The A-Team/Funny
TV series
- In the fifth season, the Team have been captured and are facing a firing squad. Each has an Imagine Spot about ways to escape the situation. BA's is that Murdock flies in with a chopper ready to rescue him. But instead of pulling BA up right away, Murdock tries to get him to agree to more and more demands, like moving in with him. Eventually, BA jumps back down and tells the squad to go ahead and shoot.
- After the team is exposed to radiation:
 |
Frankie: I wanted to have kids. Do you think we can still have kids, Murdock? |
 |
- Anything Murdock does. But special mention goes to the time he helped a client escape her evil fiance by taking her place in the wedding. During his getaway, he stops to shake an elderly guest's hand:
|
Murdock: Thanks so much for coming to my wedding! I love your dress! [runs off, wedding dress and veil billowing out behind him] |
|
- Even funnier is Murdock, still in the wedding dress, running after the catering truck that the rest of the team is using as a getaway vehicle, and Face leaning out the back of the truck, shouting, "Come to me, my precious!"
- And later in the episode, he writes the villain a letter of apology for leaving him at the altar.
|
Hannibal: He was lucky to have you. |
|
- One episode, Labor Pains, has Murdock fooling around with a ouija board the whole time. At the end, he goes into another "trance" and begins to intone "Decker is coming, Decker is coming...". BA is fed up and just as things are about to get ugly, they hear sirens. Cue incredulous expressions from everyone except Hannibal- whose face just screams Oh Crap.
- Lynch and his right-hand MP, in One More Time:
|
MP: Well, Colonel Lynch, chasing Hannibal Smith as much as we have, I've come to appreciate his sense of humor.
MP: Well no sir, I don't think that's funny. |
|
- Murdock, under disguise as pilot Dick Nash (In Plane Sight), grabs a bottle from a villain's desk and opens it in Grievous Bottley Harm fashion to drink from it. After that he realizes he doesn't like the flavor, and drops it altogether to the floor.
- Face and Murdock's failed attempts to go on a double date in The Trouble with Harry.
- Murdock repeatedly telling Face, "You should've never answered that phone!"
- This exchange from Holiday in the Hills:
|
Face *reads Murdock's list*: Are you nuts?
Murdock: How did you get that '53 Cadillac convertible in the jungles of 'Nam? |
|
- Face's entire conversation with Louanne during his priest scam from that same episode. This bit in particular:
|
Face: You're such a sweet soul. So innocent, pretty...just like...Mary Anne. |
|
- Face's absolute adorkableness while pretending to be the priest is a major part of what makes this scene so funny. His expressions throughout are just priceless, as is his delivery.
- Also, this, from the beginning.
|
Face: Murdock, uh, what's gonna happen? |
|
- Murdock flirting with himself in two different accents is absolutely hilarious.
- Let's face it, that whole episode is pretty much one big Crowning Moment of Funny.
Movie
- YOU PANCAKED MY VAN!
- Just about anything Murdock says counts as one right after another, but one particularly notable example is the German fisherman's wife.
- Speaking of the wife, her expression when her husband gets dunked is priceless.
- When the passports for Murdock and B.A. get mixed up, with B.A. getting the one saying he's a Rabbi while Murdock gets the one which says he's from Tanzania with the check-in clerk being from Tanzania himself. After a little stuttering, Murdock reveals he is able to speak in flawless Swahili and manages to convince the Tanzanian check-in clerk he is from Tanzania.
- Murdock's Braveheart impression.
- "So Satan walks into a bar..."
- In the flying tank:
|
B.A.: Why the hell are we in a falling tank?! |
|
- "Technically, we're not flying." "I know! 'Cause we fallin', fool!"
- Also, after about the fourth flying incident: Murdock says that drugging B.A. was Hannibal and Face's idea, but the food was Murdock's.
- 'Toast points!'
- 'Why do I feel like I fell on my face?'
- 'Toast points!'
- "You're really, really tan."
- Murdock and the helicopter at the beginning of the movie. He exclaims in a British accent, "Oh, you gorgeous rustbucket! Did you miss your daddy?" and a few moments later is seen swinging on one of the blades singing, "You spin me right round, baby, right round, like a record baby..." etc. That part alone was worth the ticket price.
- Murdock's...unique style of barbecueing steaks.
|
"It's only partial paralysis. Come on. Take it like a man!" |
|
- After Murdock is broken out of a psychiatric hospital during a 3D movie:
|
"You guys should see this in 3D! It's like we're really getting shot at!" |
|
- Murdock. Full stop. End statement.
- "They're not trying to shoot down the drones, they're trying to fly the tank."
- They manage to shoot down a drone. With a tank. In mid-air.
- Hannibal saying "whoopsie" after he's just ran over Pike was known to crack up entire theaters. Something about the deadpan glee in Liam Neeson's voice is absolutely hysterical.
- "It's just like Call of Duty!"
- How about the scene where Lynch's flunky is completely screwing up his attempt to execute Pike. It gets to the point that Pike himself is giving him pointers, and for his last request, asks that someone else kill him because of how embarrassing it is.
- As the tank is falling, you can briefly see it has a "How's my driving" sticker on the back.
- Face rolling down the hill, throwing up, and then making out with the hot wife of the guy he shouldn't have pissed off.
