Mine is the absolutely hideous seagull on top of connerys head on goldfinger, that really wouldn't fool anyone, but i just die laughing everytime i see it!
I've seen Batman do the exact same thing in an old comic. Not sure what year it came out?

A View to a Kill provides me with seemingly endless list of tiny pleasures. I posted a similar list in the most "hilarious moments" thread, but it's really more appropriate here.
The old-school orange snowmachines with the big red soviet star painted on the sides are so cute.
The improvised snowboard session.
The iceberg submarine with union jack hatch.
Roger Moore mentioning 5 days to Alaska.
Moneypenny, Q, and Bond all dressed up for a day at the races.
M telling Bond he has 30 minutes to get properly dressed and Bond glances down at his suit wondering what's wrong with it?
The french detective's lame joke about butterfly collection and Roger's polite half-hearted smile.
The rapid rate at which his blue taxi was demolished.
Pan Ho struggling to pronounce St. John Smythe.
Seeing Jenny Flex in jodhpurs.
The Zorin girls changing the oil at the gas station.
Tibbett lugging the bags up the stairs while being heckled by Bond.
Tibbett splashing the Rolls Royce with a bucket of water.
Zorin talking horses while looking up 007 on his computer.
Bad guys getting up after being hit with rock salt.
Roger trying hard not to break the urn of ashes during the fight.
Stacy's little 1985 Apple computer is just adorable!
Roger cooking dinner, reconnecting the phone and sleeping in the chair.
The dials on the waterpump peaking out when the KBG agent is killed in the propeller.
Ivanova saying "Did you know I was a Russian agent with orders to seduce you?"
Bond being issued a hard hat before entering Zorin's mine. This would be echoed in TWINE when Brosnan is posing as the Russian scientist.
Stacy wearing a heavily tailored grey Zorin uniform. "Pity you couldn't find one that fits"
Walken saying "right on schedule"
On a personal note, RM totally reminds me of my dad in this outfit:

Great thread! In the DAF PTS, Connery is told to put his hands up. He almost shrugs as he does it, almost using a smarta** attitude haha.

OHMSS: Bond’s and Tracy’s romantic fashion montage.
TSWLM and FYEO: Bond’s smile and nod to the enemy driver.
MR: Freefall in PTS.
OP: “Marksman” Bond nailing a Russian trooper in the forehead.
TLD: PTS, we’re introduced with a serious Bond as a man of action, running after and leaping on the Landrover.
TLD: Sniper Bond in the scene immediately after the PTS, very close to the book.
TLD: Bond’s visible impatience with people, like Saunders and especially Kara.
LTK: Bond giving a brash Killifer a disdainful look-over in Felix’s office.
LTK: Bond’s sinister laugh in Sanchez’s office, showing he can be just as, or more ruthless than the villains.
GE: Bond in a proper Special Forces assault outfit in PTS.
GE: Bond freefalling to catch the diving Russian plane.
GE: Race with Xenia’s Ferrari in beginning with Bond smiling at the exhilaration of being overtaken by a skillful female driver, very Fleming that had me also smiling in the theater.
GE (and other PB films): Bond sprinting, particularly in stunt sequences while wearing a nice suit, very iconic ala “Film Bond.”
GE: Bond finally “giving in” to using machine guns, whereas this was sporadic and incidental in previous movies (TSWLM, TLD). In the context of the action film genre, it was about time, though it sets the precedence of machine gun overuse.
TND: Bond striding with cool and restrained urgency and giving a couple of paranoid glances behind him as he is about to exit the Carver building in Hamburg,
DAD: Bond getting tortured and incarcerated for a very long period of time, very Fleming, particularly in the timeline of YOLT and TMWTGG. This never happened to the movie Bond fellow.
CR: Bond's grin after the bomber's keychain explosive blows up.

