Funny / Amphibia Season 3

Guess who's coming to meet the parents!

In General

• The new Anime-styled outro, combining with heartwarming. Now imagine how you would react if THAT played immediately after a cliffhanger or a Downer Ending...^note Averted with "Olivia & Yunan", "The Core & The King", and the last three episodes thankfully.
• The new season opening has a few.
  • Sprig re-enacts him leaping out of his room with a telescope by leaning out of the Boonchuys' fridge with an ice cream cone and trying to use it like a spyglass...only to overbalance and fall on the ground, with the ice cream landing on his face, to the amusement of Anne's mother.
  • Polly shows off her new legs by jumping around the room, landing on top of Domino....which obviously upsets the kitty, who then proceeds to chase Polly away.
  • Anne and Sprig re-create their toadstool-hopping scene with beach umbrellas, much to the surprise of several beach-goers.
  • The Plantars are shown to be hiding in a museum from a security guard in human disguises, with Polly having to put her new legs to use in supporting Sprig as the bottom of a frog totem pole to pass as a medium-sized human in a trench coat — because Polly is too young to pass as the 'head'.
  • Most importantly, Anne is now wearing two shoes!!

The New Normal

• Once she and the Plantars scramble off the motorway and catch their breath, Anne becomes awestruck alongside the Plantars at the sight of the human city around them, scarcely daring to believe it's real. She decides there's only one sure-fire way to be certain that she's not dreaming or under an illusion — checking her phone for a wifi signal. Her reaction to seeing she has full bars is like a worshipper who just saw the face of God.
  Anne: I'M HOOOOOOMMMEEEE!!!
• Now they're no longer under intense, life-threatening pressure, Polly is taking the time to enjoy her new appendages, jumping around all over the place whilst exclaiming "Legs!" every time she does so. She even ends up kicking Mr. Boonchuy several times throughout the episode simply because she's too enamoured with the leg-based activities she can now pull off, like jump-kicks.
• Sprig is overwhelmed by the sights of the human world, being fascinated by mailboxes, pushing walkway buttons, and trying to jump down a sewer drain after an errant fly, only to quickly regret his decision from the smell.
  Sprig: Help! This dungeon smells awful!
• Anne, fearful that her parents will be overwhelmed by seeing talking frog people, has the Plantars hide inside her family's garbage bins whilst she talks to her family and explains everything to them, only to realize that there's a lot to process from the revelations they all recently had during "True Colors":
  Anne: Oh, and I'm not gonna tell them I plan to go back and stop Andrias...or that Andrias betrayed us...or that Marcy did, or that Sasha did, and not a word about my weird glowing blue powers. (takes deep breath) Wow. There's a lot going on.
  Sprig: Blue powers?!
  Polly: (dismissively) It was a thing.
• When Polly talks to Frobo's severed head about how it'll be easy for the Plantars to fix him with the abundant advanced technology of Anne's world, Polly points out a discarded Furby in the trash with them...which then proceeds to short-circuit, with its eye bursting out and catching fire. Even funnier, since it's the Boonchuys' trash they're hiding in, it must be one of Anne's old toys.
• Just as Anne's about to start telling her parents all about Amphibia and easing them into meeting the Plantars, a nearby bird flies by cawing, which Hop Pop mistakes as the signal to come out and emerges right in front of them. Then Sprig appears and further freaks Anne's family out.
  Sprig: Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Anne's Parents! The name's Sprig Plantar! Anne's best friend and walking, talking frog! (Sprig spots a nearby fly, snags it with his tongue and does jazz hands right in front of the Boonchuys)
  (Anne facepalms, Mrs. Boonchuy looks like she's about to scream, Domino looks to be about a second from bolting, and Mr. Boonchuy faints dead away on the ground)
  • This happens after nearly an in-universe minute of Anne telling them to wait for the signal. How Hop Pop expected Anne to cram nearly 2 seasons' worth of story into that short a timeframe is a question for the ages.
  • Then after Hop Pop reveals himself, Polly exposes herself to, justifiably, tell him off for thinking that that was the signal.
• After Anne finishes explaining the events of the past two seasons (with some hefty lies of omission after "The Third Temple"), her parents still have trouble taking everything in.
  Mr. Boonchuy: Hold on, back up. You're telling us there's a whole world of talking frogs called "Amphibiland"?
  Sprig: It's actually called "Amphibia".
  Mrs. Boonchuy: You made Larb with maggots? Was it good?
  Mr. Boonchuy: This is a lot to take in. I wish we could have been eased into it.
  (Anne glares at Hop Pop, who chuckles sheepishly)
• Though the context is serious, there's something chuckle-worthy about the Plantars' concerned reactions when Anne points out the likely result of the authorities being made aware of the existence of otherworldly frogs.
  Anne: Like the police!? The government!!? (protectively shields Sprig and Hop Pop from view) As soon as they see talking frogs, they'll be probed and dissected in a secret lab and used for all kinds of weird experiments!
  Sprig: What's that now?
  Hop Pop: (nervously) Can you elaborate on the probing part?
• "Quarantine Fun": The song and montage that plays after Anne's parents allow the Plantars to stay but are put under lockdown. Highlights include:
  • Anne being so happy to see her closet of clothes again that she ends up putting on anything she can before falling over.
  • Sprig is reading a Monday Cat book and sees Mr. Boonchuy heating up some lasagna in the microwave. Sprig then proceeds to put the book in the microwave out of curiosity. He later puts a potato, Anne's shoe, and her phone in the microwave for fun. The last one Anne stops before it's too late.
  • Mr. Boonchuy finds that the Plantars have turned the bathroom into a makeshift indoor pond, with Sprig and Hop Pop overflowing the bathtub and Polly swimming in the toilet.
  • Polly decides to have some indoor fun by riding on Domino's back like a horse.
  • Anne looks up "How to defeat evil Newt King" on Doogle. The lyrics even warn her to 'purge the history'.
  • Anne's mother is rather hovery, even brushing Anne's hair while she's asleep.
  • Also pretty funny on a meta level, given all the jokes about how Anne would react to coming back home during a pandemic and have to be quarantined. Then of course, there is the fact that everyone around the world had to experience their own quarantines and lockdowns for months, but Anne only lasted a day.
• Anne's dad refers to her as "the literal poster child for hating responsibility," then shows an actual picture that Anne drew at the age of six where she wrote "I hate responsibility."
  • This is followed by Hop Pop attempting to convince the Boonchuys that Anne's responsible. Against all odds, it somehow works.
    Hop Pop: Look, I'm a parent too. And I know what Anne used to be like. So trust me, I get it.
    Anne: Not helping!
    Hop Pop: But... she grew into a town protector! A hero! Voted frog of the year by frogs that used to hate her! Were there bumps in the road? Sure. Did she burn the town down once? ...Yeah. Did she almost get us eaten by a large creature numerous times? Also yes. Did she... uuhhh...what was I saying?
    Anne's Dad: The old one's got a point.
• Andrias sends a Cloak-Bot to kill Anne... and to pick up the next volume in the Cynthia Coven book series Marcy got him hooked on. He also wants it to get him some potato chips, but the order proves too complicated for the Cloak-Bot, so Andrias scraps the order about the chips — he still wants the book, though.
• Polly insists on being the bottom of the Totem Pole Trench so she can use her new legs more. As you can imagine, Sprig has some issues balancing.
• Polly wants a quarter to buy a lotto ticket with. Anne is not having it.
• Hop Pop at first isn't impressed by human vegetables, then spots the durians. Anyone familiar with them can tell what's coming next. The others in the store understand perfectly when Anne explains it's his first one.
• The clerk at the noodle place in the store yelling at Anne when she picks up the bowls with her hands and head instead of using a tray. And when the fight with the Cloak-Bot demolishes all the tables, he just assumes that the noodles were so good they went crazy for them.
• Anne lying to her parents and telling them that nothing is amiss because she promised not to tell them about Andrias' plans. They instantly fall for it.
• Anne playing loud music over the radio to avoid drawing attention from everyone, especially her parents, when fighting the Cloak-Bot. The music even matches the fight!
• When running from the Cloak-Bot, Anne decides to hide in a freezer, forgetting that the Plantars are cold-blooded.
• How do you wake up Anne after collapsing and using her power? By using a smelly durian◊. Well, that's one way to wake her up.
  Anne: [as she wakes up to the smell] AAAAH! NO! GET IT AWAY! Hop Pop?
• When Sprig pulls a Tempting Fate about the possibility of the Cloak-Bot returning, Anne lampshades that he's got to stop saying stuff like that.

