When I saw it yesterday there were some laughs when Jane pours alcohol on his leg wound after the mule chase then takes a big swig himself.

Zoe to Mal: "Are we crashing again?"
Mal to Zoe: "Talk to your husband."
Mal to Jayne: "No grenades."
Jayne's facial reaction and word: "Awwww"
Zoe to Jayne (waaaaay O.C.) regarding the grenades: "Jayne, we're robbing the place, not occupying it."
Everyone dies alone.

When Dr. Mathias says he didn't bring a sword and the Operative holds his sword out to him always causes a murmer of laughter when I've seen it.
"Sure as I know anything, I know this: I aim to misbehave."

Nice list. There are a few other lines (and business) that have provoked a consistent humor response from Whedon newbies I've brought (so I know these aren't responses from a Browncoat's re-enjoyment), some responses are fairly small (snorts, chortles, etc.) but hey, humor doesn't always tickle the same part of the brain, right? And I promise, I've been vewy vewy quiet, hunting these wabbits, not leading them into the traps myself.
"ain't ever exactly been similar", which is one of my very favorites for Adam's read and Joss' syncopated rhythm and word choices.
"What in the sphincter of Hell"
"I imagine my eyes would be wider"
when Simon innocs Mal by fairly punching him with the needle
"not that you spit"
"[iFaster. Faster./i] Faster would be better."
"hello? Is everybody here?"
"didn't we have a intricate plan" (which I also love for it's rhythms)
"don't [isay/i] it" and "well, now I know that"
"the voice of the somnambulant public"
"this is my Lovebot"
when Mal asks Mr Universe "please?"
"the Oaty Bar?"
the replay of the Oaty Bar advert
"I got a way? That better'n a plan?"
business, not a line: when Mal runs his hands through his hair on the "good a time as any" line
Mal telling Inara that he hasn't looked in the trunk, and really the whole exchange between them has gotten several pretty strong if quiet reactions every time I've seen it.
another laugh that's not about the line being spoken but about the acting; when the Operative looks around anxiously for Mal as the Lovebot starts the "killed me with his sword" speech
I am so appreciating that people who aren't familiar with either Joss' humor or the patois are getting it down here where the rest of us live. Legs! Legs! Give it some legs!
Thanks for "noble as a grape". I wasn't hearing what it was noble as. When I read it in your post, I thought "noble? grape? well, I guess they [ibecome/i] noble when you make wine out of them" which would be pretty deep and poetical for Jayne, unless I'm still missing something, do tell.
There's something else Jayne says that I'm just not catching the words, though I think maybe I'm catching the meaning alright. In the big bad shoot out, after they've retreated behind the blast doors, Zoe asks Jayne how much ammo they have left and Jayne says some # of
"full clips, plus my" -what? s'cuse me, what? Really? No. What?
Oooooh [ishiny trees!i] Yavanna made shiny trees!

"We got three full cartridges and my swingin' cod."
That'd set me runnin' t'other way.

Jayne says, "We got three full cartridges and my swingin' cod. That's all."

that was odd. I doubled it, and while I was trying to figure out how to avoid doubling it, your response appeared.
You will recognise them by the heavy tromp of their new boots.
