If you have an issue with a horse, please horse-whisper it out first.

Centaurworld's premise alone (a horse from a grim fantasy world ending up in a wacky and colorful Sugar Bowl) is hilarious, and the episodes deliver even more laughs.


    open/close all folders 

Season One

     "Hello Rainbow Road" 
  • Horse freaks out over one of the centaur-shaped houses in Centaurworld having a door where its anus would be: "Butt door!!"
  • Wammawink making an anime face when she decides to make Horse her "metaphorical baby"? Funny. Glendale making a pacman face when she alerts Wammawink that Horse has run off? Hilarious!
  • Wammawink demonstrates that one of her magical abilities is to shoot tiny clones of herself out her hoof. ...and then precedes to do so, leading to said-clone having an existential crisis and wondering why it was brought into existence before running off. When Horse wonders where she ran off to, the other centaurs shrug it off that their guess is as good as hers.
  • Along with Portal Tummy, one of Glendale's unique spells is Prehensile Eyes, which she demonstrates by flopping them against Horse's face. She looks both confused and disturbed.
  • Wammawink "pops" Glendale's eyes (it makes sense in context)causing her to flop over and then fly off like a balloon with a hole poked into it. She floats down from the top of the screen and lands next to Wammawink- whilst T-posing.
    Glendale: Oof! Whooaaaaaaoooooooo-I'mback.
  • It turns into a running gag, from the other centaurs following Wammawink's lead with tiny clones of their own (who also suffer an existential crisis and run off), and then doing it again when Durpleton shows off his clone-making powers. And for good measure, Durpleton shoots a clone while Horse is singing "Hello Rainbow Road".
  • The half-hearted muttering Wammawink gets from the herd when she tries to pressure them into telling Horse they're not bored in the dome doing the same thing every day.
    Glendale: Guess I can just keep lying to you.
    Ched: Wait. We can leave?
  • Horse attempts her first song in Centaurworld only for her voice to crack and her to turn around and hurriedly warmup with some awkward scales and violently coughing to clear her throat.

     "Fragile Things" 
  • The extremely goofy and overly dramatic face Horse makes when she says they're headed to... The SHAMAN!
  • Durpleton guesses what Horse's name is.
    Durpleton: Bamanda? Jonathan Tendergreens? Bunter? Clemmums Clime?
  • Wammawink senses danger and warns the herd from going forward by saying she can predict the future sometimes. Then, to illustrate, she reminds Zulius of how she predicted he'd get a pimple on his eyelid. And he did.
    Wammawink: And not just a regular pimple! A really nasty one!
    Zulius: (screams) No idea what you're talking about.
    Glendale: It's true. The scab fell off and I kept it.
    Durpleton: And I named him Bunter. So I'm really glad that's not your name, Horse. That would get confusing. (Beat) Hey, can I have some... money?
  • After the incident with the Taurnado, Horse resolves to travel the rainbow road by herself, but gets lost shortly thereafter. She happens across a hyena-centaur, and decides to ask him directions because "he has a purse".
    Horse: Do you know where I could find the rainbow road?
    Hyena-centaur: The rainbow road, you say...? I knew a rainbow road, vonce. He stole purses from mein grandpapa. You've got a lot of nerve bringing up his name in zhese parts- a lot— (Suddenly starts coughing harsly) —a lot of nerve.

     "The Key" 
  • Horse singing how she's not crying by insisting that her tears are frustration tears, only to ugly cry in the end with an exaggerated face.
    Horse: (Curled up on the ground) My face is so ugly right noo-oo-oow.
    Zulius: (To Wammawink and Waterbaby) She just had her first ugly cry. So ugly! It was beautiful, actually.
  • Wammawink and Waterbaby sharing a funny moment where the former fakes a British accent while the latter tries to make her do her task.
  • The herd's reaction of what glue is made of. Durpleton, Zulius and Ched react with horror and disgust, while Glendale remarks that learning what it's made of only makes her like it more.
  • The herd's first attempt to fix the damaged boathouse. It's literally just a mountain of dirt, mud, and broken wood hastily decorated with flowers.
  • The reveal that the Rider lookalike Horse has been chasing is really a ficustaur named Gebbrey, who looks absolutely nothing like Rider otherwise.
  • Gebbrey takes a seat next to Horse and screams in pain because the bark at his knees crack whenever he bends them. Then he continues talking as if nothing happened.

