1* "London Town Treachery":
2** The Ant Hill Mob is searching for Penelope, with Dum-Dum in a hot air balloon and using a pair of binoculars. Being Dum-Dum, however, he find ways to mess it up.
3--->'''Clyde:''' See anything, Dum-Dum?
4--->'''Dum-Dum:''' *''trying to look through the case''* I can't see a thing, Clyde!
5--->'''Clyde:''' It would help if you took the binoculars outta the case, you dum-dum!
6--->(''Dum-Dum takes the binoculars out... and [[TooDumbToLive looks into the case]]'')
7--->'''Dum-Dum:''' The case doesn't work any better! I ''still'' can't see a thing!
8--->'''Clyde:''' (''FacePalm'') Oh, brother...
9** Earlier, there's Pockets inflating the balloon inside Chuggaboom.
10** When Clyde asks Zippy to help Dum-Dum out, Zippy runs up to the balloon and tosses Dum-Dum back into Chuggaboom.
11** While the Anthill Mob looks for the secret entrance in the castle where Penelope is held captive, Yak-Yak climbs into a cannon, and the Hooded Claw lights the fuse, sending him flying- and laughing- into a wall.
12** Clyde sends Zippy to get knight suits for the Anthill Mob when they fight the Bully Brothers, and Zippy brings back nightshirts by mistake.
13** The Anthill Mob and Bully Brothers, all clad in knight suits, becoming tin cans when they charge into each other.
14** Dum-Dum forgetting his own name, and, when Snoozy reminds him of it, thinking it's a funny name.
15--->'''Clyde''': Oh boy. Dum-Dum was born stupid and he's getting worse.
16** When the Anthill Mob passes Penelope along, Dum-Dum, at the back end of the line, accidentally tosses her into the Hooded Claw's waiting arms.
17** Dum-Dum imitating the Earl of Crumpet's unintelligible speech.
18* In "The Boardwalk Boobytrap", the Hooded Claw plans to deposit Penelope in a canning factory ([[ItMakesSenseInContext along with a lot of fresh fish]]). Feeling in a good mood, he offers to give her a blindfold.
19-->'''Penelope:''' I'd prefer a clothespin. I can't stand the smell of fish!
20-->'''Hooded Claw:''' I'm not in ''that'' good a mood.
21** In the same episode, Penelope figures that since she's still in the phone booth she was caught in (again, ItMakesSenseInContext), she can call the Ant Hill Mob for help. When Pockets answers the phone he says, "You don't say!" several times. Then he hangs up and Clyde asks him where Penelope is.
22--->'''Pockets:''' She didn't say.
23*** It should be noted that that joke is pretty much as old as the telephone itself. It was most famously used by Music/SpikeJones and His City Slickers' rendition of "Chloe".
24** So the Mob doesn't know where Penelope is. How do they solve this conundrum?
25--->'''Clyde:''' Quick, Zippy! Trace that call!
26--->'''Zippy:''' Right, Clyde!
27--->(''Zippy [[ToonPhysics dives into the telephone]] and travels along the wire until he reaches Penelope's phone booth and his head pops out of the receiver'')
28--->'''Zippy:''' Oh, there ya are, Penelope!
29--->(''He dives back in and travels back along the wire. Cut to an [[StunnedSilence absolutely gobsmacked]] Hooded Claw'')
30--->'''Hooded Claw:''' ...I see it, but I don't believe it.
31** The Ant Hill Mob and Chuggaboom try to rescue Penelope by balancing on a stack of barrels, but they're too short to reach. Clyde, however, makes [[DidntThinkThisThrough the mistake]] of revealing this to Dum-Dum:
32--->'''Clyde:''' We're one barrel short!
33--->'''[[LiteralMinded Dum-Dum]]:''' One barrel, comin' up! ''*jumps out of Chuggaboom*''
34--->'''Clyde:''' [[OhCrap ...what did I say?]]
