[[folder:Going the Extra Milo]]
* Our introduction to Milo and his bad luck. As he's introducing himself to Zack, he mentions he's been called "the J word" a few times. After that, a heavy-duty bungee lands a few feet away from them, followed by a concrete pipe rolling towards the two. Fortunately, Milo manages to use the bungee to propel them to safety. They start walking on the said concrete pipe and land in a pool of mud. Milo casually tells Zack to scoot over so the pipe doesn't crush them. Zack's response to everything that just happened?
-->'''Zack''': The J word wouldn't happen to be [[TheJinx Jinx]], would it?
* When Milo and Zack have just begun running:
--->'''Zack''': Wait; why aren't ''you'' screaming!?!\\
'''Milo''': [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror I find it doesn't help.]] Just hurts the larynx.
* Zack is worried he and Milo will be late for school. Milo's phone, which has a GPS, got wet and is not usable. His backup plan, a paper map, gets taken away by a bird.
-->'''Milo:''' Huh. Well, don't worry; I remember the way. This has happened before! ''(runs)''\\
'''Zack:''' ''This'' has happened before? This ''exact thing?''\\
'''Milo:''' We'll beat [the bus] to the next stop. We just have to go through the rock quarry.\\
'''Zack:''' Rock quarry! Sure! WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong
** There was an oil spill.
* Melissa spending the episode betting that Milo and Zack will make it to school safe and winning the whole pot to boot.
* Despite Bradley's loathing of Milo, [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike they both think Vitamin C tablets are a valuable betting currency because it's cold and flu season]].
* During Zack's FreakOut about being in Coyote Woods, assuming it's a MeaningfulName, Milo reassures him it was named after the actor, Creator/PeterCoyote. He donated the land to the city as a [[BaitAndSwitch wolf]] [[WorryingForTheWrongReason preserve]].
-->'''Zack:''' (flatly) You get how that's not better, right?
** SmashCut to a wolf pack chasing them.
* Milo casually informs Zack that wolves rarely ever attack people, and that bees cause many more fatalities per year. The audience almost doesn't need the pan upward to show the beehive in the tree with them.
** One of the wolves ends up with the beehive on its head and continues to chase Milo and Zack. Zack asks what the odds are for people being killed by wolves with beehives on their heads and Milo admits that they'd be the first known cases.
* The construction workers casually saying hi to Milo as he and Zack float through the site.
* Zack asking the aliens if they'll help them get to school. It works.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Undergrounders]]
* When entering the Subway platform, Milo is telling Zack and Melissa that he's interested in paleontology, archaeology, "all the ologies". Melissa replies, not unkindly, "Milo you are an 'ology' unto yourself."
* Zack remarks that it's his first time riding the subway.
-->'''Melissa:''' You've never been on the subway? It's dark and dirty and full of weird smells.\\
'''Milo:''' That was their ad campaign last year.
* When the subway car comes loose:
-->'''Mort:''' So ''that's'' what a runaway train car looks like... to be honest, I'm a little disappointed.
* To distract Zack from the enclosed walls of the loose subway car, Milo tap-dances. This doesn't work, however, so his second plan is to put a bunch of posters from France up, [[ActorAllusion play the accordion]] and wear a beret.
-->'''Zack''': ''Now'' I'm distracted. Have you been carrying that the whole time?
** Then, it's realized that Milo ''[[CrazyPrepared had a key to the subway doors the entire time]]''.
--->'''Zack''': Okay. Next time, key first, tap dancing later.
* The RunningGag with the Undergrounder (named Scott) who constantly declares "X shall be our/my leader."
** At one point, Scott declares Diogee to be their leader. When one of the Undergrounders asks if he's allergic to dogs, Scott drops the crazy act and confirms he is in a normal voice.
** Scott declares Bradley to be his leader near the end. It takes Scott five seconds of chatting with Bradley to back out of the offer. Then, Bradley tries bragging about it.
--->'''Bradley''': He saw something in me.\\
'''Melissa''': Whatever he saw, he also saw it in a dog.\\
'''Zack''': (''Picks up Diogee's ears while imitating Scott's voice'') The floppy-eared one will be our leader!
* Zack tries to distract himself while in the underground city the Undergrounders have built (after a month of being lost no less) by eating some [[ReducedToRatburgers "chicken"]] and muses on what part it might be. Melissa [[DeadpanSnarker snarks]] [[DontExplainTheJoke "The rat part?"]]
* Scott's crazy names such as calling the underground workers 'The Belownies' which sounds like a lunch meat. He also calls their home Subteranis (complete with ''echo''), which one of the workers told Milo and his friends that it was true and they decided just to let him have that.
* One of the Undergrounders tells Milo and co. that they've established a civilization underground, noting that it's amazing what you can accomplish when you're not setting up and moving orange cones.
* At the museum gift shop:
-->'''Bradley:''' [[ShoutOut Mort, do you]] ''[[ShoutOut really]]'' [[ShoutOut need more]] [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse rose quartz?]]\\
'''Mort:''' If you only knew its properties, you wouldn't be asking me that.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Sunny Side Up]]
* Mrs. Murawski's [[CargoShip affinity for her desk]] and how disturbing the class clearly finds it.
** Near the end, while she's criticizing the failed projects:
-->'''Mrs. Murawski:''' Think of my desk! I know ''I'' am!
* When Mrs. Murawski informs the class that they'll be operating in teams of three, the rest of the class predictably ducks down, leaving our PowerTrio. Melissa looks back and calls the rest of the class "Cowards".
-->'''Zack''': Any limit on the number of eggs we break while we're building it?\\
'''Mrs. Murawski''': No.\\
'''Zack''': Okay then.
* Bradley tells Melissa she should join his team, "Team Melissa". [[BlatantLies Which he named for a different Melissa.]]
* This exchange:
--> '''Bradley''': You're gonna jeopardize those straight "A"s? You know; eggs can be rather fragile.\\
'''Melissa''': Bring it on. [[BadassBoast I eat eggs for breakfast.]]\\
'''Bradley''': [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Yeah. So do all of us.]]
* Zack brings two bags of eggs, one of which is immediately smashed the moment Milo opens his front door. Cue Melissa arriving on her bike hauling a trailer with hundreds of cartons of eggs. Zack asks her if maybe she's gone a bit overboard. Milo's door immediately falls over, smashing the last of Zack's eggs with a hanging lamp dropping down to overkill it, to which Melissa replies that, no, she doesn't think she's gone overboard. Zack's response? {{Touche}}.
* During the development phase of the egg carrier, one of the eggs hatches. The bird flies away, and is clearly not a chicken.
* Milo sticks an egg in his pocket. Zack notes that this won't end well. [[BrickJoke Except that it ends up as]] [[ChekhovsGun the sole surviving egg for their final test at school.]]
** Meanwhile, Zack tests their latest prototype, [[HopeSpot which seems to work fine]]...then it randomly flies off, [[CallBack hits a passing bird]], and explodes in a mushroom cloud.
* The list of things the egg must survive includes "Zack's butt", "Bad Vibes", and "Acts of Diogee".
** Storyboard artist Ashley Simpson graciously provided the entire list on her Tumblr.
--> ''- Two Story Drop\\
- Wood Door\\
- Tree Branch\\
- 8 ½ Sneaker\\
- Zack's Butt\\
- Raccoon Attack\\
- Freak Hammer\\

