[[folder: Twerps Imitating the Team Rocket motto]]
* [=EP021=] "[[Recap/PokemonS1E21ByeByeButterfree Bye Bye Butterfree]]": The gang breaks into the warehouse where Team Rocket was stashing the kidnapped Butterfree, and fires off the motto.
* [=EP037=] "[[Recap/PokemonS1E37DittosMysteriousMansion Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]": With the help of Duplica, they have two guys and two girls reciting the entire Team Rocket motto, with Pikachu in Meowth's place. [[IrritationIsTheSincerestFormOfFlattery The imitation is not perfect, however]], and [[BerserkButton Jessie and James angrily correct them]].
** What really sells it is Jessie and James' annoyed reactions throughout.
--->'''James:''' Quit imitating us!\\
'''Jessie:''' This is insulting!
* [=EP136=] "The Chikorita Rescue": Ash says some similar lines, prompting reflexive responses from Jessie, James, and Meowth.
* [=DP044=] "Mass Hip-Po-Sis": Dawn, Brock, and Pikachu say similar lines to Team Rocket while ''really pissed off''.
* [=DP056=] "The Keystone Pops!": Ash and gang copy the Sinnoh motto, with an exasperated response from Jessie.
-->'''Jessie:''' It's that kind of imitation they invented lawsuits for!
* [=XY010=] "Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!": Bonnie and Serena didn't take long to put a pastiche together. This time, James complains of copyright infringement.

* So what happens when Creator/VeronicaTaylor and Creator/RachaelLillis get together and spend the day driving around Los Angeles?

* During Team Rocket's 2018 April Fool's "takeover" of the official Pokémon Website/YouTube channel, James has a moment of clarity that [[IgnoredEpiphany gets promptly ignored]]:
-->'''James:''' Jessie? Meowth? Do you ever think, just maybe, our fruitless, never-ending quest to capture this specific Pikachu--even though there are '''''PLENTY''''' of other powerful Pokémon--is only a metaphor for some larger search for meaning in the universe?\\
''({{beat}})''\\
'''Meowth:''' Naaaaah.\\
'''Jessie:''' It's not like we've been doing this as long as we can remember.\\
'''James:''' ''(scoffs)'' Yeah, who would do ''that''?

[[folder: Indigo League]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L_yvIVvb7s He's gonna shock us!]]
* In the episode "The Challenge Of The Samurai", Samurai and Ash, after battling with other Pokemon, wind up getting into something of a Metapod-based freudian pissing contest where they both have Metapods out and do nothing but order them to use harden, for what's implied to be ''several hours on end''. And both of them take it ''completely seriously''. What seals it is Misty's reaction: sunbathing with Pikachu.
-->'''Samurai''': Metapod! Harden like his!\\
'''Ash''': Maximum hardness, Metapod!\\
''[cut to the sunbathing]''\\
'''Ash''': More power, Metapod! Samurai's is weakening!\\
'''Samurai''': Harder! You're the stronger Metapod!\\
'''Ash''': A little more!\\
''[By this point, Misty and Pikachu have finished their sunbathing]''\\
'''Misty''': We could be stuck in this forest for the rest of our lives. Boys can be so stubborn.\\
'''Ash''': Don't... give... up...\\
'''Misty''': You two are more hardheaded than your Metapods!
* In ''Pokemon Shipwreck'' we get ''two'' problematic Team Rocket mottos:
** First, they say the lines up to their names while lounging on a beach. James then remarks about the blazing Sun, until they wake up to find themselves laying ''under'' a burning stove.
** Then, after they're saved by Misty's Goldeen from drowning, they spit up water and wearily say the beginning of their motto.
* The episode where James is trying to avoid being dragged back to his mansion home by Jessie and Meowth. He stalls with a tragic story about running away in his childhood, in the winter, with only his faithful Growlithe by his side. [[DidYouDie Somehow, it ends with him]] [[SnowMeansDeath freezing to death]]. [[spoiler:Dog of Flanders, anyone?]] Cue the heartwrenching music and [[OcularGushers waterfall tears]].
-->'''Jessie''': That's such a sad ending!
-->'''Meowth''': That poor kid!
-->'''[[EyesAlwaysShut Brock]]''': I can't believe James is gone!
-->'''Ash''': I miss him!
-->'''Misty''': (the [[OnlySaneMan only one]] not crying) Grrr....JAMES IS STANDING RIGHT HERE!!
** Add to that [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVFRxflI7Is James' scream]] when we see that Jessiebelle [[IdenticalStranger looks just like Jessie]].
** Then, when Jessibelle reveals her [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar kinky torture room]], Misty can be seen blushing profusely. Blushing over what?!
** A moment later, Jessiebelle is chasing James around the room with a bullwhip. His parents are calmly sitting at a garden table in the middle of the room, ''drinking [[SpotOfTea tea.]]'' And the twerps are also watching this spectacle, providing this gem of a line.
--->'''Ash:''' Shouldn't we try to help him?
--->'''Brock:''' Nah, I don't like to get involved in these little family squabbles.
** In the episode's beginning, as Team Rocket read the sign with James' picture on it:
-->'''Jessie''': Hmmm...this kid looks a lot like you.
-->'''James''': You think so? He looks pathetic.
-->'''Meowth''': That's what she means, James.
* [[http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxwq91lNEi1qc2jhfo1_500.gif Ash getting hit by the door opened by Gary]] from "Here Comes the Squirtle Squad".
** The sheer mood disconance that happens earlier: Ash running into town, desperate to save Pikachu, he has to cross a rickety bridge... then the bridge collapses and Ash falls! And then... [[http://www.pokemopolis.com/pics/eps/indigo/squirtle06.jpg A Goldeen stabs him in the ass with its horn]]
* "If they built a temple to honor Psyduck, they weren't hidden -- they were ''lost''." - Brock, "[[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/EP072 The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]"
* In ''Electric Shock Showdown'', apart from Lt. Surge's ''priceless'' FlatWhat upon Pikachu avoiding Raichu's attack by grinding its tail against the ground, there's also Team Rocket and their snarky commentary.
-->'''Brock''': ''(on Pikachu)'' It used its tail as a ground, and dodged the electric shock!
-->'''Jessie''': ''(from outside)'' What a ''shocking'' story.
-->'''James''': That was quite a.. ''tail''.
-->'''Meowth''': ''(slaps them both over the head)'' [[HurricaneOfPuns And now you've both been ''pun-ished''.]]
** Brock, after seeing Team Rocket's cheer:
-->'''Brock''': That was really disturbing.
** Misty trolling Ash:
-->'''Ash:''' (pointing into distance) My lucky star is shining today!
-->'''Misty:''' (holds onto Ash's extended arm with one hand while holding the other up to her eyes for shade as she looks into the distance) Where? I don't see it! (Looks around) How can you see a star in the middle of the day? (Ash turns to her in annoyance as she folds her hands behind her back and smirks)
* From "The Water Flowers of Cerulean City" where Jenny theatens to arrest Ash and Brock.
-->'''Ash''': I've never been to jail!
-->'''Brock''': Neither have I, ma'am!
* During the Kanto Pokémon League...
-->'''Misty''': "You can stuff your greedy little face ''after'' we find a Pokémon Center!"
-->'''Ash''': "[[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne My face is little]]?"
* Meowth biting Sandshrew in "The Path to the Pokémon League" only to break his teeth:
-->'''Jessie''': Stop pussyfooting around!
-->'''Meowth''': Just ''biting'' my time!\\\
'''Meowth''': OW! [[HurricaneOfPuns The moment of tooth!]]
* Despite it not being the punchline, Misty's fake name from episode 42 of the Swedish dub:
-->'''Brock''': Caesar Salad.
-->'''Misty''': [[IncrediblyLamePun Ann Ananas]]. (Anne Pineapple, also a possible reference to Anna Book, the voice actress.)
-->'''Ash''': Tom Atsås. (Tom Atosauce.)
** It's even funnier in the English dub, where Misty's name is "Ann Chovie".
---> '''"Thank you for your wisdom and advice, Tom Ato!"'''
* During the preparations for the Kanto Pokémon League, Team Rocket tries to capture a Mr. Mime, and they realized they actually captured Ash, who was wearing a Mr. Mime suit, and he steals their balloon.
* ''Island of the Giant Pokémon''. Jessie and James doing their introduction speech while talking to Giovanni on the phone in
** This episode is FULL of hilarious moments, one of which is clearly a case of GettingCrapPastTheRadar.
*** First you have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik6sndlYmNw Squirtle]] suggesting the "fate" of his trainer and Charmander and Pikachu telling him off.
*** Ekans and Koffing {{invok|ed}}ing PunchClockVillain and refusing Meowth's orders to capture Pikachu, saying Pokémon only do bad things because their masters are bad. Then when Meowth tries to coax them into it by picking a fight with Ash's Pokémon, they sit by drinking tea.
*** Then later on, everyone's at an "Oden" stand lamenting their fate. Pikachu is comforting Ekans and Koffing (who are pretty upset) while Charmander looks on. What are Meowth, Squirtle and Bulbasaur doing? Well, both of them have clearly been drinking alcohol as Meowth's passed out and a very red-faced Bulbasaur is going off at Squirtle! (typically red around their nose/mouth is a sign that they're drunk in anime)
** Ash, the gang and Team Rocket are in a rail car going at top speed with their Pokemon trying to catch up to them.
--->'''Ash''': Stop the car right now!\\
'''Jessie''': Uh, we can't do that.\\
'''James''' [''holds up the brake lever'']: We ''can't'' stop; the brake's broken!\\
'''Ash''': Gimme a [[{{Pun}} break]]!
*** Not to mention how Team Rocket starts predicting what happens at the end of their rail car ride.
* "Primeape Goes Bananas" is pretty much a crowning episode of funny, with Manky beating Ash up when he's about to reach for his hat, throwing a riceball(not donut!) into Ash's Pokéball when he tries to catch it, and mimicking his signature "turn cap and toss ball" move just to tick him off, but the funniest example probably happens right after it evolves. After somehow forgetting they were terrified a second ago, Jessie commands the Pokémon to attack the twerps. Primeape does NOT take kindly to this dismissal, and punches her so hard she flies into a hedge, and gets buried to the neck.
** The look on Ash's face before he sics Primeape on Team Rocket is ''priceless'.
* "Pikachu is unwilling to battle!"
** Pikachu also refused to fight Misty during Ash's Cerulean gym battle. The humor is not so much the refusal as how Ash was about to throw him into the arena overhand, like a Pokéball.
** Misty's sisters deciding to award Ash with the Cascade badge for defeating Team Rocket. Misty whines about it and Daisy points out that if Pikachu had been willing to battle, Misty would've lost. Then Ash and Misty arguing about it at the end.
-->'''Ash''': Misty, you're not gonna be a sore loser about this are you?
-->'''Misty''': I didn't lose anything! It was a draw!
-->'''Ash''': Well, I'm the one who got the badge!
-->'''Misty''': What?! You lost with Butterfree!
-->'''Ash''': That was round one! I made a great comeback!
-->'''Misty''': If Team Rocket hadn't busted in, I would've destroyed you!
-->'''Ash''': You're lucky they showed up, you were about to lose!
-->'''Misty''': Lose?! I was just getting started!
-->'''Ash''': Oh yeah?!
-->'''Misty''': Oh yeah!
-->'''Brock''': Oh brother...
* At the end of the really old Kanto episode ''Tentacool and Tentacruel,'' Misty makes the V-sign toward the camera while holding her new Pokémon, Horsea, and Ash complains, "Wait a minute, that's supposed to be my pose!"
* Pikachu and ketchup. There's a ''[[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/indigo/042ps4.shtml reason]]'' why it became the rodent's NeverLiveItDown after ''Showdown at Dark City''.
** When asked to help one of the prospective gyms attack the other gym, Ash refuses and goes into a speech about how this gym is just as reprehensible. As he turns to walk away, feeling good about the speech he just gave, he slips on the aforementioned ketchup and falls flat on his face.
* There is a place in the anime called...[[UnfortunateNames *snicker*]]...''Hop Hop Hop Town!''
** It's a literal translation of its Japanese name, Yoyoyo Town.
* The Kanto episode ''Showdown in Pewter City'' has Team Rocket setting up a pitfall trap at the start of the episode - then forgetting where they placed it, which leads to them falling into it, getting buried seconds later. They reemerge at the end of the episode, only to be trampled on by Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu.
-->'''James:''' I told you I'd get us all out of this!
-->'''Jessie:''' This was all...*the three are all stepped on by our heroes* ...your fault!
** And a few seconds later...
-->'''Jessie:''' Buried alive and trampled...
-->'''Jessie & James:''' We've hit rock bottom! *The three of them all fall back into the pit*
* Misty's god awful makeover by Team Rocket in ''Pokémon Fashion Flash'', and the kicker? Misty loved it.
--> '''Ash & Brock''': What happened to her face?! (desperately holding in their laughter.)
--> '''Misty (deadpan expression)''': Dumb boys.
** Misty's [[HumiliationConga humiliation]] continues when she's still tied to a chair when Vulpix lets out its' Fire Spin attack and [[SlapstickKnowsNoGender she gets torched by it.]] And at the end, Ash takes another good look at her face and laughs his ass off. [[IWarnedYou He'd said that going to that salon was a dumb idea, and it seems he was right]]. [[HilariousInHindsight Last quack indeed.]]
** Earlier from that episode, when Misty gushes over Suzy's [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Vulpix]]:
-->'''Misty:''' I love its hair! I wish I had hair like Vulpix that looks so shiny and soft!\\
'''Suzy:''' [[DontTouchItYouIdiot Don't touch it!]]\\
'''Misty:''' (picking up the Vulpix): You're just about the cutest little Pokemon I've ever se-\\
'''[[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/8/86/Brock_Vulpix_Flamethrower.png/200px-Brock_Vulpix_Flamethrower.png FWOOOOOSH!]]'''\\
'''[[AshFace Misty]]:''' [[NonSequiturThud Very...cute...]] (faints)
* ''The Flame Pokémon-athon!'': Included only because of the EpicFail that ensued: Pikachu enters the eponymous race (never mind [[RuleOfFunny why they allowed a Pokémon as a contestant]]), his ride being ''Squirtle''.
** Electrode may be the single fastest Pokémon in the original 151, but the episode does a good job showing us what using one in a race would be like: even more EpicFail.
** From the same episode? When Team Rocket reveals themselves during the race, everyone is glaring at them with determined stances. Everyone except Squirtle and Pikachu, who're ignoring them to chow down on the food the racing Pokemon are supposed to eat.
* ''The Battling Eevee Brothers!'': Misty [[BerserkButton royally pisses off Jessie]], who starts ''spewing fire'' after gaining about five CrossPoppingVeins. Meowth's reaction is gold:
-->'''Meowth''': Wow! Jessie just evolved into a Flareon!
* ''Dig Those Diglett!'': Diglett and Dugtrio's [[PokemonSpeak noises]] whilst they work are surprisingly catchy. Jessie and James think so, too:
-->'''Diglett & Dugtrio''': Diglett-dig, Diglett-dig, ''TRIO-TRIO-TRIO!'' Diglett-dig, Diglett-dig...
--> '''Jessie & James''': '''''TRIO-TRIO-TRIO!'''''
* ''Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon!'': At the end of the episode, Team Rocket is trapped in a cave with the fossil Pokémon that terrorized them in the last half of the episode. This dialogue occurs:
-->'''Jessie''': Hey there, somebody ''help us''!
-->'''James''': We don't want to be extinct, too!
-->''Aerodactyl rubs its eyes''
-->'''Meowth''': Shhh, you're gonna wake it up!
-->'''Jessie and James together''': Rock-a-bye Dactyl, please don't eat ussss...
-->''James sneezes''
-->'''Aerodactyl''': ''Aerooooo...?''
* ''To Master the Onix-pected'': the most awesome way to BreakTheFourthWall: Meowth ''fast-forwards'' the Team Rocket motto!
-->'''Jessie''': That was exhausting.
-->'''James''': I think I bit my tongue.
** That whole episode was funny.
* Any time Ash acts like a five-year-old.
-->'''Ash''': *whining* I ''am not'' a big baby! Am I, Pikachu?
* Ash is at the Safari Zone, which is a familiar place to all who played the game. He got 30 Safari Balls. What he get at the end? ''30 Tauros''. Could also be a moment of awesome from another viewpoint, since in-game Tauros is one of the rarest Pokémon in the Safari Zone.
* Ash, his friends and Team Rocket are attempting to wake a sleeping Snorlax when one of them comes up with the idea of invoking TrueLovesKiss. After a failed and undesired attempt by Psyduck, Team Rocket prepares for their attempt. While it turns out to be Meowth in princely regalia, and his attempt gets an explicit negative reaction from the Snorlax, it's better than the alternative.
-->'''Ash:''' Which Pokémon are they going to pick?
-->'''Brock:''' [[LampshadeHanging The same ones they always use]].
-->''(they, and the audience, are promptly assaulted by the image of [[{{Squick}} being kissed by Arbok and Weezing]])''
* In ''Battle of the Badge'' when Team Rocket show Togepi to Giovanni. His face is priceless.
** Then he asks "Just ''what'' type of Pokemon powers does this... Togepi have?". The trio pause for several minutes, because they have ''no idea'' what type of powers Togepi has! (What ''is'' Togepi's power, anyway?)
* At the beginning of ''Battle Aboard The St. Anne'' there is an extended scene where Team Rocket are hyping up the gang to go on the ship. After their speech, Ash turns to Misty and says "Do you know anyone who says 'radical' anymore?"
