    Trailers 
  • As expected, post-transformation Jen is immediately highlighted by others as an Amazonian Beauty, with increasingly funny results.
  • The featurette shows how they're going full-bore into the fourth wall breaking.
    Jen: Just want you to know that this will not be one of those cameo-per-week shows. Except for Bruce. And Blonsky. And Wong...
    Narrator: In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the people are protected by two separate yet equally important groups: The heroes who save them, and the attorneys who clean up their collateral damage. But only one can be both. This is her story. Dun dun.

    Episode One: A Normal Amount Of Rage 
  • Jen getting back to her roots and breaking the fourth wall.
  • Just before their car accident Jen is telling Bruce her theory that Steve Rogers never lost his virginity because he was too busy being Captain America (or frozen in the ice).
    • During The Stinger she tricks Bruce into thinking she's drunk - eulogising Steve's ass in the process - so he'll confirm that Steve did have sex (with a girl from his USO tour). Jen reveals she isn't drunk at all and triumphantly yells "CAPTAIN AMERICA FU-" before the end credits cut her off.
    • An unintentional bit of comedy: The credits show the picture of a peach, a common euphemism for an ass.
  • The partying girls seeing a disheveled Jen and thinking she just went through an abusive break-up.
    Girl 1: You do not need him. Or her. Or them.
    Girl 2: But you do need shoes because this is a public bathroom.
  • Bruce reveals his new form is called "Smart Hulk". Jen briefly forgets and calls him "Smug Hulk" instead. When Bruce corrects her, she snarks "It's pretty smug to call yourself smart." Bruce responds he was not the one who gave him that name.
    Jen: You use it. Implied endorsement.
    Bruce: Don't lawyer me.
  • Bruce tries to break the bad news to Jen but makes an error in his speech:
    Bruce: Look, I'm sorry. I tried to warn you. My blood got into your system, and after the wreck, you got a lethal dose of gamma radiation.
    Jen: Lethal? As in I'm gonna die?
    Bruce: (Alarmed) No, there's more to it that—that I'm going to explain!
    Jen: That is NOT the sentence to take a pause on, Bruce!
  • Bruce explaining that Jen's transformations are based on anger and fear. Jen then notes that it's the baseline of women everywhere.
    • He also referred to it as a "distressed emotional state", to which she replied by suggesting Pixar movies.
    Jennifer: Ooh! Put on a Pixar movie! When Bing Bong jumps out of the wagon in-
    Bruce: No! Oh! Bing Bong! [hand over heart] no...
  • Bruce attempts to trigger Jennifer's transformation... by trapping her in a glass cube with a wall of buzzsaws rapidly approaching. When Jen's transformed she goes after Bruce clearly wanting to beat him.
    Bruce: [After Jennifer transforms] Yes! Yes! Yes! [Jen sees Bruce and rips a door off its hinges] No! No!
    • As she is freaking out, she takes off her helmet. Bruce, however, had other priorities (which makes sense from his point of view, he has been the Hulk for about a decade and a half).
      Jen: Ha ha! Not funny, Bruce! (Removes her helmet) What, you're just gonna kill me?
      Bruce: Put the helmet on! We need the data!
      Jen: It's not gonna work! What do you normally use this chamber for, you psychopath?
      (Bruce smiles sheepishly)
    • And then when Jen recovers her mind, she reacts with "Why are you talking to me like I'm a stray horse?"
    • Bruce saying "Bruh!" in reaction to Jen breaking the machine.
  • When Bruce reveals that Natasha would calm him by telling him a lullaby, Jen asks him to walk her through how that works. After a brief silence, Bruce says he doesn't have a great explanation for it.
  • While Bruce states they need to work out their balance with some handstands, Jen is already standing on one hand and contorting her body effortlessly.
  • At one point during the training both Bruce and Jen practice a traditional superhero landing. After nailing it Jen immediately starts flexing, yelling "MEN! MEEEEEENNNNNN!" at the top of her lungs, much to Bruce's chagrin.
  • Bruce shoves Jen over a cliff. Jen briefly flails before she glares at Bruce and flips him off.
  • Bruce throws a big rock in an attempt to train Jen and she throws a rock too, but she covers more distance. Angered, Bruce grabs an even bigger rock and throws it so far away, it disappears. Catching fire.
    Jen: Very good!
    Bruce: I'm just trying to show you.
    Jen: No, I'm shown.
  • Bruce says Hulk physiology makes alcohol resistant very high. Jen gets enthusiastic. Cut to a floor full of empty bottles... (and the joke later pays off by saying they Never Gets Drunk, but the hangover still stays)
  • Banner tells Jen that if she wants to be a normal lawyer, then he has no problems with that. Jen has an Aside Glance and proceeds to break the fourth wall by telling us that he does. Bruce turns around befuddled. Even better is that Jen herself is also confused by it.