Hop 'Til You Drop

• The Plantars have absolutely zero concept of safe or acceptable Earth behavior at all, forcing Anne to repeatedly intervene^note Sprig keeps touching everything, Polly keeps getting into fights, and Hop Pop keeps falling for scams. Anne literally can't walk to the mailbox with them without disaster.
  Hop Pop: Free money? And all I have to do is give you my bank account numbers?
• Later, Anne vents to her parents on how exhausting it is keeping her frog family safe for only an hour.
  Anne: Sprig almost got turned into woodchips!
  Anne's Mom: ...Wait, Sprig is made of wood?
  • Anne’s father suggests to let them learn slowly and steadily, and tries to prove it by cracking an egg on a frypan, only for said egg to break with its shell. His “Dang it!” sells it.
• Anne's face◊ when she hits her Rage Breaking Point.
• The Plantars repeatedly underestimate the dangers of the human world, forcing Anne to chase after them like a parent with a toddler.
  Anne: You'll be dead in two days!
  Polly: Is that a threat?!
• The Plantars don't believe they need Anne's lessons on surviving in her world at first, stating Earth is nothing compared to the dangers of Amphibia. They immediately end up tripping and tumbling down an escalator. Hop Pop's response when Anne arrives down? "Proceed."
• When Anne explains to Hop Pop he needs to stop falling for scams because in her world, everything has a price.
  Hop Pop: (mockingly) Then why do they call it "free", Anne? Mmmm? Because they think I'm gullible and easily scammed?
  Anne: Yep.
  Hop Pop: Oh. Well, that's actually pretty clever.
• Polly immediately rejects a Mickey Mouse nose for her Build-a-Bear knockoff.
  • On that note, Polly’s efforts to build a plushie being delayed by other babies grabbing and gumming the body parts she chose, with one outright and deliberately destroying the finished product.
  • One moment worth noting is when Polly is about to make the plushie, one of the babies grabs one of the arms and Polly tries to tell his mother that he's ruining her work.
    Polly: Hey lady, your chubby spawn is ruining my work.
    Lady: Did you just call my kid a spawn?!
  • When Polly goes ballistic and starts a fight, the other babies start ganging up on her. One even breaks their bottle to use as a weapon.
• The punny names on the art installations. A tiger chair named "I chair-ish you", A giant ring with musical notes called "Ringtone", and one is just a fly stuck on a rent notice called "Life".
• Hop Pop ends up turning green after coin diving into a "cursed" fountain. And in the end, Sprig mentions that they should probably get Hop Pop to a shower to get rid of the green side-effect.
  Hop Pop: Oh yes please. My skin is burning.

Turning Point

• When Andrias catches Olivia and Yunan trying to sneak out, the two have a look on their faces more appropriate to two teenagers caught up sneaking out from home than people trying to get away from a ruthless tyrant.
• Sasha and Grime manage to escape from Andrias by jumping out the window. Of a flying castle. As Sasha is yelling about how Grime clearly doesn't have a plan for surviving the fall, Joe Sparrow flies up and saves them.
  Grime: [chipper] Well, that was lucky.
  • And after saving them, Grime calls Joe Sparrow "George Sparrow". The latter's deadpan reaction sells it.
• The citizens of Wartwood are all shocked speechless when Grime fills them in about Andrias' betrayal... except for one.
  Mrs. Croaker: Well, I never voted for him!
• The first thing Grimes does upon arriving in Wartwood? Call dibs on Hop-Pop's bed. He then breaks it by simply landing on it, before taking a magazine from the nightstand and folding out the middle page...
  Grime: Now that is a big potato!
• What does Sasha say upon waking up? That of course that's her natural hair color.
• In the morning, various citizens of Wartwood show up, each performing Oblivious Guilt Slinging on Sasha, whose reaction gets worse each time, quickly crossing the scene from sad to hilarious, up to the point she runs away screaming when Maddie shows up with free bread.
  Maddie: Don't want the extra carbs a, I get it.
• When a giant golden robot toad shows up, Wally exclaims "Whoa, Nelly!"...causing a never-before-seen frog named Nelly to jump up, saying she's present. Upon which Mrs. Croaker tells her to shut up.
• Aside from being an awesome moment as well, the citizens of Wartwood going berserk on the Robo-Toads is also hilarious thanks to Sasha and Grime's watching it in a stunned shock, the latter realizing these peaceful villagers are deadlier than trained soldiers. The violin music that plays with the scene makes it even better.
• After defeating the Golden Boss, Loggle rips out its eye even though it's already been beaten.
  Mrs. Croaker: I think you're enjoying this too much.

Thai Feud

• While sneaking into Ned's food truck and trying to "destroy his livelihood", Sprig puts multiple toothpicks in his mouth to look cool. The results? He immediately coughs and spits them out since they were pricking the inside of his mouth.
• The entire runaway food truck scene.
  • When Anne and Sprig are trapped in the runaway food truck, Anne tries to drive the van herself, since she's driven Bessie before and played 900 hours of Super Wario Kart.
  • When Anne tries to stop it, she realizes that the brakes aren't working. Then she looks up at a reminder (which Ned wrote to himself) saying that Ned needs to fix the brakes.
    Anne: NEDDDDDD!!!
  • What's Sprig's method of stopping the food truck? Trying to stop it as if the truck was a horse (or Bessie). It's made even funnier in that he's pulling on the radio. Even Anne points out that that method only works on snails.
  • Anne and Sprig panic when the truck is about to run into some debris that resembles a small ramp. And then they just ram right through it since the truck is too heavy and the ramp is too weak to support its weight and give it air time.
  • And when the truck hits a turtle, the truck is sent flying at least two stories high.
  • One guy borrows a TV from his neighbour, who claims the TV to be like a son to him. And then the TV gets hit by the airborne food truck.
    Neighbour 1: Thanks for letting me borrow your TV!
    Neighbour 2: Just be careful. This thing is like a son to me...
    [TV gets smashed by airborne food truck]
    Neighbour 2: JUNIOR!!!!
• After being made a member of the family, Sprig jumps into Mrs. Boonchuy's arms and starts hugging her and crying with joy. Mrs. Boonchuy states she's immediately regretting this decision.

