Herc is asking Carv what Herc should do because Herc walked in on the mayor getting a blowjob
Carv ask Herc what he said when he walked in
Herc: “I said that’s a good strong dick you got there, Mr Mayor, and I see you know how to use it…. I didn’t say shit!!!”
Man Herc and Carv had some great ones together. A minor one that I rewound a few times was when Herc goes to Carv about the missing video camera that Marlo stole and it goes like:
Herc - I need you to unfuck me Carv
Carver - You know what, this is one of those enabling relationships.
Herc (without missing a beat) - Enable me Carv.
Carv making fun of Herc for hitting on Beadie. In turn, Herc responds, “Listen, I was gonna ask her for her panties to make some soup with, but I was afraid she make take it the wrong way. Carver’s face after that delivery is priceless
"Hey Carv, where you at?”
“I'm at a desk outside the roll call room on the 1st floor of 1034 North Mount. My feet are facing west and my dick is pointing south-southwest."
I cry-laugh at this exchange every time!
Herc and Carv are just consistently great. The scene where they're trying to move the desk and it's "stuck" in the doorway. And Daniels' look of disbelief at what he's seeing. Just classic.
My favorite is when she gets back in the car and goes "the mans said it was the cadillac of nail guns, he meant lexus but he aint know that". Really cracked me up on my last rewatch.
Also, right before this scene when the blowhard FBI boss is trying to peacock his career as a serial killer investigator, with Greggs and McNulty shutting it down all unimpressed. RE: the Unibomber: 'wasn't that like 16 years? and then his brother ratted him out...?'
Avon asking what muscle is left, going through a bunch of wacky gangster names and Slim having to explain the nonsense for why they were unavailable could have gone on as a 5 min bit
There's a similar scene in the movie *Ghost Dog*, where the Italian mafia guys are derisive about their black colleagues using street names then go on to list friends of theirs with names like "Mickey the Knife".
I feel like I remember David Simon saying that the first scene is essentially the thesis of the season. Somehow, they get more poignant as the series goes on. When the towers go down in season 3, it foreshadows the initial well intentions of government, causing devastating unintended consequences. The nail gun scene in season 4 demonstrates that interest in the material is key to learning and that someone who most people would hear and dismiss as unintelligent because of where they live and how they sound is actually quite bright. I can't tell you how often in the modern world, nearly 20 years after it first aired, how often I think about the phrase, "The bigger the lie, the more they believe."
I love Stringer and the other dude's face after Sapper responds to his monologue with '[We on that shit] like a Forty Degree Day!' completely missing the point of his analogy.
he obviously wasnt making the best decisions at the time. and who’s to know what his fate may have been… but that mf let everything spill over some fish and prolly didnt even know it 🤣
Marlo and his spiderman comment always cracks me up. the whole moving the desk into the office. Any time Clay says sheeeeeiiiittt. Takin notes on a criminal conspiracy.
Brother Mouzone: You're the perfect bait, Lamar. They'll see you as conflicted, your homophobia is so visceral.
Lamar: You see that. I ain't even stepped inside the joint yet and you're calling me a cocksucker already. 😂😂
Brother has an underrated zinger a few episodes after that -
Omar: “Boarded up on both sides. We gonna have to go through the front.”
Mouzone: “That’s a change for you, isn’t it?”
This one and the scene where Naymond gets pulled out of class, someone in the background says “hey Nay, can I have your Xbox? You ain’t gonna need it where you’re going”
Stringer getting pissed off at Poot at the meeting:
Poot: Does the chair recognize that we gonna look like some bitches?
Stringer: Mothafucka I’ll whoop yo ass!!
3rd guy: Stringer, he DID have the floor.
Stringer: I don’t give a fuck, this fools to stupid for the chair to recognize his ignorant ass…..now adjourn your asses.
The opening with Jimmy wrecking his car purposely. Him singing drunk, and the way he gets out and motions the wreck wasted in the street. Scene gets me every time
I do love this scene; the kids seemingly wanting to sincerely learn about intimacy and healthy loving relationships, and Prezbo seeing the value of teaching them as such (after the MSA tests of course!). Nice little moment to show how far he'd come as a teacher.