  • Bruce mentions that Tony helped him build the bar... by sitting around, drinking and trash-talking about Steve.
    • And it's clear he is fond of the place, as Bruce is devastated once his fight with Jen levels the bar, to which she immediately apologizes, leading him to angrily declare "You're fixing it!", just like they were a couple of kids and she accidentally broke his toy while they were rough housing.
  • Bruce keeps telling Jen that she needs to control her anger and her emotions in order to keep her transformations in check. Jen reveals that she, like many women, is harassed a lot in her day to day life, like random people catcalling her, or unqualified men mansplaining her about her own job and hence she is really good at controlling her anger, because otherwise, people may call her difficult, emotional, or might just murder her, and everything Bruce is teaching her feels like he is "projecting a lot of shit" onto her. As she is explaining, she gets increasingly angry and transforms into the She-Hulk. Bruce tries to show that she just transformed, meaning she is not as good at controlling her temper as she thinks. Jen, however, quickly reverts back to her normal self, displaying she really can control her emotions, just like she said. Bruce is just baffled.
    Bruce: Okay, this is completely new territory.
  • During one morning, Bruce wakes Jen up with an air horn to her ear, resulting in her Hulking Out and breaking her bed. When she asks him if that was necessary:
    Bruce: For comedy, absolutely.
  • Jen's dismay at Hulking Out in a suit she liked. Nikki proceeds to remind her to at least save the shoes.
  • The animated credits have many of them, such as Bruce trying to put the door back into place with duct tape, and both Hulks bulk buying snacks and Spandex clothes.
  • The start of Bruce's fight with Jen is like something out of a Looney Tunes bit, with him suffering a series of slapstick injuries to the face from increasingly silly objects while struggling to maintain a cool demeanor through it all - and clearly giving up when his glasses fall apart because he's 100% done with it.
  • Jen sits in Bruce's jeep in order to leave... Cue a few seconds of her adjusting the driver's seat and putting a cushion under her butt, all because the jeep is adjusted to Hulk's bulkier size.
  • At the end of the full-episode recap, Jen casually says that basically everyone knows that she is a hulk, and no weird Hulk business has started, so she doesn't need to be a hulk, her cousin was wrong, and the show can focus on her lawyer career. The way she sassily says "Lawyer show" to the audience as she leaves the room is a great punch line to all of it.

    Episode Two: Superhuman Law 

  • The news ticker explains Titania's presence in the courtroom: A road-rage incident that she attributes to "devastatingly low blood sugar." Also, apparently she's a well-known super powered influencer. Which by all appearances just means that she has no other talents besides having super powers and a social media account.
  • Jennifer is at a bar in She-Hulk form when her boss asks to talk to her in her "Jen-Jen" form. She transforms back and, due to now having a totally human metabolism, instantaneously becomes incredibly drunk.
    • Immediately afterward, Jen is informed that she's being fired due to the complications that arise from having her on board... And so, for a single episode, the title of the show is changed.
      SHE-HULK: ATTORNEY FOR HIRE
  • Eagle eyed viewers will notice Jen's phone's lock screen wallpaper is a closeup of Captain America's ass.
  • Holliway offers Jen a new job, and she instantly says yes. Then, to try to not seem quite so desperate, she insists that she has a condition: She will have her choice of paralegal, non-negotiable. Which is sort of like making choosing your own secretary a condition.
    Holliway: I literally don't care who your paralegal is.
  • Once Jen is hired, she begins her first day at work by slamming into the glass doors at her new office.
  • During her initial walkthrough, Jen is so frustrated and nervous at having to come in Hulked out as per her boss’s request, that she misses his question while fourth walling her frustrations:
    Holliway: But I'm curious. What do you think about it?
    Jen: I'm, uh, agnostic.
    Holliway: Interesting. Unprecedented, for sure. Hm. (chuckles)
    Jen: (glances at the camera) I'll spend the rest of the year worrying about what I just said.
  • Pugliese, another Superhuman Law attorney, gives Jen a welcome basket, including some snacks and a map to the best bathrooms. Jen and Nikki both very seriously thank him.
  • Jen pointing out superheroism "is for billionaires and narcissists, and adult orphans, for some reason".
  • Emil Blonsky's reintroduction into the MCU, wherein he comes across as a new age hippie. Complete with offering to compose apology haikus for the board overseeing his parole, the victims of his Harlem rampage, and Bruce himself. And what does Bruce have to say about this?
    Bruce: That fight was so long ago, I'm a completely different person now. Literally!
  • Emil mentioning how he now has seven soulmates through the prison's pen pal program. They have also apparently bought a property for him. And he's wearing crocs.
  • At the end of the episode, Jen calls her Holliway to confirm she's taking Blonsky's case and already knows exactly how to prove he's reformed. Holliway tells her to turn on the news, which is showing footage of Blonsky's cage fight from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, meaning her case is already undermined by him breaking out of prison.