Adventures In Catsitting

• The episode starts with Domino waking up and immediately acting rambunctious (running around, eating a fly and then spitting it out, tumbling down the stairs, knocking items off furniture, and playing with a ball of yarn). Because, you know, she's a cat.
• The Spit Take between Hop Pop and Polly when Sprig tells them that they’ve been staying on Earth for a whole week now.
• Cousin Stanley was a (probably phony) relative of the Plantars that came and started mooching off of them. Eventually, they got so fed up that they threw him out a second-story window into the swamp.
• The fact that Polly somehow knows what a burner phone is.
• The Plantars learn the hard way that most cats do not like having their bellies touched after Polly accidentally lands on Domino's belly.
  Sprig: MY EYE!
  Hop Pop: HOLY FROG! IT'S GOT CLAWS!!
  Polly: BLOOD!! THERE'S BLOOD EVERYWHERE!!!
  (smash cut to the scratched up Plantars at the bus stop)
  Hop Pop: Well, we survived that.
  Sprig: (hoarsely) BARELY.
• The Plantars are horrified when they come across a heron... except that it's not one of the giant, toothed monsters from their world, but an ordinary 4-foot-tall heron. They laugh at it until it clamps its bill on Sprig's arm.
• Hop Pop attempts to give Domino a kitty treat, only to be dragged into her carrier a la the opening of Jurassic Park.
• Once they get to the vet, the Plantars have a scary experience with another predator domesticated by humans: dogs.
  • And then Sprig sees a boy holding a non-anthropomorphic frog, which Sprig believes to be a member of his brethren. Later, it's been revealed that Sprig swiped the frog from the kid, and he releases it outside of the shawarma shop.
• The Plantars asking the vet about frog biology, while not realizing that Earth frogs are different than them.
  Hop Pop: What would you say to an older frog who's complaining about back pain these days?
  Vet: The frog complained?
  Hop Pop: Well, honestly he holds it in and soldiers on. He's noble like that.
  (Sprig covers Hop Pop's mouth)
  Sprig: Shush, Hop Pop! What we really want to know is... what's the highest a frog's ever jumped? And does it seem beatable?
  Vet: Frogs are more known for the length of their jumps than the height.
  Sprig: (leaps and grabs the vet's coat) GIVE ME NUMBERS, MAN!
  Polly: Question. Can a frog grow multiple limbs? Could there be, hypothetically, an uber-frog?
  Hop Pop: Do you have any medication that can make a frog look 40 years younger?
  Vet: I... Do you have a 40-year-old frog?
• When the Plantars are looking for Domino, Polly finds an opossum and suggests to Hop Pop to use it as Domino's replacement.
  Polly: Think Anne will know the difference?
  • And what does Polly say when Hop Pop tells her to put it back? His face is frozen in a horrible smile.
• When the shawarma chef orders his customers to leave the building due to his fire alarm, one woman states that she hasn't gotten her order yet.
  Shawarma chef: This shawarma's good, but is it worth your life, Karen?!
  Emily: My name's Emily, but point taken.
• After being gone for five months, Anne is given an immediate trip to the dentist. At the end of the episode, she is completely loopy after being given a heavy dose of painkillers. Apparently, she had eight cavities and a whole lot of cricket legs stuck between her teeth.
  • Also, Brenda Song's delivery as the high-as-a-kite Anne, including her brief hilarious monologue about Domino, at the end of the episode is priceless. Even funnier, she says it while squeezing Hop Pop's cheeks, disturbing him.
    Anne: [in a dreamy and drunk voice] Listen. Domino is not just a cat. She's the alpha and omega. An inter-dimensional being beyond all time and space.
    Hop Pop: Wh-what's that now?
    Sprig: Do me next! Do me next!
    Mr. Boonchuy: Hey, do you guys actually want to keep her occupied for a bit? Because that'd be super helpful. Thanks!
    [Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy take off running.]
    Hop Pop: Okay. Can you let go of my face?
    Anne: Never. We are one.

Fight at the Museum

• Anne spends all night looking up information about portals, and at one point reads a Wikipedia article about Inuyasha, of all things.
• When Anne and the Plantars go into the space exhibit and see a model of the Earth:
  Hop Pop: Wait. Your people think the world is round?
  • At the end, after Dr. Jan assures Anne that "the world will still be spinning tomorrow", Hop Pop says he is still not convinced by "this spinning globe theory".
• When Sprig asks Dr. Jan about finding a portal to Amphibia, Anne shuts him up and tells her that she hates history and museums. Because Anne says that to the face of a museum curator, the latter finds it a bit insulting.
• How did Anne get the idea to rob the museum?
  Hop Pop: If you're not gonna ask Dr. Jan for help, what are you gonna do? Rob the museum?
  later
  Hop Pop: [angry] I still can't believe we're robbing the museum.
• Hop Pop the Fabulous Cat. 'Nuff said.
• Hop Pop uses a guillotine to chop off the Cloak-Bot’s arm.
  Hop Pop: Eat the Rich!

Temple Frogs

• After Anne chases off the gossip group from her school, who were taking pictures of her, Mr. Boonchuy says that the gossip kids should use Anne's baby photos in the school newspaper. Needless to say, Anne is not having it.
• When Polly displays her knowledge of the Thai language to a class of students learning Thai, one of the students coughs the word "show-off".
• Anne starts to get impatient to get to the museum and thinks the hour's got to almost be over, so she checks the time and, to her horror, finds out it's only been 10 minutes.
• The Plantars are exposed to the entire Thai community, resulting in a brief shot of what they actually look like without the show's appealing animation style, falling squarely into the Uncanny Valley with an art style more like Fantastic Planet.
• How do Anne, the Plantars, and Dr. Jan react to the secret message on the pot? They all agree that they have no idea what it means, with Polly blowing a raspberry.

Fixing Frobo

• Anne introducing to Sprig and Hop Pop the internet and its wonders. Specifically, cat videos.
• Everyone being creeped out by Anne's old bear toy. Ultimately, Polly "kills" it by ripping out its battery to use it for Frobo.
  • When Anne demonstrates the toy, it makes an uncomfortable pause in the middle of the phrase "I eat ice cream" that makes it sound like "I eat eyes". Anne thinks that Loggle would like it.
• Mr. Boonchuy is revealed to be a hardcore gamer, but all his gaming attempts get disturbed by Polly's repair work blasting a limited-edition controller to smithereens and later cutting the power just as he's about to finish a ten-hour boss fight.
• The IT Girls' toy robot Pandatron is adorable... until it opens its mouth and emits a dial-up modem noise.
• When Anne is watching what is apparently Star Wars with Hop Pop and Sprig, indicated by a take on the infamous 'I hate sand' line, Anne expresses disbelief that they like the prequels more. Sprig points out that they're watching the films in chronological order, rather than production, and Hop Pop points out they can't have nostalgia for something they've not yet seen.
• At the end, Hop Pop, Sprig, and Anne are dancing to a cat video while Mr. Boonchuy freaks out about the giant hole in the backyard made by Frobo's free-falling body.

Anne-sterminator

• The Cloak-Bot got Andrias his book... but it got him book three, instead of book two like he wanted. Book two was out of stock, according to the Cloak-Bot.
• After giving the Cloak-Bot an ultimatum, Andrias signs off with a chipper "Andrias out!" and makes a silly face reminiscent of the ones Marcy used to pull.
• Anne is rather disturbed by her mom's "workout room". It doesn't help that there's dummies of her with diplomas for things like law school or being a doctor, causing Anne to complain about how she's apparently not living up to expectations.
  Mrs. Boonchuy: A mom can dream, can't she?!
• When a pair of cops see the Boonchuys being chased by the Cloak-Bot, they just assume that they’re all just filming the latest installment of an In-Universe monster movie franchise.
• While driving away from the Cloak-Bot, Anne tries to explain to her parents that Andrias sent the Cloak-Bot since he has it out for her and the Plantars. And then Sprig says that Anne decked him in the face.
• This exchange during the Car Chase:
  Polly: [referring to the Boonchuys' van] Can't this robo-snail go any faster?!
  Mr. Boonchuy: I'm sorry. I'm not used to driving for my life from a crazy robot!
  Hop Pop: I know just how you feel, Mr. B. Why, the first time that happened to us—
  Mr. Boonchuy: This isn't the first time?!
• At one point in the Car Chase, Anne tries to fend off the assassin robot with a tennis racket, and somehow ends up engaging in a tennis match with the robot when it deflects the ball she launched back at her repeatedly.
  Mr. Boonchuy: Ooof! Your backhand is looking pretty rusty.
  Anne: Daaad!
• At another point during the Car Chase, Mr and Mrs Boonchuy end up having a pretty hilarious debate over which freeway they should pick even while the assassin robot is still hot on their tail.
  Mr. Boonchuy: There's a split coming, which freeway should I take?
  Mrs. Boonchuy: I don't know, the 405?
  Mr. Boonchuy: At this hour?! It'll be jammed!
  Anne: Guys...?
  Mrs. Boonchuy: Hang on— I'll look at traffic at my app!
  Mr. Boonchuy: Make sure you don't use Map Search! That thing is NO good!
  • Mrs. Boonchuy, in true parent fashion, has to put on reading glasses to use her smartphone.
• While the Plantars are amazed by Mrs. Boonchuy's furious attack on the assassin, her husband's lack of reaction really shows how he's used to her inner fury.
  Hop Pop: Were you surprised by that display of ferocity, Mr. Boonchuy?
  Mr. Boonchuy: ...No.
• Mr. Boonchuy moping that the driver always gets left out of group hugs and asking that the family imagine him with them.