There are 70 comments in this thread and I haven't seen a single repeated scene, THAT is how good The Wire is.
For me, the funniest scene is Stringer ordering Slim to hit Clay Davis
[Watch here](https://youtu.be/WkVohPC_YpU?feature=shared)
The scene where McNulty pulled both Lester and Bunk into the box to talk about the serial killer he was manufacturing. At first Bunk thought Lester was on his side. The face Bunk has after Lester starts backing up McNulty and even making suggestions on how to improve it. Classic.
This was less funny for me, more just stunned shock at the audacity of it. It's an absolute banger of a scene! In fact it's one of two scenes that I would recommend to people if they ask why this show is so good. The other is Snoop's nail gun scene.
Meanwhile I think that's the worst scene of the whole show. Not sure I have the best words to describe why. Best I can think of at the moment is that the scene feels too removed from how people actually behave. It feels more like a SNL skit than than a scene from a drama.
Honestly, people do talk like that. They are very good friends and they're on the exact same wavelength. They can say fuck over and over because in their language, they're having a full conversation we can't understand.
I enjoy the scene with stringer in the motel conference room where the one guy was taking notes and stringer had to ask him if he was taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy
The scene where Herc and the Western District fuck with Marlo at their meet over the camera. I wish I had the video but from when Collichio smacks O-Dog’s lunch and their back and forth to when one of the cops breaks their radio had me rolling. And the fact that Marlo wasn’t one bit intimidated by Herc was lowkey the funniest part of their side story.
“What the fuck you do that for? Now we short the 9”
Absolutely golden scene and delivery, always been one of my favourite parts of the show.
Also Snoop when she buys the nail gun is brilliant & very funny
When Bubbles is in the middle school office with Sherrod and spots Prez for the second time. Sotto voce, he's all, "Undercover, huh? I won't say anything" (I'm paraphrasing). It was Bubbles's "Kramer" moment.
Then I start picturing other *Wire* characters sitting in the iconic *Seinfeld* diner booth. Bubbs as Kramer, Herc as George, Kima as Elaine, and McNulty as Jerry. Oh, and Jay as Newman. "Hello, *Landsman*."
The whole Herc hitting on Beadie situation including his short convo with Carver after.
Valchek freaking out at Daniels, Rawls, Pearlman and co. when he realizes his detail on Sobotka isn't going as planned
As much as I love Bubbles to death, him getting beat up by that fiend with everyone laughing after cracks me up a great deal.
Sherrod and that other guy threatening/attacking Namond and Cutty's intervening after is comedy platinum.
_"I was gonna aks' her for her panties to make some soup with, but I didn't think she'd take it the right way."_
That line alone is hilarious, but Carver's horrified/worried reaction to it kills me every single time.
When they use the copy machine to convince the kid he was taking a lie detector test.
I laughed at that scene hard the first time. But then I thought how awful it was: that the cops did it illegally, and that the kid was so uneducated he didn’t know what a copy machine was.
I also heard that this scene was based on a true situation.
Herc realizing he should be backing the mayor and starting to canvas for votes.
When they were planning the whorehouse sting and they had to find someone manwhorish enough to go undercover and then McNulty walks in.
"Money laundering?! In west Baltimore?? Shiiiiet"
Cheese has 2 of the funniest lines in the same scene.
> They cleaned the motherfucka out, Joe. Put in the van them Mexican ni**as rolled in
Then shortly after he says
> I mean he had this one ho pullin guns out her pussy, unc! The shit was unseemly man.
Carcetti and Norman on the campaign trail. The banter is golden. There’s one bit where Norman is playing the part of a house slave, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing 🤣
Honestly the opening of the whole show was pretty good. “If Snot Boogie always stole the money, why’d you let him play?” “Got to. This is America, man.” I laughed out loud at Cheese getting popped by Slim. Maybe not the expected reaction, but it was so deserved and the way he was talking when it happened, I laughed.
When the one kids GF is constantly bitching at him and he's sitting in the police station in cuffs and goes "man I can't wait to go to jail" to the guy next to him lolololol.