- Acts of Diogee\\

* It took 17:22 hours and 10,132.05 eggs for Milo and the gang to make the perfect container for their egg drop.
** God only knows what the '.05' represents.
* Melissa doesn't want to keep naming their prototypes to avoid attachment.
* Zack and Melissa both have dreams in which they wake up to something awful that happened to "Big Bertha" and their egg, respectively, and then wake up relieved things are okay. Then [[RuleOfThree Milo has a dream]] about [[NothingIsScarier nothing bad happening when he wakes up]], which he notes is "peculiar". Then he wakes up for real to a tree falling through his window and feels just as relieved as his friends.
* Melissa reminds the boys:
-->'''Melissa:''' Oh, and FYI, a tremendous portion of my self-esteem is wrapped up in my grade point average... but, y'know, no pressure.\\
'''Mrs. Murawski:''' [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything You know, I made that pencil you're holding.]]\\
(''Melissa slowly backs away'')
* As their device begins to catapult around town, Milo begins to call out the various obstacles that it's about to encounter/collide with, with Zack confirming in increasingly concerned tones that it should be able to survive.
* After Diogee eats the last egg, Milo starts to say, [[{{Pun}} "Well, I guess the yolk's..."]] only for Melissa to interrupt him and say that [[LamePunReaction she specifically told him not to make any egg puns]].
* A meta example: [[http://pigspeetsandhooflikefeets.tumblr.com/post/151497555514/my-sisters-solution-during-the-egg-episode this Tumblr post]] documents how the poster's sister came up with an unorthodox solution to the episode's main conflict:
-->'''Sister:''' Just have Milo hold the egg.
-->'''Poster:''' Are you implying [[InsaneTrollLogic they should drop Milo off a two-story building holding an egg]]?
-->'''Sister:''' It'd ''probably'' work.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rooting for the Enemy]]
* Bradley having a freak-out when he sees that Milo was sitting next to Melisa at the pep rally.
** Then there's his comment at the football game:
-->'''Bradley:''' Hey, Melissa! You can sit with us if you value your life!
* The "defunded marching band", consisting of five kids in ill-fitting uniforms playing such esoteric instruments as a didgeridoo, a banjo, a thumb piano, a jug, and a ''bucket''.
* The RunningGag of Milo's luck causing a car crash off-screen with [[ThatPoorCat a cat screaming]] and chicken clucking in the background.
* [[NoodleIncident The last football game Milo went to had a llama stampede]].
* The team sending Milo "Thank You" notes for staying away from the games.
* Milo and Melissa's "Not Football" Friday where they used to go bowling but now do things that don't involve dangerously heavy round objects. They tried playing cards, but Melissa got kidnapped by an orangutan (which she still considers safer than going bowling).
* When Mort slips down a hill and falls into a dumpster that promptly rolls into a pond, he blames it on his "blocked chakra" rather than Milo's bad luck.
* As Milo cartwheels out of his bedroom, there's a series of crashes, explosions, and screams. This turns out to be Milo playing a "Sounds of Disaster" CD. Then his boom-box falls apart.
* Diogee preps for the game by shoving his face into a foam finger, which he uses to ring the doorbell when Milo tells him to stay home. He shows up anyway, of course, this time with ''two'' foam fingers that make it impossible to tell which end of him is which.
* The Geckos are so lackluster they can't tear through the banner for their team at the game, and have to cut it with scissors instead.
* Milo and Melissa running into Joni and their principal:
-->'''Milo:''' Hey Joni, want to sit with us?\\
'''Joni:''' Hey, Milo! I just got the cast off from last time.\\
'''Principal Milder:''' Melissa, Milo! Ha, good to see you! ''([[FunnyBackgroundEvent Joni gets hit by a football in the background]])'' I was under the impression you promised Coach Mitchell you would never show up at a game.\\
'''Melissa:''' No, it's okay, 'cause we're gonna lose anyway. The coach said so at the pep rally.\\
'''Principal Milder:''' Did he? ''(AsideGlance)'' I'm gonna have to explain "pep" to that man.
* When the marching band waved 'Hi' to Milo, they all pulled out riot-shields!
* Melissa asks if Milo and his group of supporters are okay after falling into a pit and having a ''goalpost'' land on them. Milo's hand rises from the rubble, giving a thumbs up.
--> '''Milo''': (''Muffled'') I think I broke my thumb.
** Milo is then seen at his own suite in the hospital with a huge cast on that thumb.
* The gecko mascot costume has traits of real geckos, including being able to stick to glass (though the person inside tends to fall out...) and a tail that wriggles on its own after being severed.
* After his team starts winning, the previously pessimistic coach confuses them with his attempts at a new pep talk.
--> '''Coach:''' Okay, Geckos, come on, bring it in. I know I said we were gonna lose this game, but you guys didn't listen to me! And I'm glad! Now, we're only behind by two points! So get out there and continue not listening to me! You understand?
--> '''Gecko #1:''' So, does that mean we shouldn't listen to you starting now, or before when you told us not to listen to you?
--> '''Gecko #2:''' Yeah, because I wasn't really listening to you just now.
--> '''Coach:''' Would you just, just, just — I don't even exist! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go, Geckos!
* During the "Rooting for the Enemy" song, when Milo is dancing in the bleachers full of Tiger fans, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent you can see a dad covering his son's eyes]].
* For some reason French food is served at the game... including one guy serving crème brulee who accidentally sets a goal post and the scoreboard on fire.
--> '''Milo:''' Wow. French food at a football game?\\
'''Melissa:''' Last year they tried German sausages, but [[FunWithHomophones they were the wurst]]. ''({{Rimshot}} plays)''\\
'''Band Drummer:''' [[LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn Check it out, I found a snare drum.]]
* The coach seeing that the team won and he thinks it's all a dream. He runs off seeing if he could fly, only to fall flat on his face as soon as he jumped.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Doctor Zone Files]]
* The Doctor Zone Files have a lovely degree of StylisticSuck. For example, when the Time Vehicle lifts off, you can see the shadow on the matte painting in the background. And that it's dangling on a piece of string.
* Doctor Zone repeatedly trying to push the button with his present hand. ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext.
-->'''Doctor Zone''': The present is preventing me from getting to the future!
* Melissa and Zack on the Murphy couch, clearly zonked and in their PJs, having just endured an all-night marathon of The Doctor Zone Files, are both excited and confused about the new Doctor Zone movie. [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs They're exfused/concited.]]
--> '''Zack''': My hand is asleep. I envy it.
* When Milo tells Melissa and Zack about Dr. Zone's incarnations before ''The Dr. Zone Files: The Next Regeneration'': The Zone, Dr. Zone, Professor Zone, and ''Adjunct Faculty Member'' Zone, which only lasted for a semester.
* After Sara remarks that "Dr. Zone fans can be kind of elitist," it cuts to two upper-crust English women having tea... who then notice the line of cosplaying Doctor Zone fans outside lining up for the movie.
* "She really puts a lot of faith in punctuation."
* Sara getting increasingly paranoid about protecting their movie tickets. "Does anyone know how to fuse flesh and paper?"
* When Diogee shows up for his OnceAnEpisode appearance, Milo gives him a ticket to see [[{{Pun}} The Dog-Door Bone Files]] at the "pet theater" across the street. Poor Diogee ends up seated behind a pompadoured poodle who obstructs his view of the screen.
* The insufferable "oldbie" fans explaining the origins of Time Ape.
* Sara sniffing the air, and Milo agreeing that "It smells quiet..." "''Too'' quiet!"
* The exploding pistachio stand.
* "Oldbies, newbies, lend me your ears... ''(someone holds a pair of ears in Sara's view)'' [[LamePunReaction No, not literally!]]"
* If Dr. Zone having a [[RummageSaleReject ridiculous costume]] isn't funny enough, wait until you find out that he's basically been wearing it since he was born.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Note]]
* Melissa's [[SoUnfunnyItsFunny joke about osmium]] going completely over Zack and Milo's heads.
* Melissa has been documenting the effects of Murphy's Law for the benefit of Milo's doctor by taking cell phone pictures of all [[NoodleIncident the catastrophes]] they find themselves in because of it.
-->'''Melissa:''' Yeah, the kangaroos, the tangerine fight at Mardi Gras, the asteroid...\\
'''Milo:''' [[RunningGag The llama incident]]...\\
'''Zack:''' Wait, so you've been taking pictures this (''Melissa shows him her phone'') ''Holy cow!''\\
'''Melissa:''' Yup, Milo gets around!\\
'''Zack:''' ''How long is your selfie stick?!''
* Any and all interactions with crossing guard Eliot ([[InsistentTerminology "Safety Czar!"]]), who has Milo's name on the opposite side of his stop-sign.
-->'''Zack:''' How do you stop people who ''aren't'' Milo?\\
'''Eliot:''' I don't turn the sign around.
* [[MetaphorIsMyMiddleName Milo's middle name is]] [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep literally "Danger."]] It was his grandmother's maiden name and it's pronounced [[PretentiousPronunciation "Dawn-zhay."]]
* Milo and his friends briefly being distracted by what you call a group of cyclists.
-->'''Zack:''' I think it's a pod.\\
'''Melissa:''' No, that's whales!
* There are two running stories in the background about some sort of spy agency and an astronaut. It's sort of like OWCA, but with humans and more dangerous. And still funny.
* Melissa's attempt at an inspiring speech after the note gets lost in a ticker-tape parade.
-->'''Melissa:''' When we signed up to be Milo's friends, we knew it wouldn't be easy!\\
'''Zack:''' [[LiteralMinded I don't remember signing anything...]]\\
'''Melissa:''' So are we going to find that note?\\
'''Milo:''' That's a good question.\\
'''Zack:''' You're supposed to say "yes", Milo.
* The ticker-tape parade is a ''literal'' ticker-tape parade, celebrating its anniversary. The astronaut in the parade was just getting a ride somewhere.
* "And to think of all the parade astronauts I've unnecessarily disintegrated..."
* "After that slow-moving street sweeper!"
* Zack makes the mistake of asking Melissa how their situation can get any worse. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk2rtk4zUpk Her answer leaves Milo and Zack at a loss for words.]]
-->'''Melissa''' ''(increasingly intense):'' Well, you could accidentally get your head caught in a helicopter door that flies you out over the ocean, where it drops you straight into a pod of ravenous orca that rip you apart, leaving nothing but your ''bones'' for the hungry crabs in the inky depths at the bottom of the ocean!\\
'''Zack''': Wow! I mean...\\
'''Milo''': Yeah, I'm...I'm not sure how to respond to that.
* [[SimilarSquad The gang of similar kids]] also looking for a doctor's note. [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment They come out of nowhere and are not mentioned again]]...seriously, they even have their own version of Diogee as a pig.
* Milo repeatedly saying that they'll never be able to find his doctor, then cutting to two guys on a golf course asking each other if they're a doctor, replying that they are not. The end of the episode [[HoYay brings the gag home]].
-->'''1st Man''': I have a confession to make. I ''am'' a doctor.\\
'''2nd Man''': You--Why didn't you tell me the truth?\\
'''1st Man''': I wanted you to like me for who I am.\\
'''2nd Man''': Well, it totally worked.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Party of Peril]]
* The brief shot of [[NoodleIncident the last time they threw a birthday party for Milo]]. It involved a fireman trying to wrangle a runaway pony, an explosion of confetti, and paramedics wheeling away a shell-shocked party clown.
* Melissa baits Amanda into helping to set up the party by manipulating her SuperOCD tendencies.
-->'''Amanda:''' Don't think I don't know what you just did.
* Melissa ends up roping Eliot into distracting Milo while they set up the surprise party.
-->'''Eliot:''' You're on my radar, Milo Murphy! (''holds an actual radar'') Oh, wait, no, that's a flock of birds... Wait, wait, ''now'' you're on my radar, Milo Murphy!
* The OverlyLongGag of Eliot being attacked by a duck.
** It even crosses over into the next episode.
* Milo's parents setting up the party at the go-kart track.
-->'''Martin:''' This is perfect! The track makes everyone wear helmets and fire-proof jumpsuits.\\
'''Bridgette:''' Oh, great! For once we won't look out of place.
* One of the guests declares his intention to hide in the bushes for the duration of Milo's party. Not because of Milo, but because ''[[ThePerfectionist Amanda]]'' scares him.
* "They've got go-karts! [[ShapedLikeItself They're karts that]] ''[[ShapedLikeItself go!]]''"
* After all the build-up, the disaster that happens during Milo's party is...a group of ducks attacking the party-goers after they get covered in cake and ice cream.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Smooth Opera-tor]]
* The poor performer getting interrupted by the set falling apart every time he tries to sing. Helped by him having little to no reaction to it.
* Diogee in an Opera helmet.
* Vinnie and Balthazar fail to protect the Pistachios.
--> '''Balthazar''': [[EpicFail You had one job...]]\\
'''Vinnie''': [[NoYou Yeah, well you had the same job.]]
* One of the stage guys gives an elaborate description of how the overhead lights might be dislodged, complete with arrows shows the Rube-Goldberg-esque chain of events that could lead to disaster...then concludes with "Or the rope might just come loose 'cause I didn't tie it too good."
* The sheer absurdity of the opera, ''The Mezzo-Sopranos,'' about a Mafia war between different vocal ranges which is solved (in Milo's improvised ending) by the revelation that ''all'' of the warring singers are in fact baritones. When the cast bows at the end, one of the performers is dressed as a ''giraffe.''
* Though some of the degree of Amanda's perfectionist nature had been shown in the previous episode, here it's revealed that she schedules everything, including time for fun.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Worked Day]]
* Melissa gives Zack 14:1 odds on a disaster occurring with Milo AND his father in the same place at the same time. It's not five minutes before we see her collecting on that bet.
** Zack asks if he can get a second helmet. A moment later we see him AND Melissa wearing two helmets apiece.
* Melissa's career of choice? Journalist '''''and''''' Queen of the Universe!
* One of the career choices listed was Animator. [[SelfDeprecation Milo doesn't think that's a real job.]]
* This exchange after Dakota fails to keep up with Cavendish:
-->'''Dakota:''' ''(panting)'' I should not have eaten all those wax lips.
-->'''Cavendish:''' How can you be so out of shape? You're wearing a tracksuit!
-->'''Dakota:''' Well, ''you're'' wearing a top hat, how can you be so--I don't know, [[LameComeback out of rabbits]].
* This gem from Vinnie Dakota as he is dragged through the streets.
--> '''Vinnie''' : ''I'm literally riding your coattails.'' [[CreatorCameo (Especially funny when you remember that Dakota and Cavendish are voiced by Dan Povenmire and Jeff Marsh respectively)]]
* At one point, Diogee leaps from a catwalk, as several people simultaneously shout, "Diogee, go home!"
* The teacher tells the class that the next stop on the field trip is to visit Melissa's father at the fish hatchery. Zack says he thought Melissa's Dad was a firefighter.
--> '''Melissa''': He is. The fish hatchery is probably on fire.
** Sure enough...
* Melissa's Dad questions whether or not Milo was at the hatchery at all that morning.
** Complete with Milo being [[OutOfCharacterMoment uncharacteristically annoyed]] [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore by the accusation]].
--> '''Milo''': ''(cheerfully)'' Why Mr. Chase, I'm flattered! ''(suddenly deadpan, visibly irritated)'' [[NotMeThisTime But no.]]
* Melissa's Dad's [[OhCrap reaction]] to Milo suggesting he might like to be a firefighter:
-->'''Mr. Chase:''' Milo...a fireman...\\
'''Melissa:''' He said 'might,' Dad.
** Then, after Milo's first try with a firehose
--->'''Mr. Chase:''' [[EpicFail Well, Milo; you're the first person in history]] [[{{Irony}} to ever start a fire with water.]]\\
'''Milo:''' Thanks!\\
'''Mr. Chase:''' Not really a compliment.
* [[AmbiguouslyHuman Mr. Draco]], getting an MRI, believes the flashing red lights (caused by Milo's [[HereditaryCurse curse]] flipping a switch to full power before breaking it) are because he crossed his arms over his chest and keeping up the proper position after being shot out of the MRI and thrown out an open window (which he lampshades).
* Scott the Undergrounder's cameo.
-->'''Scott:''' Hey! Who stole my door?
* When the MRI goes haywire, Milo's backpack is quickly stripped of its metal contents, including an anchor; Melissa questions that last one and Milo coyly responds "You don't know everything about me."
* "Diogee, go ho...Oh, you are home. Good boy."
* After Brigette has a heartfelt talk with Milo about how he doesn't have to decide on just one career and gives him a hug:
-->'''Brigette:''' [[BrickJoke All right, where's your anchor?]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Wilder West]]
* This exchange:
-->'''Jackie:''' You know what they say: tempting fate is like a rainbow; it's too beautiful not to want to slide down like a leprechaun!
-->'''Melissa:''' No one has ever said that.
* The Doctor Zone fans going about the ranch, fanboying about the dirt, the hay, and even a wall.
* This exchange, after everyone almost went over a waterfall in the middle of a storm:
--> '''Zack''': So... that girl is crazy, right.\\
'''Melissa''': Welcome back.
* At the end of the episode (after the kids had spent the day at a ranch and the adults at a store) Milo, Zack, and Melissa are dressed in ill-fitting period costumes while the Murphy car is filled with stuff:
-->'''Martin:''' Loaner clothes after a disaster ruined yours?\\
'''Milo:''' Yep. Stuff you broke and had to buy?\\
'''Brigette:''' Yep. Thankfully at half-price.
* [[BookEnds Milo's parents almost forgetting about Sara]] not once, but ''twice''. The first time, they almost forget to drop Sara off because she's quietly glued to her phone in the back seat. The second time, they (along with Milo) don't realize that they've left her at the ranch until they reach the ''city limits''.
-->'''Milo:''' ''[gasps in realization]'' Sara!\\
'''Brigette:''' Oh! ''[turns car around]'' Why do I keep forgetting about her?!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Family Vacation]]
* Melissa showing Zack the scrapbook of several Murphy Family Vacations, including such treasures as the Titanic, the Hindenburg, and Mount Vesuvius!
--> '''Melissa''': To be fair, no one ever talks about the ''quiet'' volcanoes.
* The DoubleTake when the Brulee family realizes they picked up Milo.
-->'''Mr. Brulee''': Did everyone go before we left?
-->'''Milo''': Sure thing, Dad.
-->'''Mr. Brulee''': Excellent, son. ''[{{Beat}}]'' Wait a minute! We don't have a son!
-->'''Milo:''' Oh my gosh! This seat isn't a floatation device!
* The RunningGag of the jars to collect money for various idiosyncracies, like "Eye Rolling", "Excessive Use of the Word 'Grand'", and "Sappy Sentiment".
* "Sometimes the interruptions are the best part. And other times, they're mind-numbingly terrifying. I can't wait to find out which one this is."
* Horseface, the Equestrian Barbarian!
* This example of DissonantSerenity:
-->'''Mr. Murphy''': You must be the Brulees.
-->'''Mr. Brulee''': And you must be nuts! How can you be so calm? [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext We are driving down a rampaging river carrying a dinosaur made of ham!]]
-->'''Mr. Murphy''': And isn't it a great day for it?
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Murphy's Lard]]
* Lard World's premiere roller coaster is called "Greased Thunder," prompting this exchange.
--> '''Zack:''' Thunder's a sound. [[SeinfeldianConversation How can it be greased?]]
--> '''Milo:''' The same way you [[Film/{{Grease}} grease lightning]]. With lard!
* The fanfare that plays when Milo points out Greased Thunder isn't just the soundtrack. [[LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn It's Milo playing a trumpet next to Zack's (clearly annoyed) face]], until Zack pulls it away from him.
* Zack and Milo try to hi-five. Milo misses Zack's hand and hits his face.
* The origin of Melissa's roller coaster phobia: she was finishing up a science project on the first day of summer when a helicopter accidentally drops the roller coaster from the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' into her backyard.
** During her exposition, Milo starts to ask [[FridgeLogic why she was doing a science project on the first day of summer]] before Zack makes him stay on topic.
* Zack is deathly afraid of fish (tiny, harmless fish no less). Milo is deathly afraid of Chinese finger traps. Both have the same over-the-top hysterical reaction upon seeing one.
** And [[ParentalBonus it might go over the heads of the kids]], but how many adults were laughing at "[[Film/ApocalypseNow Never get out of the boat]]"?
* Cavendish and Dakota attempt to protect a pistachio stand from being destroyed, and the things that could destroy it include pigs, flames, and flaming pigs. [[{{Foreshadowing}} As expected for this series, that exact thing somehow happens...]] but it turns out that the protections the two agents gave to the stand [[TheCuckooLanderWasRight actually worked]]:
-->'''Cavendish''': There, you see? Flaming pig.\\
'''Henry''': I don't understand this at all, I'm sorry, mea culpa, you were a zillion percent right.
** They then disengage all the protections... at which point [[ItMakesSenseInContext the Lardee Boy head falls from the sky]] [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext because of aliens]], [[DoubleSubversion catapulting the flaming pig back into the stand]] in a ContrivedCoincidence worthy of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''.
--->'''Cavendish:''' (''[[TranquilFury annoyed, yet deadpan]]'') Dakota, play me out.\\
(''Dakota starts playing a jaundy, Randy Newman-esque tune on the clarinet while Henry accompanies on banjo.'')
* When Melissa decides to tackle the roller coaster, Milo goes into an impassioned speech about how brave she is to face her fears. It works... until she actually sees the coaster. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Then she tries to run.]] Without skipping a beat, Milo continues his praise of her bravery as he and Zack literally drag her back.
* Melissa is so caught up with facing her fear that she fails to realize the obvious problem with [[WalkingDisasterArea riding a roller coaster with Milo]] until they're already seated and his safety bar breaks off. Then her hand [[FromBadToWorse accidentally gets stuck to his finger.]] For bonus points, this all happens immediately after she says [[TemptingFate "what could possibly go wrong?"]]
--> '''Milo:''' ''[cheerfully as always]'' Hey! My safety railing came loose! [[NoodleIncident Just like last time!]]
** Rather than stay and help, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Zack ditches them]] [[OffscreenTeleportation and jumps back to the platform when she isn't looking]]. Even funnier, she was so busy trying to warn him about Milo that she didn't think to simply leave herself.
--> '''Zack:''' Maybe I shouldn't be here when she gets back...
* When they reach the top of the coaster, Milo sees a plane flying underneath them. Later, when they are accidentally launched back to the beginning of the ride, the same plane flies under again on a loop.
* When the coaster starts to fall, Milo can be heard giving a [[StockScream Wilhelm Scream.]] But rather than the stock sound effect, Weird Al appears to have performed it himself.
* Melissa and Milo both make girly screams on the coaster, and contrasts them by emphasizing Melissa making big girl screams and Milo the one sounding like a little girl.
* During the ride, Melissa cries out what sounds like either, "Oh, my lord!" or "Oh my, ''lard''!"[[note]]The closed caption writer put it as "lord", but there're many instances when they've been wrong about what was said on programs.[[/note]]
* After successfully avoiding his fears all episode, Zack gets a little LaserGuidedKarma when a tiny goldfish in a bag accidentally hits him just before the credits. He ScreamsLikeALittleGirl and runs away ranting about how they're even scarier in bags.
** The thing that caused the fish? A man's wheelbarrow somehow catapulted them at Zack:
-->'''Random guy''': [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext MY WHEELBARROW FULL OF FISH!]]
-->'''Girl at the counter''': [[UnfazedEveryman All sales are final.]]
* Vinnie's reaction when Balthazar is crushed by an out-of-control boulder:
-->'''Vinnie:''' If you're still alive, can we go home now?
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Secrets and Pies]]
* Zack 'badgering' Melissa with an actual stuffed badger.
* The ImagineSpot where Melissa [[RoboticReveal reveals herself to be a robot]]. What's more, it is shown ''twice'' in a row, [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike apparently having been thought up by both Zack and Melissa.]]
** Then when Melissa reveals her ''actual'' secret (some of her front teeth are actually dentures), Milo freaks out and tries to escape exactly like in the ImagineSpot... except he bumps on the garage door and creates an indent.
* The "Chop Away at My Heart" music video.
** Zack practically begging Melissa and Milo to turn it off.
-->'''Zack:''' Please turn it off! I will give you this dollar I found in your pocket!
-->'''Milo:''' Oh you can keep that.
* Melissa thinks British pizza is "a bit standoffish, but lovable."
* The little girl didn't warn the officer that molasses was flammable because, as she points out, "I'm four!"
* Melissa and Zack's [[OhCrap reactions]] to Milo offering to cook dinner... and nothing bad happens... well nothing bad until Milo realizes that he put too much yeast on the mac and cheese, and it expanded and exploded.
* As Milo, Melissa, and Zack talk about starting a new band together, they all look down to find Diogee (with a big, goofy smile on his face) sitting on their pizza.
-->'''Zack:''' ...And now we have to order another pizza.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Acadecamathalon]]
* Mr. Drako has sheets covering up what the students suspect are mirrors, but are actually pictures of his ex-wife. When questioned about why he doesn't simply remove the pictures, he responds that he would then have nowhere to hang his sheets.
* Mr. Drako tells the class that he didn't tell them about the athledecamathalon until the last minute because he didn't want them to stress out over it.
* Mr. Drako is told his hair is a disaster. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny He finds it amusing enough to accept as an answer]].
* Martin finds what he thinks was his old soccer trophy... but turns out to be a ceramic model of a soccer ball that happened to win a prize.
* When Milo has to answer the last question of the athledecamathalon, he flashes back to all the times he ''could'' have found out the answer but, due to unfortunate coincidences, didn't. Then Melissa reminds him that she'd already mentioned the answer to him minutes ago.
* When Chad tells the gang that Mr. Drako might be a vampire cause they have never seen his reflection, Melissa retorts by telling Chad they've also never seen his reflection to which Chad thinks he's a vampire and runs off screaming only to walk carefully around a ray of sunlight and continues to run and scream.
* Milo forgets his body armor, so his parents bring it to school for him. When they hand it off to Principal Milder, she promptly collapses under its weight and gets trapped beneath it.
* Milo nonchalantly describing the cataclysm that tears the Acadecamathalon field apart.
* The Middleton Middlemen's mascot is Murray the Middleman, [[MundaneMadeAwesome who buys products from wholesalers and then sells them to retailers at a hefty profit.]]
* After the Geckos accidentally destroy his car during the javelin event, Mr. Drako gives them a negative point.
* Scott the Undergrounder's cameo.
--> '''Scott:''' I have returned to the above world to witness this competition! ''(normal voice)'' But I must admit, I was expecting two separate events; one scholastic, one athletic.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Substitute]]
* When Milo is feeling sorry for the substitute:
-->'''Milo:''' Maybe if I...
-->'''Melissa:''' Careful, Milo! [[NoodleIncident Remember the last time you 'maybe if I'd'? They had to call in the National Guard.]]
-->'''Milo:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I know! I got to hold a grenade launcher!]]
** The fact that someone let ''[[WalkingDisasterArea Mi]][[WeirdnessMagnet lo]]'' hold a grenade launcher.
* Zack listing the types of substitute teachers.
* Milo doing an action hero-esque impression while fighting the blob monster.
* When Ms. Baxter returns from being sucked into space, Zack points out (after some hesitation) that her hair is messed up. Melissa snarks about the fact that ''that'' was what stood out to him given the situation.
* When Vinnie sees that Milo's class is using a zoetrope, he initially assumes it's the 1800s (though he quickly realizes that it's probably a public school on the basis that there are also fluorescent lights).
* Cavendish and Dakota attempt to sneak into the classroom... hiding behind a chalkboard on (very squeaky) wheels. Everyone just stares at them as they creep over to the outlet, then Ms. Baxter resumes teaching.... and then Dakota and Cavendish sneak ''back into'' the closet.
* The fact that the blob resulting from the chemical spill is sentient leads to some hilarity, including it trying to get Ms. Baxter's attention and knocking on the door of the storage shed.
** The blob also does [[PokeThePoodle such bad things]] as texting in class or winding Joni's ponytail in the pencil sharpener.
* Milo wearing glasses that show "kind eyes".
* Ms. Baxter gets her first taste of Murphy's Law.
-->'''Melissa:''' Yeah, strange things happen around Milo.\\
'''Chad:''' ''[rising from behind Melissa]'' ''Spooky'' things! ''Otherworldly'' things!\\
'''Melissa:''' (''as Milo uses a fire extinguisher'') Chad, what have I told you about rising up from under my desk?\\
'''Chad:''' Not to do it?
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Time Out]]
* Apparently, Zack came home drenched in pterodactyl blood. [[NoodleIncident No explanation is ever given.]]
* Zack's Dad has a bit of an AgentScully attitude towards the idea of Murphy's Law. It doesn't last long.
* [[CasanovaWannabe Vinnie attempts to make his move on Savannah]] only to get knockout gas to the face. [[TooKinkyToTorture It only makes him like her more.]]
* Cavendish complains that Brick and Savannah get all the good stuff:
-->'''Cavendish:''' "Where's my limo? Where's my fish tank? Where's my attractive partner?"
-->'''Dakota:''' [[ImStandingRightHere "Hey, I'm sitting right here..."]]
* Cavendish has decided that Milo is a counteragent sent to undermine his and Dakota's mission.
-->'''Cavendish:''' Just look at him over there, plotting our demise.
-->''(Cut to Milo enjoying fast food with Zack and their respective dads in happy oblivion)''
-->'''Milo:''' [[DescriptionCut I sure love cheese fries!]]
-->''(Cut back to Cavendish and Dakota)''
-->'''Cavendish:''' Oh, this is not over, Milo Murphy. Not by a longshot.
-->''(Cut back to Milo)''
-->'''Milo:''' [[CaptainObvious They're fries with cheese!]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:We're Going to the Zoo]]
* Vinnie's password to contact Mr. Block is... "password". Apparently, it's his mother's maiden name backwards.
* ''"We're going to the zoo! We're going to the zoo! And then we're gonna see some animals!"'' Sung multiple times by Dakota, as well as a chase-scene version.
** When Cavendish uses Dakota's binoculars... while still wrapped around his neck, he changes it to ''"Stangled at the zoo. Strangled at the zoo."''
** And the final instance during the episode also has him dance with pistachios in his pants. [[SquirrelsInMyPants Which happens to attract some squirrels.]]
--->'''Dakota:''' [[CallBack There's squirrels in my pants!]] [[AwesomeMusic/PhineasAndFerb There are squirrels in my pants!]] And pistachios. Obviously, there are pistachios, which probably attracted the squirrels.
* Mr. Drako takes a liking to a black cape ([[DontExplainTheJoke which makes him resemble a vampire even more]]), claiming that it makes him look like "a superhero who is evil".
* While chasing the runaway t-shirt cart, Zack exclaims, "I'm not used to running after things. I'm used to things running after us!" Sure enough, the cart soon ends up on a hill and starts to reverse direction...
* Sara wonders why Milo's [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb platypus pajamas]] are [[ArtisticLicenseBiology teal rather than brown]], and Milo suggests that [[SelfDeprecation "it's someone's idea of artsy"]].
* Melissa isn't able to help the gang because she was studying. Or, to be more specific, sitting in a wading pool. Later there's a brief cut to her again and Diogee's in the pool with her.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:School Dance]]
* When Dakota and Cavendish call Mr. Block, the pre-recorded message says, "Your time is not terribly important to us."
* The entire 'Vampire Hunters' subplot.
-->'''Zack:''' We could tell Principle Milder that vampire hunters have--never mind, [[CassandraTruth I'm hearing it as I'm saying it.]]
** This exchange while the students are discussing the "vampire hunters":
--->'''Zack:''' If [Mr. Drako] is really a vampire, those wooden stakes will kill him!\\
'''Melissa:''' But if he's ''not'' a vampire, ''[[DeadpanSnarker those wooden stakes will kill him]]''!
** Later, when they confront Cavendish and Dakota:
--->'''Melissa:''' We know what you're up to!\\
'''Dakota:''' Really? Because I barely know.
* When Dakota and Cavendish arrive at the dance:
-->'''Dakota:''' So, you think this kid is doing some undercover agent stuff at a middle school dance? Is that your theory?\\
'''Cavendish:''' What better cover is there? [[IResembleThatRemark No one but an idiot would suspect it.]]\\
'''Dakota:''' ...I didn't say it.
* Zack pretending that the punch is blood just to mess with Chad.
* Furthering Mr. Drako's AmbiguouslyHuman situation:
-->'''Mr. Drako:''' My house gets so little natural light, it's like a dark box that I sleep in.
* When Dakota asks what movie Mr. Block went back in time to see, he replies with "None of Your Business part 2, the Shut Uppening!"
* To make sure the dance goes smoothly, Amanda urges Milo to keep away from anything that can "fall to pieces."
--> '''Melissa:''' ''(sees a mini iceberg about to hit the punch bowl)'' You mean like you'll be doing in 3...2...
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Battle of the Bands]]
* The Lumbermax have marketed a line of singing tools (for entertainment purposes only; not for actual sawing).
** Milo has somehow procured the singing saw and [[ReadTheFinePrint is using it for actual sawing]].
* When Zack starts losing it:
-->'''Zack:''' "No back talk! We can replace you with a drum machine!"
-->'''Melissa:''' "I play bass."
-->'''Zack:''' "Then we'll replace Mort with a drum machine and ''he'' can play bass!"
* Scott and the Undergrounders, whose song is just Scott saying, "He shall be our leader."
* Zack's [[UnreliableNarrator overly dramatic narration]] of his time as a member of the Lumberzacks, claiming that they "partied nonstop" while the flashback shows them attending an eleventh birthday party, that "a girl came between them" while the flashback shows that a girl literally cut into line between them while they were at a store, and that the others were devastated when he left while the flashback shows that they were completely indifferent.
* Mort's underwhelming stage dive.
* There's a theory that "Saw Away At My Heart" just being "Chop Away At My Heart" with "chop" changed to "saw" is a humorous TakeThat at how all boy bands tend to sound very alike, which, if true, makes the whole thing ''funnier.''
* The introduction of the judges. There's the music teacher from the school (makes sense), the owner of the store they're using the parking lot of (okay), and ... Music/{{Slash}} ([[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers umm...]]).
* [[DeadpanSnarker Melissa's reaction]] to learning the Lumberzacks have changed their name to the Lumbermax:
-->'''Melissa:''' "Well, now ''all'' the good band names are taken."
* After the judges give their scores, Slash's isn't a number but instead reads "play some metal."
* The dance number that goes with "Saw Away at my Heart" is exactly the same as the dance number for "Chop Away at my Heart" which means that, despite the word "chop" being replaced with "saw," the Lumbermaxes still make chopping motions during the chorus.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Math Book]]
* While in a creepily abandoned corridor, Zack points out that Milo has a bunch of big spiders on him. Milo says that they're just old Halloween decorations... but nonchalantly states that the ''huge'' pile of spiders on Zack and Melissa are real.
* Milo brings out the (very loud) generator in his backpack, meaning that we hear him begin [[NoodleIncident a story with being trapped in an Aztec Temple and end it by revealing that the Mona Lisa in the Louvre is a copy painted by his cousin Regie]].
* Melissa playing up their objective to retrieve her math book as a "quest", and Zack constantly [[DeadpanSnarker putting a damper on things]].
** Her almost mythic status of the "Key Keeper" (otherwise known as Fred the janitor)
-->'''Melissa:''' Some say, he doesn't exist.\\
'''Zack:''' You just said he's the janitor.\\
''' Melissa:''' Some say, I said he's the janitor.
* Principal Milder's "I once knew a child" stories, all of which she either doesn't have a punchline for or we never get to hear it.
* Milo and his friends come across miniature models of pyramids and Stonehenge. Milo regards them with awe, but they crumble as soon as he touches them, leading Melissa to dismiss them with "Well, nothing lasts forever."
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Little Engine That Couldn't]]
* The various emergency features on the antique fire engine, including a rocket that explodes into puffs of smoke spelling out "help", a line of marionettes... for some reason, and a cage that releases a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinel_species canary]].
* The cat that looks like Cavendish apparently mocks him when he denies their resemblance.
* Mr. Chase narrating all his actions while driving.
* Near the end, the firetruck goes through the National History of Science museum, where it crashes into the frozen ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' from ''Phineas and Ferb'', where it conveniently lands near the Firetruck museum, looking like the Chases' firetruck fighting the ''T.rex''.
* This exchange:
-->'''Mr. Chase''': You're like...whatever the opposite of a rabbit's foot is!\\
'''Milo:''' [[SeinfeldianConversation A rabbit's]] ''[[SeinfeldianConversation head?]]''\\
'''Melissa:''' A ''fox's'' foot?\\
'''Milo:''' [[CloudCuckoolander A pound]] [[NonSequitur of sugar?]]\\
'''Mr. Chase:''' No, you're just-- ''(grunts angrily)''\\
'''Melissa:''' Dad! It's just Murphy's Law, he can't help it! Besides, he just...[[DelayedReaction a pound of sugar? Really?]]\\
'''Milo:''' I was just riffing.
* "This chassis was not built for jet propulsion." - that line, and the way Mr. Chase says is gold.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Llama Incident]]
* There is a grayed out flashback relating to the times when Milo and Melissa brought up the llama incident... including some instances that never actually happened (or at least [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome that happened out of view]] [[NoodleIncident of the audience]]). As well as Milo in a can-can line, Melissa with Mexican food, and a few others that sound out 'Llama Incident', and for some reason, the two of them standing before Zack tied to a llama statue in a pagan ritual. The end of the flashback is to the start of the episode, a few minutes prior, which is what prompted the flashback in the first place. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEEfAV8jKzg As can be seen here]].
* When Milo explains the Llama Incident started at the turn of the century, he has to tell Zack he means the year 2000 instead of 1900.
* Edmond Garner says he inherited a llama farm without the farm.
* Apparently there's an entire theatre district that features llamas performing.
* The way the flashback is told is quite hilarious, with Zack constantly having to prompt Milo for more detail.
** At one point, Zack starts freaking out that a woodpecker is tapping on the tree they're dangling from, fearing it will dislodge the branch. Milo calmly states that it will take a while for that to happen, and would Zack rather spend that time panicking or hearing the rest of the story? Zack considers it, then asks Milo to continue.
* Why does Milo speak Spanish? [[MundaneSolution He actually took a Spanish class.]] Why does Diogee understand Spanish, though? He was also in that class.
* At the end of the llama incident, Milo tells Melissa to jump, but it's the llamas[[note]]and Diogee[[/note]] that respond. Milo admits that his wording was ambiguous.
* At the end of the episode, Milo and his friends finally fall off the cliff, and we see three objects hit the ground with [[BlackComedy red splatter]]. Turns out Mort had gotten a job transporting "red paint in flesh-colored bags" and had accidentally dropped them, while Milo and the others had managed to survive after another convoluted adventure that we only get glimpses of.
** As for how they got down... it's what they dub [[NoodleIncident The Woodpecker Incident]]. Complete with increasingly nonsensical pictures such as the one above.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Missing Milo]]
* The episode starts with Milo, Zack and Melissa racing down a street while being followed by a runaway truck carrying molten lava, which flips over leaving a flood of lava on the road. Milo is riding a bike with only the front tire, Zack is on a pair of skis, and Melissa is riding an ice block pulled by a bunch of chinchillas ("You have too many chinchillas." "There's no such thing."). And this happened after they left the convenience store to buy snacks and we never learn how they ended up like that.
* King Pistachion is quite LaughablyEvil throughout.
** During his first proper introduction in the episode, he is shown taking a group selfie with his army, and even telling them that they will do both a "real version" and a "crazy version" of the photo.
** When his army introduces themselves to Melissa, Zack, and Sara, he tells the humans not to be [[FauxAffablyEvil fooled by their congenial manner]]. "One of them ate a Congressman."
** Being mad when his son Jerry steals his villainous line "yup see, moment's gone, you ruined it!"
* Brick and Savannah flirt for a few seconds before realizing they don't really have any chemistry between them and just decide to stay as partners.
* Scott the Undergrounder shows up in the sewers, to save Melissa and Zack from Brick and Savannah with a series of booby traps, culminating in a path with a huge sign that shows where there is [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial definitely NOT a trap door]]. The time agents try to swing across before [[BaitAndSwitch the sign squashes them flat]] [[DoubleSubversion and slides them into the trap door]]. Then this happens:
-->'''Scott''': Come to me, my chickens!\\
''*rats pour out of holes in the pit*''\\
'''Savannah''': Those aren't chickens.\\
'''Brick''': And that's not a rooster!\\
''*points to emerging wolf*''
* At different points in the episode, Melissa and Zack each wonder [[TimmyInAWell how the other apparently manages to understand Diogee solely from his barking and howling.]]
* The OverlyLongGag in which Cavendish and Dakota talk in circles as they try to figure out [[StableTimeLoop where the peach came from]].
-->'''Cavendish:''' Wait a moment, where did you get that peach?\\
'''Dakota:''' Someone threw it at you earlier.\\
'''Cavendish:''' But that someone was ''me!''\\
'''Dakota:''' I know.\\
'''Cavendish:''' But where did ''I'' get it?\\
'''Dakota:''' From me!\\
'''Cavendish:''' Yes, but where did ''you'' get it?\\
'''Dakota:''' Someone threw it at you earlier.\\
'''Cavendish:''' But that someone was ''me!''\\
'''Dakota:''' I know.\\
'''Cavendish:''' But where did ''I'' get it?\\
'''Dakota:''' From ''me!''\\
'''Cavendish:''' Yes, but where did ''you'' get it?\\
'''Dakota:''' Someone threw it at you earlier!\\
'''Cavendish:''' ''BUT THAT SOME--''\\
''[SmashCut]''
* Melissa has a room in her basement filled with pictures and such of Milo. When Zack asks if she has one of him, she laughs and walks away.
** And her reasons for continuing to study Murphy's Law after she's decided not to try to cure it: "I could rein it in, or explain it, or monetize it..."
* Diogee's middle name is "[[DeusExMachina Ex Machina]]".
* The creator of the Dr. Zone Files moved to town, and apparently Sara's been staring at his house.
-->'''Melissa''': The creator of your favorite show of all time lives across town from you? And this is the first time you've ever been here?\\
'''Sara''': Yeah... Today... I usually just stare from behind that tree.
* Melissa, Zack, and Sara meeting Orton Mahlson for the first time.
-->'''Zack''': Whoa! You look like a really old Doctor Zone.\\
'''Orton''': [[SarcasmMode Yeah. That was]] ''[[SarcasmMode totally]]'' [[SarcasmMode worth opening the door for; thanks, kid]].\\
'''Zack''': Sorry. I mean- I didn't know you were the show's creator ''and'' the star.\\
'''Melissa''': Sara, you knew this?\\
'''Sara''': Of course! Who doesn't know that?\\
'''Sara and Orton''': Newbies!
* Dakota wonders why the time stream is filled with clocks. Later in the episode, it transpires that ''he'' was the one who ended up tossing them into the time stream. Cavendish is not surprised at this revelation.
** Dakota's sheer level of delight when he realizes he did it.
--->'''Dakota:''' It was me. ''I'' was the joker.\\
'''Cavendish''': [[DeadpanSnarker Shocking]].
* Milo greets his backpack before he greets Sara when he reunites with them, much to Sara's dismay.
* Milo's [[{{Adorkable}} flustered embarrassment]] when the time limo takes an inadvertent detour through the girls' bathroom.
* Diogee defeats King Pistachion by [[CrossesTheLineTwice peeing on his sapling.]]
* When Milo sees himself in the lost episode of Dr. Zone that took place in 1965:
-->'''Milo''': Wow.\\
'''Zack''': Right?\\
'''Milo''': [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I am]] ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint not]]'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint a very good actor]].\\
'''Zack''': Riiiiight.
* After everything is resolved, Dakota & Cavendish give Brick & Savannah back their limo, which they borrowed, and was ripped apart by the Pistachions. Brick just keeps clicking the car alarm and Savannah replies [[SarcasmMode "Yeah, just keep clicking the button, that'll help"]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Star Struck]]
* An entire action movie franchise is centered on krill hunting.
* Zack and Melissa teasing Milo about his hat.
--> '''Milo:''' [Tobias's] movies taught me that when something's in your way, it's not a problem, it's a challenge. \\
'''Zack:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Like that hat?]] *high fives Melissa*
* The trailer for latest Krill Hunter movie shows why people think Tobias is washed up, as it seems like the worst action movie ever.
--> '''Man:''' Give up Krill Hunter, they're everywhere! \\