     "What You Need" 
  • The spooky voices reading the signs turn out to be coming from some "exposition leaves".
  • Apparently, the Tree Shamans think what Durpleton needs are positive reinforcement farts.
  • The Tree Shamans give Ched "what he needs" by turning him into a horse. He proceeds to freakout and blame it on Horse.
    Ched: This is how you reproduce, isn't it?!
  • Glendale is self aware enough to know that what she needs is to stop compulsively stealing. Then cheerfully says there's no way she's giving that up and steals a family of talking leaves.
  • Glendale gets a little too excited seeing Ched and Horse beat up the bigger of the Tree Shamans for their callous treatment of Wammawink.
    Glendale: It's beautiful! They're bonding over their shared hatred of trees!

     "It's Hidin' Time" 
  • Durpleton goes on a delirious rant about how a sideways 3 looks like a butt.
  • Ched gets his blood slowly sucked out by a mosquito centaur which grows gigantic as it sucks the blood out of him and no one stops it.
  • Zulius offers Ched's desiccated body for Horse to eat.
  • It turns out that most of the herd have no idea how to get food for themselves, since Wammawink is the one who always provides food for them (with her "Gigglecakes" spell). Horse objects to them waking Wammawink up just to get food from her and tells them they should look for food themselves, leading Durpleton to ask how in the song "Where Does Food Come From?". In the end, Horse realizes she doesn't actually know how to get food for herself either, since she always relied on Rider to feed her.
  • Glendale suggests camping out for the night instead of going further, since Zulius has already started his "night routine". Cut to Zulius, who's already setting up an elaborate tent with pillows and blankets and is wearing a sleep mask.
  • While Ched and Horse are arguing about how they ended up in the Beartaur's cave in the first place, he makes this counter argument:
    Ched: Oh yeah, Horse?! We wouldn't even be here, if we were somewhere else, HORSE!!
  • Durpleton thinks the ancient cave mural depicting a war between centaurs and humans against minotaurs was painted by Horse despite the herd literally just discovering it under a layer of dust.
    Durpleton: These are very nice. Why didn't you tell us you liked to paint?
    Horse: When would I have possibly
    Ched: I have notes.
  • After Horse has just saved the herd by sacrificing herself to distract the beartaur, Ched acts like she's already doomed and is ready to move on.
    Ched: She had a good run. I'd give her a solid... 4 out of 10.
  • The bear centaur turns out to be a wargame miniatures nerd, with a musical number about his hand-made collection of figurines from the Centaurs' war with the minotaurs.

     "Holes: Part 2" 
  • Glendale says the hole the Rainbow Road leads to reminds her of a dream she had where she was pregnant with everything she ever stole.
    Glendale: (shudders) Babies.
  • Ched believing Durpleton's echo is an actual person despite Horse correcting him multiple times.
    Ched: Well, fine. If we have to go down the hole, Durpleton's got friends down there.
    Horse: Again, that was an echo.
    Ched: He's also got a really long head.
    Zulius: Again, that's his neck.
    Ched: Whatever. Let's just climb down that thing.
    Glendale: Again, that's a pregnancy hole.
  • The herd jumping into the hole while singing a short, hilarious rendition of "Making Friendships—BOATS!" which is abruptly cut off when they land.
    Holes!
    With every hole
    That's chock-full of babies
    We make new friends
    And climb into cavies

