* Wukong being made guardian of the Jade Emperor’s royal peach garden. You can guess what happens when someone as impulsive and gluttonous as Wukong is left to guard the immortality-granting peaches. After he becomes triple immortal (he'd already gained Taoist immortality ''and'' crossed his name out of the ledger of the dead), he decides to crash the royal peach festival and makes off with gallons of booze which also happens to grant immortality, making him quadruple immortal. Wukong, now royally hammered, wanders around until he stumbles into the sage Lao Tzu’s palace and alchemical laboratory. And just sitting there are several gourds of golden immortality pills. For those at home keeping score, The Monkey King is now ''quintuple immortal''. Even better, the pills instantly sober him up, [[OhCrap and even HE realizes how much trouble all this mischief just got him in]].
* In chapter 17, Wukong introduces himself to the Black Wind Demon with the first of his extremely lengthy poems about himself or his weapon he says in the journey. The Black Wind Demon's reaction? [[BerserkButton "So you're the Protector of the Horses who wrecked Heaven, are you?"]]
* Pig's "second marriage" has even [[SecretTestOfCharacter the gods]] throwing out the SchmuckBait and reeling him in.
* In chapter 32, after getting information from the Duty God of the Day disguised as a woodcutter, Wukong goes back to the team fake crying as a part of his trick to make Bajie go to the mountain to fight the demons by himself. When Bajie sees Wukong crying back, he immediately proposes splitting the party.
* In chapter 45, Wukong and his fellow disciples are stealing offerings from a Taoist temple due to the Taoists in question being pretty petty demons. When the Taoists come back, they stealth themselves and decide to pretend to be Lao Zi and other taoist immortals. When the demon Taoists asked to be beseeched with the Elixir of Life, [[ToiletHumor Wukong instead gives them his piss.]]
* In chapter 48, Sanzang falls into the River of Heaven. Making a pun over Sanzang's lay surname Chen, which is homophonous with "Sink", Bajie dubs him "Sunk to the bottom".
* The one time that Zhu Bajie drinks from a river and complains of stomach pains afterwards. Then the all-female locals helpfully inform the group that [[MisterSeahorse the river water is what allows them to get pregnant in the absence of men]]...
* In chapter 55, Sanzang's been captured by a scorpion demoness who plans to force him to marry her. What happens when the demoness' servants come reporting that "The two ugly men who came here last night have smashed the front doors down"? She tells them to boil water for her to wash and comb her hair.
* In chapter 67, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie fight a giant python demon who swallows Sun Wukong. Who proceeds to "shape him" from inside like a bridge, then like a boat, then adds a "mast" (by stretching his staff in the middle of the serpent's back).
* In chapter 76, after Bajie's been captured by the demons of the week, Wukong pretends to be a {{Psychopomp}} spirit and cheats the secret stash of money he stored in his ear off.
* When dealing with Lady Earth Flow, Wukong casually suggests that he'll rescue Xuanzang by turning into a fly, sneaking into her belly, and tear her apart from the inside out. [[ActualPacifist Xuanzang]] is at first horrified by this, but changes his mind in a matter of sentences. At least one translation ''literally'' has him saying "Oh, well."
* In chapter 84, the local ruler of the Dharma-Destroying Kingdom doesn't like Buddhists so he enslaves anyone that shaves their head like one. Wukong puts them all to sleep with sleeping insects and uses clones of himself to shave everyone's heads, thereby making everyone in the palace bald.
* In chapter 85, Wukong sees an evil spirit with several junior demons making magic wind and mist. Instead of reporting this to the team, he lies and says there was a village cooking rice and steaming buns, to trick Bajie into going to the mountain and fighting the demons himself.
