8 Times Mulder Made Us Laugh Our Ass Off on 'The X-Files'

Moviefone
August 5, 2016 - 1 min read

"The X-Files" is a funnier show than you might think. And no one was better at making us laugh with -- and at -- the super-serious investigations than Fox Mulder. Here are some of our favorite LOLs at Mulder's expense. 

'Arcadia'

The only thing better than Mulder's Lacoste polo? The way he stabs a gaudy lawn decoration into the ground -- to court a subterranean security system of sorts, naturally -- and chest thumps a "Bring it on." 

'Home'

When facing a murderous family of inbred rednecks, your best weapon is Mulder's ironic sad face.

'Small Potatoes'

One of Mulder's funniest bits isn't even his own. It's courtesy of shapeshifter Eddie Van Blundht, who puts on a Mulder skin suit and makes the moves on Scully. Hubba hubba. 

'Small Potatoes'

This is the GIF that keeps on giving. I regret nothing. 

'Emily'

His Mr. Potato Head impression. 

'Jose Chung's From Outer Space'

Three words: Sweet potato pie. 

'Bad Blood'

Yeah, we got a lot from this classic ep. Because it's the funniest thing ever made. We've Google'd it, and the internet never lies, so... First up, Scully's "Roshomon"-style account of a vampire-related case gone south features her interpretation of Mulder as a guy who thinks he can get away with both finger quotes and those shoulder pads. 

'Bad Blood'

A drugged Mulder singing the theme to "Shaft?" A drugged Mulder singing the theme to "Shaft."
