Funny moments in Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur (2023).


    open/close all folders 

Season 1

    Episode 1: Moon Girl Landing 
  • Adria brings Lunella a bowl of grapes and asks if she's hungry. Lunella says no, right before eating the entire bowl in one bite.
  • When Devil first appears, he goes from fearsome dinosaur to excited puppy in seconds.
  • Lunella had foiled a couple of burglars from breaking into the rink by setting a trap with an exploding dye pack. Every time we see the burglars after that, they are still covered in blue dye.
  • Devil has captured one of the burglars when he suddenly catches a whiff of the sausage they were eating. Moon Girl tries to tell him to ignore it, while the burglar happily encourages Devil to go after the cold cuts.
  • James says Moon Girl's parents must be idiots for letting their daughter do such dangerous things. If he only knew…
  • Lunella's grandfather thinks there are Lizard Folk living in the sewers but even he laughs when Lunella says an "electricity vampire" is causing the blackouts.
    • The newspaper he reads as they discuss this has the headline A DINO DID IT with the sub header Did a dino do it? Yes.
  • This exchange before the team goes after their first criminals.
    Casey: My hands are shaking.
    Lunella: Girl, my everything is shaking!
  • Casey worries about what will happen if Lunella can't beat Aftershock. Lunella answers "Well, then we get canceled after one episode" followed by an Aside Glance and a panel of shocked animators on top.
  • This exchange between Aftershock and Lunella.
    Aftershock: You're not a real superhero.
    Lunella: And you're not a real blonde.
    • She follows it up by seriously threatening to kill Lunella's family if she gets in the way again... before snapping back to normal and giving her a homework assignment in her nice voice.
  • Aftershock is completely burnt out after only a week of teaching, complete with gum in her hair.
  • Adria gives Lunella a cassette player with a mixtape for inspiration. As smart as Lunella is, she has no idea what it's for until Coach Hrbek mentions it during her fight with Aftershock, by which time she had already upgraded it into a tracker.

    Episode 2: The Borough Bully 
  • Casey learned to ignore trolls after Eduardo mocked her scrunchie by taking their comments as compliments. The second time. The first time it happened to her, she "regrettably" punched Eduardo and got detention.
  • Casey's favorite show is Love Scent, a bachelor parody where the guy picks a girlfriend based on how she smells. She's later seen watching with anticipation as one is about to be picked... before the news about Moon Girl's fight interrupts it, surprising her whole family. She even leaps like a scared cat.
  • Mimi boasts that she never used the internet since confrontations were more face-to-face. After Lunella gets an idea she runs off... leaving Mimi to use the laptop and see a review on her wings.
    Mimi: WHAT?! My wings are not overseasoned!
  • Syphonator even gets to Devil by mentioning his short arms.
  • The way Devil clears his throat before roaring at Syphonator.
  • Before Lunella barges into the lair in a huff over Syphonator's cyberbullying, Devil Dinosaur is fast asleep, dreaming of, what else, hot dogs.

    Episode 3: Run the Rink 
  • The beginning of the episode shows Lunella appearing to race Devil to stop some supervillain or crime... until he stops at a car wash, and realizes Lunella is trying to get him to take a bath after taking a swim in the East River.
    • Gets even funnier when the attendant attempts to sneak away, only for Lunella to see him anyway and ask for change. He asks if "that thing"(Devil) is safe. Lunella says sure it(her helmet) is. When he clarifies he means the dinosaur, she gives him a flat "pfft, no".
    • After using a hot dog to get him through, Devil manages to get some revenge by grabbing Lunella by his tail through the wash.
    • And it's all rendered moot when Devil decides to have a snack with a dumpster, dumping garbage on them again.
  • Lunella automates all the boring tasks she has to do while running the rink — oiling the skates, filling the soda cups, cooking the kettle corn — but then overdoes it by turning up the juice, making everything go haywire, resulting in the entire rink being covered in kettle corn.
  • Instantanegirl is so hard to pronounce, Lunella just ends up calling her "Speedygirl."
    • Moon Girl doesn't even get to fight Instantanegirl, as the villain runs too fast into a wall and knocks herself out.
    • Probably the funniest thing is how they react to her when she first shows up: like there's nothing special about her at all.
    Casey: Hold it, hermana: door charge. (villain begrudingly pays) Thank you. Proceed.
  • The very concept of Manbaby, simply a giant toddler who wants Devil as a toy.
  • Although Gravitas is usually a serious opponent, he does get a few funny lines. One such being...
    Gravitas: "Moon Girl". What's the Moon got to do with your whole shtick, anyway? You worship the moon or something?
  • The end credits are played over the image of a glittery Devil spinning in the air like a disco ball.