    Thud
  • Despite having only been in prison for ten seconds, Glendale somehow becomes a stereotypical prison inmate, complete with piercings, tattoos, and buff arms.
  • Ched isn't happy to see Zulius somehow got his hands on some cake. "Let me guess, you traded me, again!"
    • Who did Zulius trade Ched to? Gary. A skeleton. Something Ched doesn't notice until Horse points it out to him.
      Ched: (wounded) Is this true, Gary?
  • The mole-taurs Mary and Comfortable Doug have such terrible eyesight they completely fail to high-five one another.
  • Horse accidentally casts her first spell, which brings her tail to life and causes it to tell a bunch of corny jokes.
    Tail: Well folks, that's my time. I'll be here all week! (to Horse) For the rest of your life. Goodbye!
  • Judge Jacket warns the herd against using magic during their trial by telling them about the last person who tried and got three consecutive life sentences: Gary.
    Ched: I knew a Gary once. Probably not the same guy though. 'Cause that guy was—(remembers skeleton) Wait a minute.
  • When Horse's Tail gives Horse a crash course in comedy, she thinks punchlines involve actual punching and grabs the first moletaur she sees to punch them. Horse's Tail then clarifies that comedy has to come from vulnerability, otherwise you'll look like a horse's--
    Horse: When do I punch?
  • The fact Durpleton's the one to figure out the judge was the Shaman while the others are confused at what just happened.
  • At the end of the episode the rest of the group sees Glendale tunnel her way back up to the surface and realize that they completely forgot about her. They immediately agree to pretend otherwise.
    Wammawink: We take this to the grave.

     "Johnny Teatime's Be Best Competition: A Quest for the Sash" 
  • The opening musical number with cataurs is a parody of Cats and ends when Zulius throws a slipper at them causing them all to scatter.
  • Apparently, Horse's Tail does not like cats.
  • An incredibly disheveled-looking Zulius chasing away a group of cheerfully singing of Cataurs with a squirt bottle.
    Zulius: Yeah, yeah, yeah! Scram, cats! Get outta here! (Suddenly speaking in a low, raspy voice) You have all the glitter in the world, but you have no soul.
  • After the residents of Cataur Valley sing an expository song about their daily contests for the sash, Durpleton points out a poster about that very thing.
    Zulius: (Suddenly dressed in a blue dress with pink flowers, and has grown a full beard)Durpleton... yes we just sang a whole song about it. YOU WERE THERE. (Shoves a whole pizza into his mouth with tears in his eyes)
    Ched: Is it just me, or has Zulius gradually been having a mental breakdown?
  • Zulius's rivalry with Splendib the tiger-taur causes him to grow increasingly unhinged throughout the episode, wearing various silly outfits along the way.
  • Zulius shows off the power to stop time and address the audience with his "Hot Goss" spell. It's apparently very painful for everyone else once time unfreezes.
    Horse: What the heck just happened?! Every molecule of my body is on fire right now!
  • After climbing Johnny Teatime's ziggurat, Horse complains "This is an unnecessary amount of steps!"
  • Horse finds out Johnny Teatime is a lot more dangerous than he looks when she tries to steal the decoration from the sash (which happens to be the next piece of the Key) and gets blown off the ziggurat by a massive energy beam.
    Horse: But you were cuuuute! (splat)
  • Durpleton's cheer for Horse during the competition.
    Durpleton: Two, four, six, nine, Horse's... bones... form a... a fine spine! Go, Horse! (writes her name in magic as "Hoorst")
  • Horse fails at all the opening challenges... except for "Ignore the Laser Pointer". She's both happy and confused.
  • When Zulius keeps bitch-slapping Horse when trying to prep her for the talent portion of the Be Best Competition, a series of captions advising the audience not to slap horses appears on screen.
    Caption: * PLEASE DO NOT SLAP HORSES.
    Caption: * IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A HORSE, PLEASE HORSE-WHISPER IT OUT FIRST.
    Caption: * HORSES ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. YOU ARE.
    Horse: Ow! Stop doing that!
    Caption: GOOD FOR HER.
  • Glendale’s first impulse upon seeing Comfortable Doug show up during the competition is to aggressively whip out a switchblade.
  • Glendale's reaction to Zulius stealing the sash for Horse.
    Glendale: Yes! Yes! I'm goin' clear! Do my bidding, my disciple!