* The Ditto from "Ditto's Mysterious Mansion". When Jessie demands that it turn into a Dratini, [[{{Troll}} it turns into the book the Dratini is pictured in instead]].
** Just before that, Jessie shows Ditto a photo of her very first true love whom she wants to see as an adult. Ditto transforms into the boy in the photo without even making him look like an adult, and even LICKS Jessie's face! Even James and Meowth can't help but crack up, even if they have to get bitch slapped for it.
* In "Who Gets To Keep Togepi?", Team Rocket temporarily gets ahold of the unhatched Togepi's egg. Meowth cares for it like it was his own child, but James constantly makes crass comments and jokes about eating it, which leads up to this:
-->'''Meowth:''' ''(polishing the egg with a cloth)'' Rise and shine, my little eggy-poo. Meowth's gonna make you nice and shiny 'cause we got a lot of inca-batin' to do.
-->'''James:''' ''(hands Meowth a plate with scrambled eggs on it)'' Here.
-->'''Meowth:''' What's this?
-->'''James:''' Your scrambled eggs.
-->'''Meowth:''' ''(turns furious, then hits James with a frying pan)'' I told you ta lay off the E-G-G-S! How could ya be so insensitive, ya numbskull?!
* The first episode has this gem.
--> '''Ash:''' Is it because you don't like me?
--> '''Pikachu:''' ''(nods his head)'' Pika Pika.
--> '''Ash:''' Well I like you a lot. And since you're the first Pokémon I'm training, don't you think you could be a little nicer and open your mouth and tell me what's wrong?
--> '''Pikachu:''' ''([[LiteralMinded opens his mouth, you can see his teeth]])'' CHAAAAAAAAAAAA!
--> '''Ash:''' Uh. that's not...exactly...[[LiteralMetaphor what I meant]]...
** Pikachu refusing to get inside his Pokeball. In addition, Delia misinterprets his actions as playing catch with Ash.
** When Delia mentions how Pikachu is a little weird, Pikachu smirks mischievously (complete with a speech bubble with a skull and crossbones appearing over him), and he promptly shocks the crap out of everyone present.
* From "Clefairy and the Moon Stone": "Gary was here. Ash is a loser!"
** [[BerserkButton "Oooh, that Gary! I'LL SHOW YOU!!!!!!!"]]
* From "The Punchy Pokémon", Team Rocket go into their motto. James, exhausted from carrying Jessie on his shoulders, collapses halfway through his final line.
* In Hypno's debut episode, we have Misty accidentally catching Psyduck. She trips and a pokeball falls out of her bag. The Psyduck just touches it with its beak and immediately gets captured.
** This exchange at the sight of Magikarp that has basically been rendered comatose.
-->'''Nurse Joy:''' Even Magikarp is affected, and usually it's so full of life.\\
(''the poor fish flops over, completely still\\
'''Misty:''' The ''magic'' has disappeared!\\
'''Ash:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Looks like it's ready for the deli counter]].
* From "The Tower of Terror", Charmander uses his flame powers to light a candle but accidentally torches Brock in the process. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkUvWU3z5MM Brock then yells at Charmander]]. And even Pikachu can't help but laugh.
** What makes it even funnier is that it's vaguely similar to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qyE2cbplGc this moment from "The Muppet Christmas Carol"]].
** The Ghost Pokemon expressions from the same episode. Especially the eyeballs.
* In "Make Room For Gloom", after a confident Florinda thanks Brock for helping her believe in herself and feels ready to run her family's nursery, as long as a special someone is around to share it all with her, a lovesick Brock turns his back to her and goes into a blissful spiel with quite amusing results.
-->'''Brock:''' This is so sudden! I've always dreamed of having somebody like you, someone as kind and talented and beautiful as you are, and now you've made all my dreams come true! Yes, Florinda, darling, yes! I'll share my life with you! ''(turns around to find himself looking into Ash's eyes instead of Florinda's)''
-->'''Ash:''' Hey, Brock, are you talking to somebody?
-->'''Misty:''' I think maybe you had a little too much of that antidote.
-->''(Brock turns to see that Florinda has already proposed to her true love, Potter.)''
-->'''Brock:''' ''(visibly distraught)'' Rejected by the one girl I've loved! I'll never find another one like her again!
-->'''Ash:''' ''(trying to console him)'' Cheer up, Brock, you'll find plenty of other girls to reject you!
* Anything involving the Gastly from "The Ghost at Maiden's Peak", from the Venustoise illusion, to the quip about making some quick bucks by helping the spirit maiden. Plus, this exchange:
-->'''Gastly:''' What is that?
-->'''Misty:''' It's a cross! I also got garlic, a hammer and a stake!
-->'''Gastly:''' Ugh! What do I look like, a vampire or something?
* "Mystery at the Lighthouse": When Krabby's Poké Ball vanishes, Misty and Brock explain to Ash that it was sent to the place he got his Pokédex from. When Ash realizes via flashback where it is...
-->'''Professor Oak:''' HERE'S YOUR PIKACHUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
** Even better, when Ash goes and contacts Professor Oak about his Crabby, [[EatTheDog he's greeted by Prof. Oak eating a small cooked crab on the monitor]]
* ''Haunter vs. Kadabra:'' As Sabrina's father is explaining his daughter's backstory to Ash, he shows him a picture of their family.
-->'''Ash:''' Sabrina had this picture of her family in her room. If you have the same picture, then that must mean you're...
-->'''Sabrina's father:''' ''(thinking)'' Does he know? He must have figured it out by now. After everything I've said, he must have figured out the truth about Sabrina and me. He must realize that I'm Sabrina's father.
-->'''Ash:''' Then that must mean you're a photographer!
-->'''Sabrina's father:''' ''(flies off the bench)''
** Haunter defeats Sabrina...through comedy routines.
** Later, after Ash has defeated Sabrina...
-->'''Ash:''' But if you've known Sabrina since she was a little girl, then that means...
-->'''Sabrina's father:''' So you figured it out, eh?
-->'''Ash:''' Then you must have taken her baby pictures too!
-->'''Sabrina's father:''' ''(facefault)'' HOW DENSE CAN A PERSON BE?!?
-->''(Ash just looks at him, clueless; he recomposes himself by clearing his throat)''
** Also Haunter's attempts at making Team Rocket laugh.
* In "Ash Catches A Pokemon", when Ash, Misty, Pikachu, and Caterpie are settling down for the night, Misty tells Ash to shut up while they're preparing for bed. Ash's response? "[[SarcasmMode Don't let the bed bugs bite!]]" The way Ash delivers that comeback is [[NarmCharm hilarious]]!
** Misty to Ash: "Pidgeotto is a bird! Caterpie is a worm! Birds ''eat'' worms, Mr. Pokémon master!"
* On their way to the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town, Brock accidentally pulls Pikachu's tail, and gets electrocuted and scares Misty. Then Ash says it scared him too, enough to turn him into a ghost, and turns around with his face replaced by a skull. The others are not amused to the point where Pikachu electrocutes him.
* When the trio and Pikachu arrive on an island full of turtle Pokémon, Ash and Squirtle examine a Blastoise shell and immediately fall asleep. In an attempt to wake them up, Misty orders Pikachu to thundershock them. Ash and Squirtle are not happy.
** Later, when they're saving Team Rocket, Jessie is less than thankful.
-->'''Jessie''': Just what do you think you're doing?!
-->'''Misty''': Don't you give us any attitude, we just saved your slimy lives!
-->'''James''': Well, I'm grateful.
-->'''Jessie''': They're our mortal enemies! How dare you be grateful they saved your life!
* Anytime James calls out Victreebel and ends up getting attacked.
* The episode featuring the Bulbasaur reserve (the outer area of which was littered with traps) featured this LampshadeHanging exchange from Team Rocket after they fall into one of the traps:
-->'''Jessie''': This is the third hole we've fallen into! How come whenever we make traps, no one falls into them?! We always fall into theirs!
-->'''James''': Well, I thought this one was pretty strategic in its placement.
-->'''Jessie''': I'M GLAD YOU'RE ENJOYING IT!
-->'''Meowth''': ''(meows painfully)''
* In ''A Chansey Operation,'' Ash and friends are made to assist a doctor in treating Pokémon that had been injured in a car accident. Unfortunately, some of the patients aren't very cooperative.
-->'''Doctor Proctor:''' ''(reading from a card)'' Dodrio, a Triple Bird Pokémon. Its three heads represent joy, sorrow and anger.
-->'''Ash:''' Uh...all three heads look pretty angry to me.
* In ''Bad to the Bone'' Meowth's attempts to...cheer up a trainer when his Marowak leaves him, by telling the trainer that he still might be able to get a ticket to WATCH the Pokemon League... ''when it's their team that stole his badges in the first place.''
* In ''The Ultimate Test'' Ash's reactions to finding out during the battle portion he's got the same Pokemon Team Rocket uses and yells at Todd (Snap) not to take any pictures when Todd snaps a picture of him with Weezing.
** Also, this gem during the second test. The second test is to test on their ability to recognize a Pokémon. When the [[{{Troll}} Instructor]] gives them their first question, which shows a round shadow...
--->'''Instructor''': Identify this Pokémon!\\
'''Ash''': This is going to be a breeze for me. It's a Voltorb!\\
'''James''': Ah it's simple. [[WhatAnIdiot It's a Pokéball without a doubt.]]\\
'''Jessie''': It's obviously an Electrode.\\
'''Instructor''': And the answer is a ... (picture reveals a Jigglypuff) Jigglypuff, seen from above!\\
'''All Three''': [[FaceFault HUH?!]]
*** To make this even funnier, the same trick was pulled in one of the mini-games in VideoGame/HeyYouPikachu
*** Special note if you look at the Instructor's expression upon revealing the answer.
** Ash not knowing what moves Meowth has, and Team Rocket's Meowth's angry reaction.
*** Before that, Ash manages to win his first round using Weezing in the third exam. Cut to Jesse and James anxiously taking notes on how to battle.
* In the episode ''Friend and Foe Alike'', Team Rocket are eavesdropping on a conversation between Ash and Nurse Joy regarding Richie.
-->'''Jessie:''' There was something that prevented me from having friends when I was a little girl.
-->'''James:''' '''*laughs*''' It must have been your personality!
-->'''Jessie:''' '''*nodding*''' Uh-huh! It must have been my... '''*beat*''' '''''HUH?!?!?'''''
-->*'''Jessie hits James over the head with a large paper fan*'''
* When the Celadon Gym is set on fire thanks to Team Rocket, everyone's frantically trying to put out the fire and Pikachu uses a watering can to extinguish a flower.
* In "The Problem with Paras", the entire premise is funny given that Paras is a total wimp that has MinorInjuryOverreaction, leading to Pikachu and Squirtle attempting to fight as weakly as possible. And there is also the parts after Meowth wanting to help Cassandra with evolving Paras, and insulting Arbok and Weezing in the process. Not to mention a CrowningMomentofAwesome with Paras landing a NonLethalKO sucker punch on Charmeleon.
* At the end of "The Bridge Bike Gang", Chopper and Tyra give Ash and Misty honorary nicknames as thanks for their deeds.
-->'''Chopper''' ''(to Ash)'': From now on, we're calling you "Awesome Ash"!
-->'''Tyra''' ''(to Misty)'': "Mighty Misty"!
-->'''Ash''' ''(bashful)'': Aw gee, I'm not ''that'' awesome...
-->'''Brock''' ''(To Tyra, grabbing her hand)'': You could call me "Honey"! *''gets smacked''*
** How about the Irony of the situation that they are in; Ash destroyed Misty's Bike early in the series, and now they have to go through a bridge that NEEDS said bike.
* In "Go West, Young Meowth", when Team Rocket decides to visit the movie theater and SING their motto to the kids and Delia, all for the sake of preserving musical theater!
* There was an episode where Ash and company save Team Rocket from drowning. Pikachu snaps his fingers in disappointment when Meowth was the last to revive. Meaning, [[CharacterizationMarchesOn Pikachu actually wished for Meowth to bite the dust]].
** Then there is the reaction to them getting up all ghouly-looking. The Three heroes and Pikachu all scream and yell 'ZOMBIES!' with both Jessie and James looking insulted.
* ''The Song of Jigglypuff'' introduces one of the great running gags of the show. Jigglypuff sings its lullaby which puts everyone to sleep. Jigglypuff gets mad and pulls out a marker to draw on everyone's faces.
** Team Rocket tries to record Jigglypuff's voice so they can weaponize the lullaby. Not only do they fall asleep during the recording, they [[EpicFail only manage to record their own snores]].
** Ash and his friends try to see if any of their Pokemon can listen to Jigglypuff's song without falling asleep. At first it seems Psyduck is the only one who can stay awake. Turns out it was just sleeping with its eyes open.
** At the end of the episode, Jigglypuff starts following Ash and his crew around. In every subsequent appearance, it comes out of nowhere to sing its song. Cue MassOhCrap from ''everyone'' when it shows up.
*** How long did Jigglypuff follow around Ash? All the way to ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U3CqKc4iJI Hoenn.]]''
** Team Rocket's new song, which doubles as a CrowningMusicOfAwesome.
** Also in the beginning, when the trio runs into trouble with some of the citizens of Neon Town. Although it's cut from syndication, yet kept on the [=VHS=] release of the episode, James has a man jump on top his head and smack him and Jessie ends up [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar getting spanked by a large, fat woman.]]
* In "The Breeding Center Secret", after meeting Cassidy and Butch for the first time and hearing their copycat motto, Meowth complains that it's theirs and how [[HypocriticalHumor "It took us months to find a motto we could swipe!"]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Orange Islands]]
* Even though it's been used for {{Shipping}} proof, this exchange from ''Poké Ball Peril'' is hilarious. To set it up, Ash and Misty, who are traveling without Brock, have been captured by Team Rocket, and the TerribleTrio takes notice:
-->'''James''': Jessie, I think we've accidentally captured a pair of very romantic creatures in our little cage!
-->'''Jessie''': (making lovey-dovey eyes) You mean? Daaaaawwww!
-->'''Meowth''': Dey're loveboids!
-->'''Ash''': (Ash and Misty look at each other for a second before turning away, blushing) You're crazy!
-->'''Misty''': Crazy is right! [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend Never in a million years!]]
-->'''Jessie''': (Jessie and James are doubled over while Meowth is rolling on the floor) But you're blushing!
-->'''James''': Kissy, kissy!
** Jigglypuff randomly appears on the blimp. Team Rocket, just from seeing it's mouth open, know it's going to sing and frantically grab their parachutes, slowly falling asleep before fainting out of the door.
* From ''The Lost Lapras'', after Tracey interrupts Team Rocket's menacing abduction of a Lapras because he wants to interview Meowth:
-->'''Jessie''': Who are you, anyway?
-->'''Tracey''': Oh, sorry. My name's Tracey, I'm a Pokémon watcher!
-->'''Jessie''': O-kay, if you're a Pokémon watcher, then you won't mind stepping aside and ''watching'' us steal this Lapras.
* A hilarious yet shocking case of GettingCrapPastTheRadar in Lorelei's showcase episode..."I know what she's doing! It's...it's...''perverse psychology!''"
** In the same episode Team Rocket interrupts Lorelei's lecture and suggest her to try and sell them. As it happens, ''she already does it''.
* The episode when the gang returns to Pallet Town after their adventures in the Orange Islands. Instead of ''A Tents Situation'', it should be renamed to ''[[MemeticMolester Muk]] raeps EVERYBODY''.
** Whenever Professor Ivy is mentioned to Brock. He goes sulking.
** Ash even does that when Misty mentions Gary's name!
** When Team Rocket bound and captured them, Meowth's curiosity got the better of him, and continues to pester Brock on why he left [[NoodleIncident Professor Ivy]]; Brock managed to get out of his bonds and reappear on Team Rocket's high wire!
** Ash presents his mother with his Orange League trophy. What does she do with it? ''Use it as a dumbbell''.
* In ''The Stun Spore Detour'', Jessie is paralyzed and bedridden after getting stunned by a Vileplume, but somehow manages to work up enough energy to return to her hyper violent self and starts stomping James. Then she weakly crawls back into bed.
* Pikachu and Meowth end up stuck together in ''Bound for Trouble'' and Pikachu wastes little time showing Meowth who's in charge. Meowth tries to act chumly so he can trick him and take him to Giovanni only for Pikachu to give him a good shock to let him know Meowth's not as smart as he thinks he is.
* Snorlax in ''Snack Attack''. Anything it does make this episode funny. [[note]] Much like 'Wake Up Snorlax!' episode where the gang tries to wake Snorlax up, the gang and Team Rocket does it in reverse. [[/note]]
** Snorlax casually pushes off Ruby's (the owner of the Seven Grapefruit Islands) staffs while eating the grapefruits.
** Ash and the gang decides to harvest all the grapefruits in that island. Unfortunately, Snorlax rushes to their stash and eats it. By closer look, you can see Snorlax is very happy before pushing Ash off when Ash attempts to stop it.
** Fed up, Ash uses his Bulbasaur to stop Snorlax. Unfortunately, Bulbasaur's Vine Whip attack makes Snorlax eats faster and Bulbasaur's Razor Leaf manages to cut open the grapefruit for it before Bulbasaur gets flatten by Snorlax's Body Slam.
--->'''Misty''': [[DeadpanSnarker Bulbasaur is sure handy in the kitchen.]]
