"Don't lose your head Skipper" said by Gilligan just as a native head hunter is about to decapitate the captain. Any other ironic lines on the show?

there is about one per episode. There is another good one from Nyet Nyet Not Yet but I can't think of it at the moment

...what you're talking about are puns. Irony would be something like the cast not thinking that the show would ever be syndicated and then it runs for 40 years every single day all over the world.

All right puns. Whatever. But please all name some.

I can't remember the exact lines because I didn't get a chance to record this episode, (I'll have to wait till July to find out for sure

). In "Up At Bat", I seem to recall someone calling him 'a pain in the neck' after the Skipper thinks he's turned in to a vampire.