    Jen: Oh. (turns to the camera) That sucks.
  • The Stinger shows that not only is Jen's dad very accepting of her being She-Hulk, but he is also definitely not above using it to make her help around with household chores.
    Jen: (carrying seven watercooler bottles into the house) Glad you're staying hydrated, Dad, but this seems a little excessive.

    Episode Three: The People vs. Emil Blonsky 
  • Jen gets Nikki to search online for Wong's contact information, which turns out to be muddled due to him moving back and forth between Kamar-Taj and the Sanctum Santorum in New York. One profile that Nikki finds includes an employment history revealing that before becoming the librarian at Kamar-Taj he apparently worked as a manager at Target.
    • The fact that Wong even has an account on an employment app, and he has "Sorcerer Supreme" listed as his current "job" is worth a chuckle alone.
  • Upon seeing Bukowski in Holliway's office, Jen is exasperated upon seeing him, and asks about what's going on but also does not want to be part of it. Then when she hears that he legitimately thought his ex-girlfriend (that he's suing for fraud) was the real Megan Thee Stallion, she manages to put on a pleasant smile, yet her voice cracks as she struggles to hold back laughter at his sheer delusions. Even as she walks out of the door a bit afterwards, she starts chuckling at his expense again.
    Dennis: Okay, this is why I didn't want Walters.
  • When Wong meets Jen, he completely misreads her intentions.
    Jen: The parole board will not release him after seeing this video.
    Wong: Oh, I know what you’re thinking, Ms. Walters, and I’m not erasing everyone’s memories. Not again.
    Jen: That is not what I was thinking. That is highly unethical.
    Wong: Yeah, it’s also very messy, believe me.
    • This is followed by Wong suggesting they send him to the Mirror dimension. When Jen disagrees, he asks what about the Shadow dimension.
  • Some of the witness testimonies about how Blonsky has made the prison a better place. For one thing, prisoners now make toilet kombucha instead of toilet wine, and another is that "Now the library is more than just a quiet place to shiv someone."
    • In particular, there's the guard trying to get over his ex-wife breaking down mid-testimony, while Emil happily guides him through some exercises.
  • Wong testifies to the parole board that he did force Blonsky to leave prison for the cage match in Shang Chi. The board point out that breaking a prisoner out of custody is a federal crime. Wong immediately excuses himself and portals back to Kamar-Taj.
  • During the testimony, a parole board member asks that even though Blonsky has seemingly reformed, what about when he involuntarily transforms into the bloodthirsty Abomination. In response, Blonsky tries to demonstrate his full control over said transformation, not verbally, but practically. He eagerly kicks off his shoes and transforms in front of everyone and demonstrating his calm demeanor, practically ignoring everyone in the room freaking out at his actions. In response, Jen angrily commands him to revert back to normal, which Blonsky reluctantly does in a somewhat disappointed tone.
    • The way Jen asks him to revert back to his human form is almost in the tone of a mom telling her son not to demonstrate a highly risky gymnastics routine in front of guests.
    • While everyone freaks out, Blonsky's soulmates look impressed by his Abomination form. Blonsky refers to his seven soulmates as his "better eighths".
    • Emil decides to show that Abomination has become a Gentle Giant by picking up his shoes very gently and placing them on the ground in front of him, smiling and waving at his soulmates as they swoon over him.
    • Just the fact that Blonsky wears Crocs.
    • Immediately after Blonsky transforms into Abomination he bonks his head against the ceiling of his containment cell. You have to wonder if it was designed to be too short to discourage him from transforming.
    • After calming down one of the parole board members asks for someone to bring Blonsky a new, un-shredded uniform to put on.
  • In the B-Plot, Bukowski is suing a Light Elf named Runa who used her shapeshifting ability to pose as Megan Thee Stallion and seduce him into buying her gifts. Runa's lawyer tries to claim that she has diplomatic immunity as an ambassador to New Asgard. The judge shoots this down because the immunity only applies within New Asgard. Runa then quotes the "Asgard isn't a place, it's a people" speech only for the judge to reject that too because "Thor's inspirational speeches are not admissible in court".
    • The case is ultimately resolved when Pug decides to bring Jen in to testify that Bukowski really is so deluded that he'd genuinely believe that he could be dating the real Megan Thee Stallion. As Jen goes into detail about how self-absorbed he is Bukowski decides to object to his own defense, which naturally gets him told off by the judge.
    • The implication is that they went this route because both of them were so disgusted with Bukowski that the winning strategy being to insult him under oath and on record was too good to pass up. Note that Pug has known Bukowski for only a few days tops, and already doesn't want to deal with him.
    • The actual Megan Thee Stallion shows up for the verdict, to the surprise of everyone. Bukowski is still dumb enough to think he has a shot.
