  • Rapton tries to yell out his name, but the train's noise makes Lloyd believe he is speaking in the third person.
  • Arin's 'Dang it!' as he crashes into a tree, which at the same time makes a branch fall on top of a passing Imperium dragon hunter.

• Crossroads Carnival
  • Lloyd's attempts to copy Master Wu's technique; Trying to reveal the training course, which fails due to faulty gears, until he gives it a little kick. He tries to time Arin and Sora by drinking tea, only to spit it out when he realizes he burnt it (something he didn't know was possible). Trying to show Arin and Sora he grew a beard and get them to come closer, what do they see? A tiny hair sprouting.

• Writers of Destiny
  • After learning that Arin once got a Zane haircut (which didn't go well, according to Sora) Kai tells Arin that he should've gone for 'the Kai' hairstyle, and sweeps his hair, leading to Nya copying him, unamused, while Lloyd was amused at her retort.
  • Punching practices end with Arin punching himself in the face.
  • Finding out Lloyd picks his nose.
    Scroll-Worm: Garmadon, Lloyd. Legendary Green Ninja. Picks his nose and eats it-
    Lloyd: (Stopping Kai from laughing) Stop! These things are terrible!
    
    Kai: (About Lloyd's habit) Oh, looks like someone has a new nickname, "Master of Green Boogers".
    
    Kai: Let's get back to the monastery, boogers.
    Lloyd: Stop it.

  • Coming up with a plan to enter Imperium before deciding to use the sewer system.
    Sora: I guarantee the sewers won't have any security. (cue Lloyd, Arin, Sora, and Riyu running from some drones as they ran along the sewer system amongst alarms) I was wrong!
  • Arin and Lloyd's terrible choice of aliases; "Dr. Lampshade Floortile" for Arin and Dyoll Darmagon for Lloyd. Seems like Garmadon's "alias" name of Darnagom Enterprises rubbed off on his son. And yet somehow this isn't what tips the guard off. It's the fact they weren't wearing shoulder pads on a weekday.
    Sora: Um, that's new. And weird.

  • Arin attempts to teach the Teenage Protection Force while at the same time trying to keep them from discovering Riyu in the dumpster.

  • Kai comes into Arin's room, shoulders and rear end on fire from trying to train Wyldfyre before Lloyd uses a squirt bottle to extinguish the flames.

• Gangs of the Sea
  • Nya trying to figure out which Sora (the Imperian and the dragon) she was talking about.
  • Arin throwing dinner plates to try and use his new Spinjitzu tactic, failing twice.
    Lloyd: (Seeing the dinner plate he gave Arin go overboard while trying to use Spinjitzu to throw it) One less plate for me to wash.
    
    Merlopian Pirate: (Seeing the dinner plate Arin threw at them, trying to repeat his tactic, land in the ocean) Hey, our new plates! We just got those!

  • After Percival and the Imperium Teen Protection Force knock out the Imperium guards, Wyldfyre expresses her disappointment in not getting a chance to fight them.

• We Are all Dragons
  • Kai and Wyldfyre humming a tune during random points.
    • The first time it happens, Lloyd asks Kai to get Wyldfyre to stop humming. Kai misinterprets this and instead explains to Wyldfyre that the tune she's humming is the wrong tune for a stealth mission and she should actually be humming a different tune.
      Lloyd: I forgot there's two of them now.
  • Wyldfyre's horrible map reading leads her and Kai to a shoulder pad storage facility, which they set fire to, thinking it was the armory until they realized their mistake. When they wonder what it was they burned at first, cue a Claw of Imperium wailing over burning shoulder pads.

• The Power Within

Shorts

• The Elemental Mechs
  • What the Mech?
    • At the beginning of the short, Arin questions how sliding down "Kai’s Super Awesome Slide Course" counts as training. Kai responds that, since they're sliding down on a meditation carpet, it's meditation, and thus counts as training.
    • Kreel tries to reassure that the Chronosteel shipment she recently got isn't dangerous or anything. Then Lobbo gets mutated by the Chronosteel, becoming large and angry.

      Mutated Lobbo: Owww! Lobbo in pain! Lobbo lobbo!

  • The Mech Master
    • Earlier, Arin had criticized his rival, Grab-Barg's pies as being better than his. When he gets knocked off by the Mechanic and lands in a pie stall, Arin tries one for himself and was amazed before noticing an unamused Grab-Barg was behind him.

Season 2

• The Blood Moon
  • Wyldfyre tries to get a cat out of a tree, only for it to jump on her and start scratching her as she falls off Riyu and moves about. At that same moment, Kai was trying to get Fugi-Dove down, who was in the same tree on the opposite side. For extra funny points, Fugi-Dove motions at Kai with his wing like a scared/threatened cat would with their paw while Kai baby-talks to calm down the frightened Fugi-Dove.

This leads to the agents getting increasingly irritated before they decide to bash open the door once they have everything finally filled out.

• Secrets of the Wyldness
  • Cole tries to perform a [Verb] This! while fighting the Administration. Zane isn't impressed:
    Cole: File this permit in triplicate!
    Zane: Really?
    Cole: What? There aren't that many places I can use that joke!
