- In "Fame" when Ben finally gets the Ultimatrix to work and turns into Chromastone:Wasn't even sure if I still had this one.
- Sensitive Ben as Humongousaur:"I think you're being deliberately hurtful!"
- Also his Transformation Name Announcement, which he sang. ♪ Humongousaur! ♪
- Actually, many of Kevin's reactions to Sensitive Ben.Sensitive Ben: I understand. I'm truly sorry.
Kevin: Stop understanding! Stop apologizing! Stop talking about your feelings!
- This exchange from Video Games. Kevin isn't smart enough to avoid putting his foot in his mouth, but he's smart enough to shut up once he's done it.Kevin: Look, Gwen, you have to treat a car like you treat a woman.
Gwen: [gives him a look] Go on.
Kevin: … No. I sense I've made a mistake of some kind.- In that same episode, Ben has been approached to star in a video game about him (supposedly,) so he does some mocap as Humongousaur. Then one of the spherical sensors comes off the suit. His reaction?
Humongousaur: Uh… One of my balls fell off. - At the beginning of Escape From Aggregor, Ben as Four Arms is fighting a Yeti controlled by Animo while Kevin and Gwen work on disabling a Devolution Bomb. When Animo gloats about how the bomb will turn everyone in its range into a yeti, both Ben and the Yeti stop fighting to stare at Animo, with Ben asking if that’s really Animo’s plan.Gwen: Kinda reminds you of the old days, doesn’t it?
Kevin: What? Stupid plans? Guess so. - Right after Ben talks about how secretive the Forever Knights are in "Andreas' Fault", we see that our friend Jimmy often plays World of Warcraft with one of them.
- Also in "Andreas' Fault":Fan: Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben, BEEEEEEEN, Ben, Ben, Ben??!!!
Ben: [angrily] WHAAAT?!!
Fan: [timidly] After all the hype, the Alien X Smoothie was a real disappointment. Kind of tastes like filler.- As far as we know Ben has only turned into Alien X once ever at this point of the series and it was isolated from the public, so there is also the fridge logic on how Mr. Smoothie was able to put a picture of Alien X on a cup.
- From the episode "Hero Time":Overlord: Captain Nemesis is dead. From now on, call me, OVERLORD!
Goop!Ben: How about we call you a good therapist?- And Rath in the episode;LEMME TELL YA SOMETHIN' ULTIMATRIX! RATH IS SICK OF YOU NOT WORKING RIGHT! IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY ANYMORE!
- This is somewhat reflecting the fact that some fans find the 'Ben mistransforming gag' kind of old now.
- This is later followed by another meta jab with Ben turning into Four Arms and shouting his name like he normally does, and Captain Nemesis decides to also shout out his name.
- And Rath in the episode;
- This exchange from the episode "Reflected Glory":JT: *leaning forward from the back seat* So, what's it like being you?
Kevin: *deadpan* Awesome.
JT: I knew it! - At the end of "Reflected Glory": "Even the Internet thinks you're lame."
- In "Perplexahedron", when Azmuth calls everyone to berate them for failing to stop Aggregor from getting 3 out of 4 pieces of the Map of Infinity, Ben points out that he's not helping them find Aggregor by just berating them and says that his words are not important. Azmuth looks like he's about to argue, only to end up conceding Ben's point.Azmuth: Tennyson!
Ben: Hmm?
Azmuth: Pay attention, this is important!
Ben: No it isn't, you're yelling at us and telling us how stupid we are. That's not helping us find Aggregor so it's not important.
Azmuth: (livid) Ben Tennyson you are... (relents) absolutely correct.
Kevin: (dumbfounded) He is?
Gwen: He is. - Kevin's explanation of where baby Alien X's come from to ten-year-old Ben."What? I had to learn about astrophysics on the street!"
- Ben's invitation for Kevin to enter the ship in "The Enemy of My Enemy"."Doofus, you have the powers of a ghost! Just come in already!"
- Darkstar's un-victory. He really thought it would be that easy?
- In 'Revenge of the Swarm"Kevin: Then how do you explain this!? (holds up toupee)
- Paradox's ominous warning concerning the story arc in "Ben 10,000 Returns" is ended with a cheery goodbye.
