6* In the beginning, as Herb Copperbottom is running throughout celebrating that he's going to be a father, he passes by a robot fire hydrant.
7-->'''Hydrant:''' Good for you, Herb! ''(Notices a robot dog sniffing at him)'' Don't even think about it.
8** Herb arrives home too late for the delivery. Which turns out to be an actual delivery of baby Rodney's parts in a box. Lydia then points out suggestively that 'making the baby is the fun part'. Skip to them actually assembling their son.
9* When Rodney's parents find him at the train station.
10-->'''Lydia''': There you are! I told you I'd find him! It's a mother's instinct!\
11'''Herb''': "Instinct"? ''He left us a note'': "I'm leaving. I'll be at the train station"!
12* The whole 'cross-town express' sequence. Rodney and Fender's pod is bounced around the city like a pinball in a RubeGoldbergDevice.
13** It starts with Fender acting like they're about to go off the track. Which they don't, obviously. They just land in a giant catapult. Immediately before they're launched, Fender quickly tells Rodney to put his head between his legs.
14** After the bit with the wheel:
15--->'''Fender:''' You know, [[WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong it used to be a lot worse.]] They had this giant hammer-- \
16'''Rodney:''' [[OhCrap AH!]]\
17'''Fender:''' ''(sees hammer)'' [[CasualDangerDialogue Oh. They brought it back.]]
18** Then after the ride ends...
19--->'''Fender''': Just stick with me, kid. I know this town like the back of my hand. ''(looks at his hand)'' Hey, that's new.\
20(''The giant hammer suddenly swings in and whacks him, sending Fender flying far into the distance'')
21* Rodney waking up to Fender attempting to steal his foot. "If I seem to be getting smaller... it's because...''I'M LEAVING!'' (Does just that.) Foot, don't fail me now!"
22* "We've told you a hundred times, 'Don't talk to strange men.' Thank you, Manuel."
23** "I talk to you. Who's stranger than that?"
24* Diesel imitating Piper when she yells at Jack Hammer.
25* Diesel puts in a defective voicebox after Rodney offers to fix Fender's neck. Cue the Darth Vader line:
26--> "The Force is strong with this one."
27** Made even funnier by the fact that Creator/EwanMcGregor, who played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequel trilogy, is the voice of Rodney. What's more is that they actually had Creator/JamesEarlJones for that scene.
28* Fender moons a Sweeper, when his back hatch falls off, spilling spare parts. The Sweeper takes offense (or detects the sudden loose parts clattering around) and starts ''backing toward him,'' while he frantically tries to collect everything.
29* Ratchet and his father:
30-->'''Ratchet''': Oh, bye, pop.\
31'''Ratchet's dad''': So long, son! Good luck with your dastardly plan!
32* '''Ratchet''': So I don’t wanna hear another, "where’s Bigweld? (imitates baby whining)".
33* Aunt Fanny's introduction.
34-->'''Rodney:''' Are sure your aunt won't mind?\
35'''Fender:''' Relax, she's not my aunt. She just takes in bots who are, um...broke. Bless her little heart.\
36'''Rodney:''' Well then, why is she called "Aunt Fanny"?\
37''(The two of them enter the room to find Aunt Fanny's comically large rear end facing them)''\
38'''Fender:''' Couldn't call her Aunt ''Booty''...\
39'''Rodney:''' WHOA!!!
40* Not to forget Rodney introducing himself to her:
41-->'''Aunt Fanny:''' And what's your name?\
42'''Rodney:''' ''(distracted by her butt)'' I'm Rodney [[FreudianSlip Bigbottom]]. ''(snaps)'' No! I'm...I'm Rodney Copperbottom! ...Copperbottom.
43* Fender accidentally showing everyone's rooms.
44** First he barges into Piper putting makeup on, causing her to shriek in terror.
45--->'''Fender''': Ya missed a spot!\
46'''Piper''': Aaaaaah! Fender! Get outta my room!\
47'''Fender''': [[ExactWords I'm not in your room!]] (''pokes his foot in the doorway'') I am now! Now I'm not. I am! Not! Am! Not! (''repeatedly pokes his foot in and out of the doorway'')\
48'''Piper''': GET OUTTA MY ROOM!
49** Next is a bit of ToiletHumor from Crank:
50--->'''Crank''': Oh, man, this is my ''third'' oil change today. Something's wrong with me.\
51'''Fender''': ''(chuckles sheepishly)'' Sorry!
52** Then when Fender finally shows Rodney his room.
53--->'''Fender''': Home sweet home. What's mine is yours! (''his arms fall off'') Oh, dear.\
54'''Rodney''': I'll get them.\
55'''Fender''': Oh, look...look at that. Oh, now they're [[{{Pun}} arm-wrestling.]] (''Cue Fender's arms literally wrestling each other, making ridiculous gibberish noises as they do'') Could you separate them? Hurry! My backside itches!