     "Ride the Whale Shaman" 
  • Glendale breaks into a long rant about Wammawink forcing her to help her publish a Merdude magazine, which was clearly an outlet for Wammawink's barely-disguised Merdude fetish. At the end, she brings up a Merdude body pillow before Wammawink cuts her off.
  • The only merdude around turns out to be a dopey-looking sunfish merman (who just goes by Sunfish Merguy because his real name is an unpronounceable string of dolphin noises). Wammawink is disappointed at first, but she becomes obsessed with him anyway because he turns out to be a charmer.
  • Horse, lamenting how ridiculous she looks, tells her reflection that, "You look so wrong." This ends up offending Barnus, a barnacletaur with No Indoor Voice, who thinks she's talking to him. After she clarifies, he tells her not to be so hard on herself because she looks fine. Then when Sean-anemone asks what she looks like, Barnus loudly describes her as "like two beach balls had a weird kid," causing her to walk off.
    Barnus: I THINK WE HURT HIS FEELINGS, SEAN!
  • Wammawink got crushed when Sunfish Merguy reveals that he already has a girlfriend as you can clearly see how she's trying to hold back her tears.

     "The Rift: Part 1" 
  • The Whaletaur brings the herd to the temple so they can use the key, and she asks that they not look at her while she goes back into the water. This turns out to be for good reason, since it involves a lot of flopping around on land and awkward grunting on her part.
    • Wammawink tries to give a speech reflecting on how far they've come only to be repeatedly interrupted by the Whaletaur Shaman struggling to get back into the water behind the herd.
  • "Ched said something funny! What did you do to him?!"
  • Glendale's attempt to comfort Wammawink over Horse leaving to back to her "actual best friend."
    Glendale: Hoo-whee! This must really suck for you. I mean, I would be a hot mess if my Buddy for Fancy Frolicking was about to walk into that Rift and go back to her old life. And then I was never gonna ever see her perfect hair balled up in scrunchies ever again.
    Wammawink: Wait, I—
    Glendale: (grabs Wammawink's face) Ever, ever never again! Wammawink, in your whole life! Until you die. (Beat) And even after you die! Also! (sincerely) You're a great friend.
  • As a goodbye to Horse, Durpleton starts to recite a small poem.
    Durpleton: There once was a centaur named Wenis—
    Wammawink: (pushes him offscreen) Okay, Durpleton! That's time!
  • Combined with heartwarming, but Ched's goodbye to Horse starts off as typical insults only for him to gradually admit his true feelings to the point that he's on the verge of ugly crying.
    Ched: Okay, so once upon a time, a horse showed up. We all had to deal with horse stink. Ched had a lot of great ideas, but everybody ignored him 'cause their brains were soft from breathing horse fumes. Bunch of times we almost died—but then we didn't die because Horse was there—that was cool, I guess. Whatever. Just like all horses, Horse was gross, and lousy, and really bad at stuff. And you know what? Whatever. Horse was a great friend. (eyes swell) And... and a hero. (tears form) And a beacon of unflagging integrity—And you know what? I hate this game!
  • Zulius goodbye to Horse consists of a presentation he prepared called "Why I'm Better than You: A Zulius Production" which is projected from Glendale's Tummy Portal. When Wammawink says they're a little short on time and asks to do his slideshow after Horse leaves he takes offense.
    Zulius: "My little slideshow"? (magics a drink into his hand) How dare you? (throws drink in Wammawink's face) Ah! Virgin mojito! I'm leaving! (storms down steps then pops his head back up, laughing) I'm back. I can't leave you. Hello.
    (Herd claps)
    Wammawink: Okay. Well, that was very on-brand, Zulius.
  • Glendale sings her own reprise of "My Collection", where she sings about all the things she stole over the course of the series. She even lampshades how she stole the song she's singing from the Beartaur.
  • Durpleton finds a fortune cookie that reads, "A close friend will soon become a father." His reaction?
    Durpleton: (gasps) Wow. I'm going to be a baby!
  • Comfortable Doug crashes Horse's farewell party just to sing a song about how the herd inspired him to go on a journey of self-discovery.
    Comfortable Doug: You know... I've always been called... "Comfortable Doug" because... That's my name.
  • In the final chorus of Comfortable Doug's song, various side characters -The Glitter Cats, Sunfish Merguy and his girlfriend, and Gebbrey- come out of no where to say that they're comfortable (except Gebbrey, who is still cold). After finishing and reaffirming the moral of the song, Comfortable Doug leaves by drilling himself into the ground. The supporting characters and Comfortable Doug's moletaur back-up singers unceremoniously follow suit.
  • The Herd knitting footie pajamas on Horse using Wammawink's wool. Made it funnier as it looks like Horse is being attacked since she was tossed around in the knitting process.
  • Wammawink trying to stall Horse from leaving with her latest song about doing various activities with one of them offering pancakes to a Cthulhu look-alike named Trebbor.
    Horse: "Who is Trebbor-"
    Wammawink: "HE'S LIKE A FRIEND OR SOMETHING-"
  • Before that she suggested to fish for fishtaurs in the stream using Ched as bait.
    Ched: I did not agree to this.
  • In the final verse of the farewell song, Horse becomes increasingly disturbed by Wammawink, who's obviously desperate to prevent her from leaving.
  • The Mysterious Woman gets in a standoff with Waterbaby after sealing Horse in the Rift to contain the threat that lives within.
    Mysterious Woman: You know what is locked in there!
    Ched: Yeah. Horse.
    Mysterious Woman: An unspeakable evil!
    Ched: Yeah, Horse! And we wanna know she's okay. I mean, they do. I don't really care. But tell us.

