Looking back, and Laughing

As we move through the somewhat intense final episodes of Angel, I find I keep going back to watch the somewhat lighter ones. Thought I'd see if anyone else wanted to share a favorite light moment from Angel. (It doesn't have to be THE favorite, just a favorite, or twenty, if you're so inclined.)
Since I just watched Waiting in the Wings, I'll start with Lorne singing Connor to sleep from that episode. Also, the priceless deleted scene on the DVD of Alexis and Amy ballet (well, what sort of resembles ballet in his case).

Also from Waiting in the Wings, when Cordy is talking about her lack of a sex life, and mentions that the only action she's gotten lately is from a ghost who's good with a loufa. Then she realizes that she shouldn't have said that in front of Wesley, and they both pretend she didn't...
I haven't seen "Spin the Bottle" since it was first aired (come on, season 4 dvd!) but I love all the gags with Wesley's stakes up his sleeves.

Wesley dancing on the video in front of the Wolfram & Hart fundraiser in season 2 ("Blood Money").
The dancing is hi-larious and then his pants are off and he falls over!! Great stuff

I'd go back to the first season to another dancing scene: Angel and Wesley at Cordy's "apartment warming" party...Wesley trying to be hip and Angel imagining the horror of dancing in public. The scene was so good it was one of very few that JW revised for the ending credits. Makes me laugh EVERY time!!

"Appears they've canceled the show and we're still here. What does that make us?"
"Big damn junkies, Sir!"
"Ain't we just."

God, that's a good one!
How about Cordy and Wes' lovely tribute to the Angel/Buffy soap opera:
"Kiss me!"
"Bite me!"
"How about you both bite me?"
Ah, joy.
Or, if anyone owns the DVD, Amy's audition. Jesus H, but that was good stuff:
"Whoa! Step away from the bosom."
"Once, just once, I'd like to be able to land someplace and say, 'Behold, I am the Archangel Gabriel.'"
"I fail to see the humor in that situation, Doctor."
"Naturally. You could hardly claim to be an angel with those pointed ears, Mister Spock. But say you landed someplace with a pitchfork . . ."

My family loves the rooftop scene from "In the Dark" where Spike provides dialog for Angel's rescue scene on the street below:
Spike: [as Rachel] How can I thank you, you mysterious black-clad hunk of a night thing?
[as Angel] No need, little lady, your tears of gratitude are enough for me. You see, I was once a badass vampire, but love and a pesky curse defanged me. Now I'm just a big, fluffy puppy with bad teeth. No, not the hair! Never the hair!
[as Rachel] But there must be some way I can show my appreciation?
[as Angel] No, helping those in need's my job, and working up a load of sexual tension and prancing away like a magnificent poof is truly thanks enough.
[as Rachel] I understand. I have a nephew who is gay, so...
[as Angel] Say no more. Evil's still afoot. And I'm almost out of that nancy-boy hair-gel I like so much. Quickly, to the Angel-mobile, away!

That entire episode, up until the point they got their memories back, was one of the funniest ever. Angel discovering his face could change, Wes being so proud of being "head boy", Fred quietly asking everyone if they had any weed...

The opening scene of "Eternity":
Wes: "We're doomed."
Angel: "Front exit?"
Wes: "We'd be spotted instantly."
Angel: "Back door?"
Wes: "Blocked."
Angel: "That's it, then. We're trapped."
Wes: "We could try shouting fire! it's not technically a crowded theatre."
And, of course, Cordelia's terrible rendition of "Doll's House". So funny.
That, and the sibling spat between Wes and Cordy in "The Ring":
Cordy: “Demons, Demons, Demons. Wow! They put a lot of thought into *that* title.”
Wesley: “It’s a demon database. What would you call it?”
Cordy: “I don’t know. How about – Demon Database?”
Wesley: “Ahh! A name rife with single entendre.”
Cordy: “Why isn’t Wolfram&Hart in here?”
Wesley: “Because they are lawyers, not demons?”
Cordy: “Fine line, if you ask me. Yeesh. They have a lot of entries! Did you know that there is a dozen species indigenous to LA County alone?”
Wesley: “Do they have the Vigories of Oden Tal?”
Cordy: “Nope.”
Wesley: “Hmm. (Picks up a book) So - there is still a place in this world for traditional research.”
Cordy: “There are some ugly critters in here. Someone ought to create an intra-demon dating base. You know, like archfiend.org, where the lonely and the slimy connect. (Wesley looks at her) I was just joking Mr. Grouchy Pants. When was the last time you had a dating base?”
Wesley: “For your information – I lead a rich and varied social life.”
Cordy: “Oh, I know. Every night it’s Jeopardy, followed by Wheel of Fortune and a cup of hot cocoa. Look out girls, this one can’t be tamed!”
Wesley: “I’ll admit it may not be as intoxicating as a life erected on high fashion pumps and a push-up bra.”
Cordy gets up: “Hey, if anyone is wearing a push-up bra around here it’s (Sees Angel coming in) - Angel.”
Angel: “Did you two need to see a counselor?”
YAY! Cordy and Wes banter is the best!
Sorry, gleeful moment, there.

Let us never forget, the episode that aired the same night that Buffy's mom died:
Angel walks into a dark room. Angel finds the light. Angel pulls the string. Angel is standing hip-deep in a roomful of goats.
Now THAT'S comedy.

I'm really enjoying this thread. Just reading the dialog makes me giggle and want to go running for my DVD's/tapes. (Especially that scene from the beginning of Fredless, with Wes and Cordy playing Angel and Buffy -- "I love you so much I almost forgot to brood.")
Interesting to note the fact that most of what we've mentioned so far involved Wes, since he more or less became the prince of gloom somewhere along the third season.
To mention a non-Wes moment, I love the "tour of Angel's past" mental trip that Angelus and Faith go on in Morpheus. Especially, "Dude, you just rescued a puppy."
