[[AC:The Bright Side of Life]]
* When the Mystery Shack crew shows up for the FinalBattle, Dipper complains that he's the only one without a weapon.
* Plankton arrives in a robot suit and gleefully joins the fray.
-->'''Plankton''': Finally, an excuse to fight the law and be praised for it!
* Group Captain Mallory, the WWII prisoner Stevonnie met back in Devil's Island, shows up to provide air support.
-->'''Stevonnie''': [[BrickJoke He did it! He dug out of prison! ...with the spoons ...huh.]]
* E350 is surprised to learn he has a legal team, and asks to know who they are. Cue scene cut to Lionel Hutz, the Zircons, and Timmy's Dad.
-->'''Blue Zircon''': Hey, since when are you a lawyer?
-->'''Mr. Turner''': I just wanted to be a part of things. [[LampshadeHanging I haven't appeared in]] ''[[LampshadeHanging years!]]''
* E350 summons his Viking friend Thorvald to break through the cabin's defenses. Thorvald charges the door... then pauses and sprinkles some olive oil on the doorknob, which shorts out the security system. Tulip is left incredulous at such a WeaksauceWeakness.
* The Bus Driver's final gambit is to use the Fiddley Thing to create an evil Nazi version of E350, as part of a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech about how he's the true villain. Before E3 [[ShutUpHannibal up and decides to just obliterate the illusion]], Nazi!E3 makes out with Nazi!Sandy; after the illusion is broken, Sandy is left retching in disgust, which E3 notes doesn't do much for his self-esteem.
-->'''Sandy''': Does evil-you ever brush his darn teeth?
-->'''E350''': Probably not, [[EvilIsPetty he's evil after all.]]
* The Bus Driver is dumbfounded when, after [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath talking him down]], E350 breaks out into a rendition of [[Theatre/{{Spamalot}} "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"]].
* The final lines of the story, and thus the series:
-->''No bus drivers were harmed in the making of this series.''
-->''Many Nazis were, [[AcceptableTargets but we don't care so much about them]].''

* How does the Bus Driver ultimately sabotage E350's plan? [[CuttingTheKnot By pulling the plug on his modem.]]
* Sandy and Stevonnie note that the Bus Driver's petty nature makes it ''very'' hard to feel any sympathy for him dying from cancer.
* E350 notes that since ''Halloween Unspectacular'' is rated T, he's allowed one PrecisionFStrike per story, but has never used it. Facing the LastStand, he gives the honor to Tulip, whose wording leaves Agent Parker incoherent in rage.
-->'''Tulip''': ''Fuck the police!''

* The entire sequence where E350 is stocking his group up on heavy weaponry, all of which he claims is stun only. Despite the fact that it includes crowbars, a Browning machine gun, and ''landmines''.
-->'''Sandy''': (''about the mines'') What, do they explode into ''stun fire?''
-->'''E350''': [[BluntYes Yes.]]
** E3's explanation is just to HandWave it as "science".
* Agent Parker's InsaneTrollLogic spiel about how unelected, unaccountable people like him are better representatives of democracy than elected politicians. He also seems to think that pictures of the Attorney General eating at Carl Jrs. [[TakeThat counts as blackmail material]].

* Stan apparently made several jokes about why zombies would look for brains in [[SurroundedByIdiots Gravity Falls]].
* When Dipper is moaning about Mabel and Pacifica being infected, Stan helpfully points out that the same thing happened to Soos.
* Rather than traditional zombies, the infected turn into historical stereotypes.
** Pacifica becomes a medieval peasant.
** Mabel becomes a 1920s flapper girl.
** Wendy becomes an 18th century French noblewoman. [[AttractiveGenderBent So does Dipper.]]
* Stan and Ford's reactions to having to make a LastStand against the zombie horde.
-->'''Stan''': For the record? I blame you for this.
-->'''Ford''': That's reasonable.
** While making said last stand, Ford notes that to cure the plague, he's need "[[NoodleImplements a Sev'ral Timez album, a mountain of formaldehyde, a mountain of cinnamon, and a very large fire hose]]".