    Episode 4: Check Yourself 
  • The skating race between Moon Girl and Devil, who has taxis strapped on each foot. At one point he goes through a line of trees on a median, getting hit in the crotch repeatedly.
  • Principal Nelson, after announcing the retirement of the school guidance counselor, asks that the students not have any feelings until they can find a replacement.
  • Casey tries to call for help on a rotary dial phone... by telling it to call like it had voice control.
  • How do the heroes fix the waterlogged LOS? By sticking the supercomputer into a giant pile of rice overnight. (And even better, it was Devil's idea.)

    Episode 5: Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow 
  • Lunella, determined to get to school, tries to leave and returns a second later because she's still in her pajamas.
    Lunella: (chuckles sheepishly as she tugs her shirt over her pants) I should get dressed first.
  • When asked why she doesn’t just use hair straightener, Lunella explains that her mom is “scared” of the stuff. Flashback to a young Lunella picking up a bottle in the store to show her mom, and Adria freaking out and tossing the bottle at the display.
  • The wall-eyed expression on Casey's face as she screams about Lunella losing her hair.
    • Also when Lunella tells her to cut out the noise, her family will hear. Casey apologizes and screams again. Very quietly.
  • The Narrator begins to explain Mane’s backstory before realizing that the audience had already seen it.
  • Mane launches into a villainous monologue about how she is going to use Lunella's compound to create her own army of hair monsters. Then, we see her struggling to steal the vat with the compound.
    Mane: Your two-ton vat is really ruining my evil exit.
  • When sneaking into Mane's lair, Devil sneaks in by breaking through the side of the lair waking Mane up.
  • Mane hypes up her "Devil Dryersaur", a hair dryer on top of a barber's chair that she stuffed with hair and brought to life with Lunella's compound, gloating about how it will help her destroy the heroes—but gets cut off mid-sentence when the much bigger Devil simply stomps on it.

    Episode 6: The Beyonder 
  • In a nutshell, Beyonder's antics.
  • The Beyonder’s comment while watching TV with Devil:
    Beyonder: What is the human obsession with remakes? This animated version is way better!
  • While the Beyonder sings that he picked Lunella to teach him about humanity because she's so smart, he conjures up a banner that says "Congrats, nerd!"
  • During the Beyonder's musical number, he looks at a planet through a magnifying glass. Then, as he looks away, the glass sets the planet on fire. He puts out the fire and puts a Band-aid on it.
  • The Beyonder getting indignant at Lunella literally pulling the plug on his big musical number midway through. It comes back to bite her later when he reveals she cut him off before he could mention he was deciding mankind’s fate.
  • The Beyonder uses his powers to impress Devil and Casey by giving the former huge muscular arms and making Selena Gomez follow the latter on social media, which is represented by several copies of Gomez's face blasting out of Casey's phone.
    • When the Beyonder restores things to normal, Casey cries out "Nooooooo! Selena! Come back!"
  • Disguised as a student, the Beyonder tries to eat Lunella's sandwich by swallowing it whole. He chokes on it and regurgitates it back onto the table. Later, he tries to eat it again in smaller bites, as Lunella suggested, and a disgusted Casey slowly backs away.
  • With Eduardo nearly showing up while the Beyonder is talking with Lunella, shapeshifted as a librarian, Lunella gets the Beyonder out of sight by drop kicking him through an opening in a bookshelf, his legs wriggling like a worm as they slip through.
  • To keep Eduardo away, Lunella asks him to get a triple-forged gorilla wrench, an item she just made up. Imagine her surprise when Eduardo returns with one.
    • As Lunella lies about the gorilla wrench, a thermometer graphic appears next to a poop emoji. That's right, a literal bullshit meter on a Disney show!
  • For their science project, Lunella’s classmates Brooklyn and Jeri attach giant magnets to their backs, believing it will cause them to levitate. While nothing suggests this was ever going to work, they happen to start their demonstration just as the Beyonder decides to nullify the gravity in the entire room. Everyone thinks the magnet experiment is what caused this to happen, somehow, and Brooklyn and Jeri win first price.
  • The Beyonder turning Devil into a Chibi version of himself.
  • In a meta example, the Beyonder introduces himself by revealing that his name is graffitied on the side of the subway car in Lunella's lab, leading her to wonder if that was always there. Rewatching the past episodes reveals that, indeed, it was always there.

