Season 1

Til Death Do Us Part

• The series opens with the Joker posing as a stereotypical Rich Jerk toasting several other wealthy snobs in front of a huge pile of money that he says they got by "fucking the poor!"
  • Then, in a hilarious example of Black Comedy, Joker reveals himself by tearing off the face of the man he was wearing over his, and then proceeding to puppeteer and pantomime with the bloody flesh mask.
    Harley: Puddin', w-what the fuck are you doing?! You're not supposed to take his face off yet, I had this covered!
    The Joker: W-well, yes, but, I thought up that great 'plus one' line, and then I'm not going to not puppeteer his face!
• The Joker's escape submarine has a horn... Which plays "La Cucaracha" as he escapes.
• Jim Gordon's Establishing Character Moment, giving Harley an increasingly unhinged rant that establishes him as an overworked Nervous Wreck.
  Jim: You're a cancer, Quinn. Spreading from Gotham's lymph nodes into its spleen, and God help us if you get to Gotham's bladder! But I'm the chemo.
  Harley: *to Batman* ...How long's he gonna keep doin' thi-
  Jim: You're a festering boil, Quinn! A bedsore! A tapeworm that sets up shop in Gotham's lower—
  Batman: Jim!
  Jim: -All right. Where's the Joker?
  Harley: I'll never give up my puddin'!
  Batman: Why are you protecting a psychotic clown who treats you like garbage?
  Harley: Ask the guy who fucks bats.
  Jim: HE DOESN'T DO THAT!
• Ivy giving Harley relationship advice...during a fight with the guards at Arkham Asylum.
  • Ivy casually resetting Harley's broken nose during said fight without either of them deviating at all from the subject.
• Calendar Man can remember exactly how long Harley has been in prison, but isn't even sure what month his son was born in. His wife chastises him for knowing more about the "porn clown" than his own son.
  • He can even remember it while staging a prison riot.
    "Oh hi - exactly one year today, Ivy!" (throws Molotov)
• Calendar Man's son tries to give him a cactus, causing the guards to freak out and burn it so Ivy can't control it. Then they yell at him and say it's no wonder his father doesn't remember his birthday.
• The Joker says that the Riddler's gimmick is "being the world's most indirect asshole."
• Harley tempts the Joker with a Reese Witherspoon movie, and the Joker says "it's Legally Blonde or I'm out".
  Harley: It's Sweet Home Alabama.
  [Beat]
  The Joker: This. Day. SUUUUUCKS!!!
• Ivy shows up to help Harley defeat the Joker and his thugs only to find that she has managed to hold her own against him just fine and decides to ask what she wants for takeout. The mundanity of the conversation is hilarious:
  Ivy: Hey, I was just gonna see if you need any help, but ya seem good, love the new look, gonna go pick up some Thai food, text me what you want?
  Harley: Oh, wait, I'll have a green potato curry! Mmmm.
  Ivy: Yeah but I sai- j-j-just text it to me.
  Harley: But you're right here.
  Ivy: Yeah, but I'm not gonna remember it, and then you won't like what I get you [Harley pouts] and you're gonna want some of mine.
  Harley: Ugh.
  Ivy: Just...just fuckin' text it.
• Harley confronts the Riddler to kill him, just as Batman shows up to stop him, and stops in the middle of his heroic monologue in confusion over Harley being there.
• Harley and Batman both guess the answer to his riddle (Acid) before he could even finish saying the entire riddle.
• This being Gotham, the threat of an acid bath doesn't hold the weight that it used to...
  Harley: (excitedly) Is this the good kinda acid that gives you superpowers!?
  Riddler: No!
  Harley: Awwww...
  • Later on, we find out the "acid" was actually margarita mix, and Poison Ivy laments how hard it was to find enough of the stuff to fill two huge vats. The Riddler smugly responds that she should've gotten a Costco membership card like he suggested, only for Ivy to respond that it wouldn't be worth the price since she only shops there once a year anyway.

A High Bar

• The Joker goes on Howie Mandel's TV show and announces that he's the one who broke up with Harley, not the other way around. He then proceeds to blow up Howie with a suicide belt, angering Harley and Ivy even further.
  • Harley, Ivy, and Frank's reactions of horror upon seeing the Joker target Howie is priceless.
• Harley tries to get Ivy to go face the Joker with her by telling her she'd have the chance to test out a love potion. Ivy corrects her by saying it's a pheromone that causes the victim to fall in love with her and then die by turning into a plant. To which both Harley and Frank both say:
  Frank/Harley: Right. A love potion.
• Harley decides to crash Penguin's party. She has an epic diva entrance complete with a tiger and a Repeat Cut... and then the camera pans out to reveal that it's a kid's Bar Mitzvah. Did Harley get the wrong location? Nope! It's for Penguin's nephew. Two-Face, Bane, and Scarecrow are sitting at a table in the corner in full costume.
• Bane's coffee mug reads "Coffee is my reckoning."
• Bane decides to blow up Gotham Stadium because he got a question wrong while playing bar trivia.
• Also Bane has the, uh, Bane voice: As in, the one played by Tom Hardy. That accent has never and will never be taken seriously ever again.
• When Kite Man introduces himself, he activates the kite on his back, accidentally shoving a little girl into the punch bowl behind them. Then he does it to the same girl again later in the episode.
  • Speaking of Kite Man, he can't help but check out the weather before taking off to Ivy's apartment... to her frustration.
    Kite Man: It is raining out? It looked like a little overcast when I came in-
    Ivy (exasperatedly): Oh, shut the fuck up... let's go.
• Throughout the episode, the Joker is shown arguing with contractors about the specifics about constructing a new evil lair, factoring in permission from city hall for trapdoors or not being able to build in a residential area. Turns out building a lair means going through A LOT of red tape.
  • Compounding this, he even points out the absurdity of asking permission from city hall about his secret lair.
    "I need a permit for a trap door? The whole point is no one is supposed to know about it! Especially the city!"
• At the bar mitzvah, the Penguin bluntly admits that he's basically forcing his nephew to carry on the family business. Joshua, however, seems like he's enjoying it, anyway.
• Harley tries to make a getaway by doing her usual trademark acrobatic front-flips, only for the Penguin to hit her in the neck with a tranquiliser dart. She immediately falls flat on her face.
• While searching the apartment for an antidote to her love potion, Ivy sees a trail of Kite Man's clothes leading to the bedroom, and of course finds him naked in her bed. Apparently, Frank saw him doing this, but decided not to say anything because he wanted to see where things were going.
• The guests are all appalled that Harley ruined the bar mitzvah... but they couldn't care less that she just maimed an improv troupe.
• Harley and Ivy being sugary and polite when Mrs. Cobblepot is around. Especially when she chastises them for the bad language.
  • Later on when she gives them their party favors (in the form of green sacks with dollar signs on them) they cheerfully thank her in their best "adorable good little girl" voice. This coming from Ivy, a Deadpan Snarker nigh-supreme misanthrope that had to be psychoanalyzed into standing people.
    Mrs. Cobblepot: Such sweet girls.
  • Props to Lake Bell changing her voice on the fly.
    Ivy (in soft voice): Yeah, never again. Sorry. (in normal voice, to Harley) Dude, we gotta get the fuck outta here.
• Overlapping with Heartwarming Moments: At one point Kite Man gives some kids Poison Ivy's pheromones, thinking they just make people fall in love when they actually kill people. Ivy can't bring herself to just let them die, so she gives them the antidote, which requires her to kiss them on the lips. Considering they're all teenage boys, they aren't exactly displeased with this development.
  • Not to mention one of the kids trying to get the kiss twice. Ivy doesn't buy it because said kid is just holding a tree branch in his hands.
    Ivy: Yeah, I already kissed you, buddy.
    Kid: Yeah, I'm still a bit tree.
    Ivy: Yeah, fuck off - get outta here.
    Harley: Yeah, fuck off, kid.

So You Need a Crew?

• When the Joker has his mooks throw Harley off the train we can see her pouting as she's falling Wile E. Coyote-style down a giant gorge.
• Ivy's response to Harley coming home saying she needs a crew is to tell her that she needs a shower.
• Ivy's reaction to Kite Man being able to attract the bar thugs to join his heist:
  Harley: And then, they all ran off with that loser Kite Man!
  Poison Ivy: Yeah, what a loser that guy is- Did he mention my name?
  Harley: [annoyed look]
  Ivy: You know what, nevermind. ... But did he?
• Doctor Psycho calling Wonder Woman a c*nt is so shocking that everyone stops to stare, a dog stops peeing (twice), birds stop flying, and the Earth itself stops spinning. And it happens again when he does the same during a talk show.
  • There's also the fact that despite this being an adult-oriented series where the characters say 'fuck' and 'shit' all the time, 'c*nt' is always bleeped out.
• Clayface's epic comeback to Doctor Psycho.
  Clayface: The name is Clayface, thespian extraordinaire recently portraying the juicy role of country boy bartending in the big city!
  Doctor Psycho: I thought you were playing the role of literal piece of shit.
  Clayface: Not yet. (transforms into Doctor Psycho) NOW I'm a literal piece of shit!
• Maxie Zeus referring to Harley as a juggalo.
• And earlier on in that seminar, Maxie's question to the audience, which Poison Ivy quickly answers:
  Maxie Zeus: Joker! Riddler! Two-Face! What do they have that you don't?
  Poison Ivy: A penis?
  Maxie Zeus: A crew!
• Dr. Psycho completely blowing his guest appearance on Tawny Young when Giganta calls him out on using his psychic powers to manipulate her and he snaps by calling her the C-word. Like when he used the word to refer to Wonder Woman, this results in shocked stares, a dog ceasing urination near a fire hydrant, and the Earth briefly stopping its rotation. We also see a banner at the bottom screen reading "Man says terrible thing again! Will probably get a third chance."
• The Legion of Doom is a cabal of ruthless, criminal, megalomaniac supervillains who threaten the world for petty reasons on a regular basis, yet misogyny is where they draw the line.
  • Hence their banishing of Doctor Psycho from the Legion of Doom, the Legion of Doom Europe, and the Junior Doomers of America.
• Harley's heist plan requires Clayface to distract Maxie Zeus by impersonating the mailman. Clayface eagerly makes up a convoluted, elaborate backstory for his character, and makes up a new one even when Harley vetoes his "trapped in a cage" idea.
  • The character idea he goes with is Zeus's long-lost son from a fling with a girl from a piano bar. Surprisingly enough, it actually seems to work at first, until Zeus starts falsely mentioning characteristics of the woman that he expects their son to inherit and Clayface conspicuously starts altering his disguise to accommodate those. By the time Harley and Doctor Psycho find them, Clayface's mailman character is a deformed hunchback with a peg leg and a lisp.
• Harley revealing that she used the medals she stole from Maxie Zeus to trade for a nuclear warhead which she then used to blackmail the city into renaming a highway in her name. This time, after hearing it from the news, Ivy is completely on board with it.

