Funniest moments/lines in Gail's Birds of Prey

[Chris Lang]

I thought it'd be fun to open a thread asking people to name their favorite funny moments or lines in Gail's 'Birds of Prey' run so far. Forgive me if this thread has been done before.

One of my favorites is in Gail's very first issue. The whole exchange between Dinah and Barbara after Dinah returns from the 'spook' bit is really good (I loved how Dinah forgot she was still wearing those 'spooky eyes').

Another favorite moment is the 'Bat-villain henchmen union meeting' in, I think, #75. I loved how that Mr. Freeze henchman wouldn't shut up about his frozen buttock.

I'm sure I can come up with some more later. But what are YOUR favorite funny moments and/or lines within Gail's run in 'Birds of Prey'.

I loved the name calling in #98. :)

" Spinster ! Old Maid ! Dateless wonder ! "

Shiva punching Cheshire in the jaw. AH HA.

And from the same arc, the entire exchange when Dinah knocks Chesire out the window and into the pool, and Shiva just calmly walking down the stairs.

Also: "I do not wish to see these things."

Pretty much anything in Sensei and Student had its moments. But that one, yeah.

'...perfectly good set of stairs...'

'That's the problem with amateurs - the histrionics. No sense of grace at all.'

BoP 59: Canary as she is sliding down the stairs, ass high in the air with 2 broken legs ...

"If there's anything sharp at the end of this banister, I'm going to be filled with regrets."

That got a huge rise out of me.

I'm partial to Catwoman's line: "Assassin in trunk..."

Helena's "Never mess with the crazy girls" is right up there as well.

I have to say my all-time favorite moment isn't that funny, though I laughed myself silly about it. It's Canary punching Chesire out of the airplane.

"I must admit, that looks quite painful."

This is my fave, as well. Possibly my favorite Birds of Prey moment, in fact.

Every vehicle should have one.

[Melbourne Mew Mew]

"You drive. I call shotgun."
"But Shiva's already in that seat."
"No, I mean..."

[TheSaltedSuperman]

The "Babs cyber-did it!" convo makes me chuckle even when thinking about it in passing.

Dinah's chili in #75.

The three little girls playing hopscotch in #68 who call Dinah, Babs, and Helena "mental."
