* The whole EpicFail attempt by the gang-bangers in "4x4" to rob the taco man counts as both a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome and a SugarWiki/{{Funny|Moments}} at the same time. The gang-bangers pull out their knives and threaten the taco man, [[SeenItAll who's not impressed]]. He stabs one of them with a carving knife and whacks the other one in the face with a pan of hot grease, causing them to run away. When Grissom asks the taco man why he didn't report it to the police, the taco man replies that the police have enough things to do, and this incident wasn't even worth bothering them. When he establishes that one of the gang-bangers carjacked a couple's Humvee to run over the taco stand for revenge, only to drive the wrong way down a one-way street and run over another car instead, Gil's face and now-legendary response are priceless: "[[StupidestThingIveEverHeard I think this is the dumbest thing we've ever heard.]]"
** Just the way Brass sums up their hare-brained scheme: "[[LetMeGetThisStraight Let me get this straight]], Larry: [[NeverMessWithGranny an old man]] [[WhenEldersAttack refuses to let you steal his money]], so you [[DisproportionateRetribution jack a Hummer and try to run over his taco stand?]]"

The victim's friend, a rural gas station owner, explains that [[spoiler: the victim was gored by a deer the two were trying to dress, only to have it turn out NotQuiteDead. He then tries to [[TooDumbToLive clean out the wound with a high-pressure air hose]], but the nozzle gets stuck and, well, he ''inflates'' himself to death.

The sister (who is the OnlySaneMan of the family ''despite'' being [[spoiler: the one who stole the house in the first place]]) is trying to get her brothers to stop fighting, and one of them replies that she's "not even their real sister anymore", since it was discovered during the episode that she has a different father than her brothers. Her exasperated "We have the same mother, you ''idiot''!" was hilarious.

This leads Hodges to conclude to that Grissom likes sexually adventure women like Lady Heather... in front of Sara.

** Earlier, the football coach wakes up heavily bleeding, yet continues his morning routine such as brushing his teeth, eating breakfast, and picking up the newspaper, oblivious to his severe injury, until he drops dead in front of a passing police officer. Turns out this is due to bone fragments destroying the part of the brain that controls thought and reason, but the part that controls instincts and rituals remained intact, leaving him in a zombie state.

* The main case of "Field Mice" has Hodges and Wendy bringing two high school students to the lab to study an old case. What makes it funny is that the case is being told as if Hodges and Wendy were the main investigators, so everything is told from the point of view of the analysts. So Brass gets turned into a guy who likes drinking, Doc Al Robbins becomes a corner who likes watching cat videos and taking the credit from David, and Langston is now the trace analyst.

* In "Evaluation Day", there's the interview the two college girls who are found driving in a stolen car (which, unknown to them, has human remains inside) while half-naked. They were playing strip poker when their eccentric date creeped them out enough for them to race off without their clothes and steal the nearest car. They're so hungover that they get queasy when the investigators say the word "drink."


Added DiffLines:

* In "The Finger", the killer outsmarts the team and nearly makes a clean getaway, only to get arrested for speeding by a cop who Catherine had sped past in that same car earlier while testing to see what kind of tread marks it leaves. The cop thought it was the same driver and wasn't willing to let a speeder go twice in a row.

** The first victim of the episode's death turns out to be like something from Series/OneThousandWaysToDie. He was trying to kill his [[SitcomArchNemesis long-standing nemesis]], "Raccoon-Zilla", by luring it to the bottom of a pipe, pumping in flammable gas, and tossing in a match. Unfortunately, the gas was pooled at the bottom of the pipe, and the match would always go out before reaching it, so the guy decided to just shoot the raccoon. The resulting explosion launched both man and raccoon through a nearby window, with the raccoon attached to his face as it went in for one last defiant bite. Dissatisfaction