Finding Mr. Right

• The recordings of Batman's voice that Harley pieced together are funnier when you listen carefully.
  1st recording: Open Batmobile. Allow. HARLEY! To drive.
  2nd recording: I definitely. Make. Love. To. BATS!
• When Robin confronts Harley over her stealing the Batmobile and attempts to fight her, she easily deals with him by grabbing him and hanging him up on a meat hook, and leaves after saying "Tell Batman we're coming for him". The scene then cuts to Robin on Tawny Young's talk show, where he tells a very different version of what happened:
  Robin: Well, Tawny, then Harley said "I'm coming for you." 'Course, then we had a huge battle, tons of punching, some lasers, lotta lasers.
  Tawny: [impressed] Boy, stop it!
  Robin: When I beat her butt, that's when she asked me to be her nemesis.
  Tawny: Your first nemesis at just twelve years old! Now, are you a little sweet potato pie? Because I could just eat you up!
  Robin: Yeah, I'm a little sweet potato pie!
  Tawny: Oh, you're just so cute!
  [caption on the show reads "Fresh Out of the Oven: Gotham's Lil' Sweet Potato Pie!"]
• Harley wishes that her nemesis was someone "with hair on their chest" as opposed to a Bratty Half-Pint like Robin. Ivy's response gets funnier the longer you think about it.
  Ivy: Well, that rules out Batman. Catwoman says he waxes everything.
• When Harley kidnaps Lois Lane in an attempt to make Superman her nemesis and to make Lois retract the article about her and Robin's supposed "rivalry", Superman smashes through the wall and starts coughing up rubble, remarking that he has to remember to close his mouth when he does that.
  • The completely blase reaction of Lois to being held hostage, no fear whatsoever at Harley and her band of idiots compared to all the time she's been held prisoner before.
• Harley complains about the overpriced subscription to the Daily Planet. When she kidnaps Lois and Superman shows up, he thinks she's mad about the subscription price. This is especially funny when taking into account that as Clark Kent, he works for the Planet.
  Superman: Is she mad about the paywall too? Seven-ninety-nine is an ambitious price point, and it doesn't include the crossword, which is ridic.
• Damian shows up to fight Harley at the Daily Planet and blasts through the wall... on a flying hoverboard of all things.
• Superman tries to coach Damian before he fights Harley like a parent telling their kid not to be nervous on their first date. He even takes the time to wipe Damian's nosebleed for him.
  Robin: You're embarrassing me in front of my nemesis!
• Harley decides to kill Robin. Ivy advises against it because it would just validate the idea that he's her nemesis. King Shark chimes in with more practical advice:
  King Shark: Also, you'd be a child killer, which some may argue is worse.
• Robin tries to placate King Shark by promising to bring him onstage at the next Video Music Awards.
• Clayface and Dr. Psycho take a moment to discuss how they both thought that King Shark's allusion to his blood rage was just him trying to hint that he has hemophobia, but that the rage thing makes more sense - because, you know, shark.
• Robin smirks at Harley while she's holding him in a Bridal Carry, followed by her silent reactions. Maybe 'cause Harley's accidentally letting him cop a feel?
• Batman subdues King Shark with his trusty Shark Repellent.
• The reaction shots of various heroes and villains watching the show.
  • When Ivy shows up to save Harley, we cut to a completely random shot of Kite Man at the bar head-bobbing and singing Tawny's theme tune while the patron next to him just stares.
  • Just before the Joker breaks in, we cut to the Cobblepots watching the show.
    Joshua: Kill him, Ivy!
  • Superman and Lois are watching a television while on a date in a sushi restaurant. Lois is shocked by the events, while Superman just shrugs and keeps eating.
  • Aquaman's watching the fight on his phone in the (underwater) bathroom
  • Finally, Wonder Woman is in her home eating (her brand) cereal while dressed in her pajamas. And she has a milk mustache.
• Ivy swears on Tawny's show and asks, "Am I going to be bleeped?"
• Ivy gets the drop on Batman but gets distracted scolding the talk show audience about proper recycling techniques, allowing him to escape.
  • Clayface, King Shark, and Dr. Psycho sneak away from the fight and hide in the audience. When Batman breaks out of Ivy's trap, King Shark actually gets up and starts clapping with the crowd before Clayface pushes him back into his seat.
• The fact that Batman is trying to be a conscientious father to Damian is sweet (if not a little awkward), but bringing him his "favorite" - a grilled cheese sandwich with the Robin symbol on it - as an ice-breaker definitely makes it funny.
  • Damian correctly points out that Alfred is the one who actually made the sandwich, not Batman himself.
    Batman: I made him make it...
  • The way Batman tries to cheer Damian up is that he tries to assure him that he didn't have a nemesis until his late twenties and that he shouldn't rush into things, the Foe Romance Subtext of the episode making it sound like The Talk. Damian then lampshades this by flat-out changing the subject and asking him when he can start having sex.
    Batman: Er, I think I can hear the bat-signal. [Batman grappling-hooks away.]

Being Harley Quinn

• The realtor takes Harley and Ivy to a volcano lair to see if they'll buy it. A hooded man drops an innocent person into said volcano even after the person said he "got a family". Why? Because it was a "staging kill" to see if they're into volcano sacrifices. Harley almost buys it but changes her mind after realizing the giant skull the volcano is shaped into is flashy for her brand.
• Once they enter Harley's mind, Dr. Psycho informs everyone to abide by "hooker rules". Ivy assumes this to mean "no kissing on the lips," so he corrects it to "stripper rules" (no touching).
  • The joke comes back again when Harley is the one who sets off her mind's defenses, and points out that she was only touching herself, which is a breaking of the stripper rules.
• Harley tells Ivy there might be something deeply wrong with her mind.
  Ivy: Okay, I say this with love, but there's no way you're just realizing this now.
• Harley had a huge crush on Frankie Muniz as a child. How huge? She planned to kidnap him, marry him, and then pretend to be on birth control so he'd knock her up without realizing it.
• When Dr. Psycho tries to get everyone to leave Harley and save themselves, Ivy gives them a pep talk reminding them of what Harley did for them: she took Psycho when no one else did, she helped Clayface get an acting role...
  Ivy: And King Shark: let's all remember the time...
  King Shark: I'm in!
  Ivy: Oh thank God, because I had nothing.
  • Dr. Psycho then says he "has a plan". Cut to Harley being surrounded by Small Harleys...which then get knocked over by King Shark hurling Psycho at them like a bowling ball.
    Doctor Psycho: THAT WAS NOT THE PLAN!
• Harley's memory of her graduation has her throwing cluster f-bombs at everybody! Dr Psycho remarks that he gave the same speech at his sister's wedding.
• Sy is giving some potential tenants a tour when they come across the comatose and seemingly dead bodies of Harley and her crew splayed across the living room wearing "Suicide Squad" t-shirts. He interprets their shirts as them being part of a suicide cult and implies this is not the first time this has happened.

You're a Damn Good Cop Jim Gordon

• Jim uses the Bat-Signal to call Batman, not because it's an emergency, but because he's having personal troubles and needs a friend he can talk to.
• A large part of the episode centers around Jim befriending Clayface's sentient right hand. The jokes just write themselves.
• Dr Psycho meets his ex-wife Giganta, who now has a hunky boyfriend named Brad who, to Psycho's fury, has exceptional tongue skills; he somehow manages to turn an ice-cream cone into a replica of the statue of David (with a fig leaf) in seconds using only his tongue. He manages to get Ivy aroused!
  • For that matter, Ivy asking "how you two [Psycho and Giganta] worked sexually".
    Doctor Psycho: NOT GREAT!
• After a bizarre but emotional villainous father-son reconciliation, Ivy says she'll give them space and that she's going to find Brad. Psycho gets a brief look of shock before the scene cuts.
• In a shocking subversion of Police Are Useless, the moment King Shark walks into the station as the intended Trojan Prisoner, the police immediately shoot him with a tranquilizer, repeatedly kick his unconscious body, and ship him off to prison. All in the span of seconds.
• At the end of the episode, the Cowled Critic admits Harley might be good enough for the Legion of Doom if she stops leaving crew members in jail. Harley angrily protests this...and then remembers King Shark is still in jail.

The Line

• The Queen of Fables is good for a lot of black comedy.
  • When Clayface sees the carnage of the family reunion, he pulls his eyes out of his head and throws them away.
  • She summons the three little pigs to eat bodies. Darkly humorous in its own right considering pigs will actually eat people if given the chance, but she also mentions that the three blind mice will "gnaw the shit out of a skull."
  • Her "end the bloodline" spiel. She claims that it's "evil 101", at which point Doctor Psycho shouts "I taught that class at Boston University, and it never covered anything this fucked up!"

LODRSVP

• Doctor Psycho, first after being beaten up by a tentacle, then finding out it's Sy's sister, says two variations of "I'm gonna need you to explain that". The first is "I'm gonna need you to go ahead and explain that," and the second is "Yeah, I'm definitely gonna need you to explain that." And the delivery is glorious.
• The Legion of Doom is in a legal battle with a sex shop called "The Legion of Dildos" down the street, which is obviously ripping off their name.
• Bane calls the ocean the world's toilet. He's immediately booed by the audience and begins complaining that Political Correctness is killing comedy.
• Even though Aquaman is king of the sea, he can still burn people:
  King Shark: You're not my Dad!
  Aquaman: That is contrary to what she said.
  • The fact that a dolphin jumps out of the water just to give Aquaman something to high-five.
• Black Manta said he needed a bigger helmet, and here he's got the biggest one ever seen on him.
• Aquaman's constant usage of "family jewels" gets mocked by Sinestro whose response to Aquaman calling him out for his immaturity is to lamely reply that he has no proof.
• When Aquaman breaks a fish tank in his fight with Harley, a fish goes "Oh shit!"
  • Later on, Aquaman is frantically picking up fish to save, Harley recommends a pool at YMCA and Aquaman raves at her that it's a chlorinated pool, he can't throw saltwater fish in there!
  • Bane stomping on Aquaman's fish just because he can.
    Bane: Look! I am stomping on your fish!
    Aquaman: Bane, stop it!
• When the fish tank breaks, there's a quick sight gag of Metallo getting wanded after setting off a metal detector.
• Clayface, upon seeing the monster that was once Sy's sister, gives us this gem:
  Clayface: I can't even imagine what it must be like to go through life a giant, deformed thing!
  * Sy, Harley, King Shark, and Doctor Psycho stare at him for a beat*
  Psycho: [very softly] You can't? You can't imagine?
• KGBeast has spare hands he can use to replace his regular robot hand. One is a spoon, for eating soup. Another is a robot hand permanently stuck Flipping the Bird, which he promptly reveals when Harley gets the nomination instead of him.

