6''Teletubbies'' can be legitimately funny at times.

11* "The Chair" from "Flamenco Dancing" has a scene where a voice trumpet tells Laa-Laa to sit down and stand up repetitively. Eventually, it gets too fast, and Laa-Laa just yells "[[CharacterCatchPhrase Bibbaly Cheese!]]" and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere walks off with the chair in hand]]. The voice trumpet ''still'' continues to issue commands throughout all of this.
12* "Good Morning" starts off with the Teletubbies eating Tubby Toast when the Magic Windmill starts to spin. Instead of stopping as usual, they [[TheSnackIsMoreInteresting finish their food as quickly as they can]] before finally starting the episode's Tummy Tales segment.
13* One part in "The Tubby Toast Accident" from "Feeding the Chickens" has Noo-Noo spinning around trying to catch the falling Tubby Toast.
14** There's also the fact that Tinky Winky somehow got Tubby Toast all over himself.
15* In "The Tubby Custard Cloud" from "Swimming With Stephanie", there's a part where the narrator says "The Teletubbies found it kind of inconvenient to have a cloud around". Afterwards, you can hear Tinky Winky stumble over the word "inconvenient".
16* "The Giant Tubby Toast" from "Playing With Dough" has the Tubby Toaster malfunctioning once again, this time producing a giant piece of Tubby Toast. At the end, ''[[BewaretheCuteOnes Po]]'' is the one who eats it.
17* In "Throwing Laa-Laa's Ball" from "Colors - Blue", one part has Tinky Winky looking at some blue flowers. The ball then promptly [[ButtMonkey hits him on the head, knocking him over]].
18* "Dipsy's Present" from "Christmas Crackers" has the Teletubbies trying to open a giant Christmas cracker. While [[TheUnreveal we never see what's actually inside it]], when they manage to get it open, [[StuffBlowingUp it blows up]], sending all of them a good distance backwards.
19* In an attempt to fan down the flames after the "Lion and Bear" controversy, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzC4p76HYFk a second version of the Magical Event was made]], and aside from a few light edits, {{Wacky Sound Effect}}s were placed haphazardly throughout. It's just as arbitrary as it sounds.

23* " Didgeridoo" has this:
24-->'''Narrator:''' One day in Teletubbyland, Tinky Winky had a didgeridoo in his bag.
25-->'''Tinky Winky:''' ''Pardon?''
26-->'''Narrator:''' [[RepeatToConfirm One day in Teletubbyland, Tinky Winky had a didgeridoo in his bag]].
27* The beginning of "Music" has Tinky Winky playing ''AirGuitar'' with his bag.
28* "Being Quiet" has a part where the Teletubbies answer the Tubby Phone, but continue being quiet. The Tubby Phone responds by repetitively asking, quite worryingly, if they're there. [[OverlyLongGag This goes on for several minutes until the narrator tells them they can talk again]].
29* "Silly Sausages" has a voice trumpet recite a poem about [[InherentlyFunnyWords sausages]]. Tinky Winky, Laa-Laa and Po find it funny. However, Dipsy hears it, and just gives an AsideGlance.

33* "Teletubbies Say 'Eh-Oh''" has a part where it [[MoodWhiplash abruptly changes to a soft rendition of "Mary Mary Quite Contrary"]]. When it ends, you can faintly hear the singer say "[[LampshadeHanging I'm so glad that's finished, what a terrible racket!]]"
34* Apparently, some scenes with the rabbits in the background had to be redone since the rabbits chose that time to mate.
