2* Any scene with Animated Lizzie.
3* Jo's attempt at emotional blackmail to get Lizzie to wear the sweater her grandmother knitted for her school pictures ― that she "might not be around much longer", making it seem like Gammy Maguire is a frail old lady ― is quickly shot down by Lizzie reminding her that not only does she [[NeverMessWithGranny teach wind-surfing lessons]], but ''her'' mother is still alive too.
4* From the Halloween episode, Lizzie is put on balloon animal making duty and has no idea how to do it so she just holds up completely straight balloons.

20'''Lizzie:''' Good work, mom.\
21'''Jo:''' I have battled the Evil Shoe Baron before.
22* Lizzie is panicking over how Kate's knocked over the bust of the principal and left her holding the bag. She asks [[TheSmartGuy Gordo]] for advice, expecting something that'll help. His idea: Canada.

35** While in Matt's body, Lizzie is now able to understand Lanny. Animated!Lizzie lampshades this.

43--> '''Matt-as-Lizzie:''' I'm sorry you ran into a big bucket full of chili.
44* When Mr Digg and Sam become friends, Matt tries to do the same by inviting his SternTeacher over so she can become friends with Jo. It doesn't go well. At all. Until she runs into Mr Digg - and turns into a DefrostingIceQueen at once.
45--> "Matthew, don't worry about that homework I gave you. I have a feeling I won't even have time to grade it."
46* Jo realises that Matt is faking being sick and decides to let him have the day off school...by torturing him psychologically. He has to drink cold borscht, do fraction drills and have his hands out while she winds yarn around them. He ends up actually catching a cold when he drops ice cubes down his pants, and Jo discovers his temperature now shockingly raised.
47--> '''Jo:''' How did you get so sick?
48--> '''Matt:''' [[MadnessMantra Hot peppers...ice in my pants...]]''[[AnythingButThat no more yarn!]]''.
