* [[Mick Foley]] documented a great crowning moment of funny involving accusing [[Dwayne Johnson|the Rock]] of maybe [[Ho Yay|proving Rocky DOES "suck"]] and [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] talking about [[It Makes Sense in Context|shrimp boats]]. One can read from pages 109 to 113 [http://books.google.com/books?id=Zghk-VaOVC8C&printsec=frontcover&dq=Foley+is+Good&source=bl&ots=uebxAAwDnN&sig=6Yd6QBLsNPOEwNn6OmpK7X3dNBk&hl=en&ei=JHuQTJvyOo7EsAPTt-GxDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q&f=false here.] The follow-up on pages 117 to 120 is possibly even funnier.
** Foley's books are always good for Crowning Moments of Funny. The [[Diamond Dallas Page]] cookie story<ref>Some fans baked Mick, DDP and Austin a batch of cookies, assuming they'd get eaten. Austin and Mick instead load them into DDP's hotel bed without him knowing. [[Hilarity Ensues]].</ref> from "Have a Nice Day: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks" is probably one of the best.
{{quote| '''DDP''': How do you like it? [[It Makes Sense in Context|How do you like fucking cookies in your bed]]?!<br />
'''Foley''': It's not the cookies that I mind. It's the fact that you're rubbing your naked ass all over me. }}

** The Invasion had quite a number of giggle-worthy skits buried underneath all the controversy. Other highlights included Shawn Stasiak constructing a booby trap using [[It Makes Sense in Context|a bucket of sour milk]] (which inevitably backfired) and [[Booker T]] visiting a Hollywood movie studio in an attempt to replicate [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]]'s then-recent success with ''[[The Scorpion King]]'':

* The Rock and [[Chris Jericho]] riffing on each other. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd2zhPN5-Es You with your unibrow and your "Just bring it!" Bring what? A vomit bag? A Fig Newton?]
* [[Chris Jericho]] has a lot of them, be it his [[The Long List|list]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faaDz7p5X3A of 1,004 holds], his wonderful funny ring announcing for a Cruiserweight Battle Royal, his [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On7w7 many], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCx1AqnBUVE many] digs at [[Stephanie McMahon]], or the way he [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ1HXCd7NSo mercilessly lampooned] Bill [[Goldberg]]'s entrance.