    • When first preparing to represent Bukowski, Pug asks how much money he spent on the imposter. Bukowski is a bit reluctant to give the sum, so Pug starts guessing, asking Bukowski to indicate if it's higher or lower. Pug starts at $50,000, with Pug indicating he needs to go up until he hits $200,000. Bukowski indignantly explains that he's not an idiot, of course he didn't spend that much on her... it was more about $175,000.
      Pug: That's a house in parts of the country, Mr. Bukowski.
    • One of the things Bukowski bought the imposter? He paid off her car, a Volkswagen Passat. Yes, Bukowski is so dumb he thought Megan Thee Stallion drove a Volkswagen Passat. This is what truly causes Jen to (nearly) lose her composure and burst out laughing at him.
    • Runa visits Pug at his office, shapeshifting into him and striding through the space saying, "Boy, do I love harassing women in the workplace!" After Pug confronts her and chases her off, he still feels the urge to assure his female co-workers, "I don't. You guys know me."
    • After the unfavorable session ends, Runa shapeshifts into the judge, saying the charges will be dropped. Naturally, when reading the sentence one of the crimes she is guilty of is impersonating a judge.
  • Jen ultimately decides to give an interview on TV in order to set the records straight, especially after a lot of rumours about her (like being rejected by the Avengers, being pregnant with Blonsky's child, etc) spread like wild fire. Even Blonsky encourages her to do so. After she answers a few questions, the interviewer decides to cut to commercials and says that after this, She-Hulk will reveal her diet and exercise tips.
  • Jen getting assaulted by the Wrecking Crew is certainly not a funny situation in the slightest...until Jen remembers that she can just hulk out and the tables turn rapidly.
    Jen: (screaming and struggling, then stops) Oh. Wait. (Hulk Out) Get off of me. (slam!)
  • Jen is less than impressed with the Wrecking Crew:
    Jen: Did you guys rob an Asgardian construction worker?
    Wrecker: Yeah.
  • The Wrecking Crew brandishes their weapons in an attempt to look intimidating. Bulldozer, whose weapon is just a helmet, headbutts the empty air.
  • She-Hulk vs. the Wrecking Crew... goes about as well as you expect, with one poor chump getting launched skyward.
  • The Stinger reveals that the actual Megan Thee Stallion was apparently so impressed by Jen that she's decided to hire her as a lawyer. They celebrate signing by twerking.
    Megan: Oh, you are way more fun than my last lawyer.
    She-Hulk: I will KILL for you, Megan Thee Stallion.
    Megan: Dial it back.
    • According to Word of God, Jen's over the top enthusiasm for Megan Thee Stallion, was a tongue-in-cheek reference to Tatiana Maslany being an actual diehard fan of Megan Thee Stallion.
    • At the end of The Stinger, Holliway sees Jen and Megan twerking, and just sighs and leaves.
  • Jen's fourth wall breaks are particularly amusing this episode.
    • In the first, as she's driving down the highway on the phone with Nikki, trying to track down Wong. She turns to the audience, even leaning over into the passenger seat (thus relinquishing all control over the vehicle) to state that she knows we're all excited to see Wong.
      Jen: You can't wait to see Wong, I get it. I just want to make sure you don't think this is one of those cameo-a-week shows, because it's not. Except for Bruce. And Blonsky. And Wong... Just remember whose show this really is.
    • In the middle, as Jen and Nikki are talking, Jen lamenting the media circus her life has become and believing it will all die down once Blonsky's hearing is settled, Pug joins them to complain about Bukowski. Nikki slides him her drink knowing that he's going to need it, then Jen leans into frame to look at the audience.
      Jen: Connecting the A and B story, nice.
      • When Jen leans back, we see that Pug has drained a full cosmo, now there's just a mouthful left in the bottom of the glass.

    Episode Four: Is This Not Real Magic? 
  • Wong is upset when Madisynn gives away spoilers from The Sopranos. Twice. To the point that he only takes Donny Blaze seriously messing up with reality over that than the idea of some random drunk just dropping in on his territory.
  • Madisynn somehow survived a trip to another dimension, made a Deal with the Devil with a goat demon called Jake and emerges with a heart in her hand, all while seriously drunk. The same goat even appears in the closing credits with a name tag that says his name is "Jake"!
  • Jen's address to the audience at the beginning notes that the viewer is probably excited that Wong is back, noting that it's "basically giving the show Twitter armor for a week."
  • Wong shows up and asks for Jen's help dealing with Donny Blaze. Jen initially believes that the case will be straightforward...until finding out that Blaze hasn't violated any written agreement. She has to explain to Wong that no judge will take the case seriously unless they do things by the book:
    Wong: Mm. The Book of Vishanti?
    She-Hulk: No, the book of American, uh, laws.
    Wong: [groans]
  • Jen finally gets a ping from her match-making app... Only to find it's specifically telling her she's had NO matches.