35--->(''Dum-Dum [[TooDumbToLive pulls the bottom barrel out of the stack,]] causing the Anthill Mob and Chuggaboom to fall.'')
36** Earlier in this episode, there's also the Antill Mob mistakenly pulling almost everyone on the beach under the sand while looking for Penelope. Then Clyde discovers that her feet are on top of Dum-Dum.
37** The Bully Brothers falling off the boardwalk into the water in their [[TwoMenOneDress two-man horse costume]] after the Anthill Mob rescues Penelope from them.
38--->'''Bully Brothers''': ''(to each other)'' I thought you were steering.
39* After Penelope steals his hot-air balloon in "Wild West Peril", the Hooded Claw shouts, "Help! Police!" [[OhCrap then realises what he's saying]] and looks horrified.
40* At one point in "Cross Country Double Cross", Penelope is driving on a jalopy, heading for an unveilling ceremony for a statue, with the Hooded Claw waiting atop a cliff, intending to drop a rock on Penelope. But at the same time, the Bully Brothers are following Penelope and get an idea to cut her off the road. They pass her and block the road... JUST as the Hooded Claw pushes the rock off and flattens them, and Penelope going over the rock and the flattened Bully Brothers. SmashCut over to the Hooded Claw making a telephone call to the Evil Henchmen Employment Agency to complain about the Bully Brothers's incompetence.
41** Earlier in that episode, there's the Bully Brothers accidentally kicking open a box of ferocious wildcats, and subsequently getting chased by them.
42*** Later, after they kidnap Penelope while disguised as bears, they're about to eat the kumquat fritters she gave them, only to get chased by real bears.
43** After Penelope uses a swan dive to save the Anthill Mob, there's this bit:
44--->'''Narrator''': Three cheers for Penelope! ''(cut to the Hooded Claw and Bully Brothers)''
45--->'''Bully Brothers''': Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!
46--->'''Hooded Claw''': Oh, shut up.
47** Sylvester Sneekly throwing a TimeBomb at the Bully Brothers to save his statue.
48* The Hooded Claw's tantrum at the end of "The Treacherous Movie Lot Plot" among seeing he forgot to put film in his movie camera and missed the opportunity to get great footage of Penelope being saved from his traps. He [[ManChild collapses on the ground, kicking his feet and banging his fists and sobbing "Blast! Blast!"]]
49* In "Arabian Desert Danger" Dum-Dum lights a match... [[TooDumbToLive while the Ant Hill Mob are trapped in an oil tanker]]. Clyde [[OhCrap is quick to order him to put it out]] but too late, the whole thing blows up. A singed Dum-Dum blows the match out after the fact, with a look that says "Oh that was stupid even for me". Meanwhile Clyde wordlessly looks at the camera and drums his fingers with a look that says "You know I can't even pretend this surprises me at this point."
50* "Big Bagdad Danger":
51** The WalkLikeAnEgyptian scene.
52--->'''Bully Brothers''': ''(DisguisedInDrag; with feminine voices)'' We are your maidservants. Walk this way, please.
53--->'''Penelope''': ''([[WalkThisWay mimics their walk as she follows them]])'' My, what a funny way to walk! ''(The Hooded Claw follows her, doing the exact same walk.)''
54** The Anthill Mob scaring the Bully Brothers away from Ali Baba's cave with their Forty Thieves costumes.
55--->'''Bully Brother 1''': It's the Forty Thieves!
56--->'''Bully Brother 2''': There's only seven of them!
57--->'''Bully Brother 1''': Well, I'm not waiting for the other 33! ''(they run away)''
58* Pockets mistaking a shower head for a heat lamp while he and the rest of the Anthill Mob are soaking wet in a freezer in "The Terrible Trolley Trap".
59** Before that, there's the mob searching for Penelope in the ship's kitchen, and Dum-Dum getting his head stuck in a kettle.
