Go To

2016

  • Kristie using Rohan's underpants to catch fish in the ocean.

2017

  • Most things Luke Toki did in general. The first episode of the 2017 season had him pulling a Penner and screaming from the voting booth "OI, HOW DO YOU SPELL 'HENRY'?!". And that's just for starters.
  • In an early reward challenge which involved two people sliding down a wet slide to catch a rugby ball, Locky's shorts slipped down in the scuffle and he ended up stark naked by the end of the slide. After he scores the winning point for his tribe, JLP remarks: "nice cheeks".
  • The saga with Jericho and the cookie jar. Especially when he randomly decides to sprinkle the crumbs over the tribe as they sleep.
  • At the fake Tribal Council after Tara gets voted out of Samatau, the tribe are told that there is a surprise second vote. The majority alliance take it upon themselves at the voting booth to state, loud enough for everyone to hear, that they're voting for Anneliese because she didn't vote with them that night. Her stunned reaction is priceless.
  • The Jacqui boot inspired some hilariously cruel voting confessionals:
    Michelle: "Go back to the nursing home."
    Jericho: "The only person who could've saved you abandoned you and went to another tribe! Sucks on you!"
  • The entire 2017 auction. From Luke getting everything to Sarah pretending to be hangry after blowing all her money on a single coconut.
  • In the episode following Henry's blindside, we get a confessional montage of Luke, Jericho, Tessa, Sarah and Michelle all claiming to be the big mastermind behind the move.
  • After Locky dupes Tara into thinking he has an idol, she runs and tells the rest of the tribe, resulting in this reaction from Michelle:
    Michelle: "Locky has an idol? What the fu-" [cuts to confessional] "What. The. Heck?!"

Champions vs. Contenders (2018)

  • Shane's idol hunt early in the season was funny considering it was incredibly obvious to the rest of the tribe.
  • The Contenders tribe win a nacho dinner reward, where they have to go in one-by-one. When it's Robbie's turn, the camera shows that an idol clue etched on the plate is now exposed, but a completely oblivious Robbie pays more attention to the beautiful sunset instead.
  • Similar to 2017, Shane at the "beggars table" at the Champions vs. Contenders auction.
  • When Benji finally reveals the major secret he's been holding onto for the entire game, a secret that goes to the soul of who he is and will cement a trust that will take him through the game: he's not a tradie, but an author worth millions. And Shonee? ...is entirely unimpressed, snarking with the camera and Fenella to wonder what he thought he'd achieve by telling her that.

Champions vs. Contenders (2019)

  • Luke's voting confessional against Susie (a marathon swimmer) in Episode 3:
    Luke: "I'd like to wish you good luck on your next swim... back to Australia!"
  • After the Contenders win an Immunity Challenge, Matt shoves Harry away as he goes into his big wrestling-esque trash talk celebration.
    • On top of that, the camera cuts to a despondent Champions tribe, and Abbey calls him an idiot as he keeps shouting.
  • The home movie reward, where David opens the popcorn stand to look for an idol, causing the popcorn to spill on the floor. When he finds the idol, he proceeds to do a celebration dance before kneeling on the floor and sticking his face in the pile of popcorn. This is made even funnier due to the fact that a video from his wife was playing during his idol search, and he was more focused on finding it than the video.
    • Later on at the same reward, Luke rummages in the chilly bin for ice cream when a video from his family comes up on screen, and we get the hilarious juxtaposition of Luke bawling his eyes out while still digging his hands in the chilly bin.
  • Harry tries to probe Ross for information on who the Champions alliance are targeting. Eventually, Ross lets out a little Freudian Slip...
    Ross: "Can I have your socks?"
  • Andy's big reveal of David having an idol right after his torch is snuffed is instantly made hilarious when he admits in his final words that he completely made it up just to stir the pot, completely unaware that David actually did have an idol.

All Stars

  • During a reward challenge in Episode 2, the tribes have to wrestle each other off a mat. During one round, Phoebe ends up getting pinned down by Abbey, with her rear end inches away from Phoebe's face. This prompts a few giggles from the bench, causing Abbey to do a little butt wiggle for their amusement.
    Phoebe: "There's a lot of arse in my face!!!"

Brains v Brawn

Blood v Water

Titans v Rebels

  • Adding to the Survivor tradition of players doing something fun with their voting parchments, Raymond opts to accompany his votes with oddball meme references.
    • In Episode 3, where Peta gets blindsided at Tribal Council, Raymond’s vote was the last one revealed by JLP, which said “Hey Petah”.
    • In Episode 9, Raymond's vote for Kirby is of course accompanied by a drawing of Kirby... plus a nod to 1, 2 Oatmeal of all things.
    • In Episode 14, Raymond's vote for Winna is - like in Episode 3 - the last one revealed by JLP, carrying the phrase "See Ya Space Cowboy".
    • In Episode 17, Raymond looks like he's about to do a voting confessional, only to realise that he needs to write down a name first. He ends up voting for "Jayden, Muscle Man", and holds his vote upside down.
    • In Episode 19, Raymond's vote for Alex was accompanied with the word "Captain" first.
  • In Episode 5, as the Rebels try to decide on who to send to the Titans tribe in the saboteur vote, Raymond pretty much yells out his vote for Kelly during his confession, claiming he doesn’t understand why everyone’s whispering over this decision.
  • Kelli’s elimination in general. As she is about to say something before she leaves, Kelli is reminded by JLP to get her torch, before going on a speech that includes the line “I am a psychologist”, much to the bewilderment of the Titans tribe. After her torch gets snuffed, JLP has to help Kelli go the right way as she leaves the game, and then comments on how this is the first unanimous elimination vote any tribe has done this season, with some tribemates laughing about this fact.
  • In Episode 15, when Eden gets voted out, he channels his inner Richard Hatch and yells “I’ve been bamboozled!”
