"Who’s a Happy Boy? Who’s a Happy Boy?"

As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.

General

  • While they do serve as terrifying most of the time, some of the lines of the Delightful Children from Down the Lane are pretty damn funny.
    • For example: "Hello, Kids Next Door. Perhaps you would like to try kicking our posteriors now?"
    • "A heater? WHO PUTS A HEATER IN AN ICE CREAM FACTORY?!"
    • When Billy in the crossover episode asks to use their new device as a bathroom, they allow him...before realizing just what he's about to do. Including the flushing. "NO! NOT THAT!"
    • Then there's their reverse counterparts, the Little Traitor Dudes for Children's Defense from the Alternate Universe in "Operation: P.O.O.L." and their Totally Radical dialogue.
  • Father is without a doubt one of the Kids Next Door's most dangerous foes. With his fire powers, he's a Person of Mass Destruction...unless he goes off around something that reacts to intense heat, like popcorn (M.U.N.C.H.I.E.S.) or ice (T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G.) or cake frosting (C.A.K.E.D.-F.I.V.E.). Then, Hilarity Ensues.

Season 1

  • "Operation: T.U.R.N.I.P." gives us the first in a long line of gags where H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P. gets abruptly crushed before it can do anything, with a long sequence of it going into attack mode followed by maybe three frames' worth of animation of it getting instantly squashed flat by a turnip root.
    Numbuh 3 (in a modulated voice): Prepaaaaare foooooooor— *wham*
  • As Mr. Boss is about to escape:
    Mr. Boss: So long, sucker! I hope your friend likes Pluto! (the entire ship crashes on top of him)
  • "Operation: L.I.C.E.":
    • Right before Numbuh 5 is about to destroy the Queen Lice, Numbuh 2 interrupts them and says she needs to deliver a Pre-Mortem One-Liner:
      Numbuh Two: STOP!!! You've gotta say something cool first! Like "Say cheese, punk!" or "Cheese to meet you!" Wait, wait, wait! How about this one? (Numbuh 5 presses the button as the Queen Lice is distracted) Cheese—(Cut to a scene of the Treehouse and a giant melted cheese explosion)
      • Bonus points for Five and the Queen Lice giving each other a "what the heck is wrong with this guy?" look right before Five pushes the button, and Two being covered in baby lice.
  • Mr. B ranting about how he's not a baby near the end of "Operation: C.A.B.L.E.-T.V." is pretty funny in of itself.
    Mr. B: I am not a baby! I have a mortgage, I-I pay taxes, I have THREE EX-WIVES!! Do babies have homes in Europe? I think not!
  • This bit from "Operation: P.I.A.N.O.", after Numbuh Four botches the mission to destroy the Type-P torture device (a piano that forces kids to play the same song over and over):
    Numbuh One: Okay, Kids Next Door. Simple question. What did we learn today?
    Numbuh Two: Do not deviate from plans.
    Numbuh Five: Teamwork is the key to mission success.
    Numbuh Three: Operational procedures are important.
    Numbuh Four: (in a wheelchair and covered in bandages) Pianos...are heavy.
    Numbuh One: Oh, close enough.
    • The KND manage to destroy all the pianos before Numbuh Four screwed it up...except for the very piano that was meant for him (with "For Wallabee, Love Mom" written on it).
  • "Operation: Q.U.I.E.T.":
    • Numbuh Five tells everyone not to do anything that will wake up Numbuh One, because he needs a good night's sleep for the award ceremony taking place the next day. They all silently agree, then walk quietly over to the sofa, then Numbuh Two turns on the TV...
      Announcer: MONSTER TRUCK RALLY! DO YOU LIKE MONSTER TRUCKS? LOUD MONSTER TRUCKS? THE LOUDEST MONSTER TRUCKS THIS SIDE OF LOUDSVILLE!
    • Made even funnier by the fact that Numbuh Two loses the remote the second the TV comes on.
    • Made even funnier by the fact that when the Monster Truck Rally show comes on, Numbuhs Two, Three, and Four start running around in a panic trying to find the remote, and Numbuh Five just pushes the off switch at the bottom of the TV.
      Numbuh Five: Be quiet!
    • "INCORRECT CODE! INCORRECT CODE! INCORRECT CODE! INCORRECT CODE! INCORRECT CODE! INCORRECT CODE!"
      • Numbuh Two's attempts to guess the password include "numbuh one", "boss", and "nigel is kewl".
    • Numbuh One spends the whole night heavily sleeping through the television playing unexpectedly loud, the security system blaring after a wrong code input, the interferences from several villains and Lizzie, and the rest of the Sector's attempts to keep it all as quiet as possible. Even while sleepwalking, he doesn't even lift an eye. What's the one thing that manages to get him awake? Numbuh Five briefly shouting how close they were. Cue her letting out a scream of frustration in response.
    • In the episode's final shot, all the characters involved are sleeping together in a big pile...including the villains! And this is during Numbuh One talking about how he built his security system to protect the treehouse from intruders.
      Numbuh Five: Ahhh, shaddup! [collapses]