    Episode 7: Goodnight, Moon Girl 
  • Apparently at one of her past sleepovers, Lunella blacked out and woke up on the subway covered in soup. No explanation is given.
    Casey: You’re Soup Girl?
  • Lunella invents a mind-reading device in the hopes of more easily comprehending the other people at the party so she won't be awkward. She tries to test it on Casey, who gives her a Death Glare.
    Casey: (warning tone) Read my mind, and you will hear words that even you don't understand.
  • Any time Devil ends up in Lunella's body.
  • Lunella's family fighting over the remote, not realizing it's been converted into a body-switching device.
    • Pops blaming Lunella for turning on parental controls as the reason for the remote not working.
  • The first time Pops unknowingly switches Devil and Lunella, Devil is having his own slumber party with some stuffed animals and a lamp tied to a pillow with a face drawn on it.
  • As soon as Devil realizes he's in Lunella's body during the slumber party, he immediately starts to devour some of the pizza set out for them. After everyone gives "Lunella" a weird look, Devil uses a napkin to wipe his face, only to happily realize he has longer arms now.
  • At one point, Lunella gets switched to Devil's body while he's in the middle of eating out of a dumpster. She's appropriately horrified.
  • Tai apparently collects creepy circus memorabilia. Casey admits she has several follow up questions.
  • The arguments between Brooklyn and T.J.:
    Brooklyn: OH MY GOSH, T.J., get your stupid city out of my party!
    T.J.: I was here first! I’d explain its technical complexities, but you wouldn’t understand, Snot Brain.
    Brooklyn: Ugh! Your guts are dumb and you smell!
    • Later:
      T.J.: Your friends are weirdos!
      Brooklyn: Leave us alone or I will tape your but to the subway and send you to the part of the Bronx where they throw away little brothers forever!
  • Casey’s comment when Brooklyn dares Lunella (technically Devil in Lunella’s body) to drink The Slurry of Fury:
    Casey: This is how cults get started!
  • A heartbroken Lunella tells Casey and Devil to just return to the party with Devil in her body:
    Casey: Your body’s not good enough! (Beat) That came out all wrong!
  • Just as it seems like the conflict is winding down, T.J. steals the brain-switching remote in retaliation for Devil-in-Lunella’s-body destroying his model city earlier:
    Lunella: Whatever you do, don’t hit that button!
    (Long pause as Casey just gives Lunella a look and Lunella gives herself a facepalm. T.J. hits the button.)
    Lunella: (To Casey) Bye. (Brain-switch)

