• Kincaid accidentally blows up Watson's chemistry experiment and then tries to act it's not his fault despite the soot on his face.
• As Watson rants about Kincaid's performance, Kincaid is casually playing his violin. Then he stops playing, and the music still going, revealing that it's coming from a Beginner's Violin lesson record.
  • For extra points, Kincaid's cavalier response to Watson's rants makes his violin-playing come across as playing a World's Smallest Violin.
• Kincaid claims that after years of watching Watson, he knows how to do his own Sherlock Scan. When they hear footsteps coming upstairs, claims he can tell it is a stout middle-aged woman (a description that fits their landlady, the most likely person to be coming upstairs). It turns out that he is wrong and finds himself faced with a group of skinny children.
• Kinaid apparently once misread a cribnote and said a victim was "beaten to death with a blunt excrement."
• Kincaid angrily sums up a setback. "Well, this will be a first for your readers, Watson. A Sherlock Holmes story where Lestrade solves the bloody case!"
• After hearing that one suspect (who is fond of As the Good Book Says... quotes) has been acting oddly, Watson says they need to talk to the man. Kincaid says that he doesn't see the point, as he has no patience with religious talk.
• Lestrade crawling around the floor, covertly trying to learn from "Holmes" (who is just putting on a show) despite his constant dismissal of Kincaid/Holmes.
• When an admirer in a pub asks Kincaid if he is Sherlock Holmes, Kincaid recalls the last time someone asked him that and says that depends on whether he recently sent any of the man's relatives to prison.
• Kincaid gets the words mamba and mambo mixed up while recalling a past case. Even after being told one is a dance and one is a snake, he still doesn't know the difference and tries to mix in elements of both while recalling the story.
• After finding a drowned corpse, the only deduction Kincaid can make on his own is that the man is dead.
• As a Funny Background Event, Watson talks about how Moriarty's men stealing from a crate of shoes is a sign of bad morals, while Kincaid spends that speech looking at that same crate and seeing if the shoes fit him.
• In his first real Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass moment, Kincaid tries to shoot Moriarty during the dock shootout. The bullet ricochets, hits a rope holding up a net, and dumps trash on Kincaid.
• After Holmes tries to hang himself but uses too much rope, Mrs. Hudson asks what Watson would have done. Holmes says he would have kicked out the chair.
• Kincaid's best "dedution" about Moriarty being "His real name is Arty Morty!"
• Kincaid's description of the In-Universe Narm in the last play he acted in.
  Kincaid The Shadow of Death. The gripping drama was the last play presented at the Orpheum. It closed after only one night, but not without garnering some praise. Harris in the Daily Telegram said, 'In an otherwise dismal evening, Reginald Kincaid provided some welcome laughs.'
  Wiggins: Laughs? You said it was a gripping drama!
  Kincaid: It's unimportant now, isn't it?
• Kincaid tries to grab a sword to duel Moriarty while scoffing "Buffoon, is it" after being insulted. However, he pulls out an umbrella instead of a sword on his first try. Then, once he does find a sword and proves good with it, Watson, Mrs. Hudson, and the Gileses have a Pass the Popcorn reaction.
• The woman Kincaid seeks some Rescue Romance with turns out to be a crossdresser and dryly observes,"You're disappointed, aren't you?"
• Watson and Holmes each spend hours figuring out the meaning of the mysterious numbers left behind. After rescuing the kidnapped victim, they both proudly talk of how they went through the maze of clues, deductions and such to figure out the obscure meaning of what those numbers meant. Staring at them, the victim flatly says he was just leaving behind the address of the warehouse he was being held at.