A Seat at the Table

• In a 1980s VHS tape-style training video for the Legion of Doom, Black Manta whispers something to Lex Luther, who goes to the next room to meet new members. In the background, Dr. Psycho whispers something to Black Manta, who then grabs him and throws him at the wall.
  Clayface: What did you say to Black Manta to elicit such rage?
  Dr. Psycho: Nothing racist...
• Bane tries to do the "pick a card" trick to Harley for her membership party, only to botch it.
  Bane: Is your card... the three of hearts?
  Harley No.
  Bane: Fuck!
  • Bane as a magician in general, complete with a top hat, but especially his reaction when Lex says there was no time left in the Legion of Doom presentation for his magic tricks.
    Lex Luthor: Oh, and my apologies to Bane, who wanted to do some magic.
    Bane: [genuinely disappointed] It was going to be a spectacle.
• Lex Luthor's reaction to Bane mentioning "s'plosions".
  "I have no idea what the fuck "s'plosions" are, Bane, but we do have explosives."
• The Legion gets sidetracked bickering over whether it's possible to make a sequel to Up.
  Bane: I wish they would make another Up movie.
  Lex Luthor: They can't! The story was over at the end of the first.
  Scarecrow: Unless... the kid is the old man in the sequel.
  Bane: Oh, that's fun! That's a good one!
• Harley and the Joker's romantic dinner is on a yacht... that they tied up the owners of. The owners are still there, sitting on the floor. After they get a little too noisy and lippy, the Joker and Harley throw them into a lifeboat and set them adrift.
• Bane is driven to blow up a smoothie place when the guy taking his orders keeps getting his name wrong. Later it turns out the Joker actually paid him to do it.
• King Shark's morphine-induced version of the "Boy who Cried Wolf", about "the Fish who cried Orca".
  King Shark: Instead of a boy, it's a fish, and instead of a wolf...
  Harley Quinn: It's an orca.
  King Shark: No! It's a wolf named Orca. But it can swim, which is terrifying!
  • He is unable to join the rest of the crew in walking away from Harley because he has a catheter in. But as soon as he's able to urinate normally, he's out!
• The Joker throws a pastry at Black Manta, who immediately produces tiny windshield wipers from his helmet to wipe his lenses clean.

Bensonhurst

• Ivy bantering with the Mook who's looking after her. He's a kindergarten teacher that's 'gooning' on the side to earn extra money for art supplies.
  • He refuses to let her go because it would lower his rating on 'Goon Review'.
  • At one point he gets a phone call from a concerned parent. He takes it outside and explains that the child told an adult joke in class, about a potato who is a whore. Figure that one out.
  • Later, he's looking through Ivy's phone at Harley's texts. He points out that their friendship is slightly toxic and that Ivy would probably be better off without Harley. Ivy refuses to listen to that, so the goon says he's just going to "rip that band-aid right off"... and he rips off an actual band-aid Ivy had on her arm. Ivy is relieved. Then he sends the equivalent of a break-up text to Harley.
• Harley's grandmother comes to join the family for dinner, sadly announcing that she has brain cancer and might not be around much longer...right before her head explodes. A sniper is trying to shoot Harley, but according to her father...

  Nick Quinzel: Jesus, that's an aggressive form of brain cancer!

  • Which becomes funnier when you remember that Harley's family is Jewish.
  • The gag repeats later when Harley's grandfather comes around, happy that Harley is in town and that grandma is dead. Grandpa apparently has high blood pressure and a heart condition...so naturally the next sniper puts a massive hole in his chest.
    Nick: Jesus, that high blood pressure is no joke!
• The socially conscious mobsters discussing which cliched Italian-American phrases they should stop using because they promote hurtful stereotypes of Italians. As well as the leader admonishing one of his henchmen for calling Harley Quinn a "fucking bitch" after she breaks his nose.
  Mobster: Hey, whoa, we can be respectful while killing her. [pulls out gun and starts shooting at Harley]
• Frank comes to get Harley (with his 'pot-guy' in the back seat) and she passes out from her wounds. When she wakes up, she sees her sane self in the car mirror, and...
  Harley: How much of this am I hallucinating?
  Dr. Quinzel: Just me. Weirdly, the passed-out guy with the boner and the talking plant driving a car are both real.
• The episode ends not on the Cliffhanger of what is happening to Ivy, but on The Reveal on who put out a bounty on Harley... Which turns out to be Joshua, having charged it to the Legion's credit card and being scolded by Bane for it.
  Bane: The credit card is for emergencies only, but your bill is all candies and vape pens and something suspiciously labelled "dolphin encounter"! When you put out a hit, you pay in cash!
  Joshua: Okay, fine, I'll cancel it!
  Bane: Already done, because I am this credit card's reckoning! I am cutting this card, and I am cutting it in half— [tries cutting the card in half with childproof scissors] ...These blades are dull. I will bend it!
  Joshua: Don't do that!
  Bane: Too late! Do you think I want to be 'Credit Card Paying Man'? I have dreams, too!

Harley Quinn Highway

• Ivy escapes in the Cold Open, picks up one of the goons' guns, and starts shooting them. She states how grateful she is for the "God-damn second amendment"... then immediately follows it up by saying she naturally supports background checks and common-sense gun control laws.
• The Reveal of the Scarecrow is kind of funny in a Black Comedy Even Evil Has Standards way.
  Scarecrow: Tsk tsk tsk. Trying to escape on surgery day. Don't worry, insurance will cover it. [Beat] ...Obviously that was a joke; insurance would never cover this. I-I think we can all agree they're the real villains, yeah?
  Ivy: I would agree with tha-[gets sedated]
• When Harley goes to get her crew back...
  • Clayface has joined the Riddler's crew. Unfortunately, his thespian nature has him interrupting his boss on live television, which annoys the Riddler so much that he simply announces the answer to his riddle so Batman will hurry up and find them. The Riddler then practically demands Harley take Clayface away with her.
  • Dr. Psycho has set himself up as a fortune teller at a carnival. He tells a young woman the number she's thinking of... and that her significant other has been banging his secretary Denise.
  • King Shark is actually helping Denise hack her boss' computer, for some reason.
    • Denise and her boss reappear later, with him having left his SO for Denise. Who promptly gets eaten by tree monsters. The man seems more 'mildly disappointed' than 'horrified and heartbroken'.
• Harley gives a very heartfelt speech to her former crew in order to get them to help her. They decline. Frank then chimes in that Ivy is actually the one who needs their help, and suddenly everyone is on board.
  • Along with Frank chews out Harley when did she learns to give a speech and she supposes to put her thesis statement at top of it.
  • After Harley says that Ivy needs them and she can't do it on her own. Lead to this conversation:
    Clayface: We'll help you, Harley.
    Harley: Yay!
    King Shark: For Ivy.
    Harley: Still yay.
    Dr. Psycho: And then we never want to see you ever again, all right?
    Harley: Less yay, but more yay than I had this morning.
    • It makes very clear they're still mad at her.
• The episode introduces a new Running Gag of Clayface waterfall-puking a bunch of clay, only for it to get re-absorbed into his body. To the disgust of his teammates.
  King Shark: I do not know how you live with yourself.
• Harley and her crew trying to look cool by walking slowly after taking the security guard's outfits, only to have Epic Fail moment.
• The scene of the crew entering Ivy's brain is almost identical to them entering Harley's brain, down to them all clenching their ass-cheeks (with close-ups).
  • And before Doctor Psycho calls Harley an idiot for knocking Ivy out before they do so, as she assumed she had to be out cold for the trip to work, only for him to inform her they didn't and she just punched her best friend out for no reason.
• Frank appears inside Ivy's brain as a guide for the crew and acts like the Cheshire Cat mixed with Deadpool.
  • "Who the fuck braided my hair?"
• Sy's ability to turn into a station wagon, besides being horrifying to watch, was apparently created In-Universe because the CIA was inspired by Transformers. His license plate? BORG MAN.
  • Sy falls asleep mid-chase, then wakes up with the sound of an engine starting.
• The eponymous Harley Quinn Highway (apparently the name's changed again since episode 3, probably came with the presumed remodeling), which bizarrely looks like something from Hot Wheels: AcceleRacers. Harley even set up a rocket launcher drop that makes a Mario Kart noise, just because.
  Doctor Psycho: Good God! Tax dollars actually paid for this?
  • Other features of the highway include: a giant statue of Harley posing with her bat; a loop-de-loop; a motherfucking starting line like this is some kind of racing game; and functioning on/off ramps.
• Clayface's "they poisoned Ivy" line with everyone's not funny expression.

Devil's Snare

• The taxpayers paid to give the Gotham PD tanks, and Gordon really wants to use them. He pouts like a child when Batman vetoes the idea, complains on the news about the decision, then hops in one anyway.
  • Batman has a video call with Gordon and realises he's in a tank.
    Batman: I can't get ahold of the Justice League, but I found Scarecrow... wait, are you wearing a helmet? Are you on a tank?
    Gordon: Ugh, no! I'm... riding my... skateboard.
• The Justice League come to the rescue. Harley is less than impressed.
  Harley: Hey, nice save, Jerkoff League.
  Superman: That's not our name, at all.
• When Ivy hits on the brainwave to use Wonder Woman's lasso to compel her to tell the truth (and thus proving they aren't responsible for the giant tree monsters attacking Gotham), she starts telling a lot of the truth.
  Ivy: We didn't do it. We aren't responsible for the tree monsters. I secretly watch NASCAR. I take long showers. I think paper straws are stupid and get too soggy. I was excited for Jazz Fest. [cries out in agony as the lasso glows] Fine. I was very excited for Jazz Fest!
• Ivy turns into a giant and rescues Harley from a giant tree monster, catching her as she falls. While holding Harley in the palm of her hand, she nonchalantly makes this observation, which appears to be a nod to the, ahem, weirder side of Batman porn:
  Ivy: Wouldn't it be messed up if I ate you right now?
  • Even funnier is that there does in fact exist a comic in which Ivy eats Harley. Admittedly it's during a Mushroom Samba, but still.
• The Queen of Fables' head pops off like a cork after Harley hits it with a bat. Harley is dumbfounded at how fragile she was.
  • For that matter, her saying, "Props!" with a rather impressed tone of voice once she realizes she's been bested, and her decapitated head's slightly disgusted, "Ah, *shit*".
• Despite being a mass murderer, the Joker does not approve of alcoholism and decries Queen of Fables' when she complains that the celebration drinks are weak.
  Joker: It's 1PM! I'm not getting fucked up on a Wednesday!
• "THIRTY BUCKS IF YOU PUT ME IN YOUR POCKET!...what? I got a type, you knew this."
• Ivy trying to distract Harley by asking how big she thinks the giant's dick is, and Harley not letting herself get distracted from asking about Kite Man while admitting she does actually want to talk about it. And then later, when the Joker is chewing out the Queen of Fables for not killing Harley outright, the Queen's defence that "that big-dicked giant kills everything".
• Giant Ivy smashes open one of the monster trees, revealing the rings.
  Poison Ivy: (covering her mouth) Oh God, it was just a kid...
• Clayface tries to distract the Big Bad Wolf (who is dressed in grandma's clothing) by disguising himself as Grandfather Wolf. Who is, for some reason, Jewish.
  Clayface: Oy! Bubbeh, it is I, Grandfather Wolf!
  Doctor Psycho: Okay. First, that's a male wolf, dressed like an elderly human female. Second, why is your wolf Jewish?
  Clayface: ...I took a swing.
• When Joker mocks Harley as a 2nd rate clown with a cheap dye job, Harley claims she goes to a high-end salon. Ivy immediately shoots this down by pointing out that she's seen Harley dye her hair with bottles from a drugstore. Harley admits she forgot Ivy was here to call her out on the lie.