Season 2

  • "Operation: C.A.T.S."
  • In "Operation: D.A.T.E." Lizzie appears as Numbuh One is confronting the Delightful Children:
    Lizzie: Nigel Uno, I'd like a word with you!
    Delightful Children: What is the meaning of th—
    Lizzie: SHUT UP!
  • "Operation: S.U.P.P.O.R.T." in its entirety.
    Numbuh Two: What's a bra?
    Numbuh One: (suspiciously) And what's she "training" for?
    Numbuh 1: So. Do you feel anything?
    Numbuh 2: Yeah...stupid.
    Numbuh 1: I don't know. I feel kind of powerful.
    • Cree's priceless reaction to Numbuh 1 wearing one of her bras and then telling to her face that he can "put it to better use".
      • Also the fact that Cree proceeds to beat the crap out of him, while almost completely ignoring Numbuh 2.
    • Numbuh 5 gives a hilarious confused/irritated look to 1 and 2 when Cree tells her that they were trying on her bras.
  • In "Operation T.A.P.I.O.C.A", Numbuh Two is ambushed by the Senior Citizen Squad (the leader of whom is his grandmother), when their aging cream starts to wear off and they retreat before the others arrive. Numbuh Two tells the others what happened, they don't believe him, thinking he's making up stories. The next day...
    Numbuh 2: You guys gotta believe me! I was attacked by that gang of superpowered teenagers last night! Honest! I swear, I was!
    Numbuh 4: Oh, yeah? If you want us to believe you, you're gonna have to give us proof!
    (suddenly, the Senior Citizen Squad storms in, breaking the door down)
    SCS Leader: Teenagers, ATTACK!
    Numbuh 4: (meekly) You know what? I believe you...
  • Operation: F.A.S.T.F.O.O.D." with the great white shark minivan arguing like any normal dysfunctional family on a trip to a fast-food restaurant.
    Gil: He can eat anywhere for his birthday. The Mediterranean, Australia, but no, he picks this dump!!!
    Gil's wife: Gil! Let the kid have his stupid birthday wish!
    • As they're driving home:
    Gil: Oh, great! A red light! Doesn't anybody around here realize I have to keep moving?!*
    • They even treat Sector V's rescue attempt on Numbuh 3 (the shark kid's meal) as a hinderance.
    Gil: Oh, "Happy Birthday", Bruce! Now we're being attacked!
    Bruce: Waaaa!
  • In "Operation K.I.S.S.", Cree's reaction to finding out she had made out with Numbuh Two was hilarious.
    Numbuh Two: (as Cree makes constant spitting noises) Aww come on, it wasn't that bad was it?
  • "Operation: F.U.G.I.T.I.V.E."
    Numbuh 86: Of all the stupid things in the stupid world of stupid people acting stupid, you boys are the stupidliest! It's like you're trying to win a stupid contest but you're too stupid to take a stupidity test!!

    Numbuh 362: You IDIOT! I was this close to getting the Delightful Children's plans! And then you attack me from out of nowhere! Whose side are you on anyway? I'm ashamed to call you a girl! I never thought a girl could be so stupid! You are by far the most idiotic person I have ever, ever worked with!
    • What's even funnier is that Numbuh 86 finally gets her comeuppance for antagonizing Sector V (mainly the boys) for the duration of the episode.
      • And right before the grand chewing out, Chad just silently slinks away. He's not gonna help her out of this mess.
    • Number 86 freaking out during the incident with the toenail collection.
    • And even before she gets covered in them and completely loses it, we get this gem:
      Numbuh 86: (voice wavering) Whu-what's that?
      Delightful Children: It's...our toenail collection.
      Numbuh 86: Toenails? (gags, sputters, otherwise flips out) That's disgusting!
      Delightful Children: It is not! It's more like...a hobby. (laugh evilly as they close in on Numbuh 86)
    • When Numbuh 5 and Numbuh 3 walk in they see Numbuh 86 in a Troubled Fetal Position covered in toenails and the Delightfuls picking them up off the floor.
      Delightful Children: Don't just stand there! Help us pick up our toenail collection.
    • As Numbuh 86 goes on a tirade, Numbuh Four whispers to Numbuh Two: "Man, who put a bee in her undies?" Near the end of the episode...
      Numbuh Three: Man, who put a bee in her undies?
      Numbuh Four: (looks at Numbuh Three with shock)
    • And then there's Numbuh Four going back for the dandelion.
  • The snag in Cree's Evil Plan:
    Cree: But before we could even get to the Moonbase, the stupid pilots got into an argument about trading cards and accidentally hit the Blow-Up-The-Engines button. Ugh! Who else but a bunch of stupid kids would put a Blow-Up-The-Engines button on a spaceship?!
  • All of Numbuh 3's jokes regarding Numbuh 1's butt in Operation B.R.I.E.F.
  • "Operation: B.E.A.C.H."
    Numbuh Three: Well, how about you Numbuh Four? Do you wanna be my Prince Charming?
    Numbuh Four: And miss being buried in the sand? Fat chance!
    • Numbuh Four's repeated reasoning for why he's saving Numbuh Three from having to marry King Sandy: "She just owes me a quarter!"
    • And then when he saves Numbuh 3 and they're running out, the sand castle crumbling around them...
      Numbuh 5: (tied up with Numbuh 2) HELOOOOO! AREN'T YOU FORGETTING SOMETHING!?!?
    • King Sandy's Knights using a catapult to "conquer" Numbuh Three's castle (a tiny sand castle).
  • During "Operation: E.N.D.", a decommissioned Numbuh 3 is being unhelpful even as the base is floating into the sun.
    Numbuh 1: Come on, team. Let's get up to the observation deck.
    Numbuh 3: Why should we?
    Numbuh 1: Because the sun is very hot. And you don't want to hit it!
  • Operation S.H.A.V.E., full stop. Kids and adults getting possessed by sentient mustaches that make them gain a Southern accent and only caring about said mustaches. It culminates in penguins getting the mustaches.
  • Mr. Warburton admitted he only created Operation O.O.M.P.P.A.H. to recreate the dueling banjos scene from Deliverance...with tubas. Er, sousaphones.

