3
4* In "Plunder and Lightning: Part 1", we get a scene early in the episode where Kit steals Don Karnage's latest plunder.
5-->'''Kit''': For me? Aw, you shouldn'ta! ''(runs off)''
6-->'''Don Karnage''': Well it was nothing, really... ''({{Beat}})'' STOP THAT BOY!!
7** After escaping, Kit hitches a ride to Louie's by grappling onto a plane. When he detatches, he accidentally flies into Louie's bar and bumps into Baloo who's [[ItMakesSenseInContext wearing a fruit headdress]]. When the pilot of the aforementioned plane comes in to chew Kit out, we get this exchange.
8-->'''Baloo''': Aw, cut the kid some slack, Jack!
9-->'''Kit''': Yeah, listen to the fat lady!
10-->'''Baloo''': [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne LADY]]!?
11** After his VillainSong, Don Karnage gets angry when Baloo in disguise calls out "One more time!" for an encore. He immediately shouts that only he gets to say "One more time!"
12* In "It Came from Beneath the Sea Duck", Kit and Molly are dangling from an apartment building with a telephone as a lifeline as Kit tries to call for help.
13-->'''Kit:''' Wildcat! Let me talk to Baloo!\
14'''Wildcat:''' I'll get him, Kit, hold the phone.\
15'''Kit:''' ''[[LiteralMetaphor I am! I am!]]''\
16'''Wildcat:''' ''(calls out)'' Hey Baloo, phone!\
17'''Baloo:''' ''(starting the plane)'' Not now! I gotta save Kit from the sea monster!\
18'''Wildcat''': ''(back to Kit)'' Kit, uh, maybe you should call back when you're not being eaten.
19* "Time Waits for No Bear":
20** This whole exchange:
21---> '''Trader Moe:''' Okay, boys! Ready... aim...\
22'''Kit:''' About face! FIRE!\
23''(The goons turn around, point the machine guns at Trader Moe and fire at will.)''\
24'''Rhino Goon:''' Aw, sorry, boss.\
25'''Gorilla Goon:''' Yeah, sorry.\
26'''Rhino Goon:''' That was dumb.\
27'''Gorilla Goon:''' It was dumb.\
28'''Rhino Goon:''' We was just following orders.\
29'''Gorilla Goon:''' Yeah, orders. ''(They hide the guns behind their backs)''\
30'''Trader Moe:''' '''SHUT UP!!''' You don't listen to the kid, got it?\
31'''Goons:''' Yep.\
32'''Baloo:''' Ready, aim, ''fire!''\
33''(The goons fire their machine guns again at the boss. The desk and the hat are even more riddled with bullet holes as Trader Moe gets even angrier.)''\
34'''Trader Moe:''' ''Don't'' listen to the kid! ''Don't'' listen to the pilot! Listen to ''me!'' When ''I'' say fire, you ''fire!'' ''(The goons look at him and point their weapons as he realizes in panic)'' WAIT!!!\
35''(Too late as The boss panics and he get shot at with more machine gun fire causing the boss to somehow not get riddled with bullet holes and in a cloud of smoke. He growls in irritation as he pounds the floor in anger.)''\
36'''Rhino Goon:''' But it was you this time.\
37'''Gorilla Goon:''' Yeah, yeah. You this time.
38** Rebecca's ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin / DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment moment as she stands on a roof, waving a sign at the Sea Duck and yelling aloud what's written on it:
39--->'''Rebecca''': LAND YOU IDIOT SO I CAN STRANGLE YOU!
40* Trader Moe and his goons capture Kit and Baloo as they sell {{parasol parachute}}s to a tribe of hippos who are entering a diving contest (with the prize being marriage to the daughter of their chief). Moe orders his goons to throw the heroes over the cliff, but Baloo acts all happy about that, claiming that this will give him a chance to win the diving contest and get money and status by marrying the chief's daughter. He then suggests that if Moe's goons really want to teach him a lesson and help their boss, then they should throw ''Moe'' over the cliff so he can win the contest. They fall for it hook line and sinker, even as Moe protests frantically. And to make it even funnier, Moe ''wins'' the contest, ends up married to the chief's daughter, and is fuming throughout the whole process.
41* In "Baloo Switcheroo", Baloo and Kit wind up switching bodies, but the real kicker was Rebecca getting body swapped with Don Karnage of all people. It's just amusing hearing their voices coming from the other's body.
42--> '''Karnage!Rebecca:''' Yes, I understand! ''(Runs a lap around Rebecca!Karnage)'' And I tell you this right now from where I stand I look marvelous!
43* Don Karnage's attempts to sneak the Iron Vulture past the cliff guns at the beginning of "Jumping the Gun".