- From "Moonstruck", Young Max gets a great one by screaming out Kevin's catchphrase: "My ride!"
- "Prisoner Number 775 is Missing" is one of the darkest episodes in the series, but it also has some of the funniest moments.
- The episode begins with the Power Trio discussing why Ben yells out his aliens' names when he transforms. Later in the episode, Ben turns into Wildmutt to track Prisoner 775. He snarls indecipherably, and then a disembodied voice cries out his name. Then, the camera zooms out to show Gwen with her hands cupped in front of her mouth.
Gwen: Well, he can't talk! Someone had to do it for him!- This Becomes a Brick Joke when Gwen complains that she was going to do it for Ultimate Wildmutt, who can talk and did it himself. And again when Ben first goes ChamAlien, he shouts "Overkill!" causing Kev and Gwen to roll their eyes.
- After failing to turn into Humungousaur twice (arguably due to saying its name first), Ben deliberately names the wrong alien and gets the one he wanted.
- Everything Rath does in this episode. At one point, he yells at gravity. He then tops himself by threatening the hole he made after falling out of the sky.
Ben: Time for Humungousaur! (Transforms into Rath)
Rath: RATH! FINE, RATH'S BETTER ANYWAY! HEY, HEY, LEMME TELL YA SOMETHIN', MISSING ALIEN PRISONER! NOBODY GOES UNLESS RATH SAYS THEY CAN GO! BECAUSE RATH GOES BEFORE EVERYBODY! SO NO GO, YO! (Jumps and holds on to the ship) AAAH! IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT, STOLEN PLUMBER SHIP?! 'CAUSE RATH'S GOT TONS MORE! IN FACT, I SHOULD GIVE YOU SOME OF MINE, SO IT'LL BE A FAIR FIGHT! AND AFTER THAT, EVERYTHING I GAVE YOU, I CAN TAKE IT BACK AGAIN! AND MAKE YOU LIKE IT!
Kevin: You know, Rath is the only alien that makes me wanna get a box of popcorn, kick back, and just watch.
Gwen: Kevin, this isn't the time for- Okay, me too.
Rath: AAAH! GIVE UP, STOLEN PLUMBER SHIP! YOU CAN'T ESCAPE FROM RATH! YAAH! (Extends his claw, starts tearing the ship apart. The ship begins to crash) CRASHING'S GOOD TOO! RATH CAN CRASH ALL DAY! (The part of the ship Raths holds on to tears off, Rath falls down) OH, NOW YOU'RE USING GRAVITY! WELL FORGET IT! GIVE UP, GRAVITY! YOU CAN'T BEAT RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH! (Slams into the ground)
...
Rath: LEMME TELL YA SOMETHIN', STUPID RATH-SIZED HOLE! RATH WILL DESTROY YOU! *attempts to stomp on the hole*
Gwen: Oh, for crying out loud. Ben!
Rath: *pauses, then kicks dust at the hole* What?
(Gwen gives him a stern look)
Rath: Sorry. *turns back into Ben* - "Double Or Nothing" gives us "Ben 10 Live" — which, in the grand tradition of "Batman the Musical" and "The Ember Island Players", is suitably a total farce. The best part, however, would have to be the overactor playing Vilgax:"Attention Earthlings! I am Vilgax the Conqueror, here on my moon base… on the moon! Surrender, or I shall destroy you! Muhuhuhahahahaha!"
- Even better, our actual heroes are in the audience and immediately snark about it.Kevin: Moon base?
Ben: Yeah. I hear it's on the moon. - Amusingly, Gwen is totally on board with thinking the show is great until the "Gwenettes" show up and do a showgirl line. At that point, Kevin decides the show is even better but quickly backslides so Gwen doesn't notice.
- Even better, our actual heroes are in the audience and immediately snark about it.
- This exchange:Gwen: You do have a heart!
Kevin: [sobs] Yeah, that's what poor people have instead of money. - Kevin trying his hardest to remember the name of some show about kids who saved the world with the power of recycling.