56* [[RefugeInAudacity "You know, my last roommate jumped out that window."]]
57* When Rodney and Fender do arm pit farts. We cut to the outside of the house as each window lights up as Crank and Piper join in.
58-->'''Crank''': Hey, guys? Come on, what're you, three years old? This is how a man does it. (''does his arm pit fart; Piper's window lights up'')
59-->'''Piper''': You guys are ''so'' ''gross''...Besides, ''this'' is how you do it! (''*arm fart*; Aunt Fanny's window lights up'')
60-->'''Aunt Fanny''': Hey, kids! Get a load of [[{{Gasshole}} this!]]
61-->(''Near EarthShatteringKaboom roars out from the top floor, shaking everything nearby'')
62-->'''Piper''': Aunt Fanny! We were using our ''arms!''
63-->'''Aunt Fanny''': Oh! Excuse me!
64-->'''Piper''': Eww!
65-->''(Nearby street-lamp bot abruptly keels over)''
66-->'''Street-Lamp bot''': Lady! ''(coughs)'' Please! ''(gasps)'' See a doctor! ''(passes out)''
67** It went straight [[CrossesTheLineTwice over the line]] the next morning, when the lampbot that Fanny's {{Fartillery}} brought down disappears, replaced by a ''[[ChalkOutline taped outline]].''
68* When Rodney points out that there should be an angry mob after Bigweld goes missing, one actually does run past. This causes Fender to want Rodney to [[RetroactiveWish make another "prediction"]].
69--> '''Fender''': Wow! That was great, psychic friend! Now say, "Money should be falling from the sky!"...Say it! ''(sobbing)'' ''Say it!''
70* Before Rodney and his gang starts fixing the outmodes:
71--> '''Fender''': ''(to Rodney)'' Brace yourself. You're about to get very popular. ''(to everyone)'' Only those with insurance...oh, I forgot. Everybody come on!\
72'''Large radiator-like robot:''' Parts, man! I need parts!\
73'''Rodney:''' You don't look that...''(the radiator robot falls apart)''...bad.\
74''({{beat}})''\
75'''Random outmode #1:''' Hey, everybody. Spare parts!\
76''(Robots cheer and take the fallen parts for themselves)''\
77'''Rodney:''' Wait a minute! WAIT A MINUTE! What's wrong with you robots?\
78'''Fender:''' ''(appears with an ornament on his nose from the pile)'' [[HypocriticalHumor You should all be ashamed of yourselves!]]\
79'''Rodney:''' [[LampshadeHanging Why do you have two noses?]]\
80'''Fender:''' One's for showin', one's for blowin'! ''(Wonderbot {{dope slap}}s Fender knocking the ornament out)'' Sorry.\
81'''Countryside robot:''' Hey, could you look at my arm? ''(his arm falls off when Rodney holds it, but still grips on)''\
82'''Rodney:''' Uh...nice grip.\
83'''Countryside robot:''' Like iron!\
84'''Random outmode #2:''' ''(with a tire around his waist)'' I can't rid of this spare tire!\
85'''Random outmode #3:''' ''(shown with cogs and sprockets flying off his "brain")'' [[VisualPun I am losing my mind!]]\
86'''Fender:''' Back off! Back off! He's got his own dreams that won't come true!
87* When Gasket sees Ratchet to discuss the repairing of outmodes:
88-->'''Madame Gasket''': Someone's fixing them!\
89'''Ratchet''': What?\
90'''Madame Gasket''': Someone is repairing outmodes! And they are laughing at you!\
91'''Ratchet''': Who? And are you sure they're not laughing ''with'' me?\
92'''Madame Gasket''': [[BluntYes Yes]].\
93'''Ratchet''': Oh! So what if some crazy fanatic repairs a few outmodes? Who cares?\
94'''Madame Gasket''': Think. Use those brains I stole for you. Today, it's one. What about tomorrow, when everybody gets the idea this is okay? ''(mockingly)'' "We can fix ourselves! We don't need upgrades! We want Bigweld!" ''(back to normal)'' Then what happens to YOU?!\
95'''Ratchet''': Okay, take it easy. We've gotta find out who this guy is and stop him.\
96'''Madame Gasket''': Not stop him. ''Crush'' him! ''Destroy'' him! [[MoodWhiplash And by the way, I brought you a little something for your desk]].\
97(''Gasket gives Ratchet a photo of her making a cute face in a heart-shaped frame titled "World's Best Mom"; Ratchet raises an eyebrow in disgust/confusion'')
98** Ratchet questions how Gasket got in there; she explains she came up the ventilation shaft. She moves aside and we see she ripped a giant hole in the wall; Ratchet's clear alarm and confusion as to ''how'' she did that without making a sound is evident.
