** When Tyra steps up to battle Ash using her Cloyster, Misty butts in declaring she ought to have this battle since Water types are her specialty. She prepares to call out Starmie, only for Psyduck to pop out of his ball instead. Misty reluctantly lets it battle, hoping that it'll get a headache strong enough to unleash its psychic powers on Cloyster and win the match. Cue Misty's biggest HumiliationConga ever, with Psyduck making itself the ButtMonkey and ''the entire bike gang'' laughing their asses off at it. At the very end, Cloyster uses Clamp on Psyduck but still no headache, so Misty's ready to ''throw the rented bike onto Psyduck'' in order to get it to fight back!

** Misty [[BerserkButton royally pisses off Jessie]], who starts ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2jwNmQEATk spewing fire]]'' after gaining about five CrossPoppingVeins. Meowth's reaction is gold:
--->'''Meowth:''' Wow! Jessie just evolved into a Flareon!

** Snorlax casually pushes off Ruby's (the owner of the Seven Grapefruit Islands) staffs while eating the grapefruits.

-->'''Ash:''' ''(frustrated)'' ''OHHHH!''
-->''(Snorlax, unfazed, flattens Bulbasaur without hesitation)''
-->'''Ash:''' No! Bulbasaur!

** Team Rocket steal Brittany's Igglybuffs and Ash and Misty tell Brock to stay behind and cover for the show. At first he refuses, but when Brittany begs him, Brock ''quickly'' changes his mind. He then dresses up in some Mariachi costume and does a little Mexican. At first, and surprisingly, the crowd loves it. Unfortunately, the crowd soon loses patience and the cheers quickly turn to boos.

--->'''Misty''': [[DeadpanSnarker Bulbasaur is sure handy in the kitchen.]]

** And of course the many many EpicFail of the gang and Team Rocket trying to make Snorlax fall asleep.

* 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]].

--> '''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]].

'''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 irritable and lose their temper! Now how would ''you'' like it if it said that about you?!

'''Jessie:''' What won't work?\\
'''Tierra:''' It says on the tablet that the Queen was only able to use her mask and staff to control Pokemon within her home village. See those half-buried stone tiles behind you? That's the boundary line, and ''you're outside it.'' So if you want to control any Pokémon, you have to stay ''back in there!''\\

'''Jessie:''' ''(Sigh)'' It's certainly good to be the Pokemon Queen. Oh, [[PowerAtAPrice but it would be a royal pain to stay here for the rest of my life]]. ''Ohhh!'' What should I do? What should I--\\

* ''The Fortune Hunters:'' Misty loses it when the Pokémon fortune book labels her a [[HairTriggerTemper Gyarados]], whereas [[ItMakesSenseInContext Ash and Brock are labeled a Bellsprout and an Onix, respectively.]]

--> '''James:''' So who out-scared who?
--> '''Meowth:''' I'm not sure if I'd call that scary, or disturbing...

-->'''Ash''': That was a close one. I better store this till after the show's over.

-->'''Brock''': ''La-la-la! This is my paradise!''

-->'''Brittany''': Brock, we're back!\\
'''Brock''': Huh? (''promptly gets back up to his feet'') Ladies and gentlemen, I'm pleased to announce that Brittany and the Loony Balloons are back!\\

-->'''Meowth''': I wish I could stop makin' a dope outta myself.
-->'''James''': Then stop that dreadful dancing!
-->'''Meowth''': Believe me, Jimmy, I wanna stop, but my body's got a mind of its own.
** Jessie has all of the hero's Pokemon (except Golbat, thanks to his supersonic) under her mind control spell. However, whenever she steps over a stone tile barrier, Pikachu snaps out of it and shocks her. Tierra explains to Jessie that she can only have the power over Pokémon if she stays behind the stone line.
-->'''Jessie''': DO WHAT I TELL YOU! WHY WON'T YOU LISTEN TO ME?!\\
'''Tierra''': It won't work.\\
'''Jessie''': What won't work?\\
'''Tierra''': It says on the tablet that the Queen was only able to use her mask and staff to control Pokemon within her home village. See those half-buried stone tiles behind you? That's the boundary line, and you're outside it. So if you wanna control any Pokémon, you have to stay back in there.\\
'''Meowth''': Whaddya mean?\\
'''James''': The only way for Jessie to continue her reign as the Pokémon control queen is if she reigns in this sandbox.\\
'''Jessie''': Oh, it's certainly great to be the Pokemon Queen, [[PowerAtAPrice but it would be a royal pain to stay here for the rest of my life]].

-->'''Ash''': I guess controlling Pokémon would've been cool, but I like the old fashion way a lot better.\\
'''Misty''': Yeah, and besides, it's a lot more fun to catch a Pokemon and raise it, train it and be friends with it. Don't you think so, Brock?\\
'''Brock''': Huh? Oh, yeah! And when you're aiming to be the world's best breeder, there's nothing more important than your Pokémon.\\
'''Misty''': Yeah, except maybe a girlfriend, right, Brock?\\
'''Brock''': [[SarcasmMode Very funny]]!

