Let’s face it; this show has a lot of funny moments throughout
- In "Rhymes with "Gato"", when Maya and Miguel end up having to hide the presence of a lost duck from the landlord (how they wound up with said duck is a long story), the duck's quacking is at first mistaken for Miguel passing gas (which naturally results in a Luminescent Blush) and is then covered up by Miguel claiming that he and Maya like to play a game called "Hide and Quack". When the confused adults leave, Maya gives her brother a Fascinating Eyebrow as she asks "Hide and Quack?", to which he claims to have panicked. When the quacking is joined by meowing from Chrissy's new cat (who is part of the aforementioned long story), Miguel sheepishly asks if the adults will believe that they also like to play "Pin the Tail on the Cat", prompting a You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me! look from Maya.
- In "I Got to be Mi-guel", Maya is constantly annoyed by Miguel getting over his head that he's the coolest guy around.Maya: Aah! You guys are driving me nuts!
Miguel: Not cool.
Tito: Not cool.
Paco: Definitely not cool.
Maya: I created a monster. - In "The Autograph", Maya and Miguel chasing a baseball player while wearing a moose costume. Guess what animal the baseball player doesn't seem to like?Maya: He's getting away!
Miguel: Maya, he's not a criminal. - In "The Bet", Maya shutting her mouth so she wouldn't "meddle" by helping Miguel answer a question for him in class.
- In "The Big Fight", Maya tries to get Miguel and Theo to talk to each other by tricking them into coming to the same place. But it always ends with disaster, which Miguel and Theo blame each other for it. Maya becomes frustrated at how worse it's getting.
- Any time Miguel tries (and ultimately fails) to talk Maya out of whatever she's planning. He knows exactly what will happen and he isn't looking forward to it one bit.
- Maya breaks a sugar skull of her grandmother's and is distraught over it. Not funny. Andy and Theo tell her stories about how her grandmother will be heartbroken/furious, which is sad, but then both cap it off with a meteor hitting. Then Miguel tells her that their Abuela will probably be upset, but will forgive her, which is very sweet...and then he as well finishes the story with a meteor randomly hitting earth.
- When Maya and Miguel compete for the leads in a reality show about twins, their competition is a pair of Single-Minded Twins that apparently no one can tell apart so Maya and Miguel decide that they need to act like they share all interests with each other. This leads to them having to wear Rummage Sale Reject combinations of each other's outfits and combining features of their rooms together. This leads to a brief game of Misery Poker where Miguel responds to Maya complaining about having to have his smelly sneakers in her room by pointing out he has to have glittery blueberry-scented stickers in his; Chrissy pipes up "And flowers for throw pillows!" and he worriedly asks what throw pillows are.
- And to top it all off, all of this ends up for not because the director cans the twin-based show in favor of making a show based around Abuela.