    Jen: Why is that even an alert?!
  • The one date Jen manages to get is a disaster. Not only is the guy a weirdo, but he's so distracted by his phone he barely cares about Jen talking about herself, including how she turns into a Hulk.
  • Wong is clearly not happy about bringing in Madisynn as a witness, but he has to. And just about everything she does in the courtroom is funny, including her recap of the Deal with the Devil.
    • Madisynn is apparently such a Hard-Drinking Party Girl that she was at a party in the middle of the day. She's also started referring to Wong as "Wongers", much to his chagrin.
    • Madisynn asks Wong if he's being tried for texting while driving.
      Madisynn: Just say you were texting 911. They can't prosecute you for that.
      Jen: That isn't what this is, and that's not true.
  • Jen's incredulous reaction when Donny Blaze's lawyer is revealed to be another magician.
    • When Blaze does a trick to make a rabbit "appear" behind a cloth the lawyer can be seen moving the bunny into position. The best part? Everyone, including the judge, is too distracted by the cute bunny to care!
    • Blaze gets a great zinger after the bunny fiasco. After court is dismissed, he has his "magical" cloth over one hand and his rabbit in the other, and snarks to Wong and Jen:
      Donny: You know I also have a bird! (gives them the finger)
  • As matches continue to not happen, Jen gives up and a profile after Hulking Out follows. The non-stop matches make She-Hulk note "Well, that's demoralizing for Jen!"
  • Jen, as She-Hulk, starts meeting her new matches. Turns out, even superheroes have to sort through a pile of creeps as we see her go out with men like the musclehead who wants to show off how strong he is and the nerd who wants a breakdown of her power stats. When she finally meets a decent guy, he's handsome, muscular, and his background checks off every romance-novel/soap-opera cliche of a desirable man.
  • As Jen and her date start to get intimate on the couch, Wong opens a portal into her house asking her why she isn't answering her phone before quickly realizing why.
    Wong: I feel like your dad.
  • Jen and Wong against the demons has plenty of it, from her complaining about missing a date that was going so well to how some of the creatures are dispatched (Jen stretches and releases one as if it was made of rubber, and Wong drags a portal sideways to where the beast is flying towards).
  • When Jen returns, the date picks up something from her hair and she nonchalantly responds, "Oh, it's just a demon claw" before Jen doing a Bridal Carry on the (incredibly lucky) guy. And the morning after is scored with "Heaven Is a Place on Earth"...
  • After Jen's date walks out on her, she takes it in stride with a bit of fourth wall-breaking snark.
    Jen: Whatever. Hot doctor's a cliche, anyway.
  • Jen opens her door for the guy about to serve her with Titania's court documents but hastily tugs her shirt over her lower half since she forgot she wasn't wearing pants.
  • Jen's last line. "Kind of a bummer way to end this episode. I bet there's a fun tag."
  • The Stinger shows Wong and Madisynn watching This Is Us at Kamar Taj while talking about the different cocktails they've had. Wong in particular notes to have tried vodka with yak's milk sometime during the wedding, only to state he will never drink it again.
    • This might refers to the wedding of Tony Stark and Pepper Potts; during Avengers: Infinity War, as he was leaving, Tony shouted, "Wong, you're invited to my wedding!"

    Episode Five: Mean, Green, and Straight Poured Into These Jeans 
  • Titania calling Jen "Shrek" on their first day in court.
  • Jen (repeatedly) insists that she's definitely and totally over Titania's copyrighting the name She-Hulk... whilst subconsciously crushing a stapler. She only realizes when Nikki points this out to her.
  • Pug turns out to be a collector of shoes, with his eye on the new "Iron Man IIIs."
    Nikki: You're going to buy a pair of shoes that you're not even going to wear? (Beat)... I can respect that.
  • Nikki and Pug can only see the Drip Broker (a clothing designer for superheroes) if they agree to buy the bootleg "Avongers" merchandise his contact is pushing. He also has "Avingers".
    Nikki: Fine, I'll buy an Avongers shirt.
    Contact: And a hat!
    Nikki: Of course, I want to complete the ensemble.
  • Nikki and Pug's efforts to get the Drip Broker on board with producing an ensemble for She-Hulk is filled with moments:
    • Pug first leads them to a boba cafe, which Nikki points out until he mentions that it's actually a front. Then all of his attempts to use a countersign with the guy at the counter fall flat until Nikki finally blurts out, "We're not cops!"
    • They initially think they're going to meet the Drip Broker right away, only for the contact to take them to the aforementioned rack of knock-off merch.
    • They show up at the door wearing all of the Avongers merch they just bought, with Pug even wielding the plastic Mjolnir and shield.
    • After finally getting Drip Broker to agree to see She-Hulk, they begin dancing in the hallway. They immediately stop when the voice on the intercom says, "I can still see you."