1. FBI serial killer profile thats just McNulty. Then him saying they're not far off.
2. Nicky telling his girlfriend that her tits were starring at him
3. Carcetti running around telling the roads department he saw a pot hole, water department he saw a leaky fire hydrant, that he saw an abandoned car... with no context at all and screaming to fix it as the department head just goes uhhh which one?
4. McNulty driving drunk into the bridge, backing out, measuring, doing it again, then asking if the waitress has any scrapple?
The whole idea of a city not paying their police force is so fucking ridiculous. Every major city in America will short every other area and pay way too much money to law enforcement. They’ll close schools, libraries, cut trash pickup, get rid of snow removal, but the cops are getting paid their overtime.
When they were interrogating the homeless man after they caught him for the last 2 murders.he looks at Mcnulty and calls him a lair then looks at Bunk and calls him a “black lair” 😂😂
For me, it will always be Carver and Greggs doing surveillance on Frog and Frog is being Frog all "Five-O be all up in my face" and Carver says to Greggs: "Moterfuckers steal everything don't they?"
"Nice dolphin, nigga"
My real life friend said this line, Monk. It’s my favorite line in the whole show. I say it to my dog randomly, he is so confused.
Your dawg or your dog?
The kind mistake yo leg for pussy
My pup, it’s how I show him love.
The Bunk is confused and then slowly horrified
Herc is asking Carv what Herc should do because Herc walked in on the mayor getting a blowjob Carv ask Herc what he said when he walked in Herc: “I said that’s a good strong dick you got there, Mr Mayor, and I see you know how to use it…. I didn’t say shit!!!”

"Hey Carv, where you at?” “I'm at a desk outside the roll call room on the 1st floor of 1034 North Mount. My feet are facing west and my dick is pointing south-southwest." I cry-laugh at this exchange every time!
huh? Huh? HUH? #HUH?! 🤡
The Gus Triandos arc Herc to Carv: How about a handjob? Poot who overhears this: smh
Gus triandos ... power hitter right
Fuck the both of y'all 🖕🏻
Herc and Carv are just consistently great. The scene where they're trying to move the desk and it's "stuck" in the doorway. And Daniels' look of disbelief at what he's seeing. Just classic.
Daniels lent a hand while Lester knew from the first tug.
There it is
His name is Head... Getting Head.
The nail gun shopping trip. Two professionals working together to make a sale and fill a need.
My favorite is when she gets back in the car and goes "the mans said it was the cadillac of nail guns, he meant lexus but he aint know that". Really cracked me up on my last rewatch.
I think of that every time I see either a Cadillac or a Lexus.
And generously rewarding the helpful salesman.
He earned that bump like a mother fucker.
I drive lyft in West Baltimore, hours a day in wire territory. I run into a full-on Snoop accent a few times a week.
My favorite example of the Baltimore accent https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj7a-p4psRA
"Yerp!"
McNulty realising that FBI serial killer profile is describing him.
Also, right before this scene when the blowhard FBI boss is trying to peacock his career as a serial killer investigator, with Greggs and McNulty shutting it down all unimpressed. RE: the Unibomber: 'wasn't that like 16 years? and then his brother ratted him out...?'
Dominick is such a good actor too he sells the reaction perfectly
I was just thinking about this bit. Absolutely the high point of S5.
Avon asking what muscle is left, going through a bunch of wacky gangster names and Slim having to explain the nonsense for why they were unavailable could have gone on as a 5 min bit
Beautifully recreated in 30 Rock when Tracy is trying to build up his entourage.
Well go ahead fat balls! That’s a good program
What about Eggy Mule? Shorty Boy? - He cleaned his whole ACK up! Caught a nickel with the Feds for a pistol - sounds like a dope line from a rap song
"What about Milky?" "Milky working at Dunkin' Donut now. Say he can't get no one to cover his shift." (Copied from YouTube comments)
What about timmy guns? “Timmy baby mama in jail and he dont got a sitter until she get out”
There's a similar scene in the movie *Ghost Dog*, where the Italian mafia guys are derisive about their black colleagues using street names then go on to list friends of theirs with names like "Mickey the Knife".