** When Ash goes and contacts Professor Oak about his Krabby, [[EatTheDog he's greeted by Prof. Oak eating a small cooked crab on the monitor]], [[NotWhatItLooksLike but it turns out to actually just be tofu]], Ash was just being paranoid.

* 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 Metapod 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: [[LongSpeechTeaTime sunbathing with Pikachu]].
-->'''Samurai:''' Metapod! Harden like his!\\

'''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!

-->'''Brock:''' ''[on Pikachu]'' It used its tail as a ground, and dodged the electric shock!\\

-->'''Brock:''' That was really disturbing.

-->'''Ash:''' 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]'' [[LiteralMinded Where? I don't see it! How can you see a star in the middle of the day?]]
-->'''Ash''': Arrgh! I don't mean it's ''actually'' shining!

** James and Jessie disguise themselves as two stereotypical teenage girls who hand out their tickets to the ship for free to Ash and co., marking the first time in the series James is DisguisedInDrag. While Jessie talks to them, James constantly joins in by saying the word "Cool!" in [[LarynxDissonance the most girly voice he can come out with]]. Much later after successfully giving the tickets to Ash and friends, Jessie notes how their plan worked, then James follows it up with a question and HilarityEnsues after:

-->'''Jessie''': YOU IDIOT! CAN'T YOU SEE YOU WERE TRICKED?!\\

--->'''Captain:''' May I have your attention? [[RefugeInAudacity Anyone who didn't leave the ship safely, please say "aye!"]] (''{{Beat}}'') Good! Well done! Everyone's safe, then!\\

-->'''Misty:''' I wish Ash could have heard it.\\

-->'''Jessie''': Looks like you got yourself into a sticky situation, eh, twerp? Ahaha!\\
'''Ash''': Pikachu! Quick! This way!\\

'''Jessie''': What was that all about?!\\
'''Meowth''': You said take it out for a spin.

-->'''James''': Meowthinator impersonator ready for launch! Twerp-seeking putty ball, engage! Engine light, ignite! On your mark, get set-- (''Jessie whacks him on the head with a giant hammer'') Ow!\\
'''Jessie''': JUST FIRE IT!\\
'''James''': Whatever you say...\\

-->'''Ash''': HANG ON, PIKACHU!\\
'''Koji''': It's all over, Cyndaquil! I got you cornered! Sandslash! Poison Sting!\\

'''Ash''': Gotcha!\\
'''Koji''': Hey! Come back here! (''Gives chase, but the giant putty ball rolls right over him'') Ouch!\\
'''Ash''': [[CasualDangerDialogue What a day! What's next?]]

-->'''Ash:''':Hey! What's the big idea?! I wanted that Stun Spore!\\

-->'''James:''' ''[triumphantly]'' I AM A ''FLAMING'' MOLTRES!

'''Ash''': I almost feel sorry for that guy.

** James's ImagineSpot when he thinks all the Pokémon they will be stealing will be just for him and Jessie.

** Then there's Ash and friends' imitation of Team Rocket's motto, complete with Duplica saying "ignite" instead of "unite". Jessie and James's reaction is priceless. The Japanese is equally funny, with Misty referring to the group as "The lovely, charming ''protagonists''" instead of "villains" and Brock substituting "Roketto-dan" with "Poketto-dan" - literally "Team Pocket".

-->'''James's Father:''' Prepare for trouble!\\
'''James's Mother:''' Yes, dear, and make it double!\\

'''James's Mother:''' Oh, James, we're so happy you've come back home!\\
'''James's Father:''' And you're wearing a suit!\\

--->'''James's Father:''' Those two were made for each other. Just like you and I, precious.\\
'''James's Mother:''' It's a perfect match.\\
'''James:''' ''[frenziedly]'' IF YOU TWO WEREN'T SUCH LOUSY PARENTS, YOU'D ''STOP'' THIS MADWOMAN!\\

-->'''Meowth:''' (As the trainer) Alright, victory will be mine. Use your fury swipes attack. (As the battling pokemon) Right.\\
(Pikachu places his tail on Meowth's charm)\\
'''Pikachu:''' Piiikaaaa... (Shocks the crap out of Meowth who screams in pain) '''''CHUUUUUUUUUUUUU'''''!!\\
'''Meowth:''' (stunned) I lost so fast I'm a little shocked.

-->'''James' Father:''' Prepare for trouble!\\
'''James' Mother:''' Yes, dear, and make it double!\\

'''James' Mother:''' Oh, James, we're so happy you've come back home!\\
'''James' Father:''' And you're wearing a suit!\\

** A moment later, Jessebelle is chasing James around the room with a bullwhip. His parents are [[DissonantSerenity calmly]] sitting at a garden table in the middle of the room, ''drinking [[TeaIsClassy tea]]''. And the twerps are also watching this spectacle.
--->'''James' Father:''' Those two were made for each other. Just like you and I, precious.\\
'''James' Mother:''' It's a perfect match.\\
'''James:''' IF YOU TWO WEREN'T SUCH LOUSY PARENTS, YOU'D STOP THIS MADWOMAN!\\

-->'''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!

