7	* Nudge's endless motormouth.
8	* [[DeadpanSnarker The three oldest flock members]].
9	* Anything Total says or does.
10	* Max's occasional use of BuffySpeak, as if to remind us that she is in fact a teenager. Or her more unique [[GoshDangItToHeck minced oaths]], such as "Holy mud" or "You are in deep sneakers."

12	--> Max: Even Fang had winced at that last gear-grinding.

16	[[folder:The Angel Experiment]]
17
18	* Max, upon seeing Ella being harassed by gang members:
19	--> Don't even get me started on the whole Y chromosome thing. I live with three guys, remember? They're three of the ''good'' ones, and they're still obnoxious as all get out.
20	* Ari getting sprayed with green paint by Nudge. Even better when, next time he appears, it still hasn't come off.
21	* Max's reaction to her first bite of fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies. And her fetish-y drive to look for another cookie that's anywhere near as delicious.
22	* The fast-food restaurant in the desert.
23	--> Clerk: Feeding a crowd?
24	--> Fang: Yes ma'am.
25	--> Max: (thinking) Yeah, him and all his split personalities.
26	** And, of course, when [[BigEater the flock is scarfing down hot delicious fast food]]:
27	--> Max: They looked like starving orphan children. Hey! They ''were'' starving orphan children.
28	* The entire scene at the Garden Tavern. Full. Freaking. Stop.
29	* "I shot him the bird. [[DontExplainTheJoke Get it? I shot him the -]] [[LampshadeHanging Never mind]]."

31	--> Gazzy: I still wish you'd let me get "Bite Me" shaved into the back of my head.
32	--> Max: No.
33	--> Gazzy: Iggy got ''his'' ear pierced.
34	--> Max: ''[[GratuitousGerman Nein]].''
35	--> Gazzy: (imitating the stylist) But everyone does it!
36	--> Max: [[PigLatin O-nay]].
37	* The schizo hacker fleeing Max and company in fright (the second time).
38	--> Fang: I can't take you ''anywhere.''
39	--> Max: (narrating) I so wish he [[JustAFleshWound weren't all banged up]] - so I could whack him.
40	* Angel getting to keep Total, and Fang's reasoning to Max:
41	--> She made [[PuppyDogEyes Bambi eyes]] at me. [[CutenessProximity You know I can't resist it when she does Bambi eyes]].
42	* Iggy's introduction in the manga.
43	--> Iggy: (bumps into something off-screen) OW! (coming into view) Who moved the coffee table?
44	--> Max: (sheepish) Sorry, Iggy. The hallway just looked so empty.
45	--> Iggy: (flopping onto a couch) Well, warn me next time. Remember, I'm blind.
46	--> Max: (thinking) Then please act like you are.
47	** This is followed by him suggesting [[LethalChef Max will kill them all if she cooks.]]

50	[[folder:School's Out - Forever]]
51	* The flock's encounter with the FBI at the hospital.

54	--> Fang: Make yourself at home, Figgy.
55	* The reactions to Gazzy's suggestion that the girls take the extra bed.
56	--> Max: Excuse me, [[CatchPhrase sexist piglet]]?
57	--> Nudge: Yeah. Like, I'm too much of a cream puff to sleep on the floor?
58	* [[TheReveal Total can talk!]]
59	--> Total: Yeah. So? It's not like I lied about it. Between you and me, I'm still trying to get used to the whole flying-kid thing.
60	* [[ArtisticLicenseBiology Total getting coffee served in his doggie dish]].
61	* The angry, LargeHam known as Headmaster Pruitt.
62	** And Gazzy's imitation of Pruitt on the way home from school.
63	* "If you're ever feeling a lack of middle-aged white men, just pop into the Capitol."
64	* Sam's description of "hell dinner" to Max.
65	--> Mom will try to keep Aunt Phyllis away from the liquor, [[INeedAFreakingDrink but it won't work]].
66	* Disney World.
67	* The [[AllegedCar patchwork Toyota Echo]].
68	** Fang putting "Jigsaw" in reverse.
69	* Clone!Max's first encounter with the flock. She's very shocked that [[LethalChef Original!Max doesn't do the cooking]].
70	** Even funnier is that ''this'' is how the flock realized she was a fake.
71	-->'''Max:''' Did you know that wasn't me, the other Max?\
72	'''Fang:''' Yeah.\
73	'''Max:''' When?\
74	'''Fang:''' Right away.\
75	'''Max:''' How? We look ''identical''. She even had identical scars and scratches. She was wearing my clothes. How could you tell us apart?\
76	'''Fang:''' She offered to cook breakfast.
77	* [[BigNo The reaction to "Does anyone wanna sing 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall]], following the [[BigNo reaction to Max asking if they want Total to sit in the backseat of Jigsaw]].