** [[Chris Jericho]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMO1VFy-3FU "Ortonizes" his promo]. Say it with him now: ME! WANT! TITLE! MATCH!
** [[Chris Jericho]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN61nRaaHHE doesn't know Santino Marella's name].
* [[Kurt Angle]]: SCREW YOUR BOOBS
* Santino is the walking, talking, living, breathing embodiment of the [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]. From mispronunciations of wrestler names to generally being unafraid to completely make an ass out of himself, he is the personification of this trope. And when teamed up with "The Glamazon" [[Beth Phoenix]], he's even funnier. But his Crowning Moment is most definitely:
{{quote| "Bring forth...'''THE HONK-A-METER!'''"}}
** And then there's:
{{quote| Santino: My eyes are up here, I am NOT a piece of meat!}}
** [[Beth Phoenix]] has picked up a couple since getting with Santino as well, most notably this: [http://www.411mania.com/siteimages/rrk9melinakickingherself_14767.gif Stop kicking yourself, Melina!]
** When [[Kane (wrestling)|Kane]] was backstage searching for [[CM Punk]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlgBMw86tas he happened upon Santino]:
{{quote| '''Kane''': [[This Is Sparta|Where...is...Punk]]?<br />
'''Santino''': Have you tried [[Trademark Favorite Food|the Pepsi machine]]? }}
** Yet another [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] for Santino: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaNpTh1lhls Attempting Melina's (in)famous split ring entrance]. Bonus CMoF for Beth near the end. {{spoiler|"NOT THERE! OF ALL PLACES WHY THERE?!"}}
Line 52:
** There was that time where he somehow beat up The Sandman. He tries to add insult to injury by breaking Sandman's kendo stick over his knee... only to hurt himself.
** There was the moment he told [[Rey Mysterio, Jr.]] there were only three reasons someone would wear a mask.
{{quote| "Any man who hides behind a mask is either incredibly ugly... incredibly stupid oooor... or is THE BATMAN!!!!"}}
** Also, there was his angle with Stone Cold where, at one point Santino declared various Stone Cold moments would not be happening (glass breaking, can of "asswhip", stomping of mudpie) and finished by saying "[[Jim Ross|JR]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBF0jaK1RnE is not going to reach the point of orgasm.] The non-verbal reaction from JR was ''priceless.''
** Hell, Santino's finishing move is a crowning moment of funny every time he tries to use it. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF2Ho0y-8Io COBRA! COBRA! COBRA!]
Line 58:
** Santino can notch up another hilarious moment with his performance in 2011's Royal Rumble. To wit: He enters at #37 and within moments is kicked under the bottom rope to the outside. Ten minutes later, [[Alberto Del Rio]] is the last man standing in the ring and the winner of the Royal Rumble...until the forgotten Santino slips back in the ring and hits him with a Cobra Strike. Sure, Santino was eliminated almost immediately following, but that was the best [[Brick Joke]] WWE has pulled out in years.
** While Corre was having an internal dispute on Raw 4/11/11, Santino comes out alongside [[Evan Bourne]], [[Daniel Bryan]], and [[Mark Henry]], who have united to form their own group.
{{quote| "If you guys are 'The Corre', then allow me to present to you: The [[Fun with Acronyms|APPLE]]! 'Allied People Powered by Loathing Everything that you stand for.'"}}
*** And then there's the 'APPLE Powers Unite' group fist bump. [[Mark Henry]] needed some convincing to join in.
** On a Raw over in the UK, Santino and Vladimir Kozlov invited [[Sheamus]] to a tea party. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ2ib9wHCTA It has to be seen to be believed].
Line 64:
* When Kane was first turning face, one of his first good deeds was to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALPTdA27T9A help a kid win a prize from a crane machine]...
* The bWo entrance at the original One Night Stand pay-per-view, especially coming hot off the heels of [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|The Sandman's entrance, hands down the greatest ever in pro wrestling]]. Joey was laughing so hard he believed he'd piss himself:
{{quote| ''"If there was ever any gimmick that didn't deserve to make ''a dime'' and made a '''boatload''' of cash, THIS WAS IT! And the best thing was [[WCW|they]] couldn't sue [[ECW|us]] because it was a parody!"''}}
** During the ensuing debacle after said entrance, Nova takes two ''massive'' chair shots right to the head by Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney, one after the other. After being laid out by the second, [[Joey Styles]] had this to say:
{{quote| ''"That hurt more than [[Take That|having to be Simon Dean on national television]]! (Yeah, I'm fired; I know.)"''}}
* [[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.
Line 82:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEJgkdRZOyk Goldust and Booker T]
* [[Triple H]]'s appearance on the MVP Lounge talking about [[Edge]]:
{{quote| '''[[Triple H]]''': "You know, that [[Edge]] is a smart guy. I mean, [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall|marrying the boss to get ahead in the business?]] That's genius!"}}
* [[Kurt Angle]] vs. a generic luchador jobber - Kurt throws him to the outside, and the ref leans over to check on him. At this point, [[Eddie Guerrero]] sneaks in from behind ''disguised as said luchador'', then throws Angle over the top rope (and over the ref's head) before leaving an inconspicuous banana peel where Angle was standing. The ref looks to see who attacked Angle, sees the banana peel, and just gives a [[Aside Glance]] to the camera, as if to say "You have '''got''' to be kidding me."
* "The Houdini of Hardcore" Crash Holly defends the WWF Hardcore Championship against both of The Headbangers [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4aaUzPNvSQ in Fun Time USA.] This is probably the most memorable defense of said championship.
* At Survivor Series 2009, [[Christian]] teamed up with Kofi Kingston, [[Mark Henry]], MVP, & [[Ron Killings|R-Truth]], and tried to point out that he's the only... At which point, his teammates to cut him off & say that it shouldn't matter, as they all want to win. [[Christian]]'s relieved, and remarks that he's glad his teammates don't care that he's the only member of the ECW roster, leading to them all having a chuckle about it before [[Christian]] remarks "You thought I mean because I'm Canadian", which leads to an awkward silence from the others. The promo then ends with [[Christian]] trying to prove Canadians are pretty good rappers:
{{quote| '''[[Christian]]''': "Team Kofi Kingston! Looking for a fight! 4 of us are black and 1 of us is white! WHAT'S UP! What's up! What's up. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}L8j8OXn0E44&feature{{=}}related Mark what's up?"]}}
* Carlito would like to thank Jesus, the Academy, [[Twilight (novel)|Team Jacob]], and everyone's favorite place Puerto Rico.
* Let's not forget about the really funny PPV commercials. Like the WM21 Taxi Driver Parody, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sufuowhrWt4 The Last Hot Dog (Summerslam 2006)] or Carlito vs The Dove (WM24)
* ''Judgement Day 2002'' and ''Wrestlemania 2003'', where [[Kurt Angle]] and [[Vince McMahon]], respectively, get their heads shaved.
{{quote| '''Audience:''' (Chants in tune to Angle's music) "You're bald! You're bald!"}}
** Then, on the RAW after ''Wrestlemania 23'', Bobby Lashley knocks away Vince's hat, causing him to hide under Lillian Garcia's skirt. Lashley then [[Fan Service|rips her skirt off]].
* [[Kurt Angle]]: "[[Rey Mysterio, Jr.]] is a boy, and I'm a man. And I just love to play with little boys." * crowd laughs* [[That Came Out Wrong|"NO NO I DIDN'T MEAN THAT!"]]
* In what is also a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], [[Beth Phoenix]] (!) entered the 2010 Royal Rumble and, after being lifted over the top rope by The Great Khali and pointed towards the back, Beth plants a HUGE kiss on Khali. ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIQTk7nfdm4 And eliminates him by dragging him over the top rope during the kiss.]''
* [[Shane McMahon]] helps his father Vince train for a match against Austin...in the middle of winter with about a foot of snow on the ground. And Shane gets the idea to use the [[Good Old Ways]] of training, because "this is how they used to train in [his] day", including chasing a chicken around to build speed and endurance. Only problem is, since it's snowing out, [[Never Work with Children or Animals|the chicken isn't having any of it]]. So the first take, Shane throws the chicken, the chicken stays put, and Vince tries to nudge him along to get it to run.
{{quote| '''Vince''': This is the stupidest--<br />
'''Shane''': This is the moment of truth!<br />
'''Vince''': This is the stupidest one of them all--<br />
'''Shane''': No, it's not!<br />
'''Vince''': [[Mean Boss|I'm the CEO of]] [[WWE|a Fortune-500 company]]--<br />
'''Shane''': That's alright!<br />
Line 114:
* Another guest host of RAW looked upon very fondly is [[William Shatner]]. Yes, ''that'' [[William Shatner]]. So when Shatner negotiated matches a la Priceline.com and did ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHg2z9ZgdEc spoken word versions]'' of WWE entrance themes, it turned what an already awesome night of RAW ([[Bret Hart]]'s Return) into an epic one.
* [http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5n9m1_mcmahon-family-portrait_sport The McMahon family portrait] from the 15th anniversary of Raw. [[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]]. To say nothing of the [[Humiliation Conga|parade of people who've slept with Vince]]. Most of this is just the setup for the [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for [[Stephanie McMahon|Stephanie]] and Trips.
{{quote| '''Stephanie''': Dad, you've got ''serious problems''. And you know what? You've embarrassed our family long enough. It's time that I embarrassed you.<br />

