She was determinedly focusing her attention on anything but the raucous cheering behind her, dancing along to the beat from the snail. Jango and Fullbody were expected. The rest of her crew, she supposed she should have expected to crack sooner or later. But she had higher standards. She was more professional than this. She would not look at the party that was going on behind her, despite how tempted she was to do so. She would not allow herself to move to the music, despite how very tempted she was to do so.

Jake: Oh-kay!
Brooklyn Nine-Nine, season 2 episode 22, "The Chopper"

Heh, kinda ironic, wasn't it? Despite acting mature all the time and condemning the others for their childish behavior, I guess I was still pretty childish myself...

Please. This IS a crackfic, even I can't be rational all the time.
Shota Aizawa, Hysterical

Mission Vao: Hey Bastila. You ever use the Force just for fun? You know, a little jolt of the Force to trip some jerk who's ticking you off?
Bastila Shan: I would never use the Force for such petty and trivial revenge! The mere thought of it is preposterous!
Mission: Ah, come on. There's got to be times when you've thought of it. Don't be so stuck up- you can tell me.
Bastila: I am not stuck up. I merely have the years of training to give me the wisdom and understanding to see how childish such an act would be.
Mission: Childish? Is that a crack about my age? You ain't much older than me, miss high and mighty! Just 'cause you're some Jedi doesn't mean you can be a prissy little- (Bastila trips her with the Force) What the-?? Hey, that wasn't funny!
Bastila: I have no idea what you're talking about, Mission. Come now, we have to get going. Please do try to be less clumsy in the future.

Dr. Kelso: I go to bed some nights wondering. And do you know what happens to me, Perry? I fall asleep. And I mean like a log, brother.
[One prank in which everyone is led to believe that Kelso is dead later:]
Dr. Cox: Hey Bob-cat. Welcome back. Look, this whole thing was a joke that admittedly got a little out of hand. And in the meantime, this blank check outta cover the damage.
Dr. Kelso: A joke? You think it's funny they already gave away my parking spot? You think it's funny that one of the surgeons paid his dwarf cousin Lance to show up at rounds and sing "Ding Dong Kelso's Dead"?! [Snatches the check out of Cox's hand.]
Dr. Cox: And there it is.
Dr. Kelso: There what is?
Dr. Cox: This whole "I don't care what people think about me" act? It's pretty convincing. But methinks that there's a sad little cartoon boy living inside the hairy beast. And he's sad because at the end of the day he realises that the only thing people think about is what an evil son-of-a-bitch he really is.
Scrubs, "My Kingdom"

Gene: Babe, there's a new episode of your show on tonight.

Lucien: You know, these lands are a bit strange. And I think we're all trying to guide eachother in a very incorrect direction.
Beau: No. No, we're all following you as the de facto leader. We are not all following eachother, we're following you.
Lucien: I don't know. Seems like quite a bit of you are making your own paths as well.
(Beau gives him a look)
Lucien: YES, I'M LOST, ALRIGHT?! You don't have to be a dick about it!