* FreezeFrameBonus shots of the various studios behind the ''Krillhunter'' franchise. Highlights include Trope Media and Hard to Watch Films.
* A misfired harpoon apparently hits one of the stunt-krill on the movie set, but the krill are so small that it's hard for the krill handler to verify.
* Tobias's ImagineSpot in which he sees not only Milo (who he has mistaken for a goblin) but also his film director, as well as Dakota and Cavendish, as pursuing monsters.
* [[BlackComedy Milly and the Menninkainen]]
* The remote-controlled car race, in which the participants quickly lose sight of their cars and are left standing around idly pushing levers on their controllers.
* One of the ways Milo and his friends try to sneak past Elliot is seemingly having Zack feign illness, only for "Zack" to reveal that he was Mort standing in as a stunt double the whole time.
* Milo decides to skip to "plan H" when trying to get past Elliot, because he'd already run plans C-G through his head and decided they wouldn't work.
* Elliot faking some gear to look like a security guard, including using a bar of soap as a walkie-talkie... which somehow works.
** A bar of soap in a random guy's shower picks up Elliot.
-->'''Man:''' Lorraine! My-my soap is talking to me!
-->'''Woman's voice offscreen:''' Just ignore it, Barney!
* The cameraman messing with the director by saying that he didn't get the chase scene "on film" or "on tape", because [[ExactWords cameras don't use film or tape anymore]].

* Apparently, Milo's presence once caused a ''submarine'' to surface in Principal Milder's office. They somehow mistook it for the North Pole.
* Elliot claiming to be like a "predicate following his subject" while spying on Milo. He later brings it up to Bradley, saying that no one had been there to hear his earlier joke.

