* "The Infiltration" has Gadget confronting Presto Changeo, each insisting that he's the real Gadget. The real Gadget stands near Chief Quimby, and then Gadget's mallet activates by itself and bonks Quimby on the head. Needless to say, this helps Quimby SpotTheImpostor:
-->'''Quimby''': ''(Pointing at Presto Changeo)'' Arrest that man! ''(Points at Gadget)'' This has '''got''' to be the real Gadget.
Gadget's {{Leitmotif}} playing as Quimby says this makes it all the funnier.

* Gadget acting drunk after someone drugs his drink in "A Race To The Finish," to the point where he starts doing donuts on the racetrack.
* Gadget's horrifically bad attempt at flying a rickety airplane in "Photo Safari," starting with this exchange:
--> '''Penny:''' Are you sure about this Uncle Gadget?
--> '''Gadget:''' No problem, Penny! The nice mechanic said any fool could fly this plane!
** And fly it he does. Upside down, sideways, through buildings and nearly into the ground, all before leaving the runway area. What really makes it hilarious it is Penny and Brain's shell shocked reactions, though - while Gadget's whistling and singing, completely oblivious to the danger they were just in as usual, Brain's freaking out and Penny frozen to her seat looking like she's having trouble not joining him.
