For me the funniest moment in this episode actually comes right at the end...and it made me laugh out loud...

When John and Mrs Hudson are standing at Sherlock's grave...John says he's really angry, and Mrs Hudson says "me too" then launches into this big tirade about how messy Sherlock was and how he was always leaving things lying around and she goes on and on, and John says "ok I'm not THAT angry". I just found that really funny...

John: "I always hear 'punch me in the face' when you're speaking - but it's usually subtext!"

oh sorry - wrong episode. remove it or overlook it!

Well then. Here's my favourite funny Reichenbach moment:

John, looking for Mycroft in the Diogenes Club is ignored by the gentlemen present.
JOHN: No takers? Right. (He raises his voice.) Am I invisible? Can you actually see me?

Don't worry, it's a good line anyway!

And no talking in the Diogenes Club!!

I'm sorry I can't help it but I laugh so much.

When the scene opens up on the roof. That song just cracks me up whenever I hear it now.

I know that's a different Ep but it cracks me up when his phone goes off at the pool side - "mind if I get that?"...off topic sorry.

The staying alive music :D I'm not the only one with it as my ring tone

I'm tragic, I have that AND the Irene Adler message tone.

Currently watching Reichenbach again but can only get through about 10 minutes at a time before I think of some theory, question or comment that I need to come and post on here. At the moment I'm up to the part where the kids go missing and there were two bits really close together I found rather hilarious.

Firstly when they arrive at the school and Sherlock questions the teacher in that really rough way then says "I believe you, I just needed you to speak quickly" followed by "she'll need to breathe into a bag now". John's look is priceless.

And then when they're in the room and they see the Help Us message left by the little boy. Anderson makes some snide remark that it doesn't really help them and Sherlock says, "Brilliant Anderson. Brilliant impression of an idiot." Oh right and just before that bit when he's sniffing the cricket bat and stuff, so funny, he's like a sniffer dog!

Now that you mention the cricket bat: It always reminds me of a left behind witch's broom!

One of the funniest moments for me is when Sherlock tries "not to be myself" in order to not frighten the little girl and to do this turns his coat collar down.

Yes!! I watched the episode last night and I thought about posting this too. It's so funny.
And the moment in the court when the judge asks Sherlock to not show off and then he breathes deeply to start saying something... that always makes me laugh too.

'Try giving smart-arse a wide berth!' always makes me laugh. That and when Lestrade says that Sherlock always makes them want to scream when they see him.

Great use of comic relief between intense scenes.

I never noticed that about the collar! lol

It always cracks me up when Sherlock is taken away by the police and the superintendent is badmouthing him to John and Sally, then they show John get a look in his eye and pull back a bit-- then it just cuts to him being arrested too lol Brilliantly done lol

Very briefly shown - but so funny due to the reference to ACD.
This newspaper clipping in Reichenbach:

Mattlocked · September 20, 2012 3:59 pm

Yesterday I wanted to check all those newspaper articles in TRF... but I couldn't pause the film. I just couldn't. Strange...

veecee · September 20, 2012 6:15 pm

I've wondered how much was really text in the articles. Everyone claims there's just enough about Sherlock in them, but Moftiss doesn't really want us to see it.

I have it as well. ;) My notification (text, voice mail) is Moriarty saying, "No rush."

sherlockedkt · September 21, 2012 8:53 pm

I love love love "Brilliant impression of an idiot," and this one:

John: "Intelligent, fine. Let's give smart-arse a wide berth."
Sherlock: "I'll just be myself."
John: "Are you listening to me?!"

Cracks me up every time!

Mattlocked · September 21, 2012 10:14 pm

The first one reminds me of this one