[[folder:A Clockwork Origin]]
* During Victor's introduction, famous minds in history (such as Newton) are mentioned and holograms of their likenesses are projected. However, Einstein is portrayed as a blank face with "no photo available".
* A man talking on his phone makes baaing sounds, as though living up to Victor's accusation that the general public are sheep, but he'd apparently been trying to tell whoever was on the other end that his phone had a bad connection.
* Zack disguises himself to walk through a lumberjack convention, wary of being revealed as the lead singer of the Lumberzacks. Midway through, in apparent frustration at being unrecognized, he removes his disguise and dramatically announces his identity. Nobody knows who he is.
** Well, except for a security guard.
-->''' Security guard:''' Huh, Zack from the Lumberzacks, right here in my security booth.
* When Victor's company is demolished, an onlooker groans about how he'd left his lunch in the building.

[[folder:Perchance To Sleepwalk]]
* Milo, Melissa, and Zack go camping in the wild together. While pitching their tents, Zack comments about how much a recipe for disaster it is, and Melissa points out that [[TemptingFate nothing wrong has happened yet.]] Cue a band of roving squirrels ripping Zack and Milo's tent to shreds. Even better, Melissa tries to argue that it isn't technically ''[[ExactWords wrong,]]'' since they're wild animals in their natural habitat, [[NoodleIncident to which Milo mentions a wolverine once getting into his oven.]]
* Melissa's tent is a pink castle, complete with drawbridge and flags with her initial on them.
* Milo's collapsed tent spontaneously catching fire. Milo cheerfully comments that they have a campfire now.
* Cavendish and Dakota doing a SillyWalk. Yes, even the normally uptight Cavendish.
* Milo saying goodnight to Diogee despite Diogee not being visible at the time, correctly guessing that he'd followed them into the woods.
* That night, Milo sleepwalks out of the tent and goes on a stroll, and since Zack believes that they should NeverWakeUpASleepwalker he and Melissa have to go after him. As befitting the gag, what follows is a montage of Milo obliviously wandering safely through crazier and crazier situations, while Zack and Melissa go through increasingly over-the-top AmusingInjuries trying to keep him out of trouble.
** First off, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryAQQWNU8zo the song]], which is a cheerful, little diddy playing as Melissa and Zack endure forces of nature plus Murphy's Law. And also, the song [[LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn is actually being played by a family of campers.]] When the gang passes them by Zack starts dancing along, only for Melissa to drag him away.
** At one point during the chase, a frog lands on Zack's head [[ComicalOverreacting and he freaks out,]] while in the background we can see Melissa randomly being chased by an enormous swarm of bats.
** They all end up [[ItMakesSenseInContext tobogganing down a cliff on top of tree bark and flying off another cliff like a ski jump.]] Milo, of course, lands softly on his feet and keeps on sleepwalking. Zack and Melissa slam into a tree and fall into a bush, at which point their toboggan lands directly on top of them for good measure.
** Finally, it all ends when Milo... [[AntiClimax bumps into a tree.]] Even Melissa and Zack look annoyed about it.
* Cavendish and Dakota have decided to avoid saving pistachios from now on, to prevent them from taking over the world again. Naturally, {{Irony}} kicks in when - despite spending the whole day ditching work - they accidentally ''[[SpringtimeForHitler save]]'' [[SpringtimeForHitler the pistachios]] anyway. Then of course, [[CantGetAwayWithNothing by sheer coincidence]], they get caught trying to destroy them.
* When Dakota and Cavendish start destroying the pistachio plants, over-the-top music starts playing before the scene cuts to them straining to chop down a single tree. The crows even look at them unimpressed.
* Dakota singing "Chop Away at My Heart", and trying to get Cavendish to join in.
* The flock of crows Cavendish and Dakota were supposed to keep from eating a pistachio field change course [[ItMakesSenseInContext when they smell Dakota's limburger sandwich,]] which leads to them getting swarmed by an dozens and dozens of birds. Cavendish notes that [[{{Homage}} it reminds him]] [[Film/{{TheBirds}} of an old horror movie.]] [[TheDitz Dakota]] guesses [[MarsNeedsWomen "Neptune Needs Women."]]
* Brick and Savannah expose Cavendish and Dakota's plot to destroy all the pistachio plants, causing them to be fired from their assignment and instead reassigned to cleaning out old houses. [[LaserGuidedKarma Three guesses who gets their old job]] [[UpToEleven (and are also chased]] [[BearsAreBadNews by a bear).]]
* The last lines of the episode.

[[folder:Some Like It Yacht]]
* Milo's great-great-grandfather once had a ship that was lost... as in it literally disappeared one day, not that it sank.
* An ice cream cone seems like it's about to hit the yacht's control panel, complete with slow motion... but falls short. The ''real'' DisasterDominoes sequence begins when a pelican flies into the yacht.
* The yacht is for some reason fitted with a cannon, rockets, and even a hoop for an orca to jump through.
* The pelican pulling a ScrewThisImOuttaHere when the yacht is about to crash into an island.
* The sight of Melissa as if she's freaking out when she's startled by Mr. Drako.

-->'''Milo:''' Heads?

* The CargoShip of Bradley and Carla, a self-serve ice cream machine.
* The entirety of the school faculty, with the exception of Drako, [[SanitySlippage immediately losing sanity and going native]] when the group is trapped on a deserted island.
** Melissa's response:
--->'''Melissa:''' Try not to eat each other!
** The fact that Mr. Drako, the teacher who tends to act like a vampire, is the OnlySaneMan among the teachers.
* Drako mentioning that the teachers going feral had apparently happened previously at a teacher convention.
* The fact that everyone was only stranded on the island for 45 minutes.
* After everyone gets shipwrecked:

--> ''' Milo:''' ''(cheerfully)'' She's talking about me.
* When Milo and his friends catch Coach Mitchell and Principal Milder wrestling for supremacy, Milo and Zack stare in confusion, while Melissa takes the time to snap a photograph.

[[folder:World Without Milo]]
* "A World Without Milo" is already a fun song, but it becomes hilarious when you realize that it's a parody of [[Music/TheTurtles "So Happy Together"]], a song about the exact opposite situation Elliot is singing about.
* Elliot hiring Bradley as a ReplacementGoldfish for Milo, even providing him with a script to follow. The script involves Bradley dropping some marbles, which Elliot proceeds to vacuum up. It takes a long time for him to get the final marble into the vacuum, eventually deciding to just drop it in manually. The marble then falls out and rolls into a drain.
* As Cavendish & Dakota are leaving to fix things and restore Milo, the talking squirrel asks them what they're doing for lunch. After Dakota explains they're going to fix things before lunch, the squirrel replies, more annoyed than anything "Aw, then I won't exist."

* To help Sara determine whether she'd been asked on a date, Brigette asks her what type of tone Neal had used while inviting Sara to lunch. The problem is that Neal had done so by text using only a lunchbox emoji and a question mark, making it impossible to tell.
* Milo's list of everything that can possibly go wrong with snow, and the fact that he'd included even the most outlandish situations that they end up encountering.
* Milo and his friends flinch when they see a trio of wolves charging at them, only to realize that the wolves are actually fleeing from an avalanche. They then get stuck behind the wolves while trying to ski away from the avalanche.
-->'''Zack''': Get out of the way, you stupid wolves!
* Sara's [[GoodAngelBadAngel cosplaying shoulder angels]] debating whether she's on a date or not.
** Later, they actually start fighting about it.
* Martin finding free samples of oil and natural gas in a ''Fossil Fuels Monthly'' magazine. He absentmindedly tosses them away. [[OhCrap Into the fireplace at the ski lodge.]]
* Martin saying he and Milo have been skiing dozens of times and snow is soft and melts "unlike concrete, which is the worst invention in the history of mankind."
* After Sara and Neal get dragged along on Milo and Co's toboggan ride, Milo starts singing that episode's song: a toboggan based parody of Phineas and Ferb's Boat of Romance.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Island of Lost Dakotas]]
* Milo saying that the story of [[CallBack his previous encounter with Hamosaur]] would take "[[LeaningOnTheFourthWall about 11 minutes]]" to tell.
* Milo mentions (and later demonstrates) that his past experiences with shoelaces explain why [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe_tossing shoes are sometimes seen hanging from telephone wires]].
* Though it can also be seen as sad or horrifying, the reveal that Cavendish keeps dying repeatedly and the montage of his deaths are quite the BlackComedyBurst.
* The mayor's reaction to Milo's latest disaster:
-->'''Mayor:''' "Hi, folks. Welcome to the Fifth Street re-dedication ceremony. We all remember [[Recap/MiloMurphysLawS1E21TheLittleEngineThatCouldnt the events of the runaway antique firetruck and the damage it caused here.]] But as your mayor I'm proud to say we're back! Businesses are open, and..." ([[OhCrap Notices the crowd looking at something behind him]]) "...There's something behind me? One of the Murphys? Murphys, yep. Out of control water truck? Giant boulder? No, no..." (looks) "Oh, yeah! Giant dinosaur-like creature of some kind! Yeah, oh, that's nice!" (Hamosaur rips through the ceremony) "Yeah, yeah, get that mailbox! Yep. [[SarcasmMode I love being mayor here. I love it!]]" (beat) "[[SuddenlyShouting I LOVE IT!]]" (throws mike on the ground)
* Despite everything they've been through as [[WeirdnessMagnet Milo's]] friends, the mess with Milo's most recent escapade with shoelaces is something Melissa and Zack were completely unprepared for.
--> '''Melissa:''' This seems like a lot of shoelace for only two sneakers!
--> '''Zack:''' There are no applicable physics for this!
* After Dakota explains the premise to the old lady on the bus, he bids her farewell:
-->'''Old Lady:''' "Good luck on your island, Dakota!"
-->'''Dakota:''' "Thanks, Frances, and don't worry about your grandson; I'm sure it's just a phase."
-->'''Old Lady:''' (casually) "Naw, he's a bad seed."
* The captain of the ship Dakota is travelling on goes on a rant about how he doesn't have to look like the stereotype of the rugged old sailor([[StereotypeFlip he's blond, slender, clean-shaven and wears a pink shirt]])to be an effective captain...and then [[HypocriticalHumor a parrot lands on his shoulder]].
---> '''Captain:''' That's OK, Gary, we won't let that judgemental man ruin a perfectly good Wednesday.
** He remains offended apparently through the entire trip, even as he sees Dakota off on a rowboat, STILL talking to the Parrot like it's the offended one.
---> '''Captain:''' No, Gary, let the judgmental man row off to his doom. Rise above it, Gary.
* The other Dakotas greet the new Dakota by kidnapping him and ominously chanting "[[CallBack We're Going to the Zoo]]." They quickly apologize, stating that they don't get a lot of ways to entertain themselves.
* One of the Dakotas is called [[NakedPeopleAreFunny Birthday Suit Dakota.]]
--> '''Birthday Suit Dakota:''' ''(offscreen)'' It's my birthday!
--> '''Dakota 2:''' Put on some pants!

* At the beginning, after Dakota brags about saving the three from the falling balloon, Cavendish makes him admit that he actually saved them by accident while trying to get mustard off the steering wheel.
* When the trio shows Cavendish and Dakota the lost episode of Dr. Zone from 1965 that Milo appeared in:
-->'''Cavendish''': Amazing! [[ContinuityNod You're really quite an awful actor]].\\
'''Milo''': I really am!
* When Dakota said they're going back to TheSixties, the scene cuts to Dakota [[Series/RowanAndMartinsLaughIn dancing in a speedo and with body paint of phrases on him, ending with a close up of one of the phrases]]. When we cut back to Milo and everyone, the trio is freaked out while Cavendish is confused.
-->'''Cavendish''': What was that?\\
'''Dakota''': Never mind, let's just get in the car.
* Milo's overzealous attempt at [[GoodCopBadCop "Bad Cop."]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes Turns out he's packing heat in the form of an electric cattle prod]].
-->'''Dakota:''' And what are you, Dangerously Unstable Cop?
* ''[[MostDefinitelyNotAVillain Windooooowless vaaaaaaan!]]''
* When confronting Derek, Dakota claims that the odds are in the heroes' favor because they outnumber the pistachion, even if Milo is just a kid, Orton is tied up, and [[NonActionGuy Cavendish is Cavendish]]. Derek then reveals that there are actually many other pistachions present, causing Dakota to reconsider. Unlike how such a situation would normally play out, however, Derek proceeds to continue explaining his plan instead of immediately going after the heroes, allowing them to escape. When Derek questions the other pistachions on why they didn't stop the protagonists, one of them answers that they hadn't wanted to interrupt his monologue.
** Derek explaining why it took him ten years to think of a foolproof plan on overthrowing the human race:
--->'''Derek''': Well, the first seven years were brainstorming, and you know, I had to find an apartment, and I did take one summer off to do some modeling. Yes, I was young and foolish, but I regret nothing! Then over the last six months, I have really buckled down, and now I have a foolproof plan!
* Milo declares that ItsPersonal when he sees [[FelonyMisdemeanor how the pistachions have modified Lard World]], despite having seen them kidnap his sister just shortly before.
* Speaking of Milo's love for Lard World:
--> '''Milo:''' Hey! It's Lardee Boy! Official mascot of Lard World, beloved by children everywhere!\\
'''Dakota:''' What are you, his agent?
* The setup for Season 2's crossover with ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': Milo, Diogee, Dakota, Cavendish and Orton Mahlson, entering a very familiar apartment building in search of the inventor of time travel, promptly get caught in a trap that Doofenshmirtz set for the pizza guy.
* Milo: "It's Tobias Trollhammer. He's so young, and unconscious."

[[folder:Milo's Halloween Scream-a-Torium!]]
* The gargoyle narrating the episode, especially when he interrupts Milo's explanation of "Veggiefest".
-->"This episode is ''not'' about Veggiefest."
* Diogee's costume is [[StockYuck broccoli]].
* Dakota shows Cavendish the research he did on Halloween, which consists of what appears to be a low budget SlasherMovie.
--> '''Dakota:''' Well according to my research, we sneak up on teenagers wearing a hockey mask.
* Elliot decides to chase after the runaway truck... cue several cutaways to him slowly riding after it on his bike.
* Dakota dressing up as "the Industrial Revolution" ([[VisualPun wearing a hat with a rotating wrench on top]]).
* [[ManChild Dakota]] and [[NotSoAboveItAll Cavendish's]] sheer enthusiasm for trick-or-treating. They go from not understanding the concept to (after it's explained to them) hustling on a grand scale by switching disguises and hitting the same house multiple times. Nobody is the least bit perturbed by the two grown men out collecting candy with the kids.
* Milo casually chatting about actuary statistics while dangling from a truck that is perched precariously on the edge of a cliff.
* Diogee's chestburster impression.
* Cavendish spending 10 minutes listing safe places Dakota could've put the time grenade in.
* The runaway truck smashing through [[OverlyLongGag many]] warehouses, getting coated in their contents along the way. One of them is an empty warehouse, which accordingly does nothing to the truck.
* The fact that the truck has a parachute function.
-->'''Zack''': So there's a parachute button but ''no engine''?\\
'''Milo''': [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Who needs an engine when you're falling?]]
* Despite Zack claiming that he doesn't find Halloween scary anymore, his dad manages to scare him in the end... by dressing up as a [[AbsurdPhobia fish]].
* When the kids are discussing whether they're too old to dress up for Halloween:
-->'''Sara:''' (dressed as Doctor Zone) "Wait, it's Halloween?" (the others stare at her) "I'm just kidding; of course I know it's Halloween. Though I ''do'' wear this intermittently all year."
* Sara is scared by a spring-loaded Dracula, not because it's a vampire, [[BaitAndSwitch but because she thought it was Mr. Drako and she didn't like his shop class.]]
* One kid brags to some others about the Time Grenade, admitting he had no idea what it is or does, but he activated it.
* The lyrics to Dakota's song about Halloween:
-->'''Dakota:''' ''We're going door to door, just asking for candy. On any other night it would be panhandling.''

[[folder:A Christmas Peril]]
* Old Cavendish gets scolded by a security robot for having a {{flashback}} in public, and is directed to a waiting area for "Old Men With Unfinished Business". And then all the other guys in the waiting area bum a ride off him in his time machine.
* One of Old Dakota's fans reads him like a map when he starts to miss working with Cavendish.
-->'''Fan:''' Are you alright? It's like [[StepfordSmiler the warm facade of your affluent life]] [[LonelyAtTheTop just dropped away to reveal hidden discontent and pain]]. [[BrutalHonesty It's just what I see]].
* No matter what disasters befall him, Nate Murphy [[ImplausibleDeniability insists the family curse skipped a generation with him]].
* Old Cavendish's idea to stop the argument over the last eggroll? Eat it himself. Old Dakota's idea to stop the argument? Sic an angry ''Velociraptor'' on the buffet table. A ''Velociraptor'' that ends up attacking Cavendish instead.
* When the old versions of Cavendish and Dakota team up, they don't have any more luck interrupting the argument, even as they unleash giant robots, a whole pack of ''Velociraptors'', tentacled aliens in Santa costumes, and a pirate ship on the party.