    • The Drip Broker being completely unimpressed with She-Hulk and the fact that she just wants a mundane outfit she can wear to work. Also the fact that she is a lawyer.
  • Jen says she just never considered trademarking the She-Hulk name.
    Jen: I mean, did Doctor Strange have to trademark his name? Did Thor?
    Mallory: You chose two people who used their real names.
  • Titania uses the trial to shill her products. Her lawyer grins helplessly.
  • Titania offers her exclusive She-Hulk foot exfoliant as evidence of...something. The judge facepalms when the bailiff dutifully collects it.
    Judge: Can we please stay on track here?
  • To prove she was using the name She-Hulk before Titania trademarked it, Jen has to enter her dating profile (the source of the episode's title) into the record and get statements from all the guys she dated in the last episode.
  • When the judge is handing down the verdict, she pauses for a second, and Titania clearly thinks she is about to win. She is shocked and disappointed when she doesn't.
  • Mallory calling Jen's last date "incredibly attractive" while telling her she can do better.
  • After Mallory comments that she thought Jen would get better clothes, Jen turns to the camera with a goofy smile and says "Oh yeah, my clothes!"
  • The credits show Holliway trying Titania's booty boost smoothie and checking his butt out in the mirror.

    Episode Six: Just Jen 
  • The main title appearing as "Just Jen: Attorney at Law" when Jen promises not to be She-Hulk at the wedding.
  • Mr. Immortal reveals that he tried to avoid having a difficult conversation about ending his marriage by walking out into traffic and "killing" himself. Mallory and Nikki immediately point out how short-sighted and insensitive this is. Mr. Immortal gets sick of them talking over each other and jumps out the window to get out of the conversation.
    • The duo learn he's pulled this stunt eight times at least. Even Mallory, Consummate Professional, has to take him aside and tell him he's going to have to pay them. At one point in the hearing he starts standing up to jump out the window again and Nikki and Mallory force him back down.
    • The fact that, of all the settlements he has to pay put, an apology and sustained eye contact is the one he takes issue with. And then Nikki forces him to do it longer, just because he's that annoying.
  • Jen's fight at the wedding with Titania is cut short by the latter slipping on ice cubes and smashing her face on the ground, causing her veneers to break and her throwing a tantrum before leaving.
    • The post-credits show her getting new ones.
  • After hugging Jen in her She-Hulk form, Lulu seems impressed with her breasts.
  • As a now very drunk Lulu wanders back into the party after squeeing over She-Hulk being at her wedding, she can be heard mentioning that a guy she was in the photo booth with was really cute. Then the credits reveals that the guy in the photo booth with her was Ched.
    • Alternatively, she could have been referring to Jonathan.

    Episode Seven: The Retreat 
  • Jen obsessively checking her phone after Josh ghosts her.
  • The parole officer asks for Jen to come along just in case Blonsky has transformed and it isn't a false alarm. She thus has to wait inside the room as She-Hulk, awkwardly bending her head because the room has a low ceiling.
  • During the drive to Blonksy's retreat, suspenseful music plays in the background as an apprehensive Jennifer drives along the road, checking her texts obsessively. Then out of nowhere, the show cuts to Jennifer randomly singing along to the tonally opposite upbeat Hanson hit, "MMM Bop"! The scene immediately cuts back to the drive, with the same suspenseful music continuing. And the show acts like nothing even happened.
  • When Blonsky asks Man-Bull to haul Jen's damaged car into the garage, he complains that he is "Man-Bull" and not "Mechanical Bull".
    El Aguila: Wow. How long have you been waiting to say that?
    Jen: Yeah, that felt really forced.
  • When Wrecker walks into the support meeting, Jen is outraged at seeing one of the guys who attacked her again. She then realises the audience may not remember who he is, so she demands another Previously on… in the middle of the episode to make sure we're up to speed. Once that's done, she hulks out and attacks him, only for Blonsky to tell her off and ask her to sit in the "calming chair" so they can discuss her issues. Man-Bull even gets upset because she threw Wrecker into the stack of chairs he'd carefully organized.
  • Blonsky's supervillain support group being so outraged at what Josh did to Jen that they suggest finding him and beating him up.
  • Everyone tries to talk Porcupine into removing his suit... and immediately regret it because he smells like ass from never taking the thing off. During the credits, he takes it to a launderer who's equally revolted!
    • Just Porcupine making his live-action debut. His suit is one of the most comic-accurate seen thus far in the MCU, and it's just as endearingly goofy in live-action as it is in the comics. Coupled with him having some compulsion to apparently keep the suit on at all times, resulting in it and him being quite fragrant, his appearance is memorably oddball.
  • Everybody thinking Man-Bull and El Aguila's relationship is codependent and weird.
  • Saracen says that Jen's blood would be tasty on reflex, then immediately begs someone to step in and change the subject.

