Taxi/YMMV


 * Crazy Awesome: Jim.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Both Latka and Jim are candidates. Latka was intentionally conceived as such, but the edge goes to Jim, who originated as a one-shot character in the season 1 episode "Paper Marriage" and was reintroduced as a regular in season 2.
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment / Reverse Funny Aneurysm: When Latka was convincing his mother he would be better off in America, he showed her a People magazine and explained "In America, a man can become another O.J. Simpson!"
 * Funny Moments: Jim's driving test, concluding with the oft-repeated "What does a yellow light mean?"
 * Growing the Beard: When John Burns left after the first season and Reverend Jim joined in the second.
 * The Scrappy: Some of the writers apparently felt that Simka was this when she became a semi-regular in the final season (with a more abrasive personality than she had in her guest appearances). According to an interview with writer-producers Glen and Les Charles, some writers simply refused to write for Simka.
 * Seinfeld Is Unfunny: At the time the show began, Danny DeVito's height wasn't well-known, so the pilot was able to make a surprise joke with it when he climbs out of the cage and appears next to the other actors he'd just been ordering around.