The Final Joke

• The gang's attempt to fool the Joker into thinking they caught Batman for him when it is really Clayface in disguise, is ruined when Harley sings "Happy Birthday" to him, and Clayface can't resist breaking into song and completely blowing his cover.
• After the Scarecrow prematurely unmasks Batman, the Joker goes on a tirade on how "half the fun" of their rivalry was not knowing that Batman was "some boring rich asshole with parental issues". He's so depressed about it that instead of twisting the knife on Bruce's traumatic childhood as he had done in past storylines, he instead demands to know why WayneTech hasn't delivered on an electric car they promised last year. He put a deposit down on it, too.
  Joker: (exaggerated southern accent) Where's m'goddamn electric car, Bruce?!
  Bruce: (has a "you have got to be fucking kidding me" look on his face)
  • For that matter, Batman's response to being called a "boring rich asshole with parental issues":
    Batman: That's really reductive.
  • The Joker's depression even has him lamenting that he misses the fun times without realizing he keeps referencing Harley, and when he asks "What is wrong with me?" when even torturing Batman bores him:
    Batman: You're a sociopathic narcissist!
    (The Joker shocks him again)
    Joker: It was rhetorical, asshole! Who do you think you are, a psychiatrist?!
    • Even better is when Harley calls him a sociopathic narcissist and he remarks - with sincere amusement - that Batman said the same thing earlier.
• The Joker torturing Doctor Psycho by forcing him to watch feminist rallies.
• Harley throws herself from the platform and seemingly into the acid below. The Joker walks away laughing, then realises he didn't hear her land in the acid, leading him to say this:
  Joker: Wait a minute. Did anyone hear a splash? I've fallen in acid enough times to know that there should be a splash.
• The ending. The Justice League and the Legion of Doom are gone, the Joker has been defeated, but Gotham is in complete and utter chaos. Harley thinks that the burning city is beautiful.

Season 2

New Gotham

• Black comedy. After the President exiles Gotham from the United States, Harley does a double bird flip and shouts "Fuck yeah!"
• Bane being incapable of operating a coffee machine without goons' help. An annoyed Riddler presses the button that makes it work while the Penguin facepalms.
  Two-Face: Can I ask you a serious question? Why are you so stupid?
• Bane also still gets no respect from the other villains, being forced to sit on a fold-up chair while the others have their own corporate chairs.
• When Robin shows up wearing a hilariously ill-fitting Batsuit, Gordon first tries to shoo Robin away then throws a half-empty plastic whiskey bottle at his head. Then he asks for the bottle back so he can finish it off.
  • Robin's attempt to live up to his father's legacy while wearing said Batsuit is just as funny, especially with Jacob Tremblay's delivery:
    Robin: I'm ready to take up the mantle! [does his best imitation of the "Batman Voice"] I'm Batman!
• Twice Sy sets up a flashback to the end of The Vietnam War, only for someone to interrupt him, with Harley even forbidding flashbacks.
• Right after Harley kills Penguin, she turns to her group who are quite disturbed by how gruesome his death is and asks if they can get coffee like nothing happened. What really sells it is how sweet and innocent she sounds when she asks, like a little girl wanting ice cream.

Riddle U

• The Riddler's hideout is a university, he's the dean of the university, and he's voiced by Jim Rash.
• The fact that Clayface's Steph impression actually works, despite his overly dramatic mannerisms and not really changing his voice to a woman's. Harley even says it's some of his best character work.
  • It probably helps that his mannerisms aren't all that different from how a real college girl would act...
  • "Stephanie's" backstory involves her transferring from Chico State due to "some bitches" who drove her out, which she can't talk about due to the impending lawsuits.
  • Harley and Ivy have to constantly remind Clayface to focus and forget about some guy named Chad, which includes Ivy slapping his face so hard it deforms. When Ivy finally snaps she has this to say:
    Ivy: Oh my God, you're a fucking clay monster! Forget about Chad for five seconds and do your goddamn job!
• When Barbara orders her Waynebox to play loud music to drown out her speaking with Harley and Ivy, Harley and Ivy start dancing to it without missing a beat in their conversation.
• Barbara complains that she had to chug a beer to get the wristbands for the party.
• Both times Haley and Ivy go to remind each other that they should be looking for the Riddler, they (seemingly) immediately spot him just a short distance away.

Trapped

• Mr. Freeze's goons are boneheaded enough to tell Harley and the crew what can melt Mr. Freeze's ice as well as where to find it while arguing about not telling them. She even thanks them and asks them to text her any additional info if they remember something else.
• Ivy going from criticizing Selina to acting like she's talking to her crush.
  Ivy: You don't get it, Selina is so confident and cool, and somehow she just draws you in by being aloof. You know, you just see her and you're like "Ahh! I wanna be like that!" And then you see her wearing overalls and you're like "maybe I want overalls" and suddenly you have a closet full of overalls that don't look good on you!
  Harley: What the fuck are you talking about.
  • The way that she acts around Selina—being so enamored with her as to be self-conscious and oversharing, constantly singing her praises and fanatically agreeing with everything she says and does, and just generally acting like she's in love and doing things for her that would normally be uncharacteristic—is very reminiscent of how most people normally act under the influence of Ivy's pheromones in the main comics.
• While looking for the Riddler, Dr. Psycho tells Sy Borgman (who is patrolling the sky in his wheelchair) to shoot a tranquilizer at what he thinks is the Riddler. Sy's scope is cracked so he ends up shooting Psycho instead.
• Harley and Ivy have an honest, almost romantic heart-to-heart talk about what they want in life and where they are... While Ivy melts the board of directors for Ace Chemicals with their own runoff. The periodic agonized screams and panicked begging in the background of the moment is a hilarious contrast, as is Harley asking gleefully if she can "try one". The final two board members popping like gory fireworks is the cherry on the cake.

Thawed Hearts

• "Okay, everyone into the ice vagina."
  • Harley spending an entire tank worth of fuel in order to properly sculpt said vagina.
  • Clayface stating that the ice vagina reminds him of his mother.
• During the courtyard fight, Clayface shapeshifts into a snowman. This is so bizarre that a mook actually stops out of confusion before Clayface punches him out.
• For one who knows their comics and used to the show's darkly comedic tone, you (like Harley) might be fooled into thinking they've gone with Freeze's controversial New 52 backstory...which makes Nora's joy at being unfrozen and getting to reunite with her husband some incredible Black Comedy.
• When Mr. Freeze is emerging from the light, King Shark thinks it's Beyoncé, while Clayface thinks it's Lady Gaga. The pure unbridled excitement in Ron Funches ^note  King Shark's VA ' voice sells the moment.
  King Shark: OH, MY GOD, IT'S BEYONCÉ!
  Clayface: Oh, my God! It's Lady Ga-GAAAH!
• Mr. Freeze announces that he intends to use Harley as a test subject for his wife's illness, the test rats hug and say (subtitled) "We're Saved!".
• After retrieving the flower for Ivy to cure Nora with, Kite Man flies into Mr. Freeze's lair in a Big Damn Heroes moment. Except when retrieving it, he accidentally took a whiff of some paralytic flowers, which kick in just as he reaches the lair, causing him to crash through the window and land flat on his face, completely red from the toxin.

Batman's Back, Man

• Alfred tries to reassure Bruce that Commissioner Gordon has Gotham under control. Yeah, that's not the case.
• Even when he and Bane are the only remaining people at the Injustice League's table, Two-Face still won't let Bane sit on a corporate chair.
  • And later Bane's excitement when Two-Face gives him an actual corporate chair.
• Two-Face unveils a new poster to advertise his "alliance" with Bane. To Bane's annoyance, it's just a picture of himself.
  Bane: That's just a picture of you! I'm not even on the poster, this i- where's the fifty-and-fifty?
  Two-Face: What are you talking about? (points at the shadow behind his picture) That's you right there.
  Bane: No, that is a shadow. I was born there, but that's not me!
• Due to feeling inadequate about his injuries, Bruce starts acting just as petty and childish as his Will Arnett counterpart. He grumpily dislikes Batgirl's videos and later mocks Alfred for trying to give him advice - meanwhile, Alfred is not having it as usual and starts dealing with him as a parent deals with a moody teenager.
  Batman: If that little girl is killed while wearing [the Bat Logo], the city will lose hope!
  Alfred: Well, there's nothing you can do about it now, Master Wayne. You can barely make a solid bowel movement.
  • Later, this gem once Bruce starts going out despite Alfred's warning and makes things worse.
    Bruce: You can wipe that smug look off your face.
    Alfred: That's not smug. [raises an eyebrow slightly] This is smug.
    Bruce: [recoils] Devastating.
  • The continuing argument.
    Bruce: But if you think I'm too weak to get back out there and I'll fail, just say it.
    Alfred: You're too weak and will fail.
    Bruce: I'm strong, and will succeed!
  • Alfred also reminding Bruce that he's no pushover:
    Alfred: I'll have you know I was in Her Majesty's Royal Navy.
    Bruce: What did you guys fight over? [with a mocking British accent] Who gets the last scone?
    Alfred: On occasion, we did. Your ego is writing cheques your broken body cannot cash, sir. [leaves]
    Bruce: [with a mocking British accent] Your ego's writing cheques blah blah blah.
• Batgirl's social-media videos, giddy joy at meeting Batman, and even squicked awkwardness at the sight of Batman's injured legs, are all endearingly Adorkable.
  • Later, she immediately blows her identity to Gordon by calling him "Dad," which he miraculously doesn't notice. Batgirl later chalks this up to him being drunk.
• When Alfred forbids Bruce from going out and fighting crime with his new suit, he tries to take it away almost like a parent confiscating a toy. Unfortunately, it's very heavy, so Alfred struggles to move it and Bruce takes the opportunity to gloat by reminding him that the elevator is currently broken and he has to use the stairs to get it downstairs.
  • Earlier, Bruce tries to counter Alfred forbidding him to go out and be Batman by having Lucius back him up. Lucius immediately leaves. You can also see him making the "no" gesture behind Alfred's back as Bruce keeps Digging Himself Deeper.
• The mere fact that Bane was able to beat Batman, something plenty of his rogues would have savored, and he's more hung up over the fact that Two-Face erected a sign without including him on it.
  • "RRRRGH! I KNEW IT WAS TOO MUCH OF A THINKER!" [Proceeds to beat Batman's ass]
  • The kid throwing away his Batman action figure in disappointment when he sees his hero lose, something that would normally be milked for pathos on a more conventional show. Here? He sadly grabs one of Two-Face's tommy guns, so disillusioned that he's now resigned himself to a life of crime.
• The episode opens and closes by mocking the absolute shit out of the racist, sexist, toxic fans who are constantly complaining about "virtue signaling" and "ruining the fandom" for everyone else.
  • One of the fans claims to have never seen the show, but he has written an online review panning it, and had heard there was a "Three Episode Arc" where Harley took down the Penguin, the Riddler, and Mr. Freeze "With her Mary Sue Powers."
  • The more toxic fan then makes the argument of why would he watch a show set in Gotham City that hardly has Batman in it. His friend points out he watched all 5 seasons of Gotham.
  • At the end of the episode, his major complaint was "Batgirl should have smiled more". Made funnier since Batgirl spent nearly the whole episode smiling.
  • And the last insult to these fans? They decide to watch the next episode, only they can't because of the "Ridiculous Distribution Model" of the DC Universe App.