[[folder:Going the Extra Milo]]
* Our introduction to Milo and his bad luck. As he's introducing himself to Zack, he mentions he's been called "the J word" a few times. After that, a heavy-duty bungee lands a few feet away from them, followed by a concrete pipe rolling towards the two. Fortunately, Milo manages to use the bungee to propel them to safety. They start walking on the said concrete pipe and land in a pool of mud. Milo casually tells Zack to scoot over so the pipe doesn't crush them. Zack's response to everything that just happened?
-->'''Zack''': The J word wouldn't happen to be [[TheJinx Jinx]], would it?
* When Milo and Zack have just begun running:
--->'''Zack''': Wait; why aren't ''you'' screaming!?!\\
'''Milo''': [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror I find it doesn't help.]] Just hurts the larynx.
* Zack is worried he and Milo will be late for school. Milo's phone, which has a GPS, got wet and is not usable. His backup plan, a paper map, gets taken away by a bird.
-->'''Milo:''' Huh. Well, don't worry; I remember the way. This has happened before! ''(runs)''\\
'''Zack:''' ''This'' has happened before? This ''exact thing?''\\
'''Milo:''' We'll beat [the bus] to the next stop. We just have to go through the rock quarry.\\
'''Zack:''' Rock quarry! Sure! WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong
** There was an oil spill.
* Melissa spending the episode betting that Milo and Zack will make it to school safe and winning the whole pot to boot.
* Despite Bradley's loathing of Milo, [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike they both think Vitamin C tablets are a valuable betting currency because it's cold and flu season]].
* During Zack's FreakOut about being in Coyote Woods, assuming it's a MeaningfulName, Milo reassures him it was named after the actor, Creator/PeterCoyote. He donated the land to the city as a [[BaitAndSwitch wolf]] [[WorryingForTheWrongReason preserve]].
-->'''Zack:''' (flatly) You get how that's not better, right?
** SmashCut to a wolf pack chasing them.
* Milo casually informs Zack that wolves rarely ever attack people, and that bees cause many more fatalities per year. The audience almost doesn't need the pan upward to show the beehive in the tree with them.
** One of the wolves ends up with the beehive on its head and continues to chase Milo and Zack. Zack asks what the odds are for people being killed by wolves with beehives on their heads and Milo admits that they'd be the first known cases.
* The construction workers casually saying hi to Milo as he and Zack float through the site.
* Zack asking the aliens if they'll help them get to school. It works.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Undergrounders]]
* When entering the Subway platform, Milo is telling Zack and Melissa that he's interested in paleontology, archaeology, "all the ologies". Melissa replies, not unkindly, "Milo you are an 'ology' unto yourself."
* Zack remarks that it's his first time riding the subway.
-->'''Melissa:''' You've never been on the subway? It's dark and dirty and full of weird smells.\\
'''Milo:''' That was their ad campaign last year.
* When the subway car comes loose:
-->'''Mort:''' So ''that's'' what a runaway train car looks like... to be honest, I'm a little disappointed.
* To distract Zack from the enclosed walls of the loose subway car, Milo tap-dances. This doesn't work, however, so his second plan is to put a bunch of posters from France up, [[ActorAllusion play the accordion]] and wear a beret.
-->'''Zack''': ''Now'' I'm distracted. Have you been carrying that the whole time?
** Then, it's realized that Milo ''[[CrazyPrepared had a key to the subway doors the entire time]]''.
--->'''Zack''': Okay. Next time, key first, tap dancing later.
* The RunningGag with the Undergrounder (named Scott) who constantly declares "X shall be our/my leader."
** At one point, Scott declares Diogee to be their leader. When one of the Undergrounders asks if he's allergic to dogs, Scott drops the crazy act and confirms he is in a normal voice.
** Scott declares Bradley to be his leader near the end. It takes Scott five seconds of chatting with Bradley to back out of the offer. Then, Bradley tries bragging about it.
--->'''Bradley''': He saw something in me.\\
'''Melissa''': Whatever he saw, he also saw it in a dog.\\
'''Zack''': (''Picks up Diogee's ears while imitating Scott's voice'') The floppy-eared one will be our leader!
* Zack tries to distract himself while in the underground city the Undergrounders have built (after a month of being lost no less) by eating some [[ReducedToRatburgers "chicken"]] and muses on what part it might be. Melissa [[DeadpanSnarker snarks]] [[DontExplainTheJoke "The rat part?"]]
* Scott's crazy names such as calling the underground workers 'The Belownies' which sounds like a lunch meat. He also calls their home Subteranis (complete with ''echo''), which one of the workers told Milo and his friends that it was true and they decided just to let him have that.
* One of the Undergrounders tells Milo and co. that they've established a civilization underground, noting that it's amazing what you can accomplish when you're not setting up and moving orange cones.
* At the museum gift shop:
-->'''Bradley:''' [[ShoutOut Mort, do you]] ''[[ShoutOut really]]'' [[ShoutOut need more]] [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse rose quartz?]]\\
'''Mort:''' If you only knew its properties, you wouldn't be asking me that.

[[folder:Sunny Side Up]]
* Mrs. Murawski's [[CargoShip affinity for her desk]] and how disturbing the class clearly finds it.
** Near the end, while she's criticizing the failed projects:
-->'''Mrs. Murawski:''' Think of my desk! I know ''I'' am!
* When Mrs. Murawski informs the class that they'll be operating in teams of three, the rest of the class predictably ducks down, leaving our PowerTrio. Melissa looks back and calls the rest of the class "Cowards".
-->'''Zack''': Any limit on the number of eggs we break while we're building it?\\
'''Mrs. Murawski''': No.\\
'''Zack''': Okay then.
* Bradley tells Melissa she should join his team, "Team Melissa". [[BlatantLies Which he named for a different Melissa.]]
* This exchange:
--> '''Bradley''': You're gonna jeopardize those straight "A"s? You know; eggs can be rather fragile.\\
'''Melissa''': Bring it on. [[BadassBoast I eat eggs for breakfast.]]\\
'''Bradley''': [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Yeah. So do all of us.]]
* Zack brings two bags of eggs, one of which is immediately smashed the moment Milo opens his front door. Cue Melissa arriving on her bike hauling a trailer with hundreds of cartons of eggs. Zack asks her if maybe she's gone a bit overboard. Milo's door immediately falls over, smashing the last of Zack's eggs with a hanging lamp dropping down to overkill it, to which Melissa replies that, no, she doesn't think she's gone overboard. Zack's response? {{Touche}}.
* During the development phase of the egg carrier, one of the eggs hatches. The bird flies away, and is clearly not a chicken.
* Milo sticks an egg in his pocket. Zack notes that this won't end well. [[BrickJoke Except that it ends up as]] [[ChekhovsGun the sole surviving egg for their final test at school.]]
** Meanwhile, Zack tests their latest prototype, [[HopeSpot which seems to work fine]]...then it randomly flies off, [[CallBack hits a passing bird]], and explodes in a mushroom cloud.
* The list of things the egg must survive includes "Zack's butt", "Bad Vibes", and "Acts of Diogee".
** Storyboard artist Ashley Simpson graciously provided the entire list on her Tumblr.

* It took 17:22 hours and 10,132.05 eggs for Milo and the gang to make the perfect container for their egg drop.
** God only knows what the '.05' represents.
* Melissa doesn't want to keep naming their prototypes to avoid attachment.
* Zack and Melissa both have dreams in which they wake up to something awful that happened to "Big Bertha" and their egg, respectively, and then wake up relieved things are okay. Then [[RuleOfThree Milo has a dream]] about [[NothingIsScarier nothing bad happening when he wakes up]], which he notes is "peculiar". Then he wakes up for real to a tree falling through his window and feels just as relieved as his friends.
* Melissa reminds the boys:
-->'''Melissa:''' Oh, and FYI, a tremendous portion of my self-esteem is wrapped up in my grade point average... but, y'know, no pressure.\\
'''Mrs. Murawski:''' [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything You know, I made that pencil you're holding.]]\\
(''Melissa slowly backs away'')
* As their device begins to catapult around town, Milo begins to call out the various obstacles that it's about to encounter/collide with, with Zack confirming in increasingly concerned tones that it should be able to survive.
* After Diogee eats the last egg, Milo starts to say, [[{{Pun}} "Well, I guess the yolk's..."]] only for Melissa to interrupt him and say that [[LamePunReaction she specifically told him not to make any egg puns]].
* A meta example: [[http://pigspeetsandhooflikefeets.tumblr.com/post/151497555514/my-sisters-solution-during-the-egg-episode this Tumblr post]] documents how the poster's sister came up with an unorthodox solution to the episode's main conflict:
-->'''Sister:''' Just have Milo hold the egg.
-->'''Poster:''' Are you implying [[InsaneTrollLogic they should drop Milo off a two-story building holding an egg]]?
-->'''Sister:''' It'd ''probably'' work.

