rachg82Hey, y'all. So, it's my turn now for the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
bones_ga Love Month, and if there's anything I love doing, it's spamming people with a giant entry. Combine that with my love of lulzy moments & whattya get? Why, a picspam, of course. This picspam, to be precise.
The set-up for this one is pretty simple: 31 days in August + shamelessly large picspam = 31 random Bones moments that make me laugh. With commentary! Ooh la la.
Disclaimer: These are in no particular order of preference, except for #1, and this list is in no way exclusive. I definitely could've come up with more moments, and I encourage folks to add their own favorites in the comments. Let's amp up the spam levels, yo!
1. "Sooo I can shoot them…"
"Booth: Name?
Brennan: You know my name.
Booth: Bones, you are making an official request to the FBI to be allowed to carry a concealed weapon. I have to follow protocol.
Brennan: It’s ridiculous.
Booth: Fine, then we’re done here. Do you wanna get some coffee?
Brennan: My name is Dr Temperance Brennan.
Booth: Reason for wanting a gun?
Brennan: To shoot people.
Booth: Not a good response.
Brennan: It’s the truth.
Booth: You know, I’m writing, “self-defense in the performance of my duties pursuing suspected felons as contracted out to the FBI.”
Brennan: …Sooo I can shoot them."
Honestly, this isn't just my favorite lulzy moment of the series, it's probably my favorite moment, period. I know it's a small moment, mind you, but it's just so damn bantery & smartassalicious, and it cracks me up every. single. time.
2. "Oooh! Let me try!"
Hodgins' impression of Booth is way too good. Someday, he really needs to perform it for him live, face-to-face. Then probably run. Just sayin'.
3. "They can't hear you, because they're dead."
The way she stretches this line out, delivering it so "let me explain this obvious shit to you slowly, so that you might just get it", kills me. No pun intended. (Okay, maybe intended a little.)
Also, his face when she starts tapping his shoulder -- I can't even. Haha. All I want for Christmas this year are more B/B stakeouts.
4. "Sherman, you're lookin' guiltier by the minute."
I'm tempted to just list this entire episode ("The Man in the Bear") as one moment. Everything from Booth pouting over cold eggs, to "What am I? A shaman?", to Brennan with that bedpan, it's all equally delightful. But, for some reason, that little exchange above between Sherman & the Sheriff amuses me especially.
5. "She loves to write."
"Riku Iwanaga: Dr. Reichs' relationship with Agent Andy is based on you and Booth. The quite notorious sex life they share and…
Brennan: What? No, we are not them. They're fiction. Wha-what are you writing? Uh, you started writing before I answered!
Angela: She loves to write."
This is another one of those episodes that pretty much just cracked me up from start to finish (as can easily be gauged by this recap), which is funny because I remember it wasn't that well-loved amongst my flist. Not that people were unhappy with it -- they just weren't rockin' the capslock is all. But even now, the utter meta-ness of the whole thing, like Bones' books legit = Bones fanfic (ON BONES), I just. Yeah. Way to be super transparent, Brennan! P.S. I love you.
6. "Stop! Or I'll kick you in the testicles!"
I don't think an explanation is even needed, here. It's too priceless.
7. "Elephants are not purple. This is wrong."
Her faaaace.
Please, God, grant me the strength not to tackle-hug my television screen come fall.
8. "How am I gonna enjoy this party knowing that my best friend in the whole world is in the lab, eyeball to eyeball with Skeletor?"
The instant mental image I get from this line--
--is probably largely responsible for its inclusion here. Yes, I watched He-Man as a kid. '80s babies, represent.
9. "Bones, simmer down."
"Booth: Are you two high?
Angela: Only by accident, so it doesn’t count."
Inebriated TV characters are a guilty pleasure love of mine. Pretty much can't get enough of them, especially when they're normally straight-laced or serious. It's a commonly used trope amongst most of my fandoms.<--Like I said: massive picspams + me = likethis.
10. "Can you hand me one of the puddings?"
I wonder if they scripted it for Booth to slap his spoon on top of the pudding, or whether it was ad-libbed by DB; either way, classic.
11. "Fresh dead; long-time dead."
There's a reason I included it in my first fic! I love this line. I'm hoping we see more of Cam next season.
12. "Jesus is not a zombie."
Their facial expressions in some of these pics make this entire thing worthwhile for me. Heh. I was laughing while compiling most of them.
13. "He that won't be counseled can't be helped."
It was Zooey's delivery of this line that sold it for me, like you can actually see her peeking through her character, messing with her sister. Haha. I imagine she & Emily had a lot of fun making this episode together.
14. "Uh, there’s a Parker & Parker Leather Goods owned by the Parker brothers on Parker Street in the town of Parker, just outside of Arlington. That’s a lot of Parkers."
I'll admit, I busted a gut over this one. Its wording & comedic timing is just so perfectly ridiculous & absurd.
