• Funny Aneurysm Moment: In "Dave Barry's Guide to Guys" when discussing his fireworks-obsessed mechanic Ed:

"If those radical Muslim fundamentalist terrorists had Ed on their team back in 1992, the World Trade Center would now be referred to as the World Trade Pit."

• Hilarious in Hindsight: In a 1990 article about television ratings, he mentioned that if there was a program called "Eat Bugs For Money", everyone would watch it. Cue "Fear Factor" in 2001.
• Nightmare Fuel: "I'm holding his nose!" from Tricky Business.
  • Also, the cover of the book Dave Barry Talks Back features a picture of him holding the disembodied head of what looks like another Dave Barry, and they're making expressions of "comical surprise" at each other that look like Toshio Saeki in full-on "meow" mode.
• Reverse Funny Aneurysm: "The worsening economy takes center stage in February, when, amid much fanfare, Congress passes, and President Bush signs, an economic stimulus package under which the federal government will give taxpayers back several hundred dollars apiece of their own money, the idea being that they will use this money to revive the U.S. economy by buying TV sets that were made in China. This will seem much more comical in the fall."
