Black Butler may be a serious and sometimes rather dark series, but there are still many scenes that are sure to crack you up.

---

• Ciel and Sebastian come home to discover that the entire manor, servants included, has been cutesyfied by Lizzi.

Ciel:"My manor..."

• Just a bit later, Lizzy puts a frilly pink flowery bonnet on Sebastian's head. The servants are amused. He isn't.
• Ciel's inward horrified reactions at Viscount Druitt's advances in episode 4, as well as his reaction when he finds out Lizzy is there too.
• Sebastian training Pluto with a Carrot/Stick method.
• From the manga's circus arc, every instance of Ciel trying (and failing) to fit in with the circus troupe, from having to dress himself to having to peel potatoes for what is very likely the first time in his life.

Freckles:"Smile, what're you planning to make from them potatoes with peels thicker than the meat ?"

• From the same chapter, Sebastian and William find out they'll have to share a room.
• In episode 3 of Kuroshitsuji II, Ciel turns to talk to Sebastian...only to find him fawning over a group of cats with an awestruck expression on his face. Considering how cold and composed he normally is, the moment is absolutely priceless.
  • And Ciel does a Face Palm and says that Sebastian is a "cat obsessed moron" or a "neko Baka".
• During one episode of the first season, Sebastian explains why he has such a preference for cats over dogs to Ciel. After he finishes talking, Ciel, in a rare moment of humor, barks at him.
• In vol. 2 of the manga, Sebastian goes through his usual routine. All the other house staff come to him when something has gone wrong, and his inner thoughts on them are pretty humourous.

Sebastian (on Bardroy): The remaining 20% of your "food" has been hazardous waste. Sebastian (on Finny): I have seen many things in my long life, but this is the first time I've dealt with a creature from outer space.

• When Ciel is detailing the characteristics of a string of murder victims, Sebastian voices his affirmative in increasingly loud yeses. Ciel looks around to find his butler... fondling a cat with "black, midnight hair" and etc.
• Stoic and composed William T. Spears getting his glasses knocked off, the Velma style way he looks for them, and yelling at the brick wall he thinks is Ronald from episode 9 of the second season.
• Season 1 episode 14:

Ciel: "Have you concocted a curry better than Agni's yet?" (flashback shot of chibi Soma in a food coma) Sebastian: "No. According to Prince Soma, something is still lacking." Ciel: "Then get back to the kitchen and stop wasting your time making cakes. You have more important things to do." Sebastian: "Yes, I understand, my Lord." Ciel: "And anyway, I'm not really in the mood for chocolate right now. Drop it into the curry or something." Sebastian: "Indeed, my young master."

• • Gets even funnier in the next episode, when we see that in the curry competition, Sebastian really does put chocolate into his curry. And it works.
• We are... THE PHOENIX!!
• In chapter 37 Nina Hopkins states that she only likes boys and girls that are 15 years or younger, prompting Sebastian to comment that he does not need to know what she does in her spare time.
• Chapter 62. The poor owl.
• In one chapter Sebastian sits up in his coffin after faking his death, which results in Bard, Finny, Maylene, Lizzie, Agni, and the Prince tackle-glomping him. All while still in the coffin.
• Alois wearing Hannah's maid outfit.
• "Can I kill him?"
  • "Yeah, let's kill him right now."
• This may be the first manga to ever reference Groucho Marx. Also, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
  • I think you will find that it's actually Charlie Chaplin.
• Claude kisses Ciel's foot in Episode 10 of Season 2...and gets kicked in the face for it.
• While he was supposed to be faking his death, Sebastian risks exposing the whole scheme in order to... frantically hide a dozen cats in his wardrobe.
• At the end of "Solo Butler" (season 2, episode 2), Sebastian gives Ciel the following advice for handling Grell:

If your eyes happen to meet, don't break eye contact; just back away slowly and call out from a safe distance, "Say, have you gained weight?"

• Depending on your interpretation, the ending of season 2 is downright hilarious. Sebastian has to serve Ciel for all eternity, and will never have the chance to claim his master's soul? Classic. As this troper once heard someone say, "the ending of season 2 is basically Sebastian being tied to a chair and having a delicious cake set in front of him. And he never gets to eat it."
• Alois dancing around in the first episode and saying "Ole!"
• Sebastian explaining that in his dimension, the only pets they have are xenomorphs.
• The outtakes for season 2.
  • Ciel warning about Madam Red in a far higher pitch than normal (and in a sarcastic tone at that).
  • Sebastian's dirty limerick.
  • "An instrument maybe? MAYBE?!"
  • "I won't fall for the same trick. *falls down a trap door* And I just did." Bonus points if you remember that Claude has the same dub VA as Il Palazzo.
• Chapter 68: The constant use of the word fag. Though in this case it means "butler".
  • "It's fag time!"