99* Everything with Bigweld's Ball, especially Rodney and Fender’s attempt to sneak inside.
100-->'''Tim''': ''(chuckles)'' Can I help you?\
101'''Fender''': ''(in a thick foreign accent)'' I think a-maybe you can. This is-a Count Roderick Von Brokenzipper! Formally Count Velcro.\
102'''Tim''': Uh...duh...\
103'''Fender''': ''Where'' are the trumpets?\
104'''Tim''': Eh-eh-huh...\
105'''Fender''': We were promised trumpets to announce the Count's arrival! ''(to Rodney)'' I'm sorry, Your Grace. Beat me until you're happy. ''(Rodney slaps him in the face)'' He's happy, and I'm not feeling too bad myself!\
106'''Tim''': Lemme, uh, you’re not on the list.\
107'''Fender''': We're ''what''?! ''(to Rodney)'' Once again. ''(Rodney slaps him again)'' Ah! Thank you. ''(to Tim)'' Fine! WE will go! You will explain to your superiors why were not able to attend your luau, your barn dance, whatever it is! But we're leaving! IN A '''''HUFF!''''' ''(Rodney and Fender start to march away)''\
108'''Tim''': No, no! No, no! Please, go right in! In fact, would the Count like to hit me?\
109'''Fender''': The Count hit you? The arrogance of some people! I will hit you on his behalf. ''(hits Tim, knocking him off the booth)''\
110'''Tim''': Thank you, Your Grace. ''(his jacket flops down revealing his underwear, causing a nearby lady-bot to faint)''
111* Fender's suggestions on how to signal each other:
112-->'''Fender:''' What kind of signal do you want? You want something subtle like...''(whispering gibberish in Rodney's ear)''...or...''(clapping and barking like a seal)'' Oh, how about this? '''CA-CAW!!! CA-CAW!!!'''\
113''(everyone stares at him and Rodney looks in embarrassment)''\
114'''Fender:''' '''''[[TrillingRs RRRRRRRRRRR]][[ShoutOut RICOLAAAA!!!!]]'''''
115* Fender hitting it off with Loretta Geargrinder.
116-->'''Loretta:''' Well, there are never any interesting men at these parties.\
117'''Fender:''' ''([[CapeSwish swishes his cape]])'' Hello ladies. Fender von Fender at your service.\
118'''Loretta:''' Hi. I'm Loretta...Geargrinder. Anyone dressed as badly as you, ''must'' be an eccentric billionaire.
119* There is apparently a name for the bird Rodney uses as a signal during the Bigweld Ball:
120-->'''Fender:''' My darling! That is the cry of the deep doo-doo bird! I must fly!
121* Although Fender's encounter at the Chop Shop was part of the Nightmare Fuel, but it does have a few funny moments.
122** This bit when Ratchet is about to show his mother his new silver sweeper:
123-->'''Ratchet:''' Okay, mother, this way.
124-->'''Madame Gasket:''' Let me have a peek, I can't bear it.
125-->'''Ratchet:''' No peeking now, it's a surprise.
126-->'''Madame Gasket:''' Oh, you are a wicked boy.
127** After Fender puts on a new pair of legs, it also has a skirt. Fender's reaction was pretty hilarious.
128* This bit, after Rodney finishes his phone call home. The scene manages to make a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming]] scene a bit funny.
129-->'''Phone''': Your father loves you very much.\
130'''Rodney''': I know.\
131'''Phone''': With our Friends and Family plan, you can talk to him 500 minutes a month. Free on nights and weekends.
132* Fender trying to tell the others (though Rodney already knows) who is behind everything.
133-->'''Fender''': Hey, guess what! It's the sweepers! They're rounding up outmodes and taking them. What them? Us! To Madame Gasket's Chop Shop! And guess who's really behind it all!
134-->'''Rodney''': [[CaptainObvious Ratchet.]]
135-->'''Fender''': You don't wanna guess? Come on! I ran all this way in cha-cha heels. C'mon, take a stab!
136-->'''Rodney''': Ratchet!
137-->'''Fender''': Ratchet!
138* Bigweld's [[HesBack return to form]] is mostly a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome ''and'' a SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments, but there is one moment of humor:
139-->'''Bigweld:''' Kid, if you're gonna fight, I'm going in with you!\
140'''Rodney:''' Y-You are?\
141'''Bigweld:''' ''(gesturing at [[ComicallyOversizedButt Aunt Fanny]])'' [[DistractedByTheSexy Hey, who's the dame with the sweet keister?]]\
142'''Rodney:''' But why?\
143'''Bigweld:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I don't know, I'm a big guy]] [[HasAType and I like women with a large-]]\
144'''Rodney:''' No no no, I mean why are you gonna help us?