All The Best Inmates Have Daddy Issues

• Harley recognizes the bartender. Ivy doesn't believe it at first, so Harley snaps a picture and applies slapdash photo editing to give him his trademark clown makeup... badly. Ivy immediately sees it.
• Harley tells Ivy the Joker always took her lipstick. Apparently the Clown Prince of Crime wasn't man enough to buy his own lipstick.
• During Harley and the Riddler's first meeting, he used to have long hair, then he notices his brush has strands of hair.
  Riddler: Riddle me this! Who's in over her head and should have majored in communication?
  Harley: Joke's on you! That was my minor.
  Riddler: Joke was on me...
• Harley's first experience with Batman's Stealth Hi/Bye and the nonchalance of Gordon and Dent about it.
• Even years before, Gordon still tried to include Batman in his social life.
  • The awkward car ride in the Batmobile.
• Dr. Psycho probes the amnesiac Joker's mind while they're both at the urinal.

There's No Place to Go But Down

• When Harley complains it's a Kangaroo Court, Bane (who's the judge) reassures them he will be unbiased, much to Two-Face's annoyance as he admits that it's actually true.
  • The fact that their defense attorney is Man-Bat, and while Langstrom is smarter than in other versions, and is actually good at his job, he can't speak human.
    Bane: Does anyone speak bat? I want to sustain or overrule, but it's indecipherable.
• When Bane pushes Harley and Ivy down the pit, he reassures a couple of Two-Face's goons that he put padding at the bottom. He then jumps too, cannonball style.
• There's a bit of hilarious irony in the fact that Bane's pit does more for rehabilitating Gotham's criminals than any amount of time spent in Arkham Asylum.
• Ivy's breakdown on protecting the environment being broken down by Harley by pointing out heroes that do the things Ivy is complaining about.
  Ivy: Who's gonna protect the rainforest?
  Harley: Swamp Thing.
  Ivy: Who's gonna defend the great barrier reef?
  Harley: Aquaman.
  Ivy: Who's gonna write letters to the network when they're trying to decide whether to renew Love It Or List It?
  Harley: Some loser.
• Bane punishes Harley by not letting her participate in the talent show for not making her bed.
• While Gordon goes full-blown One-Man Army on Two-Face's gang, Barbara asks him from outside the building if he still doesn't need any help, which he answers "yes".
• Victor Zsasz in general. He gets inspired by Ivy's heartfelt speech on stage, culminating with this zinger:
  Zsasz: We're talented group - if we work together, we can escape. Also, if you don't chip in - I'll stab you.
  • The way he casually backstabs inmates is another example of black comedy.
    (Stabs one guy) You get a shiv. (Stabs another guy) You get a shiv! (Stabs yet another guy) You get a shiv!
• The predictable follows after Harley and Ivy's Big Damn Kiss as they simply stare at each other in horror and confusion, considering that Ivy is engaged - and that kind of relationship between them must have never entered their minds before.

Inner (Para) Demons

• Harley tries to dance around the fact that she and Ivy kissed by saying she is just spontaneous and likes to kiss people. Throughout the episode, she kisses Psycho, Batgirl, and King Shark. Psycho is grossed out, Batgirl is confused, and Shark just giggles and blushes.
• The sheer fact that Harley decides to start working for Darkseid rather than actually thinking about the fact she might potentially have a romantic interest in Ivy.
• Speaking of, the fact that Darkseid notices that Harley is trying to fill a void in her life. He's not even a jerk about it, he's genuinely advising her.
• Darkseid casually kills Forager by crushing his head in one hand, holds it up so the head (with the spine still connected) breaks off from the body, then flings it away, takes out a white handkerchief, and wipes his hand, without missing a beat during his speech to Harley.
• Gordon had an image of Clayface's severed and sentient arm, with whom he bonded, tattooed on his left upper arm along with the words 'Never Forget'
• Barbara manages to accidentally talk both Harley and Gordon into escalating their war by getting armies.
• When Dr. Pyscho explains his plans to Clayface and King Shark about being drunkards, Clayface acts like a drunk guy while making silly faces until Psycho slaps Clayface across the face and tells him to shut up, which results in Clayface having a funny-looking face with both his eyes and mouth sticking out.

Bachelorette

• The fact that every vehicle used on Themyscira is invisible, and the Running Gag of birds crashing into them.
• The Hypocritical Humor of Frank the Plant saying a talking lobster is totally crazy. And as soon as King Shark leaves with the lobster, Clayface says the whole situation was weird.
• The parody of "Under The Sea" that is essentially telling King Shark that the ocean is the best toilet.
  • King Shark being distracted from the song by the fact that some of the sea life singing it are old friends he hasn't seen in years.
• When Nora Fries and Maxie Zeus start making out, Catwoman casually picks Maxie's pocket.
• Jennifer going full psycho when she learns that the mimosas aren't bottomless. The highlight is her tearing out an Amazon's throat with her teeth.
• Ivy's rather... creative swearing upon her and Harley's Bedmate Reveal.
  "Oh shit pisscakes of a dick!"
  "Shit fuck for the ding of fuck nuts!"
• Ivy drunkenly got a tattoo of "Cobb Squad" on her arm and is visibly disappointed when she sees none of the other ladies got one.
• Queen Hippolyta announces that to celebrate their freedom, they're gonna have a "fucking rager" in a queenly tone.
• When King Shark walks away from the arranged marriage, his final statement is that he likes pooping in the toilet, which appalls everyone else.

Dye Hard

• Harley's frustrations at being stuck with the amnesiac Joker, who's completely oblivious to how obnoxious she finds him.
• Harley repeatedly uses that old cartoon gimmick of hitting the amnesiac, except in this case to prevent the amnesia from reversing.
• Gordon being annoyed that Batman doesn't let him fly the Bat-Plane and he can only press the button that catches the Parademons.
  • Meanwhile at the Batcave, Alfred gives Bruce a cup of hot tea, and the Dark Knight waits until Alfred cools it by blowing at it for him.
• Harley shoots a mook with a cancer ray. (that is, a gun that literally gives people cancer).
  Carl: Harley Quinn...you gave me cancer?
  Harley: Why would they even make this?!
  Carl: That's it, Kev, I'm gonna spend the holidays with my kids! (runs off)
  Harley: I'm so sorry!
  • What makes this more hilarious is that just seconds before she shoots Carl with the cancer ray, they were literally trying to kill each other, and then just stops as soon as Carl is shot with the cancer ray.
• Clayface's whole Mistaken for Gay concerning Dr. Psycho and the Riddler's new partnership.
• Harley's response to The Riddler's riddle when they fight.
  Riddler: What's black and blue and red all over? Your ass when I beat it!
  Harley: I guess when the abs get harder, the riddles get dumber.

A Fight Worth Fighting For

• Harley interrupts Joker's maniacal laughter by slapping him in the face several times and demanding to know where is the book.
• Batman's computer pulls up files on Joker and Harley. Joker's crimes include Arson, Murder, and Cattle Rustling, while Harley's include Murder, Nuclear Intimidation, and Digital Piracy.
• Black Comedy for sure, but a Parademon is seen eating an arm and refuses to share it with another Parademon.
• Joker's girlfriend Bethany slaps him several times and insults him in Spanish.
• When Dr. Psycho calls Darkseid, Darkseid recognizes him as the dwarf who would speak a word Darkseid himself would not. Yes, Darkseid, the closest thing the DC universe has to a God of Evil, one whose main goal is to erase the very concept of free will and to turn all of existence into nothing more but his brainwashed slaves, would never dare utter such a slur.
  • "Darkseid IS... late for a meeting."
• Doctor Psycho's backstory might not seem too funny at first, but tying it into his Freudian Excuse is, if only due to the Insane Troll Logic at hand. Witnessing so many people die due to a Ferris wheel accident, feeling a rush of pure sadistic euphoria?
  Psycho: And that's when I decided to hate women.
  Darkseid: I'm not sure that tracks.
  Psycho: But, you get where I'm coming from.
  Darkseid: I will end this transmission now.
• Apparently being trapped for months inside Queen of Fables' book was traumatizing for the Justice League since they were forced to listen to the same stories over and over.
  • After being freed, Flash tries to run, only to smash against the door, since he's been out of practice for months.

Lover's Quarrel

• Wonder Woman uses the Lasso of Truth to interrogate a Parademon about Psycho's whereabouts, but she doesn't understand the Parademon's shrieks, so she turns to Superman for a translation. Superman is offended that she would assume he, as an alien, would understand this alien's language, and while he does speak a little Parademon, he still complains that she made a racist assumption.
  • Made more hilarious by Wonder Woman rolling her eyes... and the Parademon being just as angry as Superman about her making such an assumption.
• A random citizen records Superman after fighting Ivy:
  Superman: Looks like Ivy should have... hedged her bet.
  Citizen: Meh.
• Harley's outraged annoyance that Clayface actually has the power to fight one-on-one with the likes of the Big Three of the Justice League.

  Harley: Are you shitting me, Clayface? You could change into this at any time and chose dipsy coeds and divorcees?!