Mr. X

• Mr. X himself is equal parts threatening and eccentric. He flirts with his assistant Jenners (or "Jenny" as he calls them), works out of an ice-cream van, and rolls around on heely wingtips.
• When Anne's parents offer to help her if more robots are sent by Andrias, Mr. Boonchuy brings out an old pull-up bar to prepare for action. Needless to say when he tries it, he ends up breaking it and falling on his back.
  Mr. Boonchuy: Ow! My back! (groans)
  Mrs. Boonchuy: Honey! Be careful!
• Mrs. Booonchuy calls Anne, and it shows her contact photo is that 2-year-old picture where she's covered in spaghetti.
• Hop Pop's criticism of the movie-going experience: "Twenty minutes of trailers?! And you call yourselves civilized!"
• After the excitement from the action in the previous episode, Mrs. Boonchuy insists that she and her husband can help Anne and the Plantars escape the FBI because "We are adults, and we know what we're doing." Then Mr. Boonchuy struggles to put their cell phone in speaker mode and accidentally calls Anne's grandmother.
  • Anne's grandmother has about five lines of screen time, and spends most of them telling Anne how skinny she looks and asking if she's eating enough in rapid-fire Thai.
• The scene involving Anne and the Plantars running into a closet.
  Anne: Oh, no! It's a dead end!
  (cut to a poster that actually reads "Dead End")
  Hop Pop: Ah. Classic.
• Anne's parents manage to not only help Anne and the Plantars escape, but make Mr. X look like a fool by swapping the Plantars with regular Earth frogs from a pet store.
  FBI Trooper: I've heard of little green men, but this is ridiculous!
• In a flashback, Anne's mother shows how she delayed the feds: she stopped her car in front of their caravan and did a magic trick, pulling Domino out of a hat. The feds seem genuinely impressed.
• After Mr and Ms Boonchuy help Anne and the Plantars escape the FBI and they explained how, Anne gets surprised.
  Anne: You guys seriously did all that?! I can't believe it, I guess I, I, (Creepy close up with a demonic voice) MISJUDGED YOU!!
• How did the Boonchuys easily track down Anne and the Plantars in the first place? They put a tracker on Hop Pop while he slept. Which Polly rips off, much to his agony.
  • Even funnier, it's implied that Hop Pop had noticed the (enormous) tracker a long time ago, but apparently didn't ask what it was for, or try to remove it.
  • After learning about the tracker, Anne does an Eye Pop with a Big "WHAT?!".

Sprig's Birthday

• One of the books Anne reads is Dante's The Divine Comedy, which she gives a B plus for story, but an F minus for not being a way of getting back to Amphibia.
• Sprig's "Earth birthday montage" has some fun moments, like Sprig charming his way onto a roller coaster on Santa Monica Pier only to nearly fall off, or getting some flan with sparklers at a Mexican restaurant, eating the sparklers along with the dessert, and belching out flames and causing a big fire.
  • When Anne and Sprig try to convince the roller coaster employee to let Sprig on by using puppy dog eyes, the man maintains his stone-faced expression, but is now blushing, and lets them on.
  • After Sprig belches fire, the mariachi band throws away their traditional instruments for electric guitars to jam out.
• Mr. Boonchuy either has a soft head or the mud crown was hardened, because when Sprig throws it out the window and it lands on his head, it knocks him out cold.
• Anne and Sprig's balloon journey is full of funny moments.
  • The Monster Clown balloon itself is particularly frightening. Apparently, it was recycled from a promotion for a parody of It.
  • Even though it wasn't a good idea for Anne and Sprig to actually fly the balloon on a very windy day, but the smug face that Anne makes is actually pretty funny.
  • How does the clown balloonist react to seeing it flying out of control? He doesn't worry about two kids being stuck in it, but only that he's going to get fired for it.
  • A billboard that the siblings pass by with their balloon features a sleazy lawyer grinning with the headline "Injured? Would you like to be?". The backside has the same lawyer with his cocky grin and the headline reading "I paid for this side too. Please call me."
  • The balloon flies by a therapist's office, where a guy has just conquered his fear of direct eye contact. The poor guy gets a second to stare into the balloon's eyes before running in terror, complete with Fish Eyes.
  • The neighbors who shared a flatscreen TV in "Thai Feud" are back. This time, the pink-haired guy (named Tyler in this episode) is proposing to the black guy with an elaborate writing-in-the-air proposal. Except that Anne and Sprig's giant clown balloon flies in front of the word "Marry", causing the black guy to think his lover is asking him to "clownface" him.
  • A woman contemplates quitting her day job to become a stand-up comedian and asks God for a sign. As she sees the balloon pass by, she immediately stands up, puts on a colorful bowtie, pulls a mike out of nowhere, and makes the quip, "'Eeeey! Have you guys heard the one about the lady who probably just made a really bad decision?"
• The episode ends with Anne and Sprig walking back home, while the former says she is glad there are no loose ends. Cue Mr. Boonchuy still waiting for them inside the van despite it being night.

Spider-Sprig

• Polly has picked up on Internet dialogue and has some negative criticisms about Sprig's hero dream. Not that it bothers him.
  Polly: You're never gonna solve systematic societal problems with a sock on your head!
  Sprig: (in the distance) Watch meeeeee!!!
• The second Anne sees what Sprig's up to, she does a Spit Take that nails Polly on the back of her head, followed by a shot of the Boonchuy residence as Anne screams Sprig's name, complete with the camera shaking.
• One of the Frog-Man memes is based on the "Distracted Boyfriend" meme.
• As Sprig is about to go home, Molly-Jo asks to see his face to which he replies:
  Sprig: No, it would give you nightmares, and those nightmares would puke.
• Following Sprig's departure after cleaning up the damage from his battle with Robert, a cop casually tells Robert he's under arrest. Robert says that's fair.
• The episode ends with Anne screaming Sprig's name again after learning he made his costume by cutting up some of her clothes.

Olivia & Yunan

• A bit of Black Comedy from Andrias who has just promoted Olivia and Yunan and he wants Yunan to gather some villagers to work in his factories:
  Andrias: And if anyone resists...
  (Olivia and Yunan both gulp in fear)
  Andrias: (tenderly) Give them a stern talking to.
  Olivia: Oh?
  Yunan: Not too bad.
  Andrias Just kidding, terminate them!
• This Berate and Switch comment after Lady Olivia becomes fed up with Andrias turning Amphibia into a Polluted Wasteland.
  Yunan: Lady Olivia! If you're going to talk treason...
  (Yunan grabs Olivia and brings her into a different hallway)
  Yunan: (whispering) I suggest that you do it in private!
• Yunan tries to prove that she is smart after Olivia suggests that they retrieve Marcy in order to defeat Andrias. She nearly stabs her face with her Wolverine Claws as a result.
  Yunan: Whoa! Did you see that? I nearly took my head off! Okay, maybe we do need Marcy.
• Marcy spends most of the episode in a tired, confused, and out-of-touch state, barely even standing up.
  • Yunan and Olivia's methods to keep her focused after she wakes up are very contrasting. Yunan slaps Marcy in her face and even shakes bodily urging her to wake up, while Olivia responds by covering her with a blanket and giving her a cup of tea out of nowhere.
• What is the great General Yunan's greatest fear? Grubhogs. Apparently, she had a bad experience with them when she was a kid.
• Even though the Core's Lotus-Eater Machine is supposed to project Marcy's worst fear, you can't help but laugh at how exaggerated Illusion!Sasha's face looks when she turns to Marcy saying that she betrayed her and Anne.
  • Even better: this is the storyboard version.
• When Marcy realizes that the eyes on the walls are projecting the images of their fears, one of them glances around nervously before cloaking itself as if to say "Um, no we're not" or "Oh, Crap! They found out!".
  • Apparently just blocking their view makes an illusion pop away, complete with a light "pop" noise.