** After Snorlax manages to eat ALL of the grapefruit in the island, the gang [[TemptingFate are relieved since Snorlax has nowhere to go.]] Cue to Snorlax jumping into the sea and does a butterfly stroke, swimming towards the second island.
** At the second island, when Snorlax eats Team Rocket's stolen grapefruit loot, the gang including Team Rocket tries to stop it. However Squirtle, Arbok, and Victreebel are flattened by Snorlax's Body Slam, Lickitung's tongue is used as Snorlax's napkin, while Goldeen is nearly being eaten by Snorlax.
** And of course the many many EpicFail of the gang and Team Rocket trying to make Snorlax falls asleep.
* Ash disguises as an apple in ''Pokemon Food Fight!'' in order to lure Snorlax up the mountain. Naturally Snorlax catches up to him and tries to take a bite only to throw Ash to the ground.
-->'''Ash:''' I think I broke my core.
** Also Snorlax attempting to eat a trainer's Gloom!
* In [=EP098=] ''A Way Off Day Off'', Team Rocket enters on a zip line. Both Jessie and James [[WatchOutForThatTree crash into a tree]], and deliver a NonSequiturThud. Then Meowth swings in and snaps them out of it with Fury Swipes.
-->'''Jessie:''' Team Blocket... rest off at the lead of spite... tonight...\\
'''James:''' Surrender now or prepare... to surrender now... surrender now...\\
'''Meowth:''' ''Meowth! Say the motto riiiiight!''
* In the episode ''In The Pink'' Jesse sends out Lickitung to capture some Nidoran and it chases them into a Cave. Only to [[AttackAttackRetreatRetreat run out terrified]] past them wondering what's wrong. Then, The Nidorans come out, along with a [[SummonBiggerFish Nidoking]].
* The RunningGag of Jigglypuff appearing, singing, making everyone fall asleep and starting to draw on people's faces with its marker.
* * The Wacky Watcher, which is a filler episode about Magikarp...that just so happens to throw in a [[MarxBrothers Groucho Marx]] expy as the titular professor. Cue 22 minutes of goofy wordplay and slapstick.
* When Team Rocket tried to steal Pikachu when Ash met the Gym Leader Dany, Danny just casually takes the suction cup off and later gives them a heavy rock wen they tried again. Just how casual he acted was hilarious.
* In ''Pikachu Re-Volts'' Cassidy and Bill use a Drowzee to hypnotize Pokemon into fighting for them. Jessie and James stumble on their operation and the two teams show their disdain as only Team Rocket agents can: '''''[[https://youtu.be/cEA94hbaKcA?t=52s DUELING. MOTTOS.]]'''''
** The capper is Meowth's completely deadpan expression through the whole thing. [[spoiler: Granted, he was hypnotized but still.]]
* ''The Rivalry Revival'', the final episode of this season, gives us Team Rocket targeting Gary. They go through their motto, after each of James' lines, it cuts to Gary showing no reaction whatsoever, and then at the end, [[spoiler: it shows that Gary had gone down the other path all along, and presumably didn't even know that they were there in the first place]].
** Later, when they disguise themselves as news reporters, and refer to Ash and his friends as a "vibrant group of youngsters... mostly." cue Professor Oak's AngryEyebrows.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Johto League]]
* [[http://serebii.net/anime/pictures/johto/136ps3.shtml Look at what Charizard's been through]] and then [[http://serebii.net/anime/pictures/johto/136ps4.shtml look at his face]]. Crosses into MoodWhiplash, however, considering [[BreakTheHaughty what the episode's about,]] and [[PutOnABus what will happen]].
** A funnier face is the one he makes when he realises that by taking flight, he knocked Ash and Pikachu off his back. Ash calls him back and Charizard looks back to see what he wants... only to see Ash on his bum on the ground. Charizard then makes a ''hilarious'' face he never makes at any other time.
* Brock's incredibly, ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oawUi9s3ENE incredibly]]'' lame {{pun}} in ''[[Anime/PokemonMewtwoReturns Mewtwo Returns]]''.
* From ''Hocus Pokémon'': Ash gets turned into a Pikachu. Enough said.
* ''The Fortune Hunters:''
** Misty reacting with hostility when the Pokémon fortune book lists her as a Gyarados type, whereas Ash and Brock are listed as Bellsprout and Onix types, respectively.
--->'''Misty:''' That fortune stuff's a lotta baloney!\\
'''Ash:''' That's ''very'' accurate.\\
'''Brock:''' It's amazing how a book like that could be so--\\
(''Misty flies into a rage'')\\
'''Misty:''' YOU'D BETTER NOT SAY YOU AGREE!\\
'''Brock:''' (''unassuredly'') It's amazing how a book like that could be so WRONG!
** As the three walk down the road, Misty continues ranting about the fortune book.[[note]]Look who's talking, Misty...[[/note]]
--->'''Misty:''' That book is totally bogus! I should be ''anything'' but a Gyarados type! Out of all the water Pokémon, Gyarados is the only one that's ''not'' like me!\\
'''Ash:''' Come on now, Misty, don't take it so--\\
'''Misty:''' Well, how should I take it, Mr. Bellsprout?! (''examines book'') It says here that Gyarados types are stubborn loners who rarely listen to the wise advice of others! They are frequently grouchy and [[HypocriticalHumor irritable and lose their temper!]] Now how would ''you'' like it if it said that about you?!
** [[CrossesTheLineTwice And this doesn't stop there.]] When they're relaxing at the Pokemon center, a boy ask Misty if she's willing to trade his Gyarados for her Horsea due to [[TooDumbToLive the love-struck Brock telling Nurse Joy about Misty's fortune.]] The look of Ash's face sells upon hearing Brock's words. Cue to Misty's anger, crushing her cup and goes after Brock.
---> '''Boy''': [[RuleOfThree She really is like a Gyarados.]]
** James, the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzfg0aBE19Y flaming Moltres]]! Eric Stuart even commented that it was his favorite line he did with the show.
** Kudos to [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Jessie's line]]. Jessie's facial expression during that line is ''priceless.''
--->'''Jessie:''' I think that costume came right out of his closet.
** The ham that James unleashes is such that Jessie and Meowth can only trail after him in bemusement ''for the entire episode''. This is perhaps the only time anyone listened to James until "Best Wishes".
--->'''James:''' We shall hold our heads high and proudly march through the front portal. Make way!
** The RunningGag of people getting Biff's name wrong, flying him into a hissy fit. Not just this episode either. At least one episode has someone get it right, [[ReflexiveResponse Bert still goes in a rage before catching himself.]]
* "Air Time" has a wonderful bit of Fridge Funny: Jessie and James are mistaken for two ventriloquists hired to perform on a ''radio'' show.
* Another tiny moment from "Carrying On", when a group of carrier Pidgey are named as Wingy, Dingy, Flingy... and Norman.
* In "Moving Pictures", Brock, in response to having to hear a story with Ash, Snap, and Misty from an old lady, said probably one of the funniest and most OOC lines IN THE ENTIRE SERIES.
-->'''Snap:''' We're stuck now.\\
'''Ash:''' She's getting ready to tell her whole life story.\\
'''Misty:''' We'll be here forever...\\
'''Brock:''' I wonder if she has any string cheese.
* The [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:ValleyShipping.png mere picture]] that instantly launched [[IdiosyncraticShipNaming ValleyShipping]] where Charla cuddles up to Ash's Charizard while the latter is standing tall and proud. Makes a person burst into laughing fits just ''looking'' at it!
* ''The Dunsparce Deception'': Team Rocket try a scam to steal the town's Dunsparce and it involves putting on an amateur stage production called ''Dunsparce Vs. Moltres'', with Meowth and James playing the titular roles respectively. Unlike James the Flaming Moltres from earlier, this display has [[StylisticSuck weaker production values]] than a SchoolPlay.
** The climax of the play is James the Moltres attempting to do a Sky Attack on Meowth the Dunsparce;
--->'''Jessie:''' Moltres uses a Sky Attack!
--->'''James:''' A what? Jessie, I don't even know what a "Sky Attack" is!
--->'''Jessie:''' Neither do ''they!'' Just fake it, do anything!
--->''James proceeds to pick up and throw Meowth bodily across the field''
--->'''James:''' ''SKY ATTACK!''
* In [=EP204=] ''Right On, Rhydon!'', Team Rocket try to say the motto while chowing down on apples. Both Jessie and James start choking. Even the music is off.
* In the episode, ''One Trick Phoney!'', where Team Rocket use a Battle Park (which was closed for repairs) to try and steal Pikachu, Ash's Totodile faces off against the park's Charizard, as part of a practice battle. The crowning moment of funny during that battle would have to be when the two Pokemon basically have a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Scary Face]] attack contest, with Jessie and Ash shouting at the two respective Pokemon to make their Scary Face attacks "even scarier!" and "way, way, WAY scarier than that one!", etc., etc... (to the point where the mons are straining their faces, puffing out their chests so that it looks like their lungs are about to burst, and looking slightly constipated, except with their mouths wide open)... until the mons lose balance and fall over backwards. Totodile wins the battle in the end, via a Watergun blast to the Charizard's back, regardless. But either way, Totodile's and the Charizard's "scary" facial expressions were priceless!
--> '''James:''' So who out-scared who?
--> '''Meowth:''' I'm not sure if I'd call that scary, or disturbing...
* When Misty's Poliwhirl evolves into Politoed in ''Outrageous Fortunes'', the first thing it does is shake hands with Ash's Phanpy (using its trunk, no less), Delaney's Poliwrath, and even [[FriendlyEnemy James' Victrebel]].
* In ''Just Add Water'', Misty and an unofficial Gym Leader get kidnapped by Team Rocket. When Ash and Brock track them down with Ash getting ready to face Team Rocket, Psyduck shows up and glares angrily at Team Rocket and turns around to Ash with its normal confused look, causing everyone to face fault.
* The unofficial song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEyQZJpHxnc Pokemon Christmas Bash]]" features the dub cast attempting to ''rap'' the lyrics to a Christmas-oriented song. The performances of the various actors cover the whole HamAndCheese spectrum, but special mention must be made of Rachel Lillis' performance as Misty. Her performance as Jessie isn't that bad, but Misty's voice was simply not meant to rap.
* ''A Goldenrod Opportunity'' has Pikachu bump into Clefairy. Whitney shows up and kisses Pikachu's "boo boos". Brock then slams his head against a brick wall resulting in a bump on his head and asks for his boo boo to be kissed. Misty does the "ear pull" treatment and states Whitney doesn't kiss bozos.
** When Team Rocket steal Clefairy and use an electro magnetic handcart for their getaway, they're moving so slow Pikachu is able to keep up by walking ''on its hind legs''. Once Clefairy's safe Pikachu electrocutes the train tracks sending Team Rocket's handcart speeding into a tunnel. The next episode states they crashed into a wall in Saffron City. Which is in ''Kanto.''
*** During Ash and Whitney's gym battle, Clefairy loses by using Splash via Metronome. Which makes it funnier is that nearly every time Metronome is used, it's a powerful attack. This time, it's the most useless move ever. [[note]] Misty's Togepi uses Splash via Metronome in the late Orange Islands episode "The Underground Round Up" though no one realizes this. [[/note]]
* Brock falling in love with all of the kimono sisters, (except Sakura) and instead of getting dragged away by the ear, Misty drags him away by the nose. In the sequel episode, Misty is too busy helping Sakura foil Team Rocket's plans leaving Ash to fulfill her duties.
* In ''The Mother of All Battles'', Tyranitar gets captured by poachers. They're about to do the same thing to Larvitar, but Ash takes the hit and gets stuck in a sleeping bag-esque trap. Brock and Misty ignore Ash to talk to a Pokémon Ranger while Pikachu pokes Ash with a stick.
* In ''The Wayward Wobbuffet'', Ash's gang and Team Rocket are in hot pursuit of Wobbuffet, who has a key they need. Eventually, Jessie and Ash jump on a speed boat he's riding in. He ends up [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength breaking off the steering wheel and throttle]], taking them for a ride.
** Earlier in the episode, he has a conversation with a Quagsire. It looks like he's asking for directions.
* When Brock gets sick in ''Sick Daze'', Misty takes over his cooking duties for the day. She accidentally puts too much sugar in the cooking pot, tries to balance it out with some salt, adds too much of ''that'' as well, and goes back to sugar. [[CordonBleughChef She then starts dumping random ingredients into the pot.]] The end result, "Misty's Mystery Stew (with 47 secret ingredients)", is something not even [[BigEater Ash]] will touch.
** Jessie later gets a hold of the stew, and loves it.
* In ''The Totodile Duel'', Ash and Misty are about to throw their Lure Balls with a horizontal split screen between them. Misty starts [[BreakingTheFourthWall pounding on the split screen and Ash hits it back]].
* In the next episode ''The Double Trouble Header'' we get this exchange:
--> '''Casey:'''The Electabuzz will beat everybody.
--> '''Ash:''' The Electabuzz couldn't beat an egg.
--> '''Casey:''' Oh yeah? What about the great hitters on the Electabuzz?
--> '''Ash:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Those guys aren't hitters. I've seen better swings on a playground]].
* We all know the RunningGag of Misty dragging Brock by the ear whenever he mets a pretty girl correct? Well in ''Fossil Fools'' Brock gets revenge when she's gushing to a Scientist about Water Pokemon and drags HER off by the ear.
* In ''Forest Grumps'' after escaping The Ursaring and their Pokemon saving them from a falling bridge They and Team Rocket are celebrating until they remember their enemies. They immediately leapt to different sides. Ash, Misty, Brock, and their Pokemon on one side and on the other Jessie, James, Meowth, and...Psyduck?!
--> '''Misty:''' Get over here! You're on our side!!
--> Psyduck waddles back over while Team Rocket looks on confused.
* In the last episode of Master Quest and Johto as a whole, Team Rocket unsurprisingly tries stealing Pikachu again. Jessie, James, and Wobbuffet end up landing on one truck while Pikachu and Meowth land on another. They taunt Ash with their getaway, and then the tucks go in different directions. Later, Pikachu and Meowth meet a Haunter who attacks them for little to no reason. Meowth retaliates by using [[NoSell Fury Swipes]]. It works about as well as you'd expect.
* In "The Heartache of Brock", a girl actually falls in LoveAtFirstSight with Brock, who's flabbergasted. Temacu (which comes from '''Te'''ddiursa, '''Ma'''reep, and '''Cu'''bone and is spelt correctly) starts talking about her wedding to Brock, with him in a white suit and her in a pale pink dress. Ash and Misty are watching them talk, and are talking among themselves:
--> '''Ash''': Wow, imagine Brock, ''married''?!
--> '''Misty''': You and I will be married someday, too.
--> '''Ash''': *nodding* Mh-hmm.... [[DelayedReaction HUH?!?]]
* ''Houndoom's Special Delivery' is basically [[{{WesternAnimation/Animaniacs}} Buttons and Mindy]] in Poke-form, staring Togepi and a beleaguered Houndoom.
* ''Whichever Way the Wind Blows'' has Team Rocket trying to steal a bunch of grass Pokemon. But they blew all their budget on anti-stun spore protection, leading to a....rather underwhelming method of capture.
-->'''James''': An incredible Vileplume of Doom robot!
-->'''Misty''': Vileplume of Doom?
-->'''James''': Not really.
-->'''Meowth''': With a huge nuclear-powered Bellossom Wrangler robot!
-->'''Misty''': Bellossom Wrangler robot?
-->'''Meowth''': I wish.
-->'''Jessie''': Actually, [[ExpospeakGag it's a multi-flexible-digital-analog-recovery device.]]
-->'''Ash''': What?
-->'''Misty''': ...that looks just like a bag.
-->'''James''': Okay, so it's not exactly high tech!
-->'''Meowth''': Whaddya want? We used up our whole budget on anti-stun spore protection!
** And the aforementioned anti-stun spore masks? [[EpicFail Team Rocket forgot to plug them in.]]
** After Team Rocket's plan goes predictably sideways, they blast off with this exchange.
-->'''Jessie''': Our foolproof protection plan...
-->'''James''': Had no protection and no plan!
-->'''Meowth''': [[DeadpanSnarker But it did have the "fool" part.]]
* ''Due's and Don'ts'' begins with Team Rocket attacking Ash and Co...''as American Football'' players. ''Complete with ball and goal posts!'' Even by their standards, the entire setup is just so outlandish that it's a borderline BigLippedAlligatorMoment.
** Their motto is also sure to get some chuckles out of any NFL fans.
-->'''Jessie''': Prepare for trouble, don't drop the ball.
-->'''James''': And make it double, with an offsides call.
-->'''Jessie''': To protect our team, we won't call it quits.
-->'''James''': We unite our runners with a fourth down blitz.
-->'''Jessie''': To denounce the evils of an eighth-round pick.
-->'''James''': To extend our reach with a 3-point kick.
-->'''Jessie''': Jessie.
-->'''James''': James.
-->'''Jessie''': Team Rocket does one for the gipper at the speed of light.
-->'''James''': No time-outs, the clock is running, so let's fight, fight, fight.
-->'''Meowth''': Touchdown! That's right.
** After getting blasted off earlier than usual, Team Rocket decides to "be democratic" and ''vote on who is to blame for their constant failures.'' This goes about as well as you'd expect.
-->'''Meowth''': If that's the Democratic way, I'm voting Republican.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Hoenn League]]
* The ''Advance Generation'' episode ''Berry, Berry Interesting'': there's never a serious moment here. Best part is the moral: never allow [[LethalChef May]] to make food for the Pokémon.