    Episode 8: Teacher's Pet 
  • Devil has a nightmare where Angel the hamster replaces Devil in the show’s opening while the poor dino's alone in the lair.
  • What is the Rat King's nefarious plot? To get himself some pizza.
    • The blueprint that details it is actually titled "preposterous plan".
  • When Devil finally finds Angel after searching the city all morning, he accidentally scares the hamster, who runs away. Devil chases him while making kissy noises.
  • Devil asks some squirrels if they've seen Angel, conveyed in Rebus Bubbles. The squirrels ask for acorns instead. Devil then stops a pigeon and asks it, but it just wants fries.
  • Casey's story of how she thinks Angel went missing is done as a shoujo manga, with Angel as a hamster girl and Devil as a Japanese Delinquent.
  • The Rat King loves alliteration in his speech but gives up on it because it's just so exhausting.
  • Lunella sets off a Rube Goldberg Device booby trap that just causes a mallet to slowly lower onto her. She casually steps out of the way... and gets caught in a net activated by the hammer.
    Lunella: Seriously? Do you think I'm — [Net deploys] AAAAAHHHH!... stupid?

    Episode 9: Skip This Ad...olescense 
  • The montage of Lunella suffering through Cleaning Day.
  • Lunella skips the villain's Evil Gloating, only to regret it when she misses how to defeat him.
  • Skipster gives Lunella several visions of her future. One of them is her at a dance with Eduardo.
    • Before that, Skipster sends Lunella back to kindergarten, where she's approached by Eduardo with his face and fingers covered in snot.

    Episode 10: Moon Girl's Day Off 
  • After getting Casey to pretend to be Moon Girl for a photo shoot, Lunella gets up and does a victory dance... not realizing Devil was in the room, exposing her fake injury.
  • Casey almost spells her own name when autographing a biker's bat, before managing to hastily rework it into spelling Moon Girl (with the "C" in her name becoming a crescent moon).
  • Casey as Moon Girl is asked for help by a little girl who got her yo-yo string tangled on her fingers. She appears later, this time tied up and tethered to a post by the yo-yo.
  • One of the many things Lunella asks Mimi for is a puppet show.
  • The whole montage of Lunella ringing a bell for Mimi's help, with Mimi getting increasingly irritated as it progresses. Then later when Lunella goes to ring Mimi for a drink, a Tranquil Fury-mode Mimi bursts into the room before she can with flames in the background behind her.
    Mimi: Ring it again. I dare you.
  • Mimi tricking Lunella into exposing her Obfuscating Disability by putting her drink out of reach.
  • The Beyonder's backstory on the Villain of the Week ends with him telling the viewers he’s going to get popcorn.
  • Devil trying to get Casey out of danger by hiding her in a dumpster. Near the end of the episode, Lunella asks why the suit smells like garbage.
  • After pretending to break her ankle, Lunella gets back into superheroing and actually breaks her ankle.
    Lunella: Ow! The bitter pain of karmic justice!
  • Abyss’ reaction to Lunella showing up in the middle of her fight with Casey:
    Abyss: How did you get there? Did you evaporate? That’s my thing! Don’t steal my thing! (Casey and Devil run past her) Oh. There are two of you.

    Episode 11: Like Mother, Like Moon Girl 
  • Casey fakes a video call between Moon Girl and Adria while Lunella is in the room, sneakily hitting pre-planned responses. She accidentally hits the wrong buttons, saying that she's going to beat up villains and order a pizza.
    Casey: She must be multitasking.
  • The Muzzlers might be greedy villains but they're Affably Evil and Laughably Evil. Everything they say is with the brightest, cheesiest smiles.
  • Adria respects Moon Girl but thinks her parents must be crazy for letting their child fight supervillains.

    Episode 12: Today, I Am a Woman 
  • Devil tries to stop Rockit Rudy from escaping, but Rudy drives between his legs and hits him where the sun don't shine, with a brief cutaway to a round pinata breaking open.
  • Casey has been planning parties for a long time. Her sixth birthday party (where all she had to work with was a jar of pickles) got mentioned on the style section of the newspaper.
  • Devil enters the temple to help Moon Girl fight Odessa Drake, but is immediately distracted by the food spread. He is seen gobbling it like Pac-Man during the mixtape sequence; and when everyone enters the reception hall after the Bat Mitzvah, Devil is guzzling from the chocolate fountain.