'''[[Triple H]]''': (looks smug as hell) Heh. [[Happily Married|See ya at home, Steph]]! ... [[Lame Rhyme Dodge|oooh, I mean, your brother's a gnome!]] }}
* The Dudley Boyz humiliate [[Christian]] and [[Chris Jericho]] by stealing their stuff and throwing it into the crowd. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDFOFPXz3Gk Including...]

** Now with 35% [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef0LU449SXk MORE ASS]!
* [[The Undertaker]] and Kane [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fm26XdZ_28 couldn't catch a break.] Between Kane and the whole Katie Vick situation and Taker with a busted hand, among other things, it was hard to say who was more worthy of pity.
{{quote| '''Kane:''' So...how was your week?<br />
'''[[The Undertaker]]:''' ... }}
* Bob Uecker's interviewing [[Andre the Giant]] at ''Wrestlemania 4'' -- if for nothing more than Uecker's hilarious facial expressions:
{{quote| '''Andre''': [[Hulk Hogan|Hulkamania]] is OVER! ''(laughs)''<br />
'''Bob Uecker''': ''(trying to push Andre's hand away)'' Um, would you mind getting your foot off my shoulder?<br />
''([[Andre the Giant]] throttles Bob and shakes him like a rag doll.)'' }}
** During the battle royal at the same show had this exchange:
{{quote| '''[[Jesse Ventura]]''': You ever see anything like this in baseball, Ueck?<br />
'''Bob Uecker''': This kinda reminds me of final cut day of spring training. }}
* Even though the storyline itself had to be Vince crossing the [[Moral Event Horizon]] for the 12th time, when they're in a Church, Vince [[Smite Me Oh Mighty Smiter|dares G~D to strike him down]]. Shane takes a few steps back.
* One moment in ''Wrestlemania 18'' regarding the hardcore title scuffle backstage. At one point after the Hurricane got the title, he attempts to hide in one of the changing rooms behind a changing blind. A few seconds later, a few of the Godfather's ladies come in to get changed, and none of them notice that Hurricane is behind the blind... until they notice that Hurricane's shadow [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhg5i-5gV5Y starts to show signs of visible excitement when a GIANT, phallic shadow] rises up. Cue the Godfather come in and chasing the Hurricane away with a broom which had been used to display said 'excitement'
{{quote| '''[[Jerry Lawler]]:''' He DOES have super powers!}}
* One backstage segment on Smackdown in 2001 saw [[Trish Stratus]] getting changed behind a screen in the guy's dressing room. Steve Blackman disappears behind the screen to help her with her zipper, accidentally poking her with his kendo stick which is now [[Something Else Also Rises|elongated upwards in a strangely phallic position]]. Cue Grandmaster Sexay walking in and seeing the odd shadow.
{{quote| '''Trish''': Wow, [[Biggus Dickus|that's gigantic]].<br />
'''Steve''': You should see when I beat people over the head with it.<br />
'''Trish''': Can I hold it? (touching the stick) It's so hard. }}
* [[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.
{{quote| '''Lawler''': [[Kelly Kelly]]'s not pregnant, Brie's not a man, there have been no secret rendezvous and I'm pretty sure the Great Khali has no idea what's going on.<br />
'''Singh''': Actually, King, [[Lampshade Hanging|much like our audience]] the Great Khali feels this has been [[Take That|a giant waste of time]]. }}
** But they're not done yet, Lawler says Springer has been hiding a secret relationship. Some men like their women skinny, others like them curvy. Some like their women old but Springer likes his women young. As in Mae Young of course and she comes out to smother Springer with kisses. The entire segment provided the sensation of channel surfing without even picking up the remote.
* At Extreme Rules 2010 in the middle of the Last Man Standing match between [[John Cena]] and [[Batista]].
{{quote| '''Young fan''': I hate you [[Batista]]!<br />
'''[[Batista]]''': I hate you too! }}
** Don't forget [[Chris Jericho]]'s interaction with a fan at Survivor Series as well.

* At WWE Hell in a Cell, [[Randy Orton]] fails to throw the steel steps over the top rope into the ring. He gets booed and he gives the crowd the "up yours!" gesture.
* [[The Miz]] stealing [[Edge]]'s Slim Jim at Summerslam 2010. It's just so damn petty.
Line 186:
* [[The Big Show]] goes looking for the Hardy Boyz. He stars knocking down random doors in the back area, but behind one door...are [[The Undertaker]] and Kane. The hilarious one liner that Taker tosses off after [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE-XusqL5-w beating the everloving crap out of Big Show?] "[[Serious Business|Next time]], ''[[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|knock!]]''"

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".

* In 2003, after an angle that saw [[Hulk Hogan|Hogan]] fired and slapped with a restraining order against Vince, promos for a new [[All-American Face]] called Mr. America began appearing. Cue to Mr. America's debut on Smackdown, and lo and behold its Hogan in glaringly obvious [[Charlie Brown From Outta Town|flimsy disguise]]. The best part was that unlike some other cases of fake disguises, Hulk's was pure [[Refuge in Audacity]] as he didn't even try to change his in-ring style, manner of speech, or even his [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl3TnqUumfU entrance].

