3	Blue's Clues follows the adventures of a smart puppy with the mentality of a preschool child and its wind-headed owners who are completely lacking in common sense, as such, hilarious moments in the midst of these adventures are inevitable.

7	* In the first episode, "Snack Time", Steve has just helped two chicks find their friends who wear matching hats. He's just about to go off to find the third clue, when [[Main/RuleOfThree a third chick jumps into his hand]]. Steve's reaction:
8	-->'''Steve:''' [[Main/DeadpanSnarker You too, huh?]]
9	** It gets even better: After helping all of the chicks help find their friends, he asks the last pair if they can help him find Blue. Where is she? On top of his head, of course.
10	* Steve, much to his dismay, [[RunningGag keeps getting splashed with water]] in "What Does Blue Need?"
11	* "Magenta Comes Over"
12	** Steve himself was the first clue. You'd think Jesus had come again with how Steve reacted to this. As if that wasn't worth enough chuckles, he always greets his drawing self whenever he reviews the clues of that episode.
13	** Throughout the episode, Steve and Blue sing/bark a sing-song of "''Magenta's coming over! Magenta's coming over!''" When Steve is performing "We Just Figured Out Blue's Clues," you can hear Blue instead barking the melody of "''Magenta's coming over!''".
14	* In "The Grow Show", the first clue is ... dirt. Steve's reaction is priceless.
15	-->'''Steve:''' We just found our first clue, and it's dirt! ... [[FlatWhat Dirt?]] ... [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Our first clue is dirt?]] ''(looks at the viewers in utter confusion)'' ... Well, now what do we do?
16	* Five words: "A sock in a bakery."[[note]]To explain: the sock was the third clue... [[AssPull and had no reason to be there at all]].[[/note]]
17	-->'''Steve:''' Who'd 'a thought?
18	* When Steve and Blue are playing with instruments, then this happens...
19	-->''(phone rings)''\
20	'''Steve:''' Hey. What instrument is that?\
21	'''Viewers:''' The telephone.\
22	'''Steve:''' What? The phone instrument? ''(Understands what the viewers are saying)'' Oh, the telephone. Yeah. ''(realizes)'' Oh, the telephone.
23	* "What Is Blue Afraid Of?" Steve says Boo's name and he jumps in fright. Works every time. Steve becomes increasingly aware of this and ends up doing it on purpose.
24	* For the whole first season and the first eight episodes of the second (except "What Does Blue Want to Make Out of Recycled Things?"), when Steve sits in the Thinking Chair after getting all three clues, he gives a very silly answer.
25	* At one point in "Blue's News" Steve and Blue enter the chalkboard (in search of Slippery's chalk friend) and boat down a river. On their journey, a giant wave appears behind them (that is about to wreck their boat)... [[ComicallyMissingThePoint which Steve (upon noticing) gestures "Hi." to.]]
26	** And then he quietly gets Blue's attention (tapping on her shoulder) to it, which is ''then'' where [[http://media.tumblr.com/84b189f20174a391ee10d7b8b6b32804/tumblr_inline_nep34iksvH1r78qpv.png they get concerned over it]].
27	* While walking through the art museum in "Adventures in Art", Steve makes this comment.
28	-->'''Steve:''' Paintings, sculptures, drawings, ''(sees four paintings together, Blue barks, and he looks at the viewers in confusion)'' [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking barking]]?

