Law & Order: Criminal Intent/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


In New York City's war on crime, the worst criminal offenders are pursued by the detectives of the Major Case Squad. This is when the Squad has a bit of fun.

DUN-DUN!


  • From "Cherry Red":

Stan Coffman (to Detective Goren): You know, you're awfully snoopy!
Detective Eames: A lot of people point that out.

    • Also from "Cherry Red":

(Goren is enjoying his time behind the wheel of the cherry-red 1962 Ferrari GTO)
Eames: You have to come out now.

  • From "Chinoiserie":

Eames: George Weems. That's what it says on your SAG card. You look familiar.
Weems: I played the plump-and-happy raisin in a snack food commercial. Am I in trouble?
Eames: You tell us. You checked into a hotel under an assumed name, forged documents were delivered to your room, and an associate of yours is suspected of murdering a woman.
(Weems looks shocked)
Goren: You don't look so "plump-and-happy" now, George.

  • When Megan Wheeler's water breaks in "Major Case", Wheeler kind of stands there in stunned silence, not really making any noise. Eames walks into the room, notices the puddle on the floor, and calmly asks "What hospital?" As she's leading Wheeler out she glares at Nichols and Ross, rolls her eyes, and groans "Detectives!" as the two men stand around looking completely helpless and pretend nothing's happening.
  • Following a brawl between the NYPD and the FDNY, Logan and Wheeler are called into a hearing before the Police Commissioner. Megan paces nervously as you see her paper-thin disciplinary file. The camera then pans to Logan, lounging in his chair, with his own gargantuan file sitting infront of him.

Logan: What, Wheeler? Never had a departmental hearing before?

  • Pretty much anytime you see Goren dancing. From forcing a perp to tango with him in Pas de Dux to his little random dance when he pretends to be a mailman in Prisoner.
  • Hell, Robert Goren in general is just a whole package of funny and awesome. From using a forensics guy's head as a ladder to get a better view of the body, to explaining why he thinks "petite woman are a tight fit for small guys" and this little gem.
  • In "Best Defense" when Goren starts imitating a Camp Straight witness, while standing next to the man. Somehow, Eames manages to keep a straight face.
