User blog comment:Waterwecna/Funny scenes in Merlin/@comment-4623180-20120214123253

Mine are: 1. Merlin getting the keys from Arthur. (Aithusa) 2. Arthur's telling Merlin he's prepared to face all the horrors in the world but not to sleep with Merlin. (I sort of forgot which episode that was from, how embarrassing!) 3. So this was not meant to be funny, but I keep bursting out laughing at Morgana's stun spell that was absorbed by Merlin in The Sword in the Stone. She looked so stupid in front of Arthur, Gwen, Isolde, Merlin, Tristan and Helios. 4. Merlin telling Arthur he has bad breath, then Arthur throwing a pillow at Merlin. As the pillow hits the ground, Uther steps into the room, and the pillow lands in front of him. That was so funny. I just wanted to know what Uther was thinking, but he didn't bother to comment.. (I think it was in The Changeling) 5. This is also from The Changeling, the Pixie's love towards Gaius! She was a great actor!

The ones you've mentioned above are all favourites of mine as well. I hope in Series 5 they cut down a little bit on the banter and name-calling between Arthur and Merlin, instead replacing it with very occasional 'one liners'. Sometimes saying a lot less can get a point across than saying a lot more, if you get my drift.
