• The best one in "The Deadly Attachment".

"Your name will also go on the list. What is it?" "Don't tell him Pike!"

• In the one where Mainwaring is marching the platoon along the watefront

• When actor James Beck was taken into hospital, Walker got a Written in Absence, leaving a note in his place on patrol to explain that he has gone to conduct "business" in London. A Crowning Moment of Funny ensues as Mainwaring reads out Walker's cockney slang in perfectly deadpan tones.
• In the episode "Boots, Boots, Boots", a shoes clerk mistakes Wilson and Pike for father and son. Wilson denies it, whilst doing a face-rubbing sort of gesture, whilst behind him, Pike is (inadvertently) doing the exact same thing in synchronization!