Season 3

  • "Operation F.U.T.U.R.E."'s credits feature Madame Margaret destroying her Girlifyer Ray...synchronized to the ending theme song.
  • "Operation: A.F.L.O.A.T."
    Mr. Boss: You stupid kids, you can't hide in my garage! Wait a minute... I don't have a garage! (the garage transforms, revealing a KND vehicle)
    • The villains once again tried to ditch Toiletnator by telling him the barbecue was held in Antarctica, but as usual it didn't work.
    • Numbuh Four hallucinating that Numbuh Three's Rainbow Monkey is a cheeseburger and desperately trying to reach it when she gets eaten by the great white asparagus.
      Numbuh Five: (horrified) Numbuh Three!
      Numbuh Four: (just as horrified) The cheeseburger!
      Numbuh Five: Numbuh Four, that thing just ate Numbuh Three!
      Numbuh Four: But it didn't get the cheeseburger!
    • Numbuh Three's last words just before she gets eaten.
      Numbuh Three: Nobody's eating my Rainbow Monkey! You can just go eat a —
      Numbuh One: Great white asparagus!
      Numbuh Three: Well, that wasn't what I was thinking...
  • Numbuh Four's abysmal spelling in "Operation: R.O.B.B.E.R.S.":
    Numbuh Five: I'm telling you — the word "chicken" does not have a "2" in it.
    Numbuh Four: Well it does now!
    • Especially since it's what gets the Delightful Children in trouble when his homework ends being the first one the teacher sees.
  • When Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 2 have to leave class for a mission in "Operation: F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N.", they leave behind dummies in their likeness made of fruit. Numbuh 3 just leaves behind a balloon with the word "ME" written on it.
    • While underground Sector V come across a table loaded with food. Numbuh Five tells Numbuh One not to touch anything and he passes the message on to the other operatives.
      Numbuh One: Numbuh Five says 'Don't touch anything.'
      Numbuh Four: Numbuh One says 'Don't punch a thing.'
      Numbuh Three: Numbuh Four says 'Try the onion rings.'
      Numbuh Two: (already holding a plate of food) Well, you don't have to tell me twice!
  • "Operation: B.U.T.T."
    • The reveal that Numbuh 1 has a huge butt and all the puns everybody makes at his expense.
      Numbuh 5: (reads mysterious note) "Leave your team behind, or we'll put your behind in the school yearbook?"
      Numbuh 4: What does that mean?
      Numbuh 5: I have no ide— (eyes widen in shock upon seeing the enclosed photo) Ah— Oh, no. Is that Nigel's hiney?!
      Numbuh 2: Wow. That is one big butt!
      Numbuh 4: Oh, 'lemme see! (snags photo) Wow-ho-ho-ho-ho! Wah-ha-hoo— WOW! WOWIE!!!
      Numbuh 3: Where did they get a camera big enough to capture all that tushie?! (She and Numbuh 4 burst out laughing)
      Numbuh 5: Come on, guys! This isn't funny! We've got to do something!
      Numbuh 2: Yeah! We've got to get to the "bottom" of this!
      (Numbuh 5 sighs, while Numbuhs 2, 3 and 4 laugh harder)
      Numbuh 5: Now, come on, guys!
      Numbuh 3: (between convulsions of laughter) That is not gonna fit in the yearbook!
      Numbuh 2: Unless they put a big section in the "rear!"
      (They crumble into even more laughter)
      Numbuh 5: OK, OK, now come on, guys!
      Numbuh 2: If I were Numbuh 1, I'd just turn the other "cheek!"
      (Numbuh 5 scowls at everyone before eventually succumbing to the jokes herself and exploding in hysterics)
  • "Operation: T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G."
    • When Father finds the safe containing the Kids Next Door code module at the Arctic training base:
      Henchman: I think it's locked!
      Father: Really? Well, guess we'll just have to pack up and go...(bursts into flames) OF COURSE IT'S LOCKED!!! (ice above him melts) Just GO! (Henchman cries and runs off) ...And you can forget about a Christmas bonus, pal!
    • "Hey, Fireface! Looking for this Code Module thingy?"
      • Not to mention that Father finds out it's an autograph book, and is impressed on it having Numbuh 362's autograph.
        Father: Finally, I've possessed the code mod... wait a second, this is a AUTOGRAPH BOOK! Ooh, signed by Numbuh 362, now that's rare.
    • Every time Father bursts into flames, the ice above him melts and splashes him. Helps to turn that power of his into Nightmare Retardant.
    • Two of Father's henchmen threaten to put Tommy, Lee and Sonia into a broom closet. Cue Sonia freaking out and Tommy and Lee shivering in fear as she beats the two guards into submission.
      Sonia: What? I don't like the dark!
  • While the way the scene is played is a bit disturbing, Numbuh One's ramblings about how the adults are secretly manipulating children in "Operation: A.R.C.H.I.V.E." is also pretty hysterical, especially when he claims that the cafeteria food is made of Rainbow Monkeys. Especially after Numbuhs 1 and 2 leave the room.
    Teacher: They know...
  • "Operation: P.I.N.K.E.Y.E." has Hoagie absolutely disgusted to discover that the ingredient for Nurse Claiborne's crumble desserts is the eye crust from the pink-eye patients she's supposed to have been looking after. He can't even let her finish her monologue on how "brilliant" her plan is without interrupting to reiterate how disgusting, revolting, and wrong he finds the whole thing.