** Before this May's first try at Pokéblocks in ''Pokéblock, Stock, and Berry'' didn't turn out so well. May's Bulbasaur and Skitty shows signs of disgust while Combusken lying face-down on the ground. Although, Beautifly seems to liked them...
*** In this episode however... May's Pokéblocks manages to KO'ed Ash and his friends' ''entire pokémon team'' (with the exception of Snorunt). Not even [[spoiler:Tobias and his team of legendaries]] flattened them that quickly.
*** "Oi! Those were extenuating circumstances!"
** Made even funnier because Ash's Grovyle says the "vile" portion of it's name after eating one of the Pokéblocks.
** ''Jessie'' seemed to like them, too...
** From the same episode, Wobbuffet playing...''ninja'' (well, close enough, anyway).
** Also from the same episode: Munchlax being caught with a Pokeball...''inside its mouth.''
** How everyone criticizes ''May's Purple Surprise''.
-->'''Brock''': That's a very strange flavor.
-->'''Max''': I think calling it a flavor at all is going too far.
-->'''James''': There is a hint of how you say, jet fuel and an after taste of burning truck tires and for some reason, I can't seem to quite swallow it. It is my conclusion that these pokéblocks should be destroyed before anyone eats any of it by accident.
** While May is making Pokéblock, Ash runs outside to perfect Snorunt's Ice Beam. Pikachu tries following Ash but crashes into the Pokemon Center's doors as soon as they close. The doors open and Pikachu rolls out.
* ''Love, Petalburg Style'' is a mix of this, SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} and a bit of a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. It seems that throughout the episode, May and Max's dad Norman is having an affair with Nurse Joy and when everyone tries to call him out on it, he's clueless the entire time until they point it out.
* Jessie catching Seviper ''without using a single Pokémon''...and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2YWF74cCts succeeding]]!
** For those not wanting to click the link (or if the link no longer links to anything), Seviper eats a rice ball (actually called as much in the dub) Jessie wanted and then bites her hair on accident. Seviper (who all episode has been fearless) quickly realizes it did something really, really bad and displays a flawless OhCrap! face, while James and Meowth hug each other in the background, terrified. Eventually, they have to step in to stop Jessie beating it up more after it is KO'd to tell her to catch it. Jessie immediately snaps out of her anger, and Seviper just slides down in the background behind Jessie, mouth open.
--> '''James''': Poor Seviper!
--> '''Meowth''': It knows not what it's done!
--> *Jessie leaps on the terrified Seviper, screaming in rage, and scratches its face*
--> '''Meowth''': She used Fury Swipes attack!
--> '''James''': Emphasis on the Fury!
--> *Jessie kicks Seviper from above*
--> '''James''': Her unstoppable Megaton Kick!
--> '''Meowth''': And highly effective!
--> '''Seviper''': *is KO'd*
** The best part about this sequence is while Jessie is laying the smack-down on Seviper is the Hoenn Legendary Battle Theme is playing in the background during it, which makes it so much more funny as it's suggesting Jessie at that moment is on par with a legendary Pokémon.
* During one of Team Rocket's thefts at a clinic (in the AG episode ''Delcatty Got Your Tongue?''), they dress up as Swiss hikers (ridiculous accent included), with Meowth practically mummified in bandages:
-->'''Jessie''': Our precious Meowth was hurt in a [[NoodleIncident bizarre yodeling accident]]...
* [[EpicFail Jessie's first contest]] in ''All Things Bright and Beautifly''.
--> '''Jessie:''' Do this right Seviper, now go use [[WhatAnIdiot Sacred Fire]]! ''[Seviper does nothing.]''
--> '''Meowth:''' Uh oh...
--> '''James:''' I'm not sure Seviper knows how to use that attack...
--> '''Jessie:''' Well, come on! Use Sacred Fire! What are you waiting for?
** It gets even more hilarious from there. Upon realizing that Seviper can't, in fact, use Ho-Oh's signature move, she immediately tries to get Seviper to use Water Pulse, Blaze Kick, Dragon Claw, Psywave, Luster Purge, and so on. Seviper's embarrassed reactions get more and more ridiculous, ending in a *sweatdrop flood*. Finally, Meowth recommends a Poison Tail attack, which Seviper actually does...only to use it on Jessie, launching her through the roof and out of the contest arena.
* The way Corphish defeats Katie's Golduck in the Hoenn League is this and possibly its SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome -- managing to listen to Ash while confused, it swims up behind Golduck and successfully sucker punches it. Golduck retaliates and Corphish... cheerfully shakes its hand. Then uses Vice Grip to shake it harder, spin it over its head, and throw it to the other side of the battlefield to set up for the finishing [=BubbleBeam.=] That's right -- Corphish defeated an opponent by [[{{Keet}} being]] [[{{Jerkass}} itself]].
* ''In There’s No Place Like Hoenn'', May's Torchic is kidnapped by Team Rocket in their latest scheme to capture Pikachu. Ash, Pikachu, May, Norman, Caroline and Max find Team Rocket's balloon and May and Max run to the their balloon, despite Ash's warning not to.
--> '''Ash''': Not so fast, be careful -- !
--> *May and Max fall into the classic pitfall trap*
--> '''Ash''': ...There could be a trap.
--> *Norman and Caroline start rushing ahead to help them*
--> '''Norman''': I'm coming!
--> '''Caroline''': Me too!
--> '''Ash''': But there might be -!
--> *Norman and Caroline fall into another pitfall trap*
--> '''Ash (facepalm)''': ...Another trap.
** From the same episode, whenever Max forgot Ash's name, calling him "Alf".
*** Not to mention he keeps bringing up the fact that Ash lost in the second round and Ash points out it was the Victory Tournament.
*** Probably a case of OffModel, but see the look on Ash's face a few minutes later when Torchic attacks Max. He looks like he's relishing sweet revenge...
** Simply the fact that ''[[IdiotHero Ash]]'' is actually savvy about Team Rocket's pitfall traps is hilarious in-and-of-itself! The idea of Ash and his friends have actually used TR's own methods ''against them'' is a sporadic, but effective, recurring joke as well..
** When Team Rocket attacks Petalburg Gym, Pikachu tries electrocuting Team Rocket but accidentally hits Max instead.
** There's also the fact that Torchic attacks Max 4 times. The first 2 times are for Max saying Treecko was cooler while [[ParentalNeglect Norman and Caroline don't show any concern for Max]]. Then when they're fighting Team Rocket again, May tells Torchic to use "Amber" and Max tells her the attack is called "Ember" which Torchic uses on Max. Then May tells Torchic to use Peck and Torchic starts pecking Max.
*** Look closely [[AssShove where Torchic was Pecking Max...]]
** When Team Rocket escapes Petalburg Gym after stealing May's Torchic, Max examines the ground with a magnifying glass to see which way Team Rocket went. [[DumbassHasAPoint May points out that looking at the ground won't do any good since Team Rocket used a hot air balloon.]]
* The episode ''True Blue Swablu!'' has a scene in which the group try to help a injured Swablu regain its confidence to fly back by saying that May's Beautifly uses a "[[MagicFeather magic powder]]" that grants those coated in it the power of flight. After Swablu "tries" it and starts flying again, Ash and [[NotSoAboveItAll Pikachu]] attempt the same thing:
--> '''Ash''': Wow, that magic powder is great! OK Pikachu, we're up next!
--> '''Pikachu''': Pi-Pika!
--> *May, Brock and Max look at them in disbelief*
--> '''Max''': The magic powder's fake, Ash...
--> '''Ash''': No way, it looked like it was totally real...
--> '''Max''': Totally real, all purpose FLOUR!
--> '''Pikachu *blushing slightly*''': Pi!? Piiikachu...
** And from the same episode, when Team Rocket steal the Swablu, May tells it to use Sing on them. Before they all fall asleep, James tells Cacnea to use Pin Missile. It falls asleep and into the balloon basket - then unleashes the attack, resulting on Jessie and James getting their asses spiked, and Meowth and Wobbuffet having their heads needled. Needless to say, this wakes them all up, and when James tries to get Cacnea to stop, he finds that it's using the attack WHILST asleep and thus can't make it stop. Not until it damages the balloon, anyway.
** The start of the episode has Ash and the group once again lost for the umpteenth time:
--->'''May''': "We're getting pretty good at being lost!"
--->'''Max''': "So why don't we just turn around and retrace our steps?"
--->'''Brock''': "Then we'll be lost going backwards!"
** And one more from this episode is Torchic's method of waking up the group after Swablu puts Ash and friends to sleep. We see it from a first person perspective pecking them, all the while with a happy look across its face.
* A scene near the beginning of the episode ''What You Seed is What You Get!'' has Team Rocket trying to steal some watermelons from a field. Jessie notices what looks like a giant watermelon rolling towards them - only for them to find out that it's a disguised Electrode which proceeds to send them flying.
--->'''Meowth''': "TALK ABOUT YOUR FORBIDDEN FRUITTTTTTT!"
** The girl who works at that watermelon farm assumes Ash and his friends are watermelon thieves. She (and in full seriousness) lashes out at him by chomping down on a big piece of watermelon and then spitting a stream of seeds right in his face. Ash is more irritated than anything.
** The end of the episode, Ash and Pikachu trying to cheer Treecko up. When it ignores them, they decide to spit watermelon seeds at it. The end result of this is a ticked-off Treecko perfecting Bullet Seed - with Ash and Pikachu as its targets!
** When the melons Team Rocket stole are flying through the air, everyone scrambles around trying to catch them. Ash catches two of them and one lands on his head without hurting him or breaking.
* One Advanced Generation episode features (yet another) Team Rocket split, with the added twist that they come across one of Cassidy and [[AccidentalMisnaming Paunch's]] plans. Before the episode is over, they've temporarily managed to switch pairings. ''Complete with mottos.''
-->'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble, we've shuffled the deck!
-->'''Butch:''' It's not my thing, but what the heck?
-->'''Jessie:''' An evil as old as the galaxy!
-->'''Butch:''' I'm doing this all from memory!
-->'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!
-->'''Butch:''' To extend my arm with a big white glove!
-->'''Jessie:''' ''(looks angrily at Butch)'' Jessie...
-->'''Butch:''' ''[[OhCrap (realising how stupid his previous line sounded)]]'' Ah, Butch...
-->'''Jessie:''' CUT! ''(kicks Butch in the face)'' Do it right, or don't do it at all!

-->'''Cassidy:''' Prepare for trouble, it's a brand new day!
-->'''James:''' We're making it double anyway!
-->'''Mime Jr.:''' Mime mime, mime mime mime!
-->'''Cassidy:''' Let's see if I can remember my lines! An evil as old as the galaxy!
-->'''James:''' Sent here to fulfill our destiny!
-->'''Cassidy:''' To denounce the goodness of truth and love!
-->'''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!
-->'''Cassidy:''' Whenever there's a piece of pie in the universe!
-->'''James:''' [[BigWhat Of pie!?]]
-->'''Cassidy:''' ''[[RecordNeedleScratch (stopping the motto)]]'' Aaah...I goofed it, so what!?
-->'''James:''' ''(despairingly)'' Forget it...
* Team Rocket's attempts to open a Clamperl Shell in ''Clamperl of Wisdom''.
** This is followed by a classic image of chibi-Giovanni stubbing his toe on the shell.
* All of the Giovanni fantasies that Meowth comes up with to convince Jessie and James why capturing each episode's featured Pokémon is a good idea. Just...everything about them. The often ludicrous content of them (especially the ones with chibi!Giovanni), the fact that they exist at all, the fact that Jessie and James almost always find them convincing somehow...
** The Psyduck one gets special mention. Deciding to aim a little lower this time, Meowth makes up ludicrous situations for which the boss would find Psyduck useful (they all basically amount to him looking at it's dopey face and [[StrawLoser being thankful he's not it]]). Jessie and James point out the holes in all of them, until Meowth makes one final especially contrived excuse...which they suddenly find the logic in.
* From ''The Bicker the Better'', James sings a song, composed of one word, [[OverlyLongGag over and over and over]]: "Ugly Ugly Ugly~!"
** Not to mention the ''insanity'' that was Ash/James vs. May/Jessie later in the episode. Meanwhile, Brock's the CombatCommentator, Wobbuffet ''imitates his every move.''
*** Too bad we didn't get any Ash/James or May/Jessie mottos...
* ''Claydol, Big and Tall'': the gang and Team Rocket dress up in different costumes to distract the giant Claydol, and the Claydol fell in love with...'''Wobbuffet in a MAID COSTUME!!'''
** Immediately after this, an old man who was helping everyone reads them a story about ''another'' giant Claydol being stopped by a maiden who happens to look just like Wobbuffet. Cue this exchange...
-->'''Jessie:''' I'm started to have my doubts about this...
-->'''May:''' ''(deadpan)'' The text, or the guy reading?
* Harley and Jessie's contest in ''A Hurdle for Squirtle!''. Harley uses his signature Ariados, while Jessie uses Wobbuffet. With Harley smart enough to not try to attack Wobbuffet, due to [[AttackReflector Counter and Mirror Coat,]] and Wobbuffet not being able to attack at all, we have both of them getting yellow cards and then the contest turning into an insult match. And then Ariados and Harley end up dancing while twirling around Wobbuffet with String Shot. "A one-y and a two-y and a buck-o my shoe!"
** Earlier in the same episode, Jessie goes up with Cacnea in the appeals round. What does she do? Run toward Cacnea and ''hug'' it (very, very painfully), then use its Pin Missile to create a firework shower. After the judges give their reviews, the Contest emcee starts to announce the next appeal, only to stop when she realizes Jessie hasn't left the stage. She pokes her, and Jessie falls over, ''completely paralyzed.''
-->'''Nurse Joy:''' Chansey, I think we're gonna need the stretcher for this one.
* ''Gone Corphishin''': Ash, Pikachu and Brock are proudly boasting that they have "experience" in falling into Team Rocket's pitfalls. May and Max quickly point out that that's not something to brag about. Cue all three going into a CornerOfWoe!
-->''The '''shame'''.''
** Later, Team Rocket fall into the gang's trap, and when discovered they recite their motto. May and Max (again) point out that they're literally not in the right place to recite their motto. What's Team Rocket to do? Go to the same CornerOfWoe, that's what!
--->''The '''shame'''.''
* ''Once in a Mawile'': Ash's Corphish goes DoggedNiceGuy and starts wooing the episode's featured Mawile; it has to be seen to be believed. Then he faces [[HeartbrokenBadass utter rejection]], and '''Brock''', fittingly, sympathizes with him, and gives him a RousingSpeech of some sort. Then they both start ''crying'', and Torkoal just randomly joined in for no reason!
** Later in the episode, Team Rocket captures Brock's Lombre instead of Mawile, and Meowth has a hard time [[ImagineSpot imagining]] what kind of use their Boss would have with him. Fellow idiot Wobbuffet comes out, and he and Lombre "bond" through a [[BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine ''comedy routine'']].
** [[TheWikiRule Bulbapedia's]] description of the Lombre [[ImagineSpot boss fantasy]] is pretty good for a giggle.
--> ''Waking up to see its loamy face in the morning...or maybe walking out to the pool to see its...no.\\
Maybe a staring contest?
* The beginning of ''Exploud and Clear'' has May ask Ash which Pokémon he's going to use for his upcoming gym battle. Ash says that, whichever he chooses, his Pokémon are awesome. We then get to see just how "awesome" they are [[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/houen/342.shtml for the moment]]...
* In ''Off The Unbeaten Path'', Jessie and Meowth are sent [[OnceAnEpisode blasting off]] with their traditional cry. James meanwhile, off trying to win a contest fairly, overhears them, leading to this remark.
-->'''James:''' I thought I just heard someone say 'We're blasting off again' but we copyrighted that!
* ''Maxxed Out'': Skitty + Jessie's hair = '''EVERYONE''' laughs at her!
** A few minutes later she's thrown into the water and emerges as some kind of horrifying lake zombie. The Thing from Psycho Lagoon!
--->'''Meowth:''' Look away. Maybe she won't notice us.
* While trying to master Aerial Ace in Lilycove City, Swellow ends up falling down and gets its beak stuck in the ground. In the next episode, Swellow misses due to not paying attention and when it finally succeeds, it accidentally hits Team Rocket, causing them to blast off.
* During the Lilycove Contest, Jessie has Chimecho use Heal Bell, soothing the audience, but finds it boring and has Chimecho use Astonish, much to everyone's dismay, and even affects Ash, Pikachu, and Swellow who are outside. Of special note, it somehow affects Meowth and Swellow despite normal types being immune to ghost attacks.
** In the same contest, Meowth's deadpan facial expression at James' horrified reactions during Chimecho's battle against May's Combusken.
-->'''May''': Use Fire Spin!
-->'''James''': She's using fire?!
* In ''Having a Wailord of a Time'', Ash, Max, and Pikachu are supposed to be taking care of a Treecko, Mudkip, and Torchic. The Torchic attacks all the other Pokémon, runs away, and evolves into Combusken. Max suggests that they switch the Combusken with May's Torchic and imagine the result.
-->'''Fantasy Max''': Congratulations, May! Your Torchic evolved into Combusken!
-->'''Fantasy May''': Who are you kidding?! Do you think I'm some kind of idiot?! What have you two done with my Torchic?!
-->'''Ash''': That plan...
-->'''Max''': You're right, she'll see right through that one.