• At one point, Psycho uses Ivy to speak for him, and she speaks with his whiny nasally voice.
• Ivy using her love pheromones on Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman is really funny, especially given how serious they usually are. Or maybe it's Squick.
  • To whit, while Superman seems in love with himself, Batman and Wonder Woman are suddenly really into each other (cue flashbacks for anyone who shipped them back in Justice League), to Harley's disgust in both cases.
    Batman: Wonder Woman, you look banging.
• Sy Borgman's speech buffering when his consciousness is transferred into Kite-Man's high-definition TV screen.
• Kite Man's plan to break Ivy from Psycho's mind control is True Love's Kiss. It doesn't work and he gets vine-punched across the room. When Harley kisses Ivy to break the control, it DOES work, but only because Psycho gets aroused and distracted by seeing two women make out.
  Riddler: [at Psycho] What are you, thirteen?!
• "Darkseid IS... leaving."
  • Really, the comedy is the mood whiplash in "leaving" as Darkseid suddenly sounds going home from work on a Friday relaxed and pleasant. Also, no-longer-mind-controlled Ivy is not even phased by the presence of an almighty being; she just nudges him to get out of sight.
  • On that note, Darkseid of all people fails to grasp that "Chuck" is a regular human name. And he's legitimately puzzled by phrase "S my V" uttered by Ivy towards Psycho.
• In an act of spite for his defeat, Psycho broadcasts a memory of Harley and Ivy having sex for all of Gotham to see. Clayface and Shark are stunned, Bane (still sitting at the bottom of his pit) notes how their chemistry was always palpable, Gordon and Batgirl cover each other's eyes, Joker comments on how Harley is still limber, and Alfred closes the curtains... only to peek out briefly again. After Psycho finishes broadcasting to Gotham, he asks for a cigarette and then passes out.

The Runaway Bridesmaid

• The Mayor of Gotham honors the heroes who helped save Gotham City by giving them City Keys. But while Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman did help, he also gives keys to Vibe, Space Cabbie, and Tommy Tomorrow. Gordon can't help but lampshade it.
  Gordon: The fuck are these guys?
• Ivy tells Kite-Man that Condiment King and his fiancee gave them the venue, when in fact she had Frank the Plant eat them, but she assures him they are totally alive.
• Every police officer (including Cheryl) spits out the vegan donuts Gordon gave them in disgust when he informs them what they are.
• King Shark and Clayface mocking Kite Man's wedding for being very... hipster farmhouse. King Shark is astonished to see something this all in on an outdated aesthetic while Clayface compliments Kite Man for being so unoriginal.
  King Shark: Oh. oh, now this is majestic. It is very 2014 Pinterest.
  Clayface: Kite Man is a basic bitch through and through.
  King Shark: Look! He's drinking out of a mason jar!
• Harley punches the venue owner after mistaking him for Gordon (who was next to the owner disguised as the priest), causing the wedding photographer to faint.
• Clayface singing an opera song trying to impress Tim Burton while the entire wedding goes to hell. He doesn't stop even when Harley and Ivy run him over with their car. He simply reforms and continues singing.
  • He does the same thing earlier on when he gets knocked out with gas mid-song. When Harley's able to clear out the gas, he simply reforms and keeps on singing.
  • "Tim Burton" turns out to be some guy named Gary who just resembles Tim Burton, as Catwoman asks to leave after being creeped out by Clayface looking at them.
• While everything's on fire, Frank, who was locked in the flower truck by Gordon's men earlier, seems to be "pollinating" with all the flowers in the truck.
  Frank: It's pollen season in this bitch! IT'S POLLEN SEASON!!!!

Season 3

Harlivy

• The episode starts with Harley and Ivy having sex. Except it's revealed to be a porno with actresses who don't look all that much like Harley or Ivy. That the real Harley and Ivy are watching. On Superman's couch in the Fortress of Solitude. Harley and Ivy broke into the Fortress of Solitude just to watch porn on Superman's couch and eat his snacks.
  • Jor-El is the one who comes up with the "Harlivy" moniker. Also, Superman himself gets angry at the titular duo for subscribing to HBO Max without his permission.
• After Harley has kidnapped the Queen of England and then throws her out the Invisible Plane, she breezily claims she's got an invisible parachute. Ivy decides to accept it to move on.
• Harley and Ivy busting King Shark and Clayface out of prison.
  Clayface: You two look great!
  Harley: (sweetly) Thanks! We've been doing a lot of fucking!
• Gordon's mayoral debate goes completely off the rails and Two-Face facepalms at the idiocy. Cheryl, his own lieutenant points out how many problems Gotham has while he's blowing a fortune on the unnecessary gear for the police which he defends by saying it's paid for by taxing libraries.
• The ridiculous events that call back Cheryl's complaints (like kids driving buses) cause the mayor's fatal accident, and also cause a rat couple to get killed in front of their son and he is taken in by his rat butler.
  • Batrat spinoff when?
• Two porn actresses are sent as decoys of Harley and Ivy to Gordon and his officers. Gordon is completely willing to be fooled when they unconvincingly hit on him. When they're discovered, the cops (minus Gordon) get starstruck and ask for autographs.
• Clayface auditions for a Thomas Wayne biopic directed by James Gunn. He gets a job... as Gunn's chair.
  James Gunn: You look like a pile of shit but you feel like a pile of clouds!
• Amanda Waller flips off Harley and Ivy on her way out.

There's No Ivy in Team

• Batman calling Nightwing out on his overly brooding voice.
• Robin flipping Nightwing off as soon as he beats him to calling shotgun at the Batmobile.
• Nightwing very seriously saying "Fuck the Macaroni."
• Dick's total and over-the-top breakdown when his victory in the chess game just adds spikes to the deathtrap.
• Evidently Batman angsts about Crime Alley in front of Damian Wayne pretty often since he just pulls out his phone out of boredom.
• Bane's entire subplot about buying explosives to blow up Harley's mall hideout. Especially the payoff where the mall implodes on itself right before he gets the chance to blow it up.

The 83rd Annual Villy Awards

• Harley's past experience with the Villy Awards has not been good; she and Joker would win Best Couple every year, but he would never let her participate in the acceptance speech. He even brought one of his henchmen one year instead of her.
  Harley: (angrily) ...DEAN...
  • Dean even gets a shoutout when Joker accepts Harlivy's Best Couple award.
• Ivy agrees to go to the Villy Awards as long as she gets to drink three Long Island Iced Teas (no ice).
• Ivy's anxiety while walking the red carpet.
  Harley: But you love walking!
• Joker is hosting the show and for entertainment has lined up Sinestro, Solomon Grundy, and Kevin Spacey. His dance and song routine parodies the terribly cringy intros to award shows. It starts with him about to beat a fake Jason Todd to death!
• Harley tries to make small talk with Codpiece, who accidentally smacks Toyman with his codpiece in the face.
• Bane assumes things are awkward at the table because Ivy won't return the pasta maker rather than Kiteman and Ivy's broken engagement.
• Catwoman winning the honorary award... And then making the acceptance speech all about how she only got the award because she's black, to a room full of awkward-looking supervillains, bringing up that they have never given a trophy to a black supervillain in the 80 years they have been doing the event, no matter how much they deserve it. She also mentions Black Manta has been a standout for years but never gotten a reward, who applauds when she storms off.
  The Joker: He's Black?!?
  • Also, said award is call the 'Joe Chill Honorary Award'
  • Note how Reverse-Flash also looks uncomfortable. Clearly some problems refuse to die even hundreds of years in the future. That, and the man who spends his entire life tormenting the Flash Family in unbelievably horrendous and monstrous ways, the talk about race is what causes him to pause.

A Thief, A Mole, An Orgy

• In a world of supervillains, Henry Kissinger is considered more evil than all of them, and Gordon takes his continued survival as proof that God doesn't exist.
  • With the passing of Henry Kissinger on November 29, 2023, the joke about "God striking people down" from a later episode actually makes more sense.
• The Joker, Gotham's most notorious supervillain, helping his stepson with his homework. And ranting at Common Core.
• The Court of Owls' secret password is... "Hoot Hoot." Also, Joker freely gives his old masks to Harley and Ivy because it saves him a trip to Goodwill.
  • Harley compares the aforementioned password with using one's own name as a password, only for Ivy to point out Harley uses her name for every password.
• Bane tries to have a heart-to-heart with Harley, but he's easily brushed off as always.
• Joker describes the Court of Owls as, "a bunch of old straight white dudes jerking each other off." Since it turns out they were hosting an orgy that night, turns out that was very much Not Hyperbole.
• Bane missing the Court's massive orgy because he couldn't get his suit off and because he decided to carbo load with an enormous sandwich.
• The idea of Gordon going undercover at an orgy, meeting Bruce Wayne there, and attempting to blackmail him.

It's a Swamp Thing

• Nora Fries has turned into a man-hungry widow who gets around like a high-octane man. She even does it with Swamp Thing in the episode.
  • In one scene, she flashes her breasts at a New Orleans airport, believing it's the thing to do there. Harley and Ivy are shocked.
• Harley's quest for beignets throughout the episode continuously taking stumbles, particularly when Swamp Thing gets pissed and pulls the beignet truck underground.
• Bruce and Selina have to undergo couples therapy under Music Meister, meaning they are forced to sing their emotions.
  Selina: You can eat my... (sung) aaaaaassssss!
  • Bruce Wayne is an awful singer. Just listen to him.

Joker: The Killing Vote

• The Joker as a sitcom dad.
• Joker made an arroz con pollo for Debbie that she eats in a few seconds. As he incredulously notes after the fact, there were bones in it that she didn't pick out that weren't in the empty dish.
• Gotham's previous mayor dying immediately after Gordon says "May God strike you down".
• During Joker's attempt to steal from the 1% crowd to give to normal citizens in an attempt to improve his publicity one of Joker's goons shoots another, causing Joker to tell him "they're not doing this Reservoir Dogs shit". Later on at the parade, the same goon shoots another member of Joker's crew yet again.
  • During the interview, Joker gleefully lampshades his version of a Corrupt Politician:
  The Joker: Some mayoral candidates take bribes from big money. I'm skipping the bribe part and just taking the money!
• When Two-Face decides to kill the Joker and his son even though the Joker agreed to his demands Gordon is shocked, Two-Face, on the other hand, is annoyed that Gordon still doesn't get the implication of Two-Face's name.
• Benecio mistaking Gordon for Superman at first:
  Joker: Oh, no. It's just Gordon, keep screaming, son.
• At the end, Bethany runs over Two-Face and rants about "turning him into 'One-Face'". Joker cheerfully says to Benecio that his mother's here and gets her to step down from her rampage by taking everyone out for tacos.
• Near the end of the episode, Harley and Ivy have finally returned from New Orleans... only to find out that Joker is now the mayor.
  Ivy: We were gone for four days!
  • What adds to the funny is how the pair are dressed◊ when they return, looking like they were at Mardi Gras.
• Just the fact that Joker's entire story arc in this episode is driven by his feud with Debbie, who is basically a poster child for Karens everywhere.