     "The Rift: Part 2" 
  • Remember how Gebbrey was running around looking for his jacket? Glendale stole it.
    Wammawink: (after being draped in the jacket) Glendale... whose jacket is this?
    Glendale: (hugging her) Shh. It's okay, never you mind. Don't ask me questions about my things.
  • The Running Gag of the Mysterious Woman making a dramatic exit by teleporting in a blaze of light... only for Zulius to notice she's only managed to get a few feet before just running away.
  • Glendale apparently stole the key from the Mysterious Woman completely unconsciously, though she tries to pass it off as intentional.
  • Ched's plan to save Horse is to fly so fast around Centaurworld that he can reverse time. When he sees Wammawink with the Key he thinks he's succeeded and warns "Horse" (really a pile of garbage) to not go into the Rift, then tells "Past Ched" (a colossal, handsome statue from Glendale's collection) to keep the Key safe before fainting.
  • A reference to Friends comes in completely out of nowhere when Rider learns that the herd is friends with Horse. The scene pauses over the herd with a parody of the Friends logo, a snippet of Friends's theme song playing, and Ched clapping along to the theme.
  • Zulius interrupts the battle against the Nowhere King with his "Hot Goss" spell just to diss the Nowhere King's "pad" (i.e. the Void Between the Worlds).
    Zulius: Smells like a stale bachelor pad in here! He's been in this void how long? He could have done a lot with this space! I mean, Nowhere King? A little on the nose!
  • Rider experiences the zany and ridiculous nature of the Herd throughout the battle as she's rescued by Wammawink, who uses her magic, horrified by Glendale sucking a snake warrior into her portal, being burned by Zulius's Hot Goss spell, and smacked in the head by Ched.
    Rider: (incredulously) What are they doing?
  • Upon realizing that there's a relationship between the Nowhere King and the Mysterious Woman, Zulius wants to stay in the Rift to find out their story rather than take the opportunity to escape.
    Wammawink: Zulius, now is not the time! We've got to go!
    Zulius: No way, we gotta stay! I think they have a history. I'll die if we go now.
    Wammawink: We'll die if we stay!
  • After the battle in the Rift, Ched is inexplicably wearing a t-shirt that says "The Rift" on it, as though he got a souvenir from there.
  • After Waterbaby decides to go after the Nowhere King and protect Rider on Horse's behalf, you can hear Waterbaby and Rider having an awkward greeting in the background as Horse tells the herd her plans for next season.