    Numbuh 2: I'm sorry, but can we go back to HOW SERIOUSLY DISGUSTING THIS IS?! I mean, I'm lucky I didn't just have lunch! (shudders)
    • This nauseating revelation doesn't stop him from continuing to eat them at the end of the episode.
    • Even better, The Stinger has Numbuh 3 wonder what the filling was made of: implicitly it's mucus.
    • The whole episode has fun playing with the Noir voiceover, such as Hoagie's description of Fanny when she walks in.
    Numbuh 2: Her voice was like a thousand violins...
    Numbuh 86: HOOOAGIIIIEEE GILLIGAAAAAAANN!
    Numbuh 2: (chokes on his crumble) ...being played by a monkey.
  • In Operation "C.A.K.E.D.-T.H.R.E.E.", Numbuh One's room is filled with eggs which all hatch by morning. Everyone comes in to see what's going on.
    Numbuh Three: Chickies! (scoops up several of the chicks) Enough for everyone to cuddle and snuggle and love!
    Numbuh Four: Do you think these would make decent chicken fingers?
    (Numbuh Three gives him a Death Glare)
    • Then all the chicks start chirping very loudly and urgently.
      Numbuh Three: Oh, look. The chickies have to go to the potty.
      Numbuh One: (while covered in chicks) Aaaargh!
    • Later on, Numbuh One and Numbuh Three have this exchange:
      Numbuh Three: After their bathroom break, the chickies want their mommy to read them a story.
      Numbuh One: I am not their mommy!
      Chicks: (chirping loudly)
      Numbuh One: (with gritted teeth) And I am only reading them one story. (Reading quickly) Once upon a time there was a little red riding hood, the wolf ate her. The end.
    • For some Black Comedy, Numbuh 1 just told the original telling of "Little Red Riding Hood", albeit abridged.
  • "Operation: H.U.G.S."
    • How do you stop a giant rampaging Rainbow Monkey? By giving it the "Rainbow Monkey Goodbye Hug". So, who has to deliver this hug? Numbuh 4.
    • Immediately afterwards:
      Numbuh 4: Well! That takes care of that!
      (Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 2 snicker; having witnessed the entire scene)
      Numbuh 2: (cooing) Awww...Big bad Numbuh 4 gave the monkey a hug!
      Numbuh 1: Ooh! Can I have a "huggie-wuggie" too, Numbuh 4?!
      (they roll on the floor with laughter)
      Numbuh 4: Hey! That was the ONLY way to get rid of that stupid monkey!
      Numbuh 3: (offscreen) Hey!
      Numbuh 4: Huh? (looks down and spots Numbuh 3, who had just returned from the Rainbow Monkey Fair)
      Numbuh 3: You didn't just call a giant Rainbow Monkey "stupid", did you?
      (The giant Rainbow Monkey turns around and lunges angrily at Numbuh 4)
      Numbuh 4: How do I get myself into these messes?!
  • The ending of "Operation: J.E.W.E.L.S.", where it turns out the special occasion Numbuh Five was saving her blurpleberry candy for was Numbuh One's birthday. Numbuh One complains about the candy being blurpleberry, which pisses off Numbuh Five and incites her to beat up Numbuh One.
  • "Operation T.R.I.C.K.Y.": Numbuh 4 claims to not like Halloween because it's filled with "stupid babies who love to dress up like girly butterflies and begging themselves for candy". Take three guesses as to who's behind Numbuh 4 dressed up like a butterfly as he says this.
  • "Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S.":
    • The normally unflappable and dignified soopreme leader Numbuh 362 freaks out when she realizes Tommy is naked and does a poor job hiding her revulsion and embarrassment.
    Numbuh 362: Bwuuaaaaaauuugh! Uhh... ahem... uh... Numbuh T! I, uh, I-I... need to attend to the troops! Carry on!
    (She runs away with her eyes closed)
    • Numbuh 86 gets turned into a female dog (a literal bitch). Numbuh 44b remarks "Well, that figures." Showrunner Tom Warburton was astonished they were able to slip that past the censors.
    • We get to see the Delightful Children turned into sheep. Sheep that look like the one in Sheep in the Big City, no less! (Mo Willem, one of the main storyboard artists for KND, created the show).
    • Father telling the Delightful Children to clean up his animal filled mansion because it smells like a "Poo Museum"
  • In Operation: U.N.C.O.O.L., Numbuhs 2, 5, and 42 escape from zombified nerds while trying to find Numbuh 78. Numbuh 5 gets pretty mad when discovering that the Numbuh 78 they meant isn't the operative Numbuh 78, but a Yipper trading card. The look on her face is priceless, as is this exchange:
    Numbuh 5: Numbuh 78 is one of your STUPID TRADING CARDS?!
    Numbuh 2: Excuse me? This card adds +8 to your entire squadron!
    Numbuh 5: I'm about to add +8 to my foot, and KICK BOTH YOUR BUTTS! Now, I don't know about you and Make-up Boy, but Numbuh 5 is getting outta this Night of the Living Uncool!
  • "Operation S.P.R.O.U.T.": The extraction team is just a few seconds too late in escaping Numbuh 4's nasal cavity before the shrinkification effect wears off. The result is Numbuh 4's nostril stretching to around eleventy-billion times its normal size and then violently sneezing out the truck-sized I.T.S.Y.-B.I.T.S.Y. (and poor Numbuh 5, who was still outside the vehicle at the time). It's hilariously disgusting and disgustingly hilarious.

