[[folder:Season 1]]
* The show starts off hilariously with the first episode of the first season, when the girls try to convince Yui to join their club. In no time the club room changes into nothing less than a war zone, complete with emotional close-ups of all involved. That scene's punch line ([[spoiler:"You guys are really not that great"]]) is very funny as well.
** There was also that scene a dozen minutes prior to that when Ritsu asked if ThePromise Mio made was a lie. Her response? [[spoiler: "That entire flashback is a lie."]]
*** The dialogue in the dub makes it even better:
----> '''Ritsu:''' "Were those sweet words all just a lie?!"\\
'''Mio:''' "No. [[BreakingTheFourthWall The flashback is]]."

* Mugi "bargaining" with the music store clerk - who, by the way, recognizes her immediately as the daughter of the shop's owner - to get a discount on the guitar. ''Lower!''

* Episode 3. Mio lets Yui feel her fingers to show how they'll get stronger as she plays the guitar more. Yui gets... a bit too into it. '''PUNI PUNI!!!'''.

* [[{{Moe}} Moe Moe]] [[MemeticMutation Kyun~!]] That is all. (S1 04 14:55)

* After a long practice with Sawako-sensei, Yui ends up losing her voice. Thanks to Sawako, she can play and sing at the same time, but strained her voice in the process. Now Mio has to sing. "Do it for Husky Yui!"
** The part of episode 5 where the characters start acting like they're in a mystery manga.
*** And then they're interrupted by an utterly furious Mio. Keep in mind she was last seen cowering in fear after Ritsu pretends that the blisters on her hands broke open.
** This pays dividends in episode 6 where Mio does lead vocals for "Fuwa Fuwa Time" but Yui still provides backup vocals... with her hoarse voice.

* Mio's infamous PantyShot (which was replaced with a rice bowl in the anime).

* Sawako-sensei trying to punish Yui by making her wear an embarrassing Santa outfit, only for it to backfire when Yui proves to have no sense of shame.

* Several from Episode 9:
** Azusa’s guitar playing not only wows the members of the Light Music Club, but also intimidates Yui -- who, when Azusa asks to hear her play, [[ObfuscatingDisability feigns a bad back as an excuse not to]] (which no one buys). After her second attempt at using the excuse, she [[KnowWhenToFoldEm gives in]] and [[AintTooProudToBeg begs Azusa to teach her how to play.]]
** Azusa (frustrated at the group’s apparent lack of motivation) ordering for the removal of all tea sets, a thought that is too much to handle for Sawako-sensei.
--->'''Sawako-sensei:''' ''(grabbing onto Azusa)'' “No, please! [[AnythingButThat Anything but that!]]”
** Azusa’s first bite of cake, which she deems tasty. When Ritsu smugly asks her what she just said, Azusa [[VerbalBackspace immediately backtracks.]]
--->'''Azusa:''' I said ''wasty!'' A ''waste!''
*** And immediately after, Azusa being excited when Yui offers her another piece of cake, then her disappointment when she takes it back. Then excitement again when Yui holds it out, then disappointment…
** Mio tries on the cat ears headband while no one else is in the club room. As soon as she puts it on, though, Ritsu peeks through the door chuckling, startling Mio and prompting her to take it off right away.
--->'''Mio:''' ''(holding the headband in front of her face, embarrassed)'' [[BlatantLies A--a mustache!]]\\
'''Ritsu:''' That's lame, Mio.



* From Episode 10:
--> '''Yui:''' "What's that?"\\
'''Azusa:''' "It's a tuner. I use it for tuning my guitar."\\
'''Yui:''' "Oh... so that's a tuner. This is my first time seeing one."\\
'''Azusa:''' "Then how do you tune your guitar?"\\
'''Yui:''' "Just randomly." *strums the guitar, all strings are perfectly in tune*\\
'''Azusa:''' "'''PERFECT PITCH!?''' I can't decide if she's amazing or not..."
** Near the end of the episode, Ui fails to recognize [[ProneToSunburn a completely tanned Azusa]]. The latter's [[JawDrop reaction]] is priceless.

* OVA: Live House:
** When required to fill out a lighting-sheet for their performance, none of the members of Houkago Tea Time know anything about actually putting on a show, or what to write in the form. Yui's first thought is... to ask the scariest-looking group present.
---> '''Ritsu:''' "In a way, Yui is the toughest of us all..."

