* The entirety of ''A Holly Jolly Holiday'' is hilarious, especially the main premise. It's about a girl whose older sister loves a completely sappy and corny Christmas special, and manages to find a video tape of it at the mall. But the video magically transforms the viewers into the movie's main character, Susie Snowflake, and the girl is horrified as her parents, sister, and even her dog turn into redheaded baking-obsessed idiots. In fact, it starts happening to the girl as well, who mentions she tried to swear at one point but could only say "Oh sugar cookies!"
* As mentioned by BloggerBeware, the ending of ''Marshmallow Surprise'' can be considered one. Basically the story builds up to a climax where Mrs. Spooner reveals that Marsha and her brothers are going to melt into goo as revenge for the pranks they've pulled on her, and then [[spoiler: out of nowhere the kids turn out to be werewolves and eat her. It's so completely stupid it's hilarious.]]

** And then there's the commercial for ''Greatest Monster Love Songs''. It must be seen to be believed.
* ''Strained Peas'' was about a kid who discovered his baby sister is actually a monster. The story ends with the reveal that his ''actual'' sister, who'd been switched by accident, apparently picked up some tips from her monster mom and threatens the kid. Now in the story, the kid's horrified. In the TV show, he basically rolls his eyes and can't believe he has to go through this all over again.
* In ''Attack of the Mutant'', as Skipper finally faces off against the Masked Mutant, he tries to bluff his way out by proclaiming he's really the hero known as the Colossal Elastic Boy. At which point the Mutant exclaims, in complete sincerity, "Elastic Boy! I ''thought'' you looked familiar!" At no point was there ever a character called Elastic Boy mentioned before that moment, and that just makes it even funnier.
