I loved it when John called Sherlock "nurse" in SoT. And Sherlocks reaction.

Can we just put the entire Stag Night on a loop and build a shrine to it?

It shouldn't be so funny...BUT.

When Sherlock is strutting around 221b , in the blue dressing gown, bored!

And then gets blown up...omg his face here.
The funniest bomb attack ever...obviously.

I love all of these. I thought I'd add the scene in TRF where John comes in from showering, simply passes the hanging dummy, sits down to read the paper and says, "So, did you just talk to him for a really long time?" It always makes me chuckle.

That is one of my favorites, too!

I like to think that this also is what happened on the rooftop: Sherlock talking to Moriarty a very long time (pushing all his buttons at the right time) and then he killed himself. Might be a bit of foreshadowing.. a hilarious one!

John: But it's Christmas!
Sherlock: I feel the same! Oh, you mean it's actually Christmas.

Mycroft: Am I happy, too? I haven't checked.

John and Sherlock getting drunk in season 3 made me chuckle. Also Sherlock "camouflaging" himself moments before revealing his existence to John at the restaurant.

"Ah, Hudders!"

The entire drunk Sherlock part. By far the funniest and longest screen-time goofiness of the whole series. =D

tonnaree · February 1, 2014 5:12 am

"I know ASH"!

mrshouse · February 1, 2014 12:41 pm

" are you wearing any pants?"
"no"
"ok"

ah ha ha ha staying alive
Oh yes LOL! I actually heard the song recently and of course I couldn't help but think of the beginning of ASiB. The resolution was a bit of a cop out but the ringtone really did fit Jim all too well LOL!

And the way Sherlock gives Moriarty "permission" to answer.

"No."
"It was Mycroft,"

Among others.

"High functioning Sociopath, with your number XD"

If I ever need a laugh, his face there is all I need!

That one is my absolute faves too, I howl laughing every time he says it!

Oh, the entire Christmas with the Holmes'. Not only the dialogues are fantastic, but just thinking about how... domestic they're all acting cracks me up. Not to mention the fact that we KNOW from ASiP that they call their mother "Mummy".)

Mummy: Mikey, is this your laptop? (SHE CALLS HIM MIKEY!! Ahahaha!)
Mycroft: Upon which depends the security of the free world, yes, and you've got potatos on it.
-You shouldn't leave it around if it's so important. (Like she's talking about his homework! XD)

Mummy: *completely exasperated*: "We are here because Sherlock is home from hospital and we're all very happy!"
Mycroft : *big smile*: Am I happy, too? I haven't checked."

"Behave, Mike!" (Someone just told the mighty Mycroft to "behave"! If she can say that to Mycroft, she can make Chuck Norris eat his vegtables.)
"Mycroft is the name you gave me. If you could possibly struggle all the way to the end."

"ARE YOU TWO SMOKING?"
"No!"
"It was Mycroft!"
(Look at their expressions and body stances! Two times funnier when you remember that she's Benedict's real mother.)

"Punch me in the face."
"Punch you?"
"Yes; in the face. Didn't you hear me?"
"I always hear 'punch me' when you're speaking. But it's usually subtext."

"Aaaah, Hudders."

Sherlock: "Now, onto some funny stories about John." *sees everyone sniffling and wiping their eyes* "What's wrong? What happened? Why are you all doing that? John? Did I do it wrong?" (His tone gets to me every time.)

John: Can you whisper?
Lestrade: NOT REALLY!

John: *to Irene*: Could you put something on, please? Anything at all. A napkin? *offers her his napkin*

The part where Sherlock shoos his parents out of the door and looks absolutely mortified, like a teenager caught shopping with his parents by a classmate. XD

Also, Christmas at 221B when Sherlock says, "It was me." (the moan that was his text tone.). Molly and Lestrade's expressions are just brilliant.

Anderson: "Rache. It's German for revenge."
Sherlock: Yes, thank you for your input. *shuts the door in his face*

"Sherlock: Did he offer you money to spy on me...?
John: Yes.
Sherlock: Did you take it?
John: ...No?
Sherlock: Pity, we could've split the fee. Think it through next time. "

And my favourite one:

John: Here to see the Queen?
(Mycroft walks in)
Sherlock: Oh, apparently yes.
(laughing)

To me, the funniest moment in the series has got to be the first glimpse of Sherlock driving in THOB. I know why that is from a production point of view (Martin can't drive), but it is so incongruous with a character who can't bother to do something so mundane as go grocery shopping. We could have seen Sherlock brushing his teeth or doing laundry and I would have been just as floored.

What makes it so funny is that absolutely no mention was made of how absurd it is for Sherlock to be driving. There's no scene at ther rental agency with an argument over who gets to drive, no comments from John on Sherlock's driving, etc.

And let's not get into the motorbike scene in TEH, where we learn that he can ride one like a boss. Can you imagine being his driving instructor?!

As for the awesome Christmas scene ("Someone's put a bullet in my boy", sniff, sniff), if Mycroft is Mikey, I wonder if Sherlock was Billy growing up?

Maybe he was "Sherl"? XD
As in, "Surely you can't be serious?"
"I am serious, and stop calling me Shirey!"

Sherl (*gags*) reminds me of the funniest John scene in the whole series, everything from the moment Janine walks out of Sherlock's bedroom wearing only one of his shirts through Sherlock and Janine kissing. The expressions on his face (especially the WTF kind of rabbit hole did I just fall into one at the first kiss) and his obsession with it while Sherlock is focused on Magnussen is gold.

Second favourite John scene is from SIB. "I suppose you don't remember much. You weren't making a lot of sense. Oh, and I should warn you, I think Lestrade filmed you on his phone." With that little wince. And it was hilarious that Lestrade wanted to do this again in HLV!

Speaking of Lestrade, "Ooh, you bastard!" in TEH and, in SIP, a very nonchalant, isn't it obvious, what do you think I'm doing, "It's a drugs bust."
