14	-->'''Jenny''': You never let me do...ANYTHING I WANT! WORK! WORK! WORK! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I! NEVER! GET TO HAVE! ANY! FUN!]] (lasers are about to fire) If you don't let me go, I'll...I'LL...
15	-->'''Nora''': Don't you raise your lasers at ''me'', young lady.
16	-->'''Jenny''': (cue OcularGushers)
17	** Almost as funny as when Jenny starts simmering, this exchange between Brad and Tuck happens.
18	-->'''Brad''': Tuck, we'd better go.
19	-->'''Tuck''': Aw, but I wanna see the fight!
20	* In "The Boy Who Cried Robot," Brad attempts to educate Jenny on Tuck's antics by taking her to a bookmobile.

22	* The SheCleansUpNicely sequence from "The Great Unwashed", which is also quite adorable. [[http://chefpyro.tumblr.com/post/141317871278/this-scene-is-such-a-delight-tbh See it here]]. From the end of it:
23	-->'''Brad''': Jenny, I don't know what to say, you look --

31	--> '''Nora Wakeman''': "Who is this?!"
32	--> '''Tuck''': "I just called to say... I love you."
33	-->'''Nora Wakeman''': Excuse me? (''Dial tone'') Hello? Hello?
34	-->'''Jenny:''' (''AsideGlance'')
35	** The simple fact that, despite everyone in the party being High-school aged, Tuck's game of Pin the Tail on the Donkey is ''an absolute success''.
36	** Then the ending: end of the episode when Jenny, Brad and Tuck have finished cleaning up the party just as Mrs. Wakeman arrives...
37	--->'''Mrs. Wakeman''': This house better not be a mess...Wow! XJ-9! I can't believe you made this house so completely ''spotless''! You have no idea how proud I am of you, young lady. To show my appreciation, [[ShaggyDogStory I think I'll allow you to throw that party you've been wanting to have!]]\
38	''({{Beat}})''\
39	'''Jenny & Brad''': Ah... (''both faint'')\

45	** How Tremorton High selects its football players:
46	--->'''Coach''': Here you go Brad. ''(he tosses a football helmet at him, hitting Brad in the face with it by accident)''\
47	'''Brad''': Ow! ''(stumbles in pain, and trips over the helmet, landing on his back)'' I guess I didn't make the cut.\
48	'''Coach''': Did you black out?\
49	'''Brad''': No.\
50	'''Coach''': [[SarcasmMode Great]]. You're on the team.
51	** At the end of the episode, Jacques attempts to destroy Jenny with a giant robot bulldog after she wins the game, but [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny a cat passes by them, and the robot starts chasing the cat]], much to Jacques' ire. The two then pass by a dogcatcher's truck, getting the attention of the dogcatcher, who starts chasing them.
52	--->'''Dogcatcher''': Christmas bonus, here I come!
53	* In "Sibling Tsunami", the episode that gives us Jenny's sisters, after the flood caused by the Mad Hammer Bros. recedes we see Nora in her car with the windshield wipers on. She complains "Can't I even go to Radio Shed without pandemonium breaking out?"
54	* "Hostile Makeover":
55	** When Brad offers Jenny some of his cover-up, Tucker teases his brother for wearing make-up.

62	* In "The Wonderful World of Wizzly", Jenny tries to help integrate an amusement park's robots into regular life. Unfortunately, the robots are clearly not capable of acting outside their intended purposes, despite Jenny's hopes. Her friends confront her on this and Jenny responds they just need a chance to change and that no one will give it to them because they think [[FantasticRacism they're better than them]]. Tuck's rebuttal is less than considerate.
63	--> '''Tuck:''' Well, ''DUH''!...[[YouKnowImBlackRight they're just]] [[NotHelpingYourCase stupid robots]]...
64	--> '''Jenny:''' (''Withering'' DeathGlare)

73	--->'''Nora''': There there. It's okay. Somewhere. Just not here.
74	* In "A Pain In My Sidekick", Tucker starts fighting crime as the Tin Can. His catchphrase? "Prepare to face the [[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan wrath of can!]]"
75	** The entire episode really, '''especially''' the montage of Tuck trying to do superhero deeds but completely failing to even draw any attention.
76	-->'''Tuck''': This morning, I couldn't cross the street! Now, I can ''cross the universe!!!''
77	* In "Mind Over Matter", Jenny tries downloading some updates for herself via the internet.