15. "Here. Have a glass of water."
"It's like - it's like you two missed your moment, then you punished each other for it, and you know who ends up paying the price? Me. I do."
Sweets was so the effed-up mascot for fandom in this scene, can I just say. Him clutching that pillow, all ~where's a security blanket when you need one/I am this close to lying in a fetal position~, had me rolling. Like, "HOW CAN YOU TWO DO THIS TO ME?"
16. "Uh, are we doing experiments on Booth? Because, if so, I'd like to help."
It was a tie between this moment and…
"Anyone for mistletoe?"
Who didn't laugh at that ish? C'mon. You know you did.
17. "I’m not gonna declare it a murder so you can ~shake things up~."
I tried to find a screenshot of her shaking her fists around as she said this, but alas, I could not. I could, however, find the one above, which also amuses me. Sometimes it's the little things.
18. "I want my bones!"
"Brennan: I want my bones! Did you find my bones?
Booth: Oooh, maybe you just wanna, you know, chill a little?
Brennan: Chill?!
Booth: Yeah, you know, take a pill?
Brennan: Listen, duuude, my lab was violated, my bones are stolen, so I think I’ll remain WARM for a little while longer.
Angela: Honey, maybe you should focus on your breathing.
Booth: Breathing.
Angela: Count to ten.
Booth: Ten.
Angela: Have a shot of Jack.
Booth: Shot of Jack."
I am laughing over these lines all over again now, just typing them up. The first couple seasons had such a great dry wit running throughout each episode. It's still a show that makes me laugh, for sure, but some of the subtlety & style of direction has certainly shifted. I continue to like it, but often in a different way now.
19. "Hot blooded!"
"Tibetan throat singers. Rock on, Bones."
Her high kick + his air guitar = some good-ass times, right thurr. As do Emily & David's DVD commentary for the ep.
20. "Yeah, you miss me…c'mon, say it."
I ♥ him messing with her like this. He's like a little boy, pulling on another girl's pigtails.
21. "Can I shoot it?" "No!"
I miss the gun banter between B/B. Definitely needs to come back more often. Also: costumes, not necessarily undercover ones (though I love undercover ones. Don't get it twisted, now). I WANT A COSTUME PARTY.
22. Two words: flying turkey
No quotes necessary on this one. The slapstick simplicity is enough.
23. "Bones! Nice shot!…What?"
The way she *leans back* before slugging him is ace. Like, she's not frakking around, dude.
24. "What, they were dancing? What?!"
Sex hands FTW. I'm also quite partial to Brennan's "clacka-mow-boom-chicka-mow-mow-boom" in The Gamer in the Grease.
25. "Okay, our tax dollars -- hard at work."
Zackaroniii. *pours one for her homie* (I know he's not dead, but STILL)
26. "The shuttle smells like feet."
This is one of those cases where immature humor-->my weakness. Like, I don't care what you're talking about, if you say something smells like feet, I'm gonna laugh. And coming from Zack, it's even better.
27. "That's not why I did it. I did it to serve JUSTICE."
Hodgins' crazy eyes here totally get me. HE LOVES JUSTICE, OKAY.
28. "Bones! It’s after midnight. Christmas Eve day! Both an eve and a day…it’s a Christmas miracle."
Once again, wacked-out characters: BEST.
29. "Ahoy, the boat!"
WAY TO RUIN HER VACATION, BOOTH. So obnoxious, haha. I love it. He even taps her shoulder with the book, just to be extra-annoying.
30. "That was not good."
I think of this scene every time an ice cream truck comes to my apartment complex, which, during the summer, is every day. Unfortunately--or fortunately, depending on your perspective--there's no clown head on top. I'd take it as a personal shout-out from the universe to my fangirly ways if there were.
31. "He had to go see the school psychologist."
"Booth: Parker had a nightmare.
Brennan: About severed fingers?
Booth: No, it was a singing frog.
Brennan: I don’t see the connection. But then I’m one of those people who thinks that if you dream about a banana, it’s probably just a banana.
Booth: He’s acting up in school, he’s talking back to his mom, he’s not flushing the toilet…
Brennan: He’s a boy.
Booth: Okay, yeah. I get it. You saw a whole lady’s corpse when you were a little girl, and you were fine.
Brennan: Yes. Although, for some reason that I do not understand, I kept staging my own death -- pretending that I drowned in the bathtub, faking electrical shock. It really freaked my parents out. And then once, when Russ found me hanging, he had to go see the school psychologist.
Booth: But otherwise you were fine?
Brennan: Yeah.
Booth: Yeah, okay. Do you dream about bananas a lot?"
WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN. For the love of all that's holy, I just love them both.
And that's it! I hope you guys enjoyed this; I had lots of fun making it.
P.S. To my regular flistmates: no Vid of the Day for this one -- it'll come later.
