* ''The Demon's Den'' has a scene where Chet and Biff have to enter a log-rolling contest to avoid blowing the kids' cover during a case. They both go flying off the log so fast that the emcee makes them try again so that the round will have an official winner if one of them manages to last a few seconds longer than the other this time.

* In the rewrite of ''The Secret Warning'', a young watchdog who the boys try to have follow the scent of a housebreaker sniffs on the ground, and then goes charging back into the house … to hungrily sniff their refrigerator. Even more hilariously, the dog is a Great Dane and the book [[HilariousInHindsight was written three years before]] a far better-known [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo food-obsessed Great Dane]] began gracing the airways.

** Once, Chet called the fire department, telling them to sen their trucks out to a burning house, then pretended to hang up in panic without giving them the address. One firefighter recognized Chet's voice, got a fizz-water dispenser, tracked Chet down, and "put out the fire" by soaking him.