80	** "Surrender!" "Surrender!" "Surrender!"
81	** "I shall eviscerate your bowels!"
82	** "The universe is not enough to contain my bruuutaaaaliiiity...."
83	** "[[{{Sting}} Bah-nah!]]"
84	** While it is still [[TearJerker sad]] when Jenny is running home crying after being berated by the other students for getting rid of Killgore. But after [[RewatchBonus subsequent viewings]] we can see she still has her giant mechanical leg, ripping off the sidewalk pavement while rotating in a clockwise motion.
85	* In "Crash Pad Crash", Sheldon stays in the bathroom and dances with a toaster, saying it'll never leave him right before it spits burning toast into his face.

88	--> (''iris out'')
89	--> '''Sheldon''': "I want my toaster."
90	* The Beethoven-lookalike announcer in "Robot Riot", who switches between acting like a distinguished gentleman and [[SuddenlyShouting a crazed hooligan]] on a dime.

97	-->'''Sheldon''': ''It's evolution gone mad!''
98	* When Jenny is being overwhelmed by action figures of herself created by Krackus, Brad and Tuck find that they're controlled through an on/off switch. Brad refuses to believe that the switch controls them, so Tuck has to explain how Krackus's DitzyGenius role would lead him to make such a poor design choice.
99	** Later on Vexus scolds Krackus stating specifically not to use an on/off switch.
100	** Sheldon gets an Action Jenny and takes it out on a date at his house. When he leans in for a kiss, it slaps him.
101	* Although "Armagedroid" is a pretty serious episode, there were a couple funny moments. Here's from when [[spoiler:they destroy the title giant robot using an incredibly powerful bomb]]
102	-->'''Tuck''': Yeah, Mrs. Wakeman, that was the bomb! \
103	'''Wakeman''': Of course it was a bomb. That was my whole plan, silly. \
104	'''Tuck''': No, I mean you're the man! \
105	'''Wakeman''': Ohh, am I getting that mustache again? \
106	'''Tuck''': No, I'm saying you're phat. \
107	'''Wakeman''': Fat am I? At least my head's not the size of a watermelon! \
108	'''Tuck''': I'm not dissing you. You're dope. \
109	'''Wakeman''': A dope am I?! I don't think they put dopes on the cover of Hot Fusion magazine! \
110	'''Tuck''': It's a compliment. Your moves out there were deaf! \
111	'''Wakeman''': Look! I may be getting old, but I am certainly not deaf, young man, and I don't like what I'm hearing! \
112	'''Tuck''': I'm just trying to point out that you're fly-- \
113	'''Wakeman''': I'm not falling for that! I'm not even wearing pants today!
114	* ''Escape from Cluster Prime'' has plenty:
115	** When Jenny kicks the Cluster rocket into the sky.
116	-->'''Mrs. Wakeman''': XJ-9, that was inexcusably reckless!\
117	'''Jenny''': Hey, I trashed the thing, didn't I? Why get your bloomers in a bundle?\

127	'''Bike Salesman''': Oh, yeah. My mistake.
128	** Vega introducing her friends, [[SimilarSquad who are obvious counterparts to Jenny's friend group on earth]], with corresponding appearances and names. [[SdrawkcabName Drab]] is a laidback robot with a stand-up orange 'hairdo' like Brad, the muddy green Shell is awkward like Sheldon, and Tuff is a tiny and round red robot with big eyes, analog to Tuck. [[VocalDissonance But there's a twist.]]

130	'''Drab''': (with a voice identical to Brad's) Heyyy!\

132	'''Shell''': (with a voice identical to Sheldon's) Hello...\

135	** Mrs. Wakeman and Sheldon volleying insults toward each other
136	-->'''Sheldon''': A secret underground lair! This makes my garage workshop look like a workshop in a garage!\
137	'''Mrs. Wakeman''': Where'd you get that idea, a gumball machine?\
138	'''Sheldon''': I'll have you know gumball machines provide a wealth of valuable information!\
139	'''Mrs. Wakeman''': You are an amateur!\
140	'''Sheldon''': You are a know-it-all!\

159	** Brad rebuking Jenny for implying he isn't mechanically inclined right after he tried to open a soda bottle by hammering on it with a can opener. He proceeds to jam it into his forehead and eye before finally getting it into his mouth. He then sucks on it like a baby bottle with a huge, self-satisfied grin.
160	** Sheldon's continued pronunciation of Pteresa as "Puh-Teresa"[[note]] "It's pronounced....TERESA!"[[/note]]
161	** The ending, where after Pteresa says "Popular people always win in the end", cut to 20 years later, she, Brit, and Tiff are ugly, and they are going to bail Sebastian (Pteresa's husband) out of jail again.
162	--> '''Pteresa''': Come on Sebastian Jr., we've gotta bail your dad out of jail again.
