Funny / Will & Grace

• Many of these, but the best episodes in the whole series were the ones with Alec Baldwin as the shady and mysterious Malcolm. Words. Justice. Cannot.
• Jack on Caffeine
• Will and Grace's voicemail from "My Uncle The Car":
  Both: (to the tune of The Brady Bunch) Here's the story of a lovely lady!
  Grace: That's me!
  Both: Who is loving with a very lovely girl!
  Will: That's me!
  Both: Leave a message!
  • Along with Will's subsequent reaction:
  Will: I hate us so hard right now.
• The gang astounded that, somehow, Jack has yet to come out to his mother.
  Grace: Jack, on some level, your mother must know you're gay. I mean...has she met you?
  Karen: Good god, what is the woman, headless?!
• The wedding episode where Tim Curry guest stars is just plain hilarious. Especially when he kisses John Cleese on the lips and flirts with the bride.
  • Also-
    Tim Curry: It's too bad our father isn't alive to see this.
    John Cleese: What?
    Tim Curry: Oh, damn, I knew I forgot something...
  • "We Finsters have a long-standing family tradition of inviting the brother into the wedding bed. Now, now, I'm just checking to see if you think that's weird. Show of hands, how many of you-(Gets pushed off stage by John Cleese)"
  • "It's so touching that you're wearing Mother's suit on your wedding day."
• Grace takes legal action against Will's law firm for an interior design job they refused to pay for. It comes down to an arbitration session but Grace keeps throwing in courtroom jargon inappropriately:
  Mr. Buhl: Miss Adler, though it's clear you know a lot of legal terms, you've yet to use a single one of them properly.
  Grace: May I approach the bench?
  Mr. Buhl: You'd have to build one first.
• " What you worry about Karen, they might find blood in your alcohol?"
• "It's Beelzebooze!"
• One episode features Edward, Karen's Pastry Chef, who ends up having sex with Will and Karen.
  Edward: I don't believe in gay or straight. I refuse to limit pleasure. I like to think of myself as pansexual.
  Karen: Oh my God, he's been humping my pans.
  • At one point (after Karen has had a makeout session with Edward), Will notices the flour handprints on the seat of her skirt.
    Will: Please tell me a school teacher just helped you over a fence.
• Will and Grace decide to have a baby. Jack and Karen think they're gonna do it the old fashioned way and prepare a bed for them. And they think they can watch.
  Jack: Yay! This is gonna be so disgusting!
• Grace: (about Karen) We've gotta keep looking for her. She's out there all alone, the city's full of criminals and murderers. She could hurt one of them.
• "Cheaters, Part II": Will has invited his father George over for dinner and George has brought over his mistress Tina. Despite this, Will, George and Tina all pretend that the situation is not awkward and inappropriate at all, which is clearly uncomfortable and frustrating for Grace. Eventually, the conversation shifts to weather and this is when Grace really breaks down.
  Grace: But it's...it's never too hot to rain. I remember this one summer day... The weather was perfect. Or at least we thought it was perfect. But then this hot front came in from the west. (voice breaks) This hot skinny front... (tearfully) And it made it rain. And we couldn't ride our bicycles...And nothing was ever good ever again!

  Tina: That really is bad weather!

  Will: Grace...

  Grace: (Sobbing) I'm so confused! I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone and all the other people are pigs... and I'm the pretty one, but everyone thinks I'm ugly, because they're all pigs and they think pigs are pretty!

  Tina: I like the one with Burgess Meredith when he broke his glasses.

  George: Yeah, he was The Penguin, too. Remember? And you know where penguins live, it's really cold.

  Grace: I cannot do this anymore! I am sorry! There is a problem in this room that nobody's talking about!

  Tina: Ok! Ok, ok... I'll say it. You've got a boob coming out.

  Grace: I have got to get out of this room... Right now.

• One Christmas Episode where the gang invite hotel personnel to their room and sing carols just to annoy them.
  • I remember the reason being that they wanted to go caroling but were too lazy to actually get up and do it. The closing scene of the episode involved all of them following some poor sod out the door as they sang. The icing on the cake was Leo hiking his leg in the air.
• Will, Grace and Sandra Bernhardt sing Midnight Train To Georgia.
  Grace: I've got to go! I've got to go! I've got to go!