[[folder:Rooting for the Enemy]]
* Bradley having a freak-out when he sees that Milo was sitting next to Melisa at the pep rally.
** Then there's his comment at the football game:
-->'''Bradley:''' Hey, Melissa! You can sit with us if you value your life!
* The "defunded marching band", consisting of five kids in ill-fitting uniforms playing such esoteric instruments as a didgeridoo, a banjo, a thumb piano, a jug, and a ''bucket''.
* The RunningGag of Milo's luck causing a car crash off-screen with [[ThatPoorCat a cat screaming]] and chicken clucking in the background.
* [[NoodleIncident The last football game Milo went to had a llama stampede]].
* The team sending Milo "Thank You" notes for staying away from the games.
* Milo and Melissa's "Not Football" Friday where they used to go bowling but now do things that don't involve dangerously heavy round objects. They tried playing cards, but Melissa got kidnapped by an orangutan (which she still considers safer than going bowling).
* When Mort slips down a hill and falls into a dumpster that promptly rolls into a pond, he blames it on his "blocked chakra" rather than Milo's bad luck.
* As Milo cartwheels out of his bedroom, there's a series of crashes, explosions, and screams. This turns out to be Milo playing a "Sounds of Disaster" CD. Then his boom-box falls apart.
* Diogee preps for the game by shoving his face into a foam finger, which he uses to ring the doorbell when Milo tells him to stay home. He shows up anyway, of course, this time with ''two'' foam fingers that make it impossible to tell which end of him is which.
* The Geckos are so lackluster they can't tear through the banner for their team at the game, and have to cut it with scissors instead.
* Milo and Melissa running into Joni and their principal:
-->'''Milo:''' Hey Joni, want to sit with us?\\
'''Joni:''' Hey, Milo! I just got the cast off from last time.\\
'''Principal Milder:''' Melissa, Milo! Ha, good to see you! ''([[FunnyBackgroundEvent Joni gets hit by a football in the background]])'' I was under the impression you promised Coach Mitchell you would never show up at a game.\\
'''Melissa:''' No, it's okay, 'cause we're gonna lose anyway. The coach said so at the pep rally.\\
'''Principal Milder:''' Did he? ''(AsideGlance)'' I'm gonna have to explain "pep" to that man.
* When the marching band waved 'Hi' to Milo, they all pulled out riot-shields!
* Melissa asks if Milo and his group of supporters are okay after falling into a pit and having a ''goalpost'' land on them. Milo's hand rises from the rubble, giving a thumbs up.
--> '''Milo''': (''Muffled'') I think I broke my thumb.
** Milo is then seen at his own suite in the hospital with a huge cast on that thumb.
* The gecko mascot costume has traits of real geckos, including being able to stick to glass (though the person inside tends to fall out...) and a tail that wriggles on its own after being severed.
* After his team starts winning, the previously pessimistic coach confuses them with his attempts at a new pep talk.
--> '''Coach:''' Okay, Geckos, come on, bring it in. I know I said we were gonna lose this game, but you guys didn't listen to me! And I'm glad! Now, we're only behind by two points! So get out there and continue not listening to me! You understand?
--> '''Gecko #1:''' So, does that mean we shouldn't listen to you starting now, or before when you told us not to listen to you?
--> '''Gecko #2:''' Yeah, because I wasn't really listening to you just now.
--> '''Coach:''' Would you just, just, just — I don't even exist! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go, Geckos!
* During the "Rooting for the Enemy" song, when Milo is dancing in the bleachers full of Tiger fans, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent you can see a dad covering his son's eyes]].
* For some reason French food is served at the game... including one guy serving crème brulee who accidentally sets a goal post and the scoreboard on fire.
--> '''Milo:''' Wow. French food at a football game?\\
'''Melissa:''' Last year they tried German sausages, but [[FunWithHomophones they were the wurst]]. ''({{Rimshot}} plays)''\\
'''Band Drummer:''' [[LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn Check it out, I found a snare drum.]]
* The coach seeing that the team won and he thinks it's all a dream. He runs off seeing if he could fly, only to fall flat on his face as soon as he jumped.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Doctor Zone Files]]
* The Doctor Zone Files have a lovely degree of StylisticSuck. For example, when the Time Vehicle lifts off, you can see the shadow on the matte painting in the background. And that it's dangling on a piece of string.
* Doctor Zone repeatedly trying to push the button with his present hand. ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext.
-->'''Doctor Zone''': The present is preventing me from getting to the future!
* Melissa and Zack on the Murphy couch, clearly zonked and in their PJs, having just endured an all-night marathon of The Doctor Zone Files, are both excited and confused about the new Doctor Zone movie. [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs They're exfused/concited.]]
--> '''Zack''': My hand is asleep. I envy it.
* When Milo tells Melissa and Zack about Dr. Zone's incarnations before ''The Dr. Zone Files: The Next Regeneration'': The Zone, Dr. Zone, Professor Zone, and ''Adjunct Faculty Member'' Zone, which only lasted for a semester.
* After Sara remarks that "Dr. Zone fans can be kind of elitist," it cuts to two upper-crust English women having tea... who then notice the line of cosplaying Doctor Zone fans outside lining up for the movie.
* "She really puts a lot of faith in punctuation."
* Sara getting increasingly paranoid about protecting their movie tickets. "Does anyone know how to fuse flesh and paper?"
* When Diogee shows up for his OnceAnEpisode appearance, Milo gives him a ticket to see [[{{Pun}} The Dog-Door Bone Files]] at the "pet theater" across the street. Poor Diogee ends up seated behind a pompadoured poodle who obstructs his view of the screen.
* The insufferable "oldbie" fans explaining the origins of Time Ape.
* Sara sniffing the air, and Milo agreeing that "It smells quiet..." "''Too'' quiet!"
* The exploding pistachio stand.
* "Oldbies, newbies, lend me your ears... ''(someone holds a pair of ears in Sara's view)'' [[LamePunReaction No, not literally!]]"
* If Dr. Zone having a [[RummageSaleReject ridiculous costume]] isn't funny enough, wait until you find out that he's basically been wearing it since he was born.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Note]]
* Melissa's [[SoUnfunnyItsFunny joke about osmium]] going completely over Zack and Milo's heads.
* Melissa has been documenting the effects of Murphy's Law for the benefit of Milo's doctor by taking cell phone pictures of all [[NoodleIncident the catastrophes]] they find themselves in because of it.
-->'''Melissa:''' Yeah, the kangaroos, the tangerine fight at Mardi Gras, the asteroid...\\
'''Milo:''' [[RunningGag The llama incident]]...\\
'''Zack:''' Wait, so you've been taking pictures this (''Melissa shows him her phone'') ''Holy cow!''\\
'''Melissa:''' Yup, Milo gets around!\\
'''Zack:''' ''How long is your selfie stick?!''
* Any and all interactions with crossing guard Eliot ([[InsistentTerminology "Safety Czar!"]]), who has Milo's name on the opposite side of his stop-sign.
-->'''Zack:''' How do you stop people who ''aren't'' Milo?\\
'''Eliot:''' I don't turn the sign around.
* [[MetaphorIsMyMiddleName Milo's middle name is]] [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep literally "Danger."]] It was his grandmother's maiden name and it's pronounced [[PretentiousPronunciation "Dawn-zhay."]]
* Milo and his friends briefly being distracted by what you call a group of cyclists.
-->'''Zack:''' I think it's a pod.\\
'''Melissa:''' No, that's whales!
* There are two running stories in the background about some sort of spy agency and an astronaut. It's sort of like OWCA, but with humans and more dangerous. And still funny.
* Melissa's attempt at an inspiring speech after the note gets lost in a ticker-tape parade.
-->'''Melissa:''' When we signed up to be Milo's friends, we knew it wouldn't be easy!\\
'''Zack:''' [[LiteralMinded I don't remember signing anything...]]\\
'''Melissa:''' So are we going to find that note?\\
'''Milo:''' That's a good question.\\
'''Zack:''' You're supposed to say "yes", Milo.
* The ticker-tape parade is a ''literal'' ticker-tape parade, celebrating its anniversary. The astronaut in the parade was just getting a ride somewhere.
* "And to think of all the parade astronauts I've unnecessarily disintegrated..."
* "After that slow-moving street sweeper!"
* Zack makes the mistake of asking Melissa how their situation can get any worse. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk2rtk4zUpk Her answer leaves Milo and Zack at a loss for words.]]
-->'''Melissa''' ''(increasingly intense):'' Well, you could accidentally get your head caught in a helicopter door that flies you out over the ocean, where it drops you straight into a pod of ravenous orca that rip you apart, leaving nothing but your ''bones'' for the hungry crabs in the inky depths at the bottom of the ocean!\\
'''Zack''': Wow! I mean...\\
'''Milo''': Yeah, I'm...I'm not sure how to respond to that.
* [[SimilarSquad The gang of similar kids]] also looking for a doctor's note. [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment They come out of nowhere and are not mentioned again]]...seriously, they even have their own version of Diogee as a pig.
* Milo repeatedly saying that they'll never be able to find his doctor, then cutting to two guys on a golf course asking each other if they're a doctor, replying that they are not. The end of the episode [[HoYay brings the gag home]].
-->'''1st Man''': I have a confession to make. I ''am'' a doctor.\\
'''2nd Man''': You--Why didn't you tell me the truth?\\
'''1st Man''': I wanted you to like me for who I am.\\
'''2nd Man''': Well, it totally worked.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Party of Peril]]
* The brief shot of [[NoodleIncident the last time they threw a birthday party for Milo]]. It involved a fireman trying to wrangle a runaway pony, an explosion of confetti, and paramedics wheeling away a shell-shocked party clown.
* Melissa baits Amanda into helping to set up the party by manipulating her SuperOCD tendencies.
-->'''Amanda:''' Don't think I don't know what you just did.
* Melissa ends up roping Eliot into distracting Milo while they set up the surprise party.
-->'''Eliot:''' You're on my radar, Milo Murphy! (''holds an actual radar'') Oh, wait, no, that's a flock of birds... Wait, wait, ''now'' you're on my radar, Milo Murphy!
* The OverlyLongGag of Eliot being attacked by a duck.
** It even crosses over into the next episode.
* Milo's parents setting up the party at the go-kart track.
-->'''Martin:''' This is perfect! The track makes everyone wear helmets and fire-proof jumpsuits.\\
'''Bridgette:''' Oh, great! For once we won't look out of place.
* One of the guests declares his intention to hide in the bushes for the duration of Milo's party. Not because of Milo, but because ''[[ThePerfectionist Amanda]]'' scares him.
* "They've got go-karts! [[ShapedLikeItself They're karts that]] ''[[ShapedLikeItself go!]]''"
* After all the build-up, the disaster that happens during Milo's party is...a group of ducks attacking the party-goers after they get covered in cake and ice cream.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Smooth Opera-tor]]
* The poor performer getting interrupted by the set falling apart every time he tries to sing. Helped by him having little to no reaction to it.
* Diogee in an Opera helmet.
* Vinnie and Balthazar fail to protect the Pistachios.
--> '''Balthazar''': [[EpicFail You had one job...]]\\
'''Vinnie''': [[NoYou Yeah, well you had the same job.]]
* One of the stage guys gives an elaborate description of how the overhead lights might be dislodged, complete with arrows shows the Rube-Goldberg-esque chain of events that could lead to disaster...then concludes with "Or the rope might just come loose 'cause I didn't tie it too good."
* The sheer absurdity of the opera, ''The Mezzo-Sopranos,'' about a Mafia war between different vocal ranges which is solved (in Milo's improvised ending) by the revelation that ''all'' of the warring singers are in fact baritones. When the cast bows at the end, one of the performers is dressed as a ''giraffe.''
* Though some of the degree of Amanda's perfectionist nature had been shown in the previous episode, here it's revealed that she schedules everything, including time for fun.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Worked Day]]
* Melissa gives Zack 14:1 odds on a disaster occurring with Milo AND his father in the same place at the same time. It's not five minutes before we see her collecting on that bet.
** Zack asks if he can get a second helmet. A moment later we see him AND Melissa wearing two helmets apiece.
* Melissa's career of choice? Journalist '''''and''''' Queen of the Universe!
* One of the career choices listed was Animator. [[SelfDeprecation Milo doesn't think that's a real job.]]
* This exchange after Dakota fails to keep up with Cavendish:
-->'''Dakota:''' ''(panting)'' I should not have eaten all those wax lips.
-->'''Cavendish:''' How can you be so out of shape? You're wearing a tracksuit!
-->'''Dakota:''' Well, ''you're'' wearing a top hat, how can you be so--I don't know, [[LameComeback out of rabbits]].
* This gem from Vinnie Dakota as he is dragged through the streets.
--> '''Vinnie''' : ''I'm literally riding your coattails.'' [[CreatorCameo (Especially funny when you remember that Dakota and Cavendish are voiced by Dan Povenmire and Jeff Marsh respectively)]]
* At one point, Diogee leaps from a catwalk, as several people simultaneously shout, "Diogee, go home!"
* The teacher tells the class that the next stop on the field trip is to visit Melissa's father at the fish hatchery. Zack says he thought Melissa's Dad was a firefighter.
--> '''Melissa''': He is. The fish hatchery is probably on fire.
** Sure enough...
* Melissa's Dad questions whether or not Milo was at the hatchery at all that morning.
** Complete with Milo being [[OutOfCharacterMoment uncharacteristically annoyed]] [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore by the accusation]].
--> '''Milo''': ''(cheerfully)'' Why Mr. Chase, I'm flattered! ''(suddenly deadpan, visibly irritated)'' [[NotMeThisTime But no.]]
* Melissa's Dad's [[OhCrap reaction]] to Milo suggesting he might like to be a firefighter:
-->'''Mr. Chase:''' Milo...a fireman...\\
'''Melissa:''' He said 'might,' Dad.
** Then, after Milo's first try with a firehose
--->'''Mr. Chase:''' [[EpicFail Well, Milo; you're the first person in history]] [[{{Irony}} to ever start a fire with water.]]\\
'''Milo:''' Thanks!\\
'''Mr. Chase:''' Not really a compliment.
* [[AmbiguouslyHuman Mr. Draco]], getting an MRI, believes the flashing red lights (caused by Milo's [[HereditaryCurse curse]] flipping a switch to full power before breaking it) are because he crossed his arms over his chest and keeping up the proper position after being shot out of the MRI and thrown out an open window (which he lampshades).
* Scott the Undergrounder's cameo.
-->'''Scott:''' Hey! Who stole my door?
* When the MRI goes haywire, Milo's backpack is quickly stripped of its metal contents, including an anchor; Melissa questions that last one and Milo coyly responds "You don't know everything about me."
* "Diogee, go ho...Oh, you are home. Good boy."
* After Brigette has a heartfelt talk with Milo about how he doesn't have to decide on just one career and gives him a hug:
-->'''Brigette:''' [[BrickJoke All right, where's your anchor?]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Wilder West]]
* This exchange:
-->'''Jackie:''' You know what they say: tempting fate is like a rainbow; it's too beautiful not to want to slide down like a leprechaun!
-->'''Melissa:''' No one has ever said that.
* The Doctor Zone fans going about the ranch, fanboying about the dirt, the hay, and even a wall.
* This exchange, after everyone almost went over a waterfall in the middle of a storm:
--> '''Zack''': So... that girl is crazy, right.\\
'''Melissa''': Welcome back.
* At the end of the episode (after the kids had spent the day at a ranch and the adults at a store) Milo, Zack, and Melissa are dressed in ill-fitting period costumes while the Murphy car is filled with stuff:
-->'''Martin:''' Loaner clothes after a disaster ruined yours?\\
'''Milo:''' Yep. Stuff you broke and had to buy?\\
'''Brigette:''' Yep. Thankfully at half-price.
* [[BookEnds Milo's parents almost forgetting about Sara]] not once, but ''twice''. The first time, they almost forget to drop Sara off because she's quietly glued to her phone in the back seat. The second time, they (along with Milo) don't realize that they've left her at the ranch until they reach the ''city limits''.
-->'''Milo:''' ''[gasps in realization]'' Sara!\\
'''Brigette:''' Oh! ''[turns car around]'' Why do I keep forgetting about her?!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Family Vacation]]
* Melissa showing Zack the scrapbook of several Murphy Family Vacations, including such treasures as the Titanic, the Hindenburg, and Mount Vesuvius!
--> '''Melissa''': To be fair, no one ever talks about the ''quiet'' volcanoes.
* The DoubleTake when the Brulee family realizes they picked up Milo.
-->'''Mr. Brulee''': Did everyone go before we left?
-->'''Milo''': Sure thing, Dad.
-->'''Mr. Brulee''': Excellent, son. ''[{{Beat}}]'' Wait a minute! We don't have a son!
-->'''Milo:''' Oh my gosh! This seat isn't a floatation device!
* The RunningGag of the jars to collect money for various idiosyncracies, like "Eye Rolling", "Excessive Use of the Word 'Grand'", and "Sappy Sentiment".
* "Sometimes the interruptions are the best part. And other times, they're mind-numbingly terrifying. I can't wait to find out which one this is."
* Horseface, the Equestrian Barbarian!
* This example of DissonantSerenity:
-->'''Mr. Murphy''': You must be the Brulees.
-->'''Mr. Brulee''': And you must be nuts! How can you be so calm? [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext We are driving down a rampaging river carrying a dinosaur made of ham!]]
-->'''Mr. Murphy''': And isn't it a great day for it?
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Murphy's Lard]]
* Lard World's premiere roller coaster is called "Greased Thunder," prompting this exchange.
--> '''Zack:''' Thunder's a sound. [[SeinfeldianConversation How can it be greased?]]
--> '''Milo:''' The same way you [[Film/{{Grease}} grease lightning]]. With lard!
* The fanfare that plays when Milo points out Greased Thunder isn't just the soundtrack. [[LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn It's Milo playing a trumpet next to Zack's (clearly annoyed) face]], until Zack pulls it away from him.
* Zack and Milo try to hi-five. Milo misses Zack's hand and hits his face.
* The origin of Melissa's roller coaster phobia: she was finishing up a science project on the first day of summer when a helicopter accidentally drops the roller coaster from the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' into her backyard.
** During her exposition, Milo starts to ask [[FridgeLogic why she was doing a science project on the first day of summer]] before Zack makes him stay on topic.
* Zack is deathly afraid of fish (tiny, harmless fish no less). Milo is deathly afraid of Chinese finger traps. Both have the same over-the-top hysterical reaction upon seeing one.
** And [[ParentalBonus it might go over the heads of the kids]], but how many adults were laughing at "[[Film/ApocalypseNow Never get out of the boat]]"?
* Cavendish and Dakota attempt to protect a pistachio stand from being destroyed, and the things that could destroy it include pigs, flames, and flaming pigs. [[{{Foreshadowing}} As expected for this series, that exact thing somehow happens...]] but it turns out that the protections the two agents gave to the stand [[TheCuckooLanderWasRight actually worked]]:
-->'''Cavendish''': There, you see? Flaming pig.\\
'''Henry''': I don't understand this at all, I'm sorry, mea culpa, you were a zillion percent right.
** They then disengage all the protections... at which point [[ItMakesSenseInContext the Lardee Boy head falls from the sky]] [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext because of aliens]], [[DoubleSubversion catapulting the flaming pig back into the stand]] in a ContrivedCoincidence worthy of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''.
--->'''Cavendish:''' (''[[TranquilFury annoyed, yet deadpan]]'') Dakota, play me out.\\
(''Dakota starts playing a jaundy, Randy Newman-esque tune on the clarinet while Henry accompanies on banjo.'')
* When Melissa decides to tackle the roller coaster, Milo goes into an impassioned speech about how brave she is to face her fears. It works... until she actually sees the coaster. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Then she tries to run.]] Without skipping a beat, Milo continues his praise of her bravery as he and Zack literally drag her back.
* Melissa is so caught up with facing her fear that she fails to realize the obvious problem with [[WalkingDisasterArea riding a roller coaster with Milo]] until they're already seated and his safety bar breaks off. Then her hand [[FromBadToWorse accidentally gets stuck to his finger.]] For bonus points, this all happens immediately after she says [[TemptingFate "what could possibly go wrong?"]]
--> '''Milo:''' ''[cheerfully as always]'' Hey! My safety railing came loose! [[NoodleIncident Just like last time!]]
** Rather than stay and help, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Zack ditches them]] [[OffscreenTeleportation and jumps back to the platform when she isn't looking]]. Even funnier, she was so busy trying to warn him about Milo that she didn't think to simply leave herself.
--> '''Zack:''' Maybe I shouldn't be here when she gets back...
* When they reach the top of the coaster, Milo sees a plane flying underneath them. Later, when they are accidentally launched back to the beginning of the ride, the same plane flies under again on a loop.
* When the coaster starts to fall, Milo can be heard giving a [[StockScream Wilhelm Scream.]] But rather than the stock sound effect, Weird Al appears to have performed it himself.
* Melissa and Milo both make girly screams on the coaster, and contrasts them by emphasizing Melissa making big girl screams and Milo the one sounding like a little girl.
* During the ride, Melissa cries out what sounds like either, "Oh, my lord!" or "Oh my, ''lard''!"[[note]]The closed caption writer put it as "lord", but there're many instances when they've been wrong about what was said on programs.[[/note]]
* After successfully avoiding his fears all episode, Zack gets a little LaserGuidedKarma when a tiny goldfish in a bag accidentally hits him just before the credits. He ScreamsLikeALittleGirl and runs away ranting about how they're even scarier in bags.
** The thing that caused the fish? A man's wheelbarrow somehow catapulted them at Zack:
-->'''Random guy''': [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext MY WHEELBARROW FULL OF FISH!]]
-->'''Girl at the counter''': [[UnfazedEveryman All sales are final.]]
* Vinnie's reaction when Balthazar is crushed by an out-of-control boulder:
-->'''Vinnie:''' If you're still alive, can we go home now?
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Secrets and Pies]]
* Zack 'badgering' Melissa with an actual stuffed badger.
* The ImagineSpot where Melissa [[RoboticReveal reveals herself to be a robot]]. What's more, it is shown ''twice'' in a row, [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike apparently having been thought up by both Zack and Melissa.]]
** Then when Melissa reveals her ''actual'' secret (some of her front teeth are actually dentures), Milo freaks out and tries to escape exactly like in the ImagineSpot... except he bumps on the garage door and creates an indent.
* The "Chop Away at My Heart" music video.
** Zack practically begging Melissa and Milo to turn it off.
-->'''Zack:''' Please turn it off! I will give you this dollar I found in your pocket!
-->'''Milo:''' Oh you can keep that.
* Melissa thinks British pizza is "a bit standoffish, but lovable."
* The little girl didn't warn the officer that molasses was flammable because, as she points out, "I'm four!"
* Melissa and Zack's [[OhCrap reactions]] to Milo offering to cook dinner... and nothing bad happens... well nothing bad until Milo realizes that he put too much yeast on the mac and cheese, and it expanded and exploded.
* As Milo, Melissa, and Zack talk about starting a new band together, they all look down to find Diogee (with a big, goofy smile on his face) sitting on their pizza.
-->'''Zack:''' ...And now we have to order another pizza.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Acadecamathalon]]
* Mr. Drako has sheets covering up what the students suspect are mirrors, but are actually pictures of his ex-wife. When questioned about why he doesn't simply remove the pictures, he responds that he would then have nowhere to hang his sheets.
* Mr. Drako tells the class that he didn't tell them about the athledecamathalon until the last minute because he didn't want them to stress out over it.
* Mr. Drako is told his hair is a disaster. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny He finds it amusing enough to accept as an answer]].
* Martin finds what he thinks was his old soccer trophy... but turns out to be a ceramic model of a soccer ball that happened to win a prize.
* When Milo has to answer the last question of the athledecamathalon, he flashes back to all the times he ''could'' have found out the answer but, due to unfortunate coincidences, didn't. Then Melissa reminds him that she'd already mentioned the answer to him minutes ago.
* When Chad tells the gang that Mr. Drako might be a vampire cause they have never seen his reflection, Melissa retorts by telling Chad they've also never seen his reflection to which Chad thinks he's a vampire and runs off screaming only to walk carefully around a ray of sunlight and continues to run and scream.
* Milo forgets his body armor, so his parents bring it to school for him. When they hand it off to Principal Milder, she promptly collapses under its weight and gets trapped beneath it.
* Milo nonchalantly describing the cataclysm that tears the Acadecamathalon field apart.
* The Middleton Middlemen's mascot is Murray the Middleman, [[MundaneMadeAwesome who buys products from wholesalers and then sells them to retailers at a hefty profit.]]
* After the Geckos accidentally destroy his car during the javelin event, Mr. Drako gives them a negative point.
* Scott the Undergrounder's cameo.
--> '''Scott:''' I have returned to the above world to witness this competition! ''(normal voice)'' But I must admit, I was expecting two separate events; one scholastic, one athletic.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Substitute]]
* When Milo is feeling sorry for the substitute:
-->'''Milo:''' Maybe if I...
-->'''Melissa:''' Careful, Milo! [[NoodleIncident Remember the last time you 'maybe if I'd'? They had to call in the National Guard.]]
-->'''Milo:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I know! I got to hold a grenade launcher!]]
** The fact that someone let ''[[WalkingDisasterArea Mi]][[WeirdnessMagnet lo]]'' hold a grenade launcher.
* Zack listing the types of substitute teachers.
* Milo doing an action hero-esque impression while fighting the blob monster.
* When Ms. Baxter returns from being sucked into space, Zack points out (after some hesitation) that her hair is messed up. Melissa snarks about the fact that ''that'' was what stood out to him given the situation.
* When Vinnie sees that Milo's class is using a zoetrope, he initially assumes it's the 1800s (though he quickly realizes that it's probably a public school on the basis that there are also fluorescent lights).
* Cavendish and Dakota attempt to sneak into the classroom... hiding behind a chalkboard on (very squeaky) wheels. Everyone just stares at them as they creep over to the outlet, then Ms. Baxter resumes teaching.... and then Dakota and Cavendish sneak ''back into'' the closet.
* The fact that the blob resulting from the chemical spill is sentient leads to some hilarity, including it trying to get Ms. Baxter's attention and knocking on the door of the storage shed.
** The blob also does [[PokeThePoodle such bad things]] as texting in class or winding Joni's ponytail in the pencil sharpener.
* Milo wearing glasses that show "kind eyes".
* Ms. Baxter gets her first taste of Murphy's Law.
-->'''Melissa:''' Yeah, strange things happen around Milo.\\
'''Chad:''' ''[rising from behind Melissa]'' ''Spooky'' things! ''Otherworldly'' things!\\
'''Melissa:''' (''as Milo uses a fire extinguisher'') Chad, what have I told you about rising up from under my desk?\\
'''Chad:''' Not to do it?
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Time Out]]
* Apparently, Zack came home drenched in pterodactyl blood. [[NoodleIncident No explanation is ever given.]]
* Zack's Dad has a bit of an AgentScully attitude towards the idea of Murphy's Law. It doesn't last long.
* [[CasanovaWannabe Vinnie attempts to make his move on Savannah]] only to get knockout gas to the face. [[TooKinkyToTorture It only makes him like her more.]]
* Cavendish complains that Brick and Savannah get all the good stuff:
-->'''Cavendish:''' "Where's my limo? Where's my fish tank? Where's my attractive partner?"
-->'''Dakota:''' [[ImStandingRightHere "Hey, I'm sitting right here..."]]
* Cavendish has decided that Milo is a counteragent sent to undermine his and Dakota's mission.
-->'''Cavendish:''' Just look at him over there, plotting our demise.
-->''(Cut to Milo enjoying fast food with Zack and their respective dads in happy oblivion)''
-->'''Milo:''' [[DescriptionCut I sure love cheese fries!]]
-->''(Cut back to Cavendish and Dakota)''
-->'''Cavendish:''' Oh, this is not over, Milo Murphy. Not by a longshot.
-->''(Cut back to Milo)''
-->'''Milo:''' [[CaptainObvious They're fries with cheese!]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:We're Going to the Zoo]]
* Vinnie's password to contact Mr. Block is... "password". Apparently, it's his mother's maiden name backwards.
* ''"We're going to the zoo! We're going to the zoo! And then we're gonna see some animals!"'' Sung multiple times by Dakota, as well as a chase-scene version.
** When Cavendish uses Dakota's binoculars... while still wrapped around his neck, he changes it to ''"Stangled at the zoo. Strangled at the zoo."''
** And the final instance during the episode also has him dance with pistachios in his pants. [[SquirrelsInMyPants Which happens to attract some squirrels.]]
--->'''Dakota:''' [[CallBack There's squirrels in my pants!]] [[AwesomeMusic/PhineasAndFerb There are squirrels in my pants!]] And pistachios. Obviously, there are pistachios, which probably attracted the squirrels.
* Mr. Drako takes a liking to a black cape ([[DontExplainTheJoke which makes him resemble a vampire even more]]), claiming that it makes him look like "a superhero who is evil".
* While chasing the runaway t-shirt cart, Zack exclaims, "I'm not used to running after things. I'm used to things running after us!" Sure enough, the cart soon ends up on a hill and starts to reverse direction...
* Sara wonders why Milo's [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb platypus pajamas]] are [[ArtisticLicenseBiology teal rather than brown]], and Milo suggests that [[SelfDeprecation "it's someone's idea of artsy"]].
* Melissa isn't able to help the gang because she was studying. Or, to be more specific, sitting in a wading pool. Later there's a brief cut to her again and Diogee's in the pool with her.

