Republic of Doyle/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Des and Jake's interaction is usually made of funny:

Jake: Why is it that whenever I talk to you, I want to punch you in the face?!
Des: ...'cause you're mean?

  • Rose has her moments as well.

Martin Poole: Ok, it's official, I'm aroused.
Rose: Really? I don't see anything.

  • All of this has nothing on Jake and Malachy's snarkfests, however. Good grief.
    • Take, for example, the instance when Jake nearly gets himself killed (again). Malachy starts railing at him, and Doyle retorts "I'd ask you to come down and help me, but of course you'll never get your walker down here!"
    • There's another instance when Malachy is just getting out of jail, and Doyle asks him how it went. Malachy's response? "Dandy, they're talking about naming a wing after you."
  • Jake vs. pompous airbag Garrison Steele. Hoo boy.
  • Des, looped up on painkillers and trying to stealthily peer down a med student's blouse (after calling her an angel and generally babbling).
  • Bruce thinking Jake, Des and Malachy were hitmen because they were standing in the road in front of his house "trying to steal those snow... sled... machine... things."
  • Martin drugging and kidnapping Rose. Again. Malachy gets him back in the end by drugging him right back and leaving him passed out on an armchair.
    • Also, his being shot in the behind for gambling too much... and then shot again. Probably because he deserved it.
  • Des figures out that Tinny's back in town, then slams the computer shut as Malachy walks in. When Malachy asks him what's wrong... "I got hit by a car and I'm on drugs. *Nonchalant shrug*"
  • Jake is *excellent* with children.
  • "What are you two whispering about?" "Nothing. ...Des has fleas." "I don't have them anymore!"
  • Jake accidentally holds up a bank in "High School Confidential", resulting in a media frenzy and the entire police force arriving at the station.
  • How Des scares off an attacker: runs at him screaming and waving his arms like a windmill.

Jake: What the hell was that?!
Des: ...the element of surprise!