    Episode Eight: Ribbit and Rip It 
  • In the Previously on…, Jen cuts to the point and straight out says “Previously on my show.”
  • Matt does his Living Lie Detector thing in court, saying that he has a "feeling" that Eugene is lying. The judge is unimpressed, saying that they can all tell Eugene is lying.
  • Jen tries to smooth things over with Luke after losing the lawsuit. Upon asking if he'll be her tailor again:
    Luke: (Indulgently) Jennnnnnn. Jenny Jen Jen. No. Because I hate you now.
  • Jen and Matt lightly flirting after Matt creams her in court. At one point, Jen has to check in with the audience that "You guys are sensing this, too, right? It's not just me?" Given the Preemptive Shipping between Jen and Matt. . . yep, we're right there with you, Jen.
  • When Jen finds out Matt is Daredevil, she asks "Do you pretend to be blind because that is so problematic."
    • Extra funny because Charlie Cox actually is pretending to be blind.
  • Jen threatens to whoop Daredevil's ass for attacking her client. Daredevil uses his acrobatic skills to avoid the attacks.
  • Jen learns that Daredevil is Matt Murdock... simply by picking him up and plucking his mask off.
  • This exchange between Daredevil and Jen after she discovers his true identity:
    Jen: Wait, why were you attacking my client?
    Daredevil: Leapfrog is the bad guy here, he kidnapped Luke Jacobson, he is holding him hostage.
    Jen: (stammering) uhh... Why didn't you tell me that before we fought?
    Daredevil: (mock stammering) uhh... Why didn't you ask me before immediately trying to whoop my ass?
    Jen: I'm sorry that I assumed the guy dressed as the devil was the bad one.
    Daredevil: Yeah, that's a fair point.
  • The title theme for Matt's show plays as he dramatically says "I'm Daredevil" and is cut off short when Jen is entirely nonplussed, never having heard of him.
  • Matt lets us know the technical difference between henchmen (true believers) and goons (in it for the money). Jen settles on "henchgoons".
  • Jen and Matt arguing over the superhero approach. Matt understandably wants to be stealthy, while Jen points out she's invulnerable and can just walk right in. Jen keeps poking fun at him for wanting to spend 30 minutes taking down bad guys one at a time, despite his complaints that she's inflating the number.
    • Daredevil goes and does his Signature Scene thing of engaging in a Hallway Fight, only to have Jen crash through the ceiling and take out all the remaining henchgoons in one blow. Matt just facepalms at Jen's total lack of finesse.
  • Leapfrog calls his secret lair the "Lilypad" and telegraphs it to the world with a huge neon sign.
  • Instead of fighting the main group of goons, She-Hulk simply picks up an arcade cabinet ("That's vintage!") and chucks it across the room to get the goons to stand down, then tries to talk Eugene out of racking up even more severe charges and how to write off the crimes he's already committed. Daredevil gives additional suggestions while continuing to beat up the goons/henchmen. Note that the goons are completely ignoring She-Hulk, so they apparently felt Daredevil was fair game in spite of her threat.
  • Matt's input of legal advice almost accidentally gives his ID away to Eugene of all people.
    Eugene: So, the devil ninja guy, he's a lawyer?
    Matt: (whilst still beating up henchgoons) No, I'm just a big fan of legal dramas.
  • As She-Hulk is trying to give Leap-Frog some legal advice, one of his goons hits her with a baseball bat. Jen just turns around, sighs and goes, "It's sad that you thought that would work."
  • Leap-Frog's defeat. He decides to leave the battle by jumping out of the window... and then he falls out of frame, where we hear cracks and screams. He is then seen crying while being led away on an ambulance stretcher. Jen and Matt also don’t bother to stop him as if they foretold that he would botch his jump. To be fair, he already failed a prior flying escape, so they accurately predicted that he would be stupid enough to make the same mistake.
  • Luke and Jen are finally reconciled, with him agreeing to make her Gala dress... Then immediately undercuts the moment with a bitchy jab at her physique.
    Jen: It's nice to be strained professional acquaintances again...
  • Matt and Jen's makeout session after they get back to her apartment is interrupted when Jen struggles to get his outfit off, leading to her dragging him to her room in an attempt to remove his clothes.
  • After spending the night with Jen, Matt Murdock - in full Daredevil suit - doing the "walk of shame" barefoot from her house in the morning, holding his boots in his hand and nonchalantly humming to himself. When Nikki arrives at Jen's apartment, she starts talking about the "guy in the devil suit" outside and trails off when she realises that Jen already knows about it. A sketch of Nikki passing him appears during the end credits.
    • Matt walking out in his costume brings to mind Dex wearing Matt's costume and proposing a toast at Kingpin's wedding, a fairly memetic scene.
  • Tech bro Todd tries to get Jen's help because he bought a Wakandan spear at auction and they want it back. Then he tries hitting on her aggressively and obnoxiously. Jen responds by using the table to pin him against the wall, then says she's going to charge him for the whole hour.
