* In "Poor Loser", Eugene surprisingly loses so many chess games to Bernard that he ''starts to have a nervous breakdown'', which culminates in Whit and Connie checking up on him at his dorm.
-->'''Connie''': ''What happened'' to you?
-->'''Whit''': Have you slept at all?
-->'''Connie''': Have you ''showered''?
-->'''Eugene''': I've done both, actually. Though I can't remember when or where.
-->'''Whit''': Well, what in the world are you ''doing'', Eugene?
-->'''Eugene''': Uh... research.
-->'''Connie''': Looks to me like you're watching TV. What a minute, that's you and Bernard. Oh, look, and there's me! Ugh, why did I have to wear ''that'' sweater?
-->'''Whit''': You videotaped your chess game?
-->'''Eugene''': I'm trying to learn from my mistakes. He's beaten me in ''six consecutive games''.
-->'''Connie''': Did he know you were taping him?
-->'''Eugene''': ''Yes''. In fact, you'll notice every one in a while he'll lean into the camera and sing ''"My Darling Clementine!"'' I turned the sound down.
-->'''Whit''': Eugene... you really need to let this go.
-->'''Connie''': ''Yeah''.
-->'''Eugene''': But Mr. Whittaker, I just can't understand it. How does he keep beating me? Look! ''Look!'' Watch this move, right here! He's gonna move knight to rook four, ''for no reason at all!'' ''There!'' Did you see that?
-->'''Whit''': Well-
-->'''Eugene''': He has no apparent strategy! It's as if he's moving his pieces completely at random! And somehow he consistently ''stumbles'' upon victory!
-->'''Whit''': ''Eugene!''
-->'''Eugene''': There are times when I'm convinced this is a game he doesn't know the ''rules for!''
-->'''Connie''': *gasps* [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Eugene, you just ended a sentence with a preposition!]]
-->'''Eugene''': Impossible! [[HypocritcalHumor Prepositions are not words that I end sentences with.]] Oops.
-->'''Whit''': Eugene... I think you need to get some ''sleep''.
-->'''Eugene''': You don't seem to understand, the world no longer makes sense! Today, Bernard Walton beats ''me'' at chess, tomorrow the earth will revolve around the ''sun!''
-->'''Connie''': [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness The earth ''does'' revolve around the sun, Eugene!]]
-->'''Eugene''': ''AAAAAH!''
-->'''Whit''': W-why don't we just turn this off.
-->'''Eugene''': No, wait, watch this move. He'll move bishop to rook three. There! I seriously think he made that move ''simply to form the letter 'M' with his pieces!''
-->'''Whit''': 'It's bed time, Eugene.''
-->'''Connie''': Do you think we should carry him?

** It gets even better when the two of them perform their play in front of an audience, only for Bernard to deliberately go off-script and start plugging his janitor business. Edwin panics and tries to pull Bernard behind the stage curtain... only for it to collapse on top of them in front of a hysterically laughing audience. And the cherry on top? The drama critic that Edwin was trying to impress actually ''approves'' of their hilariously failed performance because it was ''that'' funny.

* "My Fair Bernard" revolves around Bernard trying to make an advertisement to compete against Bart's janitor service while Edwin wants to earn a good review from a drama critic. The two of them end up working together to make a stage-play about Bernard's life calling as a janitor, their improvised brainstorming session is golden.

-->'''Bernard''': They are...
-->'''Edwin''': Yes, and the great sea of humanity, those unwashed masses, felt themselves ''cleansed'' at your touch! Their dirt and filth caught in the great, swirling undertow of the drain called, ''conscience!''

It contains completely ludicrous plot details ([[NoodleImplements that we are never given context for]]) and obvious {{Narm}}, and yet it brings June and later Connie to tears every time.

* "The Big Deal: Part 2": This episode, the second half of an episode where Aubrey Shepard (upset after her parents - relatively new Christians at this time - object to her performing as the lead in a play that they felt denigrated Christianity and threatened to quit their position on the theater's staff) took an [[AdventuresInTheBible Imagination Station adventure]] to the time of John the Baptist. Upon meeting Salome, the daughter of Herodias who - under orders from Herodias - [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior performs a sensuous dance]] and is rewarded with having, again per orders from Herodias, John the Baptist beheaded; Aubrey witnesses Salome dancing and knocking over a vase; with [[LittleMissSnarker Aubrey]] noting Salome danced like a klutz. The humorous part is that [[TheDitz Salome]] thinks Aubrey gave her a compliment.

