    The Hatchetfield Ape-Man 

  • This one, being more of a comedy than horror story, had quite a few of these, but probably the biggest one was the big reveal of Konk's true identity, forcing everyone to go back and look at all of the sappy Beast and Beauty romance that happened previously through new eyes.
  • There's also just how ridiculously far Robert Manion takes his acting as the fully Ax-Crazy version of Professor Hidgens, incorporating wacky new personality traits for him like his raving Anglophobia. Hidgens exultantly singing "LONDON BRIDGE IS FALLING DOWN!" while charging at Jonathan with a gun would be worth the price of admission in and of itself.
  • "Welcome to America, you tea-taxing son of a bitch."
  • Professor Hidgens, completely unprompted, revealing Becky Barnes once spent a week in a tree, and then says to the audience, "That's a bit of Hatchetfield lore for ya." The Langs do know their audience well...
     Forever & Always 
  • The sheer verve with which The Narrator describes Emma 2's bloody massacre of every human being inside the Birdhouse helps take this scene around the corner from horror to pure Black Comedy.
    When all the bikers are dispatched, the Emma-imposter turns her deadly skills on the few terrified witnesses. It’s clear she doesn’t want anyone left alive to tell what they saw. She jams a broken bottle into a boozehound’s throat. She hurls a dart-player into the jukebox. The BARTENDER grabs the wallphone to call for help...
    Bartender: Hatchetfield police? This is...
    But before he can rat her out, the other Emma throws her knife into his skull. It pins him against the wall. Soon, the only two left standing are a terrified Emma, and her murderous double...
    Jane's a Car 
  • It may have been Cringe Comedy, but the sheer Overly Long Gag escalation of the "literal Auto Erotica scene" and the way the scene tiptoed right up to the line of how explicit a scene like this could get in a Starkid show made for some of the most uncontrollable awkward giggles the Hatchetfield series has ever evoked. A lot of fans are very disappointed at how toned-down the edited YouTube version was. (Most of the original viewers point to "Careful with my cupholders, Tom, they're sensitive" as the moment they absolutely lost it.)
    Honey Queen