  Will: Woo-hoo!
• Will's surprising fanboy-ism to Jennifer Lopez.

• Well, I'll need a little money from the ATM...
• Grace sings "Mandy".
• ALL of Karen's digs at Beverly Leslie, mostly about his Transparent Closet and diminutive stature.
  • Especially funny is when Leslie accuses Karen of outing him at a Republican fundraiser. Karen acts offended, claiming it was a misunderstanding. Cue Jump Cut to flashback.
    Karen: (over loudspeaker) Attention, Republicans: Beverly Leslie is a homosexual.
• Britney Spears episode, Britney Spears episode is hysterical (Buy Buy Baby) "Eat it Snort It Or Ride It baby"

• The season 9 trailer. So many moments.

  • After she gets fired from the job, she still leaves something behind — a trucker hat that reads "Make America Gay Again".
• Karen, who supported Trump, has apparently taken to shouting "Lock her up!" whenever Grace wears an outfit she doesn't like.
• Grace looks inside a box on Trump's desk to find an English-Russian dictionary and a fidget spinner.
• The pillow fight in the Oval Office.
• Lorraine turns up at Rosario's funeral, and the tension and verbal catfight between her and Karen is so intense, Will and Grace can't even stand!
  Lorraine: I heard as soon as I came.
  • Karen insists that she and Lorraine will not have a threeway again.
  Karen: (to Lorraine) Do you know how humiliating it was for me to have to finish myself off in front of your father?!
  (Grace almost falls off of the pew she and Will are sitting on, her face likely mirroring that of the audience.)
• From the Season 9 Christmas Episode "A Gay Olde Christmas":
  • Grace as Fanny in 1912 raves about a new food concoction. "Two chocolate biscuits with cream in between. They're called 'Ow-reeohs'."

• In "Friends and Lover", Jack and Karen get infected by a commercial Ear Worm and resort to slapping it out of each other. It doesn't work.

  • Later, when talking to McCoy.
    McCoy: [baffled] You had phone sex with Karen?
    Will: It wasn't consensual.

• Grace having three prospective fathers for her unborn child reminds Karen of the plot of Mamma Mia!, and she starts singing the title song. Grace, who at first sounds annoyed, quickly joins in, and on the following Establishing Shot, the windows in the building are turning on and off to the music.
• Jack turns out to be an excellent basketball player due to having practiced for an audition for High School Musical. He didn't get the part, largely due to the fact that it was a high-school production and he wasn't a student.
• Will is playing catch with Jack as practice for when Will becomes a father and throws the basketball so hard it breaks Jack's pinky finger. Jack sees it and faints. Then comes to and thinks it was All Just a Dream, until he sees the finger and faints again. Then comes to again and is relieved to see his hand is fine, only to then see the right hand and faint a third time.
• Karen getting a DNA sample from a handsome man by kissing him and then swabbing her own mouth.

  • When Karen plays Lucy in the wine vat sketch from "Lucy's Italian Movie", the Italian woman is none other than Beverly Leslie, saying an Italian version of his Catchphrase. ("Vene, vene, vene!")
  • While Will is Ricky in all the recreations, the other three take turns playing Lucy, Fred and Ethel. That means that Jack gets to be both Lucy and Ethel, and Karen gets to be Fred.
• "It's Time", the second series finale:
  • There's a Running Gag of the painting at Will's apartment being mistaken for a portrait of Will. Will's explanation of what it really is ends up describing him in a non-flattering way.
  • The surprise appearance of Lorraine as a cabbie.
  • Everyone is on the Statue of Liberty's torch when Jack learns that the part he's been understudying for is open. He walks around the torch and instantly comes out fully dressed in costume!

• One episode has Grace going to great lengths to keep Will from abandoning her (something he's not even hinting at) after she hears that someone she knows was abandoned by her gay ex-boyfriend. Grace eventually explains her actions in a panicked tone. Will responds "Have you been gargling with bong water?"