** They still use May's Torchic in place of the Combusken and try persuading the new trainer to pick Treecko or Mudkip instead.
* Ash getting a little bit too friendly with Old Man Swamp, to his friends' dismay and the old guy's annoyance.
-->'''Old Man Swamp''': Why just call me "Swampy", or "Old Man Swamp"!
-->'''Ash''': Old Man Swamp. Been in these parts a long time, have you, Swampy? Old Man Swamp.
-->'''Old Man Swamp''': Hey kid, you don't know me that well.
* In ''Who's Flying Now?'', Ash is busy looking for Winona at a festival. Brock gets distracted by the idea of beautiful girls. Ash pulls his ear.
* When Ash forgets to pack lunch in ''You Never Can Taillow'', Pikachu searches Ash's backpack and pulls out a carton of Pokémon food and opens it up only to discover it's empty. Pikachu has a hilarious heroic blue screen of death and starts shaking the container up and down with tears and it's eyes (oddly with a smile on his face), turns swirly-eyed (like it was KO'd in a battle), falls over, and looks like he's about to cry.
* ''Love at First Flight'': Brock's "girl-radar" '''fails''' and he starts going after... Ash in his [[RunningGag second crossdressing stint]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Battle Frontier]]
* ''Sweet Baby James'': Nanny and Pop Pop guess Jessie is James's fiancée. He has an ImagineSpot where he is acting like a housewife, and Jessie is bossing him around. For a moment, he looks ready to take his chances with Jessebelle.
* Another contender for MoodWhiplash. How do we find out Ash's Grovyle is in love? [[SomethingElseAlsoRises A flower randomly popped up]] in his [[OralFixation twig]]! Not to mention how he acted around [[http://serebii.net/anime/pictures/kanto/438ps4.shtml her]]!
* ''Wheel Of Frontier'': it's NarmCharm, since it managed to be both Funny and Awesome, but Snorlax snags a win for Ash...by literally ''flattening'' Greta's Medicham!
* ''Showdown at the Oak Corral'': While the main focus is Cassidy and Butch trying to steal every Pokemon stored at Oak's lab, at one point, the [[ConMan Magikarp salesman]] knocks on the door and tries to sell a Magikarp to [[OnlySaneMan Tracey]], [[BlatantLies promising that it will lay golden eggs.]] Tracey angrily tells him to shove it. Only when Oak appears does the salesman realize he knocked on THE WORST DOOR POSSIBLE: [[TheDreaded Professor Oak's Laboratory.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Sinnoh League]]
* A lot of things Barry says and does.
* ''Fighting Fear with Fear!'': Ash's reaction once noticing Gliscor is about to glomp him.
-->'''Dawn''': Guess old habits die hard.
** Gligar's reaction whenever it's realizing it's in the middle of a battle.
* ''Ya Want to see an Evolution!'': [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ban5uv5v72c Ash's Pikachu getting its ass whooped on by the World's Strongest Magikarp]].
* Probably not intended, but in the Japanese version of the episode where Ash gave away Gliscor, Ash was smiling as he was giving it away in a very "It's finally gone, gone, gone...I'm finally alone again..." way.
* It comes at the beginning of a heartbreaking episode, but ''Crossing Paths'' starts with a very cute scene of Piplup and Pikachu singing. Eventually, Piplup gets tired and hungry, and the twerps have to stop for lunch.
* ''Ancient Family Matters:'' A large chunk of the episode is taken up by the father-son feud (or, as Pokémopolis put it, "dick-waving contest") between Roark and Byron, which consists mainly of screaming about how they love fossils more than the other does.
** Hell, anything Byron says in ''Ancient Family Matters'' and ''Dealing With Defensive Types''. Played as an [[LargeHam ENORMOUS Ham]] by Creator/DanGreen, and constantly yelling about how much he loves things, such as his Steelix, Defense, and Fossils. Complete with [[StuffBlowingUp random explosions]] every time he proclaims his love.
** Bonus points for his opinion of Team Rocket, which emphasizes their talent at digging exquisite holes and ignores their attempt to run off with his fossils.
** After going to investigate a noise in the room where Byron keeps his fossils:
---> '''Roark:''' Somebody dug this hole!
---> '''Byron:''' I don't believe it! *long pause* I love this hole! *everyone else collapses*
---> '''Ash:''' You do?
---> '''Byron:''' Give it a good look! Look how perfectly shaped it is! How it slopes gently downwards! Whoever dug this hole has the skill and the craftsmanship of a fearsome hole-digger! *everyone else collapses* I must find the artisan who did this! Think of what it would do for my excavations!
---> '''Roark:''' Dad, you better have a look over there!
---> '''Byron:''' It can't be! *points to other hole* Closer examination reveals this hole was [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything dug by]] [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann a machine]]. *everyone else collapses*
---> '''Roark:''' Can't you see that all your fossils have been ''STOLEN''!
---> '''Byron:''' Stolen? Nooo! My precious fossil collection is gone!
** Even funnier? In the Japanese version of that scene, Byron's deep, gruff voice becomes hilariously high pitched for one sentence when he talks about how well they dug the hole.
** There's a reason he's an EnsembleDarkhorse among the Sinnoh Gym Leaders, despite having (alongside Crasher Wake) the smallest episode count of all eight of them.
* "A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!" has Team Rocket going back to the basics after discovering they've gone soft. Towards the end of the episode, they've basically won, having successfully obtained all the pokeballs from a Pokecenter and about to stomp off in their HumongousMecha. Then Pikachu zaps them, and the mecha explodes. Why? Because Meowth thought they were getting back to basics, and so made the mecha non-resistant to electric attacks.
* In a filler episode, everyone takes part in a Pokemon dressup contest, where the goal is to imitate another Pokemon using your own Pokemon. Some of the entries are just ridiculous, but Ash's Pikachu is hilarious. What does he do? Proceeds to imitate several Pokemon, including Buneary, Lotad, Seviper and Wobbuffet. Even funnier is that when Pikachu imitates Wobbuffet, they added in the Pokéball opening sound!
** Dawn's Piplup also takes part and while he's doing OK as a Weedle, he gets a little bit too excited and proceeds to use Bubblebeam...
* In ''Gotta Get A Gible!'', Gible is caught by one of Team Rocket's HumongousMecha. They jump over a canyon to get away from Ash, and he runs to the point where he ALMOST makes it over the canyon when he jumps. Ash used [=ExtremeSpeed=]! [=ExtremeSpeed=] missed!
** As a bonus, he has Pikachu [[HeadPet jump on his head]] before he makes the attempt. Tip for all Pokémon Trainers: Pikachu is ''not'' [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros a bunny hood]]!
* ''Piplup, Up and Away!'', has a rather brilliant moment that serves as part of the episode's plot. Piplup always ends up on the receiving end of Gible's failed Draco Meteor attacks, and eventually has a go at it. When Gible then decides to try to nom on Piplup's head...well, let's just say that the penguin Pokémon [[http://www.filb.de/anime/eppics/dp/164/page/2 finally]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmjSDkZXPzk snaps (Skip to 3:20 for the scene in question)]]. This is followed up by Piplup envisioning Ash and Dawn scolding Gible, and how Piplup sees Dawn.
** Not to mention that, when Piplup snaps out of its delusion, we see that it's actually been nuzzling up against ''[[HoYay Pikachu]]'', who is just sitting there with a -_- look on its face. It then pats Piplup on the head in a "there, there" sort of way, then runs off to be with Ash, Dawn, and Brock.
** Ash's Gible is pretty much a walking Funny generator. In one episode, Team Rocket are about to get into their newest Giant Mecha, only to find out that Gible ''has already eaten it''.
* In the episode ''Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!'', the main villain is a Togepi that's causing trouble. It's used Attract to take over Pikachu, Piplup, Croagunk, and Meowth. Brock's solution? Call out Happiny to smack all four of them back to normal.
** It's also hilarious because when they're all on the Rocket (just after Happiny has restored the guys to their senses), Happiny and Togepi have the baby Pokémon equivalent to a ''cat-fight'' (while everyone else is trying to get control of the rocket).
** When Togepi uses Attract, it also hits Jessie's Yanmega. The attack doesn't work, and once Brock explains that Attract only works on targets of the opposite sex, Jessie freaks out about the fact that her Pokémon is a female. Yanmega ''blushes in confirmation''.
* Paul's jerkassery can be so deliberate and mean that sometimes it's [[ComedicSociopathy just plain hilarious.]] In one episode, he's trying to capture a wild Drapion when Ash's Gligar comes flying toward him, unable to stop itself; whereas Ash would try to catch it, [[JerkAss Paul simply moves out of the way]], and Gligar [[http://pokemonepisode.org/episode-546-chim-charred/ flies into the rock that Paul had been standing in front of.]] Look for it at 4:05.
* In the ending to ''For The Love Of Meowth!'', for the sake of his Glameow love interest, [[spoiler:Meowth takes down Seviper, Infernape, Togekiss, and Yanmega ''using Fury Swipes''.]] Then [[spoiler:Glameow evolves into Purugly, and when Meowth figures it out, various things break down, such as a building, a big heart, and even a statue of himself!]] Hilarious.
** Earlier, Meowth tries to convince Jessie and James to get Glameow from the trainer using a hastily-created Giovanni fantasy. Even they immediately point out the holes in it.
* ''Dawn's Early Night:'' Ash crashes headlong into the door after Nando tells him that Fantina isn't available for a Gym Battle. And all of his Pokémon do it too.
* From ''An Old Family Blend!'':
-->'''Barry''': "Yeah?! Well, that means it's your fault! I want a fine in ten seconds! Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four-"
** Faced with Team Rocket's HumongousMecha, Ash decided to call on his Snorlax to literally take it down (since Ash used a similar tactic a hundred episodes back, during the beginning of the Battle Frontier saga). Then they found out that Snorlax had ''gone to sleep''. That's not the hilarious part; what's really hilarious was that Snorlax really did take the mecha down (albeit temporarily), by ''rolling over it''.
** Once Team Rocket's been taken care of, Ash asks for the rest of his Pokémon, cue Glalie freezing him and Torkoal thawing him out, with a Flamethrower [[RumpRoast in a questionable spot]].
** Poor Bulbasaur. The only one of the originals to appear, made worse since it involves him getting assaulted by Heracross, ''again''!
* From ''Where No Togepi Has Gone Before'' after [[spoiler:Rayquaza blasts Team Rocket's spaceship (with everyone aboard) and the emergency parachute is incinerated]]:
-->'''Ash:''' [[OhCrap Uh oh.]]
-->'''Dawn:''' Are we...?
-->'''Brock:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Gonna fall? Yes.]]
-->'''Team Rocket:''' [[CasualDangerDialogue OK, all together now!]]
-->''*everyone screams their heads off*''
* Gliscor's antics in the episode ''Doc Brock''; from volunteering to be the one to fetch Brock (Staravia got selected instead), and Brock attempting to carry it on the back (too heavy, so Brock had to leave it behind, promising to go back to Gliscor later). But then, the gang forgot all about Gliscor until the ''[[BrickJoke very end of the episode!]]''
** It's even funnier when Ash [[BreakingTheFourthWall interrupts the narrator's closing monologue]] to remind the audience that "we forgot Gliscor!"
* On several occasions during the Diamond & Pearl seasons, Cynthia is shown to be rather...indecisive when it comes to snacks. The first time this happens, it prompts Meowth to comment: "Imagine her at the grocery store!"
** By the time of the league tournament, Team Rocket ''harnesses it'' by turning her indecisiveness into CelebrityEndorsement for their shop. Later, she's shown eating an ice cream bar, [[EroticEating which visibly interests Mr. Goodshow more than the actual match]].
* ''Top-Down Training'' has Croagunk doing his usual "job" when Brock goes to flirt with Cynthia, but then Cynthia merely stops him with a quick glance. Croagunk ''blushed''.
* ''All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!'' has James try to use Mime Jr.'s Teeter Dance to stop our heroes from chasing them in their hot air balloon. It ends up confusing Dustox and Meowth instead - and Meowth is the one steering the balloon! It's also tied with the following:
-->'''Meowth:''' First the movie short, then TV, and now this!
* ''Bucking the Treasure Trend!'' has a scene in which the group get seperated from Piplup and Buck after getting attacked by Graveller. After fighting off a Golem with Gible, the group say they have to find Piplup. The method they use? Gible using Draco Meteor, to Dawn's dismay. It works of course, with Piplup taking a hit for its troubles. And to top it all off, Piplup rather begrudgingly ''thanks'' Gible for its help.
** Even funnier when it was the fact that: 1) Dawn could tell what Gible was about to do a mile away and 2) the meteor defies physics by traversing a cave system to find the penguin.
* Minor one, but seeing Team Rocket ''root for Ash'' during the ''Sinnoh League Victors'' season was worth a few chuckles.
* In DP, when Kenny first meets Dawn's friends, he shares embarrassing stories about Dawn from when they were 5 - like how she tried to "fix" a haircut she hated and ended up looking like a Chimchar, or when she sneezed during a school production. Ash, Brock, Pikachu and Piplup looked to be nearly ''bursting'' from the suppressed laughter each time - and laugh ''precisely when she shouts at them indignantly''!
** Then Kenny mentions Dawn coming to school in [[RummageSaleReject pajamas and mismatched shoes.]] You could hear people laugh at that from space.
*** When the story of Dawn's nickname "Dee Dee" finally comes out, it's not ''meant'' to be viewed as funny but Dawn's sheer ''trauma'' over the incident [[{{Narm}} kind of makes it so.]] Even [[AlphaBitch Ursula]] was laughing her butt off over it!
* Dawn getting lost on her way to Professor Rowan's lab in the first episode of Pokémon DP. "Not there!...Wrong way!...I want my mom!"
* In the end of ''Double-Time Battle Training'', Jessie makes Team Rocket blast off by her two Pokémon (Yanmega and Wobbuffet).
* In "Working on the Right Move", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73PZI3VGiTw Gible actually EATS a Shadow Punch]].
* At the beginning of "Noodles, Roamin' Off!", Ash and friends are walking along a road when their usual assailants ambush them. Their response? "Oh, it's just Team Rocket." Ash says he's too busy to battle and tells Pikachu to blast them off with a quick Thunderbolt. He does.
* A wild Phione uses Supersonic on Meowth in ''Hold the Phione!'' The effect is '''priceless.'''
* Why was Staravia out of action for most of ''Jumping Rocket Ship''? He ''instantly'' fell in love with a decoy!Staravia, that's how! Doesn't help that every time the scene briefly cuts to him, he's going ''Brock'' for "her"!
** Meowth claims to have been mistreated by Jessie and James, including one particularly priceless flashback line. "I didn't tell you to buy bread, [[ImmediateSelfContradiction I told you to buy bread]]!"
* ''Steamboat Willies'': the Pokémon start a ''band''. EpicFail ensues.
* Ash and his friends mimicking Team Rocket's motto in "The Keystone Pops!"
* Paul trying to catch a Fearow in "A Maze-ing Race!", only to be constantly interrupted by Ash and his friends, who have been separated from and are looking for one another.
* Any and all of Croagunk's antics ([[{{Beat}} or lack thereof]]).
* ''A Gruff Act to Follow!'': Dawn's [[UnstoppableRage reactions]] to Paul not remembering who she is. The first time is accompanied by a volcano erupting in the background. The second time? Not only has Dawn turned bright red and has ''huge'' glowing red eyes, but the background is of ''the sun splitting into quarters.'' Brock has to run in and restrain a kicking and screaming Dawn.
-->'''Dawn''': Wha-what's wrong?
-->'''Paul''': What's wrong? Who are you?
-->'''Dawn''': Excuse ''ME'', your rudeness, but we've met once before, the name's Dawn!
-->'''Paul''': ({{beat}}) Don't remember.
-->'''Dawn''': '''''YOU THINK YOU'RE FUNNY, DON'T YA?!!'''''
-->'''Brock''': Alright, come on, Dawn! Calm down!
-->'''Dawn''': ''(at the same time)'' Listen, you nasty, insulting, spoiled brat! ''Apologize!''
** Even better? During this scene, fans noticed that Pikachu was looking up Dawn's skirt, sparking the image macro [[http://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/Pikachu_9c7667_1105999.jpg "Pikachu: He knows where the goods are."]]
* Anytime Brock flirts with a girl and receives a Poison Jab from Croagunk.
** In one episode, Brock flirts with an Officer Jenny in disguise. Croagunk is about to Poison Jab him, but Jenny tells him off, leaving Brock to complain that the sting of rejection hurts more than Croagunk's Poison Jab. Croagunk just sits there.
** When Officer Jenny finally reveals herself, Brock starts flirting again. '''Pikachu''' grabs Brock's ear and drags him away while Piplup pushes him.
** In another episode, the girl '''rejects''' Brock and Croagunk is left wondering what to do with his readied Poison Jab.
* In ''Following a Maiden's Voyage,'' the starter Chimchar and soon-to-be-Dawn's Piplup get into a fight, eventually escaping the laboratory and running off. What's the starter Turtwig doing the entire time? [[TheSnackIsMoreInteresting Munching away at its bowl of Pokémon food!]]
* Ash fails at cooking Poffins and his Pokémon don't want them, so he eats them himself and regrets it. Dawn did a good job cooking her Poffins, but none of her Pokémon like it since the recipe was made specifically for Johanna's Glameow. Meowth picks one up and likes it.