44-->'''Dumptruck:''' Can ve put our coats on, captain?\
45'''Don Karnage:''' What?! And ruin a perfect cover? I am in disguise; you are in disguise; the Iron Vulture is in disguise! Life is beautiful! Within moments, my love boat will sail right under those Cape Suzette guns. See how convincing you are, ladies? ''[points to a sailor sending them a message in Semaphore]'' You have brought the attention of a handsome young sailor.\
46'''Mad Dog:''' Uh, maybe he's trying to tell us something, captain.\
47'''Don Karnage:''' Nonsense! What could he possibly be trying to tell us?\
48''[The Iron Vulture crashes into a rock, causing its disguise to fall apart. The gunners open fire.]''\
49'''Don Karnage:''' Uh-oh... Retreat!\
50'''Dumptruck:''' ''Now'' can ve put our coats on, captain?
51** "Not only am I a genius, but [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment I am very very smart too]]."
52** "I hate those gunners [[MetaPhorgotten with a passion fruit]]!"
53** The Iron Vulture disguised as a black cloud.
54-->'''Don Karnage:''' Today, Cape Suzette! Tomorrow[=--=] ''(gunners fire)'' Is another day. Retreat!
55* In “The Bigger They Are, The Louder They Oink”, Baloo, Kit, and Rebecca attempt to sneak their truffle-hunting pig into a jungle due to a warning sign forbidding to allow pigs in. They get stopped by a guard, where Rebecca passes themselves off as a family on vacation, with the fat pig disguised as a baby. The guard was naturally suspicious of the claim, so Kit utilizes InsaneTrollLogic mixed with RefugeInAudacity to get past.
56--> '''Kit:''' Well, it looks like a pig, sounds like a pig, and smells like a pig, it couldn’t be a pig, could it?
57--> '''Guard:''' Why not?
58--> '''Kit:''' Because pigs aren’t allowed in this jungle!
59* In "Her Chance to Dream", Rebecca was waiting for Baloo to return, while he's at Louie's having a party until the ghost wreaks havoc. Baloo comes back all shaken up with his "dumbest excuse" yet.
60-->'''Rebecca:''' You lowlife excuse for a pilot! When you said Molly had eaten your maps, that was cute. When you said a big hurricane blew your plane to Louie's, that was mildly amusing. [[StupidestThingIveEverHeard But]] ''[[StupidestThingIveEverHeard this]]'' [[StupidestThingIveEverHeard is stupid!!]]
61** Later, they take Rebecca to Louie's to prove its haunted. She only sees the place has become a dump, due to everything been floating and thrown around and the patrons threw a wild party beforehand.
62-->'''Louie:''' ''(talking to a tribal mask)'' Come on, make with the boogity-boo!\
63'''Baloo:''' ''(peels a banana and throws it up in the air)'' Fly! Come on, fly!\
64''[Louie makes funny faces and noises at the mask.]''\
65'''Rebecca:''' Ugh, enough!
66* The opening scene of "I Only Have Ice For You", especially Rebecca freaking out in the face of Baloo's nonchalance.
67* In the end of "The Incredible Shrinking Molly", the scientist declares he's done with shrinking experiments and decides to start on a new scientific venture: television. The others ask what that is, and he explains it is the idea of having radio shows in a home with pictures. Baloo comments "that will never catch on", just before the episode fades out... [[TechnologyMarchesOn with a TV test pattern popping up immediately after]].
68* In "The Sound and the Furry", after winning the course (being the only one with a working plane), he comes up to the other pilots for their compliments. Only for them to suddenly chase after him, thinking he sabotaged their planes. They attempt to "[[TarAndFeathers tar and feather him!]]", but since they haven't any, they substitute with "grease and spoon him!" instead.
69-->'''Baloo:''' ''(covered in engine grease and metal spoons)'' Alright, are you happy now?
70** The scamming lady mechanic, Crazy Edie, once exposed by Baloo to the angry mob and parachuting down right in front of them after the [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter gremlins]] had her getaway plane stripped, effectively getting [[HoistByHisOwnPetard nailed by her own scam]]...
71--> '''Crazy Edie''' (realizing she's busted): [[OhCrap Well, I'll be dipped...]]
72---> '''Crazy Edie get doused in engine grease and covered in ice cream spoons.'''
73--> '''Baloo''' (smugly): ... and SPOONED!
74* The entire chase scene in "A Star is Torn" where Rebecca chases down [[spoiler: Kitten Kaboodle]]. They wind up going through some of the studio's other sets and a catwalk version of ScoobyDoobyDoors. The [[RunningGag actors dressed as crooks chasing a girl in a swimsuit]] comes out of one of them.