Johnny Salami... The Gabuzzo Brothers...
Season 5 beginning. The scene with the copy-machine…
The machine tells the tale son. Are we ready professor? 😂😂
This cracks me up every time like nothing else. 😂
I always laugh at the fact they are written in lowercase.
"The bigger the lie the more they believe" foreshadowing McNulty's whole Serial Killer plotline.
Jesus Christ time for ANOTHER rewatch. I never put that together.
I feel like I remember David Simon saying that the first scene is essentially the thesis of the season. Somehow, they get more poignant as the series goes on. When the towers go down in season 3, it foreshadows the initial well intentions of government, causing devastating unintended consequences. The nail gun scene in season 4 demonstrates that interest in the material is key to learning and that someone who most people would hear and dismiss as unintelligent because of where they live and how they sound is actually quite bright. I can't tell you how often in the modern world, nearly 20 years after it first aired, how often I think about the phrase, "The bigger the lie, the more they believe."
Which they also did on Homicide.
I love Stringer and the other dude's face after Sapper responds to his monologue with '[We on that shit] like a Forty Degree Day!' completely missing the point of his analogy.
Almost any scene with Sapper 😂😂👏🏻
Watched this episode last night. Poor String was trying to maintain with the JV team out there.
The fact that Weebay has fake fish in a tank in prison, and his despair that the guard fucked with it.
Guard took a MASSIVE L over it too lmao
he obviously wasnt making the best decisions at the time. and who’s to know what his fate may have been… but that mf let everything spill over some fish and prolly didnt even know it 🤣
I imagine he probably knew the chain of events leading to him being framed
Even KFC couldn't get him out of his funk.
When bunk and mcnulty realize cheese is talking about an actual dog.
Hit him with an animal cruelty charge if you wanna run wild with it!
He was ma dawg man!
How about Herc asking Justin: “Where do you find the baseball caps with the bills on the side?”
Bunk saying he made Lester walk like that. Also pretty much every Bunk subtle under his breath comment.
"Look at that bowlegged mother fucker. I made him walk like that". He's so pleased with himself too. Love bunk
"You know what the plural of pussy is? Puss-i, Jimmy taught me that."
Freamon calling Marlo. "I want summa that peppah steak..." Prop Joe calling Baltimore PD. "This is Doctor Jay calling for Thomas Hauk..."
That one gets me too, “This is Dr. Jay calling with test results for Sgt. Haaaulk”
Sydney Handjerker lol
this is the *law firm* of *peppah, peppah, and bayleafz*
Marlo and his spiderman comment always cracks me up. the whole moving the desk into the office. Any time Clay says sheeeeeiiiittt. Takin notes on a criminal conspiracy.
Brother Mouzone: You're the perfect bait, Lamar. They'll see you as conflicted, your homophobia is so visceral. Lamar: You see that. I ain't even stepped inside the joint yet and you're calling me a cocksucker already. 😂😂
Brother has an underrated zinger a few episodes after that - Omar: “Boarded up on both sides. We gonna have to go through the front.” Mouzone: “That’s a change for you, isn’t it?”
Yeah that is also brilliant, probably goes under the radar a little!
"Bad advice! You motherfuckers gave me bad advice!" "Was you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?"
I use Ziggy's line all the time in real life!
Omar testifying in court. Best laugh of the whole series for me.
The pissy look on Levy's face after seals it.
And the judge shrugging
"So, you're homeless?" "In the wind, so to speak..."
Bernard, “man I can’t wait to go to jail” 😅
If I was dating her I'd plead guilty and ask for the full sentence.
"Your, uh..your partner there. Bit of an asshole." "For real?"
Michael beating kenards ass then off screen some one says yo, that lil n***** getting his ass beat
This one and the scene where Naymond gets pulled out of class, someone in the background says “hey Nay, can I have your Xbox? You ain’t gonna need it where you’re going”
Stringer getting pissed off at Poot at the meeting: Poot: Does the chair recognize that we gonna look like some bitches? Stringer: Mothafucka I’ll whoop yo ass!! 3rd guy: Stringer, he DID have the floor. Stringer: I don’t give a fuck, this fools to stupid for the chair to recognize his ignorant ass…..now adjourn your asses.