* '''November 1, 2010''', A segment that night on consisted of a sketch revealing before commercial break that Mr. McMahon has been in a coma for two months. His doctor (played by Freddie Prinze Jr.) casually mentions that it will be a shame that Mr. McMahon will miss the entire election when his wife Linda spent $50 million on the campaign. Mr. McMahon is wrestled awake by this news, covered in his wife's campaign stickers, and finally says that it's okay as long as the WWE is running smoothly. The doctor proceeds to list everything that's been going WRONG (Undertaker buried, NEXUS running wild, Pee Wee Herman hosting, etc.) and Mr. McMahon gets up to leave the room, saying if his wife can run for Senate, he can run for PRESIDENT, exiting to reveal his backside covered by a banner of his wife's opponent. Cut to his daughter Stephanie awaking in bed, Newhart style, and the following exchange:
{{quote| '''Stephanie''': I just had this horrible dream...hey, [[Continuity Nod|is my dad still in a coma?]]<br />
'''[[Triple H]]''': ''(off-screen)'' Yeah, he's in a coma; I'm pretty sure he's brain-dead.<br />
'''Stephanie''': ''(smiling)'' Thank god. ''(flops back to the bed, goes back to sleep)'' }}

* The first 3/4ths of [[John Cena]]'s return promo on the 12.20 Raw (until the needless Vickie Guererro bashing). [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFcu0mo5HXc Wherein he shows his dropping 23 chairs on Wade Barrett from four camera angles and makes it impossible for Vickie Guererro to get a word out].
** Specifically this bit:
{{quote| '''Cena''': I'm gonna do something I should have done a long time ago. *runs over to a fan in the front row and hugs him* I just hugged it out with the "We Hate Cena" guy. We're good!}}
* Santino VS Kozlov ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0im-TCGEgh0 DANCE OFF!]''
* Derrick Bateman and [[Bryan Danielson]] stand for chicks... AND AMERICA! Oh, and submission wrestling.
* YMMV, but this troper got a chuckle out of Cena, acting as Guest Referee for a [[CM Punk]] and Wade Barret match with the loser's group barred from the Royal Rumble, disqualifying both. His reason?
{{quote| '''Cena''': Double disqualification, [[Disproportionate Retribution|they used too much profanity]]. [[Lighter and Softer|This is a PG show]]! }}
** I was in giggle fits over [http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfleklreqH1qzh0wto1_250.gif him miming sweeping] of the New Nexus from ringside and [http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfleudWNGp1qzh0wto1_250.gif his invoking of Leslie Nielsen in the Naked Gun] when he threw out The Corre.
** 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.
Line 252:
* Santino Marella [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_OUtAb8xt8 "rapping."] Even ''[[The Stoic|Randy Orton]]'' was trying not to laugh.
* [[Jerry Lawler]] and [[Jim Ross]] commenting on [[John Morrison]]'s entrance at ''Wrestlemania 27''.
{{quote| '''Lawler''': Can you go into slow motion, JR?<br />
'''JR''': I can simulate it. I'm in slow motion most of the time. }}
* [[Booker T]] comes out to celebrate with [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] and [[Jerry Lawler]] after ''[[Wrestlemania]] 27''. He gets a beer from Austin...then as he drinks it, a [[Finishing Move|Stone Cold Stunner]]. As Booker falls back, [[Spit Take|the beer gushes from his mouth in a wide arc]].
Line 261:
* The [[Royal Rumble]] has provided a few over the years:
** [[Kane (wrestling)|Kane]] eliminating the Honky Tonk Man in 2001 immediately after he sang his song-- grabbing his guitar and smashing him over the head with it. And then shaking his head slowly.
{{quote| '''[[Jim Ross]]''': I think Kane is tired of the song. }}
** In the 2002 Royal Rumble match, Austin and [[Triple H]] were in the ring with the Hurricane and the Hurricane got the goozle on both of them, prepping them for a chokeslam. They sold it like he's [[The Undertaker]] or Kane for about five seconds before they both looked at each other and realized they're being choked by ''the freakin' Hurricane.'' Just as it dawned on the Hurricane that he just grabbed the necks of the two most decorated wrestlers of the Rumble that year, they grabbed him by the back of the neck and threw him over the ropes.
** In the 2004 Royal Rumble match, [[Chris Benoit]] and [[Randy Orton]] had just eliminated several guys in a row and then collapsed from exhaustion. The announcers mentioned that the next person to come out would have a huge advantage. But that person turned out to be Ernest "The Cat" Miller, who decided to dance to his theme music alongside his ostentatiously-wigged manager, Lamont, instead. Benoit and Orton were not amused, and threw ''both'' of them over the top rope.
{{quote| '''Tazz:''' "Well, the ''wig's'' eliminated."}}
* The "Gimmick Battle Royal" at ''Wrestlemania X-7'' was pretty much one big CMOF due to the return of many [[So Bad It's Good]] old favourites and having [[Bobby Heenan]] on commentary.
{{quote| '''Heenan''': "[[Deadpan Snarker|By the time]] [[The Iron Sheik]] [[Deadpan Snarker|gets to the ring it'll be Wrestlemania 38.]]"<br />
<br />
'''Heenan''': This man (Repo Man) is nuts! Last week he repoed his own car.<br />