    Episode 13: Devil on Her Shoulder 
  • Moon Girl annoyed at how Rockin' Rudy keeps getting away, even though "his only superpower is a working car."
  • Only in the Marvel Universe would a Kaiju movie be Based on a True Story.
  • The usher at the movie screening announces that they're out of popcorn. Cut to the human-sized Devil surrounded by a pile of popcorn, while Lunella and Casey sink into their seats embarrassed.
  • The song Devil chooses for the episode's mixtape scene is an upbeat children's song, accompanied by cutesy pastel graphics. Casey and Moon Girl are as puzzled as the audience.
  • Devil pretending to argue how Deadpool and Spider-Man are not the same.
  • Lunella's Anger Born of Worry after Devil steals the shrinking potion to play in a ball pit.
    Lunella: (*angrily*) One, you are so stinking cute right now. Two, the East River is more sanitary than that ball pit.
  • The Behemoth Battle between Devil and Torg ends when the two of them get stuck on two memorial arches.

    Episode 14: Coney Island, Baby 
  • The Beyonder's attempts to pronounce the word "fear". Keyword "attempts".
    • And Lunella's hilarious Death Glare (as in her eyes shoot through the lens of her glasses) at his inability to pronounce it.
  • Casey likes to eat colorful food before going on rides so she gets Rainbow Puke.
  • The Beyonder is originally at Coney Island to study eating, and tries to eat a literal infinite pile of hoagies.
  • Devil tries to get to Coney Island to save Lunella from the Beyonder, but has a crippling fear of getting stung by jellyfish. He finally does swim all the way there, but with a tail covered in jellies.
    • Devil attempts to get there without swimming by hopping a ferry, but he takes the Staten Island ferry by mistake. He comes back covered in tacky souvenirs, including Statue of Liberty crown and torch.
    • While racing to save Lunella, he imagines a chibi Lunella being menaced by a chibi Monster Clown.
  • The scene where Moon Girl rescues people at a roller coaster with a piece of track missing plays like a black-and-white silent movie, with title cards for Casey's "fun screaming" and (when she notices the missing track) "real screaming".
  • In the show's biggest Breaking the Fourth Wall moment so far, Beyonder goes to the show's editing software and rewinds the episode to find out Lunella's biggest fear.
    • When he figures out how to make Lunella face her biggest fear, he turns into the Grinch smiling when he gets his "wonderful, awful idea."
  • At the end of the episode, Devil takes part in a hot dog Eating Contest. As soon as the announcer starts the contest, Devil has eaten all his hot dogs, his opponents' hot dogs, and the table they were sitting on, all in one bite.

    Episode 15: OMG Issue # 1 
  • Casey is monitoring Moon Girl's fight with the Enclave soldiers through a drone and is briefly distracted by a sale in a store in the background.
  • All the lame bee puns Moon Girl makes after noting the honeycomb logo of the Enclave.
  • Lunella finds Devil fast asleep when she enters the lab. She throws a pen at him, which doesn't wake him up. She then throws a stapler, which Devil eats. Then she throws her whole backpack; Devil eats it and then spits it back out at her face.
  • After Mimi confesses to being the original Moon Girl, Devil does a massive Jaw Drop, and holds it for the whole scene.
  • Mimi fighting an Enclave soldier in the kitchen while the rest of the family are in the living room playing cards, completely oblivious to what's happening.

    Episode 16: OMG Issue # 2 
  • Rather than introduce the villain of the episode, the Beyonder recaps the previous episode, using simplistic drawings for visual aid. When Lunella reunites with Devil and Casey, her explanation of what happened is skipped over by Beyonder because he already told the audience.
  • If Moon Girl met Maria Hill last episode, why can't she and Casey call S.H.I.E.L.D. for backup? Casey texted Maria too much, so she blocked her number.
  • Casey prepared her own board to locate the Enclave, saying she learned how by watching a lot of police procedurals. It's covered in red string... and bee stickers.
  • While trying to figure out the Enclave's hideout, Lunella notices a detail, and asks Casey to zoom in or a portion of the map. But as it's just a board, Casey simply pushes her head closer to it.
  • When Devil swims to the island where Mimi is being kept, his tail is once again covered in jellyfish.

