10	!!Trouble on Planet Wait Your Turn
11	* Michelle playing with the Penguin figurines and using the Midgel figurine as the female.
12	* Jason meeting the Penguins.
13	--> '''Zidgel:''' And that's... uh, Kevin.\
14	'''Kevin:''' Pleasure.\
15	'''Jason:''' What does he do?\
16	''[Kevin holds a vacuum cleaner too close to his face and gets sucked in]''\
17	'''Zidgel:''' ''[deadpan]'' Uh, mostly, he just does that.
18	* When the other three are arguing about who gets to go first once they reach the planet, Kevin asks if he can stay aboard. Zidgel retorts that he can go first as punishment for his attitude. When Kevin tries to go (still stuck in the vacuum), Zidgel stops him, telling him he'll scare the natives if he goes out like that. [[InstantlyProvenWrong The locals are sapient vacuums themselves.]] Impressive pre-mission research there, Captain.
19	* When the inhabitants told the penguins that they didn't call them about the cutting-in-line and in fact called them about the rising heat around the planet, the penguins do notice that it's getting hot like a sauna, or a barbecue... or someone [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs barbecuing in a sauna!]] And when Midgel turns on the satellite view, his monitor first shows two men that are, what else, barbecuing in a sauna.
20	* Speaking of the rising heat, it's gotten so hot on the planet that they had to cancel their recent ice-{{sculpt\|ures}}ing contest.
21	--> '''Ice-Sculpting Announcer:''' And this... would've been the winning entry!\
22	''[Announcer gets out from the camera view, now showing a contestant weeping over a bowl of melted ice.]''\
23	'''Ice-{{Sculptor\|s}}:''' It was a swan... It was... beautiful...
24	* The fact that Planet Wait-Your-Turn's president is named [[MeaningfulName President Noimthepresident]], the fact that he was the one who started the whole mess, and the fact that [[LaserGuidedKarma he ends up hurtling through space as a result of his actions]].
25
26	!!The Cheating Scales of Bullamanka
27	* Michelle tries to guess the names of each of the penguins...with mixed results.
28	* When the definition of "ombudsmen" appears on screen, Kevin [[BreakingTheFourthWall breaks the fourth wall]] and crosses out the "men" part in the word with a marker and replaces it with "penguins" to make it say, "ombudspenguins".
29	* Kevin wiping out the written "penguins" a couple of seconds later.
30	* Midgel using a pair of tennis shoes as landing gear. The landing turns out as well as expected.
31	** Made more hilarious by the fact that all the penguins think the landing went amazing (Kevin even says it was "like butter") while Michelle asks if the landing gear broke off as she staggers out of the ship.
32
33	!!The Amazing Carnival of Complaining
34	* Midgel's second attempt to land the ship with landing gear.
35	* During the "Uncle Blobb's Amazing Carnival" song, Zidgel gets ''really'' excited upon seeing one of the rides.
36	--> '''The crowd''': Uncle Blobb's amazing carnival-
37	--> '''Zidgel''': [[SuddenlyShouting LOOK, THE BOUNCE AND SPIN!]]
38	--> '''The crowd''': Hopefully this will be a great ride at the carnival-
39	--> '''Zidgel''': (shaking Midgel like a little kid while Midgel just looks completely disinterested) LET'S ALL GO CLIMB IN!!
40	* Zidgel complaining about the spinning teacup ride.
41	--> '''Zidgel:''' You call that a fun ride? If I want to get dizzy, all I have to do is a little long division while Midgel is driving!
42	* Zidgel saying that going to the carnival was a bad idea.
43	--> '''Zidgel:''' Let's go to the carnival, he says! That's about the worst idea you've had since landing gear!
44	** It's even funnier considering that he was the one who wanted to go in the first place.
45	* While investigating Uncle Blobb's plans, Jason and Fidgel climb over a wall, then look up to see Kevin has somehow gotten on top of the wall in the few seconds it took for the two of them to get down.
46	-->'''Jason:''' How'd ''he'' get up there?
47	-->'''Fidgel:''' [[{{Acrofatic}} For a big man, he's got a great vertical.]]
48	* After Zidgel voices his complaint to Bizmoff the Amazing Juggler, even after being turned into a seed of discontent, he keeps on complaining about the lack of fun he's add at the carnival. It keeps going throughout the rest of the scene, to top it off.
49	-->'''Bizmoff:''' Hi-yah, kid! Did you have fun at the carnival today?
50	-->'''Zidgel:''' No sir, I can't say that I have. In fact, I would have to say that my time here was un-fun! I came here to have fun and I don't recall a fun feeling anywhere at any point all day! And frankly, I don't care who I may offend with my opinions at this point!
51
52	!!Runaway Pride at Lightstation Kilowatt
53	* Grandmum making jelly donuts at the start...which are revealed to be filled with ''eel jelly''. Michelle wordlessly puts the donut she was about to eat back on the tray.
54	* When Kevin gets some glasses for Michelle and some doughnuts, he puts the doughnuts around Michelle's eyes by mistake.
55	* Zidgel plays around with the laser pointer and points it at his hair. It promptly catches on fire, he panics and runs around like crazy, and Kevin gets the fire extinguisher to put it out.
56	-->'''Zidgel:''' Thanks, I...needed that. ''(a small fire lights back up and Kevin sprays Zidgel with the extinguisher point blank; Zidgel just stares at him in exasperation with his hair thrown back from the spray)''
57	* "[[StealthPun All it needed was one big]] [[{{Jerkass}} jerk]]!"
58	* Zidgel's attempts at humor.
59	--> '''Zidgel:''' So, Kevin, how many penguins does it take to change a light bulb?\
60	'''Kevin:''' I don't know. How ma--\
61	'''Zidgel:''' ONE! As long as it's ME!
62	* "Ignore the steady green light signaling you onward! It, uh... doesn't count!"
63	* Kevin ComicallyMissingThePoint of the whole concept of a knock-knock joke.
64
65	!!The Doom Funnel Rescue
66	* Jason gets a letter from Trevor, who's having a blast at Space Camp.
67	-->'''Michelle:''' Personally, I never understood why a bunch of kids would wait in line just to get nauseous.\
68	'''Grandmum:''' Well, come along, ducks! We'll all read our mail over some [[CordonBleughChef delicious prune trifle!]]\
69	''(Michelle winces at the thought)''\
70	'''Jason:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Yeah, here you can get nauseous without the wait.]]
71	* Zidgel's reaction to seeing the ridiculously huge fuel tank:
72	--> "SWEET SPAWNIN' SALMON! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"
73	* Midgel explains his instruments using a lot of TechnoBabble. Kevin then shows BING "the button that goes 'Vroom'." HilarityEnsues.
74	* While fueling up at the gas station, Zidgel asks Kevin for his snack, only for Kevin to reveal they were out of "Chewy Chunky Glob of Fudge" so he got him an "[[ShoddyKnockoffProduct Icky Gooey Slab of Slop]]" instead.
75	--> '''Zidgel:''' (Dejectedly) It's not the same...
76	** A BrickJoke later when Professor Wordsworth refuses to leave... unless they happen to have any Chew Chunky Glob of Fudge on them.
77	--> '''Kevin:''' Sorry. How about an Icky Gooey Slab of Slop?\
78	'''Wordsworth:''' It's not the same.\
79	'''Zidgel:''' ("See!" Gesture)
80	* Zidgel using BING as a hairstylist. One of the styles that shows up is Grandmum's curly blue hair and ultimately he just sticks with his normal haircut.
81	* The ship is caught in a doom funnel, and they have to try and fight their way out.
82	-->'''Zidgel:''' Dr. Fidgel, deploy deflector shields!\
83	'''Fidgel:''' Aye-aye, Captain! ''(presses button; the shields pop up and are promptly sucked up by the doom funnel)''\
84	'''Zidgel:''' Put deflector shields on our shopping list! Activate cloaking device!\
85	'''Midgel:''' What cloaking device?\
86	'''Zidgel:''' Dr. Fidgel... add that to the list!\
87	'''Midgel:''' Stand back! I'm throwing everything we've got at it!\
88	''(the ship throws up a sign that says "Go away!", which also gets sucked up)''
89	* "And he [BING] came free with my burrito!"
90
91	!!Moon Menace on Planet Tell-a-Lie
92	* When Jason gets galeezeled aboard the ship, he gets stuck inside Kevin's collar with his feet sticking out. After a number of attempts to get Jason out, Jason's head sticks out, giving the illusion that Kevin now has Jason's head.
93	* Zidgel's attempt to solve the planet's problem.
94	-->'''Zidgel:''' Good people of Tell-a-Lie, I respectfully ask that you all be silent. Well, there you have it! Citizens, we have discovered your problem! You will be happy to know that you will all be safe and sound, as long as none of you speak again for the rest of your lives, ever. Goodbye, you're welcome, and please don't worry, I know you are all cheering for me in your hearts. Problem solved, I'm a genius. (''Moon lowers even more'')
95	* After Zidgel asks one dart to name something his species does a lot of.
96	-->'''Dart''': Well, we arm wrestle a lot.
97	-->'''Jason''': But you don't have any arms.
98	-->'''Dart''': (''looks at his...lack of arms'') I didn't say we were good at it.
99	* When Fidgel says the following "Captain, I'm prepared to postulate the definitive correlation between the rate of their verbal utterances and their planet's approximate lunar distance", Zidgel says what the audience is most likely thinking whenever they hear technobabble here or anywhere.
100	-->'''Zidgel:''' See? I'm not even sure some of those are words.
101	* Zidgel's contribution to making the moon rise and everyone's reaction to it.
102	-->'''Zidgel:''' I sleep with a blankie!

