When Basil finds the two house bricks in the conman's briefcase. He holds one up to his ear and shakes it!
Also when Basil is so distraught after failing to catch the guest who he suspected of having a woman in their room, does this weird crouching hop with his arms over his head before keeling over, right in front of the two Welsh guests! As a kid i could not stop laughing for days after seeing that!
Was it a millionaire who said "Imagine no possessions"?

Looking for the duck in the trifle and you can see Prunella scales doing her best not to laugh while Connie Booth has clearly already corpsed.

THE GERMAN WALK.
YOU SNOBS!
ANY VALUABLES, SIR RICHARD, ANY BRICKS???
I was in London right before 9/11 and there was a spot of bother one day with a bomb threat. that night, we must have been the only americans in the country who laughed out loud when the news reporters said:
DON'T MENTION THE WAR!
Reading the paper can really be depressing. Mr. Dithers fired Dagwood again.

The Kipper and the Corpse,
Shortly after they call the Dr up and find out Basil delivered the breakfast and didn't realised he was dead, following the "This is a hotel not the Burma railway" line and Sybil's Basil retort I always laugh at the next line
BASIL - Well, I mean, it does actually say "Hotel" outside. You know, perhaps I should be more specific: "Hotel for people who have a better than 50% chance of making it through the night."

Pretty much all of "The Anniversary" episode. Basil's plan to dress up Polly is absolutely outrageous.

The fire drill. I almost feel sorry for Basil.
Any time he rants at guests.
"Worthington, we're being attacked by giant bats!"

In "The Germans" when Sybil is in hospital and rings every half hour to remind Basil to do stuff around the hotel.. In one scene we see him hanging the moose's head, Polly answers the phone and says, "Oh hello, Mrs Fawlty" to which Basil screams, "I'm doing it now, I'm doing it tell her I'm doing it now!"
I've not seen the episode recently but just thinking about it gives me a laugh!