[[folder:School Dance]]
* When Dakota and Cavendish call Mr. Block, the pre-recorded message says, "Your time is not terribly important to us."
* The entire 'Vampire Hunters' subplot.
-->'''Zack:''' We could tell Principle Milder that vampire hunters have--never mind, [[CassandraTruth I'm hearing it as I'm saying it.]]
** This exchange while the students are discussing the "vampire hunters":
--->'''Zack:''' If [Mr. Drako] is really a vampire, those wooden stakes will kill him!\\
'''Melissa:''' But if he's ''not'' a vampire, ''[[DeadpanSnarker those wooden stakes will kill him]]''!
** Later, when they confront Cavendish and Dakota:
--->'''Melissa:''' We know what you're up to!\\
'''Dakota:''' Really? Because I barely know.
* When Dakota and Cavendish arrive at the dance:
-->'''Dakota:''' So, you think this kid is doing some undercover agent stuff at a middle school dance? Is that your theory?\\
'''Cavendish:''' What better cover is there? [[IResembleThatRemark No one but an idiot would suspect it.]]\\
'''Dakota:''' ...I didn't say it.
* Zack pretending that the punch is blood just to mess with Chad.
* Furthering Mr. Drako's AmbiguouslyHuman situation:
-->'''Mr. Drako:''' My house gets so little natural light, it's like a dark box that I sleep in.
* When Dakota asks what movie Mr. Block went back in time to see, he replies with "None of Your Business part 2, the Shut Uppening!"
* To make sure the dance goes smoothly, Amanda urges Milo to keep away from anything that can "fall to pieces."
--> '''Melissa:''' ''(sees a mini iceberg about to hit the punch bowl)'' You mean like you'll be doing in 3...2...
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Battle of the Bands]]
* The Lumbermax have marketed a line of singing tools (for entertainment purposes only; not for actual sawing).
** Milo has somehow procured the singing saw and [[ReadTheFinePrint is using it for actual sawing]].
* When Zack starts losing it:
-->'''Zack:''' "No back talk! We can replace you with a drum machine!"
-->'''Melissa:''' "I play bass."
-->'''Zack:''' "Then we'll replace Mort with a drum machine and ''he'' can play bass!"
* Scott and the Undergrounders, whose song is just Scott saying, "He shall be our leader."
* Zack's [[UnreliableNarrator overly dramatic narration]] of his time as a member of the Lumberzacks, claiming that they "partied nonstop" while the flashback shows them attending an eleventh birthday party, that "a girl came between them" while the flashback shows that a girl literally cut into line between them while they were at a store, and that the others were devastated when he left while the flashback shows that they were completely indifferent.
* Mort's underwhelming stage dive.
* There's a theory that "Saw Away At My Heart" just being "Chop Away At My Heart" with "chop" changed to "saw" is a humorous TakeThat at how all boy bands tend to sound very alike, which, if true, makes the whole thing ''funnier.''
* The introduction of the judges. There's the music teacher from the school (makes sense), the owner of the store they're using the parking lot of (okay), and ... Music/{{Slash}} ([[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers umm...]]).
* [[DeadpanSnarker Melissa's reaction]] to learning the Lumberzacks have changed their name to the Lumbermax:
-->'''Melissa:''' "Well, now ''all'' the good band names are taken."
* After the judges give their scores, Slash's isn't a number but instead reads "play some metal."
* The dance number that goes with "Saw Away at my Heart" is exactly the same as the dance number for "Chop Away at my Heart" which means that, despite the word "chop" being replaced with "saw," the Lumbermaxes still make chopping motions during the chorus.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Math Book]]
* While in a creepily abandoned corridor, Zack points out that Milo has a bunch of big spiders on him. Milo says that they're just old Halloween decorations... but nonchalantly states that the ''huge'' pile of spiders on Zack and Melissa are real.
* Milo brings out the (very loud) generator in his backpack, meaning that we hear him begin [[NoodleIncident a story with being trapped in an Aztec Temple and end it by revealing that the Mona Lisa in the Louvre is a copy painted by his cousin Regie]].
* Melissa playing up their objective to retrieve her math book as a "quest", and Zack constantly [[DeadpanSnarker putting a damper on things]].
** Her almost mythic status of the "Key Keeper" (otherwise known as Fred the janitor)
-->'''Melissa:''' Some say, he doesn't exist.\\
'''Zack:''' You just said he's the janitor.\\
''' Melissa:''' Some say, I said he's the janitor.
* Principal Milder's "I once knew a child" stories, all of which she either doesn't have a punchline for or we never get to hear it.
* Milo and his friends come across miniature models of pyramids and Stonehenge. Milo regards them with awe, but they crumble as soon as he touches them, leading Melissa to dismiss them with "Well, nothing lasts forever."
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Little Engine That Couldn't]]
* The various emergency features on the antique fire engine, including a rocket that explodes into puffs of smoke spelling out "help", a line of marionettes... for some reason, and a cage that releases a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinel_species canary]].
* The cat that looks like Cavendish apparently mocks him when he denies their resemblance.
* Mr. Chase narrating all his actions while driving.
* Near the end, the firetruck goes through the National History of Science museum, where it crashes into the frozen ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' from ''Phineas and Ferb'', where it conveniently lands near the Firetruck museum, looking like the Chases' firetruck fighting the ''T.rex''.
* This exchange:
-->'''Mr. Chase''': You're like...whatever the opposite of a rabbit's foot is!\\
'''Milo:''' [[SeinfeldianConversation A rabbit's]] ''[[SeinfeldianConversation head?]]''\\
'''Melissa:''' A ''fox's'' foot?\\
'''Milo:''' [[CloudCuckoolander A pound]] [[NonSequitur of sugar?]]\\
'''Mr. Chase:''' No, you're just-- ''(grunts angrily)''\\
'''Melissa:''' Dad! It's just Murphy's Law, he can't help it! Besides, he just...[[DelayedReaction a pound of sugar? Really?]]\\
'''Milo:''' I was just riffing.
* "This chassis was not built for jet propulsion." - that line, and the way Mr. Chase says is gold.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Llama Incident]]
* There is a grayed out flashback relating to the times when Milo and Melissa brought up the llama incident... including some instances that never actually happened (or at least [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome that happened out of view]] [[NoodleIncident of the audience]]). As well as Milo in a can-can line, Melissa with Mexican food, and a few others that sound out 'Llama Incident', and for some reason, the two of them standing before Zack tied to a llama statue in a pagan ritual. The end of the flashback is to the start of the episode, a few minutes prior, which is what prompted the flashback in the first place. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEEfAV8jKzg As can be seen here]].
* When Milo explains the Llama Incident started at the turn of the century, he has to tell Zack he means the year 2000 instead of 1900.
* Edmond Garner says he inherited a llama farm without the farm.
* Apparently there's an entire theatre district that features llamas performing.
* The way the flashback is told is quite hilarious, with Zack constantly having to prompt Milo for more detail.
** At one point, Zack starts freaking out that a woodpecker is tapping on the tree they're dangling from, fearing it will dislodge the branch. Milo calmly states that it will take a while for that to happen, and would Zack rather spend that time panicking or hearing the rest of the story? Zack considers it, then asks Milo to continue.
* Why does Milo speak Spanish? [[MundaneSolution He actually took a Spanish class.]] Why does Diogee understand Spanish, though? He was also in that class.
* At the end of the llama incident, Milo tells Melissa to jump, but it's the llamas[[note]]and Diogee[[/note]] that respond. Milo admits that his wording was ambiguous.
* At the end of the episode, Milo and his friends finally fall off the cliff, and we see three objects hit the ground with [[BlackComedy red splatter]]. Turns out Mort had gotten a job transporting "red paint in flesh-colored bags" and had accidentally dropped them, while Milo and the others had managed to survive after another convoluted adventure that we only get glimpses of.
** As for how they got down... it's what they dub [[NoodleIncident The Woodpecker Incident]]. Complete with increasingly nonsensical pictures such as the one above.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Missing Milo]]
* The episode starts with Milo, Zack and Melissa racing down a street while being followed by a runaway truck carrying molten lava, which flips over leaving a flood of lava on the road. Milo is riding a bike with only the front tire, Zack is on a pair of skis, and Melissa is riding an ice block pulled by a bunch of chinchillas ("You have too many chinchillas." "There's no such thing."). And this happened after they left the convenience store to buy snacks and we never learn how they ended up like that.
* King Pistachion is quite LaughablyEvil throughout.
** During his first proper introduction in the episode, he is shown taking a group selfie with his army, and even telling them that they will do both a "real version" and a "crazy version" of the photo.
** When his army introduces themselves to Melissa, Zack, and Sara, he tells the humans not to be [[FauxAffablyEvil fooled by their congenial manner]]. "One of them ate a Congressman."
** Being mad when his son Jerry steals his villainous line "yup see, moment's gone, you ruined it!"
* Brick and Savannah flirt for a few seconds before realizing they don't really have any chemistry between them and just decide to stay as partners.
* Scott the Undergrounder shows up in the sewers, to save Melissa and Zack from Brick and Savannah with a series of booby traps, culminating in a path with a huge sign that shows where there is [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial definitely NOT a trap door]]. The time agents try to swing across before [[BaitAndSwitch the sign squashes them flat]] [[DoubleSubversion and slides them into the trap door]]. Then this happens:
-->'''Scott''': Come to me, my chickens!\\
''*rats pour out of holes in the pit*''\\
'''Savannah''': Those aren't chickens.\\
'''Brick''': And that's not a rooster!\\
''*points to emerging wolf*''
* At different points in the episode, Melissa and Zack each wonder [[TimmyInAWell how the other apparently manages to understand Diogee solely from his barking and howling.]]
* The OverlyLongGag in which Cavendish and Dakota talk in circles as they try to figure out [[StableTimeLoop where the peach came from]].
-->'''Cavendish:''' Wait a moment, where did you get that peach?\\
'''Dakota:''' Someone threw it at you earlier.\\
'''Cavendish:''' But that someone was ''me!''\\
'''Dakota:''' I know.\\
'''Cavendish:''' But where did ''I'' get it?\\
'''Dakota:''' From me!\\
'''Cavendish:''' Yes, but where did ''you'' get it?\\
'''Dakota:''' Someone threw it at you earlier.\\
'''Cavendish:''' But that someone was ''me!''\\
'''Dakota:''' I know.\\
'''Cavendish:''' But where did ''I'' get it?\\
'''Dakota:''' From ''me!''\\
'''Cavendish:''' Yes, but where did ''you'' get it?\\
'''Dakota:''' Someone threw it at you earlier!\\
'''Cavendish:''' ''BUT THAT SOME--''\\
''[SmashCut]''
* Melissa has a room in her basement filled with pictures and such of Milo. When Zack asks if she has one of him, she laughs and walks away.
** And her reasons for continuing to study Murphy's Law after she's decided not to try to cure it: "I could rein it in, or explain it, or monetize it..."
* Diogee's middle name is "[[DeusExMachina Ex Machina]]".
* The creator of the Dr. Zone Files moved to town, and apparently Sara's been staring at his house.
-->'''Melissa''': The creator of your favorite show of all time lives across town from you? And this is the first time you've ever been here?\\
'''Sara''': Yeah... Today... I usually just stare from behind that tree.
* Melissa, Zack, and Sara meeting Orton Mahlson for the first time.
-->'''Zack''': Whoa! You look like a really old Doctor Zone.\\
'''Orton''': [[SarcasmMode Yeah. That was]] ''[[SarcasmMode totally]]'' [[SarcasmMode worth opening the door for; thanks, kid]].\\
'''Zack''': Sorry. I mean- I didn't know you were the show's creator ''and'' the star.\\
'''Melissa''': Sara, you knew this?\\
'''Sara''': Of course! Who doesn't know that?\\
'''Sara and Orton''': Newbies!
* Dakota wonders why the time stream is filled with clocks. Later in the episode, it transpires that ''he'' was the one who ended up tossing them into the time stream. Cavendish is not surprised at this revelation.
** Dakota's sheer level of delight when he realizes he did it.
--->'''Dakota:''' It was me. ''I'' was the joker.\\
'''Cavendish''': [[DeadpanSnarker Shocking]].
* Milo greets his backpack before he greets Sara when he reunites with them, much to Sara's dismay.
* Milo's [[{{Adorkable}} flustered embarrassment]] when the time limo takes an inadvertent detour through the girls' bathroom.
* Diogee defeats King Pistachion by [[CrossesTheLineTwice peeing on his sapling.]]
* When Milo sees himself in the lost episode of Dr. Zone that took place in 1965:
-->'''Milo''': Wow.\\
'''Zack''': Right?\\
'''Milo''': [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I am]] ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint not]]'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint a very good actor]].\\
'''Zack''': Riiiiight.
* After everything is resolved, Dakota & Cavendish give Brick & Savannah back their limo, which they borrowed, and was ripped apart by the Pistachions. Brick just keeps clicking the car alarm and Savannah replies [[SarcasmMode "Yeah, just keep clicking the button, that'll help"]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Star Struck]]
* An entire action movie franchise is centered on krill hunting.
* Zack and Melissa teasing Milo about his hat.
--> '''Milo:''' [Tobias's] movies taught me that when something's in your way, it's not a problem, it's a challenge. \\
'''Zack:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Like that hat?]] *high fives Melissa*
* The trailer for latest Krill Hunter movie shows why people think Tobias is washed up, as it seems like the worst action movie ever.
--> '''Man:''' Give up Krill Hunter, they're everywhere! \\
''' Tobias:''' I'll catch you on the flip side ''(flips in slow motion and knocks the guy off the pier into the water)'' \\
'''Man:''' ''(emerging from water)'' Oh, I get it, it's sarcasm. \\
''' Tobias:''' ''(completely serious)'' Actually, ''(DramaticPause)'' it's a pun.
* FreezeFrameBonus shots of the various studios behind the ''Krillhunter'' franchise. Highlights include Trope Media and Hard to Watch Films.
* A misfired harpoon apparently hits one of the stunt-krill on the movie set, but the krill are so small that it's hard for the krill handler to verify.
* Tobias's ImagineSpot in which he sees not only Milo (who he has mistaken for a goblin) but also his film director, as well as Dakota and Cavendish, as pursuing monsters.
* [[BlackComedy Milly and the Menninkainen]]
* The remote-controlled car race, in which the participants quickly lose sight of their cars and are left standing around idly pushing levers on their controllers.
* One of the ways Milo and his friends try to sneak past Elliot is seemingly having Zack feign illness, only for "Zack" to reveal that he was Mort standing in as a stunt double the whole time.
* Milo decides to skip to "plan H" when trying to get past Elliot, because he'd already run plans C-G through his head and decided they wouldn't work.
* Elliot faking some gear to look like a security guard, including using a bar of soap as a walkie-talkie... which somehow works.
** A bar of soap in a random guy's shower picks up Elliot.
-->'''Man:''' Lorraine! My-my soap is talking to me!
-->'''Woman's voice offscreen:''' Just ignore it, Barney!
* The cameraman messing with the director by saying that he didn't get the chase scene "on film" or "on tape", because [[ExactWords cameras don't use film or tape anymore]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Disaster of My Dreams]]
* Apparently, Milo's presence once caused a ''submarine'' to surface in Principal Milder's office. They somehow mistook it for the North Pole.
* Elliot claiming to be like a "predicate following his subject" while spying on Milo. He later brings it up to Bradley, saying that no one had been there to hear his earlier joke.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:A Clockwork Origin]]
* During Victor's introduction, famous minds in history (such as Newton) are mentioned and holograms of their likenesses are projected. However, Einstein is portrayed as a blank face with "no photo available".
* A man talking on his phone makes baaing sounds, as though living up to Victor's accusation that the general public are sheep, but he'd apparently been trying to tell whoever was on the other end that his phone had a bad connection.
* Zack disguises himself to walk through a lumberjack convention, wary of being revealed as the lead singer of the Lumberzacks. Midway through, in apparent frustration at being unrecognized, he removes his disguise and dramatically announces his identity. Nobody knows who he is.
** Well, except for a security guard.
-->''' Security guard:''' Huh, Zack from the Lumberzacks, right here in my security booth.
* When Victor's company is demolished, an onlooker groans about how he'd left his lunch in the building.
* Victor's HumiliationConga is capped off by a repo man taking away the V-Tech scooters he and his lackeys were riding and replacing them with cinder blocks and wooden sticks.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Perchance To Sleepwalk]]
* Milo, Melissa, and Zack go camping in the wild together. While pitching their tents, Zack comments about how much a recipe for disaster it is, and Melissa points out that [[TemptingFate nothing wrong has happened yet.]] Cue a band of roving squirrels ripping Zack and Milo's tent to shreds. Even better, Melissa tries to argue that it isn't technically ''[[ExactWords wrong,]]'' since they're wild animals in their natural habitat, [[NoodleIncident to which Milo mentions a wolverine once getting into his oven.]]
* Melissa's tent is a pink castle, complete with drawbridge and flags with her initial on them.
* Milo's collapsed tent spontaneously catching fire. Milo cheerfully comments that they have a campfire now.
* Cavendish and Dakota doing a SillyWalk. Yes, even the normally uptight Cavendish.
* Milo saying goodnight to Diogee despite Diogee not being visible at the time, correctly guessing that he'd followed them into the woods.
* That night, Milo sleepwalks out of the tent and goes on a stroll, and since Zack believes that they should NeverWakeUpASleepwalker he and Melissa have to go after him. As befitting the gag, what follows is a montage of Milo obliviously wandering safely through crazier and crazier situations, while Zack and Melissa go through increasingly over-the-top AmusingInjuries trying to keep him out of trouble.
** First off, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryAQQWNU8zo the song]], which is a cheerful, little diddy playing as Melissa and Zack endure forces of nature plus Murphy's Law. And also, the song [[LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn is actually being played by a family of campers.]] When the gang passes them by Zack starts dancing along, only for Melissa to drag him away.
** At one point during the chase, a frog lands on Zack's head [[ComicalOverreacting and he freaks out,]] while in the background we can see Melissa randomly being chased by an enormous swarm of bats.
** They all end up [[ItMakesSenseInContext tobogganing down a cliff on top of tree bark and flying off another cliff like a ski jump.]] Milo, of course, lands softly on his feet and keeps on sleepwalking. Zack and Melissa slam into a tree and fall into a bush, at which point their toboggan lands directly on top of them for good measure.
** Finally, it all ends when Milo... [[AntiClimax bumps into a tree.]] Even Melissa and Zack look annoyed about it.
* Cavendish and Dakota have decided to avoid saving pistachios from now on, to prevent them from taking over the world again. Naturally, {{Irony}} kicks in when - despite spending the whole day ditching work - they accidentally ''[[SpringtimeForHitler save]]'' [[SpringtimeForHitler the pistachios]] anyway. Then of course, [[CantGetAwayWithNothing by sheer coincidence]], they get caught trying to destroy them.
* When Dakota and Cavendish start destroying the pistachio plants, over-the-top music starts playing before the scene cuts to them straining to chop down a single tree. The crows even look at them unimpressed.
* Dakota singing "Chop Away at My Heart", and trying to get Cavendish to join in.
* The flock of crows Cavendish and Dakota were supposed to keep from eating a pistachio field change course [[ItMakesSenseInContext when they smell Dakota's limburger sandwich,]] which leads to them getting swarmed by an dozens and dozens of birds. Cavendish notes that [[{{Homage}} it reminds him]] [[Film/{{TheBirds}} of an old horror movie.]] [[TheDitz Dakota]] guesses [[MarsNeedsWomen "Neptune Needs Women."]]
* Brick and Savannah expose Cavendish and Dakota's plot to destroy all the pistachio plants, causing them to be fired from their assignment and instead reassigned to cleaning out old houses. [[LaserGuidedKarma Three guesses who gets their old job]] [[UpToEleven (and are also chased]] [[BearsAreBadNews by a bear).]]
* The last lines of the episode.
-->'''Milo:''' Oh, was I sleepwalking? [[DramaticIrony Good thing you guys stopped me before I got too far from the tent.]]\\