Season 4

  • From "Operation: R.A.B.B.I.T.":
    Numbuh Two: (upon seeing the desolate First Grade hallway) Man, those school budget cuts are murder.
    • At the end, when returning the First Graders' pet rabbit restores them...
      Numbuh Two: But man, I'm so hungry, it's not even bunny! (Starts to laugh until Numbuh Five smacks him with her hat for making that joke)
      Numbuh Five: Nuh-Uh! You did not just say that! That is the lamest line Numbuh Five has heard from you yet! (continues ranting as she chases him)
  • "Operation: F.L.U.S.H."
    • When complaining about how dumb the Toiletnator is, Mr. Boss brings up that the Toiletnator once let Numbuh One in their lair just because he wore a shirt saying "I am not Numbuh One".
      Toiletnator: I didn't expect an article of clothing to lie!
    • When the Toiletnator mistakes his fellow villains for Sector V in disguise, he offends Mr. Boss by pointing out his baldness and the Crazy Old Cat Lady by calling her "portly".
    • At the end of the episode, after the Toiletnator has unknowingly incapacitated his fellow villains and is about to be pummeled by the real Kids Next Door, he gets upset not because of how badly he screwed up, but because he forgot the coffee Mr. Boss told him to get!
    • During the end credits, we see Sector V's Treehouse shake violently while the Toiletnator is heard screaming in pain from the beatings he's receiving from Sector V, culminating with the villain falling out of a sewer pipe.
  • "Operation: C.L.U.E.S." has Hoagie solving the mystery of who stabbed Kuki's Posh Party Rainbow Monkey during a dinner between the Gilligans and Sanbans. When it comes time for the dramatic reconstruction of the crime, which Kuki's sister Mushi committed, the episode suddenly switches to live-action, where a huge black man wearing a shirt that says "MUSHI" and a pair of Girlish Pigtails does some wonderfully hammy acting as he hugs the Posh Party Rainbow Monkey and tries to hide it. The changing style coupled with the sheer ridiculousness of this giant guy playing a little girl makes it a wonderful Big-Lipped Alligator Moment.
    • There's also Mr. Sanban's furious reactions to Kuki and Mushi "fighting" over the Posh Party Rainbow Monkey...except they're not fighting at all, but being extremely kind and agreeable about it.
    • This hilarious exchange between Hoagie and Tommy:
      Hoagie: You're hiding something. Spill it!
      (Tommy nervously takes out an empty soda can and a wrapper from his pocket)
      Hoagie: Hey...this was my candy and soda, you rotten stinker! You stole this from my room!
      Tommy: I-I'm sorry, Hoagie.
      (Hoagie grabs Tommy by his cape)
      Hoagie: Why'd ya do it, Tommy?
      Tommy: I...I was...thirsty- no-no-no-no-no! I was...hungry...
      Hoagie: That fish is three days old and I ain't buying it!
      Kani: Now, look here boy-
      Hoagie: SIT DOWN! (Kani sits down reluctantly) Sing, Tommy!
      Tommy: I was thirsty-(gets slapped)-I mean hungry-(gets slapped again)-I mean thirsty-(slap)-Imeanhungry-(slap)-thungry-(slap)-hirsty-(slap)
      Hoagie: I want the truth!
      Tommy: I WAS HUNGRY AND THIRSTY!!!
      (everyone gasps in shock)
    • Even better as it's a reference to a scene from Chinatown of all things.
    • After C.L.U.E.S., Numbuh 2's grandma Lydia is going through the fridge, looking for something to eat while grumbling; "What am I craving? A man with a job. Haha, I crack myself up...!"
  • Towards the end of "Operation M.A.C.A.R.R.O.N.I." Numbuh Three witnesses Numbuh Thirteen accidentally destroy the Rainbow Monkey Lisa and unleashes a huge primal scream which can even be heard from outside the museum.
    Mr Boss: (fleeing past his men) Quick! Run like little girls!
    • Immediately after Mr. Boss and his henchmen flees the building:
      Numbuh One (pokes head around door) Uh, Numbuh Three...are you okay?
  • In Operation S.A.T.U.R.N, the tragic backstory of the Villain of the Week Ramon-4 was that he's actually the identity of "Rainbow Monkey 4ever", a Rainbow Monkey that was...developed by the American government of all things in some outlandish Cold War plot to apparently outdo the Soviet Union’s attempt to also make the perfect Rainbow Monkey. His Sincerity Mode at describing the American government having an Arms Race with the Soviets over Rainbow Monkeys and their coverup akin to hiding horrible state secrets ensures that his otherwise tearjerker story has some levity to it due to the sheer absurdity of it.
    • After Numbuh Three befriends Ramon-4, all the other Rainbow Monkeys go from attacking Sector V’s ship to dancing around it singing their theme song, much to Numbuh Four’s dismay.
    Numbuh Four: As if trying to kill us wasn’t bad enough, now they’re singing their cruddy song!
  • "Operation C.A.K.E.D.-F.O.U.R."
    • Nick delivers a casual roast on Wally after The Kid flirts with Kuki.
      Nick: Wallabee Beatles, stranded on an island called "Heartbreak". A loser in tubing, and a loser in love.
  • One of Father's fireballs ricochets off Numbuh Two's shields and back to him, cutting him off mid-evil-laughter.
    Father: HA HA HA HA — uh oh.. (Fireballs blast Father into the giant cake bowl) Why, you miserable little- What? (Sees the bowl cracking up) Well, that can't be good.
  • Sweet merciful Numbuh Zero, "Operation: S.I.T.T.E.R.". Numbuh Two tries to seduce Cree.
    • Made even funnier when you remember that as cheesy as all the bad French he uses sounds to us, it must have been even worse for Cree as she herself is half-French.
      Cree: (blankly stares, then facepalm) This is so not worth 8 bucks an hour.
    • His response after Cree throws him and Tommy across the room.
      Numbuh Two: (purrs) Kitty's got claws.
    • Also,
      Tommy: I don't wanna go to bed yet! You can't make me!
      Cree: Oh, I applaud your braver— (clapping activates disco ball) THAT'S IT!
  • "Operation: M.A.T.A.D.O.R.":
    • Soccer Mom, the Villain of the Week, sticks Numbuh One in the ground and paints his head to look like a soccer ball. At the end of the episode, Numbuh Four says, "Hey, somebody left a soccer ball!" and runs to kick the "ball" while pretending to be a sports commentator. The last thing heard before the credits roll is Numbuh One yelling in pain.
      Numbuh 1: I don't know what's worse: getting kicked in the face, or the humiliation.
    • The heartwarming credits scene of Numbuh Four and his dad playing together quickly turns hilarious when they start running from their lives from a horde of rampaging bullies.
      Ernie: IT'S WEDGIE TIME, TWERP!
  • The Empire Strikes Back parody in "Operation: S.N.O.W.I.N.G.". Especially because A) 4th grade President (of Gallagher Elementry) Jimmy plays the part of Darth Vader, and B) they actually find Luke Skywalker.
  • In the flashback beginning of Operation: M.A.U.R.I.C.E., Numbuh 9, the titular Maurice, is making a passionate vow to find the Teenz' source of Chicken Pox when his mother comes in with cookies for him and the Kids Next Door.
    Numbuh 9: Mooom! I'm in the middle of a life-defining speech here!
    • Later he gets annoyed when she tells him to take out the trash.
      Maurice: You're not the boss of me.
      Maurice's mom: (from inside the house) What did you say?
      Maurice: (meekly) Nothing.
  • In "Operation: L.O.V.E.", which musical fans will recognize as a spoof of West Side Story. Let's count the ways:
    • '50s' style costumes (including Numbuh One wearing tacky 3D glasses).
    • The sheer crackiness of the Delightful Children playing Tony to Numbuh Three's Maria (followed by Numbuh Four's reaction). Whats better is that the Delightful Children, true to form, are playing Tony as a unit, so they share a single costume, and even a kissing scene, which Numbuh Four interrupts.
      Numbuh Three: I know I'm safe when I look into your, uh, ten eyes?
    • The kids dodging lasers by dancing to the tune of "America".
    • Numbuh Four singing, in the most deadpan tone ever, a sugary-sweet love song with Numbuh Three and then quitting after a couple of lines.
    • Numbuh Two FINALLY getting a funny pun down, which not only wasn't pointed out or made anyone groan, but would probably only make sense to those that watched West Side Story to get the reference: he rips his jacket off to reveal a jetpack and says "When you're a jet, you're a jet."
    • While all the explosions are going off, the audience is still watching, completely unaware that it's no longer a play. Cue this lampshading line from Numbuh Two's grandmother:
      Numbuh Two's grandmother: I can do without all the fancy-schmancy special effects. What's wrong with just a simple love story?
    • The fact that, in spite of all the music numbers, costumes, and fact they were all on a stage, Numbuh 4 didn’t realize it was a play until he’s literally told so.
  • "Operation: F.E.R.A.L."
    • Numbuh One's goofy face after the Delightful Children knock him out with a Frying Pan of Doom.
    • Sector V screaming like little girls and doing a group Security Cling after the feral Numbuh One suddenly lunges at them, and then their simultaneous incredulous reaction to realizing that Numbuh One has gone insane and is acting like a wild Rainbow Monkey.
      Numbuh Two: Is that...
      Numbuhs Two, Three, Four, and Five: ...Numbuh One?
    • When Numbuh 86 reveals that the code they've been looking for in the jungles is part of a contest to get a free keychain, Numbuh One is so pissed that he immediately turns back to normal so he can yell at her for wasting resources and putting his team in danger.
      Numbuh One: A KEYCHAAAAIIIINNN?! You mean to tell me that I risked my life, endangered my team, and spent valuable Kids Next Door resources so you could win a stupid keychain?!
    • Before that, Lizzie was brought in to try and get One back to normal. It doesn’t and he kisses her wildly. She’s disgusted at first but rolls with it realizing he’s being that affectionate to her. Fittingly, she’s disappointed after his above rant.
    • At the end of the episode, Numbuh One unleashes a horde of wild Rainbow Monkeys on the Delightful Children as revenge and walks away cheerfully whistling as they scream in terror.