[[AC:Robot Connie vs the Moon Nazis]]
* As the title suggests, this whole entry is an AffectionateParody of 1950s sci-fi B-movies. Naturally, it's full of HamAndCheese.
* It's noted that the lab guys who made Connie turned her name into an acronym and only then decided what it should stand for.
* Science Princess Peridot's gown is constantly stirring in a breeze, even though Connie's sure there wasn't one a moment ago.
* Connie can breathe in space because she's a robot, Peridot can do it because she's a science princess, and Amethyst can do it... because she's British.
* Hitler has anime super powers courtesy of the Japanese.
* Just when the story starts talking about Chief Warlock Himmler, it cuts to E350 writing it on his laptop, with Stevonnie cutting in that that last part is a bit too much. E3 admits the point, then reveals he was just procrastinating towards getting to the Catalyst plan.

[[AC: E3's Eleven (Minus Six)]]
* While outlining his plan to steal the Crucible, E350 makes a random comment about ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyGhosts'' being the worst in the series. Steven [[LampshadeHanging notes the oddity]] of throwing that in.
* Stevonnie goes to the police in a PaperThinDisguise and says that the District Attorney wants E3's Anti-Magic Tommy Gun for [[BlatantLies display at the county fair]]. Since the cops in question are [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Lou and Eddie]], they [[PoliceAreUseless buy this without question]].
** When Agent Parker shows up looking for the gun and is told that DA wanted, he panics and assumes they mean Website/DeviantArt. When they correct him, he pretends he was just kidding, but they don't buy it.
* The guy selling Soos a car nearly breaks into a rendition of [[Film/{{Grease}} "Greased Lightning"]] before Soos cuts him off.
* When Tulip protests the insanity of E3's plan, he counters by asking if it's more insane than the plot of ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain''. She admits his point.
* E3 starts giving a RousingSpeech that rapidly turns into a knockoff of Churchill's "Never surrender" speech.
** Then Soos [[FailedAttemptAtDrama ruins the moment]] by tripping during the group's slow motion walk. E3 makes everyone start over for another take.

* Jimmy reveals to the Nicktoons that he's had to accept corporate sponsorship to keep the team funded. When Danny asks how he was funding them beforehand, Jimmy casually mentions selling depleted uranium on the black market.
* The corporate board that now owns the Nicktoons discussing how they can make the team more appealing to young viewers. The fact that they immediately make it clear that they don't know what young people like should be a warning of how well this goes.
** One suggestion is to give the team DorkAge-style costumes, with large shoulder pads and glowing lines.
** Most of the board being unable to wrap their heads around having more than one girl on the team.
** Not a single board member can think of a black protagonist to add to the team.

* After the board adjourns, it turns out that Mr. Burns is the CEO, and this whole thing is a villainous plot to crush hero teams.
** Smithers mentions that Homer has become a pie-themed superhero that the corporation is trying to franchise.

* Upon finding out that E350 moved to a cliffside shack after last year's climax, Steven expresses surprise, as he'd assumed he'd gone on a quest of self-discovery, because that's what you do in these situations.
* Soos reluctantly admitting that he broke Sandy out of prison to perform an intervention because E350 has gone all Thor in ''Film/AvengersEndgame''.
* When trying to snap E350 out of his HeroicBSOD by pointing out that a year ago he'd have already been coming up with a plan:
-->'''E350''': Yeah, and a year ago, I was an idiot.
-->'''Steven''': That's not true!
-->(''Connie, Sandy, and Soos stare at him'')
-->'''Steven''': Okay, it's true, but it's not ''bad!''
* Sandy pointing out that E350 literally labeled a window he stares out of to brood as "the brooding window". She also states that if he wanted to be normal, he wouldn't be living on a house on the side of a cliff.

[[AC:Don't Ask]]
* Steven picks up a hitchhiking Rick and Morty, who have [[NoodleIncident apparently just buried an alien Morty accidentally killed with a high-five]]. Things go downhill from there.
* Rick notes how the term "manslaughter" is sexist because it's used even when you accidentally kill a woman. Morty actually agrees with him.
* Steven's quick summary of his life story:
-->"Oh, I'm just driving around the country to find myself. Y'know, 'cause my mom and her family were alien space dictators, and then I had a midlife crisis at sixteen and ''literally'' turned into a monster...
* When Steven and Rick start fighting, [[BullyingADragon Rick pulls a laser gun on Steven]]. One GilliganCut later, Rick is imbedded in a cactus. Morty notes that considering most people Rick pisses off want to kill him, this is an improvement.