Hollywood Hop Pop

• The fact that Hop Pop got the commercial gig just by yelling "SAY WHAAAAT?!"
• When Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy hear that Hop Pop got a part in a TV commercial, Mr. Boonchuy jokingly asks if they should be charging rent now that they live with somebody famous. Then he starts to ask that seriously.
  • Before that, Anne does a Spit Take when she saw Hop Pop's commercial and yelling his name out loud.
• Anne's Eye Pop when she finds out that Hop Pop's ad has been added on a billboard.
• Anne and Polly give Sprig a hard time when he finds out Suspicion Island isn't real. Sprig shoots one back when Anne is surprised the lead actor on Primthistle Manor doesn't have a real British accent.
  Sprig: Who's gullible now, Anne?
• What tips off Mr X to the Plantars' new activities, allowing him to start the chase again? He doesn't pay for ad-free streaming.
• In a Call-Back to "Quarreler's Pass", Anne kicks Hop Pop off the cart when he declares he is now intent on becoming a director.

If You Give A Frog A Cookie

• Anne tries to cheer up the Planters by making them cookies. "The answer to all of life's problems!" Mrs. Boonchuy tries one and finds they're pretty good...until she learns Anne made them with cicadas. Clearly, Anne is going to need to be reminded that her fellow humans may not appreciate Amphibian cuisine.
  • Then, Mr. Boonchuy shows up just in time to be on the receiving end of his wife's Spit Take.
• Anne discovers the Plantars are so homesick, they've built a miniature version of Wartwood in the backyard. It's sad at first... then Anne chimes in with "Okay, this can't be healthy."
• While assuring herself that taking the Plantars to see Dr. Frakes is a good idea, she rhetorically asks the miniature Wally if he agrees with her. Only for the fake vagrant to shake his head via wind.
  Anne (kicks miniature Wally with her foot): Oh, who asked you?!
• A prime example of Black Comedy, but as Dr. Frakes is pursuing the frogs and trying to find them, she does so with an enormous buzzsaw that she tore off an exhibit. And when a group of children at the place are watching an educational cartoon, Dr. Frakes comes up from behind and saws it in half within their view. They are understandably terrified.
• When being chased by Dr. Frakes, Anne manages to weaponize the kids' at the science museum's obsession with snacks. Even better, she uses her cicada cookies, which they eat without either caring or noticing that there's bugs in them.

Froggy Little Christmas

• Anne and her father's celebrating over the potential Thai Go float gets really overboard when Bee deadlifts his daughter over his arms. And the moment they hear Oum reject the Christmas-Palooza Parade invite, he immediately collapses and they break the table behind them.
• When told that Mr. Boonchuy is going for a candid theme for the Christmas Card, Sprig asks what last year's theme was. Anne nonchalantly says, "ungulates," and we see a picture of Anne as a giraffe, Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy as a deer and moose respectively, and Domino wearing a goat-hat.
  Sprig: What the heck?
• Mr. Boonchuy's failed attempts to take a photo for the Christmas card.
  • In particular, once he gets annoyed enough...
  Mr. Boonchuy: Gosh dangit! I will get this family photo or I will DIE TRYING!
  (reindeer model falls off the float and nearly hits him)
  Mr. Boonchuy: Aah! I'm sorry, Santa!
  • Also, he takes a photo just as Andrias hijacks the Santa float right in front of them. In fact, he's so caught up in taking the candid photo, he doesn't even notice that the Santa float has come to life in the background.
    • Everyone's Mass "Oh, Crap!" reactions to the Santa-bot are priceless.
• King Andrias' scientists come dressed as Christmas elves after hearing of the holiday from Marcy. One of them delivers the attack drone as a Christmas present, which he has to drag all the way to the King's feet, with Andrias not even lifting a finger to help.
• Andrias thoroughly enjoys testing the drone on his scientists who run around in a panic.
  Andrias: For such tiny legs you three sure move fast.
  • When Andrias sends the drone to LA, it flies into a flock of pigeons, which causes it to crash into a billboard advertising bug spray.
  Andrias: (Takes off goggles revealing bloodshot eyes) Man! I've got to get better at these controls! (Is handed a can of 'Zap-o-rade', which he chugs down)
• After Dr. Jan's long, rambling explanation of the history of Christmas, Sprig complains that "My brain hurts! It has too much knowledge!" A close-up shows Sprig with a huge, swollen head.
• Hop Pop notes that Dr. Jan's description of Christmas sounds a lot like the Amphibian holiday Swamp Hallow's Eve, only without the ritual sacrifices. Then he sees all the stuff from the museum exhibitions Anne gathered for the float.
  Hop Pop: I think I spoke too soon about the ritual sacrifices.
• Hop Pop keeps forgetting his lines as Santa Claus.
  Hop Pop: Ho, ho... Line!
  Polly: [weary sigh] Ho.
  Hop Pop: Really? That doesn't sound right.
  (later during the parade)
  Hop Pop: Ho, ho... Line!
  Polly: You've gotta be kidding me. YOU'RE AN ACTOR!
• Andrias thinks it would take a miracle to find Anne. Then the drone spots the Boonchuys' float, with their name on the side. And to top it off, Anne is shouting "I'm Anne Boonchuy!" along with Sprig for no particular reason.
  Andrias: Well, that was easy.
• The I.T. Gals get distracted geeking out over the giant robot when Andrias hijacks a Santa float to attack the Boonchuys. Polly has to snap them out of it.
• A reindeer decoration keeps falling off the float, narrowly missing hitting people. Then, the one time they need it to come loose — when they're attacking the giant Santa Claus controlled by Andrias' drone — it won't.
  Sprig: Now you're unbreakable?
  • Also, it wasn't the model of an actual reindeer, but one of a white-tailed deer that Anne decided to pass off as a reindeer. The White-Tailed Reindeer trope couldn't be more literal than this.
• After the drone controlled Santa robot deflects all the things that the Boonchuys throw at him, Sprig asks if Santa has a weakness to which Mr Boonchuy suggests they throw milk and cookies which Anne naturally thinks isn't going to to work. Sprig and Polly then throw a giant cookie prop at the Santa robot and it actually lands a solid hit.
  Anne: Well I'll be danged.
• Anne shouts "Merry Christmas!" to Andrias as she launches the Christmas tree at the Santa robot. Andrias cheerfully returns the greeting, before realizing what's coming to him.
  Anne: Hey, Andrias! Merry Christmas!
  Andrias: Hey, thanks! You too — wait, NO!
  • The fact that they defeat the Santa-Bot by launching a Christmas tree at it. Polly in particular being enthusiastic at this prospect is only icing on the cake.
    Anne: The tree! We gotta—!
    Polly: Light it on fire?! [lights up] FINALLY!
• The reaction of a father and his son who witness the destruction of the Santa robot.
• How does Andrias react to the drone's failure? He blames his controller like someone who lost a video game and smashes it with his laser sword. Even Darcy calls him pathetic.
• After Andrias is defeated, snow begins to fall...but then they realize that it's raining ashes because they're in 70 degree Los Angeles.
  Anne: I don't believe this... look! It's snowing!
  Sprig: [tastes flakes with tongue] Nope, ash. It's ash.
  Anne: Ah... that makes more sense.
  • And to make the moment even more hilarious, the jolly tune playing in the background winds down in disappointment the moment they realize it.