Season 2

    Episode 1: The Great Beyond-er 
  • In the middle of the horrifying scene of Lunella falling through the multiverse, who should come to her rescue but Beyonder, shaped as a moped.
  • Without his powers, Beyonder becomes whiny and pathetic, complaining about having to walk on his own feet. He even has to be taught to walk on tiptoe.
  • Beyonder getting beaten by an alien he apparently messed with in the past. He gets punched and bruised in the face repeatedly, accompanied by inappropriately goofy sound effects.
    • The reason said alien is after Beyonder? He turned her spaceship into a pogo stick. Her calf muscles got overdeveloped as a result, which made it tough for her to buy clothes, if one of her And This Is for... lines is any indication.
  • One of the aliens after Beyonder is the Evil Counterpart of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Devil Girl and Moon Dinosaur. He admits that Moon Girl is not the only Moon Girl in the multiverse he likes to mess with.
    • Devil Girl’s grievance? Beyonder messed with her science project too.
  • Molecule Man is a terrifying villain with a tragic motivation - the destruction of his world… brought about by Beyonder playing golf with asteroids on a neighboring planet.
  • Beyonder boasts about his cunning plan to defeat Molecule Man, which amounts to little more than sneaking up behind him and taking his magic wand from his back pocket, using his newly attained tiptoeing skills.

    Episode 2: Suit Up 
  • While Lunella and Mimi take a train out west, poor Devil is forced to struggle behind them using a hand cart.
  • Mimi and her old college friends used to call their group the Hot Tomatoes. Mimi refuses to let anyone explain why. It’s a touchy subject apparently.
  • Matsuye, who acts sullen towards everyone else, dotes on Devil like a puppy. Not that Devil is complaining.
  • One of the modifications done on Moon Girl's suit are inflatable pads in case she falls... which make her look like she has a gigantic butt.

    Episode 3: Belly of the Beast 
  • With each replay of Casey’s favorite song, the enthusiasm clearly drains from Lunella’s face, to the point where she doesn’t even clap along anymore.
  • After accidentally swallowing the goo grenade, Devil is forced to freeze in place - on one leg - to avoid setting it off. A task made more difficult with pesky mosquitos, sewage dripping on his nose, and Mimi offering him ice cream.
  • When Lunella begins to give an explanation on Devil's insides to navigate through him, the Beyonder shows up to try to narrate it for her. Though she shuts him down, not needing him to Beyonder-splain it as he leaves annoyed.
    • Later, when Lunella is trapped in intestine lining, as she struggles to get out, she says "It's not a problem." Out pops Beyonder, smug look on his face, holding a caption saying "This is a problem."
  • As the goo grenade is about to go off, Casey asks which way they take to get out of Devil's body; out the nose, or... the other way. While not explicitly shown, it's pretty clear they chose the latter.

    Episode 4: Ride or Die 
  • Our introduction to Quickwhip? Clearly it's not Quickwhip, it's "Whipquick, her law-abiding twin."
  • Turns out that in past encounters with Quickwhip, she tricked Lunella with a Look Behind You, calling out Captain America, a double rainbow, and even Thanos, each to significant success for an escape. And in the present, she even baits Lunella by claiming there's a stain on her suit.
    "Psych your mind! Make your booty shine!"
  • The subplot for the episode, in which Casey and Devil decide to secretly watch the finale of "The Old and the Dutiful" behind Lunella's back after being tempted by Mimi, as we get constant cuts to their reactions, with Devil constantly giving ideas for what to do while watching the finale without getting Lunella's attention. At one point, Devil's crying to the point he's flooded the lab!
    • And at the end of the episode, when Lunella is suggesting to Maria to let Quickwhip go or find another way for her outside of arrest, Casey compares the situation to the finale, much to Lunella's irritation upon realizing she and Devil watched without her.
  • When Lunella calls Maria Hill, Casey climbs through the split screen into Hill’s office and snaps a few pics before Hill gives her the boot.
  • While sneaking past the Darts on the train, Lunella and Quickwhip’s cover is blown when Quickwhip catches sight of a passenger trimming his toenails and tosses her cookies (as indicated by a graphic of her head spitting out cookies).
  • Principal Nelson’s efforts to make his busker debut on the train being undermined by more skilled performers and Moon Girl’s fights with the Darts.
  • Moon Girl and Devil stop the runaway train before it crashes into a depot. It stops just short of hitting a worker having lunch on the tracks, unaware of what's happening until Devil's foot knocks the sandwich off his hands.
  • During Moon Girl's impassioned speech, Casey slips she watched "The Old and the Dutiful" finale. Lunella is outraged.