Another Sharkley Adventure

• Catwoman mentions her stolen Picasso, and it turns out to be an urn with the ashes of Picasso.
• Ocean Master turning out to be a Nerd in Evil's Helmet.
• Harley kidnapping Bruce Wayne:
  Harley: Who has two thumbs to break and a whole set of teeth to yank out? This guy.
• When Harley and Batgirl are kidnapped by Mad Hatter's goons, Harley mistakes it for immersive theater.
• Apparently, the Shark Kingdom has Christianity, complete with Shark Jesus.
• Just the fact that King and Prince themselves don't look saddened by their father's death in the slightest. Whenever the community expresses condolences to them, the brothers reminisce all of his jerkass moments (for example, being hooked up on bunk abalone venom during the battle against Atlanteans).
  • This zinger:
    Prince: Soon enough, the Kingdom will be no more, and I'll be free of all this bullshit. I am psyched!
    King: Totally, yeah! I mean— wait, what?

Batman Begins Forever

• When Harley, Ivy, Psycho, and Clayface first arrive to Bruce's mental world, they get sidetracked by confusing Joe Chill's name with Joe Cool and Joe Camel.
• While in the mental world, Clayface tries to get inspiration for his performance as Thomas Wayne from Bruce's memory of the man. The problem is, they're stuck in a loop of the night he and Martha Wayne died, meaning Clayface is running from alley to alley trying to get to Thomas Wayne before he gets shot.
  Clayface: Thomas, help me get into character! How are you feeling just moments before your death?
  Thomas Wayne: My wha- (Is shot)
  • Later, after being ejected from the Mental World, Clayface excitedly runs to call James Gunn. He comes back just as the Bat-Family gasses the room.
    Clayface: HUZZAH! We saved the movie! We can CGI the mustache in post! (Sniffs the gas) That's not good. (Faints)
• This exchange as Harley is trying to get Kid!Bruce to open up:
  Kid Bruce: I don't trust clowns with secrets.
  Harley: I am barely clown-themed anymore. I just think I look hot like this. I mean, check out how good these booty shorts make my ass look, right?
  [Harley gives her ass a small pat, then sees Kid!Bruce make an awkward face at her]
  Harley: Never mind, you're eight.
• Bruce reveals how despite being the World's Greatest Detective, he's not totally in touch with the common man.
  Harley: But you know, if you truly wanted to help Gotham... Why not start with affordable housing?
  Kid Bruce: (genuinely confused) People pay for housing?!
  Harley: (completely unamused expression, raises an eyebrow)
• While escaping from Joe Chill in the "memory tunnel", Harley finds herself in the role of Robin (costume included) in one of Bruce's memories, tied to a rocket. Not only is she unable to swear, she ends up face to face with her old self and her "Puddin".
  • When Batman shows up to save Harley, the one-liner he says is...Interesting.
    Batman: Put me down for the fish!
    Joker: You're not supposed to order the fish, they just put it on the menu to not seem cheap!
  • And during the resulting fight...
    Harley: Hey, you never told me stopping baddies was this much fun! Being a hero is supposed to be lame.
    Batman: (punches Joker into a strength testing machine) It has its moments. Costume looks good on you, Quinn.
    Harley: You don't think the shorts are too short? I know I like to show off a little somethin', but come on, this is a thong. (covers her butt with her cape)
• When it turns out that Bruce's mental cognition of Joe Chill is actually his adult self in disguise, there's some hilarious moments that break up an otherwise dramatic scene.
  • In the middle of Chill Bruce's Motive Rant, after mentioning the Mark of Zorro, this exchange happens. The music even stops at this point!
    Harley: To think all this trauma from an Antonio Banderas film...
    Chill Bruce: No, that's the '90s one, I'm talking about the black and whi— it doesn't matter.
  • Chill Bruce threatens to shoot Harley dead if she doesn't give up his child self. Harley immediately points out the hypocrisy.
    Harley: I thought your rule was no guns.
    Chill Bruce: I mean, the real me is against it, but the mind me is flexible.
  • And then comes this piece of Black Comedy...
    Chill Bruce: (absolutely cheerfully to Kid Bruce) Come on, champ! Let's go watch our parents die. It's what we deserve!
    Harley: As I said, very fucked up.
• When Harley is shocked to learn that the billionaire Bruce Wayne is Batman, Kid Bruce just snarks that if that surprises her, then Superman's real identity will blow her mind.
  • During Harley's shocked revelation of Bruce being Batman, she questions HOW he could be Batman before acknowledging he could easily pay for all of Batman's equipment and keeps on disappearing from parties when villains appear...then concludes that it's actually really obvious.

Climax At Jazzapajizza

• When Bruce introduces Damian to his reanimated zombie parents, Damian just wordlessly gets up and walks away.
• When Frank warns everyone not to come into contact with the zombies' vomit, Dr. Psycho wonders "hypothetically" what could happen if they're exposed to it. Everyone wonders if this just happened to him. To this, he denies it, assuring it's just for a friend. ...before his nose painfully grows into a tree branch! Clayface even remarks this Visual Pun is "a little on the nose" even for him.
  • Although it's nightmarish on its own, the horror of watching Dr. Psycho turn into a tree monster is somewhat undercut by how he goes through the process cussing up a storm like a sailor, as though he were complaining over an exceptionally stubbed toe.
• Frank referring to Bruce Wayne as the "definition of white privilege".
• Swamp Thing implores Poison Ivy to do the right thing with the power of the Green. However, what makes Ivy continue with her plan is Swamp Thing saying Poison Ivy should still do the right thing even if a billionaire was the one who ruined her original plan. Swamp Thing immediately realizes the fault of his speech afterwards.
• The way Ivy utters the phrase "Now... let's go terraform this motherfucker!". Props to Lake Bell going dramatic on the first part, then sounding excitable on "motherfucker" part.
• While operating the Batplane, Harley motivates herself with a photo of Ivy trying to block the shot while coming out of the shower. She talks to the photo several times.
• King Shark tells Bruce he won't judge him for causing a zombie apocalypse just because he wanted to revive his parents... until he realizes Bruce's parents died quite a while ago and Bruce still isn't dealing with his trauma in a healthy way.
  King Shark: Okay. Now I am judging. It feels like you should be much further along than this. I mean, you're obsessed about the past and missing out on the present and also starting a zombie apocalypse.
• Bane thinking that Harley jumping in front of projectile zombie puke that would have hit him was a Heroic Sacrifice on her part for him, allowing him to finally drop his grudge over the pasta maker.
• Ivy undoes her grand plan to save Harley from turning into a plant zombie. Harley is happy that everything is over. Ivy... not so much.
  Ivy: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

The Horse and the Sparrow

• The last episode ended with Ivy's Atomic F-Bomb, and this one starts with her finishing with "...UUUUUUUUUUCK!"
  • What's especially hilarious is that the Previously on… segment is focused entirely on Ivy's original screaming of the F-word being cut off by the previous episode's conclusion, just so they can cut to Ivy's curse word being finished.
• Poison Ivy's brand new Evil Costume Switch has caused her to become the subject of many a Male Gaze and many compliments.
• Poison Ivy's routine grocery shopping gets interrupted by none other than Lex Luthor. Who is still taking care of his pet in the middle of chatting.
  • This zinger:
  Luthor: Suffice it to say, the scale of potential devastation was enough to make even me soil my boxer briefs.
  Ivy: And you don't shit your pants for anything.
  Luthor: That is correct. Well... was.
• Harley convinces Nightwing to give her a chance as a member of the team by reassuring him he will still have the nicest ass of the group. This convinces him.
• The title refers to the dying speech Clayface gives as Thomas Wayne in the film. It essentially says that a horse eats so that sparrows can feast upon its feces. Hoo boy...
  Clayface as Billy Bob Thornton as Thomas Wayne: Anything is possible through (Overdramatic coughing) generational wealth.
  • Observant viewers will note that the CG mustache often becomes askew on his face. Clayface boasts that it cost $12 million. Despite the fact that he could've easily grown the facial hair in a moment via shapeshifting.
  • For a fraction of a second, the film's creators are listed as Pretentious Award Fucker Productions.
• La Cucaracha returns when Joker's men arrive at the theater.
  • Joker himself successfully arrests Bruce Wayne for tax evasion. Amongst the other charges are international omission, manipulation, and alteration of accounting records.
  Frank: He's also guilty for being a thief and a bitch!
• Harley is officially welcomed into the Bat Family. They use grappling hooks to move across the city - but she can't follow them. Her response?
  Harley: Thanks for waiting, you fucking dildos! (Beat) I'll take the stairs.

Special

A Very Problematic Valentine's Day Special

• Ivy telling Clayface that he is being catfished. What was the big giveaway? The fact that "Jerry from Hoboken, New Jersey" is using a picture of Jason Momoa as his profile pic.
  • Clayface going to meet his date at a "secret vegan coffee shop"...in Crime Alley.
  • And, predictably, it turns out that Clayface was being catfished. By Captain Boomerang. Who went through a lot of effort just to mug somebody. And Clayface can't understand his accent.
• The insane amount of effort Harley goes through to make sure that Ivy has the best Valentine's Day she's ever had, up to and including:
  • Taking Ivy to her favorite restaurant and treating her to a meal that basically amounts to the vegan lasagna meatball equivalent of turducken.
  • Cooking up a plot involving gangsters stealing the recipe of said meal for an evil oil executive.
  • Kidnapping said evil oil executive and threatening to kill him if he didn't play along...only for Ivy to eventually turn him into Ludicrous Gibs anyway.
  • Stealing Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth and using it on Ivy to learn why the best Valentine's Day Ivy's ever had courtesy of Harley was only in the "Top Three."
  • Buying a magic spell from Etrigan the Demon that would allow her to give Ivy the best sex she has ever had.
  • And, as it turns out, it was practically All for Nothing as Ivy's idea of a great Valentine's Day is to curl up on a couch with Harley and watch HBO.
• Harley interrupts Diana's Valentine's evening wearing a Paper-Thin Disguise to trick her into rushing off to Themyscira so she can grab the Lasso of Truth. Despite the fact that her story is incredibly implausible in every way and Harley's explanations to her questions are even sillier, she buys it. The kicker? Harley bought a Cameo from Diana's mother which starts with a call for help that convinces Diana to leave....and the rest of the video is revealed to be a happy Quinceañera wish.
• Speaking of magical sex spells, it turns out that magic, plus mind-blowing orgasms, plus Ivy's pheromones are a dangerous combination. Hilarity Ensues.
• Betty the Dominatrix, first mistaking Bane for another sex worker, then throwing him a hypothetical that basically asks if she would feel it in the morning if he were to torture her anally. His response?
  Bane: (confused) It would be extremely painful... for you.
  Betty: You're gonna do great! (spanks his ass playfully)
• Bane insisting that he has an adequately large penis — it's just that it looks small in comparison to how big the rest of him is.
  • So he goes to Etrigan to buy a...ahem...enhancement meant to enlarge him. Oh, he is enlarged, alright. Throw in Ivy's magically-enhanced sex pheromones and you have a kaiju-sized Bane who is so uncontrollably horny that he is practically compelled to have sex with anything and everything that can...accommodate him. Namely, half the buildings in Gotham City, including an amphitheatre that looks suspiciously enough like somebody's backside.
  Brett Goldstein: (as Kaiju!Bane is...attacking...the amphitheatre as he was performing at) Everyone, calmly head for the nearest exit. Do not gawk at the large testicles swinging like wrecking balls. (later, to a crowd, after Kaiju!Bane is turned off) The event promoters have informed me that refunds do not apply to massive, homicidal bell-ends. I'm so sorry. I wish I could do something. I am but one human man.
• Throughout the episode there are 'how couples met' interviews, and there is something Crossing the Line Twice funny about Darkseid giving the keynote speech for the Republican National Convention.
  • He locked eyes with Melania Trump and demanded that she be his queen or else be destroyed. She in turn asked for his last three bank statements, and he fell in love.