Season Two

     "Horsatia Wighair Beansz?" 
  • Horse’s recap song does not go over well with the denizen's of Centaurworld. In one case, she interrupts a moletaur wedding, and in another, the Tree Shamans are quick to remind her of how their last encounter ended.
    Tree Shamans: The last time you were here
    All you did was kick and steal from us
    All you did was kick a tree
    And steal our stuff
    Horse: Okay, you’re right. I… I'm sorry.
    Tree Shamans: How does it feel to kick a tree?
    We dont know because we’re trees
    And we don't kick each other
  • Durpleton has adopted "Stabby", the lizard man from the previous episode. Who is still alive, despite the sword in his back.
  • After no one initially answers the ornate gate at the horsetaur palace, Glendale wastes no time in stealing jewels off the door.
  • In order to enter the horsetaur fortress, Horse basically makes up her own silly Centaurworld name… and shockingly, the guard recognizes the name on the list, much to Horse’s bemusement.
  • The rest of the herd is mistaken for Horse’s luggage and immediately taken to be stored. They later escape and meet back up with Horse due to the luggage room having surprisingly lax security.
    • Not long after, they are seen and sent back to the luggage room. Only Glendale is excited to be put back with everyone’s stuff.
    • While most of the herd is upset at being treated like luggage, Zulius is quite happy to be cradled against the staff's washboard abs.
      • Later, as grease lads grease one of the buff Tulip Steppers:
      Zulius: HOW DO I GET THAT JOB?
  • The General reveals himself by quoting Rider’s report that Horse now looks like “two beach balls had a baby”. Rider’s reaction to who she thought was a stable hand turning out to be her boss is priceless.
    • There is also the fact that despite this being a war-torn, medieval-esque world, beach balls still exist and Rider knows what they are.
  • Stabby’s face during Durpleton's lullaby. It must be seen to be believed.

     "All Herd All the Terd 
  • The episode starts with Horse and the herd in the middle of a dramatic encounter with giant shadowy “coldtaurs”… before being randomly abducted by a flock of birdtaurs. All except Ched, who is left to awkwardly excuse himself to chase after his friends.
    • "THE KLEPTO HAS BECOME THE KLEPTEE!"
    • As a callback, near the end of the episode, the birdtaurs fly the herd back to where they were last... except Ched gets left behind a second time and has to chase after everyone again.
  • The Birdtaur flock is a hilarious not-at-all-subtle jab at fandoms, having apparently “binge-watched” the herd’s adventures from the sky, shipping the members of the herd, forming sub-fandoms around certain characters such as Comfortable Doug, and all generally viewing Wammawink as The Scrappy, much to her chagrin.
  • The keytaur. As in "a keytar centaur."
  • Waterbaby disguised herself as a Minotaur to infiltrate their fortress. It is flawless… save for her cartoony eyes and teeth.

     "My Tummy, Your Hurts" 
  • The Herd tries to recruit the Coldtaurs, but they learn that they've already sided with the Nowhere King... firmly believing that he'll give them warmth.
    Durpleton: Stabbleton, those are no-no words! Go to the bad boy baby boy time-out zone!note 
  • Clearly, Comfortable Doug isn't playing with a full deck since he thinks a cell in the Nowhere King's castle is a "comfortable time share."
    Comfortable Doug: Nothing helps a Comfortable Doug unwind like spending time in an exotic jail cell!
    • When Comfortable Doug muses that having two adversaries means a double homicide, there's a close-up of his nipples paired with a Law & Order-style "chun-chun."
  • Glendale holding a TED Talk in all but name. With a smooth, gentle voice that's a far cry from her usual one and dressed in a black turtleneck.
    • During the event, one of the Coldtaurs wonders when they get to kill the Herd.
    (Coldtaurs murmur in awe at her)
  • After Comfortable Doug gives Becky Apples a scare, Rider has just the reaction you'd expect from someone encountering a bald, sweaty, eyeless humanoid with the lower half of a mole for the first time.
    Rider: OH! MY! LORD! WHAT ARE YOU?!
    • There is also how the encounter ends, with Becky Apples kicking Comfortable Doug into the sky like Team Rocket, him complementing her as he flies.

