
21!!!'''''Film/SawII'':'''
22* On second viewings, realizing that when Jigsaw says that Daniel is "in a safe place", he's basically giving Matthews a clue by way of a ''[[{{Pun}} dad joke]].''
23* Addison and Xavier have a brief fight:
24-->''[Xavier is repeatedly whacking a door with a baseball bat with nails on it - it isn't working, everyone's watching]''
25-->'''Addison:''' Well, we've established that the macho bullshit approach isn't opening the door. Any other suggestions?
26-->'''Xavier:''' ''[turns round to Addison]'' Look who's talking! The only door you know how to open ''is between your legs!''
27** Made even funnier by the fact that Frankie G [[ThrowItIn improvised that line]].
28* When Eric Matthews is giving John an epic NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, John makes this admittedly pretty hilarious quip:
29-->'''John:''' Now ''that's'' the Eric Matthews [[PoliceBrutality they gave]] [[CrossesTheLineTwice medals to]].
30
31!!!'''''Film/SawIII'':'''
32* While Lynn is operating on John.
33-->'''Lynn:''' John, how're we doing?\
34'''John:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Never better.]]
35* While Lynn and Amanda are arguing in a room filled with unused traps.
36-->'''Amanda:''' I'm sorry, I know it's hard to concentrate when you're surrounded by so many things you could kill me with.
37** Followed by Amanda offering Lynn an axe and [[HannibalLecture talking her through]] why killing them and escaping is a truly ''[[ExplosiveLeash terrible]]'' idea. You get the impression that Amanda is trying not to laugh the whole time.
38
39!!!'''''Film/SawIV'':'''
40* Strahm's complete and utter exasperation with Jill when she refuses to give a straight answer during her interrogation:
41-->'''Strahm:''' That's sweet, Miss Tuck, but if you love the guy so much why leave him?\
42'''Jill:''' He left me long before I left him.\
43'''Strahm:''' Okay, people break up, relationships end, it's called life. ''He'' started ''massacring'' people.\
44'''Jill:''' Gideon meant everything to him.\
45'''Strahm:''' Gideon? I'm sorry, who?\
46'''Jill:''' Do you know anything about the Chinese zodiac?\
47'''Strahm:''' Aw Jill, no, ''no''-
48
49!!!'''''Film/SawV'':'''
50* When Brit and Mallick realize that [[TeamSpirit everyone was supposed to work together, and that three people have needlessly died]].
51-->'''Mallick:''' Whoops...
52-->'''Brit:''' Yeah, big fucking whoops!
53
54!!!'''''Film/Saw3D'':'''
55* Just how quickly and [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe brutally]] Brad and Ryan subvert LoveMakesYouDumb in the opening trap.
56-->'''Dina:''' '''WHAT ARE DOING, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES?!'''
57-->'''Ryan:''' (''furiously'') [[PreMortemOneLiner I think we're]] ''[[PreMortemOneLiner breaking up]]'' [[PreMortemOneLiner with you, Dina.]]
58* The conclusion to the Horsepower Trap. The run-up was creepy, but this part [[{{Narm}} just comes off as]] [[BuffySpeak slapsticky]].
59** Evan's screams of pain/fear sound very similar to [[Music/LinkinPark Chester Bennington]]'s on-stage sing-screams, which can also make the scene hilarious.
60
61!!!'''''[[Film/Spiral2021 Spiral]]'':'''
62* When Zeke comes home and senses that someone might be in his apartment, he has his gun at the ready just in case… only for it to be his father Marcus, which leads to the following exchange. It’s the delivery between Creator/SamuelLJackson and Creator/ChrisRock that makes it.
63-->'''Marcus:''' You pulled a ''gun'' on your old man? Are you out of your fucking mind? I could’ve killed you!\
64'''Zeke:''' What are you talking about? I got the gun.\
65'''Marcus:''' (''holds up his own gun'') I could’ve ''killed'' you.
66* At the end of the film, after the SWAT team unintentionally activates Marcus' trap and his restraints begin lifting him up again, out of a mixture of drowsiness and shock, he can't help but wonder aloud, "The ''fuck'' goin' on?" -- and given it's Creator/SamuelLJackson saying it, it makes for a [[{{Bathos}} weirdly funny bit in an otherwise extremely dire scene]].
67
68!!!'''''Film/SawX'':'''
69* Cecilia asks John what he does for a living, and he responds that he's a [[ExactWords sort of life-coach]] who [[MetaphoricallyTrue helps people work through their emotional issues.]]
70* When John gives Valentina the tools needed for her game, he gives her the usual Jigsaw explanation:
71-->'''John:''' The key to your freedom is inside that box.
72--> ''(Valentina looks into the box, only to find a tourniquet and a Gigli saw.)''
73-->'''Valentina:''' What the hell is that?
74-->'''John:''' It's a Gigli saw.
75-->'''Valentina:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I thought you said there was a key?]]
76-->'''Amanda:''' He was speaking metaphorically. [[LampshadeHanging He does that a lot.]]
77** Amanda then provides additional "translation" for John when he explains the outcome of Valentina's trap in fairly {{expospeak|Gag}} fashion.
78--->'''Valentina:''' Are you fucking crazy? What makes you think I’d fucking cut off my own leg?\
79'''John:''' Because if you don’t, the wire saw that’s wrapped around your neck will first cut into your skin, then your vertebral ligaments, and finally, it’ll sever your spinal cord.\
80'''Valentina:''' ''(whimpering)'' No!\
81'''Amanda:''' The [=CliffsNotes=] version? [[OffWithHisHead It’s gonna cut your head off.]]
82!!Video games:
83* In the second game, Michael finds out that one of the things he has to do is blow open a gate with chemical explosives. It's all in the delivery: he just doesn't sound surprised anymore at how his night's turning out.
84-->'''Michael:''' Great, now I'm making bombs. [[SarcasmMode This is a good idea.]]
85
86!!DVD extras:
87* On the first movie's unrated edition DVD:
88** The commentary track, with Leigh Whannell, Cary Elwes, and James Wan. They have a total blast and mock the film a ton, as well as share several funny stories. And Cary even does a Marlon Brando impression. Apparently Leigh was the production team's ButtMonkey as well:
89--->'''James Wan:''' We peed in the bathtub. We all took turns peeing in there. We told Leigh it was Lipton Tea.
90** The Easter eggs. Of particular mention is "Saw in 60 seconds," where the whole movie is reenacted with '''BARBIE DOLLS''', and the cast and crew talk about Billy the Puppet as if he's an actual actor.
91** While the credits roll during the commentary, Leigh says that he's invented a drinking game based on ''Saw'': finish your shot every time, while watching the commentary, James mentions how he only had 18 days to film the whole movie.
92--->"I call it the Saw 18 days drinking game."
