Season 1

    Big Time Audition 
  • Gustavo pulls out a ROCKET LAUNCHER on a guy that was auditioning.
    • The punk rock-looking guy after him doesn't fare any better. He steps up to the mic while Kelly and Gustavo are still arguing, and without missing a beat or looking away from Kelly, Gustavo yells "KEEP WALKING! DON'T STOP AT THE MICROPHONE. JUST KEEP WALKING!"
  • When Kendall's mom opens her front door to find the boys, in police custody:
    Kendall: "Mom! Remember that time I saved you from choking? Wow, that was close. <Beat> And I love you."
  • Camille's introduction.
    Big Time School of Rocque 
  • Gustavo has hired a 'WWE Super-teacher' to keep an eye on the boys. Kendall asks if Chris Master was going to stop them...and thus eats his words when the sceen changes and when Chris Master—all dressed up as a teacher and has written Mr. Masterpiece on the chalkboard—suddenly has the shirt ripped off.
  • After getting themselves kicked out of the School of Rocque, the boys delight themselves at the fact that they managed to end up in the Palmwoods School. Just as Miss Collins prepares to begin the lesson, the boys end up jumping up on their desks and pull out water soakers to excitedly spray everyone around them while Carlos dines on a pie. Cue the episode ending with the four writing on the chalkboard in detention.
    Big Time Mansion 
  • James and the FBI:
    James: Call the FBI!
    Logan: For a missing cat? (James nods enthusiastically) The FBI only deals with serious crimes.
    James: Oh...that explains a lot...
    (Flashback)
    James: (in the bathroom, shaking a can of hairspray with an urgent look on his face) FBI?! Help! My hair is limp and lifeless! ...hello? (examines phone as dial tone is heard)'' Hellooooo?
  • Also:
    Kendall: And...it's also time you stopped feeding me dinosaur-shaped chicken.
    Mrs Knight: But you love your dinosaur chicken!
    Kendall: Yeah!...When I was eight!
    Logan: We are men, Mrs. Knight!
    <Cut to James and Carlos making dinosaur noises while playing with their food>

    Gustavo: Oh, you want me to let the monkeys mansion sit!?
    Logan: Yeah, I thought we were dogs?
    Gustavo: YOU'RE MONKEY DOGS!
    • Upon seeing the locked fridge in Gustavo's mansion:
    Kendall: Why do you think Gustavo locks his fridge?
    James: I bet he keeps his heart in there.
    Logan: Or his victims.
    Carlos: Or food!
  • Carlos again after the boys wonder how they'll open the fridge:
    Carlos: Step aside, boys. My uncle was a locksmith. (framing the lock with his hands) You just place your hands between the cylinder and the central housing... THEN YOU HIT IT WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER!!!
  • The episode ends with Gustavo entering his bathroom, only to end up getting attacked by his alligator that was put in there.
    Big Time Demos 
  • The gang try to suck up to Griffin's daughter Mercedes in the belief she chooses which acts become famous for the company. After going along with it, she tells them the real way the record acts are chosen, eliciting an absolutely beautiful You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me! reaction from the boys, Gustav and Kelly.
    Gang: A MONKEY picks the demos?!!?!!?!?!
  • The boys, Gustavo, Kelly, and Mercedes sit dejectedly in the lobby after losing Lolo and failing to convince him to like their demo. Kendall then stands up and proceeds to rattle off an encouraging speech that lifts everyone's spirits... only for Griffin to walk in with Lolo.
    Kendall: No. We are not giving up. We're almost halfway there, and another thing I've learned since coming to LA is that together? We can do anything.

    Griffin: Look who I found, hitchhiking on the Hollywood freeway.
    Kendall: Yeah, we're done.

  • "You, don't panic. You, STOP BEING ORANGE!"
  • When James walks into the lobby, Kendall jumps up from behind the desk, dual-wielding super soakers, and starts trying to hit James to wash the spray tan off. What ensues is a Matrix-esque scene that involves James dodging in ridiculous ways, including two cartwheels and a backflip, and all of the other people in the lobby getting caught in the crossfire, all of it set to techno music straight out of an action movie. The scene itself ends with James ducking into the elevator only to stick his head back out and pointedly spray more of the fake tan on his face.
    Big Time Video 
  • The City is Ours Imagine Spot. They dance as buildings. That is all. Refer to the picture at the top of the page.

    Logan: Yeah, that's acting, right?

    Kelly: Because you're an idiot?
    Gustavo: NO!
  • The episode ends with the boys enjoying their new car Gustavo got for them. Then Bitters, who's still inside the trunk, calls them to ask how long he's in there for, where they reply for about two more months until Logan gets his license.

They then show Griffin a video of his embarrassing habits that they made which includes firing people, dancing, kissing a large picture of himself, hanging on a wall in his office saying "I love you mommy" while sleeping, testing a bow and arrow on people, jumping on his office couch doing gymnastics, singing to BTR, farting, playing with a toy car, playing with toy animals, and a clip of him doing karate punches when he gets out of the shower with his towel accidentally falling down revealing his bare butt. Under the risk of the five uploading the video online, Griffin agrees to end the reality show and delete the clips, even firing Snake when the latter complains.

As it turns out, however, it also meant that they would also have to travel to the capital to share their idea to the governor and other school winners.