     "Holes: Part 3" 
  • Horse and Wammawink's musical number "Becky Apples" after the former confides in the latter about Rider having a "new horse." The entire song is staged like Rider is "cheating" on Horse with Becky Apples, to the point Wammawink compares Horse's situation to her own when she found out Sunfish Merguy was already dating Jeffica.
    • Horse and Wammawink's picture of Becky as elegant and dainty is completely at odds with how brutal she is in reality.
      Horse and Wammawink: Becky Apples! Becky Apples!
      Horse: What a gorgeous, fancy schmuck!
      Both: Becky how you like 'em apples?
      Horse: 'Cuz I think your apples suck!
    • Wammawink calling Sunfish Merguy the hottest carny that she ever pursued, with a dumbfounded Horse asking, "There was more than one?"
    • Wammawink almost realizes her hatred of Jeffica is irrational. But goes back to hating her before coming to the realization.
      Wammawink: UGH! Jeffica! Making me feel bad about projecting my own insecurities and displacing blame on her when she really did nothing wrong? UGHHH! She's the worst!
  • When Zulius tells Wammawink that she pulled a Jeffica by recruiting the diggertaurs with Horse desperate for a win, she doesn't take it well. At all.
    Zulius: Sounds like you pulled a real... Jeffica!
    Wammawink: [In slow motion, as her pupils shrink and her face twists in horror, then anger] Jeffica?... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
  • Glendale has wanted posters everywhere so she walks around in a top hat, glasses and a fake mustache while speaking Spanish and calling herself "West Covina". When the herd gets ready to leave, Wammawink tells her to take off the disguise...only for the real Glendale to come out of the wall. She then frames the mustached person for her crimes.

     "Bunch O’ Scrunch" 
  • How does Wammawink find Young Ched and Durpleton? Hanging from the ladder of Glendale's offscreen rescue chopper! To cap it off, Zulius runs in from offscreen, looking exactly as he does in the present, and jumps on with nobody batting an eye!
    Horse: Wait, is that... Zulius?! Wha... WHAT?!
    • The Mood Whiplash is further accentuated with the a new reprise of "Making Friendships—BOATS!" It goes from one of the saddest moments in the series to one of the most hilarious.
      Durpleton and Ched: HERD!
      For every orphan child who's abandoned
      We find new family units to land in
      Helicopter mother above us
      We're your brand-new sons
      And you'll love us!
  • While in Ched's backstory, Horse thinks the Duchess can see her, until the latter verbally confirms she can't.
    Horse: Wait, can she see me..?
  • The faces each member of the herd makes while Horse is inside their minds.
  • Nobody in the herd wants Horse going in their brains. Except Zulius who practically throws himself at Horse so he can share his backstory, only to be ignored each time. When his last attempt is rejected and everyone leaves, he stays frozen in position facing away from the camera, and then decides to just say what it is. Even as the camera smashes to black.
    Zulius: Okay, I'll tell you! I have a traumatic backstory. Picture it! (Smash to Black) Me, younger, basically this. There was an alley... (gasps) ... and a top hat. PEARLS FOR DAYS! (cut to credits)

     "The Ballad of Becky Apples" 
  • In the Cold Open, Rider asks a recently wounded solider to describe the Nowhere King's castle. The solider proceeds to describe the horrifying atmosphere of the place, speaking of the smell of death and the screams of forgotten souls, before Rider cuts her off and explains she wants actual details, not a poetic description.
  • After seeing Becky Apples effortlessly tear minotaur after minotaur apart, Rider is reasonably freaked out and glad to be rid of her.
    Waterbaby: Ain't that your horse?
    Rider: That is no one's horse...
  • Comfortable Doug watches the birdtaur’s transformation into a monster, unsure if it is a beautiful birth or something he should stop. He is still not sure after it is done.
    • On the topic of the birdtaur’s transformation, he becomes a hideous, nightmare fuel inducing beast… that still wears a Durpleton t-shirt and spouts YouTuber catchphrases (Ya Boy).
  • The General realizing that Waterbaby is a Centaur is so deadpan that it’s amusing.

     "The Hootenanny" 

