the funniest bits of the wire

Obligatory clip for every funny Wire bits thread.

Basically every answer Omar gives in this court scene:

"we gots to, it's America, man"

Are you ready professor?



Money be green!!!



"N***a...is you taking notes on a criminal ****ing conspiracy?! The **** is you thinking man?



This is technically not an actual clip from the show but it's one that I have been hoping would be made for ages. I never knew John Cena was in The Wire.

Is that not Dominic West's real voice??

not really, that's what makes it funny imo, it's an english actor playing an american character putting on a bad english accent - if that makes sense

Something that always makes me laugh even though it follows something horrific is when Chris and Snoop are sent by Michael to get rid of his dad, and after Chris beats him to death outside the vacants Snoop just exclaims "fcuk, you didnt even wait to get him inside the house!" as Chris storms off.

This scene shows exactly how brilliant the show is, it takes something thats awful but an everyday occurance in Baltimore and gives it a dark sense of humour, and it tells us a lot about Chris, you can tell by his immediate reaction to Michael telling him but not telling him that he may have been abused that he went through the same thing himself, and takes out his anger on Michaels dad by caving his head in vicously.

There's a little moment that I didn't notice the first 6 or 7 times, and then someone pointed it out to me, where Jimmy has a clumsy fall while arresting Sergei in Season 2.
It looks like it was completely unintentional!

I can't see the vids above for some reason so don't know if this was mentioned. For me the funniest bit was when Kenard left the bag of dog s*** under the step and Colicchio came and put his hand into it thinking it was a stash. Classic.
