  • At the end of their video for "Take a Chance on Me", when Frida strides off the stage, and Benny hops off his chair and goes scuttling after her.
  • The "Tiger" music video. ABBA trying to look like a gang of thugs in denim.
  • The photo on the cover of their first Greatest Hits album: Frida and Benny being Sickeningly Sweethearts on one end of the bench, whilst Agnetha and Bjorn — staring into the middle distance and reading a magazine, respectively — sit on the other end, ignoring each other.note 
  • "I Am an A", the silly, witty song about each member with the ones waiting their turn snarking in the background.
  • A performance of "Honey, Honey" has Frida leaning on Benny's piano teasing him that he'll never get rid of her, complete with an almost ominous, though light-hearted, nod.
  • The video for "Head Over Heels" offers up a number of comedic moments:
    • Frida slipping and almost falling when she rushes out of a building.
    • Björn is shown sleeping on a couch as Agnetha sings "Her man is one I admire", at which he perks up and mouths "ME?!" with a disbelieving look on his face before falling right back asleep.
    • Björn playing the part of the exhausted, long-suffering boyfriend/husband and pack mule to a very domineering, high-energy Frida.
    • Frida making funny faces towards the end. At the end, she collapses on the couch next to Björn, who cuddles with a pillow and falls asleep again.