* [[https://youtu.be/87kSyNMMss8?t=4679 The making-of feature supplied with the AIO 3-D CD-ROM]] is...something else, to put it simply. Yes, seriously, a behind the scenes feature being laugh-out-loud worthy sounds silly, but somehow they did it:
** Will Ryan hiding in a dark room, very clearly doing his Eugene voice and claiming he "can't tell you who it is", and ''immediately'' EmergingFromTheShadows to claim it's Eugene.
** Phil Lollar talking about how he gets what he needs out of the actors, and claiming that if all else fails, he can just hit them upside the head with a blunt object.
** Katie Leigh sitting with her two then-small children and repeatedly asking who their favorite character is, and getting no answer. After asking ''four times'' and gritting through her teeth in annoyance, her son ''finally'' relents and points to her.
--> '''Katie Leigh''': [[SarcasmMode Thanks a lot!]]
** When Bob Luttrell is going over all the knobs and buttons in the sound booth, he finishes off by saying the most important button is the one on the phone, "[[SkewedPriorities because that'll get us pizza in about five minutes.]]"
** The ''entire'' segment on the sound studio. All of it. No description can do it justice. Chuck Bolte walking near by and having sounds played as he does so, much to his confusion, already makes it funny enough, but then comes an over-the-top EvilGenius parody where the sound engineers cook up a way to bring sound into their world.
** And of course, the HilariousOuttakes aren't to be missed either.

* From "Do, for a Change," then-new Christian Eugene's first attempt at saying a blessing before eating at Connie's Bible study.
-->'''Eugene:''' Dearest Elohim: We know that you were with the army of Jehoshaphat in 2nd Chronicles 20: 1 and following, and when he prepared his army to battle the Ammonites, which were of a great multitude, you told them not to fear; and though the Hebrew is slightly ambiguous in a few of the verses in this passage, we know you tell us the same. And we remember this today when we battle the Ammonites of anxiety, the Jebusites of injustice, the Perizzites of pride and yea, the Syrians of sinfulness. Glorious Yahweh, we see in Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians how he uses eschatological references as the basis for hope that determines the nature of daily life, and in a sense, we should do the same. And we ask these things in the name of our precious Redeemer and Savior, Jesu Christe, Emmanu-el, i.e. “God with us.” Amen.\\

* "Bad Luck": Robyn's dream while recuperating at home after her bicycle crash... at least at first. What's particularly funny about it is the listener isn't aware it's a dream at first, but it becomes obvious once events take a turn for the bizarre, including Robyn's father nailing a horseshoe above the door to the bedroom - without taking it off the horse.

* "Break A Leg" is a ''gold mine''. Cal Jordan accidentally crashes his bike into Walter Shakespeare and breaks Shakespeare's leg, leaving him bedridden and unable to assemble the bike race he and Edwin are putting on to promote the Harlequin Theatre, and it could not be plainer that Edwin is nigh-incapable of functioning on his own:
-->'''Edwin:''' Precisely how ''do'' you call a cab, Shakespeare?
-->'''Shakespeare:''' ...With the phone, sir.

-->'''Edwin''' (on the phone): No, no, no, I'm not performing. ...Well, you don't have to sound so ''pleased!''

-->'''Edwin:''' I, on the other hand, may need weeks of recovery—not to mention shock therapy.
** He has to ''ask Cal how to run a stopwatch''.
-->'''Cal:''' Is there anything else?
-->'''Edwin:''' Well...since you're on a roll...how are you with, say...microwave ovens?
** At the very beginning, as Edwin bemoans the Harlequin's lack of clientele:
-->'''Edwin:''' Today my soliloquy was interrupted ''three times'' by someone snoring. And I'd swear it sounded as if it came from backstage.
-->'''Shakespeare''' (flustered): Really? Uh...the acoustics can be very deceptive, sir.
*** He also apparently once performed a scene from ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' for Shakespeare in the Park while a boombox thudded in the background and found himself ''rapping'' the "to be or not to be" soliloquy.
--->'''Shakespeare:''' It...drew a crowd, sir.
--->'''Edwin:''' Only because I threw out my back doing the hand gestures!
** How hilariously plain it is that Cryin' Bryan Dern might prefer any number of excruciating tortures than to be covering this bike race.
-->"Edwin Blackgaard, the organizer of the race, looks like he's doing the death scene from ''Theatre/RichardIII''. Or maybe he always looks that way."

-->"What could be better than dozens of kids riding their bikes over a nearly impossible track to win a new bike? [indistinguishable muttering] Oh! And a pass to the Harlequin! Other than waiting for my Aunt Edna's varicose veins to heal, I can't think of a thing."
*** Midway through the race:
--->"I see two cyclists who have taken the lead. It's, uh...one kid and another kid."