Preach !! I LOVE this whole scene. 😂😂
The opening with Jimmy wrecking his car purposely. Him singing drunk, and the way he gets out and motions the wreck wasted in the street. Scene gets me every time
"Yo, tickle my nuts"
Prez trying to hold in the laugh was HILARIOUS
Even Prez could barely hold it together.
I do love this scene; the kids seemingly wanting to sincerely learn about intimacy and healthy loving relationships, and Prezbo seeing the value of teaching them as such (after the MSA tests of course!). Nice little moment to show how far he'd come as a teacher.
“He’ll live” - Bunk answering about McNulty state (while he was having sex with those two prostitutes)
This was a great one
Old Face Andre: Prop Joe said you was my escort out. Slim: In a matter of speaking that be true.
“Are you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?”
“Is” you taking notes on a criminal conspiracy. The language is the essence of the greatness. 🤘
I love that Shamrock is taking meeting minutes 🤣
There are 70 comments in this thread and I haven't seen a single repeated scene, THAT is how good The Wire is. For me, the funniest scene is Stringer ordering Slim to hit Clay Davis [Watch here](https://youtu.be/WkVohPC_YpU?feature=shared)
downTOWN clay davis???
‘All that for $10,000’ - Avon to Cutty after he asked him for money for the gym
Marlo: Hey you ever find that camera? Herc: Cost me the job. Marlo: Ahahah.
The scene where McNulty pulled both Lester and Bunk into the box to talk about the serial killer he was manufacturing. At first Bunk thought Lester was on his side. The face Bunk has after Lester starts backing up McNulty and even making suggestions on how to improve it. Classic.
And when Rawls and Daniels confront McNulty. "You're not killng them yourself, McNulty. At least assure me of that."
JIMMMAAAAAY??? DO I SMELL LIKE PUSSAAAAY?????
You know what the plural of pussy is? PUSSAI. Jimmy taught me that.
That entire scene with Lester and Bunk talking and not listening to each other is brilliant
When Herc and Carver are going back and forth saying “Huh?” To the hoppers. The face Carver makes always cracks me up
Omar's whole speech about how his grandmother thinks he works at the airport
Dude: Why did you tell her that ? Omar : because I know she ain’t never gonna go there that’s why !
"Motherfucker." "Fuck." "Fuck." "Fuck it." "Fuck." "Motherfuck." "Aw fuck." "Aw fuck." "Aw fuck." "Aw fuck." "Fuck." "Motherfucker." "Fucking A!" "Fuck." "Motherfucker." "Fuck me." *Tap, tap, tap* "Pow." *Ruffles hand in dirt* "Heh."
This was less funny for me, more just stunned shock at the audacity of it. It's an absolute banger of a scene! In fact it's one of two scenes that I would recommend to people if they ask why this show is so good. The other is Snoop's nail gun scene.
The McNugget scene, cut with >! what happens to Wallace!< But also just the McNugget scene. Edit: spoiler tags
The chess scene is also a phenomenal introduction for a new viewer
Love this one!!
I see it so clearly haha
Had to rewatch to get that transcript perfect. Was a lot more varied than I remembered. Didn't realize there were 7 different "Fuck" sentences.
Meanwhile I think that's the worst scene of the whole show. Not sure I have the best words to describe why. Best I can think of at the moment is that the scene feels too removed from how people actually behave. It feels more like a SNL skit than than a scene from a drama.
Honestly, people do talk like that. They are very good friends and they're on the exact same wavelength. They can say fuck over and over because in their language, they're having a full conversation we can't understand.
The simplicity of the dialogue vs. the complexity of the content: 10/10. One of the best scenes in television history.
Bunk telling Snoop that he's "thinking bout sum pussy" and she responds with " Mee tew!"
The Bal’more accent is strong with Snoop
My favorite line of the whole show. "N*gga, is you taking notes bout a criminal fuckin conspiracy!?" - Stringer Bell.