118	* After the vortex departs from Planet Gutt, the chancellor says "Another pretzel?" He, Zidgel, Fidgel, and Michelle start laughing, then Zidgel says this:
119	-->'''Zidgel:''' That, uh, that's actually not funny.
120	* Immediately afterwards, the Rockhopper crew watches a slideshow of Zidgel saving the day with his "valiant" efforts, such as playing a video game, covering his ears when the alarm went off, and holding a bottle of shampoo.
121	-->'''Zidgel:''' (''sighs'') Just...pass the popcorn.
122
123	!!Give and Let Give
124	* Fidgel detects water that's underground. Kevin decides to stick his head into the sand.
125	-->'''Midgel:''' What do you think you're doing?\
126	'''Kevin:''' Looking for water.
127	* After Zidgel tells everyone to stay together, Kevin sticks his head out of the sand and walks in the wrong direction, and then turns around and runs back to the rest of the group.
128	* This gem from Midgel.
129	-->'''Fidgel:''' They've got the captain trussed up like a Christmas package.\
130	'''Midgel:''' That's not good, I mean, unless it actually was Christmas.
131
132	!!Practical Hoax

141	-->'''Zidgel''': TakeMeToYourLeader...

143	* Zidgel claiming that they've all become "[[BlatantLies the picture of caring for each other]]"... all while he just stares at himself in the mirror and Midgel plays a video game instead of paying attention to what's ahead of him while piloting the ship.