     "The Last Lullaby" 
  • After Horse's sacrifice, Ched proceeds to fly around the frozen Nowhere King and confess some of his slights against her. Like eating her hair while she slept, making her think she was balding. With a fork. Twirling it like spaghetti. Because he’s not a savage.
  • Rider's casual and upbeat way she talks about lopping up the minotaurs and throwing the remains in "the burn pit."
    • "Also, we need a burn pit."
    • The herd's solution to dealing with the frozen Minotaurs in a way they don't deem a war crime: use the moletaurs ability to dig holes between dimensions in order to toss the Minotaurs from the human world into their underground prison in Centaurworld. All sung to "Making Friendships—HOLES!"
      Rider: So I can't lop off this guys head?
      You'll just bury him alive instead?
      Herd: YUP!
      We dig, dig, dig to bury the bad guys
      And our conscience will be less sad, guys!
    • Later, once the Nowhere King regains mobility, Rider chides the herd for not letting her do "war crimes".
  • Stabby explaining that friendly fire was common among the Minotaurs, and demonstrating by offhandedly stabbing one while he's talking.
    Stabby: (with a Thousand-Yard Stare) I have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience... (like a toddler) Cup-cup, dada?
  • Stabby saves Rider with the very knife she used to stab him... and he immediately makes it weird by starting a musical number about it and attempting to gift the knife back. Rider is incredibly confused and disturbed by this, and insists he can keep the knife.
  • Trapped within the Nowhere King’s mind and having finished a very emotional song, Horse decides to let out a very long fart out of spite towards her animated tail. It must be seen to be believed.
    Elk: Are you going to fart again?
    Horse: Oh, uh... that wan'me.
    Elk: Oh. Mayhap it was me...
  • Following the Elk's tragic memory of being freed from the dungeon (only for his reunion with the woman he loved to be cut short), we quickly cut to a not-so-tragic memory. One where the Elk's past self is eating a moldy sandwich with satisfaction. Even the Elk's present self remembers it as though it were the kind of all foods.
    • Later, it's implied that off-screen, Horse had to sit through at least seven different food memories, which she's quickly grown tired of. By the time they get to the memory of the wedding, it's of the time the Elk snuck a taste of the cake, which his present self gushes over being "[his] favorite part".
  • Apparently, keeping the only means of connecting two worlds open doesn't mean squat if the Elk's memories of himself as the Elktaur are anything to go by, since people just came to him to complain like some overworked retail/postal/fast food employee.
    Elktaur (after talking to a casually racist merchant): Yeah, okay. Alright. Safe travels, sir. [pushes him through the rift with a deadpan look]
  • Rider has to get on top of Wammawink, and they're both very awkward about where she actually needs to put her hands.
  • Glendale pulls out an arrow made of marshmallows to assist Rider. When she fires it, it explodes in a blast that leaves both of them stupified.
    Glendale: …Jeepers, me! I didn't know it was gonna do that! I was just worried it was gonna catch your hair on fire or somethin'! No me gusta the smell of burning pelo. (casually puts out a small flame on Rider's hair with her fingers)
  • After Gebbery gets sucked into Glendale's Portal Tummy, he finally finds his jacket... and discovers that the warmth it gives him sets him on fire.
    • Gebbery then frantically runs across the battlefield trying to put himself out, knocking into/setting fire to several minotaurs along the way. When he stops, drops and rolls, a group of minotaurs surround and start kicking him. Wammawink doesn't seem all that upset.
      Wammawink: Nooooo, Gebbery....
    • This becomes a Brick Joke in which he publishes an autobiography about said moment.
  • Comfortable Doug shows up on the battlefield and informs Wammawink and Rider that because war is never comfortable, he doesn't go by "Comfortable Doug" there. Cue him whipping out a cowboy hat, proclaiming himself as "Flat Dallas" and singing a country song that's on the same level as his "I Am" Song from "The Rift: Part 1" while leading the tiny versions of the main cast into battle.
    • He doesn't just lead them, he hovers off into the sunset using the tiny versions as propellers as they cling to his nipples. Yeah.
    • After Comfortable Doug sings the song "Legend of Flat Dallas", as Rider looks on in concern, Wammawink happily remarks that she's glad everything regarding the miniature versions of themselves the group has shot out in droves over the course of the series actually received actual narrative payoff, instead of being an example of What Happened to the Mouse?.
      Wammawink: So that's where all the tiny versions go. Oh! I'm so glad we tied up that story arc.
  • Near the end of The Nowhere King's incredibly tragic and horrifying backstory, there's the part where the Mysterious Woman locks him in the Void Between the Worlds. While it's just as tragic as the rest of the story, this exchange adds some levity to it:
    The Mysterious Woman: You locked him away in the dungeons! Did you think it would have no effect?!
    General: (casually) Well, yeah, I guess. But... but look at him.
    The Nowhere King: What?
    General: He's gross!
    The Nowhere King: No?!
  • A meta example; the two voice actors they got to voice aspects of the same character are both named Brian.