145* Ratchet begging Bigweld not to fire him. Then, in a fit of desperation, Ratchet brains Bigweld on the head with the intercom, knocking him out.
146-->'''Ratchet:''' ''(after learning that Bigweld is arriving)'' NO, NO! Tell him I'm not here! Tell him anything, just don't let him in!
147-->'''Bigweld''': (slamming the door '''''wide''''' open) '''''[[SayMyName RATCHET!]]'''''\
148'''Ratchet''': (''[[OhCrap screams]] [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl like a girl]] and scrambles onto Bigweld's chair'')\
149'''Bigweld''': I'll come right to the point!\
150'''Ratchet''': What happened? Run out of dominoes? I'll send ya some more!\
151'''Bigweld''': YOU'RE FIRED!\
152'''Ratchet''': [[OhCrap FIRED?!]] On what grounds?! This company's never been more profitable!\
153'''Bigweld''': (''[[ShutUpHannibal shoving Ratchet out of the Big Chair]]'') [[ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules Profits,]] [[WordSchmord schmofits!]] Now, [[GetOut GET OUT!]]\
154'''Ratchet''': No, wait! Please listen to me! You can't do this to me. This job is my ''life''! It means everything to me! You don't know what I've done to get here! [[DiggingYourselfDeeper The lies I've told, the lives I've]] ''[[DiggingYourselfDeeper ruined!]]''...[[NotHelpingYourCase This isn't helping me.]]\
155'''Bigweld''': (''into intercom mic'') Get me security!\
156'''Ratchet''': No, wait! Please! Can't I just make one more heartfelt plea?\
157'''Bigweld''': Okay, what did you wanna say?\
158'''Ratchet''': (''knocks Bigweld out with intercom mic'') THAT! (''pause'') Oh, my gosh, I'm as crazy as my mother! (''Bigweld groans; Ratchet hits him again while grunting angrily.'')
159** Creator/GregKinnear's delivery of that last line in particular just sells it.
160** Then as Ratchet has had the guards holding Bigweld hostage.
161-->'''Ratchet''': Take Fatface to the Chop Shop, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and put my name on his parking space]].\
162'''Rodney''': (''firmly'') Let GO of him!\
163'''Ratchet''': (''chuckles sarcastically'') Sure. Listen kid, it's over. (''sics the guards on Rodney, Cappy and Wonderbot'') You lost! Bigweld is gonna be melted down into next season's upgrades, along with you, your MORONIC COFFEEPOT, and Cappy. (''Cappy glares at him'') Such a waste.
164* Fender, Lug and Crank chanting "Road Trip!" inside Bigweld's limo.
165* Rodney trying desperately to fix a stunned Bigweld on the run while trying to dodge Ratchet at the same time. When he opens up Bigweld's head, his brain was a little miniature ''V-8 car engine''.
166* Rodney asking Bigweld if he's OK.
167-->'''Rodney Copperbottom''': Mr. Bigweld, are you okay?
168-->'''Bigweld''': [[NonSequiturThud I'm the prettiest girl at the Harvest Moon Ball]]!
169-->'''Rodney Copperbottom''': [[YesNoAnswerInterpretation I'll take that as a "no"!]]
170** During the chase, Bigweld starts singing "If You're Happy And You Know It" like a kid and later starts singing "Daisy Bell" like Hal 9000.
171* This scene after the heroes make their appearance.
172-->'''Madame Gasket:''' Who are THESE losers?
173-->'''Fender:''' We, sir--
174-->'''Madame Gasket:''' (completely deadpan) [[UnsettlingGenderReveal I'm a woman.]]
175-->'''Crank:''' [[LampshadeHanging Ouch.]] *Diesel's eyes break*
176* Crank [[TemptingFate tempts fate]] by telling Madame Gasket that she is surrounded 7 to 1. Cue the summoning of her Chop Shop army and then this gem:
177-->'''Fender:''' There's seven of us, and...''(starts counting)'' eight, nine...\
178'''Crank:''' ''(points to a random robot)'' Uh, did you count that one?\
179'''Fender:''' I think so. '''[[SuddenlyShouting COULD YOU ALL STOP MOVING AROUND!?]]''' This is so frustrating!!! I think I counted one of you twice!\
180'''Madame Gasket:''' While you're at it...COUNT THESE!
181* Fender beating up Gasket's mooks to the tune of Music/BritneySpears. '''[[DanceBattler Hit me baby, one more time]]!'''
182* When Herb answers Bigweld's question on needing new parts, the latter states that he has enough parts to make two Herbs. Cue his crew carrying [[NotHyperbole two boxes of Herb's model with his face and everything.]]
