Torchwood/Funny

Although it lacks much of the humour of its parent show, Torchwood has had its moments.

For Miracle Day funny moments, see that page.
For The Lost Files funny moments, see that page.

• From "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang":

Gwen: (to an elderly woman on the street) Excuse me, have you seen a blowfish driving a sports car? (woman points) Thank you. Elderly lady: Bloody Torchwood.

• I'm partial to the moment where Gwen yells out "BLOWFISH!"
  • Later on, Jack and John's reunion. First they dramatically walk towards each other is semi slow motion, suck face like they're in a movie, beat the ever living shit out of each other, hold each other up in a Mexican Standoff, then smile and each other and ask how the other has been.....as if this is completely normal.
• Later in that same episode:

Captain John: I think I'm starting to see what he likes about this place...she's beautiful...he's stunning... Gwen: Don't you ever stop? Captain John: Five minutes to live and you want me to behave? Oh, that's gorgeous... Gwen: That's a poodle. Captain John: It's nice! (extremely lascivious look)

• From "Sleeper":

Tosh: Nuclear warheads. Ten of them. Ianto: It's all over. Owen: Beat Let's all have sex. Ianto: And I thought the end of the world couldn't get any worse.

• All of the scene following Gwen walking in on Jack and Ianto's naked makeout session on a desk, particularly the naked hide-and-seek conversation. And, in the category of unintentional puns:

Ianto: There's a package on your desk.

• From 'Greeks Bearing Gifts'

Tosh walks in, Owen's recent autopsy has gone a bit wrong and Gwen is NOT holding back. Gwen: "It turns out that Owen has made a few mistakes. That body is what gender again, Owen?" Owen: "A...male....a man... a very girly man!" Gwen: "That's not all of it, remember, you said gunshot wound, right? Well what was the true cause of death?" Owen: "Unidentified trauma." Gwen: "Yes but what can definitely be ruled out?" Owen: "Gunshot wound..." Gwen: "Gunshot wound!!!! So, Owen, did you actually get any part of your diagnosis correct?" Owen: "....I got that... It...eh...was a skeleton?" Gwen: "Yes you did! Yes you did!"

• • She's singing the "X bone is connected to the X bone" song when Tosh first walks in.
• From "Sleeper," Owen is trying to beg Tosh into setting up a phone. Tosh tells him multiple times, that the The entire. Telephone. Network. Is down! Then Ianto comes in:

Ianto: Mobiles, land lines, tin cans with bits of string, everything. Absolutely everything. No phones, phones all broken. (makes a little phone with his hands) Hello? Anyone there? No! Because the phones aren't working!

• Dead Man Walking, when it isn't awesome or tearjerkerish, has the hilarity of Owen Harper's puking scene and Jack's hilarious reaction.
• In Something Borrowed, Jack mistaking Rhys's harridan of a mother for a shape-shifting alien and holding her at gunpoint.

Jack: Don't move you shape-shifting bitch!

• • And then when she protests she's not an alien:

Jack: Yeah, and the Lone Ranger didn't have a thing for Tonto!

• From Meat:

Gwen: Have you ever eaten alien meat? Jack: Yeah. Gwen: What was it like? Jack: Well, he seemed to enjoy it.
