Go To

1* After Pam picks Ralph up at the hospital, before she knows what happened, she insists Ralph tell her what's going on and that she can handle anything. So, Ralph explains: "Last night, I was approached by a flying saucer out in the desert. Anyway... this saucer, they talked to us over the car radio. And Bill's partner-- he's a G-man-- came out of the saucer, but he was dead. He had this package under his arm and he gave it to me. There were instructions on how to use the suit, but I lost them. And I tried to fly to the courthouse because I was in this terrible traffic jam, but I couldn't fly straight. And I ran into this wall and I got arrested."
2* In the episode where Ralph and Bill were threatened by a biker gang, Ralph recovers his super-suit and goes off in pursuit of them. Before he does, though, he says reassuringly: "They're mean, but they've got room-temperature I.Q.s".
3* Bill's antics after [[IntoxicationEnsues being shot up]] with TruthSerum in "Operation: Spoilsport."
4* Anytime Ralph crash lands after flying (and for that matter, him constantly struggling as he tries to fly).
5* Some of Pam's facial expressions in response to the absurdities around her, especially sideways glares, are just priceless, and are quite naturally featured in the opening credits.
6* Ralph runs into a previous suit wearer who is now old and needs an oxygen bottle. When he learns that Ralph lost the manual, he nearly dies laughing, literally.