    • Todd shouting "Wakanda forever!", followed by Jen's very uncomfortable reaction.
    • The Credits show a sketch of him bidding on the spear, and also show that he beat out Leap-Frog (bidding in full costume, no less) for it.
  • The morning after Jen has sex with Matt, she walks into her living room, confused that the audience is still watching her and wondering why the episode isn't finished yet. Then Nikki walks in, talking about how Jen needs to get ready for the gala, and she realizes that the next episode is the finale and that the gala is the tacked-on set piece before the final episode.
    Jen: This episode already reached a very satisfying conclusion. (grins) Trust me.

    Episode Nine: Whose Show Is This? 
  • The episode opens with a dream Jen is having while in her prison cell: the The Incredible Hulk (1977) intro with her in place, including Lou Ferrigno-style makeup and prosthetics.
    • Later the narrator from the intro tries to start doing narration for the show and Jen stops him, noting her show hasn't gone that far off the rails.
  • Jen says to Nicki that she's going to sue the people behind Intelligencia, not Hulk out and attack them physically — Nicki relents with, "Ugh, boring. If you're gonna be all Jen Walters about it, that's cool" while pushing an invisible pair of glasses with one finger.
  • One of Nikki's pieces of advice to Pug when infiltrating the Intelligencia meetup is to "always refer to women as females".
    • Indeed, when he walks up to a group of trolls complaining about She-Hulk, he introduces himself with "Females, am I right?"
    • Several of the Intelligencia members' discussions are based on actual talking points by real-life trolls, with some seemingly taken verbatim from Reddit threads and YouTube comments sections.
  • Pug's very obvious discomfort of the idea of pretending to be a misogynistic troll and his Bad "Bad Acting".
    • Todd very casually calling Pug hot and one of the trolls agreeing that he'd smash Pug.
  • As befitting someone as pathetic as him, Todd's gamma-mutated form looks more like a 'roided-up nerd trying too hard to seem like a tough Fratbro than an imposing giant ala Hulk and Abomination.
  • The episode takes a shot at the homogenized nature of Marvel projects by having the studio be run by a robot called K.E.V.I.N. that strictly enforces a formula. It concedes that Jen has a point about how the show can have a more meaningful ending but then spitefully says she'll never get a movie because of how she annoyed it.note 
    • Jen's complaints includes the several daddy issues and asking when the X-Men are going to show up. She even gives the camera a wink and thumbs-up after asking about the latter.
    • Jen defends breaking through reality by pointing out that smashing is what Hulks do.
      Jen: Bruce smashes buildings. I smash fourth walls and bad endings. And sometimes Matt Murdock. (smirks at the camera)
    • It's a minor thing, but part of the hilarity of K.E.V.I.N. is that while Feige is represented here as a robot, the simulacrum is still "wearing" Feige's trademark baseball cap, via incorporating it into the robot's design.
      • Notably, early designs included the baseball cap as a piece separate from the robot, but it was vetoed by the actual Kevin Feige, who stated that it didn't make logical sense. To quote showrunner Jessica Gao:
        I said, 'That's the part that doesn't make sense to you, Kevin, that is the line of logic you won't cross, we have you represented as an AI brain that is controlling all of the Marvel Cinematic Universes, but the thing you can't get past is that it might have a hat on top of the machine?' And he said, 'Yeah.'"
  • K.E.V.I.N. asks She-Hulk to turn back into Jen while they talk — because she's very expensive to animate — but to do it off-camera, because the VFX team has already been assigned another project.
    • Adding to the punchline is a musical snippet of Ludwig Göransson's now-iconic Wakanda theme.
    • When things are wrapped up with K.E.V.I.N., Jen asks if she should transform back, or what the most budget friendly way to do it is. Turns out the answer is doing a Smash Cut to her back in her own show.
  • Daredevil makes an unexpected guest appearance (by which he literally drops in out of nowhere with a Three-Point Landing in full costume). Jen acknowledges that it's entirely gratuitous, but she insists because she's feeling frisky and wants to tap that again.
    Jen: Oh, would not mind seeing Daredevil again. A woman has needs.
    • Jen's not his only fan either, as Titania gives a flirty little "Hi, Daredevil!" at one point.
    • Pay attention to Matt after he drops in. He's looking around as if even he isn't quite sure how he got there.
    • Matt ends up having lunch with Jen's family, who grill him over his legal practice and financial situation. When Jen objects to the questions, her parents point out that raising babies in L.A. is expensive. Matt (jokingly) says he didn't expect the conversation to go in that direction, but he's sincerely told that every conversation with them will go that direction, so he'd better be prepared for it.
    • And then, Bruce returns with his own son, Skaar... and Jen's family is happy to at least have one grandson, instead of questioning that said grandson isn't human.