75* The sewer chase in "Bringing Down Babyface" was crazy enough, but then the police get carried away by shoving traffic lights and signs down the manholes in their path to stop them. Then Baloo had to go [[TemptingFate tempt fate]].
76--> '''Baloo:''' They've thrown everything at us but the kitchen sink!
77--> '''Kit:''' LOOK OUT!
78--> ''([[KitchenSinkIncluded an actual kitchen sink is dropped before them, just missing the plane.]])''
79--> '''Rebecca:''' [[YouJustHadToSayIt I really wish you hadn't said that!]]
80--> '''Baloo:''' Well it could have been a bath tub...
81--> ''(a bath tub falls on top of the plane)''
82--> '''Rebecca:''' WILL YOU BE QUIET!?
83* A tied Rebecca getting sent to face the Thembria firing squad in "The Time Bandit" is a heart wrenching sight, but before the actual execution, she has to suffer through a public humiliation as she's made subject for a live radio talk show. The name of the show?
84--> '''Radio Show Host:''' Yes, Rebecca Cunningham! You're the featured guest on, "This WAS Your Life!" The radio program that asks the question, "Was it worth it?"
85--> ''(Rebecca cries in absolute embarrassment)''
86** By episode's end, Baloo conveniently forgets about the favor he promised Sally in return for faking the daily schedule for his ruse. When she comes to collect on her promised date, he desperately begs Rebecca to save him by giving him work as an excuse to not go with Sally. She gleefully gives him the day off for his "date".
87* The hijacking of the Spruce Moose in "My Fair Baloo" where Owl Capone and his gangsters rob the rich guests at gunpoint of their jewels. When they get to Rebecca, Owl thinks she's trying to skimp on them when she doesn't give up anything. When she admits to the gangster she actually doesn't own any jewelry whatsoever, he and his gang blow up laughing. To add insult to injury, all of the rich folk hostages blew up laughing as well, much to Rebecca's embarrassment.
88** Kit and Wildcat trying to train Baloo to be a gentleman. Let's just say he crashed and burned the whole course.
89* In "Sheepskin Deep", Baloo goes back to grade school since he didn't graduate and wanted to attend his grade school reunion. The principal introduces him to his class as "an inspiration to them all"; meaning stay in school or you may end up like him. The kids were scared straight by this and promise to take academics seriously.
90* In "On a Wing and a Bear", Shere Khan creates a gas shortage conspiracy in order to hike up gas prices by having Don Karnage stage fuel robberies. When he sends a messenger to deliver a telegram, Karnage demands it to be a singing one.
91** By episode's end, the conspiracy is exposed, and an angry Shere Khan decides to send a "special" telegram to Karnage for ruining things. When Karnage receives the envelope, he notices it ticking and asks if it's a watch or a clock before opening it, causing a mushroom cloud explosion.
92* The whole episode "The Ransom of Red Chimp". First, Louie completely freaks out when he hears his Aunt Louise is coming to visit, he has a special emergency procedure for it, which fails. Then she drives him crazy by partying hard in the island club that nearly wrecks it. Then she proceeds to do the same thing in the Iron Vulture when she gets "kidnapped" by the air pirates. However, the biggest one is when Aunt Louise develops an infatuation with Don Karnage, much to his horror. He spends the remainder of the episode getting [[AbhorrentAdmirer amourously pursued by Aunt Louise]], trapped on his own ship. Karnage practically begs Baloo and Louie to take Aunt Louise back.
93* In one episode, where Baloo and Kit are invited to a masquerade party, Kit decides to wear a knight's armor as a costume, only for him to be stuck inside. At the end of the episode, after Baloo and his rival return from treasure hunting, Kit finally got out of the armor and asked Baloo if the party's over.
94* In "In Search of Ancient Blunders," Don Karnage orders his crew to "[[ExactWords fire at will]]." [[LiteralMinded The pirates respond by shooting at a member of Karnage's crew named Will.]]
95--> '''Don Karnage:''' No, ''do not'' fire at Will. He is my second mate. ''[[SuddenlyShouting Fire at the Sea Duck!]]''
96* In "Paradise Lost", the villain runs toward the tree with dynamite in his hands Baloo asked him if he's going blow up the place and the villain answers him that he's going to keep the waterfall open until it's last birthday! After that, Wildcat walks up to the dynamite thinking that it's the place's birthday with excitement and stupidity. He decides to make a wish but Baloo pulls him out of the way just in time as it blew up the tree blocking the waterfall with it. In the end, Wildcat asks the stupid question which makes this scene even funnier.
97-->'''Wildcat:''' Does that mean I don't get any presents?
