i love shows that make you laugh so hard at just one line or scene. there are not many shows that do that. in my opinion, most comedies have very formulaic jokes and the laugh tracks can be pretty distracting. anyway, on to my point. i was watching an angel rerun last night (carpe noctem. whatever that means) that i had taped from earlier in the day. there is a scene when cordelia is trying to convince angel to squash fred's high school-like crush on him. their conversation goes:
cordelia: she's got the big puppy love. i mean, who wouldn't? you're handsome, and brave, and heroic, emotionally stunted, erratic, prone to turning evil and, lets face it, a eunuch.
angel: hey, how can you... i'm not a eunuch.
cordelia: angel, it's just a figure of speech.
angel: find a better one.
man. i had to pause the tape because i was laughing so hard. angel's tone of voice and body language is SO ridiculously defensive, as all men can be when our masculinity comes into question. it must be programmed into our collective brains. anyway, i know it is a minor line in a relatively insignificant scene, but it was SO funny to me.
anyone else have moments like this or is it just me?

Hehehe. . .
WES: (passionately) Kiss me!
CORDY: (passionately) Bite me!
ANGEL (off-camera): Why don't you both bite me.

S5...after years of Loren calling Angel all kinds of endearments...
like 'Angel cakes'
Angel finally says (in total frustration):
"STOP CALLING ME PASTRY!"

I loved that scene! There is so many of them in Joss' shows. Often they are throw-away lines but they just crack me up!
By the way...carpe noctem means seize the night!

I have a lot of those moments in Joss shows, mostly Buffy. The likes of "Nothing can defeat the PENIS!" and...
Xander: So, how did the slaying go last night?
Buffy: *Looks around at the other students* Could you speak a little louder?
Xander: Oh! *looks around, and says, loudly* How did the LAYING go last night?
Crack me up to no end.
"Bwaa...it's kind of a warrior...strikes fear into the hearts of..."

There are many in the Joss shows. but the only one coming to mind is from Buffy
Xander- Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. (They look at him) Bator.

That scene is actually in the S3 ep Fredless, which directly succeeds Carpe Noctem.

I recently watched The Gift again, and there were two or three moments that I laughed out loud at something I'd forgotten...I've since forgotten them again, except for the one exchange between Giles and Spike, just after Buffy says she'll kill anyone who comes near Dawn, something like:
Spike: Well, not exactly the St. Crispen's Day speech, was it?
Giles: We few, we happy few...
Spike: We band of buggered.

I LOVE the ep in (I think) Buffy Season 4, the one where Willow's thoughts/wishes come true and she says Giles is blind and Buffy and Spike should get married. There's a lot of confusion and no one is really communicating, just arguing. At one point, Spike says something like "...and this is the crack team that foils my every plan???" Cracks me up every time.
Also, in that ep, where Zander is checking to see if Giles is really blind and Giles says "Stop whatever you're doing, you smell like fruit roll-ups." His voice is SOOO genuinely irritated!
AND when Zander sees Buffy and Spike kissing and asks if he can be blind too.
Basically, that whole ep is just hilarious.