81	[[folder:Saving The World And Other Extreme Sports]]
82
83	* Gazzy singing a Music/WeirdAlYankovic song exactly like the original. And when you find out what the song is about...
84	--> Nudge: ''Enough'' with the constipation song.
85	* Total making a little suggestion: "Let's lift some cards. We could play Texas Hold 'Em. I would kick your butts."
86	** Which makes Angel wonder how Total could play cards when he has no fingers or thumbs. Unless...?
87	* Max's dopey profession of love to Fang while under the influence of Valium. This, along with the final result of Max's [[ItMakesSenseInContext chip-removing microsurgery]] leads to a truly epic MoodWhiplash and HumiliationConga combination attack.
88	** And, later, when Fang delivers an IronicEcho:
89	--> Max: [[AtomicFBomb My shriek of appalled rage]] could have been heard in California, or maybe Hawaii.
90	* [[MadScientist Roland ter Borcht]]. Perhaps the biggest source of {{Narm}} in the entire series. Seriously, just read his lines out loud in your best Arnold Schwarzenegger accent. You. Will. Die. ROFLing.
91	** Turned up to twenty-four when Gazzy imitates his voice: "[[FunetikAksent I vill now eat nine Snickers bahrs, visout bahfing]]."
92	* An [[BeleagueredAssistant Itex underling]] comes to take away Iggy and Gazzy for extra tests during the whole MindScrew incarceration period. Thirteen words: "Now, skedaddle on out of here, before we turn you into a doorstop."
93	* Fang really doesn't want to have an EnemyMine with Ari...
94	--> Fang: Choose now. ''Me or him.''
95	--> Max: [[SarcasmMode Gosh, Fang, you romantic fool]]. How incredibly [[CatchPhrase sexist-pig]] of you.
96	--> Fang: [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Not as a boyfriend, you idiot]]!
97	* Nudge: "I wanna go see the [[{{Malaproper}} Eiffel Towel]]!"
98	* Max decides to save the girls and Ari a little energy by having them fly to England...on a plane.
99	--> Total: [[LampshadeHanging Isn't that]] [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment redundant]]?
100	* Since "[[AllMenArePerverts they're all guys here]]," Fang complies with Iggy's request to describe the hot beach bunnies, knowing that were Max there they'd get slammed for being [[CatchPhrase sexist pigs]].
101	** Don't forget Iggy's reaction to Fang's incredibly visual descriptions.
102	** The boys' entire stay in Los Angeles.
103	* The responses from kids visiting Fang's blog. Grammar optional.
104	** One particular commenter asks whether a member of the flock would lay eggs or have children normally. Fang's response?
105	--> Fang: [[MisterSeahorse With any luck at all, I won't do either]].
106	* When Nudge wants to see the "[[{{Malaproper}} Loovra]]," Max refuses, saying "[[CallBack There isn't enough Valium in the world to get me in there]]."
107	* Max and company spot the infamous Max II, as well as [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Nudge II and Angel II]]!
108	** And Total is so offended that he didn't get a clone.
109	* Nudge points out that there shouldn't be prisons in the new "perfect world."
110	--> Max: Decades of [[InsaneTrollLogic psycho logic]] picked apart in ten seconds by an eleven-year-old. TakeThat, modern science!
111	* Fang's IronicEcho to the Flyboys: "I am one of many! I am one of many! You have no idea!" Also doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
112	* And, in the end, the boys request souvenirs from Europe...
113	--> Iggy: Yeah! Like, a French ''girl!''
114	--> Max: Can we say "[[CatchPhrase sexist pig]] one more time?
115
116	[[/folder]]
117
118	[[folder:The Final Warning]]
119	* Jeb's face when Nudge is discovering her new magnetic ability "[[NoodleIncident looked the way it did on the day he found]] [[NoodleImplements the frogs in the toilet]]."
120	* The flock meeting Congress for the first time. That is all.
121	* Total: "[[BerserkButton I got bathed]]!"
122	* Reason #52 why Gazzy isn't the flock leader: he [[ItMakesSenseInContext dive-bombed the Pentagon]].
123	--> Max: No, Gazzy, don't! [[CaptainObvious It's a government building! They're even more paranoid than we are]]!
124	* Three chapters in a row featuring the Uber-Director are headed [[FunWithSubtitles Subterranean, Subterranean, Terranean]].
125	* "[[AllegedCar Frankly, 'research vessel' seemed like a twenty-five-cent name for a ten-cent boat]]."
126	* Max feeling jealous of the [[MayDecemberRomance attention Dr. Brigid Dwyer is paying to Fang]].
127	* Iggy learning he can see whiteness.
128	--> Fang: Made Max wish she'd brushed her hair sometime in the last mouth.
129	* Total unexpectedly growing wings.
130	* "Angel? Baby penguins eat a regurgitated mixture of partially digested fish, krill, and an oily substance from their fathers' stomachs. [[{{Squick}} Do you want to barf up a mixture of raw fish and krill into a baby penguin's cute, cheeping mouth]]? Like, every hour?"
131	** "Sometimes my cold logic astounds even me."
132	* "Fangalator - U r the coolest. I want a tat of your wings on my back. Like, life size."
133	** "Unless your back is fourteen feet across, you are out of luck, my friend."
134	** "Fang. Just - Fang."