32	* In "Math!" , Steve shows the viewers a letter of a little girl who has her friends over for lunch. The mother of the girl asks the kids how many slices of pizza will be enough to feed everybody. First, she slices the pizza down the middle, making two pieces. Then, this exchange happens:
33	-->'''Girl:''' [[BigEater Two pieces for me]]!\
34	'''Another Girl:''' No waaayyy!
35	** Usually, Steve (or Joe)'s response upon mishearing the viewers say "A clue!" isn't funny. But, here:
36	--->'''Steve:''' ''(counting ice cubes in an ice tray)'' 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! 10 ice cubes! Good counting!\
37	''(at this point, the ice cubes in the nearby ice bucket shift, revealing one of them is a clue)''\
38	'''Viewers:''' A clue!\
39	'''Steve:''' ''(turns to look at the viewers; [[HeroicBSOD sounds/looks like he's about to have a heart attack]])'' ''[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Ten clues?]]''
40	* In the episode "What Experiment Does Blue Want To Try?", after looking through the magnifying glass, the viewers find the second clue. Steve pulls out his handy-dandy...magnifying glass! Even funnier, the AudibleGleam still plays, but dies down once he pulls out the magnifying glass instead.
41	** Also the kid yelling, "It's a clue, clue, [[RuleOfThree clue!]]" is pretty amusing.
42	* In "Blue's Sad Day", Steve is visibly embarrassed by a felt girl blowing a kiss at him. It's particularly amusing that ''this'' is what embarrasses him considering the world he lives in.
43	* "Blue Is Frustrated", top to bottom. From Salt and Pepper's picnic-preparation rage to Mailbox's genuine distress at his inability to fit through the window, watching [[BewareTheNiceOnes normally cheerful animated characters freaking out]] is amazingly awesome.
44	** There's also Steve having trouble ''drawing his clues''. First, the crayon gets ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oVMSbFAlno launched]]'' out of the notebook when he tries to pop it out and, later, Steve ''breaks it'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0WIDsdP5XE just by trying to draw]].
45	--->'''Steve:''' ''(holds crayon)'' Alright. Water. ''(presses crayon against notebook paper; cue crack)'' Oh that's ''really'' frustrating it makes me.. ''(his face just ''screams'' TranquilFury and [[{{Angrish}} mumbles gibberish]], [[TranquilFury before looking at the camera and snapping the broken part of the crayon]] and gives a calm smile)''
46	* Steve impersonating Music/ElvisPresley in "What Story Does Blue Want to Play?" because he's playing a "king." This reference [[ParentalBonus would definitely be understood by any parents watching]].
47	* "Blue's Birthday" has a part near the end that [[EditedForSyndication isn't shown in reruns]] where Steve opens a present for him, which inside has presents inside those presents. At one point, he has a purple present that's medium-sized.
48	-->'''Steve:''' Oooooh... You'll never guess what this is. Go ahead, guess!\
49	'''Viewers:''' A toaster!
50	** Speaking of things not shown in reruns, there's a scene that's only on the VHS where Steve learns the birthday dance from three kids who live in an apartment. What it boils down to is something you'd see as a bonus feature on the DVD, but it's hilarious nonetheless.
51	* A RunningGag in "What Does Blue Want to Build?" is Steve wanting to use his tool belt to help build something, only for it to be unnecessary. At the end of the episode, they finish building the fort that Blue wanted to build, [[YankTheDogsChain once again, without Steve's help]]. What does Steve do? He takes out his hammer and lightly taps it with a "squeak".
52	* In "What Does Blue Want to Make Out of Recycled Things?", Steve and Blue meet Al Luminum, mayor of Recycle Town, who constantly [[AccidentalMisnaming misstates Steve's name]]. He calls him "Stu", "Stone", and "Stan" before finally getting it right.
53	* In "Blue's Surprise at Two O'Clock", Mailbox is running late when mailtime arrives, and he tells Steve to give him a minute. Cue Steve literally waiting [[OverlyLongGag an entire minute]], complete with a timer onscreen, and having to keep breaking the awkward silence.
54	* In "Steve Gets the Sniffles", one of the mishearing gags:
55	-->'''Steve''': "Flu? You think I have the flu? I hope not!"

58	[[folder: Season 3]]
59	* In "Art Appreciation", there is an art show happening at Blue's house. While looking for clues, Steve checks out everyone's artwork. Tickety shows him her fingerpainting of a fish swimming in the ocean. Afterwards, Slippery Soap shows his painting of a fish in green and blue. Next, Steve checks on the felt friend, Phaedrus, who has made a mosaic, also of a fish. Then he goes to the kitchen and visits Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper, and Paprika, who were making something that was hidden under a fish-shaped sheet.
60	-->'''Mrs. Pepper:''' We're making a vegetable sculpture.\
61	'''Mr. Salt:''' But you can't see it. Not until we unveil it at the art show.\
62	'''Steve:''' Oh, okay. Just as long as it's not another fish.
63	** The look on Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper's faces after that was priceless.
64	* From the aptly titled "What's So Funny?"
65	--> '''Sock Puppet:''' [[SubvertedCatchPhrase We are looking for clues now.]] [[BreakingTheFourthWall This is the part where we sing about the clues]]!
66	** There's a town called Silly Town, which features a construction worker using a ''banana'' instead of a hammer.
67	--->'''Steve''': Question, why not a hammer?
68	--->'''Construction Worker''': I think I'm going [[{{Pun}} bananas]]!
69	** When the rabbit asks Steve and Blue if they're the mechanics, Steve says something you would ''not'' want to hear someone say if they planned to fix your vehicle:
70	--->'''Steve''': "The mechanics? Oh, you mean the ones who fix stuff!"
71	* From "The Wrong Shirt":
72	-->'''Steve:''' ''(walks into the room and [[FailedASpotCheck fails to notice the tree behind him]])'' [[ItMakesSenseInContext So, do you see anything that's the opposite of how it's supposed to be?]]\
73	'''Viewers:''' That tree!\
74	'''Steve:''' ''(slightly confused)'' [[FlatWhat Excuse me, a- a]] ''[[FlatWhat tree]]?''
75	** There's also what kicks off the episode: Steve [[EpicFail managing]] to put on the ''opposite'' of his usual attire (as in a brown shirt and green-striped pants)... and [[FailedASpotCheck only realizing it]] when the viewers point it out.
76	* In "Inventions", Steve is about to skidoo back home but fails to notice a clue in front of him. This exchange sells it.
77	-->'''Steve:''' Clue skidoo? Ok, that's kinda fun. Blue skidoo--
78	-->'''Viewers:''' Wait! A clue!
79	** Even the ''music'' stops midway through Steve's short song.
80	** The kid's [[InopportuneVoiceCracking voice even cracks]].
81
82	* In "What's That Sound?", the second clue is a cloud. Steve is about to draw it in the notebook when, in a rare moment of awareness, he does a DoubleTake by looking back at the cloud and wondering what the hell his dog just did. Even funnier, it breaks a long silence from him after he decides to stop talking to listen to the outdoor sounds.
83	-->'''Steve:''' How did Blue get a paw-? ''(pauses again before drawing the cloud)'’
84	** Later in the same episode, Steve and Blue find Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper having a movie night. When Mrs. Pepper complains that the sound is broken, Mr. Salt decides adjusting the focus on the projector will fix it… and only succeeds in [[EpicFail turning the movie into a blurry mess.]] Blue just shakes her head.