* ''Twice Smitten, Once Shy!'' The gang's Pokémon running themselves ragged trying to catch Dawn's hyper [[SuperSpeed Pachirisu]], who keeps running around like crazy and won't get back into its Poké Ball. At one point, they all try to jump on it at once, but Pachirisu runs out from ''underneath'' them a second before they hit the ground, so all six Pokémon smash head-first into each other at the same time. ''WHAM!''
* "The Thief That Keeps On Thieving" has a rare one for Giovanni (the real non-Meowth fantasy one). The trio finally snag a Yanma the heroes were after and deliver it to the boss, convinced he will be overjoyed by what his top men delivered him. Cut to his lair, when his assistants notify him about the gift, he tries to remember who the three are before he goes back to petting Persian.
** After the three are handed back the Yanma (since the organisation already had plentiful supplies) they convince themselves that the boss put them in charge of it as a token of gratitude and decide to go on a spree collecting more. The rest of the episode has them in a manic high from their "reward". Doubles as Awesome moment since they also berserk attack the heroes in the process, leaving them all rather dazed and creeped out.
-->'''Meowth:''' ''*eyes bulging*'' WHAT DO YOU TWERPS THINK YOU'RE DOING FLAMING OUR GORGEOUSLY GIFTED YANMA STRAIGHT FROM THE BOOOSSSSS?!?
-->'''James:''' It's that sort of insensitivity that needs to be repaid in spades!!!
-->'''Jessie: You best be prepared to dig deep!!!
* In The Electrike Company Team Rockets hierarchy suffers through the episode with James and Meowth refusing to take part in their scheme, during their mantra the upbeat music suddenly stops whenever James and Meowth speak their lines while they speak in a depressed manner

[[folder: Unova League]]
* ''Best Wishes'' has already had a large number. The first: Ash testing out Pikachu's newly-recharged electric attacks by having Pikachu use Thundershock and Volt Tackle on him. The Volt Tackle ends with him woozily saying something, then falling over twitching. Then the entire meeting with Iris, and him climbing up a tree and then ''jumping into the air'' to try and rescue Pikachu and Axew, before missing while trying to grab the glass cage and falling back down to the ground.
* When Ash tried to catch Snivy, she takes advantage of his Pokémon by using Attract on all the males, disabling them from fighting. Left with only one choice, he sends Pidove. As luck would have it, [[SamusIsAGirl Pidove is also female]]. [[WhatAnIdiot Ash did not know that beforehand]], to the annoyance of Pikachu, Iris, and Cilan.
* In the ninth episode of ''Best Wishes'' (''The Bloom is on Axew!''), the beginning shows Axew's first onscreen battle. Cilan's Pansage...beats it in a CurbStompBattle while still going VERY easy on the little dragon.
** And right after that, when Axew attempts to get serious. Axew charges his Dragon Rage up in such a dramatic way...and then sneezes. Needless to say, the whole place within a ten foot radius is a bit decimated, leaving everyone burnt and twitching.
*** Cilan then dubs the attack "Dragon Sneeze." Iris is '''not''' amused.
** At the end of the episode, Iris has had enough of Ash challenging her and Axew, and tells him that ''he'' should be the one to battle Pikachu himself. Ash proceeds to do ''[[LiteralMinded just that]]''.
* ''Scraggy: Hatched to be Wild!'' Ash's Scraggy finally hatches from its egg. Later, when Ash's other Pokémon try to greet him, he tries to fight him all. Pidove gets freaked out by Scraggy's Headbutt. Oshawott gets so mad ''he has to be pulled off Scraggy''. Then he tries taking on Tepig and eventually Snivy, who casually jumps off a rock so Scraggy crashes into it and then casually holding Scraggy off with her vines. And then he headbutts Ash.
** From that same episode, [[http://images.wikia.com/es.pokemon/images/e/e3/EP677_Zuruggu_usando_malicioso.png Scraggy using Leer]].
* A wild Minccino using Tickle on Bianca's Pignite in [=BW013=] (''Minccino- Neat and Tidy!''). That is all.
** And then using Attract on Ash's Snivy.
** We also see that same Pignite acting a lot like [[CloudCuckooLander his]] [[TheDitz trainer]]. It's too much for words.
** Cilan crying over Bianca dirtying his cutlery; it's not something you'd expect from him...
** The Minccino stuffing Ash's badge case in its mouth.
** How the Minccino was caught can also qualify. Once Bianca is ready to catch him, she pulls out a very dirty Poke Ball, but takes so much time doing so that he gets away. Howver, out of instinct, he goes over to clean the Poke Ball, accidentally getting caught in the process.
* In the ''The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice'', Meowth is disguised as an Umbreon to provide a distraction. When he is finally cornered, his pursuers burst into [[ManlyTears tears of joy]] from "discovering the first Umbreon in Unova." This makes Meowth feel guilty, so he confesses that he is really just a talking Meowth. Only after he escapes do the pursuers realize that a talking Meowth is also rare, leading them to burst into tears once more.
* ''Scare at Litwick Mansion!'': Cilan screaming like a little girl. That. Is. All.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2gd0cxx8zM Cilan screams like a girl for almost ten minutes.]]
* Burgundy's ImagineSpot of Evil Cilan in ''A Connoisseur's Revenge'', complete with the evil laugh. Pansage's menacing expression in the background also helps.
** At one point, she attempts to evaluate Ash's Snivy by ''licking her.''
*** ''And'' gets vine-whipped in the tongue for her trouble.
*** All of the Pokemon's abusing her is pretty funny but Pikachu takes the cake. You can mock his trainer and insult his friends, but the moment you declare he isn't cute is the moment where he deals out [[DisproportionateRetribution 10000 volts of electricity.]]
* Iris and Georgia's interactions as rivals. It's basically a CatFight without any actual fighting, and it's ''hilarious''.
* In ''Reunion Battles in Nimbasa'', Ash is trying to get Trip's attention and is waving him over to the group. Trip ''obviously'' sees Ash via his camera lens but [[SugarAndIcePersonality then decides to ignore him]] after he looks directly at Ash. The expression on Ash's face is priceless.
** Iris getting a bad vibe from her first opponent, someone wearing a ''Watchog costume''.
* Ash's Snivy was alternately made of this and badass in ''Emolga and the New Volt Switch''. Usually by using her Vine Whip to discipline the kinda-{{Jerkass}} Iris' Emolga. The part where Emolga tries to sneak away from the battle with Simisear (that ''she'' caused) and gets grabbed, as if Snivy's saying, "I'll deal with ''you'' after I take care of this." is hilarious.
** Later in the episode, Emolga pulls a WoundedGazelleGambit by explaining how a trio of Watchog tormented her...in a little scene illustrated with ''paper cutouts.'' It's so cute it's funny.
** This episode also has Chivalrous!Oshawott who, being the ButtMonkey of Ash's Unova team, [[EpicFail fails]] at looking cool.
* From the episode before (''Emolga the Irresistable''), Iris' (soon to be) Emolga spreads Attract onto a flock of Swoobat (it fails on the girls, of course). [[EpicFail It also affects Excadrill!]]
* ''Oshawott's Lost Scalchop!'': Oshawott thinks he finds his scalchop and puts it on his chest. It's a Joltik. The little critter is ''not'' happy about this.
* Sawk using Bulk Up in ''The Club Battle Hearts of Fury: Emolga vs. Sawk!'', where he strikes some of the most over-the-top and manly poses you can think of. [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/6/6a/Stephan_Sawk_Bulk_Up.png Like this.]]
** More funny is that he does that EVERY TIME he uses Bulk Up. And Bianca goes nuts.
* In ''Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome'', after chasing down Zorua for three episode straight, Bianca finally catches her. Zorua GIVES UP running away from Bianca and Bianca later on that night puts clothes on her in reference to the Pokémon Musical subplot. Zorua is not amused.
** Later on in the episode, Bianca taunts Luke into making him move closer to watch Ash and Iris battle. It works.
** Cilan and Burgundy's "Evaluation Time" duet. Enough said.
* The end of ''Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky?'' The Purrloin that Meowth and Oshawott fell in love with [[UnsettlingGenderReveal turned out to be a male]]. But [[BiTheWay he wasn't exactly outright rejecting their advances, either]]. Their expression is priceless.
** It could have been that he was playing along to get them to help him, but it's funny either way.
** Now Meowth and Oshawott know AllThereIsToKnowAboutTheCryingGame?
* In ''Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym'', Ash needs to be reminded that Palpitoad was only his first knocked out Pokémon and that he's allowed two more...and he leaves the Gym because he didn't ''bring'' any others! Cue Elesa's WTF look.
** In the same episode, after Snivy and Emolga are unaffected by Attract, Ash proves just how off his game he ''really'' is:
--->'''Ash''': It didn't work!\\
'''Elesa''' You're right; by any chance, would your Snivy happen to be a girl?\\
'''Ash (looking completely embarrassed)''': Argh, of course! ''I totally forgot''!!\\
(Cut to Iris, Cilan, Pikachu and Axew with disbelieving expressions. Cue FaceFault.)\\
'''Iris (eyebrow twitching)''': How many times will it take for Ash to learn that Attract doesn't ''work'' between girls!?\\
'''Cilan''': Good question, although this ''is'' Ash after all!\\
'''Pikachu and Axew (sitting with their backs against each other, sweatdropping)''': "Pika..."/"Axew..."
*** Put that into perspective: He ''forgot his own Pokémon's sex''.
** And ''[[UpToEleven then]]'':
--> '''Ash''': So what? Snivy's a Grass-type Pokémon, so Electric-types moves won't have much effect anyway.
--> '''Elesa (smiling indulgently)''': You're forgetting something, Ash.
--> '''Ash''': Huh?
--> '''Elesa''': Emolga may be an Electric-type, but it's also a Flying-type.
--> '''Ash''': Huh...and [[CaptainObvious Flying-type moves are strong against Grass-types]]...''(cue FreakOut expression)'' [[OhCrap OH MAN, SNIVY'S A GRASS-TYPE POKÉMON]]!!
* Ash manages to be so close to defeating ''the Champion of Unova''...until everyone realizes that Alder was actually ''sleeping''.
** In that same episode, when Ash and Trip first meet up with Alder, the normally calm and collected Trip [[{{Kuudere}} goes full-on fanboy and his voice increases to a hilariously childish pitch as he's speaking]].
** Alder's Bouffalant gets increasingly fed up with his inability to take action during the battle (which is funny on its own), so what does Alder do to try and patch things up? Just laugh it off and [[TooDumbToLive smack the large and incredibly powerful bison Pokémon]] ''[[http://willfosho.tumblr.com/post/19673780004 on the butt]]'' [[TooDumbToLive to try and motivate it]]! Suffice to say, he gets a lovely dose of payback when Bouffalant decides to Head Smash him into a tree, but he then manages to laugh ''that'' off, too!.. And then temporarily loses consciousness.
** Alder in general, really. Whether he's being a ChivalrousPervert in a way that would make Brock proud, disobeying law enforcement, [[AccidentalMisnaming forgetting people's names]] and any inspirational advise he might have given them, falling asleep during battles, or getting beat up by his own pissed off Pokémon, he is ''definitely'' getting a lot of mileage as a BunnyEarsLawyer in this episode.
* Ash LOVES food. We all know that. Recently, it seems to have become something of a BerserkButton for him ''and'' Pikachu to see it wasted, judging by their [[NightmareFace Nightmare Faces]] [[http://serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/717.shtml here]]. Completely out of left field, man.
* Meowth's PreAssKickingOneLiner to the Dream Thief in ''Best Wishes'', seen below. His [[UnstoppableRage ludicrously]] [[OutOfCharacterMoment angry]] delivery just makes it better.
--> '''Dream Thief:''' A Meowth that can talk? We'll be rolling in dough! Now just sign this contract...
--> '''Meowth:''' '''AFTER ALL YOU PUT ME THROUGH, I WOULDN'T SIGN YOUR ''REPORT CARD''!!!''' ([[ClothingDamage slashes Dream Thief's clothes off]]. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome With one attack]]).
** Basically everything Meowth does, falling asleep and messing with Ash (not on purpose) and getting woken up by being spiced. The Dream Thief is hilarious in the Japanese original with his absolutely ridiculous GratuitousFrench which completely steals the spotlight
* Cilan and Stephan cosplaying as Elesa and Nurse Joy, respectively. Cilan can pull it off. Mostly.
** Made funnier by the fact he lost simply because he was ''too into the role'' and creeped the judge out.
** Plus the judge is a fan of Elesa, making Cilan's crushed reaction to knowing he probably couldn't have succeeded all the more priceless.
* The mere sight of Tepig and Oshawott in afro wigs in the episode ''"Baffling the Bouffalant"'' is enough to make people laugh '''BEFORE''' the episode ''aired''.
** Snivy absolutely ''refusing'' one also warrants a mention.
** [[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/727/DP173.jpg Excadrill's pompadoured afro is a riot!]]
** [[RapunzelHair Iris]] with afro puffs
** It should be noted that the dub of the episode seems to go out of their way ''not'' to say the word "afro". The fact that at least one background track in the episode is noticeably Funkier than you'd expect for the series lets you know that yes, the dubbers know full well that they're not fooling anyone.
* In the Clubsplosion arc, Ash's Scraggy learns to use Focus Blast. However, it's not really very focused, even in the subsequent matches and after intensive training. [[http://i46.servimg.com/u/f46/15/96/40/77/7455fe10.jpg Cue Iris, Cilan, Axew, and Pikachu's hilarious expressions.]]
** In that same arc, Cilan's Evaluation Time getting stopped by Stephan's Sawk's karate chop and its followed up by Pansage's dodge failing against Sawk's low sweep. Followed by Cilan's shocked look and then PANSAGE GETS SMACKED RIGHT INTO CILAN!! The funniest part is the slapstick sound effect that further emphasizes how much Cilan got curb-stomped. This is then followed by the announcer getting Stephan's entire name wrong.
** Bianca's obsession with muscles. That is all.
* This exchange in ''Battling the Leaf Thieves'' (they're walking through a Durants' nest):
--->'''Iris''': Make sure not to bump your heads.
--->'''Cilan''': Got it. ''(promptly knocks his head against a low stalactite)''
** And later continued--
--->'''Iris''': Watch your feet.
--->'''Cilan''': Yeah. ''(immediately slips and falls on the ground, complete with sound effect)''
* From another movie-making episode, they decide to spoof the famous MGM logo...and they had to use a ''Zorua'' instead of a lion analogue! What.
* From ''Crisis at Ferroseed Research'', after the whole moss issue is resolved, Ash thought it would be a good idea to have Pikachu unleash all the electricity stored in his body. So Pikachu lets it out, but the electricity comes back and almost hits Oshawott. Oshawott blocks the electricity with its scalchop but then it hits Ash, Iris, Cilan ''and'' Georgia. When Oshawott turns around to see what happens, he puts his scalchop down and gets electrocuted too.
* From ''Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times'', Dawn's reaction to Cilan's "EVALUATION TIME!" is ''priceless.''
** In the same episode, after the big finish between Piplup and Pansage's battle, Meloetta comes up to dance with Piplup. Oshawott comes out of his Pokeball in a jealous fit and Piplup just reacts with an awesome "u mad bro?" face.
** Additionally, while Dawn, Iris, and Ash are giving their reactions to Cilan's Evaluation Time speech, Cynthia just sits there and still watches ''without being phased or thrown off'' by Cilan. Either she is a master of being stoic or has a WeirdnessCensor.
* In "Clash Of The Connoisseurs", Cilan's Crustle accidentally sends Burgundy "blasting off" with one of its attacks. At that point, Ash (elsewhere in the general area) looks up and notes that that sounded oddly familiar...
* Scrafty's method of kidnapping Axew in ''Meowth's Scrafty Tactics'' -- it ''shoves Axew into its pants''.
* ''All for the Love of Meloetta!'': The gang and Cynthia are heading out when suddenly, the music turns tense, she mutters "wait just a minute..." and the scene darkens and goes to a close-up of Cynthia's eyes, putting everyone on edge. After about three seconds, [[BrickJoke she finally figures out what flavor of Bearticone she wants.]] Everyone else pretty much ''collapses.''
* In ''Lost At The League'', Pikachu's reaction to Oshawott stealing the apples the Trubbish were going to eat. He pulls this blank face as he mutters "Pika Pika" stoically as if to say "Oshawott...you're an idiot." And Emolga doing the same made it even funnier.
* In ''The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!'', Iris wonders why her Dragonite's Dragon Rush didn't do more against Ash's Charizard, [[CriticalResearchFailure as it is a Dragon Type.]] This is quickly followed by three {{beat}} reactions from Ash, Cilan and Pikachu. Charizard, however, has [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe a completely shocked WTF face]] complete with sweatdrop, while Iris's Dragonite just has a "Really? -_-" look.
** N was also included in on the reactions. EpicFail indeed, Iris.
** And just to add further insult, Axew ''laughs at her''.
** This is funny for [[HilariousInHindsight a different reason]] as of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''.
* And then came ''Crowning the Scalchop King,'' where Ash's Oshawott falls in love with Osharina, a female Oshawott. The first attempt made by Oshawott was giving Osharina some flowers, [[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/787ps1.shtml but he quickly gets hit in the head by a Dewott nicknamed Caesar.]]
** Then comes the scene where Oshawott tries to use Aqua Jet. Oshawott gets too distracted by Osharina's beauty...[[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/787ps6.shtml which results in Oshawott hitting Ash directly in the head.]]
