* In "Brother's Keeper," Murdoch has Higgins help him reenact a suspect's account of a struggle over a gun. Higgins does... and knees Murdoch in the groin, which did ''not'' happen in the account. He flung up his hands in triumph and had a big grin on his face. When called on it, Higgins pointed out that the two men in question were fighting over a gun, and one of them would have tried the move. Brackenreid, much to his own surprise, [[DumbassHasAPoint acknowledges that Higgins is right.]]

* "The Final Curtain" may be one long episode of funny:
** Almost every scene of the investigation occurring on the stage is presented as if it were a play, with sheer HamToHamCombat as all of the characters — even TheStoic Murdoch — present their lines as over the top and dramatically as possible.
** The revelation that one suspect could not have had an altercation with the victim before their murder where Watts and Murdoch thought he was...because ''John Brackenreid'' was having a tryst with the victim — a married woman — at that particular time and place. While Murdoch hams it up on the stage presenting his theory in front of the others, John quietly whispers the truth to Watts, who interrupts Murdoch and relays it as well, leading Murdoch to backtrack on the theory. An impatient Brackenreid demands they explain why they've ruled out the suspect, and Watts and Murdoch each wordlessly argue with each other over who is going to tell him. When the beans are spilled John is embarrassed, Brackenreid seems absurdly pleased, and ''Mrs.'' Brackenreid faints and spends the rest of the episode in denial.
** And the snickering between the two Brackenreids during the double entendre-riddled conversation between John, Brackenreid, and Murdoch that follows, over the fact that the victim's husband [[TheLoinsSleepTonight had not even consummated the marriage]] leading to the hookup. It's capped up with the two sharing a guffaw when a comment is made about the husband not being able to load the bullet which killed the victim into the prop gun.

** The male actor's assumption that William must ''surely'' be haunted and angst-ridden about the ugly events his work exposes him to is also funny on a meta level, as it can be taken as a dis on film's (and television's) overuse of the DefectiveDetective trope. This, in an episode that ''loves'' mocking cheesy film tropes.
