Funny / Adventures of the Gummi Bears

• From the very first episode:
  "Is it true that humans eat Gummi bears?!"
  • That entire scene is hilarious. The bears are gathered around an unconscious Cavin, arguing whether they should help him or leave him be, like a bunch of kids who have found an injured squirrel in their yard. When they see he has a Gummi medallion, they start passing it back and forth while it's still tied around his neck, not even noticing when the kid wakes up, since he just lies there, staring at the weird creatures surrounding him, until he bolts up, beaming with joy over finding the legendary Gummi bears. They all promptly run for their lives in terror.
  • When Cavin uses his Gummiberry Juice-powered strength to throw one ogre onto Igthorn, the Duke just looks mildly irritated and resigned to what happened.
    Duke Igthorn: ...Let's start from the beginning. How did you fall from the clear blue sky?
    • Toadwart eagerly celebrates the fact that he didn't get squashed, only to get squashed by another ogre that Cavin tossed.
• In "Gummi in a Gilded Cage", the maiden voyage of the Gummis' flying machine hits a snag when Gruffi's foot gets caught in a mooring line, dragging him along for the ride. At the end, the escape from the Carpies' lair has him in the same position, and Tummi remarks, "He must really like it back there."
• From "A-Hunting We Will Go":
  Calla: ...Then after they left, a traveler said there was a gigantic boar out in the woods.
  Grammi: Oh, don't be silly, dear. Gruffi is underground in the quick tunnels.
• In "Tummi's Last Stand," in order to better motivate his ogres to catch gummi bears, Igthorn offers several prizes to who catches the most, all in the manner of a game show, with Toadwart in drag!
• "Thornberry to the Rescue" starts with a Shout-Out to Goldilocks and the Three Bears;
  Gruffi: Somebody's been sitting in my chair!
  Grammi: Somebody's been eating my porridge!
  Cubbi: Somebody's been sleeping in my bed!
  Cavin: (Counts his fingers for a moment) That sounds familiar.
• When Duke Igthorn meets his brother, Sir Victor, in the woods, they have your typical brotherly argument.
  Duke Igthorn: After all these years, have you no greeting for me, dear brother?
  Sir Victor: Not that I care to repeat in mixed company.
  Duke Igthorn: Oh, cut the Mr. Pure Pose, Vic, you're an Igthorn.
  Sir Victor: Yes, and so I must forever make amends for my family's treachery.
  Duke Igthorn: Same as when you were a kid. Always going around protecting the oppressed and saving the downtrodden. What kind of hobby is that for a 6-year-old?
  Sir Victor: Unhand me, despicable despot!
  Duke Igthorn: Do-gooder!
  Sir Victor: Malcontent!
  Duke Igthorn: Momma's boy!
  Sir Victor: Better a momma's boy than Siggy Soggy Shorts.
  Duke Igthorn: (embarrassed) Shh-shh-shh-shh-shh!
  Toadwart: (snickers) Siggy Soggy...
  Duke Igthorn: (grabs Toadwart) Don't... ever... call me that.
  • Despite their differences, the two Igthorns do still strongly resemble each other, and not just by appearance.
  Duke Igthorn: But enough reminiscing. In honor of your visit, I've decided to tell the whole world that... We are brothers!
  Sir Victor: No! You wouldn't!
  Toadwart : Yes, he would.
  Duke Igthorn & Sir Victor: WILL YOU BUTT OUT?!
  Toadwart : Yep, they're brothers.
• Cubbi and Sunni imitating the adults after they figure out how the Changing Hat works in "A Gummi By Any Other Name." This is later topped by Igthorn's reaction after Zummi casts the spell that makes his voice sound like a chipmunk on helium.
• To lure a mermaid into a trap in "Water Way To Go," Igthorn tosses Toadie into the river.
  Igthorn: Pretend you're drowning!
  Toadie: Pretend?!
• In "Return to Ursalia" the Glen Gummis and Barbics have teamed up to fight Igthorn and his ogres. The problem is, the Barbics have never used Gummiberry Juice. Gritty's bouncing is so out of control that he only manages to hit ogres by chance.
  Sir Thornberry: Pretty nifty move!
  Gritty: There's only one problem- HOW DO I STOOOOP!?
• From the series finale, when Igthorn tries to unlock the Great Book with a hammer and chisel:
  Zummi: Wait! I wouldn't do that if I were you...
  Igthorn: Why not? (hits the chisel, and the books zaps him hard enough to blast him, screaming in pain, across the room)
  Zummi: That's why not.