** Then, after Oshawott wins the battle against Caesar and is crowned the winner, Oshawott goes all heart-eyed again as Ash says a tearful farewell to Oshawott. However, Osharina [[spoiler: rejects Oshawott in the favor of Caesar, who also had a love interest in Osharina]]. [[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/787ps11.shtml Oshawott's reaction]] is '''PRICELESS!''' Heck, even Oshawott's '''scalchop breaking in half''' (representing his broken heart) made it much funnier!
*** [[HumiliationConga Naturally, since his scalchop broke, he is immediately stripped of the title of Scalchop King.]]
** At the very end, [[HereWeGoAgain Oshawott falls in love with a female Cinccino]] and proceeds to chase after the Cinccino while holding the flowers he tried to give to Osharina earlier.
* In ''Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!'', Team Plasma grunts are at the white ruins, observing the excavation. They report that nothing has been uncovered by Cedric Juniper's excavation team. Cut to Cedric Juniper...
-->'''Cedric:''' Look! The discovery of the century!
-->'''Researcher 1:''' Huh?
-->'''Researcher 2:''' You've done it Professor Juniper!
-->'''Cedric:''' Hasn't happened yet. Back to work!
* The Best Wishes Decolora Adventure! ending theme ends with an impressive shot of all of Ash's friends and rivals holding hands with one another. Including Paul. ''Paul.'' Holding. Hands.
* ''Cilan And The Case Of The Purrloin Witness'' has CharacterOfTheDay Mr. Shaw make a vow to get the Liepard's Eye jewel and makes an evil laugh though he's not evil. Response? Watchhog slams the door in his face, and it's like it's telling him "Shut up!"
* In ''The Island of Illusions'', Ash runs [[spoiler:Zoroark!]]Nurse Joy and Audino ragged by asking where each one is. So they keep running back and forth and back and forth until they get exhausted.
* The first act of ''The Path That Leads To Goodbye!'' is presented by Cilan as a HowWeGotHere flashback. At the start of the second act, Team Rocket is preparing to ambush the twerps, and Meowth gets his own HowWeGotHere flashback... to a ten-second scene of them deciding to ambush them. Jessie even calls out his bizarre narration by the end.
* In ''Capacia Island UFO!'' Ash, Pikachu, and Team Rocket confront the Beheeyems about them hypnotizing the rest of island (as well as Mewoth who they're using to communicate) and ask why ''they'' weren't hypnotized. As it turns out, "idiots are hard to hypnotize." [[http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y158/Pikachu315111/AshTeamRocketIdiot_zps1ac82b42.png The groups reaction makes it even better.]]
** Even funnier because in Pikachu's case, he ''was'' hypnotized earlier, so he's not technically part of the above statement.
* Pignite in ''The Journalist From Another Region'' beats down several Pokemon in the tournament including a [[LazyBum Slaking]]...but he didn't need to beat it up. Instead, he beat it because Slaking was, well, slacking off!
* In ''Curtain Up, Unova League'', everyone suddenly starts pronouncing Stephan's name correctly. He's about to correct them out of habit when he realizes they got it right and incredulously asks them what they just called him. Iris says it again and asks, "That's your name, isn't it?" and everyone just generally acted like that's how they'd been pronouncing it all along.
* In ''Pirates of the Decalore Islands'', Oshawott tries to stand up to the pirates only for Octillery to spray ink in its face. Oshawott willingly retreats into its pokeball instead of the usual having Ash recall it.
* Ash's reaction to Burgundy being blasted off in 'Clash of the Connoisseurs'.
-->'''Ash''' Huh, could have sworn I've heard that before."
* In the undubbed special episode focusing on Cilan, he captures a fleeing criminal by having Crustle come out from its Pokeball in midair so that it falls and traps the fugitive under its weight.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Kalos League]]
* It seems Bonnie is the new Brock of this season- every time a pretty girl shows up, she gets down on one knee and proposes they marry...her brother.
** And to mirror Brock getting dragged away by the ear, Bonnie gets dragged away by Clemont's mechanical Aipom arm.
** This also leads to Bonnie asking Diantha, the ''CHAMPION OF KALOS,'' to marry Clemont.
** In XY&Z6, the woman Bonnie proposes too actually accepts, while revealing herself to be really a hundred year old woman, using a ninja technique to make herself look young.
** In XY&Z20, a girl finally accepts Bonnie's proposal, only for Bonnie to be jealous about all the attention that Clemont is giving to the girl instead of her.
* In [=XY010=], James's rambling during the ColdOpening gets cut off by the opening theme.
** The "[[OverlyLongGag overuse]]" of the word Mega during that segment.
** In the same episode, Bonnie and Serena's imitation of Team Rocket's introduction. Later, Team Rocket says it themselves, only to find Ash and Clemont weren't listening and trying to get Bonnie, Professor Sycamore, and Serena untied the whole time.
** Jessie and James' angry interruption of the mock motto (with James claiming "copyright infringement"), plus Serena's freeze frame expression. She looks exasperated she didn't get to finish the whole thing.
** When Jessie and James tie up the girls, Bonnie orders Dedenne to attack, who's crawled into her backpack to take a nap.
* Serena getting bombarded by Fletchling just like the games. However, unlike the games, this is much funnier.
* It's early days, but it's already been well established that Clemontic Gears [[RunningGag rarely last more than a few minutes]] [[MadeOfExplodium before blowing up in everyone's faces]] and giving the human characters afros. The aftermath is always hilarious, but especially with the Sticky Web cannon, which gave ''all the Pokémon that were currently out'' afros as well. Including '''Fletchling'''. Pikachu even gets one on his tail!
* How Jessie captures her Pumpkaboo. She literally just flicks a Poké Ball at it and its caught. It's more like something James would do!
* When Meowth asks who gets credit for poaching Pikachu and the Kalos starters, a fight breaks out. James says he built the net that caught the Pokemon, Meowth says it was his idea, and Jessie says she gave the signal. James points out that Jessie had the easiest job and is therefore not an accomplishment and states that Inkay was responsible for their escape and being Inkay's trainer, claims that as his second accomplishment. Jessie and James decide to settle things with a Pokemon battle which ends up destroying the balloon.
* When they're looking for Dedenne, they come across some holes and literally try to catch it (think Whack-A-Mole without the hammer). Pikachu and Bunnelby also get in the holes, followed by screenshots of the heroes searching the holes including one where Clemont grabs Pikachu, gets electrocuted, and Pikachu apologizes with a sheepish grin on its face.
** At the end of the episode, Clemont uses a machine that generates static electricity to help Dedenne recharge. He pulls on a lever and it works. When Ash and Bonnie ask him to turn it off, he shows that he accidentally broke the lever off while smiling and with his [[ScaryShinyGlasses glasses lens white]]. Cue the machine blowing up.
*** And while everyone freaks out over the machine, Dedenne just leisurely walks away from it like nothing's happening.
* Ash explaining evolution to Bonnie in [=XY012=].
-->'''Ash:''' You see, evolution is like this: They shine with a "Spark!", change shape with a "Boom!",and they make you go, "Whoa!". Get it?
* In the episode where Dedenne accidentally switches places with a Pichu, Clemont builds a machine that sends out electric waves to attract Dedenne. As usual, the machine blows up, giving all the humans "afros", even funnier is that Pikachu managed to avoid getting a fur afro despite being caught at the explosion's epicenter.
** At the end with Dedenne and Pichu reunited with their trainers, Ash ruins the heartfelt moment with his [[BigEater stomach]], annoying Serena. But that's not the funny part. Everyone laughs except for Pikachu who has a "some things never change" look on his face.
* In the Froakie vs Frogadier episode, Clemont invents a pair of boots allowing the wearer to jump higher like a ninja. Surprisingly, the boots don't explode, but malfunction all the same and send Clemont blasting off a la Team Rocket style.
** For a majority of the episode, Pikachu, Bonnie, and Dedenne play ninja while Ash and Froakie train.
* The princess of Parfum Palace agrees to hand over the pokeflute to Ash, in exchange for having Clemont as a "guest". At the end of the episode, the protagonists are about to leave when Bonnie remembers that Clemont is still at Parfum Palace. At that point, Clemont reunites with his friends and sister and in his underwear (which naturally embarrasses Serena). He tells them that he built a robot and put his jumpsuit on it to take his place and fool the princess. The princess is not amused by this.
** Given it was also one of Clemont's inventions, [[RunningGag Only the]] [[MadeOfExplodium inevitable ensues when she smacks the robot out of anger]].
* In "Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!", Ash and Pikachu fall off the Prism Tower. Ash then lands on a cushion. As for Pikachu, well...
--> '''Bonnie:''' I got you [=PikaCHUUUUUU=]! (catches Pikachu, they both fall over).
** And later, Bonnie gives Pikachu an [[AndCallHimGeorge excessively tight]] hug, causing him to involuntarily shock her.
* Professor Sycamore tries to get on the good graces of Diantha's assistant by flirting with her. She smacks him on the nose with a book instead.
* In ''Going for the Gold!,'' when the gang visits Ambrette Aquarium, Bonnie [[http://pkmn-trainer-snowsky.tumblr.com/post/91741934949/pelipper-ash-co-visit-the-aquarium imitating the Wooper]] is good for a laugh.
* "The Cave of Mirrors" is a MirrorUniverse plot with a few standout gags: Clemont the energetic magic-user, Hawlucha the {{jobber}}, and the heroic Team Rocket with a ridiculously manly-voiced Meowth and Wobbuffet.
** Speaking of that episode, this brilliantly [[NotAllowedToGrowUp meta insult]]:
--> '''Ash''': ''"Give us back our Pikachu!"''
--> '''Meowth''': ''"Sure, right when you grow up!''"
* Korrina's family apparently has a tradition where the next gym leader is handed a secret document filled with information on what makes a good gym leader. When Ash and friends help retrieve said document from Team Rocket, Korrina's grandfather agrees to tell them its secrets: as it turns out, it's actually a bunch of rules that could best be described as routine and manners. What's more, Gurkinn himself wrote the document. Needless to say, the party gives the [[BigWhat appropriate reaction]].
* In "Day Three Blockbusters!" Sycamore and his assistant have a flashback to an offscreen fishing competition the Pokémon Summer Camp held. Most of the catches are generic water-types, such as Staryu, Tentacool, and Corphish (which chases Clemont). Trevor's catch however? A Wailord. This is made funnier by how short and thin Trevor is.
* "Origins of Mega Evolution" The group run into Korrina again, and by Ash's consent, get to watch him train... except this particular one involves the 'rhythmic' style he's trying from Tierno (which it turns out Ash can't dance well). Cue Korrina and Lucario with blank looks, somewhere between laughter and '''What'' am I seeing?':
-->"Now I've seen it all... that's Ash's training..."
** The dance practice in general. It speaks volumes how a flier like Fletchinder is the most graceful of Ash's team. Imagine Hawlucha trying to make his dance look ''macho''.
* In ''The Clumsy Crier Quiets the Chaos'', some Pokemon have been injured by a wild Salamence. An ambulance brings a Linoone and Bidoof to the Pokemon Center. Bonnie and Serena take Linoone inside while Clemont is about to use his mechanical Aimpom arm to bring Bidoof's gurney inside, complete with the Route 4 music that accompanies whenever Clemont is about to use an invention, but the music ends when Clemont realizes that Ash already took Bidoof inside.
* In ''Pathways to Performance Partnering'', the character of the day (Nini) offers to trade one of her Pokemon for Serena's Pancham. Serena and Pancham are surprised by this, while Chespin smiles and begins to push Pancham towards Nini.
* When Froakie evolves into Frogadier, Ash's friends aren't around to see it thanks to a flock of Golbat separating them. When Ash shows off his new Frogadier, Bonnie is disappointed that she didn't get to see Froakie evolve and asks Frogadier to turn back into a Froakie so she can see the evolution process.
* The episode where Ash and friends first arrive in Coumarine City seemed to be written specifically to torture Clemont. First, we had Bonnie ask yet another girl to take care of him, while Chespin ''simultaneously'' flirts with the girl's Bellossom! All Clemont can do is pull Bonnie back with his Aipom Arm and recall Chespin and walk away. When the gang head up to the ranch, we are reminded once again of how out-of-shape Clemont is when he can't make it up the hill. He unveils his newest invention to help him get up the hill, which are essentially weird rocket scooters that inevitably explode, ala Wile E. Coyote. Clemont ends up crashing through the fence of a ranch and gets attacked by a bunch of Victreebel for it, one of whom tries to eat him the way James' Victreebel used to! And when Ash tells Pikachu to attack the Victreebel with a Thunderbolt to get Clemont out of there, the Victreebel pull back at the last second and Clemont gets hit instead! That was just not his day.
* In the episode when Tierno returns, Team Rocket's latest mecha captures Tierno's Wartortle and Raichu and Ash's Sligoo. Raichu electrocutes the cage they're in and considering [[ShockAndAwe Raichu]] and [[MakingASplash Wartortle's]] types...
* When Bonnie gets hit by Spore and falls asleep in ''So You're Having a Bad Day!'', Meowth valiantly and dramatically attempts to carry her... and fails. Three times.
-->'''Meowth:''' I gotta work out more often.
** The trainers' Pokemon playing EmpathyPet in their absence to another of Clemont's invention demonstrations, his Bunnelby is observing thoughtfully, Ash's Pikachu is geeking out, Serena's Braixen is giving an AsideGlance.
* In "A Relay In The Sky", Meowth's Pelipper mech is exposed and bashes into Jessie and James, blasting themselves off before they've even finished revealing themselves and saying their motto. Ash says his usually outraged reply of "Team Rocket!!" in complete bewilderment.
* In "A Frenzied Factory Fiasco", Jessie and James accidentally spray paint Pikachu and Meowth. Pikachu is given the Nest, Great, Net, and Repeat ball designs while Meowth is painted with the Safari ball design.
** Same episode, Pikachu almost ''catches'' Meowth in a Luxury Ball. It's Meowth's reaction that really sells it.
** Team Rocket's DelayedReaction to coming across Pikachu, who just stares blankly, before realising that means he's not in their Poke Ball. Cue DerangedAnimation of the trio shrieking "PIIIKACHUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!".
** The trio's plan was probably one of their most degrading towards [[GullibleLemmings the heroes' naiveté]]. Not only do they get the heroes to hand over all their Pokeballs in their PaperThinDisguise, they get Ash to willingly place Pikachu in their container which definitely doesn't look anything like Team Rocket's electric proof cases ([[SilentSnarker Pikachu's expression]] [[WhatAnIdiot says it all]]). They are them dimly led into what is meant to be a simulator of the inside of a Pokeball. It takes them a while to realise that they have been trapped in a storage closet.
-->'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble, we’ve done it again!
-->'''James:''' And make it double, you're gullible times ten!
* Watching Serena's second performance on TV, Professor Sycamore was so happy for her that he twirls around and excitedly tries to glomp one of his assistants. The assistant wisely sidesteps out of the way, and Sycamore loses his footing, landing face-first on the floor.
* Chespin and Bunnelby get sent on an errand. The hilarity kicks in when a wild Fearow steals Chespin's purse, and the [[TheDayTheMusicLied amazing insert song gets cut off]]. Then, to catch Fearow, chespin decides to ''[[FastballSpecial throw Bunnelby]]'' at it, to the latter's shock.
** Meanwhile, Pikachu, Luxray and Dedenne have to act as the Center's backup "generators". Halfway through their chore, Dedenne falls asleep, and the other two have to pick up the slack; no one bats an eye. Only when Clemont got the electricity running again did Dedenne wake back up, and it's Pikachu's and Luxray's turn to collapse.
* When Ash tells Tierno that he wants to find out the style of the Anistar Gym for himself, Shauna notes Ash's enthusiasm and quietly asks Serena [[ShipTease "That's why you like him, right?"]] Cue LuminescentBlush and BlankWhiteEyes from Serena as she nervously babbles her response...this draws Ash's attention and [[HighPressureEmotion freaks Serena out even more]] as she insists it was nothing important. Meanwhile, Shauna sighs and gives the traditional "so dense" smile and shrug.
* In the first episode of season 19, there's a "Who's That Pokémon?" before the first commercial break. The Pokémon in question is the Zygarde Core (or "Squishy", as Bonnie names it, because there's no Pokédex data on it and it doesn't say its name), and when it's revealed, the characters other than Bonnie are completely stumped as to what it is.
* In "Mending A Broken Spirit", James takes on the mysterious persona Jeeves to tutor Serena. After he ditches the disguise, Serena quickly blasts him off. Afterwards, she questions where Jeeves got to, leaving to mystified gang to assume he made a dramatic exit and vanished into thin air. That's one way of putting it...
* In "A Windswept Encounter", Clemont expresses surprise at how well [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Noibat]] and [[TheFairFolk Floette]] get along, given their directly [[ElementalRockPaperScissors opposed types]]. This causes Dedenne and Squishy to make scolding noises at him. The humour is in the {{irony}} for the viewer, since ''they'' know (though the cast doesn't) that "Squishy" is in fact ''[[OlympusMons Zygarde]]'', a dragon type (Dedenne is a Fairy type, for those keeping score).
* In [=XYZ13=], after being beaten by the Ash-Greninja form, Sawyer wants to know what it was. Ash answers that he doesn't actually know. Sawyer initially treats this as a useful answer before realising it ''isn't''.
* In [=XYZ21=], Pancham and Chespin get jealous when Lillia's Buneary has a crush on Bunnelby. But when they try to cut in on him, Buneary [[ExpressiveEars knocks them both back with her ears]] and scoots back over to nuzzle Bunnelby instead.