135	* [[EliteMook Goz]][[MechaMook en]] speaking to the flock for the first time: "[[WellIntentionedExtremist We are against global warming]]. [[InsaneTrollLogic Therefore we are violently opposed to your kind.]]
136	* The Uber-Director's attempt to conduct the auction failing miserably. What should be a source of world-class {{Squick}} ends up being yet another source of world-class {{Narm}} instead. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools But it's so freaking hilarious]]...
137	--> Max: Uh, you okay, UD? Is it okay if I call you UD? (to Gozen) Is he okay? Does he need a feed bag hooked up or something?
138	** Especially (and do I mean ESPECIALLY) Gazzy's [[{{Gasshole}} nuclear fartage.]]
139
140	[[/folder]]
141
142	[[folder:Max]]
143
144	* The meeting with the Hollywood agents. Full stop.
145	* "The color of my eyes is like barfed-up chocolate?"
146	* "...Not in a box, not with a fox! No go to sleep, ''before I kill you''!"
147	* Dr. Martinez teaching Max to make a Mexican dish. [[LethalChef The flock, knowing Max is not known for five-star cooking, considers ordering a pizza]].
148	** The fact that Max is unable to fly at this point in the novel also causes her BerserkButton to be pushed a lot more easily.
149	* Max's romantically-induced brain fart:
150	--> This is my brain: O This is my brain after making out with Fang: • It's very sad.
151	* "[[AcCENTUponTheWrongSylLABle Max-HIH-mum Ride]]."
152	--> Max: I-AM a dumb-bot!
153	* Max can't spell "doppelganger," so she tries several times, each time getting it hilariously wrong and crossing it out before settling for "look-alike."
154	* The flock's first encounter with the Navy. Must be seen to be believed.
155	** And, especially, the whole "BS" testing they have to go through. [[OverlyLongGag It should take several days at least, but the flock smashes all records and completes it in only one. And there are several chapters full of all the hilarious results.]]
156	* After Gazzy got stung by a man-o-war, Iggy "[[{{Squick}} offered to pee on him, but they said no]]."
157	* Max's reasons why boarding a sub is not a good thing:
158	--> 1. The flock are just about the most claustrophobic life-forms you would ever meet; and 2. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking We would be trapped in a small, relatively confined space ''with the Gasman'']].
159	** A major panic attack prompts suggestions that Max [[CallBack take some Valium so she can relax]].
160	*** "[[BigNo NO]]! Why does everyone keep wanting to drug a ''child?''"
161	* The [[HollywoodAtheist admittedly non-religious Max]] being forced to ride in a little submersible...with Gazzy, making her pray "to every deity [she] could think of" for Gazzy not to [[{{Gasshole}} let rip]].
162	* "[[ItMakesSenseInContext Yes, the Gaz-Ig-Nart technique seems to be neutralizing the enemy]]."
163	* [[DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu The Krelp]] [[{{Squick}} melting Mr. Chu's undersea dome with their body snot]].
164	** Gazzy is disappointed that he can't create snot bubbles that big.
165	* The Voice: "[[CaptainObvious Beware of Mr. Chu. And maybe Brigid]]."
166	--> Max: [[LampshadeHanging Maybe? I'd say, ''really.'' Wouldn't you]]?
167
168	[[/folder]]
169
170	[[folder:Fang]]
171
172	* Just like "doppelganger" in the previous book, Max can't get [[AffablyEvil Dr. Gunther-Hagen's]] name right. Ever. Examples include "Dr. Gub-Hub," "Dr. Hunka-Munka," and (in reference to his suit) "Dr. Seersucker."
173	* Max's insistence on homeschooling the flock. Results [[MoodWhiplash alternate between hilarious and melancholy]].
174	* Max and Fang in Vegas. Especially given [[YoungerThanTheyLook how long it takes others to realize they're underage]].
175	* Angel turning up the mind-reading/mind-controlling on the Hollywood agents. We get the literary equivalent of a GilliganCut for extra laughter.
176	* Max's remark on the fact that Jeb is wearing a hospital gown after being shot. [[RhymesOnADime Yes, it's the kind with the peekaboo behind]].
177	* And finally, some of the unpublished blog entries and the crazy fan questions ("Do you smoke apples?") that follow up the epilogue. At least we get some giggles, which is a [[MoodWhiplash welcome relief]] considering the unexpected and extremely sad ending.
178
179	[[/folder]]
180
181	[[folder:Angel]]
182
183	* Max: My obituary would read "killed by love." If I'd died, that is, and if I'd had such a smarmy obit. Which, please, spare me, I beg you.
184	* Yet another instance of Dylan provoking a total {{Squee}} bomb by making a public appearance with the rest of the flock.
185	* Fang's Gang. Especially the interactions between Ratchet and the girls. Especially-especially [[BelligerentSexualTension Ratchet and Kate]].
186	** When Fang's Gang has a Cheese Whiz fight. "the gang burst through the door, howling and armed with… Cheez Whiz."
187
188	[[/folder]]
189
190	[[folder:Nevermore]]
191
192	* Max yelling at Dylan to get ready for school...only to point out Max is still in her pajamas.
193	* It speaks volumes that, less than twenty pages into the final book, this is the last truly funny moment in the entire series. Goes to show how [[DarkerAndEdgier dark and dangerous]] the apocalypse truly is.