    Episode 5: Kid Kree 
  • Lunella's first proper meeting with "Marvin", which screams awkwardness as Marvin begins Laughing Mad in an attempt to laugh at a joke, and also nails Lunella with a "reflex test" out of nowhere which she fails.
  • During a dodgeball game in gym class, which is heralded by dramatic opera music, Lunella walks straight into the field arms spread as she leaves herself wide open, leading to her getting nailed by a dodgeball as she wobbles in place. Cue her gleefully walking away (represented by a picture of her running sliding off screen) with classic video game music playing as she goes to work on some projects on the side.
  • The first encounter between Moon Girl and Mel-Varr, in which Mel-Varr introduces himself with a deep menacing voice... Only for his voice to crack midway through his introduction.
  • While Lunella and Marvin are discussing the idea of meeting up later to work on a project, Casey can be seen sliding into frame with the most gleeful expression on her face in excited support.
  • While Lunella struggles to figure out the device Kid Kree dropped, Casey immediately recognizes it as a cell phone and instantly unlocks it
  • During the dinner, Lunella makes it very clear that she knows Marvin's true identity, making several cues that she knows Marvin's been lying this whole time (Bringing up lima beams having "lie" in them, and the Norse god Loki). Cue a rather tense dinner in which the tension keeps escalating... At least until Marvin tries to mirror Lunella's dramatic food stab only to miss the carrot.
    • And eventually, it culminates in the two going into a full blown war at the dinner table, Mimi fiercely coaching Lunella as the fight rages on as Pops continues gorging on lima beans. Though it's quickly revealed it was an Imagine Spot between the two.
  • The Stinger is simply a shot of Mel-Varr’s father Pad-Varr making his pecs dance.

    Episode 6: Wish-Tar 
  • The Beast-O 3 sneakers are so popular even the Villain of the Week, a Plant Person, is wearing them. And he didn't even have feet; he just tied them to the flowerpot he's planted on.
  • Everyone in school is able to tell that Lunella's sneakers are knockoffs because Devil, who painted them, put his own face on them.
  • The increasing ridiculousness of the trends, going from designer clothes and bling to inflatable pool ducks and multiple hats.
  • The Stinger of the episode, after the Bittersweet Ending, hits the viewers with a hefty case of Mood Whiplash into the comedy end as we see James a sobbing mess over the titular Wish-Tar's destruction, begging for it to wake up.

    Episode 7: Make It, Don’t Break It 
  • Last year's Robot Warz champion, Theodore Zimmer's Dog Bot — who seems to do nothing but shake its head side to side — Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing, as Jackson Wheele's robot trips on a snag on the floor and breaks down before it can even attack. He wins against Lunella the same way, when a loose screw on her Bob Bot causes it to fall apart and get mangled by the obstacles.
  • Coach Hrbek’s Big "NO!" when Lunella tells him that Dr. Ojo isn’t sticking around.

    Episode 8: Dog Day Mid-Afternoon 
  • The counter counting all the dog puns on the episode. Franklin even Hangs A Lampshade on it.
  • Franklin (voiced by David Tennant) admitting that he's speaking with a Scottish accent because it sounds cool.
  • Casey interrupting Franklyn's telling of the Villain of the Week backstory to ask why Beyonder isn't doing it.
    • The fact that Kat Swan got the mind-controlling dog whistle from a garage sale.