[[folder:Season 2]]

* Episode 2 when Yui discovers raw of ''screws'' in a hardware shop:
-->'''Yui:''' "Look at this! Check out all these screws!"\\
'''Azusa:''' "You're spazzing out, too?"\\
'''Yui:''' "These are ''ALL'' screws!"
** And then Yui gets her hands on an electric screwdriver and proceeds to "shoot" Mio and Azusa with it. Ritsu calls her out for her behavior and then proceeds to blind Mio with a hard hat's headlight. Yui then shows up in construction coveralls, suggesting that they use it for a show with them writing "Afternoon Tea-Time" on the back, which Azusa shoots down, saying it makes them sound more like a biker gang.
** The group getting tempted to split the money they got from selling Sawako's old guitar amongst themselves instead of putting it in the club's fund. What does Yui want to do with her share? Have Ui slap her with it! Complete with an ImagineSpot.
-->'''Ui:''' How this, Yui? Is this ok?\\
'''Yui:''' No, harder! ''(laughs)''
** The next day, Sawako asks for the receipt, which leads to Ritsu trying to eat it with everyone else cheering her on.

* Jakka jakka jan jan jakka jan! '''[[MemeticMutation JAKKA JAN!]]'''

* Episode 6 has Yui having to change her school clothes due to her getting drenched on the way there. She ends up wearing a ''maid costume'' to class, much to the amusement of the rest of the class. Sawako orders her to change into something more appropriate when Ritsu remarks that Sawako was the one who made the outfit, only for her to be on the receiving end of one hell of a DeathGlare, complete with a ScareChord. This not only shuts Ritsu up but makes her hold her arms up like she's being held at gunpoint.
** Later, when Azusa asks Yui to stop talking to [[CompanionCube her guitar]] like a real person, this exchange happens
--->'''Yui:''' Are you jealous, Azu-nyan?\\
'''Azusa:''' Huh?\\
'''Ritsu:''' I sense a love triangle here.\\
'''Azusa:''' Don't encourage her!\\
'''Mio:''' [[NotSoAboveItAll Yes, a love triangle! Some lyrics like that would make a great song!]]\\
'''Azusa:''' You too, Mio-senpai?!\\
'''Yui:''' Aw, you should have come out and just said so in the first place!\\
'''Azusa:''' '''''[[BigNo NOOOOO!!!]]'''''
** Near the end of the episode, another rainy day makes Yui and Mio leave their instruments in the club room. It is at this time Yui gives Mio's bass the nickname of "Elizabass", much to Mio's annoyance. When she comes back, she hugs her bass and even uses the nickname. Yui, Ritsu and Mugi are shown watching from behind the door, much to her embarrassment.

* Episode 8 has Yui and Ritsu be given a book of sample admission exams, which happens to contain some English, shocking the two. This leads to Ritsu declaring that since they're Japanese, they don't need English with Yui cheering her on and laughing haughtily before being reminded that they need to pass English in order to graduate.
** Made even funnier in the English dub as we're treated to Ritsu and Yui stating how they don't need English ''while speaking in English''.
** In a flashback from the same episode, Nodoka stops Yui from eating a crayon on the first day they met.

* Tiny little ''Azu-nyan'' [[DraggedByTheCollar dragging YUI crying and screaming by the collar]] off to study in Episode 9.

* From Episode 12:
** Yui initially believes that the rock festival Natsu Fest is a mountain before Azusa clarifies that it is ''in'' the mountains. Yui then thinks that she means '''''inside''''' the mountains, complete with an ImagineSpot of a subterranean prehistoric civilization.
--->'''Yui:''' We’re not going to get eaten alive up there, are we?\\
'''Mio:''' I really don’t know what you’re thinking, but whatever it is, it’s wrong.
** Sawako-sensei arriving at the bus station hungover from a show the previous night.

* Episode 13 -- Azusa's [[ProneToSunburn tan]], left over from Natsu Fest, once more results in some amusing interactions back home. To her chagrin, neither Ui (''again'') nor Sawako-sensei (who was ''with Azusa at said festival'') are initially able to recognize her, each having the exact same “who are you?” reaction[[note]]though in Sawako-sensei’s case, she was joking[[/note]]. [[RunningGag And then when she meets up with Jun…]]
-->'''Jun:''' ''(confused)'' Who are you?\\
'''Azusa:''' '''''I KNEW YOU WERE GONNA SAY THAT!'''''

* Episode 14 — In an attempt to get hit in the forehead, Mugi tries stealing the one strawberry atop Mio's slice of cake. The look on Mio's face is what really made that scene brilliant.

** Later in the same episode, Mugi ''finally'' gets her wish and has Ritsu club her over the head. [[BerserkButton What did it take]]? Telling Ritsu [[LesYay that she would make a great boyfriend]].

* From Episode 16: [[FreudianSlip "Aren't waitresses supposed to have cat ears?"]]
** And from the same episode, Azusa sounding like all four of her seniors on her way to the club room.

* Several moments in episode 18, as if the plot for that -- Mio and Ritsu trying to play against type -- wasn't enough.
** "She fainted..."
** Mio's FreakOut in the beginning, complete with her listing reasons she can't be in the play that get more outlandish with each one, is pretty funny - and then the camera angle changes, revealing that Yui has been holding her arms like a tree ''the entire time''.
** Mugi suggests to Mio that she should pretend Ritsu is the only one watching her. Mio looks out at the girls [[spoiler: and imagines that they all have Ritsu's face.]]
-->"That'd get noisy real fast..."
** [[ItMakesSenseInContext The string cheese pen.]]