'''Milo:''' What'd I say?

[[folder:Some Like It Yacht]]
* Milo's great-great-grandfather once had a ship that was lost... as in it literally disappeared one day, not that it sank.
* An ice cream cone seems like it's about to hit the yacht's control panel, complete with slow motion... but falls short. The ''real'' DisasterDominoes sequence begins when a pelican flies into the yacht.
* The yacht is for some reason fitted with a cannon, rockets, and even a hoop for an orca to jump through.
* The pelican pulling a ScrewThisImOuttaHere when the yacht is about to crash into an island.
* The sight of Melissa as if she's freaking out when she's startled by Mr. Drako.
* [[AmbiguouslyHuman Mr. Drako]] attempts to maintain order:
-->'''Mr. Drako:''' All right, children, don't worry your pretty little necks...
-->'''Milo:''' Heads?
-->'''Mr. Drako:''' Heads.
* The CargoShip of Bradley and Carla, a self-serve ice cream machine.
* The entirety of the school faculty, with the exception of Drako, [[SanitySlippage immediately losing sanity and going native]] when the group is trapped on a deserted island.
** Melissa's response:
--->'''Melissa:''' Try not to eat each other!
** The fact that Mr. Drako, the teacher who tends to act like a vampire, is the OnlySaneMan among the teachers.
* Drako mentioning that the teachers going feral had apparently happened previously at a teacher convention.
* The fact that everyone was only stranded on the island for 45 minutes.
* After everyone gets shipwrecked:
--> '''Principal Milder:''' Okay, I know things look bad, especially since we have the walking disaster magnet on board.
--> ''' Milo:''' ''(cheerfully)'' She's talking about me.
* When Milo and his friends catch Coach Mitchell and Principal Milder wrestling for supremacy, Milo and Zack stare in confusion, while Melissa takes the time to snap a photograph.
-->'''Melissa:''' That one's going in the year book.
* The CallBack when Diogi steals the scepter and the teachers decide to follow him.
-->'''Zack:''' (imitating Scott the under grounder) "The floppy-eared one will be our leader!"

* Martin mentioning that some of the schools he'd attended "are still standing".
* The infant Mrs. Murawski shooing Melissa away from her desk.
* The de-aging machine causes a skeleton in the school's science lab to ''come back to life''.
* A truck driver who'd been angrily ranting on his phone pauses to tell Milo and his friends (who are trying to avoid a rolling Lardee Boy mascot) that they could simply run to the left or right.
-->'''Truck Driver:''' "...Well I ''am'' doing something about it; I'm calling to say you guys didn't strap it on right!"
[[/folder]]
[[folder:World Without Milo]]
* "A World Without Milo" is already a fun song, but it becomes hilarious when you realize that it's a parody of [[Music/TheTurtles "So Happy Together"]], a song about the exact opposite situation Elliot is singing about.
* Elliot hiring Bradley as a ReplacementGoldfish for Milo, even providing him with a script to follow. The script involves Bradley dropping some marbles, which Elliot proceeds to vacuum up. It takes a long time for him to get the final marble into the vacuum, eventually deciding to just drop it in manually. The marble then falls out and rolls into a drain.
* As Cavendish & Dakota are leaving to fix things and restore Milo, the talking squirrel asks them what they're doing for lunch. After Dakota explains they're going to fix things before lunch, the squirrel replies, more annoyed than anything "Aw, then I won't exist."
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Race]]
* Milo reciting sayings from a book of "inspirational shark mantras".
* Melissa and Zack list various things in Milo's backpack, three times in the episode.

-->'''Melissa:''' He's almost here!
-->'''Zack:''' Game over, man. We're finished.
-->'''Melissa:''' "Finished."

* Brick and Savannah have their first protecting pistachios mission, while Cavendish and Dakota try to spoil it.
* When Cavendish and Dakota travel back to the 1870s
--> '''Dakota:''' ''(to Cavendish)'' Hey, you're finally in style.

[[folder:Love Toboggan]]
* To help Sara determine whether she'd been asked on a date, Brigette asks her what type of tone Neal had used while inviting Sara to lunch. The problem is that Neal had done so by text using only a lunchbox emoji and a question mark, making it impossible to tell.
* Milo's list of everything that can possibly go wrong with snow, and the fact that he'd included even the most outlandish situations that they end up encountering.
* Milo and his friends flinch when they see a trio of wolves charging at them, only to realize that the wolves are actually fleeing from an avalanche. They then get stuck behind the wolves while trying to ski away from the avalanche.
-->'''Zack''': Get out of the way, you stupid wolves!
* Sara's [[GoodAngelBadAngel cosplaying shoulder angels]] debating whether she's on a date or not.
** Later, they actually start fighting about it.
* Martin finding free samples of oil and natural gas in a ''Fossil Fuels Monthly'' magazine. He absentmindedly tosses them away. [[OhCrap Into the fireplace at the ski lodge.]]
* Martin saying he and Milo have been skiing dozens of times and snow is soft and melts "unlike concrete, which is the worst invention in the history of mankind."
* After Sara and Neal get dragged along on Milo and Co's toboggan ride, Milo starts singing that episode's song: a toboggan based parody of Phineas and Ferb's Boat of Romance.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Island of Lost Dakotas]]
* Milo saying that the story of [[CallBack his previous encounter with Hamosaur]] would take "[[LeaningOnTheFourthWall about 11 minutes]]" to tell.
* Milo mentions (and later demonstrates) that his past experiences with shoelaces explain why [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe_tossing shoes are sometimes seen hanging from telephone wires]].
* Though it can also be seen as sad or horrifying, the reveal that Cavendish keeps dying repeatedly and the montage of his deaths are quite the BlackComedyBurst.
* The mayor's reaction to Milo's latest disaster:
-->'''Mayor:''' "Hi, folks. Welcome to the Fifth Street re-dedication ceremony. We all remember [[Recap/MiloMurphysLawS1E21TheLittleEngineThatCouldnt the events of the runaway antique firetruck and the damage it caused here.]] But as your mayor I'm proud to say we're back! Businesses are open, and..." ([[OhCrap Notices the crowd looking at something behind him]]) "...There's something behind me? One of the Murphys? Murphys, yep. Out of control water truck? Giant boulder? No, no..." (looks) "Oh, yeah! Giant dinosaur-like creature of some kind! Yeah, oh, that's nice!" (Hamosaur rips through the ceremony) "Yeah, yeah, get that mailbox! Yep. [[SarcasmMode I love being mayor here. I love it!]]" (beat) "[[SuddenlyShouting I LOVE IT!]]" (throws mike on the ground)
* Despite everything they've been through as [[WeirdnessMagnet Milo's]] friends, the mess with Milo's most recent escapade with shoelaces is something Melissa and Zack were completely unprepared for.
--> '''Melissa:''' This seems like a lot of shoelace for only two sneakers!
--> '''Zack:''' There are no applicable physics for this!
* After Dakota explains the premise to the old lady on the bus, he bids her farewell:
-->'''Old Lady:''' "Good luck on your island, Dakota!"
-->'''Dakota:''' "Thanks, Frances, and don't worry about your grandson; I'm sure it's just a phase."
-->'''Old Lady:''' (casually) "Naw, he's a bad seed."
* The captain of the ship Dakota is travelling on goes on a rant about how he doesn't have to look like the stereotype of the rugged old sailor([[StereotypeFlip he's blond, slender, clean-shaven and wears a pink shirt]])to be an effective captain...and then [[HypocriticalHumor a parrot lands on his shoulder]].
---> '''Captain:''' That's OK, Gary, we won't let that judgemental man ruin a perfectly good Wednesday.
** He remains offended apparently through the entire trip, even as he sees Dakota off on a rowboat, STILL talking to the Parrot like it's the offended one.
---> '''Captain:''' No, Gary, let the judgmental man row off to his doom. Rise above it, Gary.
* The other Dakotas greet the new Dakota by kidnapping him and ominously chanting "[[CallBack We're Going to the Zoo]]." They quickly apologize, stating that they don't get a lot of ways to entertain themselves.
* One of the Dakotas is called [[NakedPeopleAreFunny Birthday Suit Dakota.]]
--> '''Birthday Suit Dakota:''' ''(offscreen)'' It's my birthday!
--> '''Dakota 2:''' Put on some pants!
** There's also a Cannibal Dakota, apparently.
--> '''Cannibal Dakota:''' (After dinner) I'm still hungryyyyy!
--> '''Chef Dakota:''' Go back to your cage, Cannibal Dakota!

[[folder:Fungus Among Us]]
* At the beginning, after Dakota brags about saving the three from the falling balloon, Cavendish makes him admit that he actually saved them by accident while trying to get mustard off the steering wheel.
* When the trio shows Cavendish and Dakota the lost episode of Dr. Zone from 1965 that Milo appeared in:
-->'''Cavendish''': Amazing! [[ContinuityNod You're really quite an awful actor]].\\
'''Milo''': I really am!
* When Dakota said they're going back to TheSixties, the scene cuts to Dakota [[Series/RowanAndMartinsLaughIn dancing in a speedo and with body paint of phrases on him, ending with a close up of one of the phrases]]. When we cut back to Milo and everyone, the trio is freaked out while Cavendish is confused.
-->'''Cavendish''': What was that?\\
'''Dakota''': Never mind, let's just get in the car.
* Milo's overzealous attempt at [[GoodCopBadCop "Bad Cop."]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes Turns out he's packing heat in the form of an electric cattle prod]].
-->'''Dakota:''' And what are you, Dangerously Unstable Cop?
* ''[[MostDefinitelyNotAVillain Windooooowless vaaaaaaan!]]''
* When confronting Derek, Dakota claims that the odds are in the heroes' favor because they outnumber the pistachion, even if Milo is just a kid, Orton is tied up, and [[NonActionGuy Cavendish is Cavendish]]. Derek then reveals that there are actually many other pistachions present, causing Dakota to reconsider. Unlike how such a situation would normally play out, however, Derek proceeds to continue explaining his plan instead of immediately going after the heroes, allowing them to escape. When Derek questions the other pistachions on why they didn't stop the protagonists, one of them answers that they hadn't wanted to interrupt his monologue.
** Derek explaining why it took him ten years to think of a foolproof plan on overthrowing the human race:
--->'''Derek''': Well, the first seven years were brainstorming, and you know, I had to find an apartment, and I did take one summer off to do some modeling. Yes, I was young and foolish, but I regret nothing! Then over the last six months, I have really buckled down, and now I have a foolproof plan!
* Milo declares that ItsPersonal when he sees [[FelonyMisdemeanor how the pistachions have modified Lard World]], despite having seen them kidnap his sister just shortly before.
* Speaking of Milo's love for Lard World:
--> '''Milo:''' Hey! It's Lardee Boy! Official mascot of Lard World, beloved by children everywhere!\\
'''Dakota:''' What are you, his agent?
* The setup for Season 2's crossover with ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': Milo, Diogee, Dakota, Cavendish and Orton Mahlson, entering a very familiar apartment building in search of the inventor of time travel, promptly get caught in a trap that Doofenshmirtz set for the pizza guy.
* Milo: "It's Tobias Trollhammer. He's so young, and unconscious."

[[folder:Milo's Halloween Scream-a-Torium!]]
* The gargoyle narrating the episode, especially when he interrupts Milo's explanation of "Veggiefest".
-->"This episode is ''not'' about Veggiefest."
* Diogee's costume is [[StockYuck broccoli]].
* Dakota shows Cavendish the research he did on Halloween, which consists of what appears to be a low budget SlasherMovie.
--> '''Dakota:''' Well according to my research, we sneak up on teenagers wearing a hockey mask.
* Elliot decides to chase after the runaway truck... cue several cutaways to him slowly riding after it on his bike.
* Dakota dressing up as "the Industrial Revolution" ([[VisualPun wearing a hat with a rotating wrench on top]]).
* [[ManChild Dakota]] and [[NotSoAboveItAll Cavendish's]] sheer enthusiasm for trick-or-treating. They go from not understanding the concept to (after it's explained to them) hustling on a grand scale by switching disguises and hitting the same house multiple times. Nobody is the least bit perturbed by the two grown men out collecting candy with the kids.
* Milo casually chatting about actuary statistics while dangling from a truck that is perched precariously on the edge of a cliff.
* Diogee's chestburster impression.
* Cavendish spending 10 minutes listing safe places Dakota could've put the time grenade in.
* The runaway truck smashing through [[OverlyLongGag many]] warehouses, getting coated in their contents along the way. One of them is an empty warehouse, which accordingly does nothing to the truck.
* The fact that the truck has a parachute function.
-->'''Zack''': So there's a parachute button but ''no engine''?\\
'''Milo''': [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Who needs an engine when you're falling?]]
* Despite Zack claiming that he doesn't find Halloween scary anymore, his dad manages to scare him in the end... by dressing up as a [[AbsurdPhobia fish]].
* When the kids are discussing whether they're too old to dress up for Halloween:
-->'''Sara:''' (dressed as Doctor Zone) "Wait, it's Halloween?" (the others stare at her) "I'm just kidding; of course I know it's Halloween. Though I ''do'' wear this intermittently all year."
* Sara is scared by a spring-loaded Dracula, not because it's a vampire, [[BaitAndSwitch but because she thought it was Mr. Drako and she didn't like his shop class.]]
* One kid brags to some others about the Time Grenade, admitting he had no idea what it is or does, but he activated it.
* The lyrics to Dakota's song about Halloween:
-->'''Dakota:''' ''We're going door to door, just asking for candy. On any other night it would be panhandling.''

[[folder:A Christmas Peril]]
* Old Cavendish gets scolded by a security robot for having a {{flashback}} in public, and is directed to a waiting area for "Old Men With Unfinished Business". And then all the other guys in the waiting area bum a ride off him in his time machine.
* One of Old Dakota's fans reads him like a map when he starts to miss working with Cavendish.
-->'''Fan:''' Are you alright? It's like [[StepfordSmiler the warm facade of your affluent life]] [[LonelyAtTheTop just dropped away to reveal hidden discontent and pain]]. [[BrutalHonesty It's just what I see]].
* No matter what disasters befall him, Nate Murphy [[ImplausibleDeniability insists the family curse skipped a generation with him]].
* Old Cavendish's idea to stop the argument over the last eggroll? Eat it himself. Old Dakota's idea to stop the argument? Sic an angry ''Velociraptor'' on the buffet table. A ''Velociraptor'' that ends up attacking Cavendish instead.
* When the old versions of Cavendish and Dakota team up, they don't have any more luck interrupting the argument, even as they unleash giant robots, a whole pack of ''Velociraptors'', tentacled aliens in Santa costumes, and a pirate ship on the party.
