• Let's start with the one that started it all. Episode one, "Chao In Space" has a couple of average lines, but then it has this:

• Actually, the early episodes count as So Bad, It's Good. Episode two, "The 2nd Shade" gives us this:

• Episode Four, "Teacher's Pet," has a surprisingly not-terrible gag:

• "The Top 10 Ways to Get Rid of Dark," Episode Five, shows us for the first time how Dark's lack of intelligence can be used well.

• Episode Six has one of the most memorable lines to come from an early episode:

• Episode Ten gives us another one of the most memorable early-episode lines:

• The dogfight at the climax of Episode Thirteen, "Flight of the Thursday Players," was probably the funniest the series had gotten by that point.
• Episode Fourteen introduces the "dark" recurring gag.

• Episode Seventeen, being the Rashomon episode, is filled with funny moments. Like this classic, during Dark's retelling:

• The episode to introduce recurring baddies the Beta Avengers, Episode Nineteen, gives us Metal Speedy's badassery slipping up quite humorously.

• Short Episode Twenty has an unusual euphemism:

• The end of the Mysterious Stardust three-parter, Episode Twenty-Three, "Return of the Daleks," contains many attempts for a twelve-year old to deconstruct the oddness of Daleks.

• Episode Twenty-Four, "The Chao World," the first attempt at a "long" script, wasn't that funny. But there was at least one just.. ridiculous bit that still sparks laughter:

• Episode Thirty has the protagonists enter a dark factory. Emphasis on dark.

• Episode Thirty-Three, "Shade versus Chao part three: Petty Rivalry," has Shade in his best mood yet.
