Line 89:
** Every bit of "Bedtime" after the first 15 minutes. It's like the writers had a contest going to see how much narm they could cram into a single episode.
* ''[[Law and Order Criminal Intent]]'', "The Good Child". A murderer and his murderous mistress are betrayed by the mistress's kleptomania, as she stole an eggcup from the murder scene. The episode ends with the murderer being dragged away by the police, screaming "Eggcup!" over and over again.
** On another episode of "Criminal Intent" [[Special Guest|guest-starring]] [[Stephen Colbert]], the plot centered around an organization's attempt to push their namesake to sainthood. One plot point involved the main characters repeating the phrase "Goat Letter" every few seconds. "Goat letter" was [[Truth in Television]], since the episode was a [[Ripped from the Headlines|thinly disguised retelling]] of the [
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQm30mZZHwU Colbert's performance] is Narmful as well.

Line 272:
* On the old soap opera ''[[First Love]]'', a cliffhanger episode was supposed to end with Rosemary Priz's character telling Patrica Barry's character that "Chris cracked up his plane." She misread it as "Chris ''crapped'' up his plane." Even Barry laughed. On camera.
* ''[[Waking the Dead]]''. Peter Boyd's shouting.
* The whole "Black Widow of Las Vegas" episode of ''American Justice'', centered on [
* ''[[The Naked Brothers Band]]'': Aren't those kids kinda young to be singing songs about messy break-ups? Live your lives, damn it!
* ''[[Lost (TV)|Lost]]'': WAAAAAAALLLLLLTTTTTT!!!! WAAAAAAAALLLLLLLTTTTT!!!! WWAAAAAALLLLLTTTTT!!!! That storyline of Walt's kidnapping dragged....
Line 544:
** The third episode opens with the floating head of Maugrim, played by a man in an unconvincing wolf costume, suddenly and unexpectedly appearing and shouting "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR".
** "ASLAN'S ON THE MOOOOOOOOOOVE!"
* Episode seven of the third season of ''[[Fringe (TV)|Fringe]]'' revolved around the presence of a serial kidnapper who used the hormones of small children to keep himself from aging. Yet, every time he donned his silver mask, he bore a slight resemblance to [
** The apparent [[Big Bad]] of the third season, {{spoiler|the alternate universe Walter Bishop}}, is chilling, menacing, and altogether pretty scary. Or they would be, if it was possible to take anyone seriously when they're being called {{spoiler|Walternate}}. Punny [[Portmanteau]] names are not conducive to drama.
** One of the victims in a first-season episode hallucinates being attacked by a swarm of razor-edged ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t5RLpowQQU butterflies.]'' It's a bizarre notion, even for ''[[Fringe]]'', but the kicker is when the butterflies [[Doomy Dooms of Doom|of DOOM]] make him leap out a twentieth-story window in [[Slow Motion Fall|slow motion]], with [[Soundtrack Dissonance|oddly]] [[Crowning Music of Awesome|gorgeous music]] playing in the background. The whole thing is just so damn ''weird'' you don't know whether to laugh or be horrified anyway.
