Stargate Universe/Funny
- Eli's running commentary of the Apocalyptic Log in "Time", but particularly.
[In the video, Rush runs off during a fire fight with alien creatures] |
- Also in the episode "Earth", in the first glitch with the communication stones. Colonel Young is having sex with his wife, when suddenly he and Telford switch consciousness for a few seconds, right at *ahem* a very important part in the action. When they switch back again, it goes something like this:
Scott: Telford? Sir? |
- In "Divided", the communication stones are used to bring a doctor from Earth. She becomes increasingly mortified by the weird conditions on the ship (alien venom as an anesthetic, a makeshift fiber optic camera made from a hovering camera ball, and the fact that the ship is being attacked). TJ simply responds, "Welcome to Destiny." Hmm, that has a certain ring to it.
- Chloe tries to justify having picked up archeology to Colonel Young, with Eli's help.
Eli: Say something archaeological. |
- Counts as an in-universe CMOF, as their rather long and awkward string of justifications ends with Young chuckling to himself once they leave the room.
- Later on, Eli claims that he called Greer out for being afraid as a joke. Because he thought that they were on that level in their relationship.
Greer: I'm going to stay up here and cover your backs. |
- Same episode, when the away team have to call in a rescue team due to the aftermath of a spider attack, and having to explain it to Young.
Scott: It was a sizable spider, sir. |
- O'Neill is good for these.
Telford: What makes us so special? |
- Greer vs. Alien Fruit. Both times ("Justice" and "Faith"). The first time, he pretends the "alien sweet potato" tastes delicious ( which was a little too generous). The second time, he eats a completely random fruit to the horror of the rest of the off-world team.
TJ: We don't even know if it's poisonous! |
- Greer vs. Alien Wildlife. "Is it something we can barbecue?"
- Then again, in "The Hunt": Greer and Varro are carrying a wounded corporal back to the gate. They suddenly see a "space deer". Next scene: "Becker's Barbecue" on Destiny.
- Eli and Young's exchange about the returning crew members' explanation in "Visitation."
Eli: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -Arthur C. Clarke |
- Apparently, Young starts to get how to make Eli understand what he wants (from "Resurgence"):
Young: (about how Eli should send a signal to an alien ship) "Ancient, English, Bat-Signal, and whatever else you've got." |
- Volker on seeing the alien ship in "The Greater Good"
Volker: (deadpan) "New friends. Yay." |
- In a later episode, when Rush dryly comments on their status, Brody joins in:
Rush: Well at least we have a full tank of gas.
Volker / Brody: Yaaaay. |
- The Kino mini-episodes can be full of funny:
- "We... turned him purple."
- Eli taking a Kino on a tour of the ship and getting lost.
Eli: And this room is... *looks around in confusion* I don't think I've been in here before... *wanders off camera* |
- Scott catching people watching South Park when they should be exercising, and how they get him to go away:
Scott: [About running two miles] I can do it under 23 minutes. |
- When Brody attempts to turn off Also Sprach Zarathustra in "Hope", the Numa Numa song comes on.
- Also in "Hope", this little exchange in the medlab:
Park: Still a lot of potential post-operative drawbacks. Infection, high blood pressure, erec..tile..dys..function...(trails off) |
- This:
Rush: You've come a long way from the videogame slacker I met one year ago. |
- Pretty much the entirety of "Common Descent" and "Epilogue," at least the parts that weren't Crowning Moments Of Heartwarming.
Volker: What's Rush's country called? Rushia? |
- When everyone realizes where Yaozu's little words of wisdom come from.
Yaozu: "It is easier to know where you are going if you know where you have been." Eli Wallace. |
- More Futura humor.
Volker: Maybe Futura helped. |
- The Pair the Spares moment.
Eli: Me and...Private Barnes? |
- One of the last Kino recordings is of Brody...complaining.
Brody: All these kids...running around, dancing. Always dancing. Tearing up my lawn! When I was a kid, people had respect-- (recording shuts off) |