- And later trying to remember the name of that show with two secret agents investigating the paranormal, one skeptical and one believing.
- And even later narrating the episode like a Lemony Narrator.
- Kevin's exasperation with the others for not seeing the similarities and wondering if he's the only one who watches television.
- Ben/Big Chill tries to play into Ma Vreedle's sympathies.Big Chill: Wait! I'm a mother too!
Ma Vreedle: You are?
Big Chill: Yes. So I know how you must feel.
Ma Vreedle: Oh yeah? Where are your kids?
Big Chill: Off in deep space somewhere. Maybe this wasn't the best example.- Upon her defeat, Ma Vreedle gives a familiar-sounding spiel that she "would've gotten away with it if it weren't for You Meddling Kids"
- "The Eggman Cometh" features Dr. Animo spreading monsters under his control through town by selling what look like ordinary chicken eggs. Along the way, we get the gem of seeing Dr. Animo do a commercial for "Animo Farms" dressed like a farmer and attempting a really bad Southern accent. The pained-but-still-on-camera look on his face when the commercial is over says it all.Animo: [furious] Cut! Print! No retakes!
- Jury Rigg taking apart the brakes of Kevin's car. Made even better by Kevin's lack of brakes lasting the entire episode.
- The end of the episode, when the reversal of Animo's ray turns the dinosaurs into chickens and makes the sheriff (who previously dismissed evidence Ben had gathered because the alien he’d transformed into wasn’t a registered US citizen) smart enough to instantly solve his Crossword Puzzle.
- Azmuth being challenged to take the sword back from Sir George.Azmuth: You think I can't take it? I am Azmuth, creator of the Omnitrix, sculptor of worlds, the smartest being in five galaxies. Of course, I can take it.
Beat
Azmuth: Ben Tennyson, take it from him. - Gwen!Rath from "Inspector #13". "LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, ANNOYING VOICE THAT NO ONE EVER SEES! WE'RE GONNA BASH THESE STUPID ROBOTS ALL DAY LONG SO BEN CAN FIX THE ULTIMA... ULTI... SO HE CAN FIX THE STUPID WATCH!!"
- The Techadon Insectoid Defense Scenario. Splat... basically a high-tech flyswatter.
- Kevin turning into Wildmutt while driving.
- After they made it out of the car crash, you can hear a muffled "Not my car!" from him!
- Don't forget Gwen as Upchuck and Kevin as Nanomech.
- This exchange:Ben: Boy, am I stupid.
Gwen!Rath (offscreen): LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, BENJAMIN KIRBY TENNYSON! EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT! - And then the end, with Gwen asking if Ben tried to use her and Kevin's powers since she and Kevin got stuck with his. Ben's response?Ben: (face palms) Oh, man!
- Charmcaster showing Darkstar the door at the end of "Couples Retreat."
- It may be
Character Derailment, but Darkstar is just so DUMB in this episode in general that it crosses the line into being amusing, especially with Wil Wheaton hamming it up.
- It may be
- While most of "Night of the Living Nightmare" was scary, it had a funny part. Lodestar losing his head."Your ears are over here with me. You can't hear a word I’m saying, can you?"
- This exchange between Ben (as Chromastone) and Diagon during the three-part finale is worthy of a chuckle:
- Diagon: (to Sir George) Don't you tire, George the Triumphant?!
Chromastone: Give him a break! He's 2,000 years old, and he's been fighting ninjas all day! Of COURSE he's tired!
- From the Cosmic Destruction video game:
- Azmuth’s childlike enthusiasm when asking to touch the piece of the Potis Altiare that Ben found.
- After a Continuity Nod to Pluto getting destroyed in the season one finale of Alien Force, Evil Waybig and Psyphon discuss whether or not Pluto is really a planet, with the latter quickly backing down on his stance that it is when the Evil Waybig threatens him.
- The Reveal that the Evil Waybig was Albedo is immediately followed by his vengeance rant stranded on the Moon complaining about the lack of chili fries. When he laments that it can’t get any worse for him, Lu from "Simian Says" appears with a wrench and gives him an offscreen beating for destroying the communications tower he works at, with Albedo begging "Not in the Face!" as he does.