Season 5

  • "Operation: N.A.U.G.H.T.Y.": The secret weapon the elves used to get Numbuh Three to surrender her presents: The Twelve Days of Christmas Attack, a move that has Numbuh 3 get crushed repeatedly by the objects mentioned in the very Christmas carol the attack is named after.
  • In the credits after D.I.A.P.E.R, Numbuh Five tells the others where babies come from, and we're privy to their reactions:
    Numbuh One: (completely and utterly speechless, mouth hanging open)
    Numbuh Two: (same reaction, until he starts gagging, falling out of his chair in the process)
    Numbuh Three: (running in circles, hands over her ears) Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew!
    Numbuh Four: (same as 1 + 2, except his face/hair have been blasted backward)
    Numbuh Five: (nodding in seriousness)
    Numbuh One: ...wait a second! That's preposterous! Babies don't come from New Jersey! They come from Philadelphia.
    • His earlier theory? "They come from baby eggs." Technically, he's not wrong...
  • The villain in "Operation: B.U.L.L.I.E.S.", Jerry Rassic, has a scrunched-up face, needs a cane to walk, and frequently grunts in discomfort as he hobbles around his island. Why? Because years ago, Numbuh 4 gave him a permanent wedgie. Which, in this universe, are actually permanent. It'd be bleak and disturbing if it weren't so silly.
  • Operation V.I.R.U.S:
    • The entire episode has the members of Sector V, sans Numbuh 5, convinced the teens are planning something sinister called "P.R.O.M.", Numbuh 1 thinking it stands for "Pubescent Retaliation on Munchkins". They all fail to realize however it's just a school dance, even when the evidence is right in their face, like the decorations being set up or Cree and Maurice arriving in a limo wearing fancy clothes. Can veer into tearjerker though when they decide to crash the dance right after Numbuh 5 managed to somewhat reconcile with Cree and seemed ready to let up on the KND.
    • Numbuh 2's diorama, and Numbuh 4's reaction
      'That's the same diarrhea thingy you made for history class!
    • When Cree shows up looking for her sister, she threatens to turn the entire treehouse upside down if Numbuh 1 doesn't tell her where she is. He thinks she's just bluffing and tries taunting her, only to Smash Cut to the treehouse literally flipped upside down.
      Numbuh 1: (Dizzy with Wingding Eyes) Wow! I didn't think you could do it.
  • "Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.I.V.E."
    • Father and Numbuh 86's shared amusement at Numbuh 19th Century not knowing what cartoons and television are.
      Father: This kid doesn't get out much, does he?
      Numbuh 86: He's from the nineteenth century.
      Father: Get outta here!
      Numbuh 86: No, really! He's, like, never seen cars and stuff! Go on, ask him something!
      Father: Say, nineteenth century kid! You wanna watch a carTOON?! On the teleVISION?!
      Numbuh 19th Century: What is a "cartoon"? And what is this thing you call... "tele-vision"?
      (Father and Numbuh 86 both double over laughing at him.)
    • When the ice cream men finish writing the message on the Delightful Children's giant ice cream cake, one of them angrily points out that "Children" doesn't have two L's.
    • Father's dismay at losing the recipe to the cake his great-grandmother made for the Annoyingly Cute Triplets Who Lived Upon a Hill.
    • When Numbuh 19th Century asks if Numbuh 86's feelings for him change anything about how he has to be decommissioned, Numbuh 86 gleefully informs him that they don't.
    • The Delightful Children complaining to Father that it's the worst birthday ever after the cake splatters everywhere in The Stinger.
  • The reveal of Numbuh 86's father. Mr. Boss.
    • What's even better is the return of Sonia's fear of the dark. She beats Mr. Boss while the male operatives — including Numbuh One — have to stare at her with absolute horror.
  • When the episode is titled "Operation: C.L.O.W.N.", hilarity is probably to be expected. Not only does Hoagie get in a decent joke for once ("Knock knock, who's there, not me!"), he then runs away from the clowns determined to never let him be funny again...and into the Big Top, where he proceeds to run over a seesaw, have an elephant fall on the other side so that he gets catapulted into the grip of a trapeze artist, is tossed into a cannon, and is finally fired onto a tight rope. Cut to audience member Abby, wide-eyed and mouth stuffed with popcorn.
  • "Operation: S.P.A.N.K.E.N.S.T.I.N.E.":
    • Near the end of the episode, Numbuh 2 confronts the culprit— once again Mushi Sanban —only for the kindergartener to turn out to be a formidable opponent.
      Numbuh 2: Geez, Mushi! I'm not going to fight you! You're, like, five years—
      (Mushi strikes him with a flying kick, knocking him across the room.)
      Numbuh 2: Well, maybe I'll fight ya just this once, but don't tell anyone!
    • Numbuh 2 winds up not having to fight Mushi after all; as Mushi learns the hard way, stealing Count Spankulot's spanking powers has very obvious consequences for the thief as soon as he gets them back.
    • During the end credits, Count Spankulot and Numbuh 2's grandmother bond at the dinner table over the old days. Poor Numbuh 3 is stuck sitting between them and looks like she wants to barf as they keep going, before finally screaming for them to stop it.
      Lydia Gilligan: So, Spankulot, you married?
  • "Operation: L.I.C.O.R.I.C.E."
    • Number Five challenges Stickybeard to a sugar swallowing contest. When Stickybeard decides to not do so, she replies "Unless you're...sugar-free." Cue all the pirates going "Oooh..."
    • That same quote gets an Ironic Echo when it's revealed that Stickybeard was a cabin boy to legendary Black Licorice Pirate Old John. The undead pirate laughs in the face of the challenge so Stickybeard goes, "Unless ye be...sugar-free."
      Licorice Pirates: "Oooh..."
    • Even better, Numbuh Five takes his place in the sugar swallowing contest and ultimately undergoes an insane sugar rush. Then, after defeating Black John once and for all, Stickybeard pours some sugar for he and Numbuh Five to partake in. Numbuh Five collapses into a sugar coma.
      • How about the fact that Black John is lauded as unbeatable at sugar swallowing, yet the only reason he's unaffected is because he's just a licorice skeleton in his present state, and the sugar just passes right through his ribcage. This goes unmentioned by the episode itself.
    • The pirate shanty about how the licorice pirates were cursed.
      And that's when the Licorice, Licorice, turned rancid and black. It was dead, no, not red and tasted like (coughing).
  • "Operation: I.T.":
    • The entire KND is having a worldwide game of tag, with the person who is "it" at the end of the game becoming the next Soopreme Leader. Everyone is trying their hardest to avoid being "it" at the end of the game...right up until someone tags Numbuh Thirteen. Cue the dogpile.
    • Bonus points that he was the only operative (besides Father) that was excited to get the position.
      Numbuh Thirteen: HOT DOG! I'm gonna be the leader of the Kids Next Door!
      Operative: OH, NO YOU'RE NOT! (dogpile)
    • The leader of the Jamaican KND sector, Numbuh One Love, is happily chilling at the beach when he's approached. He just pulls out his weapon and points without even looking.
      Numbuh One Love: Don't even try it, mon.
    • Numbuh Two tries hiding in low orbit, in a secret spot he uses to read Rainbow Monkey Romance magazines. Unfortunately, it's not as secret as he thinks it is, as Numbuh Five catches up with him and reveals everyone knows what he gets up to up there.
      Numbuh 2: I only read it for the video game ads, I swear!
    • Father ends up being Tagged as part of a plot of his to infest all the KND treehouses with broccoli, and Numbuh 362 and One desperately try to trick him into declaring another game of Tag so he'll lose his authority. Too bad when he does, 362 freaks out over being Soopreme Leader again and tags the Delightful Children.
      362: I DON'T WANT TO BE SOOPREME LEADER AGAIN! TAG, YOU'RE IT!
      Delightful Children: WE DON'T WANT TO BE IN CHARGE OF A BUNCH OF MISBEHAVED BRATS!! TAG, YOU'RE IT!! (tags Father back then run off screaming)