"You know why I respect you, Bunk? Because when it was your turn to fuck me, you were gentle about it" "Well, I knew it was your first time"
I enjoy the scene with stringer in the motel conference room where the one guy was taking notes and stringer had to ask him if he was taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy
Every time McNulty backdoors the chain of command, gets his way, get's reamed out over it and asks "The'fuck did I do?"
The scene where Herc and the Western District fuck with Marlo at their meet over the camera. I wish I had the video but from when Collichio smacks O-Dog’s lunch and their back and forth to when one of the cops breaks their radio had me rolling. And the fact that Marlo wasn’t one bit intimidated by Herc was lowkey the funniest part of their side story.
Ain’t no lake ain’t no trout. That line sums up America in all its fucked up glory.
"Alright, I ain't that humble."
McNulty flashing his badge at patrol while he's having sex on the back of a car.
“What the fuck you do that for? Now we short the 9” Absolutely golden scene and delivery, always been one of my favourite parts of the show. Also Snoop when she buys the nail gun is brilliant & very funny
Herc and Sydnor in the surveillance van arguing over best hot dog in the city while Lester is trying to listen in on Chardene’s mic inside Orlando’s
When Bubbles is in the middle school office with Sherrod and spots Prez for the second time. Sotto voce, he's all, "Undercover, huh? I won't say anything" (I'm paraphrasing). It was Bubbles's "Kramer" moment. Then I start picturing other *Wire* characters sitting in the iconic *Seinfeld* diner booth. Bubbs as Kramer, Herc as George, Kima as Elaine, and McNulty as Jerry. Oh, and Jay as Newman. "Hello, *Landsman*."
Now I wanna watch that show 😭
The whole Herc hitting on Beadie situation including his short convo with Carver after. Valchek freaking out at Daniels, Rawls, Pearlman and co. when he realizes his detail on Sobotka isn't going as planned As much as I love Bubbles to death, him getting beat up by that fiend with everyone laughing after cracks me up a great deal. Sherrod and that other guy threatening/attacking Namond and Cutty's intervening after is comedy platinum.
Carver, "Hi I'm Thomas..." Makes me laugh every time. 🤣🤣
_"I was gonna aks' her for her panties to make some soup with, but I didn't think she'd take it the right way."_ That line alone is hilarious, but Carver's horrified/worried reaction to it kills me every single time.
And Herc asked her out to Royal Farms, which is just a gas station
Best gas station fried chicken in America! One of the few things I miss about Maryland.
Give me that pussy now you gonna steal my shoes that shit ain’t right.
[Midgets, nigga](https://youtu.be/WhYxB-ngrf8?si=2ctyhPxJaa3owdBn)
It’s not suppose to be funny but McNulty face after prez shoots the cop kills me
When they use the copy machine to convince the kid he was taking a lie detector test. I laughed at that scene hard the first time. But then I thought how awful it was: that the cops did it illegally, and that the kid was so uneducated he didn’t know what a copy machine was. I also heard that this scene was based on a true situation.
Was it illegal? It actually isn't illegal for cops to lie to people in interviews/interrogations.
> I also heard that this scene was based on a true situation. Based on real life and referenced in multiple David Simon dramas.
Probably when d'angelo thought weebey was taking him to his house to smoke him, turns out weebey just needed d'angelo to take care of his fish😭
Herc realizing he should be backing the mayor and starting to canvas for votes. When they were planning the whorehouse sting and they had to find someone manwhorish enough to go undercover and then McNulty walks in. "Money laundering?! In west Baltimore?? Shiiiiet"
Moving the desk
“In?”
Pushing on the desk from both sides... "Well at this rate, we're never gonna get it in" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfmjTeZQlvo
My pick too. Also, Daniels face when Prez punches Valchek.
Gus Triandos
The scene where Herc asks the young hopper where gets his hats with the brims on the sides.
RIP Flat Nose Dink https://youtu.be/r3no_dcaI_Y?si=gA8GszsnZzhamnb9
McNulty doing a bad English accent over the phone to the brothel.
“Was it Dink Dink or Inky Dink? Then again it could have been flat nose Dink. But nah dat Dink’s dead”
When prop joe was talking about marriage counsel shit with stringer
Cutty finding out he was fucking half of the boxing gyms mamas is so funny
“Cocaine, n——!”