86
87	[[folder: Season 4]]
88	* Spanish is used throughout "Un Dia con Plum"...
89	-->'''Viewers:''' A clue. Or ''una pista''.\
90	'''Steve:''' A pizza? I like pizza.
91	* The first time we see Joe, Steve tells him "You've grown!" It's about the only plausible way to quickly acknowledge that Joe is taller than Steve, despite the fact that he's supposed to be younger than him.
92	* Steve goes to college on, wait for it, ''a hopscotch scholarship''.[[note]] The idea of hopscotch being considered such a complex, difficult sport that a college would willingly pay for someone's schooling there just so they could have an expert on side is hysterical.[[/note]]
93	** During "Steve Goes To College," which is about what Steve will bring with him to college, Joe mishears "A clue!" as "Shoes" and asks the viewers if they think Steve will take his shoes to college. Steve says that [[CaptainObvious he actually will be taking his shoes with him]].

97
98	[[folder: Season 5]]
99	* In "Morning Music" Blue goes to ''the bathroom''. Shouldn't she be going outside like normal dogs?
100	** It's just funnier considering that Joe was singing while a dog's on the freaking toilet and only ''he'' can keep a straight face.
101	*** Later, ''Sidetable Drawer'' has to go to the bathroom, while singing, "Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go...".
102	*** How can Sidetable go to the bathroom in the first place, or even use toilet paper?
103	* In "Patience," Blue places a ''giant clue pawprint'' on the roof of the house. For added amusement, Periwinkle is present with Joe and gets in on the [[RunningGag usual act]] of [[ICantHearYou mishearing the kid]].
104	-->'''Viewers:''' On the roof!\
105	'''Periwinkle:''' Blue's on the roof?!
106	** And even more funny when the camera is further away and Joe [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it.
107	--->'''Joe:''' Hey! How'd you get over there?!
108	* In "Let's Write" the viewers play Blue's Clues to figure out what word Blue wants to write. It turns out to be "Joe." As the clues are being solved...
109	-->'''Joe:''' Juh-oe. Juh-oe. What word is that?\
110	'''Viewers:''' Joe!\
111	'''Joe:''' ...Yes?
112	* "Bedtime Business" features a "pillow notebook," which at one point Joe pretends as if it's an actual pillow, holding it up to his head as if he's going to fall asleep.
113	-->'''Joe:''' So cuddly. ... Just kidding.
114	** In the same installment, a late-night mail delivery is delivered by Mailbox, and at the end of the letter, a toothbrush falls out of the letter, which is the third clue. Since mail is almost always taken in the Thinking Chair, that's where Joe happens to be. After he's done drawing the clue, he says that it's "Time to sit in our Thinking Chair," hops ''out'' of the Thinking Chair to go to it, then realizes what he just did as the usual [[LettingTheAirOutOfTheBand "Thinking Chair" music comes to a halt.]] He then stares briefly at the chair, points to the seat, and slowly sits down, a sheepish look on his face.
115	-->'''Joe:''' (''chagrined'') Well, now that we're in our Thinking Chair, let's think.
116	* At the beginning of the 100th episode, Mr. Salt proposes a toast. [[VisualPun He then pulls out a piece of toast and takes a bite out of it.]]
117	** When Steve returns, he reports that he's become captain of the varsity hopscotch team. [[note]] [[ArtisticLicense Since when is hopscotch a team sport]]?[[/note]]
118	* In "Our Neighborhood Festival," as everyone races to see the fireworks, Joe comments "There goes the neighborhood.”

121	[[folder: Season 6]]
122	* There's a FunnyBackgroundEvent in "The Legend of the Blue Puppy" where you can see Boris eating a piece of CartoonCheese on a plate.