* In [=XYZ22=], after training at night, Ash gets a terrible cold, leaving him slightly delirious. Upon seeing Serena, he pushes past Bonnie, and [[MarshmallowHell falls on Serena's chest]], and, holding her hands, says:
-->'''Ash''': Now's our chance... now, now...
-->(''Serena starts blushing'')
-->'''Serena''': What's wrong?
-->'''Ash''': I...
-->(''background changes to pink, with romantic music playing'')
-->'''Serena''': I - what?
-->'''Ash:''' I...
-->(''Serena squeaks, clearly expecting him to say "I love you", "Ai shite iru" in Japanese'')
-->'''Ash''': [[NonSequiturThud Iron Tail, Pikachu...]] (''He then immediately collapses'')
-->'''{{Beat}}'''
-->'''The rest of the gang''': Ash!!!!!
** Not to mention what happens after that... Serena having to dress like Ash to fend off a crazy Pikachu battler named Jimmy, who is a barrel of laughs himself.
*** Jimmy's Pikachu ''headbangs!'' At one point he headbangs so hard he gives himself a concussion.
** Serena's decision to pose as Ash. The Pokémon's reactions (especially Pikachu's and Pancham's faces) can be summed up as "What is she ''thinking?!''" or "Did she change her outfit in front of Ash inside?"
** Team Rocket are actually fooled by the charade, at least until they finally get a closer look at "Ash". Oh, the irony...
* In "Mega Revelatons", we get treated to Pikachu reuniting with his lost love: [[AscendedMeme ketchup]].
* [=XY014=] has the group seeking shelter from a storm in a decaying and seemingly haunted mansion, all of them increasingly giving into panic ''except'' for Bonnie. The highlight is when Ash, Serena and Clemont freak out over an old woman appearing (admittedly accompanied by thunder and lightning), with Bonnie calmly dismissing it as just a painting.
* [=XYZ27=]
** The Snowbelle Gym referee is shivering horribly throughout the entire match that he has trouble speaking.
** Ash calls out Hawlucha into battle first. Hawlucha tries making himself look cool, but he then slips on the ice.
* [=XYZ28=]
** Team Rocket ambushes Pikachu while he's looking for Ash. He shocks them, but it does nothing. Confused, they even demand a retake, still nothing. They guess that in his worry over Ash's well being, [[PsychoactivePowers he's just not as strong as he should be]]. So they ''leave him alone.'' [[ArentYouGoingToRavishMe He actually seems a little offended by this.]]
** Then at the end, when they all reunite, Team Rocket ambushes them again, and are overjoyed when a single Thunderbolt counters Gourgeist's Dark Pulse ''and'' Inkay's Psybeam, ''AND blasts them off!'' [[TooKinkyToTorture Just the expressions as they bask in their electric shock...]]
* [=XYZ31=]
** Clemont presents the team with a huge Rube Goldberg-esque device, with which he places a ball, which rolls throughout it's cogs and activates it's machinery in a chain reaction...to set off a hammer to crack an acorn. An unimpressed Serena asks if it wouldn't be easier to just crack it with their hands like usual, setting off an enormous snit fit from Clemont.
** Later when they confront Team Rocket, they present their newest device, a large Meowth shaped mechanism. The twerps watch confused as Meowth jumps into the machine activating it in a very similar vein as the device before, with which it slowly paces towards Pikachu and hoists Meowth towards him ''just so he can perform Fury Swipes on him''...only to be few inches too far away. Both Jessie and the twerps are exasperated from having to go through all that elaboration for nothing, only to be rebuffed by [[NotSoDifferent James and Clemont for not appreciating technology]].
* Almost any time Clemont takes a bit too mutual an interest in Team Rocket's gadgetry, even when it's trying to attack them.
-->'''Clemont:''' ''*thoughtfully*'' Even I have to admit that's pretty good science.
-->'''Bonnie:''' What is this, the Team Rocket Fan Club???
* In [=XY035=], Serena finds out that one of the group's Pokemon has stolen the Pokepuffs she made and sternly confronts them about it, warning them that even if no one owns up she'll know. "I put in those super-spicy Pokepuffs Fennekin loves so much, and right about now, things will start heating up in a big, big way." As she says this Chespin starts sweating badly followed by [[FireBreathingDiner the expected fiery outburst]].
* The second ending theme of the XYZ series is about Pikachu and [[NeverLiveItDown ketchup]]. It's just as silly as it sounds.
* In [=XYZ37=], James finds himself caught up in the heat of the moment and starts rooting for Ash in the finals, much to Jesse and Meowth's annoyance.
* "Lights! Camera! Pika!" is hilarious from start to finish. The episode's sole purpose was to show off Cosplay Pikachu (which [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire wasn't even in X & Y in the first place]]). Nonetheless, the writing pulled through.
** Let's just say Frank has a bit of a Pikachu fetish. Of course, this is PlayedForLaughs.
** When Clemont volunteers to finish the script, all five Cosplay Pikachu start embracing him. Clemont's reaction is priceless.
** During an action scene, Frank uses a cluster of Pikachu for the lightning effects. However, they shock Ash in the process.
** Then there's [[SoBadItsGood the movie itself]].
** After the episode ends, we get treated to HilariousOuttakes. Highlights include...
*** Even the VanityPlate had a blooper. In it, Pikachu [[HamAndCheese overacts]] when parodying the Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer logo. Apparently, [[NightmareRetardant it was too scary]].
*** Serena [[{{Corpsing}} just can't help but laugh]] at Bonnie's flubs.
*** During one of the flying scenes, the wire holding Pikachu up stops half-way. Pikachu looks at the camera embarrassed, and we end on a ThatsAllFolks from the main cast.
* Serena's goodbye, specifically [[spoiler:the kiss]]. Words just cannot describe the epic ReactionShot of the rest of the XY gang. Plus Bonnie's fist pump that seems to tell Serena 'good job!'. Another special mention goes to Pikachu, who loves it so much ''his ears twine together''!
** Hawlucha TryingNotToCry, and failing. You're not fooling anyone, softie...
* Cilan meets Clemont and Bonnie. "[[GratuitousEnglish IT'S FISHING TIME!!!]]"
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Alola]]
[[AC:Opening and ending credits]]
* In the opening, Ash and his friends ride the school slide and right into an Alolan Exeggutor. The last one down the slide was Kiawe's ''Turtonator'', who inevitably squashes the entire gang flat at the end. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Directly afterward, Rowlet can be seen asleep on top of Exeggutor when it leans down into view.]]
* Look at the school march. Turtonator didn't bother to catch up and was instead riding on top of Officer Jenny's pickup truck. Samson tries to join the march, but Komala appears out of nowhere and knocks him out.
* In the ending, poor Rotom is subject to various type attacks as Ash demonstrates the Z-Move dances.

[[AC:[=SM001=]]]
* The Ketchum family winning their vacation in a lottery. It's a flashback sequence completely played in fastforward. Even funnier when Delia reminded her son of his mission to deliver Professor Oak's egg to Samson Oak, and the flashback replays in reverse, ''at the same speed''.
* Ash meets a Bewear. It just wants a hug. HilarityEnsues when Ash realizes [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength why this would be bad.]] Bonus points for Bewear's [[HellIsThatNoise absurdly high pitched voice]] that only gets higher as it gets more excited.
** For context, Ash realizes that there might be trouble when Bewear gets a bit ''too'' excited and accidentally ''backhands a tree in half''. [[http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/193/532/de0.gif His and Pikachu's]] OhCrap expressions are nothing short of hilarious.
* All the AmusingInjuries to Ash. Especially when the Litten whose tail he steps on immediately retaliates with an Ember attack. Even in Alola, he's not safe from the AshFace; it's pretty much got his name in the title for crying out loud!
* By itself, Samson Oak's HurricaneOfPuns isn't that funny. What makes it funny is Ash, Pikachu, and Mallow's reactions to them. Ash in particular is thinking "YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe", Pikachu seems to have had a HeroicBSOD from them, and Mallow's just embarrassed.

[[AC:[=SM002=]]]
* This episode continues the AmusingInjuries by having Ash touch Alolan Exeggutor's tail, to which it responds with a MegatonPunch. ''With the tail''.
* Ash is having lunch with the rest of the Pokémon School, when a sound startles them. He turns around, and suddenly he's face-to-face with Tapu Koko. A brief {{beat}} before he startles. Then the Guardian steals his hat.
* Lillie's [[WildTake over-the-top reaction]] to Mallow's Bounsweet [[http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/181/628/b92.gif unexpectedly jumping up into Lillie's face]]. Bonus points for her holding her freaked-out expression for a moment afterward.

[[AC:[=SM003=]]]
* AmusingInjuries for Ash: Rotomdex decides to pull on Pikachu's tail, resulting in Pikachu zapping Rotomdex, Ash, and Kukui.
* When the other kids at the Pokémon School meet the [=RotomDex=], Sophocles goes up to it talking about wanting to examine its programming. But he's brandishing a screwdriver at it with a SlasherSmile. [=RotomDex=] wants ''no part'' of his plans.
* Most of the time, whatever Mimikyu is saying is so creepy, Meowth [[YouDoNotWantToKnow literally refuses to translate it]].
* Meowth tries to take off Mimikyu's shroud, and gets hexed so badly he ends up having a NearDeathExperience.
* Mimikyu knows the move Play Rough, which is literally a BigBallOfViolence. And Pikachu is on the receiving end ''twice''.
* Just when Pikachu and Mimikyu are about to battle, a Bewear comes out of nowhere and takes Jessie and James away. Meowth stops Mimikyu's battle to go rescue them. Ash and his classmates were left confused.
-->'''Jessie''': Wait, hey, hey, hey. Wha-What? What are you doing? Excuse me. Please let us go? Um...

[[AC:[=SM004=]]]
* Most of the hilarity can be summed up with one Pokémon: Rowlet the idiot owl.
* AmusingInjuries for Ash once again: Rotomdex pulls on Pikachu's tail yet again, zapping both Rotomdex and poor Ash.
* Jessie stealing James's Luxury Ball to catch Mimikyu.
* When Bewear finally leaves its den, Meowth and Wobbuffet both have [[BalloonBelly balloon bellies]] from being fed by it.
* Bewear extracts Team Rocket from a battle once again, to the further bewilderment of the twerps. It seems to be the alternative to blasting off.
-->'''Team Rocket:''' What is this feeling?![[labelnote:*]]In the Japanese, as opposed to their normal words when blasting off, "This feels bad".[[/labelnote]]

[[AC:[=SM005=]]]
* AmusingInjuries continue: Ash is electrocuted by Pikachu for the third episode in a row, slapped in the face by a Magikarp that Pikachu caught with his tail, nailed in the crotch by a Milotic while leaping over the water, and splashed by Popplio's bubbles (and caught in one then dropped from the air) multiple times.
* Ash plays with Rockruff before heading to school. Rotom updates Rockruff's 'Dex entry about how the mutt enjoys being petted below the chin. And Kukui points out that while Rotom was busy WikiWalking, Ash has already left him behind.
* Once at school, Ash opens his bag and out falls Rowlet, rolling on the floor, still asleep, until it hits a pillar. It ''really'' loves the inside of Ash's backpack; Ash didn't even know it'd been sleeping there the whole time, and it was ''zipped shut''.
* Team Rocket LeaningOnTheFourthWall, namely, even ''they'' were wondering what is up with the premise of Ash going to school.
* Lana has twin younger sisters. When they see Pikachu, they grab him and drag him into their house, and start playing with his face like it's made of clay. And you know what happens when Pikachu is faced with an AndCallHimGeorge situation. Even Lana's Ride Lapras outside was stunned.
** They weren't even aware of Ash's presence at first. When they do notice him, they thought Ash was Lana's boyfriend, leading to her [[HighPressureEmotion flustered reaction]].
* Popplio decides to leap into Lillie's lap, causing full-blown ColorFailure until Lana takes Popplio back.
* When the class goes fishing, Lillie is in full-body underwater gear complete with bubble helmet. She looks more prepped for space travel than a day on the water.
* Ash and Mallow do a FrameBreak against the [=RotomDex=] when it criticizes their fishing skills, squeezing Rotom out of the screen from both sides.
* Sophocles claims he could catch a Wailord with his high-tech fishing rod, yet he hasn't even thrown out the line. Later, Lana fantasizes about catching a Kyogre.
* A random Slowpoke wanders over to hear Team Rocket while they were scheming, and it [[AsideGlance looks at the audience]] as if it was questioning their sanity.
** The next day it dips its tail in the water, and a Sharpedo clamps on to it. At the end of the episode, Sharpedo has yet to let it go.
* All the classmates have lures based on their favorite Pokémon: Ash has Pikachu, Lana has Popplio, Sophocles has Togedemaru, Mallow has Bounsweet, Kiawe has Charizard, and Professor Kukui has Rockruff. Lilie, who doesn't have her own Pokémon yet, has a Clefairy lure.
* Kiawe didn't use an aquatic Ride Pokémon of his own, and instead settled on being Sophocles' "passenger".
* The Meowth Balloon returns, and takes a reflected Shadow Ball and Leafage. Surely they're finally going to blast off, right? Nope. Team Rocket falls to the water, and are caught by Bewear, [[WalkOnWater running across the water]] and carrying them off once more.
** And Rotom adds that to Bewear's 'Dex entry with a dumbfounded voice.

[[AC:[=SM006=]]]
* [[OverlyLongGag Yet more]] AmusingInjuries to Ash: He jumps off a ledge to the first floor of Professor Kukui's house, and lands face-first against his fish tank. Then slips on soap in the laundry room. Not to mention getting shocked by Pikachu yet again. And that's just the first five minutes.
** Upon meeting with Sophocles, his Togedemaru rolls into a ball and slams right into Ash's face, knocking him over. Then when Ash and Sophocles have ice cream at the Mall, he eats his too quick and gets brain freeze. And Sophocles is too busy talking to notice.
** When the Mall locks down, Sophocles panics and starts to run around in circles, before crashing into Ash and crushing him under his weight. Poor Rowlet is also crushed, managing to wiggle out with a blue face. Later, Sophocles tries to get Ash to an open route to get back to Pikachu, [=RotomDex=], and Togedemaru. Ash ends up slamming into several doors in his haste.
* [[MenCantKeepHouse Never leave Ash in charge of the house.]] Even the [[LemonyNarrator narrator]] believes [[LampshadeHanging no good can come of this]].
* Just to [[LampshadeHanging emphasize]] Kukui's LimitedWardrobe, Ash pours the contents of his dirty hamper in the washing machine [[OverlyLongGag one labcoat at a time]] until he decides to heck with it and dump it all.
* Rowlet posing for photos for [=RotomDex=].
* [=RotomDex=] actually trying to get Ash to cook, since it watched a cooking show with Kukui. Unfortunately, Rotom forgets some small details like "amounts" and turns him into a LethalChef. Then Ash [[VomitIndiscretionShot pukes sparkles]] all over Pikachu, who zaps the entire house with Thunderbolt in retaliation.
** To clarify: Ash takes vegetables, salt, and pepper (copious amounts of the latter two), and manages to cook up some sort of purple gunk, which nearly [=KOs=] Pikachu with the smell alone. Muk would be proud.
* Togedemaru [[CuddleBug really likes Pikachu]]. Then, at the end of the episode, Sophocles matter-of-factly states that [[ShipTease Togedemaru is a girl]]...
* Meowth [[CutLexLuthorACheck is now a pastry chef]], with Jessie and James selling his wares. And his Malasada Donuts are so good, Jessie doesn't even care about stealing all the Pokémon in the Mall anymore.
* Brandishing his screwdriver, Sophocles once again wants to take a "closer look" at [=RotomDex=]. The latter goes into HeroicBSOD...literally!
* When Team Rocket finally does get to examining the security system, Mimikyu pops out of its Poké Ball unawares and startles Meowth. [[DisasterDominoes He jumps into James and knocks him into a security system panel]], locking down the Mall and [[AloneWithThePsycho locking them in the room with Mimikyu]].
* Jessie eventually gets fed up with being locked in a room and starts going RapidFireFisticuffs on the door when James calls her over. Cue her ''epic'' JawDrop when it turns out that there was an open door all along.
* Bewear again shows its MamaBear traits by hopping in, grabbing Team Rocket, and hopping across rooftops to get away. Especially funny is that the scene is dramatically set with Bewear in front of the setting sun and roaring in its adorable voice before grabbing them.

[[AC:[=SM007=]]]
* More AmusingInjuries to Ash: when Litten steals his sandwich, Ash grabs its tail, and it responds with Fury Swipes. Pikachu electrocutes Ash while trying to retaliate on Litten with Thunderbolt.
* Team Rocket leisurely saying a variation on their motto while eating fruit. Then Litten steals their last piece of fruit, and burns Meowth and Team Rocket with Ember.
* Litten ends up in a ConeOfShame after its fight with the Alolan Persian. When escaping from Ash and Pikachu, Litten actually manages to get a headstart, only for the chase to be cut short when the cone catches on a fence grill.
* Trying to open Kukui's door to escape awakens Ash, Pikachu and [=RotomDex=]...mostly. Ash opens the door for Litten, and ''then'' they properly wake up all with OhCrap in their faces.
* In a simultaneous CrowningMomentOfAwesome, Litten finally giving the {{Jerkass}} Persian what's coming to it by blasting it with Ember, sending Persian running away [[RumpRoast with its tail on fire]].