Season 6

  • "Operation: S.P.I.N.A.C.H."
    • We have two hilarious things coming in on the same time: The Spinach Inquisition, and Sector V singing lyrics in the style of Green Eggs and Ham.
    • Nigel's banter.
      Vespinacio: You speak-a the blasphemy-a!
      Nigel: Fluently.
    • Not to mention Numbuh One and Three's Curse Cut Short during the musical number.
      Numbuh One: I will not eat it, not a scrap! I will not try it, it tastes like—
      Numbuh Three: It's yucky, blecchy, gross, and soupy! I tried it once, it tasted like—
      • And this line from Numbuh Four after Numbuh 2 screams, "STTTTOOOOPPPP!":
        "Stop is right! The only thing worse than spinach is a cruddy song-and-dance number about spinach!"
    • "Nobody ever expects the Spinach Inquisition!" (rimshot)
  • "Operation C.R.I.M.E.": Numbuh Two is investigating why the hall monitors are randomly putting people in detention, only to end up in detention himself, leaving Numbuh Three to continue the case. She and the Delightfuls have a conversation, with the Delightfuls thinking she's figured out their plot and Numbuh Three convinced that they're having a map-colouring party.
    Delightfuls: Is there a reason you're interrupting our breakfast, Kuki Sanban?!
    Numbuh Three: I hear you can help me with my colouring problem.
    Delightfuls: We don't know what you're talking about!
    Numbuh Three: Ohhhh. I think you do!
    Delightfuls: Gasp (beat) You're smarter than you look, Sanban.
    Numbuh Three: (looking thrilled) I am?!
  • The Stinger to Operation P.A.R.T.Y., with Numbuh 1 yelling at Numbuh 4 and The Upper Crust to pipe down through a Ceiling Banger.
  • "Operation: D.O.G.H.O.U.S.E." ends with Numbuh 4 getting a painful dose of reality:
    Numbuh 4: If I helped save you from being a cruddy homework-eating weredog, how come I still get a triple F minus on my homework?!
    Ms. Thompson: Because you're not very smart. (Beat) I probably shouldn't have said that.
    • For added amusement, during this exchange Numbuh 5 still has a wrong math equation imprinted onto her forehead from where Numbuh 4 whacked her with his homework.
    • It's also a Call-Back to her casually revealing how to undo the werewolf curse thanks to Numbuh 4 exploiting her teacher role.
    • When Numbuh 4 sees the Very Definitely Final Dungeon that Ms. Thompson has her weredogs all set up in, he has probably the most rational reaction to a bad situation he's had in the entire series:
      Numbuh 4: Well, guess I'm not turning in my homework again.
  • Operation S.C.I.E.N.C.E.:
  • "Operation: M.O.O.N.":
    Numbuh 4: Free hamburgers?! Oh man! They're giving away free hamburgers on Earth?!
    • The space agency bigwig's excited reaction to witnessing "alien life" on the "moon".
    Boss: Amazing! Alien life on the moon! You know what this means, gentlemen! We've got to destroy it!
    • Numbuh 3 tricks the space agency into thinking they successfully blew up the moon by hijacking their feed with live-action footage of herself using a dart to pop a balloon with "the moon" written on it, followed by holding up an end card. This somehow works, but there's just one problem: to protect the real moon, she diverted the missiles to the fake moon. The fake moon that she and her teammates are still standing on.
    Numbuh 5: Uhh, Houston? We got a problem...!
  • At the end of Operation: C.A.R.A.M.E.L., after the shocking plot twist...
    Numbuh 4: So now we gotta go find where Heinrich is, huh?
    Numbuh 1: Uh, Numbuh 4...
    end transmission_
    Numbuh 4: He WHAT!?
  • Number 74.239 playing around with the voice changer. "Nigel Uno, I am your father!" And then Numbuh Infinity's reaction as he grabs the voice changer: "Give me that!"
    Numbuh Infinity: But enough with the voice changer thing!
    Numbuh 74.239: Aw, but it makes me sound so cool!

