    That's classic.

    All I gotta say is that Bunk is in two of my all time favorite parts of the Wire.

    1) The "fuck" scene when he and McNulty look into the shooting of a girl

    2) "Do you smell pussy" scene when he's over at a lady's house and McNulty has to pick him up. Hands down the funniest thing I have ever seen on TV.

    add to these the scene when pulls Snoop and Chris over in S4 and you have the Bunk trifecta. all great scenes.

    I don't think these are on the season 4 DVDs, unless they're easter eggs I haven't seen them listed in any of the discs I've put in. On the plus side there's 6 commentaries, but the only other extras are the two half hour specials they ran on HBO before season 4 started.

    The scene between Bunk and Omar in season 3 is also amazing.

    I really have to check this series out. I've only seen the first 3 episodes or so when they were showing the first season on On Demand recently, but missed out on the rest when they continued onto season two.