Season 4

Gotham's Hottest Hotties

• Poison Ivy's brief Previously on… segment.
  "Last time on Harley Quinn... I got my Green on. Batman created zombies instead of going to therapy, for fuck's sake... Joker became the Mayor. I went CEO at the LOD. And Harley? She joined the Bat Fam. All right, y'all caught up?"
• In order to catch Professor Pyg, Harley talks Nightwing into doing a photoshoot and livestream for Gotham Magazine, as he was recently voted #2 on Gotham's "Hottest Hotties" list for his nice butt and Pyg has been killing people on that list to steal their body parts. While Nightwing is initially very reluctant about having to show off his "juicy caboosey" for a live audience, he at least plays along pretty well. With very little effort, Pyg manages to kidnap Nightwing anyway.
  • Harley's stage directions to Nightwing during the photoshoot are pretty funny on their own, especially since she's pretending to be an Italian photographer and all her directions are Italian-themed:
    Harley: You're three splits deep and it's sunset on the Rialto when your lover calls your name. Turn around and smolder. I said smolder! Gorgeous. Okay, now you've lost your job at the olive oil factory and Mama tries to comfort you, pulling you into her ample bosom. Okay, now serve me young co-ed studying in Naples for the summer. Yes!

B.I.T.C.H.

• The episode begins with Nightwing chastizing Harley for breaking the "No killing" rule. As she notes how easy it is for her to forget, the Bat Family repeatedly points out obvious signs scattered across the Batcave. What ultimately convinces her? A singing sword fish named Talkative Teddy Tilapia.
  Harley: Songs stick in this old bean! You should have started with the fish.
  (Nightwing facepalms in frustration)
• Talia al Ghul, for all her success as a High-Powered Career Woman, is revealed to be extremely Maternally Challenged when it comes to being a parent to Damian. She expresses surprise that he's already out of diapers when he's 12 years old, and she later tries to buy a pacifier for him.
• The One-Scene Wonder salesgirl, first with her reaction to Talia asking for pacifiers for a 12-year-old, then revealing that she suffers allergies but suddenly is joyfully free of them thanks to Ivy's tree-switching operation, giving Talia a big corporate hiccup.
• Alfred's casual response to Harley threatening to "fuck [him] up".
  Alfred: I wish a bitch would try.
• The way Alfred deciphers the titular acronym: Breathe; Identify the Problem; Tea Break; Consider Your Options; Handle It.
  • Sure enough, Harley later becomes the BITCH — and uses the same actions later.
• Alfred robbed a bank — all in order to reunite with Bruce at the Blackgate Penitentiary. But then Zsasz throws him a curveball: anyone with stock portfolios can get there — the rest (like Alfred) are sent to Arkham Community Center for further rehabilitation.
  Alfred: Oh dear...

Icons Only

• The Hakarl Gumbo song.
  • Later on, Tabitha mentions that the correct recipe for such a dish must induce labor.
    King Shark: What? That's not in the song!
    Tabitha: Ugh, you must have listened to the radio edit...
  • Sure enough, the full version mentioning that part replaces the usual credits theme.
• Harley is frustrated that she can't be seen publicly participating in the evil deeds that Ivy and the other villains participate in now that she's a hero, so she picks up a new secret identity, consisting exclusively of a pink wig and changing her name to "Hargaret". Ivy is the only person who sees through the disguise.
• Clayface describes "Hargaret" as a "Vegas 6 in a tacky pink wig". Harley insists that she's at least a Gotham 8.
• Harley vandalizing a poster of Clayface reading "Sold Out" so it instead reads "Sell Out" and has Clayface surrounded by penises.
• After Tabitha gives birth to 9 cute little shark kids, the following dialogue occurs:
  Clayface: (to the audience) To celebrate this momentous day, I am gifting these new bebes front row seats to my show! (turns around to Ivy) Fuck. You.
  Ivy: (unfazed) You bitch.

The First Person to Come Back From a Business Conference Without Chlamydia

• Ivy joked to Lex in "Gotham's Hottest Hotties" that she hopes his rockets to the moon aren't shaped like a dick. This episode we get to see the space rocket. To describe it as phallic is an understatement.
  Ivy: Shit, that's like the most expensive dildo I've ever seen.
  Nora: I hope the clouds don't have a gag reflex!
  • Ivy takes a moment to snap some pictures with said rocket. She's even suggestively rubbing it.
  • After the rocket takes off, it makes a 180 spin and sprays steam from the tip to propel it to the moon.
    Nora: The sky is getting pregnant tonight!
  • Even the man on speaker is getting some funny lines, too.
    Man on speaker: For those of you who think this is funny, there's a scientific reason it has to be shaped like this.
    Ivy: Uh, what's with the pubes, dude?
    Man on speaker: Hey there! I can hear you. The antennas have to be coarse and wiry and on the balls... I mean, orbs.
• Lex and Talia have sex...of course, they're both too rich to have sex like normal people, so they're actually both using proxies, sitting in the next room behind a glass panel and drinking tea together, occasionally giving instructions over an intercom to the people who are having sex in their place.
  • For the cherry on top, the man looks suspiciously like Homelander, and Talia has her double shove a dildo up his ass.
  • The simple fact that Luthor insists his double wears a Superman cape during the act, and what that implies about their relationship.

Getting Ice Dick, Don't Wait Up

• After being forced into early retirement after Joker disbanded the police force, Gordon has decided to spend some romantic time with his wife... Only to drop everything after he gets a call from Nora offering a job as a security guard at the Legion of Doom.
  • Gordon's resume, which Nora found taped to a dartboard, is covered in coffee mug stains and blood and puts his only experience as Commissioner at the GCPD, where he "Catch bad guys" and "Send bad guys to the clink". He also puts Batman down as a reference and has "mustache" and "a little math" under his skills.
• Harley goes to get correct eye laser surgery. From Supergirl. And her Eye Beams.
• As far as Alysia, Babs' roommate is concerned, whenever she goes away for days for Bat Family work, she's working with her "swim team".
• After being abandoned in a cabin up a mountain by Gordon, his wife Barbara decides to spend some time with "The Ice Boys" (All the Ice-based villains) who are on a retreat. She leaves a note for her daughter, who dropped everything to go and rescue her, which gives us the title of the episode. She also asks her if she can look up "Does lube freeze".
  Harley: Does it?
  Barbara Jr/ Alysia: (In Sync) If it's water-based.

Metamorphosis

• While Nightwing's funeral is a very somber moment, it is offset by the sheer fact that he was buried face down and his coffin… has a huge ass chiseled into the wood much like Nightwing himself.
• How the Natural Disasters take off their disguises to prepare to fight the giant Jon. Terra flexes out her civilian outfit. Volcana burns out of trenchcoat and hat. Tefé... just flicks off their cap.
  • In a similar vein, how the Natural Disasters make their debut attacks.
  Terra: Let's rock. [Makes the giant statue of Ivy come to life to beat up Jon]
  Volcana: You look a little INFLAMED! [Uses her flames on Jon, causing his skin to be burnt and inflamed]
  Tefé: I need to work on a catchphrase, but here's my thing! [Uses the Red to make King Shark's babies attack Jon from the inside]

The Most Culturally Impactful Film Franchise of All Time

• Volcana's attempts to make Acronyms. Ivy rejects "ABOI" (Always be Owning It) because it has B.O. in the middle. She then tried "ABST" (Always Be Stealing Time-Spheres).
  • Volcana admits Ivy is better at the acronyms after she says "BRB".
• Harley and Ivy time travel to a Bad Future and discover La Résistance, led by their future daughter...Neytiri. Apparently, in the intervening 20 years Avatar has exploded in popularity, becoming the titular most culturally impactful film franchise.
  • Harley refuses to believe that she named her daughter Neytiri, and it's eventually revealed that Neytiri named herself, to Harley's glee because she's glad she and Ivy didn't pick that stupid name. Neytiri insists her name rules and Cheryl agrees and wishes she had that name, but Harley tells them the name sucks and she's going to change Neytiri's name to Princess Ladyfingers.
  • Harley and Ivy being totally supportive mommas to their daughter, to Neytiri and her group's annoyance.
  • Neytiri betrays Harley and Ivy to Damian for... a bag of dirt...which she naturally calls Unobtanium.
  • Even 25 years later in an apocalyptic future, Cheryl has more Joker Immunity than even Joker.

Il Buffone

• The whole of the B-Story of Bane visiting Italy to get a replacement handle for the pasta maker.
  • Bane's Italian is a mix of a basic understanding of the most common Italian words and Super Mario. He introduces himself to some kids with "It's-a-me! Banio!" The kids are amused because he said his name is "Toilet".
• Lex Luthor getting angry at the assistant of his Ozone fixing ray because the ray is 10 feet out of range of Earth. Because he doesn't say 10 feet, he says "304 centimetres". Super genius Lex Luthor doesn't understand the metric system.
• The reveal of Lex's plan at the end of the episode. Lex blocked out the sun to de-power Superman. In a desperate panic, Superman asks if we still have tanning salons "as a culture".
  Ivy: Did Lex do all this just to fuck Superman?
  Harley: I've done worse to fuck less - but still, that is some petty shit.

Potato Based Cloning Incident

• The cloned version of Harley describes herself as "5 percent potato, 95 percent you". Guess what she turns into after being thrown off a building at the end of the episode?
  Random pedestrian: Hey, they're giving away free mashed taters. Kids, get your spoons!
  • Initially, real Harley doesn't even believe how her counterpart came to be. All it takes for her is to taste the secreting liquid from her clone's face.
    Harley: Mmm... melted butter. It all tracks.
• "I'm the boss, baby. And don't misquote me on that. I said, "Boss - comma - baby".
  • Sure enough, Lex keeps reminding Ivy about photosynthesis. She snaps back at him with "I understand photosynthesis, you shitprick!"
• After the Ozone fixing ray is deactivated, Captain Cold is among the first characters who gets "colorized" back to normal. Sure enough, he checks his pants:
  Captain Cold: My walnuts are back to being royal blue!

Killer’s Block

• All it takes for Bruce to be released from Blackgate is promising the judge that his niece gains admission to a Wayne college. Alfred then excitedly arrives at the prison to be reunited with Bruce, only for him to walk past Alfred assuming he was there to pick him up.
