CSI: Crime Scene Investigation/Funny: Difference between revisions

* Jim Brass' face as he closes his phone in "Ending Happy" after finding out that the ''third'' consecutive person he's gotten to confess is not in fact the murderer.

** In fact, "Ending Happy" is this through and through.

** The whole [[Epic Fail]] attempt by the gang-bangers to rob the taco man arguably also counts as both a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] and a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] at the same time. The gang-bangers pull out their knives and threaten the taco man, who's not impressed. He stabs one of them with a carving knife and whacks the other one in the face with a pan of hot grease, causing them to run away. When Grissom asks the taco man why he didn't report it to the police, the taco man replies that the police have enough things to do, and this incident wasn't even worth bothering them.

** Similarly, we have Catherine's reaction to what happened to the wrinkled-skin guy in "73 Seconds." The victim's friend, a rural gas station owner, explains that {{spoiler|the victim was gored by a deer the two were trying to dress, only to have it turn out [[Not Quite Dead]]. He then tries to [[Too Dumb to Live|clean out the wound with a high-pressure air hose]], but the nozzle gets stuck and, well, he ''inflates'' himself to death. The gas station owner dumped the body because having a corpse around would be bad for business, and besides the deer that started the whole mess was out of season.}} The [[Flat What]] expression on Catherine's face as she hears this litany of common sense fail is priceless.

** Also, the culmination of the [[Running Gag]] of Bobby being set up as the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naFs10A4Hls "killer"].

** Or the autopsy [[Running Gag]], brought to its logical and hilarious conclusion when Hodges is the victim:

'''Robbins:''' "'''OUT!!'''" }}

** Just the parts with Grissom, David, Doc Robbins, and the rat in the morgue and the hazmat suits makes this troper keel over with laughter.

* "Unfriendly Skies": Grissom and Sara discover semen in an airplane restroom, leading to a conversation about the Mile High Club.

'''Sara:''' Delta airlines, flight 1109, Boston- Miami, March 93, Ken Fuller, hazel eyes, organic chem lab TA BMOC, overrated, in every aspect. Could we get back to work please? }}

* The third-season episode ''The Last Laugh'' had Jim Brass reopen the case of a woman who had apparently accidentally drowned in her bathtub, leading the husband to claim a $750,000 life insurance policy. With the help of Nick and Sara, Brass finds a number of holes in the husband's story, enough to prove that she didn't drown accidentally but not enough to charge the husband with his wife's death. The husband and his lawyer are smugly walking out of police headquarters when they see the husband's Ferrari being towed away.

'''Brass''': That's present tense. }}

* Brass questioning a man for what seems like a standard murder. Cut to the morgue with a female deer on the autopsy table in a cocktail dress. And Doc Robins taking pictures for his scrapbook.

* The episode "Wild Life." In the case where a couple is mysteriously killed in their home, the culprits {{spoiler|turn out to be the parrot and cat they owned.}} Brass' expressions during the whole [[Necro Cam]] are priceless.

* The third season episode Fight Night begins with a boxer's death. When Grissom comes to investigate, he begins to make his famous episode intoducing one liner bofore the opening begins. The cutaway music begins to play, only for Grissom to get a call that he's needed elsewhere. The music stops (with a sound effect, I might add), and for a second, Grissom looks slightly confused and almost disappointed that he couldn't make his one liner. He doesn't get to start the opening theme with a one liner until two crime scenes later.

* The titular crime in "Stealing Home" manages to [[Crosses the Line Twice|cross the line twice.]] The entire ''damn house'' is gone. ''Somehow.''

** The house was eventually found, with a guy, complete with red shoes, stuck under it. The dialogue made this scene.

[[Deadpan Snarker|"I have a feeling]] [[Wizard of Oz|that we're not in Kansas anymore."]] }}

* The episode "Poppin' Tags" features Dollar, an in-universe rap star who was assaulted, forced into women's lingerie (for the entire Internet to see), shot, and stuffed in a trunk in the...well, trunk of his own car. When Jim and Nick find him and offer to get him out of there to get medical attention, his response is ''classic.''