Movies and Specials

  • Operation: Z.E.R.O.
    • How about this little exchange?
      Numbuh Four: Hey Spankaholic! Time to teach you the Australian word for "ouch"!
      Count Spankulot: Ridiculousness! Those who fail to realize that the Australian word for "ouch" would still be "ouch" will be—
      (Numbuh Four pulls out a gun that SHOOTS A KANGAROO)
      Spankulot: (beat) Is that a...kangaroo?
    • The Rhetorical Question Blunder from both Father and Grandfather's villain meetings- the first one, Father prepares to unveil "The ultimate evil". Toiletnator thinks it's someone who doesn't flush. Count Spankulot thinks it's "shoddy glove manufacturers" (as his gloves are filled with holes). Crazy Old Cat Lady think it's dogs. And various other villains come up with ideas, like TV executives, toenails and old magazines at the doctor's office, before Father silences them. The second time, Grandfather rants about how he has to destroy the Book of KND to prevent the kids from rising up again, as it contains the one thing that could stop him. Mr. Fizz thinks it's a really big guy who can punch super hard. Mr. Boss speculates it's an army of robot gorillas that bite. Knightbrace thinks it's pie, to which Mr. Fizz does a Face Palm.
    • The Funny Background Event of Grandfather (not yet recommissioned) trying to walk off stage, only to be stopped by the open palm of someone off-screen. Twice. (Once during Father's speech to the other Evil Adults and once while Father is telling Numbuh 1 his plan)
    • Also:
      Numbuh Four: Listen, Numbuh Five...I don't wanna fight you!
      Zombified Numbuh Five: Of course you don't! Cause you're the weakest, shortest, dumbest, most chicken, big mouth squirt on the entire team!!
      Numbuh Four: (raging) OKAY! NOW I WANNA FIGHT YA!
    • This little gem:
      Numbuh 4: Kuki, I-I'm scared. I don't know what to do next!!
      Numbuh 3: Kiss me!
      Numbuh 4: Kiss you?! No way! Oh, nonononononono! Nu-uh! Nope, no way! Ain't gonna happ- okay.
    • Even as a dangerous Senior Citizombie, Toiletnator is still a Butt-Monkey. Numbuh One slams a door on him. Thrice.
    • The zombie hamsters, after losing their quarry, decide to jump up and down Numbuh One's bed. Again.
    • Later on, Numbuhs 3 and 4 actually do kiss, as citi-zombies. Numbuhs 362, 2 and 86 are all utterly squicked out.
      Numbuh 362: Eeeaaarrgh! End transmission! Please!
      (86 does so... by shooting the monitor)
    • Numbuh One turning into a total fanboy when he realizes that his father used to be the legendary Numbuh Zero. Ditto his freakout at learning the Delightful Children were the missing members of Sector Z.
    • Even as Numbuh 2's being zombified Numbuh 86, he can’t help but try to get her to say something cool first. She had to shut him up via Facepalm Of Doom.
    • There's also his "He's Back!" moment. After getting the short end of the stick from his father for nearly the whole movie, he finally loses his patience with everything. Only to resign himself to everything that's happened and walk off to eat some ice cream. And the extra sound effects when he quits happens to sound like he broke wind.
      Father: You...big...JERK! Now you've made me angry. VERY. VERY. VERY...ah, forget it.
    • "Welcome Numbuh 1, as in one sorry son of a gun, now that we're about to transform you into one of us!""
      Numbuh 5: Even as a Senior Citi-zombie, his lines still stink.
    • Numbuh One (in regards to the Delightful Children From Down The Lane): "Next stop: way down the lane!"
    • After Sector V drops the Moonbase on Grandfather, we see that Father's mansion was destroyed in the explosion as well. Father has this to say about it.
      Father: I hate everyone.
    • Before Grandfather is defeated by his son and grandson, he shouts this at his son: "You're out of my will, you BRAT!"
  • A car carrier for cruise ships, among other everyday sights in "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S." Even by the show's usual standards, that episode was insane.
    Wally: (as Kuki is crying on Hoagie's shoulder) And would you mind hugging your own wife instead of mine?!
    Hoagie: (looks at Wally before looking at Kuki and getting confused) Hey! You're not Abby!
    • Also, Numbuh One as the Delightful Children fall into the giant toilet at the theme park.
      "I always wondered how those guys go to the bathroom together!"
    • This gem:
      Toiletnator (Soaked by the water from the "Drop-A-Log"): Mmmmm...Toilet Water.
  • The Stinger of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy Crossover shows a couple posters promoting five fake crossover specials called "Ed, Edd, N' Mandy", "Evil Camp Carne", "Class of Numbuh 3000", "My Gym Partner's A Mandark" and "Samurai Mac".

The G:KND Experiment

  • Around the time the ARG site for Galactic Kids Next Door went up, the video for the ARG was uploaded by Morbidcrab. A few days later, the site was updated, and entering Morbidcrab gives this gem:
    MORBIDCRAB: why you gotta did that?
    • Some of the responses for entering certain names are pretty hilarious:
      Mushi Sanban: that kid is nuts
      Numbuh 10-Speed*: undergoing testing
    • As are responses for entering rather crude words:
      Fuck or Fuck You: you watch your mouth
      Shit: you're not very nice
      Penis: what? why— ew GROSS!
  • "Stop the g:KND", when Numbers 3 + 4 find out Lizzie is an alien:
    Number 3: (stunned shock) Holy- (beep)!
    Number 4: (under his breath, a little scared) She looked better as a plant-
    Lizzie: I HEARD THAT!
    • In the teaser proper, Numbuh 1's booger is used to activate a machine that will do something to the Earth. In context, it's really not that funny, but if you're not familiar with how the Kids Next Door universe works at this point, consider that a single booger will decide the fate of the world.

Comics

  • "Operation: S.T.I.N.G.E.R.":
  • "Operation: H.I.S.T.O.R.I.E" reveals that, unmasked, the Toiletnator looks exactly like Numbuh 4's dad, Sydney Beetles. Numbuh 4 takes this to mean his dad's been the Toiletnator this entire time, but is relieved when he learns they're actually just long-lost twin brothers. The fact that this still makes the Toiletnator his uncle is lost on him.
  • "Operation: F.O.R.G.E.T.":
    • Numbuh 86 is partially decommissioned when she turns on one of the machines and becomes absolutely boy-crazy as a result, running around the moonbase kissing every male operative she can get her lips on. One of her officers questions why the machine would zap the person who turned it on. Another officer, calling back to Operation: S.P.A.C.E., responds that the guy who made the "Blow-Up-The-Engines" button on all KND spacecraft worked on that machine, and says they really should get rid of that guy some day.
    • One operative does try to let Numbuh 362 and Numbuh 65.3 know about what is going on, but leave out the fact that Numbuh 86 was partially decommissioned. The duo's reaction? Burst out laughing at the "prank notice".
  • "Operation: B.O.U.N.C.E." features Mushi and Sandy's ultimate revenge on Numbuh 2: ripping his pants off so he has to wander around the neighborhood pantsless. When Numbuh 2 points out he can just go put on a different pair, Mushi explains that they already stole all the pants from his house and purchased every single pair of pants in his size from the stores, and burned them all.
