Yes bro! The Ribs by Lorde of it all got to me, okay??

this is such a great question that i've spent way too long thinking about because i love to be normal.

runner up: of course, sam anxiously saying ben was "cutest" on the layover (i know i just said this was my favorite but for the purposes of this ask i'm picking a fresh top 5)

5: sam eating a leaf in tag 3 because ben told him to. cute to me because it implies so much about sam (freak, weirdly compliant, willing to get down & dirty at a moment's notice leaf-style if the situation calls for it) and ben (enjoys puppeting his tuoys. able to easily order sam around without penalty. if adam told sam to eat a leaf there'd be a fight) 4: the fact that sam has said on multiple occasions that his all-time favorite challenge on jet lag is ben eggy hands doyle trying to make mayonnaise <3 3: all of sam's sweetie comments about ben in the karat interview during the mandatory compliment section :3 2: the time ben was too shy to correct the hotel that he already had a reservation so he just booked another room and sam (suave & self-assured for once, probably an accident) told ben to call him next time and he'd take care of it for him. a family man and a PROVIDER. 1: can i put the whole unknown colorado trial run here??? especially how ben turned 21 while he lived there and sam took him out for his first legal drinks :"""| CUTE. ARGH.

i know i just listed a runner-up above but i want to put more bonus answers: "you're a damn yapper, sammy" from schengen showdown. sam excitedly saying "yellow pants, yellow pants, yellow PANTS" when spots ben in the train station in snake ep 1. the bitchy tag all-stars call where ben rolls a nat 1 trying to deceive & ensorcell sam and sam hangs up on him, then calls him back 2 seconds later. sam & ben cracking white claws at the end of H&S 1 when it was clear they'd lost. french vending machine pizza date in tag 2 <3