Escape to Amphibia

• Hop Pop becomes obsessed with avocados, remarking that the ones on Earth are both tastier and safer than the ones back home.
• The shopping list Terri gives the Boonchuys has eight gallons of yogurt-covered pretzels on it, clearly because she wants to eat them. When asked if it's because of the portal, she just goes with it.
• Anne and her parents have a playful fight with plastic swords while at Spendco. An employee scolds them for it, but starts playing around with one of the swords when the Boonchuys are gone.
  • If you have a sick sense of humor, during the plastic sword fight, Mrs. Boonchuy pretends to impale Anne using a toy sword similar to Andrias' in a fashion similar to the end of "True Colors".
• Hop Pop is exposed as a frog when Mr. X cuts his clothes with a handheld laser. After a beat, the clothes just fall off in pieces.
• While Mr. X interrogates Polly, she says that her plans are to vanquish her enemies and rule the world... and then pulls out a long Enemies List. When a man with a syringe is about to perform "tests" on her, Polly's response is to add him to the list.
• When Molly-Jo learns that "Frog-Man" was an actual frog-person, she's not really surprised.
  • One of the temple ladies remarks in Thai that she loves frogs... with garlic.
• Anne sneaks into a room marked "Exhibits A, B, and C", hoping to find the Plantars, but it turns out to be a trap laid by Mr. X... with the Earth frogs from his premiere episode as bait.
• The entire Star Wars Shout-Out with Anne facing a bunch of FBI Agents in the hallway.
  • After Anne takes down an FBI agent, the other one in the room panics and tries to get out the door, only to fail because he was pushing on a pull door.
  • And when Anne leaves the room to take down the agents, her dad nonchalantly hopes that she doesn't actually kill anyone.
• Mr. X and Agent Jenny go to reset the generator after the power goes out, only to find that it's gone. As they stare at the empty space where the generator should be, Mr. X gives a surprisingly understated "Well, that's not good."
• The gang hijacking an FBI van, which bursts through the wall to retrieve the Plantars. Instead of going back through the hole they made, they make another one from the inside for Rule of Cool's sake.
• As the gang escapes the compound, Mr. X orders the guard to close the gate. But since the gate is a flimsy wooden bar, they just smash right through it in their stolen FBI van.
  • Mr. X and the security guard giving each other a thumbs up beforehand makes the smash twice as hilarious. The guard even remarks that he wasn't sure why they believed that would work.
• When a truck full of FBI agents crashes, Mr. X is not concerned. He just casually says that they'll be fine, since they have airbags.

Commander Anne

• Loggle has been working out since Anne left, and he is ripped! ^note Not to mention a little taller.
• When Sasha mentions the mind-control serum made with mushrooms, Sprig sarcastically says that this sounds awfully familiar while he, Anne, and Polly give Hop Pop the stink eye.
  Hop Pop: I turned you into zombies one time!
• During the Failure Montage of Anne trying to lead the Wartwood resistance to the factory, in a Freeze-Frame Bonus, Anne loses her shoe again rescuing the Plantars from a quicksand hazard they walked into because they were so distracted watching an Earth show on Anne's phone. Her reaction when Hop Pop points this out at the very end of the episode is hilarious.
• The Plantars have become so spoiled by the comforts of Earth life that they've lost their ability to live on Amphibia. It also doesn't help that the skills they've picked up on Earth have zero utility for surviving a medieval apocalypse.
  Hop Pop: Ahhhh!
  Anne: What happened?!
  Hop Pop: I got a grass stain on my pants!
  Sprig: Oh! I have Mrs. B's stain remover pen!
  Polly: Soak it in water first.
• Anne got the idea for the frogs to form a bridge to cross the base's moat from a movie about mice breaking into a French restaurant.
• While it happens during a serious conversation between Sasha and Anne about who is the most qualified in the commander role, in the background the mind-controlled snake swallows Wally as the latter lets out a Wilhelm Scream.
• To force Sasha into taking control of the situation, Anne literally jumps into the snake’s mouth, which makes Sasha shout in complete bewilderment:
  Sasha: WHAT THE HECK, BOONCHUY!?
• After everything that has been done, Hop Pop lampshades to Anne that she lost one of her shoes, much to the latter’s annoyance.

Sprivy

• Mayor Toadstool is still counting his money, even though it's useless in the current situation.
  Toadie: Aren't these worthless, sir?
  Toadstool: That don't mean we don't have to count them, Toadie.
• Sprig and Ivy's Sickeningly Sweethearts behavior is getting on everyone's nerves.
  Mrs. Croaker: Young love is the worst.
• After a Good News, Bad News moment, Anne privately complains to Sasha about how Grime always gets to do the "good" news.
• Loggle expresses surprise that the robots guarding the laser cannon have shifts.
• After the team leaves, the remaining resistance members decide to beat up a piñata of Andrias. Despite it being a spontaneous suggestion from Wally, the fact it drops straight out of the ceiling ready to go implies that beating up the image of the would-be conqueror is a usual activity for the resistance members to blow off steam.
• A postman passes by a laser cannon singing "Delivery for Wartwood, delivery today!" Then he gets blasted by the cannon, and he sings, in a rather pained voice, "Delivery for Wartwood, delivery delayed!" Talk about dedication.
• Fern pauses during the mission to look up at the clouds. She sees one that looks like... a cloud. (It actually looks like letters that spell out "cloud".)
• Sasha's cheerleading muscle memory kicking in as she explains the group's battle plan by doing a little dance with a pair of flags. She does it again when the plan succeeds.
• It's only at the end of the episode that Fern realizes that Sprig and Ivy are already dating.
• The fact that Sasha is the one to teach Sprig and Ivy the lesson about having to accept that you may need to be apart from your loved ones at times is pretty rich, considering that this is her only episode until "All-In" where she spends any screentime apart from Anne.

Sasha's Angels

• Wally shows how tough he is by whittling a little ducky... then turning it over to show that it has scars and is holding a big knife.
• Toadie tries to prove that he can break out of his comfort zone... by wearing his bowtie askew. After a few pained moments, he readjusts it.
• The leader of the Marauders turns out to be Barry the candyman, who announces he's got "a sweet tooth for anarchy!"
• How did Toadie learn to do his crazy feats of jumping around the marauders, attacking and tying them up? It turns out that he uses those same techniques to dress the Mayor every morning.
• Maddie gets even with Barry by turning him into a bird again. Then at the end of the episode, when the Resistance takes all their supplies (including their food), the marauders decide to try and eat Barry.
  Barry: Holy bagawwk!

Olm Town Road

• Polly decides to attract the attention of the olms from Quarreler's Pass by pestering her brother. "Yes! Whine louder!"
• Sasha offering to let Lysil and Angwin stay in Wartwood if they need to. You can tell Sprig isn't happy about the idea.

Mother of Olms

• Sprig, being Sprig, can't resist touching the gong that summons Mother Olm. And "touching", translates to repeatedly whacking it, creating an ungodly racket that causes the girls to cover their ears and Hop Pop to lose his balance trying to do the same.
• Sasha is a bit of a Butt-Monkey in this episode, hating the entire mission into Mother Olm's head.
  • From the outset, Sasha refuses to even participate, doing a sudden 180 as she is about to enter Mother Olm's ear. Anne has to literally drag her inside as Sasha starts to whine.
    Sasha: But it's gross and I don't wannaaaa!!!
  • She walks right through a big pile of earwax and yells "Worst Mission Ever!" Cut to Hop Pop soaking in tea while he says "Best Mission Ever!"
    • Later, they get stuck in Mother Olm's nose, sinking in her snot. The only thing Sasha can say is "Gross, gross, GROSS!" It's equal parts disgusting and funny.
  • To remove the goop from herself, she asks if Mother Olm happens to have a shower in her lair. Mother Olm obliges... by spitting a whole kettle of tea on her.
    Sasha: (notices Anne and the Plantars nervously stepping aside while Mother Olm takes a big swig of her tea) What are you guys- Oh no. No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO— ooh, is that jasmine?
• As the team enters Mother Olm's nervous system, they get shocked by her neurons. The spastic fits Mother Olm has during this are also pretty hilarious.
• The gang finding Dr. Yohan's corpse? Terrifying. Polly's reaction? Goes straight into Nightmare Retardant.
  Sasha: (creeped out) I think we just found Dr. Yohan.
  Polly: Eh. Old and gone.
• Mother Olm is extremely forgetful and completely unable to remember the prophecy even after the whole ordeal the team had to go through to get it. Once she does remember she happens to have the text of the prophecy on the ceiling, Sasha tells her to hurry up and translate it before she forgets how to read.
  • She also speaks pretty casually for a millennia-old being, agreeing with Sasha that she and Marcy should "all get cool anime powers".