    Episode 9: In the Heist 
  • Almost all the faces Dr. Stern makes as he slowly descends into a Villainous Breakdown are absolutely priceless.
  • The ridiculous rules Mr. Stern gives the kids. It goes from reasonable ones like "no touching the art" to things like "no looking too long at the art" and "only breathe through your nose in small spurts."
  • Devil somehow has an annual pass to the museum. He's seen looking at the art with an opera glass.
  • Kid Kree explaining that to get pizza in his planet he has to fight a horde of demons.

     Episode 10: The Devil You Know 
  • Lunella reassures Devil that he's in the family portrait. Way back in the background, as a pixelated blob.
  • The voiceover reading the flyer for the ABC group that Devil is reading turns out to be a real person who likes to read flyers out loud.
  • In the sharing circle, Toothgnasher admits he can’t speak about his super due to an impending lawsuit.

    Episode 11: Roller Jam! 
  • While discussing Pops and Vernell's rivalry, the family's trying to figure out how Vernell got an invitation to the Roller Jam, as he shouldn't have even invited. The first thought?
    (Cue Adria furiously grabbing James by the shirt as Mimi looks at James with a look of incredulous confusion)
    James: (Immediately crying Ocular Gushers) I'M SO SORRY- wait, Lu handled the invites!
    • Turns out that Lunella Failed a Spot Check and missed the extremely blatant notes in Pop's address book to not call Vernell. The reason she didn't see it?
    (Cue a brief flashback of Lunella as Moon Girl fighting off a horde of tentacles while frantically screaming, and also working on the invitations)
    Lunella: ...I might have been a little distracted.
  • Apparently Bluestreak got his speed tech from the same garage sale Kat Swan got her whistle from a few episodes ago.
  • Casey covers for Lunella while Moon Girl is at the Roller Jam by saying that she's making a "regenerative... cryogenic... cooling tower." Later, Lunella uses the exact same excuse, to Casey's shock.
    Casey: That's a thing?!

    Episode 12: Dancing With Myself 
  • Lunella at first tries to clone her own date using hair from Bobby the Myth. Within seconds, the clone goes from looking like a younger Bobby to a green, short, ugly blob. The closing credits, however, show students fawning over it.
  • Coach Hrbek as Cupid during Eduardo's Falling-in-Love Montage. Said montage also heavily parodies Sailor Moon, with Lunella as Usagi and Eduardo as Tuxedo Mask.
  • Lunella and Casey briefly being shown as hand puppets when they say they'll "call" Moon Girl.

    Episode 13: Family Matters 

    Episode 14: The Molecular Level 
  • James' Overly Long Girly Scream when Lunella reveals that she's Moon Girl. Devil had to shut him up.
    • He does this again when Mimi reveals that there's an underground lab beneath the apartment.
  • Pops offering to be Moon Girl's sidekick under the name Rolling Thunder.
  • James literally going through an emotional rollercoaster.
  • After Mimi mentions that Lunella went through an interdimensional portal:

  • Just about the entirety of the Theme Song Takeover, with Devil taking Lunella's place in the opening (as in he's going to be performing for both Lunella and himself, with Lunella in the movie watching scene represented by a cardboard cutout). Naturally, a t-rex trying to fulfill the daily tasks of a human schoolgirl let alone a human superhero is going to lead to some hilarity, with some of his antics including:
    • Singing "Moon Girl Magic" in his typical growling.
    • Crashing into just about everything in the small rooms with the intro starting with him breaking down a wall just to get into Lunella's room.
    • Devouring food in the deli with Casey ordering him to spit it out.
    • Performing the Moon Girl part of the opening by clumsily crashing into the villains on his car roller skates.
    • By the time the opening's over, both Lunella and a collapsed Devil realize that the whole neighborhood got torn up as a result of the takeover.