-->'''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.

-->'''Brock:''' Don't mention that name!

-->'''Ash''': Team Rocket!
-->'''Misty''': Why don't you just pretend you're a tree and leave?
-->'''James''': Ooh funny, who told you that one, Professor Oak?

-->'''Ash''': Hey! What's the big idea?! I wanted that Stun Spore!\\
'''Misty''': Uh, I don't think that was Stun Spore, Ash.\\
'''Brock''': She's right! You almost got a spoonful of ''Sleep Powder''!\\
'''Ash''': Uh, Sleep Powder? Ugh... (''whimpers'')

* ''The Fortune Hunters:'' Misty freaking out when the Pokémon fortune book labels her a [[HairTriggerTemper Gyarados]], whereas [[ItMakesSenseInContext Ash and Brock are labeled a Bellsprout and an Onix, respectively.]]

''([[IResembleThatRemark Misty flies into a rage]])''\\
'''Misty:''' YOU'D BETTER NOT SAY YOU AGREE!\\
'''Brock:''' It's amazing how a book like that could be so... ''wrong!''
** As the three walk along, Misty continues ranting about what the book says in terms of her fortune.[[note]]Look who's talking, Misty...[[/note]]

'''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 irritable and [[HypocriticalHumor lose their temper!]] Now how would ''you'' like it if it said that about you?!
** [[OverlyLongGag And this doesn't stop there]]. When they're relaxing at the Pokémon Center, a boy asks Misty if she's willing to trade her Poliwhirl for his Gyarados due to [[TooDumbToLive the love-struck Brock telling Nurse Joy about Misty's fortune.]] The look on Ash's face sells upon hearing Brock's words. Cue to Misty's anger, crushing her cup and going after Brock.

** Kudos to Jessie's line. Jessie's facial expression during that line is ''priceless.''

* 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.

'''Pokédex:''' It also comes out into open fields to steal food from [[SnarkyInanimateObject stupid travelers]].\\

--->'''Captain:''' May I have your attention? [[RefugeInAudacity Anyone who didn't leave the ship safely, please say "aye!"]] (''{{Beat}}'') Good! We're done! Everyone's safe, then!\\

* In "Battle of the Badge", when Team Rocket show Togepi to Giovanni. His face is priceless. Then he asks what does Togepi do. The trio pause for several minutes, because they have ''no idea'' what type of powers Togepi has!
-->'''Jessie:''' Well, uh... It'd make a handsome paper weight.

** Meowth is in hysterics through-out the episode because the gold charm on his forehead has gone missing. In one scene, a Chansey is shown offering him various objects (including a bowl of rice, a Go board and an ''entire mobile police station''), resulting in [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=80BZDdh6_j4&t=23s Meowth being handed a Venonat, him throwing it back at the Chansey, and Chansey slapping the everloving shit out of him in return.]] The cherry on top? [[CrossestheLineTwice Chansey sticking a plaster Meowth's forehead, while he's unconscious.]]

[[CrossestheLineTwice Chansey sticking a plaster Meowth's forehead, while he's unconscious.]]

** During the obligatory recitation of the Team Rocket motto, James, still depressed over being swindled, listlessly says his part.
** And earlier, he picks the wrong time to go back to the salesman.

** And of course the many many EpicFail of the gang and Team Rocket trying to make Snorlax falls asleep.

** Lt. Surge's ''priceless'' FlatWhat upon Pikachu avoiding Raichu's attack by grinding its tail against the ground.

** (while doing the metronome) "Cle-FAAAAAAAAIR-y! Cle-FAAAAAAAAIR-y! Cle-FAAAAAAAAIR-y! Cle-FAAAAAAAAIR-y!"

-->'''Narrator''': Everyone will wake up before...too long and then our heroes... will be able to continue... (''yawns'')...their journey. Eventually. (''snores as the episode fades to black''')

** Jigglypuff scuffling with Clefairy after the Clefairy kidnapped Pikachu. First, she {{BitchSlap}}s the leader with Pound, takes a Pound from Clefairy, then angrily uses Double Slap on it, scares all the other Clefairy and defeats all of them with the same move.

** And when Gary throws a [[=PokeBall=] at one, only for it to politely return it to him. Even better? He embarrassedly thanks it! Then freaks out.

* While "Charmander the Stray Pokemon is mostly a serious episode, the beginning of the episode has a hilarious moment where Misty's getting frustrated by how long they're taking to get to Vermilion City and Brock trolls her by saying that there's a bug on her which freaks her out and she jumps onto Ash then Brock reveals that it's just a piece of grass which pisses Misty off so much that she kicks Brock in the face.