Grime's Pupil

• When Sasha tells Anne that she sent Sprig and Grime to meet Beatrix, Anne points out that they hate each other. Once the realization sinks in, they run to try and salvage things.
• Anne has a drum-roll app always at the ready to give more flair to the various announcements she and Sasha happen to give.
• Grime's What the Hell, Hero? moment after Beatrix challenges Sprig to a duel, with the losing teaming joining the toads.
  Grime: (sheepish) Guess I should've brushed up on Toad Law. (chuckles nervously)
  Sasha: You just bet...the whole rebellion... ON A CAGE MATCH?!
  Anne: And put Sprig's life down as collateral?!
• Sasha's signature is three emojis: two swords crossing, a winking kissy face, and the painting nails one.
• At some point, Sprig put poison ivy in Grime's codpiece.
• After the initial training session goes horribly wrong, Sprig gives up and leaves to figure out how to beat Beatrix on his own while Grime says that he won't and refuses to take responsibility for Sprig getting maimed, and then...
  Grime: HOW DID I LOSE TO THAT BRAT?!
• During the fight with the hybeenas, Sprig hops over one he blinded while it's charging at him and it flips over before exploding for no good reason.
• Sprig calling Grime "Grimothy", causing the latter to threaten to eat him alive if Sprig calls him that again.
• Sasha still has one of her old cheerleading chants down to a T, though she didn't have time to change the lyrics because leading the resistance kept her pretty busy. Note, though, that she apparently had time to stitch together a uniform.
  Sasha: [Cheerleading] "Kicking butts and taking names / We're the school they call Saint James!" [Stands on top of cheerleaders pyramid]
  Hop-Pop You didn't even rewrite the song?!
  Sasha: I'm very busy Hop-Pop!
• Despite admitting that it's not appropriate for the occasion, Grime can't help but childishly tease Beatrix for being beaten by a Frog. In response, she bonks him on the head, knocking him out.

The Root of Evil

• The episode opens with the Plantars trying to recruit new soldiers for the rebellion. Hop Pop tries to sell them on the horticultural revolution that the underground hydroponic farms are part of, which they are less than receptive to. Then Anne offers that those who join the revolution could eventually be as jacked as Loggle, which gets an immediate audience.
• The wailing of the villagers after Loggle steps on a flower by accident.
• After fighting off the Newtopian extermination team, Gary casually announces that he and the villagers of Gardenton are still planning to kill the Plantars.
• Anne dives straight into shipping mode when she says it could be a lady mushroom whose spores are fueling the mind control collars, only for Gary to bluntly say, "That's not a thing". Anne agrees, saying everyone knows that before awkwardly scooting away.
• Once all is said and done, the episode ends on the group taking a moment to agree on how comfortable the cult's "dresses" are as they're driving away.

The Core & The King

• Andrias awkwardly asking the Core in Marcy's body what he should call it now.
• While Marcy may be trapped in Darcy's head, some of her personality traits and clumsiness still bleed through, the name itself coming from one of Marcy's favorite video games. It even poses on one foot right before falling flat on its face.
  Darcy: Haha. This thing needs some calibration.
• When Leif performs a dance to enchant creatures like the Moss Men, Andrias is shielding his eyes while blushing and Barrel is dancing along as the dance works on him too. When Leif stops, Barrel asks if anyone else just blacked out.
• Darcy makes the Windows startup noise on rebooting.
• Darcy stuffing its mouth with cupcakes.

Newts in Tights

• Anne does not look impressed when Tritonio's band of newt bandits shows off how good their muscular legs look in tights.
  Anne: I shouldn't have asked.
• Part of Tritonio's tragic backstory consists of him T-posing in the middle of a street as a drooling child only to get kicked offscreen by a giant boot for no reason.
• There's something amusing about how Andrias apparently constructed fro-bots in the shape of giant mechanical judges just for holding Kangaroo Courts to execute threats to his rule.

Fight or Flight

• Despite not wanting to deal with what happened last time, Sprig caves into Anne's request to protect Domino 2's kittens — not because they charmed him, but rather out of guilt, because Anne was using Puppy-Dog Eyes along with them.
• As soon as the resistance decide to keep Domino 2's kittens until Anne and Sprig save her:
  Sasha: I’m more a dog person, so.. (gets attacked by one of the kittens) Ah! MAKE IT QUICK!
  • What's even funnier is that the sound of a razor is heard when one of the kittens attacks Sasha.
  • Even funnier still is that the kitten seemed offended by Sasha saying she was a dog person and so it's hilariously easy to imagine that it attacked her because of that.
• No one can resist the cuteness of Domino 2's kittens for long, even knowing what they're capable of once grown.
  Hop Pop: [entranced] Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind. And therefore, is winged Cupid painted blind?
  • Wally bonds with the one that looks like him, which he names "Wally Jr." The few scenes they share together shows Wally Jr. making the same facial reactions as his namesake.
• Sprig's line before he gets eaten.
  Sprig: Wow, this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my— I'm about to get eaten, aren't I. (promptly gets eaten)
• The other moths keep trying to eat Sprig, with one trying even after Anne tames them.
  Sprig: There is definitely not enough me to go around!
• Right after Sasha asks Anne and Sprig to train the moths to be their air cavalry for the battle, one of the moths immediately eats Sprig.
  Sprig: [after he's escaped from being eaten] Can we train them not to do THAT?!?!!

The Three Armies

• Sasha references the "Confused Math Lady" meme after Anne brags about her talent for "brokering peace between feuding factions".
• Polly runs the weapon check at the resistance base. She relishes the chance to "borrow" some pointy metal dentures being worn by a toad.
  • Later, once a free-for-all erupts between newts, frogs and toads, she gleefully contributes to the chaos.
    Polly: (grinning widely) Weapons! Grab a weapon, leave a body!
• When Anne uses her Super Mode to stop the three armies from fighting, Grime quietly notes to Sasha "Probably should have led with the 'having powers' thing".
• After finally, finally getting the toads, newts, and frogs to stop fighting and work together, Sprig and Anne agree to shelve the "we also recruited evil mushroom zombies into our army" discussion for another time.

The Beginning of the End

• The fact that Andrias has butler frobots serving him sparkling cider.
  • And when he sees the Resistance clashing with his army, Andrias nonchalantly admits that the resistance army is big, and even takes a sip of the cider while watching and asks one of the butler frobots what flavour it is.
• Wally finally proves the Moss Man is Real After All. In the middle of battle.
  Mrs. Croaker: That's a lot to process, but OK.
• When Anne and Sasha wait for the Plantars and Grime, they arrive jamming out to the playlist Grime had put together.
  Sasha: (whispering) Stealth mission! Hello?!
  Grime: (turns off the music) Oh, right. Sorry.
  • Earlier, Sasha cried Tears of Joy in pride of Grime putting together the playlist.
• Darcy sporting a Cheshire Cat Grin while giving Anne and Sasha a Hannibal Lecture.
• The goofy sounds Grime makes when turning on the music for Sasha and Anne's Super Dance Fusion.