* During his first stint in the WWE, Scott Levy, a.k.a. [[Wrestler/Raven|Raven]], was given the [[So Bad It's Good]] gimmick of Johnny Polo, and worked primarily as a manager and sometimes color commentator. To his credit, Raven made the character ''hilarious'' to listen to. Especially when paired up with Gorilla Monsoon:
{{quote| ''(during a [[Bret Hart]] vs. Yokozuna match, when Yokozuna slowly falls to the mat)''<br />
'''Gorilla''': It took him forever to fall to the ground!<br />
'''Polo''': Well, [[Shown Their Work|568 lbs. x 9.8 feet-per-second]], [[Genius Bonus|that's the force of gravity]]!<br />
'''Gorilla''': ''(exasperated)'' Will you ''stop?!'' }}

* During the Power to the People, techical difficulties resulted in Mason Ryan getting put into a match with [[Evan Bourne]]. Since Mason bears [[Identical Stranger|more than a passing resemblance to]] [[Batista]], the obviously upset crowd, hoping for a match between Sin Cara and Bourne, decided to have some fun.

* In the 8/22 edition of Raw, a fan tossed [[John Cena]] back his shirt. [[Alberto Del Rio]]'s reaction is especially priceless.
* On the 9/26 episode of RAW, Christian comes out [[Once an Episode|once again]] to complain to [[Triple H]] that he got screwed out of the title when [[Sheamus]] threw him into the ring allowing [[Mark Henry]] to beat him. Triple H's response?
{{quote| '''[[Triple H]]''': It was a Lumberjack match, you idiot.}}
** Also, his response to Trips putting him in a match with WWE Champion [[John Cena]].
{{quote| '''Christian''': Is it for the title?<br />
'''Triple H''': No.<br />
'''Christian''': *Hissyfit* }}
** Also, [[Triple H]] increasing the numbers of competitors [[Cody Rhodes]] will have after Rhodes gives [[Triple H]] some snide remarks, after been given the night off due to being injured the past week on Smackdown, going from just one competitor, to a 10 man battle royal.
* October 31, 2011: [[Sheamus]] meets [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhFniiuj77Y Beaker.] (Itself a [[Call Back]] to when Edge referred to Sheamus as such)
** This tropette's favorite scene has to be this:

{{quote| '''[[Booker T]]''': No wonder why he was wearing a mask, that guy's '''ugly'''!<br />

'''[[Booker T]]''': Look at him, he's '''hideous'''! }}
* This exchange after [[Triple H]] and [[Ron Killings|R-Truth]] are talking to invisible people. The audience reaction to R-Truth's counter to HHH is priceless.
{{quote| [[Triple H]]: Truth, he doesn't like how that guy's eyeballing him.<br />
R-Truth: Man, you crazy. You're talkin' to people that don't exist. <br />
[[Triple H]]: (full [[Sarcasm Mode]]) I know, it's like I'm insane. }}
* The Miracle on 34th Street Fight between Randy Orton & David Otunga during the special Holiday Edition of ''[[WWE Smackdown]]'', featuring such moments of hilarity like Orton chomping down on holiday cookies, tossing a present to a fleeing Otunga, and even [[Large Ham|screaming out "HO HO HO!"]]
Line 330:
** Brodus' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKfGi8HDXFQ dance-off competition] with Vickie Guerrero and William Regal a few weeks later was pretty funny, made even better by a couple of [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] with Vickie doing the [[Seinfeld|Elaine Dance]] while Regal channels [[Morecambe and Wise]].