All the casino scenes! Bond always looks cool in a casino
I just rewatched LTK again last night, so I found some fresh ones.
Bond flees the guard's machine gun fire, then plops the innocent lobster he saved into another fishtank before killing the other guard.
"My god, what a terrible waste..." *Bond glares* "...Of money!" *Bond stops glaring*
Pam's legs, and Lupe sleeping on Krest's boat without a robe.
Bond playing blackjack like he's an idiot with the first 250k, then suckering them out of 500k when he rebuys.
Q pitching his own gadget away into the bushes when shadowing Sanchez' house. Q! what the devil has gotten into you! Have you no respect for your equipment!
After Bond narrowly avoids the farmer's pineapple truck, the startled look he gets on his face when one of the pineapples bounces off the windshield right in front of him.
Bond and Pam's little moment after she dunks Perez and the other cronies with cropdust.
Pam's shocked expression as she dodges the flaming fireball of Braun and Perez' truck, with the poor @ssholes screaming over the sound of her engines.
When Bond's on the last truck moving forward the the driver suddenly stops, pitching poor Bond like a rag doll into the back of the cab and onto the ground. I dunno, it just strikes me funny, especially the little "Oof" Which is totally appropriate for the situation.
Sanchez getting out of the truck with murder in his eyes to go after Bond, and then Bond is RIGHT there and he starts swinging while Bond is jerking himself out of the way of Sanchez' machete.
Sanchez turns off the gas flow, looks up, and gets Bond's loafer right to the face.
My fave Bond films have all the great subtle moments:
FRWL
Grant inside the train tailing Bond who's outside. Probably the greatest scene in the entire series.
'I've had an interesting life. Would you like to hear about it?' *Villain mumbles* 'You would?'
LALD
'Bourbon and water, no ice.' 'That's extra man'
'It's like following a cue ball'
'Nice disguise Bond'
'Secret Agent? On whos side?'
'Now ya'll take this sucker outside and waste him!'
The final shot of Mrs Bell, looking totally shellshocked. Makes me howl everytime.
Tee Hee's look when Bond cuts the chords on his arm.
LTK
'She had a nice honeymooooooon'
Darios look fout of the hole in the wall at the bar. Creepy doesn't even begin to cover it.
'Compliments of Sharky'
The closing scene. Hardly gets mentioned but it makes me very emotional every time.
CR
Bonds look at the Banker after the comment about not bringing chocolates
Le Chiffres look out the window after his guard gets arrested. Almost makes you feel sorry for him.
'Now the whole world will know that you just scratched my balls'. No matter how many times I hear this it never fails to make me laugh.
Reversible jacket and hat
Applying the fake mustache
Roger flipping at some lower ranking soldier's uniform as he strolls through security
The salute to judo chop
Pulling the parachute rip chords on the truck
The acro star jet coming out of the trailer and ensuing flight scenes
and of course "fill 'er up please"
Possibly the greatest of all the pre-title sequences and the very definition of the Roger Moore Bond.

Many to choose from. A number have been highlighted. I always like two moments in OCTOPUSSY:
1. Bond & Jim Fanning at Sotherby's. Bond's sly utterance of "Let's see how badly he wants it." when he raises Kamal's bidding.
2. Kamal's nonchalant nod to Gobinda to offer more cash to the leader of the yo-yo-saw wielding assassins who seems none too keen to upset Octopussy.
Octopussy- Bond asking Gobdina if he would care for a night cap. This scene is great because the camera is a long shot from way down the hall which makes it seem like Bond is behaving like he doesn't know anyone is watching.
(as opposed for switching to a close up)
View to a Kill- Stacy "Do you know what I'm sitting on?" Bond "I'm trying not to think about it"

Love that too! Also when Bond goes on to escape his room and follow Kahn and Orlov down the corridor and Magda is looking down from her doorway smiling -{
Those are great examples of the little touches Connery has that add to my appreciation for his portrayal of Bond. That and the fact that he is able to do it without diminishing the sense of danger he brings to the role.
Roger giving us a brief synopsis of the (future) plot for Goldeneye in M's office:
One burst in outer space over the UK, and everything with a microchip in it, from the modern toaster to the most sophisticated computers and our defense systems, would be rendered absolutely useless." The pulse would be strong enough to disrupt or destroy the circuitry in a microchip.

In Goldfinger, when Bond breaks into Goldfinger's hotel room and sees Jill Masterson lying on her stomach on the balcony looking through the binoculars,they way they filmed 007's entry - camera sweeping towards Connery, the rising James Bond theme, the way he introduces himself to her - is another fantastic Tiny Pleasure.

Moneypenny in a customs official uniform. Bond also gets a kick out of this.
Seeing the hovercraft leaving.
Bond pretending to be making out in the alley.
Connery pretending to be an elevator man "Who is your floor?" cracks me up every time.
The hearse drivers. "I godda bruddah. Small world"
Q getting jackpots on the slot machines.
All the scenes with Klaus hergesheimer G Section.
Bond climbing out of the underground pipe in a tuxedo.

The computer sound effects in Moonraler and TSWLM

The lines "Yes I know don't tell me" and "All
those feathers and he still can't fly." from TSWLM
"Soon you and I will have money than God," and "You can't win." from Goldeneye.