All In

• The episode opens on a flashback to Anne, Sasha, and Marcy turning the school into a K-pop puppy party.
  • During said party, Marcy throws one of the puppies, only for it to land on Principal Murphy's head!
• When Anne and the gang are captured Incredibles-style, Grime opts to break out of the restraints with a little more force. Then he proceeds to try to break free in a few positions (all of which look super ridiculous). It doesn't even work anyways.
  Grime: I'm out of ideas.
  Yunan: ALL IS LOST!
• Mr. X asks if Sasha and Anne know anywhere that they can hide out while they plan their next move, mentioning something heavily fortified and prison-like. Cut to Anne and Sasha's school.
• When Polly notices the metal shop at Anne's school, Mr. X derides private schools.
• Mr. X, when giving Yunan a laser gun, tells her to be careful with the safety. Not having any idea what he's talking about, Yunan proceeds to accidentally fire it, and gets a humongous grin.
• Grime trying Thai food and immediately screaming in pain from the spiciness of the food. Hop Pop can even be heard shouting at Grime to drink water.
  • Earlier, his stomach growls so loud that it catches the attention of a dumbfounded Mrs. Boonchuy and Sprig.
    Grime: (while blushing) Yes, it was me, okay?!
• Anne opens up her locker... only for her to suddenly be buried in an avalanche of school supplies and junk from it.
  • It gets funnier when one notices a spare pair of shoes in there. Why didn't Anne switch shoes?
• In a flashback to Marcy's first meeting with Andrias, Olivia is clearly frazzled trying to keep up with the girl's energy, despite her being on crutches, letting out a Flat "What" when she decides to climb up on Andrias. When Marcy ends up in Andrias' pocket, Olivia's face is just priceless.
  • To show how Marcy endeared herself to Andrias, there's a frame of her sitting in Andrias' pocket with ridiculously sparkly eyes and an adorable smile.
• Upon seeing the Plantars doing their family hunting dance to tame the herons, the older Boonchuys are clearly nonplussed.
• Mr. Boonchuy asking if they can keep their cool tech after the battle is over. X responds that it's proprietary government technology, causing Mr. B to say that it's a "maybe" then.
• Upon seeing her missing student about to fight Andrias, Principal Murphy has a Spit Take and exclaims that she just wanted an essay.
• If you have a very dark sense of humour, Darcy's "dis-armed" joke is worth a few chuckles.
• Mr. X gives Anne her second wind by blasting her favorite song out of speakers that just happen to be secretly installed on every lamppost in LA.
  Mr. X: Behold, your tax dollars at work!
  • Anne's line as she gets back into the fight with Andrias, also an awesome moment:
    Anne: Well hello there, sweet life giving K-Pop.
  • The sheer fact that this moment can be accurately described as "Ru Paul in heelies helps an anime girl fight a giant lizard in robot armor using the power of K-Pop."
• When Sasha cuts the cable to the main Core, Darcy flips out, sporting some of the most ridiculous facial expressions yet.
  • Before that, when Darcy thinks Sasha cut off a limb, they quickly check if there were any damages to the suit.
    • Also Darcy's smug smile face before realizing Sasha severed the cord.
• When returning the castle to Amphibia, the group lets Polly drive. They soon regret that decision.

The Hardest Thing

• With the moon falling to Earth, Andrias and Marcy explain how the Core's final plan to keep control over Amphibia was to destroy the planet if it looked like it would lose. Sasha puts it best.
  Sasha: So, what you're saying is, THIS THING'S A GIANT SORE LOSER?
  Andrias: Hmmm... More or less.
• Anne generates a giant tennis ball and racket using her powers. The ball then suddenly gains Domino's face and turns into a swarm of Domino missiles to attack her foes. It's telling that Marcy summoning a 20-sided die is somehow less absurd by comparison.
• Marcy looks on as Anne and Sasha obliterate the Core's minions, getting teary-eyed because "this is the coolest, most anime thing that's ever happened" to her.
• Marcy pulls back from the group to go fight the Frobots Andrias sent their way, assuming they're there to stop them. Then she somehow trips on the only little piece of space debris out there, flailing harmlessly past them.
  • Even funnier, in the original storyboards Marcy angrily points out the absurdity of tripping without gravity.
    Marcy: OH COME ON! How did I trip in the VACUUM OF SPACE?!
• The Cosmic Guardian initially appears in the shape of an old Apple computer. When Anne points out that the computer model is outdated, it shifts form into Domino. This becomes funnier if you remember Anne's drug-induced rambling from "Adventures in Catsitting," making her comment hilariously prophetic.
  • The Guardian not only speaks without moving its lips, it also licks itself like a real cat would in said form.
  • When Anne declines the offer to take its place, it even pouts like a child because it's gotten bored with its job.
• When the Guardian says that it chose Domino's form because Anne could not handle its true form, Anne says that she's seen plenty of stuff. It then briefly changes to its real form and quickly proves Anne wrong.
  Anne: And you look like my cat because...?
  Guardian: My true form would make your human brain explode.
  Anne: I don't know, I've seen some pretty craz—
  Guardian: (turns into a pulsating energy being while Anne screams in terror)
• When Anne turns the Guardian down on inheriting its position, it mentions "Bagel Fridays", as if its God Job is an actual office job.
• Anne convinces the Guardian that she's just a thirteen year old girl and wouldn't be a good candidate, saying how she's made plenty of mistakes and would definitely mess up having cosmic power at her disposal. Inspired by how Anne says she's learned from this, it decides to take her back and wait... while casually revealing Anne will die at 91.
  Guardian: Go. Live your life. I've waited thousands of years to retire, what's 78 years more?
  Anne: Wait, are you saying that in 78 years I'm gonna... (the portal flashes brightly) AAAHHHH!
• Anne returns to Amphibia very close to where she 'died', literally seconds after she disintegrated. With everyone focused on where she 'died', virtually no one notices that she's returned, despite her standing pretty much right in front of everyone. When Anne tries to interject, Hop-Pop tearfully tells Anne to leave them be for a moment, as they are still mourning her 'death'. It takes Sprig doing a Double Take before anyone realises that Anne has come Back from the Dead.
  Anne: [coughs] What's everyone looking at?
  Hop-Pop: [waves her off] Not now, Anne, we're mourning the loss of a true hero. And the greatest kid who've ever—!
  Sprig: [Double Take] Anne?!
• Sasha and Grime try to have a dignified goodbye... then immediately burst into big messy tears and sob about how they're going to miss each other.
  • Poor Grime has to visibly exert himself to get the floral crown on Sasha's head, being a fair bit shorter than her.
• Unlike the dramatic moment when she got her legs last season, Polly getting her first hair right after the girls leave Amphibia is much less impressive. It's still funny though.
• The frog from the first episode who was carried off is still up there even after the Time Skip. And he claims that he likes it now!
• One of the couples revealed to be canon in the epilogue: Bessie and Joe Sparrow. Amazingly, they somehow managed to have hybrid children.
• Apparently, Hop Pop managed to bring one of the avocados, or at least a seed, with him to Amphibia, starting his own dynasty.
• Loggle, who had become muscular during the rebellion, returns to his original, non-muscular form after apparently taking one cheat day.
• Even ten years later, Marcy is still as much a klutz as ever, managing to trip and sprawl all over the floor walking out of the airport to greet Sasha.
• Sasha went into psychology to try and help kids like she once was overcome some of their issues, and she says it's very rewarding... before honking and shouting at another driver to use their turn signals.
• Joe Johnston made a joke alternate ending that shows Anne and the Guardian 78 years later. Unfortunately for the Guardian, Anne doesn't take the offer again, this time because she can't remember it, as she's become a senile old codger. Then she passes on, much to the Guardian's frustration as it shouts, "Great! Now I have to start all over!"
