 * [[Ric Flair]]'s famous [[Face Fault|Flair Flop]] is known to cause a chuckle every now and then, but one instance turned it into a laugh riot. [[Triple H]] was in Flair's corner when he flopped once, and Trips could very easily be seen hanging his head and groaning in disgust.
 * Although [[Edge]] and [[Christian]] were essentially gods of comedy upon winning the tag titles for the first time, the act really didn't kick into gear until they were aligned with [[Kurt Angle]]. The Crowning Moment of this trio was early on: to pay tribute to the state of Kentucky, they dressed up as a jug band...complete with [[Edge]] donning a set of false teeth even more ludicrous than his own unnaturally large grin.

 * Tommy Dreamer believes that [[Christian]] and Jack Swagger are ignoring him, and he has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rde8A54QH_w an interesting way of proving his point].
 * Let's not forget about Al Snow, especially his reign as European Champion and his tag team with [[Comically Serious]] Steve Blackman.
 * June 29th 2008. The night of [[Vince McMahon]]'s Million Dollar Mania will forever be remembered as the night Mr. McMahon [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99T0htFrIT0 got Rickroll'd].
 * At ''ECW One Night Stand II'', [[Rob Van Dam]] won the [[WWE]] championship from [[John Cena]]. Two nights later, on the inaugural broadcast of the revived ECW, he was crowned the ECW champion as well. He then spent several minutes talking up the honor and prestige of the ECW Championship...then held up the WWE Championship and declared, "And I'll keep this one too! Look! It spins!"

[[Triple H]] hits the ring with his signature [[No Fourth Wall|additions]] ("What I'm doing is waiting for that pop to die down - damn, do you hear that?!"), and, well - [[Hilarity Ensues]]. [[Only Sane Man|Shane's]] [[Brain Bleach|reaction]] of "oh God, my ''eyes''" - or [[I Need a Freaking Drink|"I need a freaking drink"]] - and his eventual [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]] after Vince made a comment about [[Squick|"dusting the cobwebs off" Mae Young]].

 * [[Eve Torres]] interviewed [[Triple H]] backstage before Survivor Series 2008 but [[Triple H]] was staring at something on Eve's upper torso area. He remarked that they were amazing, perfectly shaped and that his mother had a pair just like them. Could he be talking about...Eve's pearls of course. And after Vladimir Kozlov interrupts and leaves Trips remarks, "See, Eve, he couldn't take his eyes off them either".
 * Perhaps the [[Jerry Springer]] skit that was staged when Springer hosted Raw is worthy of this category even though falling into the [[So Bad It's Good]] category. The skit started off with [[Kelly Kelly]] saying she's pregnant but doesn't know who the father could be, there are a number of possibilities. Cue [[Butt Monkey|Santino's]] music, he mistakes Springer for Maury Povich and then [[Michael Cole]] interrupts only to be cut down by [[Jerry Lawler]]. Springer says that Lawler usually picks up his girls during recess (yes, [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|paedophile jokes on a PG show]]). The Bella Twins interrupt and apparently [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|Brie is a man]] and we can finally tell them apart as Brie is the one who looks like she's ready to castrate someone. Another possibility for Kelly's baby's father is Chris Masters who is [[Continuity Nod|told to put a bra on]] by Springer. Seconds later Eve Torres comes down and Masters says she wasn't getting the job done (it's still a PG show, apparently). Eve drops a bombshell: she's been cheating on Chris with [[The Giant|the Great Khali]]. Springer says he has the results of the paternity test and the father is Hornswoggle. [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|This is apparently too weird even for Springer and he walks off]] only for Lawler to admit they staged the whole thing.

 * The Kane/Pete Rose feud is pretty goddamn hilarious, all things considered. Arguably the first example of face-like reaction Kane got was tombstoning Pete Rose after the latter insulted [[Cheap Heat|a local sports franchise]].
 * The entire ending segment of the NXT finale - William Regal randomly calling [[Matt Hardy]] Eugene repeatedly, R-Truth's "Be quiet, you got a mask on!", [[CM Punk]] being told to leave if he has a problem ''and doing so'', all of it was great.
 * [[John Morrison]] (Johnny Nitro at the time) is cutting a promo with Melina, when in the background, [[Jeff Hardy]] sets up a canvas and starts painting. John turns, yells at him, and kicks over the canvas. Jeff goes absolutely [[Berserk Button|berserk]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dT_3cipFco on him.] Which goes to show that obviously you do not fuck with the man's painting.

[[Vince McMahon]] is running Raw from a cell phone because his first granddaughter has just been born, and the assorted chaos that has ensued means Cena's just about had enough. After [[Distracted by the Sexy|hitting on Maria]] (and [[Dumb Blonde|asking if she ate paint chips when she was a kid]]), he goes off on how [[Edge]] is "rated PG-13", [[Randy Orton]]'s been hitting on Brooke Hogan, and how [[Most Annoying Sound|Armando Estrada]] should "park [his] ass and shut [his] piehole".

 ** When the Raw GM's email buzzed, you can hear Cena mutter to himself, "What I did was GENIUS!" It made this troper laugh pretty hard.
 * NXT in general tends to be funny due to the snarky commentating. But it gets bonus points for just how much it paints the fourth wall, whether it's [[Dolph Ziggler]] half-jokingly accusing a challenge of being rigged and Matt replying "Ya think?" or Josh Matthews flat out saying during a wedding segment "You realize this isn't a real wedding, right?" and Cole replying in mock surprise, "Really?!"
 * [[Eddie Guerrero]] had some Mexican food delivered to himself on Smackdown. [[The Big Show]] decided he wanted it, took the delivery, and ate it before hitting the ring. Once there, he had some...internal distress (said food was spiked ahead of time by Eddie), and took off for the restroom-only to find that Eddie had already removed all the TP.
