One of my favorites was a pretty angry son-in-law who wasn't making any secret of the fact that he was frustrated beyond belief at the situation he had to deal with regarding his wife's mother's hoarding. At one point he unearthed a rental video in her pile of filth and snapped "I wonder what the late fee is on THIS!", clearly implying that it had been there for years. It was totally in the way he said it; it was beautiful.

Okay, here's one: during Richard Dawson's stint on Match Game, host Gene Rayburn read off a Hogan's Heroes question. Possibly it was Dawson's usual cool veneer, or possibly he was a bit irritated, but he didn't crack a smile and didn't appear to take it as a compliment. I can't remember it word for word but it was something to do with a suggestion to Colonel Hogan of what should be added to the tunnel, and the popular answer was "toll booth" because of all the traffic down there.

Well, we can start the ball rolling with Howard Caine. He of course played Major Hochstetter of the Gestapo, but he also played a Jewish man married to Judy Garland's character in "Judgment at Nuremburg". Richard Widmark was trying to convince Garland to testify at the Nuremburg Trials (against Werner Klemperer, among others!) while Caine fearfully tried to persuade her not to.
