Unintentional hilarity

trinityvixenWatching Neverwhere, the BBC version from ten years ago, I have been so fortunate as to have a couple of high moments of amusement at the expense of limited budgets and editors with no sense of entendre.
Amusement the first: the Great Beast of London? Is a steer, a shaggy longhorn. Quake in the sight and fury of Bessie!
Amusement the second: Upon his return to the upworld, one of Richard's (the hero) coworkers notices his broken finger. "I suppose you got it stuck in a door." The fact that this is played entirely straight despite the fact that the heroine/love interest is named Door is made all the more gut-bustingly hilarious by the fact that, after the coworker leaves, Richard snaps out of his fugue upon hearing the word "door" to say that, yes, as a fact, he broke his finger when it got stuck in a Door.
Perhaps that last is only especially funny because I just watched Teeth.