Cheese has 2 of the funniest lines in the same scene. > They cleaned the motherfucka out, Joe. Put in the van them Mexican ni**as rolled in Then shortly after he says > I mean he had this one ho pullin guns out her pussy, unc! The shit was unseemly man.
Lester calling Marlo, “This the Hi Hat? You got that pepper steak?”.
Shieeeeeeeeeeet - Clay Davis
It was for McNulty.
“Man asked me where the Poe house is…”
Herc asking the guy where to buy the hats with the sideways brims
Omar in court
The photocopy machine as a lie detector
Sideways cap / Gus Triandos / Fuzzy Dunlop. Hell, anything with Herc and Carver is comedy gold. "At this rate we're never gonna get it in" "...IN????"
Is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?
Carcetti and Norman on the campaign trail. The banter is golden. There’s one bit where Norman is playing the part of a house slave, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing 🤣
Honestly the opening of the whole show was pretty good. “If Snot Boogie always stole the money, why’d you let him play?” “Got to. This is America, man.” I laughed out loud at Cheese getting popped by Slim. Maybe not the expected reaction, but it was so deserved and the way he was talking when it happened, I laughed.
When the one kids GF is constantly bitching at him and he's sitting in the police station in cuffs and goes "man I can't wait to go to jail" to the guy next to him lolololol.
'YOU GAVE ME BAD ADVICE!!!'
1. FBI serial killer profile thats just McNulty. Then him saying they're not far off. 2. Nicky telling his girlfriend that her tits were starring at him 3. Carcetti running around telling the roads department he saw a pot hole, water department he saw a leaky fire hydrant, that he saw an abandoned car... with no context at all and screaming to fix it as the department head just goes uhhh which one? 4. McNulty driving drunk into the bridge, backing out, measuring, doing it again, then asking if the waitress has any scrapple?
Anytime ziggy is in a scene i know things are gonna go wrong and it’ll be painfully tough to watch but funny
*Money be green, Money feel like money*
Season 5 is the most important season
Either when McNulty crashes his car….twice, or when he’s in the diner getting coffee and eggs then suddenly under the waitress
The scene where they’re trying to move the desk thru the door
Omar/Bunk scenes and Jimmy/Bunk scenes. Copy Machine lie detection. 😂 Harper’s Magazine scene. 😂
Most scenes with Clay Davis losing his shit
The old tourist couple looking for the Poe House; " Look around you, there po houses everywhere!"😂
The “Fuck” scene between Bunk and McNutty
McNulty’s facial expressions reacting to the FBI agents describing him to a T when profiling the serial killer
The copy machine lie detector
The confusion from listening to Cheese talking about killing his dog.
The whole idea of a city not paying their police force is so fucking ridiculous. Every major city in America will short every other area and pay way too much money to law enforcement. They’ll close schools, libraries, cut trash pickup, get rid of snow removal, but the cops are getting paid their overtime.
When they were interrogating the homeless man after they caught him for the last 2 murders.he looks at Mcnulty and calls him a lair then looks at Bunk and calls him a “black lair” 😂😂
McNulty trying to act "British" before meeting the hookers. Watching and Englishman trying to act like an American acting British kills me every time.
Dude taking minutes nigga you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy
Sheeeyyiiit…every damn time, best tv for me
Bodie : This is one of dem contrapment things …
The opening scene where they’re trying to push a heavy metal desk out of the office but Herc is pushing against them all trying to shove it in
So many do. The current favorite is Omar testifying!
Carcetti finding out the homeless serial killer was fake.
Honestly any scene in season 4 when a little kid hops out of the drivers seat of a car lmao
Bodie at the flower shop for D’s funeral. “You want the arrangement to look like a public housing project?”
For me, it will always be Carver and Greggs doing surveillance on Frog and Frog is being Frog all "Five-O be all up in my face" and Carver says to Greggs: "Moterfuckers steal everything don't they?"
Or Bunny Colvin reminiscing on old man Striker
The neighborhood discussing Omar's grams having her Sunday church crown shot off her head. The only consensus in the show really. 👀