60* In "Carnival Calamity", there's Penelope launching the time bombs out of her car into a buggy where the Bully Brothers are hiding, and the bombs exploding soon afterwards.
61-->'''Hooded Claw''': Blast! If it wasn't for a shortage of evil henchmen, I'd fire you.
62** Penelope unraveling the Hooded Claw's pants while escaping him at the carnival.
63** The following reaction when Penelope and the Anthill Mob see the Hooded Claw disguised as Juliet in the Tunnel of Love:
64--->'''Pockets''': That's Juliet? Yecch!
65--->'''Yak-Yak''': ''(giggling)'' I feel sorry for Romeo.
66** The Hooded Claw and the Bully Brothers being stuck riding runaway cars on a rollercoaster all night at the end.
67--->'''Bully Brothers''': Wheee! Wheee!
68--->'''Hooded Claw''': Shut up, you clowns. This isn't fun.
69* The Anthill Mob mistaking several dummies resembling Penelope for the real deal in "The Diabolical Department Store Danger".
70** Later on, there's Softy stopping Chuggaboom before the mob can save Penelope because [[SkewedPriorities he saw a teddy bear had fallen off a shelf and he didn't want to run over it]].
71* "North Pole Peril":
72** Dum-Dum building a brick bridge instead of a wall to stop a snowball from hitting Penelope.
73--->'''Dum-Dum''': I thought it was a funny-looking wall.
74** The Hooded Claw's encounter with two yeti.
75* "Tall Timber Treachery":
76** When the Bully Brothers try to crush Chuggaboom by cutting down two trees, the trees hit each other and the car safely passes under them. Then when the baffled Bully Brothers get under the trees, the trees give way and hit them.
77** This exchange:
78--->'''Dum-Dum''': Don't worry, Penelope; we'll... uh...
79--->'''Clyde''': "Save you", you dummy!
80--->'''Dum-Dum''': Yeah! Save you, you dummy!
81** After following a "Water Stop" sign leads to trouble for the Anthill Mob, Clyde tells Dum-Dum to ignore the road signs. Unfortunately, the sign he decides to ignore says "Bridge Out"...
82* "Bad Fortune in a Chinese Fortune Cookie":
83** The Anthill Mob's efforts to plug up a leak in the shower they tried to use to douse a dragon float's fire and save Penelope. Dum-Dum plugs up the hole with his finger, then the water comes out his right ear, so Zippy puts a cork in that, then a geyser erupts from the bathtub drain, sending the Anthill Mob upward.
84** While the Hooded Claw poses as "Charlie Chin", the Bully Brothers hit each other's heads while bowing.
85** The Anthill Mob working at a restaurant to pay for the damage caused by Chuggaboom crashing into it.
86*** Later, the restaurant's a bigger wreck, so Zippy offers to clean up the mess... and vacuums up the whole restaurant.
87** At one point, the Hooded Claw and Bully Brothers are pedaling a bike attached to a blimp, with an iron claw attached to the bike. When the Hooded Claw tells the Bully Brothers to lower the claw, they lower him by mistake. Then, after he corrects them, they mistakenly grab the Anthill Mob with the iron claw instead of Penelope.
88** Zippy placing Penelope back on the conveyor belt after saving her from the roller at the fortune cookie factory.
89** The Hooded Claw getting SquashedFlat by the roller.
90* This exchange in "Game of Peril":
91-->'''Dum-Dum''': I like baseball better than golf.
92-->'''Yak-Yak''': ''(giggling)'' Why, Dum-Dum?
93-->'''Dum-Dum''': 'Cuz runnin' those 18 bases wears me out.
94* When the Hooded Claw disguises himself as Clyde in "Big Top Trap" he engages the real Clyde in a mirror game. At one point, Clyde asks for a light for his cigar and the Hooded Claw gives him one. [[DelayedReaction It isn't until after Clyde walks away from the mirror that he realizes that who he saw wasn't his reflection.]]
