* ChristmasCake: Brock gets a sort of male variation of this trope in this episode, when he solicits Gary's cheerleaders for a date and they respond with "Yes, sir!" This is actually softened from the Japanese, where the girls outright call Takeshi an old man (despite the fact that he's actually in his early teens). Nevertheless, Brock's English dialogue suggests he knows what "sir" really means in this case:
--> '''Misty:''' Brock's over the hill already.
--> '''Brock:''' All right, so they think I'm an old man, but I don't care! I'm desperate!

* HotSpringsEpisode: Well, a ''scene'', anyway. Ash, Misty, and Brock are shown discussing the situation while in a hot spring. One has to wonder what Misty is, or isn't, wearing.
** It turned out to be a RedHerring. They all were clothed, with Misty wearing a bikini with no shoulder straps, making it only ''look'' like she was less clothed in the springs. (Yes, even in the original Japanese. The bikini was not a 4Kids addition.)
