Pennyworth / Funny

BEWARE OF SPOILERS.

Season 1

1 - Pilot

Dave Boy decides to rescue Alfred from the Raven Society, and also decides that the best way to do that is to go in guns blazing and yelling at Alfred from the outside.
Dave Boy: "Alfie! It's me, Dave Boy! Saving your Sassenach arse again!"
- Then, instantly after, Dave Boy gets shot at... by an elderly lady with a BFG. Then, when he is saved by Bazza, Dave Boy could only look on in shock that Bazza shot the old woman to save his life.
Dave Boy: "You shot a granny!"
Bet and the henchman she brought with her soon find out how bad an idea it is to take the Pennyworths hostage. Especially the henchman, who becomes the recipient of a damn good kicking from Mum and Dad. What also sells it is the cheeky little wink Mr Pennyworth gives his son before he and Mrs Pennyworth deliver said kicking.

2 - The Landlord's Daughter

Although the scene is very grisly, the televised execution is a source of some Black Comedy in the form of the reporter, who is commenting on the execution with the same emotional weight as a weatherman forecasting clear skies. Furthermore are some of the signs the spectators had brought with them, one, in particular, featuring a drawing of a stick figure hanging from some gallows, with the letters YO_R_ F_CK_D written at the bottom.
- Another Black Comedy moment for British viewers comes in the form of the first to be executed, a white-haired gentleman being hanged for rape. His name? James Savile.
- And in true British Fashion, after watching, Mrs. Pennyworth remarks, "Writhing in pain with scaley demons. Beat I'll put the kettle on."

3 - Martha Kane

Ian Thurso, an Expy of Alan Turing, gets excited after his new invention successfully calculates pi. Sam, his rustic boyfriend, is equal parts unimpressed and confused, and he thinks that Ian is talking about pie.
Sam: "What's pie got to do with it?"
Dave Boy is discussing being paid five pounds an hour ^Note to put Ian, a homosexual, on an airplane. He then adds that for that kind of money he would give him a wank along the way.
A drunk Dave Boy is told that he smells like he had soiled himself, so he decides to strip down to his tighty not-so-whities... in a room full of people who are trying to play cards, Bazza included.
Martha posing as Ian Thurso's lawyer, and her act is based purely on the stereotype that lawyers "carry briefcases and act like assholes."
Ian's boyfriend is making a "victim's statement" to a kindly policewoman who is treating him as though he is ashamed of being sexually assaulted (he wasn't). Sam is more flummoxed than ashamed.
Sam: "I mean, your Brian sucked me off at the Harvest Festival, and, well, he's not here."
Policewoman: (looking as if Sam had suddenly grown two heads) "... Let's stick to the current investigation, shall we?"

4 - Lady Penelope

As DI Aziz admonishes Alfred for working for Martha Kane, and warning him of the coming civil war, he asks rhetorically how many people in the nightclub understood war and could command men in battle. In response, Alfred points to a buxom young stripper waving her, ahem, assets around, and then he tells him that she could invade Russia all on her own.
- Then almost immediately after, Aziz notes that the Queen was quite taken with Alfred. So Alfred asks him to tell her that he fancies her too. Respectfully, of course.
Mr and Mrs Pennyworth watching the ceiling and listening... while Alfred is upstairs having sex.
Martha is worried about the Raven Society poisoning their tea. Alfred? Not so much.
Alfred: "The Raven Society may be a bad lot but they're not bloody Italians."
Demonic-looking Morris dancers in raven costumes. That is all.

5 - Shirley Bassey

John Ripper takes Alfred out for a run... which then turns into a running montage that is shot exactly like something out of a Rocky movie, down to Alfred wearing exactly the same outfit. They even run up some museum steps!
After his cover is blown, Dave Boy pulls out a gun and forces the kitchen staff inside the meat locker. But being a busy restaurant, waiters keep coming in and Dave Boy is forced to add them to his prisoners. Cut to Julian Thwaite complaining about the waiter taking so long.

6 - Cilla Black

Patricia has some... rather choice words when it comes to her brother's disapproval of her lifestyle choices.
Patricia: (slurring, obviously drunk or high) Ugh, fuck off you sanctimonious cocksucker!

7 - Julie Christie

8 - Sandie Shaw

Alfred is understandably less than willing to accept Bet's help in hunting down Curzon.
Bet: I haven't done anything to ya!
Alfred gives her a deadpan glare
Bet: ...Recently.
Alfred, Dave Boy, and Bazza calmly having a conversation about Curzon while a Bar Brawl breaks out behind them between people in favor of and against the Raven Society. Dave Boy is more concerned with whether he'll have a chance to finish his pint before going after a lead.
When Alfred confronts Aziz over Curzon, the detective asks if Alfred's threatening him. When Alfred bluntly confirms this, Aziz thanks him for clarifying that, as he didn't want to just give in.
There is something oddly amusing and out of place about a brightly coloured ice cream truck at a fascist rally.

9 - Alma Cogan

There's something chuckle-worthy about the barely-concealed contempt that the Sykes sisters have for Lady Harwood.
- Later, the pair are less than impressed with the location chosen for the meeting with the No Name League (an ancient stone circle) due to the lack of bathrooms.
When Mr. Pennyworth reads a newspaper article about how the Americans are planning to put a man on the moon, he has to explain to his confused wife that it's not a form of criminal punishment.

10 - Marianne Faithful

When Alfred's team, Martha, and Thomas are driving to rescue the Queen, Martha and Thomas' personal conversation leads to her realizing that he's sexually attracted to her. Everyone else is left thoroughly uncomfortable by the situation.
As if it weren't absurd enough that the Sykes sisters are making the captive Queen play a card game with them, the Queen does well enough that Bet is sure she's cheating.
Peg: She's been kidnapped, had a knife to her throat, and her throne's in peril, and you think she's taking the time to cheat at "Happy Family"? (beat, before she turns to the Queen) You're not, are you?
Dave Boy's Major Injury Underreaction to being stabbed in the shoulder. He just stares at it and comments, "Well, would you look at that."
The fact that the Queen of England gets Alfred into her bed. Afterwards, he's left completely flustered.

1 - The Heavy Crown

Martha and Thomas discuss their tryst at the end of last season.
Thomas: We had a relationship, dammit.
Martha: We made out; I had your cock in my hand for maybe five seconds and then you got shot. That's not a relationship, that's a funny story.
Thomas: Names changed to protect the innocent, I hope.
Martha: Hell, no.

10 - The Lion and Lamb

Gulliver Troy has a thing to say about his unflattering Powered Armor before he gets deployed in combat against the Raven Union...
Gulliver: I feel like a bloody Christmas tree.