* In Episode 21, the whole affair with Yui cutting her bangs. Without a mirror.

* Episode 24 - One of the club's classmates asks to have her picture taken with them on Graduation Day, first reminiscing about their performances. The moment is set up to be touching... only to be undercut by saying she thought their shows were ''funny''.
--->'''Mio:''' Not "awesome" or "really good"?\\

* Episode 25 is full of comedic moments:
** The club’s [[StylisticSuck cheesy first recruitment video]] -- complete with “sentient” uniforms and instruments (with the members visibly crouched behind the objects and moving them around) and a welcome from a costumed, visibly uncomfortable Mio. Azusa’s reaction sums it up.
--->'''Azusa:''' W--what in the world is this?
** "Welcome to the Light Music Club, meow!"
*** The fact that [[BrickJoke it was included in the final cut.]]
---->'''Sawako-sensei:''' I just couldn’t bring myself to leave that one out! ''*Kawaii pose*''
** The club discusses ideas for a new recruitment video:
*** Sawako-sensei’s idea for the recruitment video: a Hollywood-style movie trailer with dramatic cuts, an equally dramatic voiceover, and [[StuffBlowingUp explosions]] that wouldn’t be out of place in a Creator/MichaelBay film.
*** Mio’s idea is to depict the club from [[TeamPet Ton-Chan’s]] point of view, with some of the other members deliberating on how Ton-Chan should sound.
----> '''Ritsu:''' ''(impersonating Ton-Chan)'' I’m Ton-Chan the pig-nosed turtle! Word up, yo!
*** [[StudentCouncilPresident Nodoka]] [[NotSoAboveItAll saying the above line.]]
-----> '''Yui:''' I just heard Nodoka-chan say “Word up, yo!”
*** Ritsu’s idea is to highlight the supposed benefits of joining the Light Music Club on a talk show… including getting into her school of choice, winning the lottery, growing taller, and having silky smooth skin. Azusa remarks that it sounds like a bad infomercial.
*** Yui’s is to use the animal costumes in dances or comedic skits. The ImagineSpot of all of them in costume shows Yui and Mugi dancing around, with Ritsu and Azusa simply looking on in hesitation (Azusa ''flinches'' from the dancing) and Mio curled up off to the side.
*** Mugi’s incredibly suspenseful narratives.
** Yui “helping” Mio with math homework (for a filmed scene).
** The final recruitment video:
*** One student referring to Yui ''Hirasawa'' as [[AccidentalMisnaming “Hirayama” and “Hirakawa.”]]
*** Various other students and faculty mistakenly talking about the Light ''Truck'' Club and a Light ''Breakfast Sub''.
*** Ritsu '''''[[BrickJoke reusing]]''''' [[BrickJoke the testimonial from her earlier idea.]]

[[folder:Unsorted]]

* Sawako-sensei briefly fantasizes about a masked Ritsu playing epic death metal beats at the foot of the TOWER OF BABEL.


* Another one: Mio finally giving in to Sawa-chan's hobby.

* Omochi Race. That is all.
** ''"WAA WA WA"''
* Azusa imagining herself as club president.
* The whole exchange between Yui and college K-On member Akira.
* On the first day of their senior year, Ui decides to change her hairstyle... to look exactly like Yui. She then plays up the joke by saying that she really is Yui ("I wanted to see Azu-nyan and came here pretending to be Ui!")... and Azusa starts ''believing'' her.
** Ui regrets doing that when Sawako starts talking to her chest, which Sawako has already noticed is bigger than her older sister's from the first time Ui did that.
---> '''Sawako:''' *staring at Ui's chest* "Oh, hello Ui."\\
'''Ui:''' "Hello to my chest? Please don't talk to my chest..."
* The fact that Azusa [[HollywoodToneDeaf can't sing]].
* The new high school light music club member Okuda somehow makes Yui seem like a genius.
** It's discovered that she's been inadvertently giving people parts that require three hands or six fingers to play right. This doesn't stop Ui from playing it perfectly. (No, she does not have six fingers.)
%%* Chapter 61. Just make sure that you are in a soundproof room as to not disturb anyone.
%%** Some people read the series from the physical volumes, which don't give numbers to their chapters.
* One chapter of the high school spinoff starts with Azusa announcing that she's going to run a tight ship, practice hard, and really impress Yui with how great the new club's band is going to be (now that they have enough members). She then walks into the room to find Sumire in a maid outfit serving tea to Sawako.
-->'''NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!'''
* Azusa wants to [[AffectionateGestureToTheHead rub Sumire's head]], remembering Mio doing it to her. Unfortunately, not enough words -- or too many -- slip out, and it backfires...
-->'''Azusa:''' No, not me!
